thatguygriffandClaude Opus 5	1d2f95d388	Require a name and birth year for every student ... Both fields are marked in their labels the same way a required registration question is, and enforced on the server whichever form they arrive from: GuardianService::createChild() and updateChild() now refuse a blank name or an unusable birth year, and the signup form checks the same rule up front, before it creates a single user, so a bad block never leaves a half-registered family behind. normaliseBirthYear() became public and static so both paths share one definition of what a usable year is. The signup form cannot lean on the browser here. Its child blocks are hidden until the parent/guardian box is ticked, and a `required` field inside a hidden container makes the whole form unsubmittable with no control the user can reach to fix — the same trap the guardian's own question panel already sidesteps by disabling rather than hiding. So register.js puts `required` on and takes it off along with the block itself, and the server is what makes the rule hold with JavaScript off. The profile screen has no such problem: its forms are always visible, so the attribute is static there. One behaviour change beyond the requirement: a child block with anything typed into it is now reported back instead of dropped. Previously any block without a name was silently discarded, which would now mean losing a birth year the guardian had filled in. A wholly untouched spare block — the one the form always renders for "add another" — is still ignored. Verified the required-toggling in a headless browser: unticked submits, ticked blocks an empty block, a cloned block inherits the requirement, and re-unticking leaves nothing behind to block a non-guardian signup.
