Adds ADR 0014 recording the durable architecture Phase 5A established
across both passes: the shared contracts-layer PermissionDeclaration,
manifest version 3 replacing version 2's bare permission strings, the
reserved core.* namespace and the structural guarantee that a
module-vs-Core collision always surfaces as
ModulePermissionCompositionError rather than the generic
PermissionRegistryError duplicate path, deterministic registry
composition, startup ordering, repository-root/package-version
resolution, registry injection into apps/api's enforcement and
explicit-grant HTTP API, the static-snapshot/historical-record
preservation guarantees, and Doctor/modules:validate integration.
Indexes it in the ADR README, cross-references it from ADR 0006 (only
its manifestVersion 2 / permission-string decision is superseded; the
rest of ADR 0006 remains accepted, and its historical text is left
untouched) and ADR 0013 (module permission registration, deferred
there, is what ADR 0014 implements), and links it from the relevant
development documentation.
Corrects two comments discovered during a direct source audit that
overstated where a module-vs-Core permission collision is actually
caught (core/src/modules/permissions.ts,
apps/api/src/platform-permissions.ts) — comment-only, no behavior
change, already covered by existing tests. Also corrects a
documentation claim in docs/development/authorization.md that
incorrectly implied removing a module blocks explicit revocation of
its historical grants; grants-routes.ts's revoke handler never
consults the permission registry, so revocation remains unaffected.
Wires composePlatformPermissionRegistry into apps/api's production
startup: startApi() discovers every installed module, composes the one
immutable platform permission registry (Core's own declarations plus
every module's), and only then constructs the shared PostgreSQL pool,
Better Auth, and the HTTP server. A discovery or composition failure —
an invalid manifest, a reserved core.* namespace claim, or a duplicate
declaration — propagates before anything exists to close; there is no
Core-only registry fallback. apps/api/src/platform-permissions.ts
resolves the repository root from its own file location, never
process.cwd(), so package-scoped test runs discover the right modules/
directory.
createApiApp/createGrantsRoutes now require the composed registry as
an injected authorization option, replacing the previous hard-coded
CORE_PERMISSION_REGISTRY; requirePermission continues to work
identically for Core-owned and module-owned permissions, since it has
no concept of the distinction.
Extends pnpm doctor with a modules.permissions check (reusing the
already-discovered module list, distinguishing reserved-namespace from
generic-duplicate failures, never re-discovering modules) and pnpm
modules:validate to compose the same registry before a module is
considered installable.
Adds focused coverage: startup-ordering and failure-isolation tests in
apps/api/tests/lifecycle.test.ts, module-owned-declaration enforcement
tests in apps/api/tests/authorization-middleware.test.ts, Doctor
composition tests in core/tests/doctor.test.ts, and a live PostgreSQL
end-to-end scenario proving a real installed module's permission is
discoverable, grantable, and deniable once the module is absent again
after a restart, without ever executing its server entrypoint.
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.
