Both routes re-hash password_hash from a plaintext the admin re-types, and
both validated it with nothing but express-validator's isLength({min:6}).
So the configured complexity — moderate by default, meaning 8 chars plus
upper, lower and a digit — governed creation and reset while these two doors
accepted 'aaaaaa' and made it the live gallery password.
Fixed for both at once, deliberately. Fixing only the newer send-later route
would have made a quiet-publish password valid at publish time and rejected
by send-later, leaving the admin unable to mail a gallery that is already
live under exactly that password.
Not an escalation — it needs admin auth plus events.edit, and such an admin
could already set the same weak password through /publish. It is a policy
gap: the UI promised a complexity level these two endpoints did not enforce.
BEHAVIOUR CHANGE: an API-only consumer publishing with a sub-policy password
now gets 400 with the same body shape event creation returns (error, details,
score, feedback) instead of silently weakening the gallery. Two existing test
fixtures had to change for the same reason — their intent was that the
supplied password is carried and persisted, not that a weak one is accepted.
