Release 0.3.42

people: the Kanidm person lookup reads the body (200 + null is a
missing person in Kanidm 1.11).

+# Changelog
+
+One line per change, grouped by the release that shipped it. Newest
+first. A release is a Cargo.toml bump plus a `v<version>` tag; the
+content repos pin the tag they run (see the end of this file).
+
+## 0.3.42 (2026-09-23)
+
+- people: the Kanidm person lookup reads the body, since Kanidm 1.11 answers a missing person with 200 and `null` rather than 404; before this every invite skipped account creation and failed on the group step
+
+## 0.3.41 (2026-09-23)
+
+- publish: the iris release step retries on a fresh clone when its push loses a race against a push to iris main (the v0.3.40 tag never published)
+- iris: `check --access` prints the access matrix, and every check validates the compiled policy against the schema
+
+## 0.3.40 (2026-09-23)
+
+- One access policy, compiled from content into Cedar on every load (`src/access.rs`): pages, resource reads, desk transitions, self transitions and the automation endpoint all decide through it; decisions carry rule ids, refusals and mutations publish on `portal.access.decided`, and `portal.access.<site>.may` answers the same question for other apps over NATS
+- `invite: {group}` on an alternative onboards a person into Kanidm from a desk (`src/people.rs`, `KANIDM_API_TOKEN`), recording the one-time credential link in `portal_invites` and on `portal.people.invited`
+
+## 0.3.39 (2026-09-23)
+
+- publish: releases the matching uhhm/iris by proxy - re-pins, builds, tests and tags it as this version (needs the `IRIS_PUSH_USER` variable and `IRIS_PUSH_TOKEN` secret); iris carries portal's version number from here on
+
+## 0.3.38 (2026-09-22)
+
+- publish: the iris build step gets a writable cargo home; the v0.3.37 tag never published
+
+## 0.3.37 (2026-09-22)
+
+- The lint moves to its own repo, uhhm/iris: `question_lint` becomes `iris check`, `needs_replay` becomes `iris replay`; the tarball ships `iris` (pinned in publish.yml) instead of `question_lint`; the needs module and local loaders leave portal
+
+## 0.3.36 (2026-09-22)
+
+- Question nav: a followup is offered only once earned - the verified chain answered the alternative leading there, or a link that records nothing leads on from an earned page. Standing on a page no longer unlocks the pages behind its forms; the chain index now records which alternative was answered
+- One bounded HTTP client for every server-side fetch: 20 s budget, size caps per kind of fetch (`src/http.rs`)
+- Uploads are refused past 20 MB while streaming, and the route body limit that had capped them at axum's 2 MB default is raised to match
+- `tests/jetstream.rs`: the store, the event log and the projection tested against a real JetStream (CI starts a throwaway one)
+- `content` split into `gitea`, `validate`, `markdown`, `handlers`; every path still `content::x`
+- This changelog, and the table of what each site runs
+- Business needs as a checkable spec: needs.yaml + question_lint pass
+- needs: `success` states and a resolved simulation model
+- needs: `stages` - every stage the business named must be a state
+- needs_replay: make simulated cases real aggregates, report buckets by state
+- needs: also_moved_by - a need carried by more than one group's desk
+
+## 0.3.35 (2026-09-12)
+
+- Item cards: no paragraph margin under the description
+
+## 0.3.34 (2026-09-11)
+

+
+## 0.3.33 (2026-09-02)

+- Caddy snippet: use multi-line log block
+- Fix static asset 404s and build-time SITE_NAME
+- Hot-reload content on a NATS trigger instead of requiring a restart

+- Add self-service transitions, authorized by item possession not group membership
+- Event-sourced applicant/subscriber/project aggregates, generalized resources
+- deploy.yml: write GITEA_API_TOKEN for the new GiteaStarred/OrgRepos resource sources

+- Fix recursion-limit build failure in the new item-card renderer
+- Resource-backed multi/single-select requirement

+- Fix favicon (real icon, not an unrelated orange circle) + stack encouragements with the submit button
+- Fix bucket-404 on empty resources, redesign review actions as select-then-confirm, CSS polish
+- Inline encouragements with the submit button, vertically centered
+- Use the real institutional logo for the header wordmark, not plain text
+- Use the actual UHHM-letters wordmark, not the institutional mark

+- Stop blocking native scroll on the YES canvas's touch handlers
+- Quicksand: font-display optional, not swap, to stop the text-jump on scroll
+- Use lvh/lvmin, not svh/svmin - svh was the wrong end of the viewport
+- Update style/main.css
+- Update style/main.css
+- YES canvas: size off its own container rect, not window.innerHeight
+- yes.js: freeze .hero-yes's height via inline style, don't trust svh alone

+- Make aggregate state graphs content-driven, not compiled Rust

+- Reseed lost event history from the KV projection on transition
+- Lighten the comment load
+- Validate action targets; format timestamps client-side; clippy cleanup
+- Question nav + gateway alternatives
+- Responsible note under the title; followup pages out of the nav until a chain exists
+- README: what the engine provides
+- Feature icons: masked span painted by currentColor, not <img>
+- Responsible note: one line, same hue and size as the hero description
+- Responsible note as <small>: meta information, dimmer than the description
+- Responsible note back to the footer, above the question nav
+- Bound inputs: a field that loads its value from a sibling-parameterized resource
+- add some more width to our alternatives
+- Accent to a dusty press-cyan, a muted echo of the canvas's cyan ink
+- Editor type in rem: prosekit's px typography ignored the responsive root
+- Ban px from stylesheets: every length rem/em off the responsive root
+- No translucent input chrome: solid ink-dim placeholders and embed meta

+- Gesture input type, redoal-relay client, gitea_releases, content-driven branding
+- Echo thumbnails fade in via timeout, not rAF
+- Trigger deploy: redoal OAuth2 credentials now configured
+- Deploy becomes publish: portal ships as a versioned release artifact
+- Semver releases cut with cargo-release; publish on v* tags only
+- Docs: release/rollout flow after the instance-ownership refactor
+- README: frame portal as a generic multi-site question engine
+- Design doc: filesystem routes, sections, dynamic segments
+- Filesystem routes, sections, dynamic segments; instant YES hero
