ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 e03d38fcab feat: give every Ekklesia screen one set of design tokens and elements
Modules have owned their own UI since ADR 0021, but the platform has never
said what that UI should look like. Every screen here — the Dashboard shell,
the display host, the module template — invented its own hex colours, font
stack, spacing, and radii, and they already disagreed. A module author had no
vocabulary for "the ordinary panel background", so the only available answer
was to invent one, and two modules would invent two.

Add `@ekklesia/design-tokens`: one validated, enumerable registry of semantic
tokens. A token declares a name, label, description, and default value; its
category and `--ekklesia-*` identifier are derived from the name, so it can
never claim one category while being named for another. Construction rejects
duplicates, malformed names, unknown categories, empty or overlong text, and
any value that is not a bounded literal — no declaration terminator, rule
block, comment, at-rule, `url(`, `!important`, escape, control character, or
markup. A registry that constructs can therefore be emitted as CSS without
escaping, because nothing needing escaping can be in it. That validation is
also what makes a future theme editor implementable rather than aspirational.

Add `@ekklesia/ui`: button, icon button, text input, select, checkbox, field
wrapper, panel, dialog, tabs, table and list primitives, badge, toast, and
empty/error/loading states — every value a token reference, with real
`:focus-visible` treatment and status that never depends on colour alone.
Deliberately small: an element earns its place when two consumers need it.

The stylesheet is a string rather than a `.css` file so the identical bytes
install into a document or an isolated artifact root, and so hover, disabled,
and focus-visible are real CSS rather than JavaScript approximations of them.

`pnpm boundaries` opens exactly two shared roles to modules, by name — every
other role stays rejected — and pins both design packages to the bottom of the
presentation stack. Both are browser-safe by construction, proven by a real
compile of module-shaped source in which `process.env` must fail to typecheck.

The shell installs the defaults at its document root for the Dashboard and the
display; custom properties inherit into module artifacts, so a module reads
`var(--ekklesia-…)` with nothing to import at run time and nothing for a host
to forget to pass.

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 / verify (pull_request) Successful in 36s
CI / infrastructure-smoke (pull_request) Successful in 13s
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 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.

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.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 800ecfdb92 fix: reject ambiguous module routes
A module can register both `GET /events/:id` and `GET /events/new`. Driven
through the pinned router, `/events/new` reached the parameter handler under
`demo.events.read` when the parameter route registered first, and the static
handler under `demo.events.create` when it registered second. Nothing rejected
the pair, so declaration order decided which permission guarded the path. That
is a permission policy, not a routing preference, and it must not be inferred
from array position.

Two routes of one module now overlap when they share a method and a segment
count and, at every position, either both segments are the same static literal
or at least one is a parameter. Under this grammar — static literals or `:name`
parameters, no wildcard, regex, optional, or catch-all — that is exactly "some
concrete request path matches both". `moduleRoutesOverlap` implements it in the
contracts package, where path semantics already live and Hono cannot reach.

Core checks it during staged registration, after the existing duplicate check,
so identical shapes (including paths differing only in parameter name) keep
returning MODULE_ROUTE_DUPLICATE and a genuine intersection returns the new
MODULE_ROUTE_OVERLAP. The rejected module publishes none of its staged routes or
capabilities, no start hook runs, and no listener binds. Rejection rather than a
specificity rule: ranking static above parameter would still silently pick which
permission applies. Disjoint routes keep their order; different methods,
different segment counts, and the same local path in two different modules
(each has its own platform-owned mount prefix) all remain legal.

The same requests also pinned down what handlers actually receive. Route
declarations are validated; route *parameters* are not, and the two are
unrelated. A single encoded segment arrives decoded as `/../admin`, `a\b`, an
embedded NUL, CR/LF, `1; drop`, or non-ASCII text — none of which any declared
path could contain. The contract now says so explicitly: decoded values are
untrusted, module-owned input that a handler must validate against its own exact
domain grammar before any database, filesystem, command, or identifier use, and
re-encoding is not a substitute. No generic validator, path-normalization layer,
or route field was added, because module parameters are module-owned domain
types and one platform-wide pattern would either reject legitimate values or
approve meaningless ones.

ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 5c589d8fec fix: enforce explicit grant invariants
Explicit-grant management could produce states an operator could not reason
about, and pushed request-shaped problems into the database.

Two identical createGrant calls produced two grants; five concurrent identical
calls produced five. Revoking one returned success while the equivalent kept
authorizing the same user — an operator could believe they had removed access
that was still live. Two issuances are now the same authorization source when
user_id, permission_id, scope, source_kind, and source_ref are all equal, with
NULL equal only to NULL; expiry, creation metadata, actor, and grant id do not
distinguish them. Creating one while an equivalent is currently effective fails
with AUTHORIZATION_GRANT_ALREADY_EXISTS (HTTP 409, no-store) naming nothing about
the grant that already exists, and writing no grant and no audit row. A revoked
or expired equivalent does not block a fresh issuance. Conflict rather than
idempotent return: the caller asked to record a new authorization with their own
actor and expiry, and answering "done" while recording neither would hide that
nothing happened.

Enforcement is database-backed, since nothing constrains the number of API
processes: every create and revoke touching one equivalence tuple takes a
transaction-scoped advisory lock keyed by a hash of that tuple, encoded as a JSON
array so NULL stays distinct from the empty string and a crafted scope cannot
forge a separator. A collision can only make unrelated tuples serialize, never
hide a conflict, because the decision is always an exact SQL predicate. Its
single-key lock space is verified disjoint from the two-key space the migration
runner and bootstrap use. A time-dependent partial unique index was rejected:
now() is not immutable and cannot be indexed.

One revocation now clears every unrevoked equivalent — including expired-but-
unrevoked legacy rows, so the history is left in one state — with one audit row
per grant actually revoked, each carrying its own id, in one transaction.
Differently scoped or sourced grants are untouched. Historical duplicates are not
silently revoked by migration; the store prevents new effective equivalents and
an operator's explicit revocation resolves the class.

The request boundary no longer leaks into PostgreSQL. GrantId accepts exactly the
canonical lowercase hyphenated UUID the database emits, with no trimming and no
case folding, so a malformed path parameter is a 400 decided after authorization
but before any store call instead of reaching the UUID comparison and returning
an indistinguishable 503; a canonical unknown id still returns 404. expiresAt
accepts exactly YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ, byte-for-byte equal to the parsed
date's own toISOString, and must be strictly future — bare new Date silently
rewrote 2026-02-31 to March 3rd and accepted locale, date-only, offset, and
millisecond-free forms, and a past expiry was stored as a grant dead on arrival.
The store validates the same thing before any SQL so trusted internal callers get
the guarantee too.

The generic HTTP surface now rejects a scope field in every form, including null.
No route middleware supplies a scope to the evaluator, so a scope accepted here
produced a grant that persisted, listed, and authorized nothing. Core's scope
semantics are unchanged for internal callers; no resolver was added.

Listing was unbounded and returned a user's entire history. It is now keyset
pagination over created_at DESC, id DESC with a strict boundary on both values,
so rows sharing a timestamp are neither skipped nor repeated, at most limit + 1
rows read, explicit-source filtering server-side on every page, and an opaque
unsigned position cursor that is strictly decoded and reveals nothing on
rejection. Core's list method requires a validated finite bound with no
unbounded fallback anywhere.

ekklesiaandClaude Sonnet 5 d3c6bd73d3 fix: enforce API request limits
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
at a platform ceiling. Every oversized request gets one sanitized 413
contract and never reaches business logic, authorization, or a handler.
Also configure finite Node header/request/keep-alive timeouts, including the
non-obvious connectionsCheckingInterval needed for them to take effect
promptly, so a slow-header or slow-body connection cannot hold a socket
indefinitely.

ekklesia 0e308eb9ad feat: define module database access
Introduce ModuleDatabase (a typed, restricted Drizzle query surface) and the frozen
ModuleRuntimeServices boundary in @ekklesia/contracts, and thread the same services object
through Core's module start/stop lifecycle hooks and apps/api's authorized module HTTP handler
context. apps/api builds the facade via a new core/src/modules/database.ts view (createModuleDatabaseView)
over the one existing shared PostgreSQL pool, alongside the identity and authorization views, and
wires it into startApi's fixed startup order ahead of Identity/Authorization construction.
Registration stays database-free; a module reaches its database only through an authorized start,
stop, or HTTP handler invocation.

ekklesiaandClaude Sonnet 5 1285c90618 docs: record module HTTP architecture
Phase 5B, pass 3: adds ADR 0015 recording the durable module HTTP
routing and production runtime lifecycle architecture pass 1 and pass
2 implemented, extending ADR 0006 and ADR 0014 without superseding
either. Adds narrow cross-reference notes to both, and to the ADR
index, pointing at ADR 0015 for the work they deferred, while
preserving their historical text and accepted status.

Corrects stale forward-looking "pass 2"/future-tense language left
over from pass 1 in core/src/modules/runtime.ts and
packages/contracts/src/module-http.ts (comment-only; production
behavior unchanged), and a shutdown-lifecycle description in
docs/development/testing.md that predated the module-runtime-stop
step pass 2 added between draining the HTTP server and closing the
pool.

Full audit against origin/main...HEAD found the architecture,
contract, startup ordering, routing, authorization/origin
enforcement, and PostgreSQL integration coverage from passes 1-2
sound; the one concrete defect found (Vary-header merge producing an
invalid "*, Origin, Cookie" combination and case-sensitive duplicate
tokens) was already fixed with focused regression tests in a separate
commit (bf76f4e), not amending either checkpoint commit.

ekklesiaandClaude Sonnet 5 e296e083ec feat: define module HTTP routes
Phase 5B, pass 1: framework-neutral module HTTP route contracts and runtime
registration. Adds @ekklesia/contracts' module-http.ts (methods, canonical
path grammar, route definition/context/handler types, and validation)
and Core's module runtime staging/publication of a module's declared
routes alongside its capabilities, gated on the module's own manifest
permissions. Routes are collected into StartedModuleRuntime as an
immutable snapshot but are not yet mounted into apps/api; that is pass 2.

ekklesia d9dd409aa3 feat: declare module permissions
Establishes the one canonical PermissionDeclaration contract
(packages/contracts/src/authorization.ts) — id/baseline/description,
strict, unknown-property-rejecting — consumed by both Core's
authorization registry and module manifests, replacing Core's
previously separate interface.

Bumps the canonical module manifest to manifestVersion 3: permissions
become complete declarations instead of bare identifier strings, with
manifest-owned namespace and duplicate-id enforcement. Version 2 and
bare string-array permissions are rejected outright; there is no
compatibility adapter.

Adds composePlatformPermissionRegistry (core/src/modules/permissions.ts),
a pure, synchronous composer that builds one platform permission
registry from Core's own declarations plus every already-discovered
module's, in deterministic order, reusing createPermissionRegistry
and rejecting any module-contributed permission in the reserved
core.* namespace. core/src/authorization remains independent of
core/src/modules; only the module integration layer depends on
authorization.

Updates the module template, module-development docs, authorization
docs, and existing manifest fixtures for manifestVersion 3. Does not
wire the combined registry into apps/api — that is pass 2.
