Five things a building authority needed and portal could not say,
found by building one and replaying its cases through the engine.
The one that mattered: a submitter could only ever act on a record
nobody had touched. `access.rs` pinned a self_transition's from-state
to `open`, though the runtime had always passed the real state and
asked. So the applicant written to for a missing drawing could not
send it, and nobody could withdraw once anything had happened.
`self_transition` now takes `from: [state, ...]` and compiles one rule
per state; omitted it still means the initial state alone, which is
what every unsubscribe link already meant.
Then the four beside it. A record can belong to another record
(`type: record`, `of:`), with `where: { field, equals }` on a listing
as the other half, so an application's page lists the objections that
name it. A public view can be narrowed to the states worth showing,
so a register that is public by law is public about what was decided
and not about what was withdrawn. A state can grant a group, so an
approval that means membership needs no second step. And a state can
be moved by a clock (`after: { days, to }`, src/deadlines.rs) - held
to the same declared edge as a desk button, firing the same mail,
publishing the same event.
Also: the README is a README again, and everything that was crowding
it is in docs/ - architecture, content reference, state machines,
access, operations.

Who may do what to what was five checks in five files: `qualifies` on
a page, `requires_group`/`public` on a resource, a desk's transition
allow-list, a self_transition's email check, the automation token.
They are now compiled from content on every load into one Cedar
policy set (src/access.rs), and every server entry point asks it: open
and submit a page, read a resource, move a record, fire a self
transition, read a bucket as the automation service, extend an
invite. Each decision names the rules that granted it; refusals and
every mutation are published on portal.access.decided, and
portal.access.<site>.may answers the same question for other apps
over request-reply (proven live against uhhm's content). The policy
validates against a fixed schema, so a content shape the compiler
cannot express fails instead of granting nothing. Identity is still
Kanidm's; the browser keeps is_qualified as a rendering hint only.
`invite: {group}` on an alternative of a gated page onboards a person:
src/people.rs creates the account, records the email, adds the group
and mints a one-time credential link through Kanidm's REST API with a
service-account token (KANIDM_API_TOKEN, in idm_people_on_boarding).
The result is recorded with the answer into the runtime's
portal_invites bucket and announced on portal.people.invited. Validated:
an invite needs a gated page and required name and email fields.

iris is versioned as portal. On a tag push this job clones uhhm/iris,
re-pins its portal dependency to the tag, sets its version to match,
builds and tests it, writes the changelog line, and pushes the commit
and tag - which iris's own CI publishes. The tarball ships the binary
just built. A portal change to something the lint reads fails the
release at this step. Needs the IRIS_PUSH_USER variable and
IRIS_PUSH_TOKEN secret on this repo.

question_lint, needs_replay, the needs module and the local-checkout
loaders now live in uhhm/iris, which depends on this crate as a
library pinned to a release tag. The tarball ships the matching iris
binary (IRIS_RELEASE in publish.yml) in place of question_lint, so a
site that pins nothing extra keeps a lint at current/iris. Portal
loses about 1,100 lines and keeps only what runs at request time.

The 0.3.34 rule listed every followup "further down" from the current
page, so the front door offered the thank-you pages before anything
was submitted, and a followup one typed in offered the ones beyond
it. The chain half was weaker than it looked too: it matched the
question the chain answered, which is a front door anyway.
Now a followup is offered only when the visitor has earned it: their
verified chain answered the alternative that leads there (the chain
index records the alternative from here on; older nodes fall back to
every recording alternative of the answered question, and nothing
beyond it), or it hangs off an earned page by a link that records
nothing. A page behind an answer they have not given is never offered.
The walk ends at any front door, so "back to the start" never fans out.

Forty releases carried only a version bump in their commit, so what
changed lived in the commits between them and in the content repos'
pin bumps. The changelog is reconstructed from that history, newest
first, with an Unreleased section on top and a table of which version
each of the four sites runs. The publish workflow now posts the tag's
section as the Gitea release notes, and the README says to move the
Unreleased lines under a version heading before cutting.

A content repo may now state what the business needs the site to do,
apart from how the pages word it. question_lint checks each need
against the pages and aggregates.yaml:
- a path of submissions gets the answer into `lands_in`, within
`max_steps` and a required-field budget (`max_fields`);
- `handled_by` holds a desk over that bucket;
- every `done_when` state is reachable through the moves that desk
(or a self_transition) offers, and no record strands on the way;
- a disabled alternative is named as the reason when it is one;
- `planned: true` reports the gap as a warning instead of failing.
Personas - visitors in their own words - become typed `choice` tasks
(the page's question, its alternatives as the options) written as
JSONL by `--needs-tasks` (`--skim`: headings only). Any external
answering engine returns `{id, choice, confidence}` lines, graded by
`--needs-score [--min-accuracy]`: a misroute is a wording defect. The
engine stays outside this crate on purpose so classifiers and LLMs
can be compared on the same tasks. The runtime never reads the file.

`list_qualifying_questions` reduced the visitor's `?chain=` to a
bool, so one followup path unlocked every followup on the site -
redoal's `/watching` (an email-link page whose header says "never in
the nav") showed up for anyone who had just subscribed.
The nav now resolves the chain hash to the one question it verifiably
answered (the same `lookup_node` a `requires_chain` gate uses) and
offers a followup only when it is on that path or further down from
the current page over `action` edges. `content::outcomes_reachable_from`
walks those edges through followup pages only, so a "back to the
start" action ends the walk at the front door instead of fanning out.
Templated actions (`/shape/{curve.key}`) resolve to their dynamic
page's pattern. No schema change: the `followup` flag keeps meaning
"not a front door", and the edges were already in the content.
Also: `main.loading`/`main.not-found` gets the same `svh` ladder as
`.hero-piece`, the last bare `vh` in the stylesheet, so wrapper
browsers that resize the webview as their toolbar animates don't
reflow the placeholder.

A question may carry event: {starts, duration, place}. While the
window is open the page is announced in a strip at the top of every
header (name, when, 'in 3 days'), soonest first, and kept out of the
footer nav; when it closes the page becomes a followup - only a
visitor carrying an answer chain still sees it.
announce.rs keeps one record per event page in the runtime-owned
portal_events bucket (built-in state graph: announced ->
awaiting_summary -> summarized, content may override) and, on a
one-minute idempotent sweep, moves ended windows to awaiting_summary,
publishing the transition on portal.answers.submitted as 'Summary
due' - the post-what-happened task a review desk picks up. Lint
warns when event pages exist but nothing reads portal_events.

site.yaml's hero is now plain | module, where module names a
JavaScript file the content repo ships (mount(container) -> handle
with stop()). Portal serves content assets same-origin at
/site/<path> (Gitea raw sends no CORS headers), starts the module at
HTML parse time, adopts it on hydration, mounts fresh via the inline
script's __mountHero on client-side navigation, and stops it on
leave. The YES canvas (yes.js) and the gesture hero mode leave the
engine - uhhm/questions ships YES as its hero.js, redoal/questions
ships a sine-swings band. Gesture form canvas no longer balloons after
a stroke: the wrap's aspect-ratio reservation is scoped to :empty
(pre-mount) so it can't turn echo-strip height into width inside the
flex field.
