Core and modules exchange PostgreSQL SQL text, bound parameters, result
rows with field metadata, and Core-owned transaction scopes. Never ORM
objects. A module may use Drizzle, Kysely, raw SQL, or another
module-side builder. Core's own ORM becomes an implementation detail.

ADR 0050 decides:
- an explicit correctness/compatibility boundary, not a security
  sandbox: no claim for SQL parsing, execution-time prefix checks,
  SET ROLE, or PostgreSQL roles;
- opt-in through manifest version 8 `database.abi: 1`, a hard cutover
  like every manifest version; a version 8 module without `database`
  keeps the legacy ModuleDatabase facade during the deprecation window;
- the executor: query({ text, values, rowMode }) returning
  { command, rowCount, rows, fields }, one executor per module;
- a small parameter set (no Date, no implicit JSON, no identifiers);
- a Core-owned decoding table that loses no precision and does not
  depend on time zones (int8, numeric, temporal, and JSON as text;
  bytea as Uint8Array);
- a sanitized ModuleDatabaseError { code, sqlState? }, recognised
  structurally;
- callback-scoped transactions and Core-named savepoints, revoked when
  their callback settles;
- module-side adapters (Drizzle via pg-proxy, raw SQL, later Kysely);
- plain schema metadata for ABI v1 modules instead of Drizzle objects;
- migrations unchanged; packageFormat stays 1; ABI v1 packages omit
  transitional.databaseRuntime.

It partly supersedes ADR 0016 and amends ADR 0007 for ABI v1 modules,
and extends ADR 0049. Status Proposed. Accepted ADRs are unchanged. No
runtime, SDK, manifest, packaging, migration, or Signage changes.

A separately versioned module is now distributed as one deterministic
.tar.gz and its SHA-256, produced by an Ekklesia-owned packager and checked by
Core before anything is installed. This slice implements the portable `any`
target, with the module template as the end-to-end proof. ADR 0049 is
accepted.

@ekklesia/contracts: the Module Package v1 contract. The strict
ekklesia.package.json schema (packageFormat 1, identity, target, runtime,
provenance, incorporated Ekklesia packages, strict transitional facts, an
exact byte-wise-sorted file list with size and SHA-256), target names, and the
generated runtime package.json.

@ekklesia/module-pack (new, tooling): `ekklesia-pack-module --module <dir>
--target any --out <dir> --source-revision <commit>`.
- Bundles server, schema, and jobs with esbuild, SDK, contracts, and Drizzle
  included; only Node built-ins remain imports. Any warning, unresolved
  import, external dependency, or native or platform-specific package fails.
- Copies browser artifacts as built, after proving them current, and the
  migrations; generates package.json and ekklesia.package.json; never ships
  src, tests, declarations, source maps, or workspace ranges.
- THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES: every third-party package traced from the bundles'
  own inputs, credited once with its declared licence and every licence,
  copying, copyright, and notice file it ships. A missing licence fails; a
  missing text fails unless its standard text is complete without copyright
  lines (Apache-2.0, vendored, needed by drizzle-orm).
- Deterministic ustar and gzip: sorted paths, uid/gid 0, empty names, mtime
  0, 0755/0644, no links. Byte-identical across runs and machines.
- Writes only the archive and its .sha256; never deploys, links, or installs,
  so the workspace's install state is untouched.

Core: verifyModulePackage and `verify-module-package.js <archive>
[--sha256 | --sha256-file] [--extract-to <new dir>]`. Reads the archive in
memory and refuses links, special entries, setuid/setgid/sticky modes, unsafe
or escaping paths, and a second top-level directory; checks metadata, every
file, identity, target, Node.js range, SDK, and the transitional Drizzle
agreement; runs the platform's module and migration discovery; loads the
backend once in a forked process with an empty environment; only then
extracts, with normalized modes, into a new directory. Errors are sanitized.

@ekklesia/module-ui-build: analyzeModuleUi reports each artifact's inputs
and whether the built file is current. The nested stylesheet build now works
from the module directory, so artifacts no longer depend on the caller's
working directory.

The split deploy smoke builds the package with the canonical packager
(scripts/lib/build-module-package.Dockerfile replaces the test-only pnpm
deploy packaging), verifies it with the same generic image, installs the
verified tree, removes it, and reinstalls the exact same archive.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5.5 e36b70d8d4 feat: one generic image, with installed modules in installation-owned storage (ADR 0048)

The production image now contains zero feature modules and is the same for every
installation. Installed modules live in module storage that one Core resolver
selects from EKKLESIA_MODULES_DIR: the checkout's modules/ when unset, an
absolute path that must exist when set (/var/lib/ekklesia/modules in the image).
A relative, blank, missing, or unreadable configured directory fails closed with
a sanitized error that never contains the value.

- Host configuration reads EKKLESIA_MODULES_DIR. The API, migration plan, apply
  and validate, module validation, module enablement, and Doctor all resolve it
  the same way; the test-only API override still takes precedence.
- Doctor receives Core's migrations directory explicitly instead of deriving it
  from the modules directory's parent.
- The migration runner retains and reports the applied history of a module that
  is not installed, and plans and applies Core's and present modules' migrations
  around it. Core's history and every installed module's history stay strict: a
  missing or changed applied migration, or a downgrade, still fails. No down
  migrations, no data deletion.
- deploy/Dockerfile copies no module and installs nothing for the module
  template; .dockerignore excludes modules/ and the build refuses a context that
  contains it; the runtime has an empty root-owned /var/lib/ekklesia/modules and
  sets EKKLESIA_MODULES_DIR.
- deploy/compose.yaml bind-mounts EKKLESIA_MODULES_HOST_DIR read-only into api
  and migrate, with create_host_path disabled.
- scripts/check-image.sh proves the image holds no modules and that a populated
  modules/ directory leaves its runtime file system identical; CI runs it.
- The split deploy smoke now uses the same generic image: it boots with no
  modules, installs a self-contained test module packaged from the template
  (test-only), migrates and restarts, removes it (Core runs, planning reports the
  retained history, data survives), and restores it with its data.

Docs: deploy README (module storage, install/update/remove/restore, the runtime
modules target), .env.example, API configuration, module development guide,
testing, workflow, security, and the architecture overview.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 20d5128bad docs: record the five Phase 8 prerequisites, and report contributions
Bring the living documentation in line with what the five passes actually
shipped, and correct the claims they superseded rather than leaving them to
mislead: the module UI context is six members, not five; module styling is
compiled CSS, not inline objects only; the strict manifest is version 7.

Also close a silent failure the new contribution mechanism introduces. A
contribution whose target capability nobody provides — or whose provider moved
outside its declared range — is not published, and the manifest is valid and
the artifact exists, so an operator sees a screen that renders nothing with no
error anywhere. `pnpm modules:validate` now lists each declared contribution
with its capability and range and says whether a compatible provider is
installed, and Doctor's discovery check reports the same per module. Both
derive from the publication registry the API serves from, so neither can
disagree with what a running platform would actually publish.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 2b4f0afb72 fix: give Doctor the host configuration the runtime receives
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 42s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 14s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 1m24s
`pnpm doctor` and `startApi` each read their own subset of the same
environment variables, and the subsets had drifted. Doctor never read
`S3_*` or module secrets at all, so a correctly configured installation
was told its object storage was "not configured" and every module
requiring a bucket or a secret was reported blocked -- while the runtime,
from the identical environment, bound those buckets and ran the modules.

Both executables now map the environment through one
`loadHostConfiguration(env)` in Core, which takes the environment as an
argument and never reads `process.env` itself. Validation stays with the
existing per-domain validators, so each caller keeps its own failure
behaviour: startup refuses a rejected value, Doctor reports it as a
sanitized code.

Doctor's storage option becomes raw input like its mail option, so a
half-configured provider is reported as a blocking configuration failure
instead of throwing before a report exists. The outbound-email check --
computed, counted toward the result, but absent from every rendered
section -- is now printed, and the rendered set is asserted against a
real report so a future check cannot go missing the same way.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 fa3021e49b feat: add a host-provided outbound email transport
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 42s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 21s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 1m23s
Ekklesia could authenticate people and pair devices but could not send a
single message. Better Auth has been configured with emailAndPassword
since ADR 0011 and neither of its mail hooks — sendResetPassword and
emailVerification.sendVerificationEmail — was ever implemented, so email
verification, password recovery, and invitations were all blocked on the
same missing thing.

That missing thing is a transport, not a Google Workspace integration.
Email is now a host-provided infrastructure service with a provider seam,
shaped exactly like object storage: feature code says "send this
transactional message" and the provider owns the host, port, TLS,
credentials, connection behaviour, and every transport error. No
provider's hostname appears anywhere in Core, and a test asserts it.
Google Workspace SMTP Relay is the expected first deployment and a
compatibility target — the same variables address Microsoft 365, a
transactional provider, or a local Postfix.

The contract is deliberately tiny: one recipient or a small bounded list,
a subject, text and/or HTML, an optional reply-to, and nothing else. There
is no `from` field at all — the sender is host configuration, so no
feature and no future module can choose who mail appears to come from,
which is how a platform otherwise acquires an impersonation primitive.
Control characters are refused rather than stripped in addresses, display
names, subjects, and reply-to values; writing that rule down was not
enough, because the first implementation trimmed an address before
checking it and silently accepted a trailing carriage return until a test
caught it.

Security modes are named rather than inferred from a boolean and a port,
which is genuinely ambiguous: `secure: false` on 587 means "connect in the
clear and hope STARTTLS is offered". `starttls` sets requireTLS so a
stripped upgrade fails the send instead of continuing in plaintext,
production refuses `plaintext` outright, and certificate verification has
no off switch. Credentials are optional as a pair, because a relay
authorized by source IP has neither and requiring them would make the
intended production arrangement unconfigurable; half a pair fails loudly.

Connection, greeting, and socket timeouts are all explicit — the
object-storage pass already showed what a network client on library
defaults does to a request. Nothing retries: a failure after the message
data has gone out is ambiguous, and retrying it turns one password-reset
request into several emails, so this is a single bounded attempt and
deliberately not an exactly-once promise.

Email stays optional. An installation with no SMTP host is a complete
deployment, nothing sends at startup, and constructing the transport opens
no socket. There is no POST /api/v1/send-email and no route that touches
the provider — an authenticated send endpoint is an open relay with extra
steps. Modules get nothing either; services are added one at a time when
something real needs one, and nothing does yet.

Proven against a real in-process SMTP server rather than a mock: delivery
with the host's sender on the wire, authentication and its sanitized
refusal, a rejected mailbox distinguished from an outage, a refused
connection, a silent server hitting its deadline, and a starttls transport
refusing to continue when the upgrade is not offered. No test sends real
email and no live credential exists in this repository or in CI.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 80189c8ae2 feat: give display devices their own paired identity
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 40s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 21s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 1m22s
ADR 0033 gave Ekklesia a display host and ADR 0034 gave it a login page.
Together, the only way to light a television in a foyer was to sign a
human being into it and leave that session running on a screen anyone can
walk up to: a person's credentials on a wall, a person's session as the
thing signage depends on, and the display going dark when they are
revoked or their session simply expires.

A screen is not a person. Ekklesia now recognizes three principal classes
— anonymous, authenticated human, and managed device — and a device is a
first-class principal with its own credential and its own explicit
permissions. It has no email, no password, and no row in the identity
tables, and it satisfies the `authenticated` baseline never, so every
route that settles for "somebody is signed in" stays closed to it.

Device permissions live in their own table because
ekklesia_core_grant.user_id is a non-null foreign key into the user table
and making it polymorphic would rewrite the platform's central
authorization record to serve one narrow case. That is a schema decision,
not a second decision point: the evaluator gained one branch, so a device
is allowed or denied by the same function, with the same deny-by-default,
as anyone else — with no owner path it could reach and no baseline that
stands in for a grant.

The six-digit code is not the credential. It is printed across a screen in
a public hallway, so it is treated as public: it identifies a request to
an administrator and is worth nothing alone. Collecting the credential
also requires a 256-bit claim secret held only in the requesting browser's
HttpOnly cookie, and approving requires the restricted core.devices.manage
permission. Without that split, reading a code off a wall would hand over
the screen's identity.

The permission a pairing asks for is read from the module's validated
display declaration, never from the request, so a browser cannot ask to be
granted core.devices.manage or another module's permission. Approval
grants exactly that one permission.

Credentials are stored only as SHA-256; the raw value exists in the
Set-Cookie that issues it and the device's own cookie jar, and is never
logged, returned in JSON, or placed in a URL. The cookie is HttpOnly, so
the module display code running in that same page cannot read it.
Revocation is a server-side column checked on every principal resolution,
and re-pairing mints a new identity so an old credential can never come
back. State transitions are conditional updates, so one code cannot be
approved twice or claimed into two credentials under a race.

/api/v1/principal still reports a device as anonymous: it is what the
Dashboard uses to decide whether a person is signed in. Displays read
their viewer from the descriptor instead, which already performed the
authorization — so displays are descriptor-first while the Dashboard stays
principal-first, and neither infers an identity by elimination.

Proven end to end against real PostgreSQL and real HTTP: an unpaired
screen shows a code, an owner approves it, the device opens the display
descriptor and a realtime stream, and revocation closes both while the
device still holds its cookie. An already-open SSE stream is bounded by
realtime's existing five-minute reconnect rather than closed instantly,
and that bound is documented rather than called immediate.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 7ff063b87a feat: deliver module objects directly to browsers through opaque read URLs
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 36s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 20s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 56s
ADR 0030 left exactly one way to get an image to a browser: read the
object into the module's process and write it back out of a module HTTP
route. Every byte of every asset travelled storage -> Ekklesia -> browser.
For the slideshow this platform exists to replace that means Ekklesia in
the path of every image on every display, permanently, for bytes that
never change — and it would make Ekklesia responsible for re-implementing
byte ranges, without which video seeking cannot work at all.

A module can now ask a logical bucket for a temporary browser URL:

    const { url, expiresAt } = await assets.createReadUrl("slides/welcome.png");

The contract names intent, not mechanism. There is no signing, expiry
format, endpoint, or bucket in it — a host with no S3 anywhere could
satisfy the same method, which is what keeps a future single-module
standalone host able to implement it. The URL is opaque to module code and
a bearer capability to whoever holds it, so a module authorizes the
request in its own route before asking: storage bounds reach, never
identity. Lifetimes run one minute to six hours, fifteen by default, and
out-of-range values are refused rather than clamped, so "expires forever"
is unreachable. Logical keys stay canonical state; URLs are generated on
demand and never persisted or logged.

The provider endpoint and the browser delivery origin are separated
because measurement showed they cannot be collapsed: an S3-compatible
signature covers the request Host, so a URL signed for one origin and
rewritten to another is rejected. The browser-facing origin is therefore a
signing input (S3_DELIVERY_ENDPOINT), defaulting to S3_ENDPOINT — so the
standard deployment configures nothing and delivery just works. The scheme
is not signed, so a reverse proxy may terminate TLS provided it passes the
original Host through; that is pinned by a test rather than described and
hoped for.

Read URLs are stable within a window of one third of their lifetime.
Signing is a pure function of the clock, so naive re-signing yields a new
URL per second — a guaranteed browser cache miss, and the reference client
keys its <img> by URL, so an unchanged image would be torn down and
re-downloaded continuously. Quantizing the signing timestamp makes
repeated calls byte-identical while leaving at least two-thirds of the
lifetime; Cache-Control is set at signing time to the guaranteed
remainder, because the pinned SeaweedFS image sends none of its own.

Verified against live SeaweedFS: byte ranges answered directly with 206
and a correct Content-Range, so no range proxy is needed in Core; signing
is local (200 URLs in 66ms), so no batch API is needed; unsigned requests
for the same object are refused, so delivery never depends on a public
bucket; tampered signatures, swapped keys, and swapped buckets all
rejected. Signed write and delete URLs are deliberately not built.

CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Failing after 2m20s
`manifest.storage.buckets` has existed since manifest version 1 and meant
nothing — discovery validated it and no code read it. This turns it into a
real capability, which is what stands between Announcements and the module
system: that product currently fetches a hardcoded LAN S3 endpoint, parses
ListObjectsV2 XML by hand, and hands the browser direct object URLs.

- A module declares a logical bucket and receives a scoped facade at
  `context.storage` — list, head, get, put, delete. The contract names no
  provider: no endpoint, region, credential, or physical bucket is reachable
  from it, which is what lets the same module run under a future standalone
  host over its own or a shared S3-compatible service.
- Core's first provider speaks S3 through the AWS SDK. SeaweedFS is the
  deployment target (ADR 0004), never an API name. Probing the pinned image
  found `CreateBucket` reporting `BucketAlreadyExists` rather than AWS's
  `BucketAlreadyOwnedByYou`; treating only the AWS spelling as success would
  have failed every second boot. A live test pins it.
- Logical → physical mapping is deterministic and collision-safe: an
  installation prefix, the module and bucket ids joined by `--` (which cannot
  occur inside either identifier, so `a-b`+`c` and `a`+`b-c` cannot collide),
  and a digest over the full untruncated identity. Two modules declaring
  `assets` always get separate namespaces; neither can see the physical name.
- Declaring a bucket is now a requirement: with no provider configured the
  module is `blocked · storage_unavailable` through ADR 0028's existing
  resolver, propagating to required dependents. An installation with no object
  storage stays a complete deployment.
- Binding availability is not provider health. Eligibility asks whether
  storage is configured, never whether it answered; bucket creation is lazy on
  first use so a storage outage cannot stop the platform booting; a running
  module whose store blinks stays running and retries. Nothing deletes a
  bucket.
- Credentials are deployment-supplied, never persisted, never routed through
  module configuration, and never visible to modules, module UI, diagnostics,
  or API responses. Provider errors translate to a closed code set carrying no
  endpoint, bucket, request id, or XML.
- Retires ADR 0029's transitional `bucket` configuration key. No manifest
  version change. The template declares no bucket, so it still runs without S3.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 baa689b2a7 feat: add the module configuration and secrets contract
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 35s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 21s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 46s
Modules had no way to be told anything. Announcements — the first real
product Ekklesia will absorb — has zero environment variables and compiles
a LAN IP address into its source, so this is the contract standing between
it and the module system.

- A module declares what it needs in its manifest, using six bounded types
  (string, integer, boolean, enum, url, secret) with no nesting and no
  regular expressions. Static declaration is what lets the platform validate
  configuration *before* deciding whether a module may start: an enabled
  module missing a required value is reported `blocked ·
  configuration_missing · <key>` rather than taking startup down from inside
  its own `start` hook, and Doctor reports the same while still importing no
  module code. That forces `manifestVersion: 5`, a hard cutover.
- Ordinary values persist in one Core table (migration 0005), one row per
  (module_id, key), stored as text until validated against the declaring
  module's current manifest. Nothing is coerced; an invalid stored value
  blocks the module rather than falling back to the default. A key the
  manifest no longer declares is retained and ignored.
- Secrets are never persisted. There is no encryption at rest in this
  repository, so a `secret` key is deployment-supplied and mapped in by the
  host under a name the module never sees. A secret declaration has no
  `default` field, the write API refuses secret material, and the HTTP view
  has no `value` field for one — absent by construction, not filtered.
- Modules receive a frozen `context.config` on the registration, runtime,
  and HTTP handler contexts: the same object identity, per module, beside
  `services` rather than inside it (services is deliberately one shared
  instance). No environment access, no database reference, no way to reach
  another module's values.
- Configuration decides eligibility through ADR 0028's existing resolver:
  three new blocked reasons, each with a distinct operator fix, propagating
  to required dependents through the same mechanism as a disabled module.
- Changes take effect at the next restart; both resources report
  restartRequired. New restricted permission
  `core.modules.configuration.manage`, separate from lifecycle, at the
  sibling prefix `/api/v1/module-configuration`.
- Migration participation stays independent of configuration validity.
  Endpoints and credentials for shared infrastructure stay platform
  concerns; a module declares which bucket it needs, not an S3 endpoint.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 7729c99e24 feat: add the minimal operational module lifecycle
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 35s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 13s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 46s
Ekklesia had no notion of a module being on or off: the accepted module set
was exactly "whatever discovery found on disk", and `ModuleLifecycleStage`
named nine states nothing produced or consumed. This replaces that vocabulary
with two axes that real code produces — persistent, administrator-owned
configuration (`enabled`/`disabled`) and per-boot runtime observation
(`running`/`disabled`/`blocked`) — and wires them through startup.

- One Core table (`ekklesia_core_module_state`, migration 0004) holding only
  `module_id` and `enabled`. A module with no record is enabled by default, so
  deploying a module is still sufficient to run it and discovery never needs an
  initialization write. A record for an undeployed module is retained and
  ignored, so redeploying restores the decision.
- `resolveModuleEligibility` is pure: a disabled module transitively blocks
  every module that *requires* it (module and capability edges alike) with a
  structured reason naming the provider; optional dependencies never block; and
  a missing, incompatible, or cyclic dependency stays discovery's concern.
- `startApi` starts only the eligible set and builds the UI publication
  registry from that same list, so routes, artifacts, browser inventory, and
  Dashboard navigation all follow one authoritative set. A disabled module is
  never imported, so there is no per-request enablement check anywhere.
- Startup stays all-or-nothing, deliberately; there is consequently no `failed`
  runtime state. `pnpm modules:enable`/`modules:disable` is the out-of-band
  recovery path for a module that breaks startup.
- Changes take effect at the next start, and the read model reports
  configuration, runtime, and `restartRequired` separately rather than claiming
  a module stopped when it has not.
- Migration participation and permission composition still span the deployed
  and discovered inventories respectively, unchanged.
- New restricted platform permission `core.modules.lifecycle.manage` gates both
  reading and changing enablement, at a sibling prefix (`/api/v1/module-lifecycle`)
  that cannot collide with the module route namespace.
- `pnpm doctor` gains a `modules.lifecycle` check so "why is this module
  unavailable?" is answerable without reading logs.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 bd34c9c714 feat: add Dashboard navigation as presentation configuration
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 34s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 12s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 44s
Phase 6D pass 1. The shell's navigation was a flat list of module ids, which
is not a usable experience — and the obvious fix carries an obvious trap.
Letting a module declare its folder, or modelling "Media" as something
Livestream and Video belong to, turns a rendering preference into
architecture: a folder becomes an owner, membership starts to look like a
dependency, and the flat module graph acquires a hierarchy nobody decided on.

So the rule comes first: a Dashboard group is a label on a rendering bucket.
No manifest, no version, no artifact, no API, no lifecycle; nothing depends on
it. Livestream depends on Video because it calls Video's functionality, and
that orders startup. Livestream is shown under Media, and that orders nothing.
No parent module, child module, owning module, or group-derived dependency
appears anywhere in the contracts.

No manifest change and no version 5. `manifest.name` has been required since
version 1 and already is the module's product identity, so the shell renders
"Livestream" instead of `livestream` with nothing added. `suggestedGroup` is
deliberately deferred rather than shipped: it would force a hard
manifest-version cutover for a hint, and its only correct semantics needs
initialization logic that risks a suggestion overwriting an administrator's
decision. Defaulting and ownership are different things.

Two Core tables (migration 0003) hold groups and placements — server-side,
because a church configures its Dashboard rather than one browser;
platform-global, because no organization model exists to scope them to.
`group_id` is `on delete set null`, so deleting a group ungroups its modules
and a dangling reference is impossible. `module_id` carries no foreign key,
because modules are packages rather than rows, so a placement for an
uninstalled module is retained and restores its position on reinstall.

`resolveDashboardNavigation` is a pure function of configuration plus the
mountable set: an unplaced module is ungrouped and visible with no
initialization write, an absent module renders nothing, empty groups are kept,
and ordering is total with the module id as final tie-break.

`GET /api/v1/dashboard/navigation` returns the resolved view, layered on top of
the host-neutral module UI inventory rather than merged into it — each generic
descriptor is embedded untouched, so a standalone host never inherits Dashboard
semantics. Reading needs the permission the inventory already needs; organizing
needs the new platform permission `core.dashboard.navigation.manage` through a
narrow, idempotent, closed-validation mutation contract. No editor UI.

The flatness rule is executable: a test discovers real fixtures with a genuine
dependency, arranges them four ways including both in one folder and the
dependency inverted in presentation, and asserts discovery order, dependency
declarations, and the module set stay byte-identical. The end-to-end test
organizes a real installation through the real API, mounts a module from inside
a group, moves it, and asserts the navigation entry is byte-identical across the
move and still mounts the same artifact.

The shell's client for the generic inventory became dead code and was removed
rather than kept speculatively; the endpoint itself is unchanged.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 616c1d4834 feat: mount discovered module UI in a minimal Ekklesia browser host
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 34s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 21s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 43s
Phase 6C pass 2. Every link in the module UI chain existed except the one
that closes it: a module could be authored, built, validated, published at a
browser URL, and loaded by a generic loader — and nothing in Ekklesia did any
of it. There was no browser application at all.

Two pieces were missing. A browser could not discover what to mount, and it
must not work that out for itself.

GET /api/v1/module-ui is the inventory: per publishable module, its id and
version, the server-produced artifact URL, the server-produced root of the
module's own API, and the subset of that module's declared permissions the
caller holds. Five fields, each because building a ModuleUiHostContext needs
it — no filesystem paths, and no name/icon/folder/order, because navigation
metadata is a design that does not exist yet. Its module set is the ADR 0025
publication registry rather than a rescan, so the inventory and the artifact
route cannot disagree. It requires a new Core permission, core.modules.ui.read
(baseline authenticated), because it is precisely the enumeration the anonymous
artifact route deliberately withholds.

Both URLs are server-produced. moduleUiArtifactUrl already existed;
moduleApiBaseUrl is now exported and moduleRoutePath builds on it, so each URL
shape has exactly one author. Without it the shell would hardcode
/api/v1/modules/<id> — the prefix ADR 0022 forbids a module UI from spelling,
reappearing in the host instead.

surfaces/shell (@ekklesia/shell) is the repository's first surface: a small
React application built to static files by its own esbuild script. It resolves
the principal, fetches the inventory, builds the host context entirely from
server-derived data, and hands the artifact URL to @ekklesia/module-ui-host.
One frame per selection — keyed by module identity — defeats the stale-load
race; the host owns the container, the loading state, and every failure, so a
broken module costs its own panel rather than the shell.

The shell statically imports no module, and both levels are checked: no source
import may name a module, and the emitted bundle must contain exactly one
dynamic import (the loader's) with no module id, no /api/v1/modules, no eval,
and no blob URL. Permission hints come from Core's own evaluator and stay
presentation-only — the end-to-end test has a UI holding no grant call its API
anyway and still receive 403.

Surfaces may now depend only on browser-safe shared roles; @ekklesia/contracts
is deliberately excluded, since its barrel pulls Drizzle's types and Node's
globals into the browser — the hole ADR 0024 closed one layer down.

Not the Dashboard: no navigation, grouping, icons, ordering, design system, or
routing. The selector is a list of module ids.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 a02deb9433 feat: publish validated module UI artifacts at a platform-owned URL
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 32s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 13s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 41s
Phase 6C pass 1. ADR 0024 named the one thing missing between the module UI
build pipeline and the generic host loader: Core resolves entrypoints.ui to an
absolute server filesystem path, and a browser needs a URL. This adds that
publication layer.

Core owns the policy. createModuleUiPublicationRegistry builds, from the
discovered and started module inventory, the answer to "may this be published,
and which exact file is it?" — publishable means the module survived discovery
and declares entrypoints.ui, with no new lifecycle state and no installer.

apps/api owns the transport: GET /api/v1/module-ui/<module-id>/<version>. Both
segments are lookup keys, not path components. An exact match yields the
canonical artifact path discovery already validated; no request value is ever
composed into a filesystem path, and the route declares no wildcard segment, so
traversal, encoded separators, sibling chunks, package-root files, and source
maps are unreachable by construction. An installed module directory never
becomes a static file root.

The prefix is a sibling of /api/v1/modules/, not a child: `ui` is a legal module
route segment, so a module registering GET /ui/:version would otherwise compete
with the platform for one URL with routing order deciding the winner.

The route requires no authentication, deliberately. Fetching the bundle confers
no authority, and a cookie-gated route would break cross-origin import(), which
sends none. The cost is stated rather than hidden: a caller who knows a module
id and its exact version can download that bundle. The three failure modes
return one identical 404 so the route is not an enumeration oracle.

Caching is no-cache with a strong SHA-256 ETag and RFC 9110 If-None-Match
handling, not immutable: without an installer nothing stops a version being
rebuilt with different bytes. The server reads bytes and writes bytes — never
imports, evaluates, or transforms the artifact.

Nothing mounts a module UI. A host could now obtain a URL, which was previously
impossible; there is still no Dashboard shell, navigation, or metadata endpoint.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 44e676f0df feat: close the browser boundary and add the generic UI host loader
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 36s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 20s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 41s
Two gaps stood between the module UI contract and a host that could use
it. ADR 0023 recorded the first honestly but never diagnosed it: a module
UI file compiled with `"types": []` could still typecheck `process.env`.
The second was simply missing — nothing imported a compiled artifact,
checked its identity, mounted it, or tore it down.

The leak was one type-only import, bisected against the real type graph
rather than guessed. `@ekklesia/module-ui-sdk` imported
`type { EkklesiaPrincipal } from "@ekklesia/contracts"`. Importing
contracts/identity alone is clean and importing Zod alone is clean, but
contracts exposes a single barrel entry, so that one import reached
module-database, whose Drizzle types re-introduce Node's globals. The
runtime was never affected — the import was erased and host-context.js is
`export {}` — but a type-graph leak is still a real boundary failure,
because it silently permits code that cannot run in its target
environment.

The fix is not a narrower import path. The SDK now has no dependencies at
all, so there is no graph to leak through and no future contracts change
can reopen this. It owns `ModuleUiPrincipal`: the same shape ADR 0022
chose, with the Zod brand dropped. That brand encodes a server-side
parsing guarantee a browser cannot produce, and it is the same reason
`permissions.has` already took a plain string. An Ekklesia host still
passes its own `EkklesiaPrincipal` straight through — a branded string is
assignable to `string` — while a standalone host builds the literal.
Proven the way an author experiences it: two fixtures compiled under the
exact project a module uses, one supported and one deliberately reaching
for `process`, with the second required to fail on that specific name.

`@ekklesia/module-ui-host` is the generic loader, in its own package
because the SDK is bundled into every module artifact and host-only
loader code has no business shipping there. The boundary checker enforces
both directions: modules may not depend on the loader, and the loader may
depend only on the SDK plus dev-time tooling.

The distinction that shaped the design: Core resolves `entrypoints.ui` to
an absolute path on the server's disk, and a browser needs a URL. A
loader that accepted the path would test green on a server and fail in
every real host, and would quietly own asset publication. So the loader
takes a browser-loadable URL and knows nothing about how one is obtained.
Ekklesia has no route that publishes installed artifacts, so this is
precisely: loader complete, publication deferred. Nothing can mount an
installed module UI yet, and the docs say so rather than implying
otherwise.

Dynamic import is `(url) => import(url)` with a non-analyzable specifier,
kept as a runtime import so a host does not statically bundle every
installed module or need a hardcoded registry. It is injectable for
bundlers needing their own escape hatch, and deliberately not `eval` or
`new Function`, which would cost a host `unsafe-eval` in its CSP.

Identity is validated through the SDK's existing parser before `mount`
runs, so a stale or mismatched bundle never renders. Contract violations
propagate unwrapped; the loader adds only import and mount failure codes,
sanitized, with the cause attached. Unmount is idempotent, safe when a
module returned no cleanup, and marks an instance unmounted before
running cleanup so a throwing cleanup surfaces once and never re-runs. A
failed mount registers no cleanup. Each instance owns its own state, so
two mounts coexist. The loader never mutates the host's container — not
on success, failure, or unmount.

Tests prove all of it against real module URLs (`data:`, which both
browsers and Node import natively) rather than filesystem paths,
including one artifact built by the canonical Pass 2 pipeline and run
under both an Ekklesia-shaped and a standalone-shaped context. Core,
apps/api, and the contracts package are untouched; discovery remains
inert.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 1e5866504e feat: build module UI into its declared browser artifact
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 32s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 26s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 50s
ADR 0022 defined what a module UI is and selected React and TypeScript
as the authoring model, but closed by recording that it was not buildable
end to end: `browser.json` preserves JSX, bundler plugins are denied, and
nothing turned a module's `.tsx` into the artifact its manifest declares.
This closes exactly that gap.

esbuild produces the artifact. It was already the right answer before it
was chosen: this workspace resolves esbuild 0.28.1 through Vite/Vitest
today and `pnpm-workspace.yaml` already carries `allowBuilds: esbuild`,
so the pinned dependency adds no second copy and no new trust decision.
It is also the smallest tool that covers TSX, ESM, browser platform,
bundling, source maps, and a define-time constant with no plugin
ecosystem. Vite library mode would drag in `@vitejs/plugin-react`, which
the module boundary denies on purpose; `tsc` alone cannot bundle, so its
output would carry bare `react/jsx-runtime` imports no browser resolves.

React is bundled, not externalized. That follows from ADR 0022 rather
than from convenience: `mount()` was made the ABI precisely so React
would not be part of the host contract, and externalizing it would
reverse that through the build system — every host would have to supply
a compatible React, and a standalone host might not use React at all.
The cost is real and accepted: duplicate runtimes and a ~570 KB
unminified artifact. Sharing one runtime later is a build optimization
that cannot change the contract, because the contract is a mount
function.

Output is browser ESM at `es2022`, unminified so an operator can review
what they install, with `process.env.NODE_ENV` substituted — React reads
it at module scope and would otherwise touch a Node global that does not
exist in a browser. The output path is read from the module's own
manifest rather than a build convention, so declared and produced
artifacts cannot drift, and it is validated with the same
`packageRelativePathSchema` discovery enforces, so a build can never
write where discovery would later reject.

`@ekklesia/module-ui-build` owns every option; modules own none. It uses
the existing `tooling` role that modules could already depend on, so this
pass required no boundary relaxation at all. Its `bin` points at a
committed launcher rather than compiled output because pnpm links bins
during install, before Turborepo builds anything — a bin targeting
`dist/cli.js` fails to link on a fresh clone and breaks every module's UI
build in CI. A module with no `entrypoints.ui` is not an error; the CLI
reports nothing to build and exits zero, so one script serves both kinds
of module.

Styling is React inline style objects. A stylesheet import fails the
build rather than emitting a sidecar `.css` that no manifest declares and
no host loads — an undeclared asset would appear to work in tests and
silently do nothing in a real host.

`templates/module` is the canonical example and now ships optional UI.
Its tests build the artifact from source, validate it with
`parseModuleUiExport`, mount it into a real DOM, assert the rendered
output, and unmount it; the artifact is rebuilt per run so the proof can
never pass against stale output, and `dist/` stays gitignored. Because
verify runs both `pnpm test` and `pnpm build`, a UI that cannot be
produced fails CI through two independent paths.

One correction worth stating plainly: the UI TypeScript project declares
`"types": []`, and a UI file referencing `process` does fail in
isolation, but TypeScript still pulls Node globals in transitively — a
file importing `@ekklesia/module-ui-sdk` reaches `@ekklesia/contracts`
and through its Zod and Drizzle types `process.env` typechecks again.
The docs and ADR describe this as the convention it is rather than the
guard it is not.

Core is untouched. Building is an authoring step; discovery still only
validates the artifact a module shipped and never executes or produces
one.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 8d651c427d feat: define the module UI authoring model and host contract
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 30s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 23s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 45s
ADR 0021 established that a module may own UI and added a statically
validated, never-executed `entrypoints.ui` path, but deliberately left
five questions open: what the artifact exports, what a host provides,
how one artifact runs under both Ekklesia and a standalone host, what
the browser-side trust model is, and how module UI avoids being welded
to a Dashboard that does not exist. This answers them.

React and TypeScript are the supported module UI authoring model. The
repository already leaned this way: `packages/typescript-config` ships a
`browser.json` preset and a `react-native.json` preset with
`"jsx": "react-jsx"`, and ADR 0002 names browser and React Native
configurations. One framework is supported; every other stays rejected.

React is deliberately not part of the contract. A module's compiled
artifact default-exports `defineModuleUi({ id, version, mount })`, and
`mount(container, context)` takes a DOM element and returns an unmount
function. `id` and `version` are build-artifact identity markers a host
verifies against the manifest, mirroring `defineModuleRuntime` exactly.
A host needs an element and a context, never a matching rendering
library, so a module's framework, a host's framework, and the platform
boundary between them stay independent.

The contract lives in a new `@ekklesia/module-ui-sdk` rather than in
`@ekklesia/module-sdk`, for a concrete reason: that package re-exports
all of `@ekklesia/contracts`, so routing module UI through it would drag
Zod, Drizzle, and semver into every browser bundle. The new package has
no runtime dependencies, and its one dependency on contracts is
type-only — the emitted `host-context.js` is `export {};`, and a test
pins that so it cannot regress.

The host context is four members: `moduleId`, `api`, `principal`, and
`permissions`. Navigation, theme, module configuration, organization
context, and diagnostics are deliberately absent; each needs a design
that does not exist. Module UI reaches its backend through
`api.request(path)` with a path relative to its own API root and never
constructs `/api/v1/modules/<id>/...`, which is Ekklesia's private
deployment detail — a module that builds that URL is silently unhostable
anywhere else. One fixture artifact is mounted under two hosts with
different origins and URL shapes to prove it.

Client-side permission hints are presentation only, and both the docs
and a test say so plainly: a denied hint does not stop the module from
calling its API, because server-side `requirePermission` is the only
authority. Module UI is trusted code in the host's own browser realm —
no iframe, no sandbox — which matches the backend model rather than
overstating it, since a module's server half already holds the API's
database authority.

The boundary guard is narrowed precisely, not removed: `.tsx`, `react`,
and `react-dom` are un-denied and modules may depend on the new
`module-ui-sdk` role. `.jsx`, `.css`, every other framework,
`react-router-dom`, `react-native`, and `@vitejs/plugin-react` stay
denied, layer rules are untouched, and an unsupported framework aliased
behind an allowed name (`"react": "npm:vue@3"`) is resolved and rejected
by its real target. Fixtures prove each case, including that module UI
source still cannot import Core.

Core, apps/api, and the manifest contract are untouched. Discovery still
validates the `entrypoints.ui` path and never evaluates it; hosts
perform their own dynamic import and validate the result with
`parseModuleUiExport`. No Dashboard shell, UI runtime, navigation,
grouping, standalone host, build or styling pipeline, installer,
hot-loading, or feature module is added.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 44ba259f58 feat: establish the module product contract
CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 2m31s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 15s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 49s
Ekklesia's module model has been backend-only since ADR 0001: a module
owns domain behavior and data, and every presentation concern belongs to
a surface. That prevents a module author — the person who knows the
domain — from shipping the screen that makes their module useful, and it
guarantees a module and its own UI drift apart. It also pushes toward two
codebases for one domain the moment a module needs to run standalone.

ADR 0021 replaces that rule. A module is an independently versioned
product that owns its domain behavior, data, permissions, routes,
migrations, and its own UI, hostable inside Ekklesia and — from the same
implementation — by a later standalone host. Core keeps the containing
application shell and every platform policy: authentication,
authorization enforcement, platform context, top-level routing,
navigation, global theme, error boundaries, and trusted-origin/CORS. The
module graph stays flat: modules are peers, genuine module and capability
dependencies remain the only relationships, and Dashboard folders are
presentation configuration an administrator can reorganize, never module
architecture.

This pass implements the static contract only. `manifestVersion` moves to
4 and `entrypoints` gains one optional field, `ui`. Version 3's
`entrypoints` is strict and rejects `ui`, so this is an incompatible
shape change and version 3 is now rejected outright rather than
reinterpreted, exactly as version 1 was by version 2 and version 2 by
version 3. Every field version 4 adds is optional, so upgrading a
backend-only manifest is a one-character edit.

Discovery resolves and validates `ui` under the same rules as `server`
and `schema` — package-relative, inside the package before and after
symlink resolution, a real file, compiled ESM `.js`/`.mjs`, so source
TypeScript is rejected rather than assumed to be compiled later.
Discovery stays inert: nothing imports, evaluates, mounts, or renders a
UI entrypoint, and a test proves a throwing artifact still discovers
successfully. This follows `entrypoints.jobs`, declared and resolved
since ADR 0006 with no runtime consumer.

The name is `ui`, not `dashboard`, because a module's UI must be hostable
by Ekklesia's shell and by a standalone host, so the contract cannot be
named after one of them; and not `surface`, because `surfaces/*` is a
separate ownership layer. No widget, route, icon, folder, menu, layout,
or standalone-metadata field is added, and tests assert the manifest
still rejects every unknown entrypoint key and offers no hierarchy field.

Deliberately unchanged: `scripts/check-boundaries.ts` still enforces
`modules-do-not-own-ui`. Relaxing that guard depends entirely on the UI
authoring model a later pass chooses, and weakening a working protection
before that decision exists would trade real coverage for nothing. A
module may therefore declare `ui` today only for a framework-neutral
compiled artifact, and the docs say so rather than implying otherwise.
Restart-based discovery, explicit operator-invoked migrations, and the
trusted compiled-module model are untouched — a module that ships UI is
exactly as trusted as one that does not.

No Dashboard shell, UI runtime, renderer, framework choice, navigation
registry, grouping system, standalone host, installer, hot-loading, or
feature module is added by this pass.

CI / verify (pull_request) Successful in 27s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 12s
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 42s
The documentation still described Phase 5D as in progress, Phase 6 as
blocked, and a disposable-runner isolation proof as a prerequisite for
opening the real pull request. All five passes and the independent
whole-repository re-audit have landed, so those statements no longer
match the accepted operating model.

The README's current status now records Phase 5D as complete under the
current trusted-contributor, not-yet-deployed threat model, with Phase 6
unblocked, and gains a pass 5 closure paragraph covering the re-audit,
the repository-local supply-chain and dependency fixes, the accepted
trusted-code-only CI boundary, and what remains required before
untrusted CI or a public launch. The pass 1-4 paragraphs keep their
technical content unchanged; only their tense changes, so each reads as
what was outstanding at the close of that pass rather than as a current
claim.

`platform-architecture.md` no longer stops at pass 1 or says passes 2-5
are unfinished; it summarizes all five passes and defers the remaining
operational limitations to the security document.

`security.md` states the trusted-code-only operating rule explicitly and
replaces "CI blockers before the real pull request is opened" with
"Requirements before executing untrusted contributions", framing the five
hardening items as prerequisites for relaxing that rule rather than as
Phase 6 blockers, and naming an isolated hosted-runner service as an
accepted alternative. The Gitea 1.24.2 warnings, the scope of
`persist-credentials: false`, and the unverified runner topology and
job-token authority are preserved verbatim; no external Gitea setting is
claimed. The launch checklist is marked as gating a public launch, not
development.

Both Doctor examples are corrected to the real three-migration output,
adding `core:0002_authorization_integrity · 634294731180`. The stale
sentence calling Core authorization the next architectural phase is
refreshed.

ADRs 0017-0020 are untouched: their statements that later passes were
outstanding are historical records made when each was accepted.

Documentation only — no production code, test, workflow, dependency,
migration, or schema change.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 07a3c61083 docs: define deployment trust boundaries
One canonical security document, linked from the README, platform architecture,
and module-development guide, stating what the boundaries actually protect
against — and, more importantly, what they do not.

Installed modules are trusted compiled backend code. A module runs arbitrary
JavaScript inside the API process and shares its PostgreSQL role and pool, so
`ModuleDatabase.execute` gives it the API's full database authority over every
table, including identity, grants, owner, bootstrap, and audit. Table prefixes,
manifests, permission declarations, route validation, frozen contexts, typed
facades, and the capability registry are correctness and coordination boundaries
that assume a cooperative module; none of them constrains one that is not. There
is no process, container, syscall, filesystem, network, database-role, schema,
tenant, or resource sandbox between a module and Core, and the document says so
in those words, along with what would have to be built before untrusted modules
could be accepted.

It also records the honest deployment state: Ekklesia is not deployed. There is
no production instance, reverse proxy, public listener, or deployment automation
anywhere in this repository, and no `.env` has ever been committed. The loopback
listen default and the production signup refusal are real, but a config default
is not a firewall, so the origin-reachability, proxy-overwrite, header-spoofing,
and trusted-peer properties a public launch needs are written as a
launch-blocking checklist rather than as guarantees. The per-process
authentication limiter is described as exactly that, valid only while signup
stays disabled and exactly one instance serves traffic.

The CI section records the workflow's verified posture and deliberately stops
there: a pull request can edit `runs-on`, so a workflow file cannot be the
boundary, and the runner topology is not described as though it had been
verified.

Add a single platform-owned request-body policy (hono/body-limit) with
small, named limits for Better Auth and Core's grant-mutation endpoint, and
a new required maxBodyBytes field on the executable module route contract so
every module route makes a conscious no-body-or-bounded-body choice, capped

contract and never reaches business logic, authorization, or a handler.
Also configure finite Node header/request/keep-alive timeouts, including the

and docs/development/identity.md for the new database boundary and remaining Phase 4C staleness;
correct the stale "Phase 4C is next" roadmap paragraph in platform-architecture.md and the matching
gap in README's current-status narrative. Extend the module template with a permissioned
GET /records route reading through context.services.database, using the canonical
createModuleTable helper, with matching template tests.

Adds Core-owned identity contracts, a Core-owned Better Auth database schema
(ekklesia_core_user/session/account/verification), a first-class Core-owned
migration source that coexists with module-owned migrations under the exact
existing migration system, and an explicit Better Auth construction boundary.
No authentication endpoint or sign-in UI is exposed yet (ADR 0010).
