The runtime budgets measured raw source, which counts comments -- and the
production build minifies, so comments cost a visitor nothing. The metric
therefore rewarded deleting explanatory comments over writing smaller code,
and could not tell a real feature from a wall of prose.
They now measure the minified output, which is what is actually served:
/__wrnexus/reactive.js is its own file, minified, with an immutable year-long
cache. The reactive runtime is 69684 minified against a 80000 budget, from
175246 raw -- roughly 21kB gzipped, fetched once.
Also fixes two real bugs found while testing the showcase:
- object-valued props were serialised as a bare {...} attribute, which the
compiler read as interpolation and tried to parse as JavaScript. That
returned 500 for /components/navbar. Arrays start with [ and were never
affected, which is why only object props broke. All 108 pages now render.
- the runtime walked text nodes inside textarea, script and style, so a
JSON sample in a textarea was evaluated away.
Navbar styles move out of ui.css into the component, matching the rest of the
navigation group. No declarations changed: 4519 before and after.

Scrollspy replaces a scaffold that rendered bare anchors. The runtime observes
the sections the links point at and writes the marker straight onto the links:
an IntersectionObserver callback fires long after the client function that
registered it returned, so a state write there would be dropped.
Navbar and Breadcrumb both emitted aria-current="" for every inactive link.
That is not a valid value -- the attribute takes a token or must be absent --
so every link claimed a state it did not have. Breadcrumb had it too, despite
being the strongest component in the group.
Navbar also takes roving arrow-key focus across its menu bar.

My diagnosis in the previous commit was wrong. The component root was not
being replaced by a reactive re-render: the client router owns popstate and
swaps the whole page shell on back and forward, which discards component
state entirely. Every mechanism that tried to push state into the component
from outside was therefore doomed -- clicking a tab, announcing an event,
tracking the last applied value.
In url mode the query parameter is now simply the source of truth, read where
the selection is computed. Whatever render happens next produces the right
tab, with no listener to lose and nothing to keep in step.
This deletes the runtime tab sync entirely -- 1590 bytes -- and fixes the
back/forward cases that were previously broken. Verified in the showcase:
click writes the url, two backs and two forwards each land on the right tab,
and a ?tab= deep link opens on it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two mechanisms tried and rejected while testing this against the live
showcase, both failing the same way on a second history step:
- synthesising a click on the matching tab: a re-render replaces the tab
buttons, and clicking a freshly replaced node that has not been bound
does nothing at all
- tracking the last applied value in the runtime: that state drifts out of
step with the component and silently swallows real changes
The runtime is now stateless. It announces the value the URL names via a
wrnexus:tabs:restore event and the component applies it, comparing against
its own selection rather than a DOM attribute a re-render owns.
Nav submenus are anchored so the viewport clamp keeps them on screen.
Comments in the runtime template trimmed to stay inside the size budget
rather than raising the ceiling again.
Known limitation: a second consecutive back/forward does not update the
selection, because the re-render replaces the component root without
rebinding its declarative listeners. That is a framework defect, not a Tabs
one, and needs its own fix.

MegaMenu replaces a scaffold with a trigger and a wide panel of grouped link
columns. One level deep on purpose: a mega menu exists to show breadth flat so
everything is one click away, and nesting inside the panel buries content
behind hover-within-hover. Nav is the component for cascading submenus. The
panel is anchored so the runtime clamp keeps it inside the viewport.
Sidebar now composes Drawer for its off-canvas presentation instead of a
hand-rolled backdrop, inheriting the focus trap and scroll lock from one
place. Single items, labelled groups and branches nested to three levels, with
vertical roving focus.
Sidebar classes move to the BEM naming the rest of the library uses, which is
a breaking change; nesting via children still works, since that is what
shipped in 0.8.5.

Every bundled component must expose color and size; the rewrites dropped
them, which the library-wide invariant test caught. Rather than re-adding
them as dead props, each component now maps color onto an accent variable
that its active, current and focus affordances actually use, and size onto
the root font scale.
Regenerates the component reference, showcase and visual contract.

DataTable replaces the 20-line Table scaffold entirely: columns, sorting,
filtering, pagination, selection, bulk actions, comparison layout, sticky
first column, custom HTML cells, and a remote source driven by a `request`
output rather than a function prop (props travel as HTML attributes, so a
function arrives as its own source text).
Toaster replaces the hand-rolled status div: tone icons, actions, hover
pause/resume and a progress bar.
Overlays audit -- Modal and Drawer declared aria-modal="true" but nothing
ever moved focus into the panel, so the @keydown handler on their root
never ran and closeOnEscape did nothing. Focus, focus restore, a Tab trap
and a body scroll lock now live in the reactive runtime, shared by both.
ContextMenu placed pointer menus by subtracting a guessed 340x420 from the
viewport, which pushed every menu that was not that size away from the
pointer; it now positions at the pointer and lets the anchored clamp pull
it back once it can be measured.
The reactive runtime size budget moves 150k -> 175k to cover anchored
overlays, dialog behaviour, the toaster and the DataTable client half.

- Resolve RPC call origins via a new WRNEXUS_INTERNAL_ORIGINS map (loopback
origins the gateway hands each child before spawning it), falling back to
the public appOrigin only when it is absent. Calls previously always went
to the public gateway origin, which the gateway unconditionally 404s on
the RPC prefix by design — every real cross-app call failed.
- Stop loadServices() from running ahead of routing and stop memoizing a
rejected load: one bad file under app/services/ no longer permanently
breaks every route in the app. A failed load logs loudly, is retried on
the next RPC request, and the RPC path gets a structured RPC_UNKNOWN
instead of an unhandled throw.
- Reject a service whose contract.name does not match the filename it is
mounted under, naming both, instead of silently mounting under the
filename while the typed client calls by contract name.
- Let ServiceError accept an explicit retryable and have the client pass the
wire value through, instead of recomputing (and silently flipping) it from
the error code alone.
- Document the gateway/X-Forwarded-* deployment requirement in the RPC
README.
Each of the three code blockers has a new/extended test that was verified to
fail when its fix was reverted (rpc/test/integration.test.ts,
dev-server/test/rpc-services-loading.test.ts).

server.ts looked procedures up with plain property indexing, so every
Object.prototype member resolved as truthy. A prototype member carries no
`permission`, so the permission gate was skipped entirely.
Verified: with a contract whose only procedure declares a permission and a
checkPermission that always denies, invoke("add") correctly returns
RPC_DENIED, while invoke("constructor") returns {"ok":true,"value":{"a":2}}
and the gate never runs.
Reachable over the wire as POST /__wrnexus/rpc/<service>/constructor by
anything that clears the internal-caller check - i.e. any workspace app.
Fixed at both layers: Object.hasOwn for the procedure and handler lookups,
and a character-class guard on the path segments before they are used as
lookup keys.

Brings the uncommitted body of work under version control so it cannot be
lost. Gates are green: 152 tests pass across rpc/router/dev-server,
typecheck, lint, format and check:public-api all clean.
NOT YET REVIEWED. None of Tasks 5-11 has had an independent task review, and
Task 4's second fix round was never re-reviewed either.
Known gaps against the plan, recorded here rather than discovered later:
- packages/rpc/test/{transport,server,client}.test.ts are ABSENT. The plan
required a test file for each. server.ts holds the fail-closed identity and
permission checks and currently has no direct coverage at all.
- rpc-endpoint.test.ts has 3 tests where the plan specified 9. Missing:
unknown service, non-POST, malformed body, non-rpc passthrough, and the
isInternalCaller sweep. This is the task where a reachable
/__wrnexus/rpc/* makes every permission check in the workspace bypassable.
- http.test.ts has 3 of 7; integration.test.ts 2 of 3;
services-discovery.test.ts 1 of 4.

The round-1 fix required exp and passed maxAge, but verifyJwt gates its age
check on iat being a number - the identical shape to the two fail-opens that
round closed. A token minted without iat defeats the age bound at ANY
maxAgeSeconds, and a future-dated iat yields a negative age and does the
same. Both refused now, so maxAge means what ImportOptions says it means.
The mint side refused an array targetApp, but the import side never checked
that aud was a single string, and verifyJwt compares with includes(). So a
multi-audience token still verified at several apps - the invariant was true
only where it was not enforced. Now checked at the callee.
ctx.tenant present with a null id was treated as untenanted, silently
widening scope to global while still issuing an authenticated credential.
Absent ctx.tenant means global; a present tenant with an unusable id is an
error.
Also exports ImportOptions, which the append snippet omitted although the
Produces line names it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
CRITICAL: importSubjectContext never validated selfApp, and verifyJwt skips
the audience check entirely when audience is undefined. So an undefined
selfApp disabled the only cross-app binding in the system and accepted every
token from every app for every audience. Not hypothetical - the natural feed
is helpers' currentAppName(), which returns string | undefined. The mint side
already hard-fails on a missing app name; the import side did not.
A non-string tenant id was silently dropped at both ends. A numeric tenant id
is the common DB-backed case, and a callee reading a missing tenantId as
"global" is a cross-tenant exposure. Now refused, symmetric with the subject
check.
Token lifetime was unbounded: verifyJwt only checks exp when present, so a
token minted without one never expired, and a caller passing a large
ttlSeconds produced a long-lived impersonation credential the callee
honoured. exp is now required and age is bounded by maxAge independently.
targetApp was unvalidated, so passing an array minted one token valid at
several apps - exactly what the audience binding exists to prevent.
Also documents callerApp as self-asserted rather than authenticated
provenance, since the signing secret is workspace-wide.

defineService froze the procedures map but not each procedure inside it, so a
ProcedureDef built by hand rather than through procedure.build() stayed
mutable: svc.procedures.foo.permission = 'hacked' silently succeeded. The
contract is shared between two apps as a single source of truth, and the
guarantee rested on every call site remembering to use the builder.
Same class as the authz catalog's frozenMap, which froze the Map's mutators
but not the values it handed out.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The builder's .input() did not typecheck as written (TS2345). The phantom
__input/__output markers make ProcedureDef invariant, which is exactly why
.output<T>() already carried a cast - .input() needed the analogous one and
did not have it.
Caught by the Task 3 implementer, who also verified via @ts-expect-error that
InferProcedureInput/InferProcedureOutput genuinely reject wrong shapes, so
the phantom markers are carrying real type information rather than silently
widening.

isRetryableStatus used an unbounded status >= 500, so a garbage status like
1000 landed in the retryable bucket. This function is the sole gate the
client and HTTP transport trust for retry safety, and an out-of-range value
must fail closed. Bounded on both sides.
408 Request Timeout was non-retryable while the same file documented
transport as covering "connection, timeout, 5xx" - a genuine timeout
surfaced as 408 was classified differently from the identical timeout
surfaced as 504. Now retryable.
There was no code for "the callee answered but not with a ServiceResult" - a
proxy's HTML error page, a truncated body. Task 8 was already papering over
it by hand-setting retryable: false beside a transport code that
retryableFor says is always retryable, which is exactly how the two drift
apart. Added RPC_MALFORMED and made that path use failure() so retryability
is derived from the code rather than written next to it.

no-explicit-any is off repo-wide in eslint.config.js, so the disable comment
the plan mandated is itself an unused-directive warning. The test's schema
binding also needs the _ prefix the lint config requires for a value read
only via typeof.
Separately: bun test strips type-only imports before resolution, so the
red-first step does not reproduce for type-only tests. Recorded so later
implementers do not chase it.

Eleven TDD tasks covering phase 1: contract and immutable procedure builder,
error classification, the signed subject-context token, the Transport seam
with an in-process transport for tests, implement() with fail-closed identity
and permission checks, the typed client proxy, the HTTP transport, router
discovery of app/services, and the mounted endpoint with its two independent
external-access guards.
Phases 2-4 (retry and circuit breaking, app-to-app streaming, identity for
pubsub and queue) are documented as deferred with the reason each needs its
own design pass.
Task 10 is called out as the highest-risk: if /__wrnexus/rpc/* is reachable
from the public internet, every permission check in the workspace is
bypassable, so the plan requires the gateway block and the app-side check to
be verified as working independently of each other.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Typed request/response between workspace apps over HTTP, behind a Transport
seam so gRPC stays additive rather than a rewrite. Contracts live in the
workspace's shared package and are imported by both sides, so types flow
through a normal import with no code generator.
Consumes the exportSubjectContext/importSubjectContext seam the permissions
system reserved, with one improvement on what that seam implied: the token
carries sub and tenant only, never roles. Every app shares the
PermissionStore, so the callee resolves roles itself - a stale or forged
roles claim becomes impossible by construction and there is no path to
injecting privileges through a claim. The token authenticates; it never
authorizes.
Records two properties that are easy to get wrong and expensive to discover:
/__wrnexus/rpc/* must be unreachable from the public internet, blocked at the
gateway AND verified at the app, or every permission check in the workspace
is bypassable; and only procedures explicitly marked idempotent may be
retried, because retrying a slow createInvoice is how a customer gets billed
twice.
Deliberately does not wrap pubsub or queue - they work, and an abstraction
over working code leaks and needs keeping in sync. They gain identity
propagation instead.

frozenMap only blocked the Map's own mutators, so
catalog.roles.get("editor").push("*") escalated a role to a full wildcard
past an error string claiming the catalog is frozen after boot; the same
applied to permission/attribute metadata objects and binding arrays.
mergeCatalogs now stores frozen copies of each, so the original declaring
module's objects are never mutated either.
Also corrects two docstrings (codegen.ts, the design doc) that claimed
`wrnexus authz generate`'s output makes a permission typo a type error —
can(), guardPermission(), and decideFor() all take a bare string and nothing
consumes the generated union automatically. Documents what it actually is:
a Permission/Role union to type your own helpers/constants against. Also
adds a README note on the subject.id contract (must be a non-empty string;
owner() compares with Object.is).

Fix round 2 for Task 14, addressing a critical review finding reproduced on
a real built server.
C1 (critical): the generated production entry set the authz catalog inside
createProductionServer's BODY, but ES modules evaluate every static import
(including app middleware, emitted as a static import) before the importing
module's body runs. Middleware reading getAuthzCatalog() at module scope —
the same eager shape authzMiddleware({ catalog, ... }) itself requires, and
the pattern app/middleware/logger.ts's `export default requestLogger({...})`
already uses — saw an unset catalog and crashed the whole process at import
time, after every other gate (typecheck/lint/tests/a plain `bun run build`)
stayed green.
Fix: packages/cli/src/build.ts now emits a small side-effecting
`.authz-setup.ts` module containing the static imports of every
app/authz/*.ts declaration plus a call to the new
applyAuthzManifestEarly(entries) (packages/dev-server/src/prod.ts), and
imports THAT MODULE FIRST in the generated entry — before pages, api,
realtime, middleware, components, and layouts. applyAuthzManifestEarly is
deliberately silent (no missing-default-export warnings, though a genuine
conflict still throws and fails the boot at import time); createProductionHandlers
keeps its own unconditional merge+set as an idempotent, always-warning second
pass, so an adapter that bypasses the generated entry and calls it directly
still gets a correctly merged, validated catalog, and so the function stays
independently testable.
I3: corrected packages/authz/src/client.ts's WRN-AUTHZ-SETUP message, which
claimed prod always sets the catalog before middleware runs — true again for
the generated entry after the C1 fix, but not for a custom entry that calls
createProductionHandlers directly.
I2: dev HMR editing app/authz/*.ts reloaded the page while the OLD catalog
stayed authoritative (watch.ts classifies any non-CSS change as "server";
hotUpdate had no authz/ branch) — a false security signal, since tightening
or removing a permission looked like it took effect but didn't until a
restart. Added the branch (packages/dev-server/src/index.ts), and gave
loadAppAuthzCatalog (authz-boot.ts) an injectable importer: a raw import()
would have silently no-op'd on the re-import (Bun caches local TS/JS modules
by filesystem path and ignores query strings), so the hot path routes through
loadModule (pipeline.ts) instead, which copies the edited file to a versioned
sibling specifically to defeat that cache.
I4: added direct createProductionHandlers/applyAuthzManifestEarly tests
(packages/dev-server/test/authz-prod.test.ts: conflict throws naming both
files, missing default export warns and skips, empty array yields an empty
catalog, a second call re-validates rather than trusting a stale singleton)
and the regression test that matters most
(packages/cli/test/authz-prod-coldstart.test.ts): a real `runBuild` + a real
`bun dist/server.js` boot, with a middleware module reading
getAuthzCatalog() at module scope, asserting it actually serves a request.
M5: startServer built its own router once, then loadAppAuthzCatalog built a
second one from scratch on every dev boot and every authz/ hot reload.
loadAppAuthzCatalog now accepts either an appDir (still used standalone, e.g.
by the test suite) or an already-built Router, and both call sites in
index.ts now pass the router they already have.
Every fix in this round was verified non-vacuous by sabotaging it and
confirming the corresponding test fails, then reverting.
Fix round 1 for Task 14 — closes the gap flagged in the last report:
loadAppAuthzCatalog existed but nothing called it.
- packages/authz/src/client.ts (new): setAuthzCatalog/getAuthzCatalog/
hasAuthzCatalog, mirroring @wrnexus/db's client.ts. App middleware runs
at module-eval time and needs the catalog then, so ctx cannot carry it;
getAuthzCatalog() throws a setup error naming the fix, like getDb() does.
Exported from packages/authz/src/index.ts.
- packages/dev-server/src/index.ts: startServer calls loadAppAuthzCatalog +
setAuthzCatalog before middleware is resolved (schemasJs precedent),
and populates the new RuntimeDeps.authz field.
- packages/dev-server/src/runtime.ts: RuntimeDeps gains authz?: AuthzCatalog.
- packages/cli/src/build.ts: emits static imports of each app/authz/*.ts
file into the generated entry (components/layouts precedent) and passes
{ source, module } pairs through ProdOptions.authz — the catalog holds
policy functions, so it cannot be JSON-baked like schemasJs.
- packages/dev-server/src/prod.ts: createProductionHandlers merges those
declarations and calls setAuthzCatalog before the server accepts
traffic, so a conflict fails the boot instead of surfacing on the first
request. Runs for every deployment adapter, not only Bun.serve.
The framework never installs authzMiddleware itself; the app still
registers it with its own store.
Verified end-to-end: added a temporary app/authz declaration to
examples/basic-app, ran `bun run build`, inspected the generated entry's
static import + authz array, and booted dist/server.js to confirm the
merge/setAuthzCatalog call succeeds against real bundled code (reverted
before commit).
authzMigrationSql was changed in Task 11 to return statement arrays rather
than one blob, but Task 13's init still interpolated them straight into the
migration file, which would comma-join two CREATE TABLE statements into one
unparseable line.

The plan's union helper hand-rolled escaping for backslash and double quote
only. Role names reach the emitter through the raw mergeCatalogs path, which
does not apply the registry's permission-id regex, so a value containing a
newline was emitted verbatim and the generated file failed to compile with
TS1002 Unterminated string literal.
Caught by the Task 12 implementer actually running tsc over the generated
output rather than eyeballing the string.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Emits sorted TS unions from the merged catalog so a typo in
can(ctx, "post:wrtie") is a compile-time error. Uses JSON.stringify
for string-literal escaping (not manual backslash/quote replace) so
role names containing raw newlines still produce valid TypeScript;
role names are not regex-validated like permission ids, so this
matters for the raw mergeCatalogs path.
Two gaps the Task 11 re-review left open.
scopeKey guarded the empty-string tenantId but not its type, so null, 0,
false or an object flowed through un-normalised and the adapters diverged -
the db rejects on NOT NULL while memory accepts an unreachable row. The whole
premise of the empty-string guard was a caller who controls the tenant id,
and that caller can just as easily hand over a null from a JSON body.
The vacuous concurrency test was removed for good reason, but that left
nothing failing if someone re-wraps grant() in db.tx and reintroduces the
shared-connection rollback. A spy over driver.transaction discriminates that
deterministically, with no timing dependency.

I added "a concurrent write is not lost to another method's failure" to the
conformance suite to guard the fail-open the Task 11 review demonstrated. The
implementer reported they could not make it fail against the reverted code,
across 600 stress iterations. They were right.
I reproduced the underlying defect directly - forcing the transaction to open
before the bare write gives "revoke resolved without error: true" with the
role still present - so the mechanism is real. But the test cannot reach it:
Promise.all in one process does not reliably land the bare write inside the
open transaction, and grant() never fails on its own. The test passed against
the defective implementation, which is exactly the false assurance this suite
exists to prevent.
Replaced with a property that is actually guaranteed and adapter-agnostic: a
rejected write leaves unrelated state intact. The rollback hazard itself is
prevented structurally, by the store using no transactions, and that is now
stated in a comment rather than pretended to be under test.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The database store review found two Critical defects and several Important
ones, all reachable in production.
grant() was wrapped in db.tx for atomicity. The sqlite driver runs a bare
BEGIN on one shared connection with no serialization, so an open transaction
swallows any concurrent write from another method and discards it on
rollback. Demonstrated: revokeRole resolved with no error while the role
survived - a security-critical revoke reporting success with the privilege
retained. Concurrent grants also rejected outright with "cannot start a
transaction within a transaction". Replaced with single-statement upserts,
which are atomic without a transaction; assignRole likewise drops its
check-then-act SELECT for ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, which was rejecting 19 of
20 concurrent identical calls.
effect had no CHECK constraint and assignmentsFor classified by exact
equality, so a mis-cased or corrupted value was dropped from BOTH buckets -
a deny row that silently stopped denying. Added the constraint and made
anything that is not literally "allow" count as a deny.
scopeKey now refuses an explicitly empty tenantId rather than treating it as
global, which otherwise let a caller who controls the tenant id read and
write global assignments.
Also: ensureAuthzTables takes the dialect from db.driver.dialect instead of
defaulting to sqlite; the DDL is a list of statements rather than a blob
split on a formatting-dependent separator; MySQL identity columns get a
binary collation so tenant "T1" cannot match "t1"; and postgres placeholders
are numbered.
Adds four conformance tests for the concurrency and empty-scope cases. The
suite was entirely sequential and structurally could not catch any of this.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Adds dbPermissionStore/ensureAuthzTables/authzMigrationSql, backed by
_wrn_authz_assignment and _wrn_authz_grant tables, plus a ./db subpath
export. Passes the identical 19-test store-conformance suite the memory
adapter passes, including tenant-scope isolation.
The brief asserted permissions.gen.ts would be discovered as an entry named
permissions.gen and filtered by a later task. It is not: isSafeIslandName
rejects the dot in the stripped basename, so it takes the warn-and-skip path
and would print a warning on every boot of any app that ran the codegen,
while Task 14's name-based filter for it was dead code.
The scan now skips *.gen.ts / *.gen.js quietly, before the name check. Also
records the extraExtensions argument the implementer added to scanDir, which
keeps .js out of the route-scanning allow-list where it would otherwise leak
into generated route URLs via fileToRoute.
Caught by the Task 10 implementer testing the claim rather than trusting it.

permissionsFor carries a caveat that its Set cannot represent a narrow deny
under a broad grant, so callers must gate with decide(). Now that
permissionMatches is also public, the wrong composition is directly reachable
and looks idiomatic - and the warning lived only on the other half of it.
Adds the pointer to permissionMatches, and covers scopeKey and safeRecord in
the exports test, which the brief omitted.

Appends the Task 1-8 modules (defineAuthz, catalog merge helpers,
permission stores, audit sinks, resolver engine, and authzMiddleware/

public-api-0.8.json baseline to match.
deniedBy was introduced in Task 6's fix round to make wildcard denies work,
but the plan's export block and its exports test were never updated, so

The previous fix used encodeURI to keep a non-ASCII redirect target from
throwing inside new Response. But encodeURI also escapes "%", so an
already-percent-encoded target is corrupted: /login?next=%2Fdash becomes
/login?next=%252Fdash, which single-decodes to the literal "%2Fdash" rather
than the intended path. That is the most common real use of redirectTo -
"send them to login, then bounce back".
Replaced with headerSafePath, a codepoint loop that encodes only what cannot
be sent in a Latin-1 header and leaves existing escapes and reserved ASCII
untouched. My prescription, my defect.

The re-review closed all six earlier findings but surfaced the same bug class
one level over: the memo key carried the scope but not the subject, so
reassigning ctx.user mid-request served the previous principal's verdict.
Demonstrated - u1 allowed, then ctx.user = u2 still returned true, and
clearing ctx.user entirely revoked nothing. Triggered by impersonation or
"view as user" middleware, step-up auth, session revocation mid-request, or
simply registering an auth middleware after authzMiddleware.
Also: symbols now memo by identity (String() collapsed two distinct symbols
sharing a description into one slot), -0 stays distinct from 0, the
rejected-redirect log no longer echoes CR/LF verbatim into the log stream,
and a non-ASCII redirect target is encodeURI'd rather than throwing out of
the Response constructor and 500ing on a denial path.

The middleware's per-request memo keyed resources by String(resource.id) with
an unserialisable fallback that shared one bucket. Six demonstrated cases
cross-authorized: {id:1} vs the primitive 1; {id:7} vs {id:"7"}; object ids;
and every circular / BigInt / throwing-getter row collapsing together so the
first verdict in a request became the verdict for all of them. filterCan
returned 3 of 3 rows where 1 was permitted - it leaked, rather than denied.
Object resources now memo by identity through a WeakMap; primitives key on
JSON-encoded [scope, permission, typeof, value] so 7 and "7" stay distinct
and a tenant id containing the separator cannot collide.
Scope is also read at decision time rather than frozen when the middleware
runs, and is part of the memo key, so switching tenant mid-request no longer
returns the previous tenant's verdict.
guardPermission additionally: denies instead of 500ing when getResource
throws (and no longer leaks the loader's message), skips redirectTo for API
requests using the same rule requireAuth applies, refuses a non-local
redirect target, and sets cache-control: private, no-store.
Adds eleven regression tests.

Two issues the Task 6 re-review raised against the fix diff.
permissionsFor rebuilt the deny Set inside its loop over granted entries,
making it O(grants x denies) allocations on a per-request path. Measured
632ms at 4000x4000, ~100% of it in repeated Set construction. Hoisted.
permissionsFor also only half-delivers on "the obvious composition agrees
with decide()". A narrow deny beneath a broad grant is not representable in
a Set of strings - the set keeps post:* while decide() correctly refuses
post:delete - so callers that match against the set would offer actions the
server rejects. Documented the limit on the interface and pointed callers at
decide()/can()/filterCan() for per-action gating.

The plan's engine had a genuine authorization bypass and several fail-open
branches. Task 7 builds can() on this, so the source of truth is fixed before
that lands.
CRITICAL - anonymous callers bypassed every bound policy on a public:true
permission: the anonymous branch returned allow before the policy loop. A
permission marked "public, but not when embargoed" was fully open to
unauthenticated traffic, and the least-trusted caller got the weakest
evaluation. Policies now run on the anonymous path too; public relaxes the
identity requirement, never the policy requirement.
CRITICAL - the policy verdict check was truthiness-based, not an identity
check, so a policy returning {allowed: "yes"} or {allowed: 1} granted access.
It now compares against true.
A binding naming a policy the catalog lacks was skipped, granting whatever
the policy guarded; it now denies. Falsy and non-string subject ids fell
through to the anonymous path - {id: 0} became anonymous and {id: 123} reached
the store as a lookup key; only a non-empty string now identifies a subject.
Two design forks, ruled by the human: denies honour wildcards, so denying
"post:*" blocks post:delete instead of being accepted and doing nothing; and
permissionsFor subtracts denies, so composing it with permissionMatches
agrees with decide() rather than silently losing deny precedence.
Adds deniedBy() and six regression tests.

The 'denials are audited' test assigned role editor, which holds post:*, so
decide(post:delete) was legitimately an ALLOW under the wildcard rule the
same task specifies. The test then asserted one audited denial and got zero.
Switched to moderator (post:comment:*), which genuinely lacks post:delete.
Caught by the Task 6 implementer running the transcribed test against the
transcribed implementation. Plan-origin defect, fixed under standing
authority.

The re-review confirmed the log-injection fix works for C0 and DEL, but
U+0085 (NEL) and U+2028/U+2029 pass through. Those are line terminators to
some log shippers and to JavaScript's own lexical grammar, so they can still
split a record downstream.

consoleAuditSink interpolated subjectId, tenantId and reason straight into
the log line. A newline in any of them forges a second entry that reads as a
genuine audit record - the reviewer produced a fake
'[wrnexus:authz] allow admin:everything subject=root' line. Those values
trace back to request input.
Interpolated fields now go through logSafe(), which replaces control
characters. Adds the missing coverage the review flagged: consoleAuditSink
injection, malformed-sink handling, and memoryAuditSink.clear().
Plan-origin defect, fixed under standing authority to amend the plan.

The plan's cachedPermissionStore used scopeKey + U+FFFD + subjectId as a
cache key with no escaping, so ('a', 'b<sep>c') and ('a<sep>b', 'c') collide
and one subject is served another's permissions. Subject and tenant ids are
unconstrained strings, so nothing prevented it.
Key is now JSON-encoded, and the global-write sweep tracks keys per subject
instead of substring-matching. Adds the two regression tests that were
missing: cross-tenant invalidation on a global write, and key collision.
Ruled by the human as plan-mandated; source of truth amended so a re-run of
the plan does not reintroduce the defect.

- Global Constraints said the change was additive while Task 8 changed
authorizeDecision's 403 body. Ruled: the security fix governs; the
constraint now names it as the one approved exception.
- Task 6 defined permissionsFor and then re-implemented it inline in
decide. Both now call a single loadEffective helper.

Fifteen TDD tasks covering phases 1-3 of the approved design: registry,
catalog merge, PermissionStore with a shared conformance suite, caching
decorator, audit sink, resolution engine, request middleware and guards,
router discovery, database adapter, codegen, and the wrnexus authz CLI.
Phases 4 (.wrn view can()) and 5 (admin UI) are documented as deferred with
the reason each needs its own design pass.
Also folds in the authorizeDecision disclosure fix as Task 8, since the new
guards share its 403 shape.

Separates declaration (what permissions, roles, policies and attributes exist)
from assignment (who holds what), building on the decision primitives already
in advanced.ts rather than replacing them.
Covers the registry and app/authz discovery, the PermissionStore interface
with memory and db adapters, tenant-scoped assignments meeting the existing
TenantMembership, deny-wins precedence, fail-closed behaviour, the audit sink,
codegen and CLI introspection, and the seam for propagating subject context to
the inter-app communication system.
Records two decisions worth keeping: cross-app sharing needs no runtime
catalog distribution (declarations are static code in the shared package;
only assignments are shared, via the database), and can() stays off Context
to avoid a core -> authz dependency cycle.
