 - [x] Lock body scroll on all pages (admin + public); only `main` or inner element scrolls
 - [x] Unify form CSS between admin `add.php` and student partage form: move licence/share-badge styles into `admin.css`, remove inline `<style>` from `partage/index.php`, switch to `common.css` + `admin.css`
 - [x] Extract form CSS into `form.css`; load it in admin add/edit via `$extraCss` and in student partage form directly; `system.css` now only used by `system.php`; `partage/thanks.php` rewritten to use design-system classes
+- [x] Fix student form: add missing `v_smtp_active` view to `schema.sql` (SMTP was silently skipped on fresh installs); fix `thanks.php` redirect (was `/partage/thanks.php` — blocked by nginx PHP deny rule); route `/partage/thanks` through `index.php` special-case handler
 - [x] Fix student form scroll (add `overflow-y:auto` to `.student-body`); move all remaining inline styles from partage error/password-gate pages into `form.css`
