+# 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).
+
+## 0.5.11 (2026-09-30)
+
+- Storylines (`src/content/variants.rs`, `docs/storylines.md`): any text a person reads may be a list, one entry per storyline, every list the same length; a visitor is given one storyline for the whole site (the `portal_storyline` cookie, a year) and reads it on every page and in every mail about their case. What the machine reads - a field's `name`, `options`, states, groups, paths - never varies. The lint refuses a list of another length. Records and answer events carry `storyline`, and `GET /report` gives counts per bucket, per storyline, per state, and nothing else.
+
+## 0.5.10 (2026-09-30)
+
+- The lint lets an invite form collect a required `phone` in place of a required `email`: memberships know a person by number first.
+
+## 0.5.9 (2026-09-30)
+
+- With memberships as the people backend and a Kanidm token still set, an invite makes the Kanidm account as well (no group, the one-time link in the mail): Kanidm makes people, portal makes members, and a site can switch to memberships before its sign-in provider is one everyone already has.
+
+## 0.5.8 (2026-09-30)
+
+- Fixed: 0.5.7 asked every provider for the `phoneNumber` scope, and Kanidm denies a sign-in that asks for a scope the person does not hold, so nobody could sign in. The scope is asked for only with `OIDC_EXTRA_SCOPES=phoneNumber` (Vipps). 0.5.7 must not be deployed on a Kanidm site.
+
+## 0.5.7 (2026-09-30)
+
+- Memberships: groups kept by portal itself (`src/memberships.rs`, `docs/memberships.md`). A membership is a case in the built-in `portal_memberships` bucket - `invited` by a desk, a `grants`, the seed or the responsible pass; `active` from the person's first sign-in, when the provider's subject, phone number or address matches; `removed` by a desk. A person is their phone number first (`+4791234567`, `PHONE_COUNTRY` for bare numbers), their address second, the provider's subject third, and one record per group and person however it was keyed. At sign-in the active memberships join the `groups` claim, so Cedar sees the same parents as before. `PEOPLE_BACKEND=memberships` switches a site; unset, a `KANIDM_API_TOKEN` means Kanidm and no token means memberships. `SEED_ADMIN_PHONE` seeds by number. The sign-in asks for the `phoneNumber` scope and reads `phone_number` from userinfo.
+- The NATS access service answers for a person named by `sub`, `phone` or `email` with no groups listed: their memberships are looked up first.
+- `who_for` (the person a `grants` is about) takes `navn` as well as `name`, and a phone number in place of an address.
+- The invite mail for someone who needs no link says where to sign in.
+
+## 0.5.6 (2026-09-30)
+
+- A group may hold a page's responsibility: `responsible: { name, contact, group: styret }`. No account or mail for the inbox, and any signed-in member of the group gets the suggest-a-change card. Before this, a board's shared address was onboarded as a person.
+
+## 0.5.5 (2026-09-30)
+
+- One record answers another, from a list. `link` on a resource puts a link on every listed record to a page about it (`{id}`, `{field}`), a state mail's `to` may be a field of the record this one belongs to (`{notice.email}`, and `{notice.field}` in the text), and `value: "{user.email}"` fills a field from the session and hides it, so a signed-in person is not asked who they are. Together they make a board: a notice is listed with "answer this", the answer page's form carries the notice's id, and the mail goes to whoever posted it. The lint requires the record field the mail reaches through.
+- The way down the tree is the line at the foot of the page and nothing else. The arrow fixed at the left edge, which 0.5.3 added beside it, is gone: it followed the reader down every page to offer something the foot already does.
+
+## 0.5.4 (2026-09-29)
+
+- Accounts the content mandates, made at start (`src/seed.rs`). Every person a page names as `responsible` gets a Kanidm account if they have none, and a mail in the site's language saying they are listed as responsible for asking that question, with the link to sign in; `RESPONSIBLE_GROUP` puts them all in one group (people who already had an account are added without a mail). `SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL` (and `SEED_ADMIN_NAME`, `SEED_GROUP`) invites the first person into the site's most privileged group - the group whose desk may invite into the most groups - so a site with its own Kanidm has someone to invite everyone else. Both happen once per address and group (`portal_seed`), side by side, and each tries again a minute apart, twenty times, while Kanidm comes up. The responsible are gone over again whenever the content changes (`portal.content.reloaded`, published once new content is in place), so a new page's person is set up without a restart - and someone the content has stopped naming leaves `RESPONSIBLE_GROUP` in the same pass, if portal is who put them there.
+- An invite is a case that keeps itself current (`portal_invites`: `open`, `expired`, `done`). Signing in closes a person's invites; a sweep every ten minutes moves one whose link ran out unused to `expired`, and takes the link off the record. From `expired` a desk may send it again: the move back to `open` makes a fresh link and mails it. Content offers that with `{ from: expired, to: open }` on the list of invites. The invites portal makes itself at start are on file with the rest.
+- Fixed: an invite mail said the link worked "until" and then nothing. Kanidm 1.11 gives a link's end as seconds since the epoch, and portal read only the older RFC 3339 string.
+- Fixed: a search by mail that Kanidm failed to answer (a 5xx) was read as "not permitted", and the invite went on to match by username - which could give someone with an account under another name a second one. Only a refusal is read that way now.
+- A page's responsible person, signed in, may suggest a change to it: a card at the foot of their own pages, checked on the server against the page's `responsible.contact`, published on `portal.edits.suggested`, and mailed to the site's inbox with them as reply-to. It is a case in the built-in `portal_edit_suggestions` bucket - `open`, `discussed`, `done` or `declined` - so a desk that lists the bucket takes it up and settles it, the person who made it is mailed at each move, and the card shows them what became of what they sent before. The session now carries the signed-in person's email.
+- The mail to someone named responsible names the first three questions and counts the rest; on a site where one address answers for every page it used to list them all.
+- Fixed: an invite of someone new failed on a Kanidm set up with the onboarding account alone. Portal created the person, then set their address in a second call, and `idm_people_on_boarding` may create but not modify: 403. The address now goes in with the person.
+
+## 0.5.3 (2026-09-29)
+
+- A way down the tree from every page: an arrow fixed at the left edge, half-way up, and the same link in words at the foot ("Tilbake til starten", "Back to “What came in?”"). It goes to the nearest page below the current one that the visitor may open, taking the path apart a segment at a time, and to the front door when none is; the front door has none. Content no longer needs a "back" alternative, and a visitor who went up a branch that turned out not to apply is never stranded.
+
+## 0.5.2 (2026-09-28)
+
+- The rate limiter answered 500 to any request that arrived without `X-Forwarded-For`. It reads the caller from that header or `X-Real-IP` and falls back to the socket, and 0.5.0 served the app without connect info, so there was no socket to fall back to and no key to rate-limit by. Through Caddy every request carries the header and the site was fine; a health check on localhost got a 500, which is how the first deploy of 0.5.1 failed.
+
+## 0.5.1 (2026-09-28)
+
+- A `self_transition` that names no `from` means the bucket's own initial state, not the word `open`. 0.5.0 read the literal, which is only right for a bucket whose records start there: redoal's watchers arrive at `pending` and confirm themselves into `open`, so the rule compiled as `open -> open` and the confirm link in the mail could never match. Wrong the same way before 0.5.0, and now visible because the lint checks the edge exists.
+
+## 0.5.0 (2026-09-28)
+
+- Sessions live in NATS KV (`src/sessions.rs`), not in memory. Every restart used to sign out every desk on the site being deployed; they now survive it, in the JetStream that is already under everything else - no new service and no new store to run. The bucket's `max_age` collects what nobody returns for, and a record's own expiry is what answers a load.
+- Fixed: the JetStream integration test asserted a record's projected state was one a desk move had never written to it, so it failed whenever it actually ran. `test.yml` has been red since 0.3.47 while `publish.yml` stayed green, which is how 0.4.0 shipped past it.
+- A file can come back out. `GET /attachment/{bucket}/{record}/{field}` streams what a `type: file` field stored, reading the object key out of the record rather than taking one from the caller - so a file is only reachable through a record somebody may see, and a key that leaks off a desk is a link to nothing. Before this, uploads were one-way: a desk showed the key as a string and there was no way to open it.
+- Rate limiting, per caller IP, outside everything else: a burst of 30 refilled one every two seconds (`PORTAL_RATE_BURST`, `PORTAL_RATE_SECONDS`; either 0 turns it off). A form-filling visitor never reaches it; a script does. There was none at all before.
+- `/upload` asks the policy, like every other way in. It asked nothing: any caller who could reach the host could put 20 MB in the bucket, as often as they liked, and a site whose forms are public is a site whose upload route is public. It now takes the `question` and `alternative` the file is being attached to, refuses a page that declares no `type: file` field or an alternative that is closed, and asks `Submit` on that page - the same question the submission itself will ask - before a byte is written. Latent until an instance had storage configured; the first one now does.
+- A submitter stays in dialogue with their case for as long as it runs. `self_transition` takes `from: [state, ...]`, and the access policy compiles one rule per state named; it defaulted to the initial state alone and was written that way in the compiler, so an applicant written to for a missing drawing could not send it, and nobody could withdraw once anything had happened. Omitted, it still means the initial state alone.
+- A record can belong to another record. `type: record` with `of: <bucket>` stores the parent's id, which arrives on the link rather than being typed; a submission naming a record that is not there is refused. The other half is `where: { field, equals }` on a Kv resource, so an application's page can list the objections that name it.
+- A public view need not publish the whole bucket. `states: [...]` on a Kv resource shows only those, for one record as well as a listing - a register that is public by law is public about what was decided, not about what was withdrawn. The desk over the same bucket is a different spec and still sees all of it.
+- A state can grant a group: `grants: <group>` beside its `event`, so an approval that means membership does not also need somebody to remember to invite them afterwards. The lint requires the forms that fill such a bucket to collect a required name and email, because by the time a desk presses approve there is nobody left to ask.
+- A state can be moved by a clock: `after: { days, to }`, swept hourly, measured from the record's last move (`src/deadlines.rs`). A deadline may only do what a person could have done - `after.to` is held to the same declared edge as a desk button - and the move fires the same mail and publishes the same event, stamped `deadline`.
+- Documentation moved out of the README into `docs/`: architecture, content reference, state machines, access, operations.
+- A page says nothing until it has something to say. The Suspense fallback on a question was the whole served page - no header, no wordmark - so the first and only thing a visitor or a crawler read was the word "loading…", which is true and is not about them. It now holds the space and stays quiet, with `aria-busy` for a reader that would otherwise find an empty document.
+- Gone: the `gitea_org_repos` resource kind, which no site ever named. `gitea_starred` and `gitea_releases` stay.
+
+## 0.4.0 (2026-09-24)
+
+- A field can be a place: `type: location` puts a pin on a map and stores `{lat, lon, zoom}`; a record holding one renders as a still map on its desk and in any resource card.
+- A question can be about a place: `place: { lat, lon, zoom, name }` is the counterpart to `event:` - event makes a page an occasion with a time, place makes it somewhere, draws the map under the question, and opens any location field on that page there instead of on the globe.
+- Maps are served from this origin. Portal fetches every tile and every still itself (`src/maps.rs`, MapLibre vendored), so a page with a map on it makes no third-party request, needs no consent banner, and the `MAPBOX_TOKEN` never leaves the server. Unset, the feature is simply off.
+- A reply to a case mail becomes a note on its record: whatever reads the mailbox publishes on `portal.mail.received` and portal appends the note, after checking the record exists and the sender is the address the record itself holds. A note never moves a case.
+
+## 0.3.47 (2026-09-24)
+
+- iris: needs.yaml takes `stage_words`, each state in the site's own words, carried into the simulation model for the trainer's desk score. No change to portal itself.
+
+## 0.3.46 (2026-09-23)
+
+- An invite first looks the email up in Kanidm (`/v1/raw/search` on `mail`, when the service account may read people: `idm_people_pii_read`) and only adds an existing account, under whatever username, to the group; no second account, no reset link.
+
+## 0.3.45 (2026-09-23)
+
+- A mail stream that cannot be created at boot (subjects owned by an older stream) is a warning, not a failed start; 0.3.44 took the kasse sites down for two minutes on the rename.
+
+## 0.3.44 (2026-09-23)
+
+- The mail stream is named `mail` (was `WORMHOLE`); gdo 0.1.2 matches. Delete the old stream on each NATS after upgrading both.
+
+## 0.3.43 (2026-09-23)
+
+- Mail is content: `mail: { to, subject, body }` on a state in aggregates.yaml sends when a record enters that state (`to: submitter` or one address; `{field}`, `{site}`, `{chain}`, `{email}` in the templates), and an invite mails its one-time link built in; `site.yaml` gains `mail: { from, reply_to, invite }`. Portal renders and publishes on `portal.mail.send` in the `WORMHOLE` stream; uhhm/gdo delivers. The lint requires a required `email` field on every form recording into a bucket that mails the submitter.
+
+## 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

+- Bound inputs: a field that loads its value from a sibling-parameterized resource
+- add some more width to our alternatives

+## What each site runs
+
+Read from the hosts on 2026-09-28; a rollout is a pin bump in the
+site's content repo (`PORTAL_RELEASE` in its `deploy.yml`) - on both
+hosts now, since kasse's runner deploys its own instances.
+
+| Site | Host | Instance | Version |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| uhhm.no | ergo | `app@uhhm-portal` | v0.5.2 |
+| redoal.com | ergo | `app@redoal-portal` | v0.5.2 |
+| westra.klingenbergbygg.no | kasse | `app@westra-portal` | v0.5.2 |

+hosts the content, NATS JetStream stores the events and projections,
+Kanidm provides identity, and anything downstream — automations,
+newsletters, onboarding — subscribes to the answer stream.
 
-## What the engine provides
+## Documentation
 
-- **Content-driven pages** (`src/content.rs`, `src/app.rs`): YAML
-  loaded from Gitea at boot and hot-swapped on a NATS reload signal;
-  a bad push keeps the last-good content serving. The `questions/`
-  tree IS the router — file paths become URLs, `_section.yaml`
-  applies criteria to a whole directory, `[name].yaml` pages serve
-  any `/dir/<value>` with the segment fed into resource keys, and
-  `requires_chain` gates a page on verifiable answer provenance next
-  to `qualifies`' Kanidm-group identity gate (see
-  `docs/design/filesystem-routes.md`).
-- **Gesture and voice fields** (`gesture.js`, `voice.js`): a stroke
-  becomes a redoal gesture key through a relay (ADR-0013/0015 in the
-  redoal repo) - the input shows the key's own decode under the
-  stroke, who is at a similar shape now, and *places* with recordings
-  the visitor can pick to make that key theirs; a voice field records
-  in the browser and leaves the audio at a key. Actions may be
-  templated from the answer (`/shape/{curve.key}`) onto dynamic
-  pages, whose URL segment also fills `value: "{key}"` presets and
-  `url` resource sources; resource items with an https `audio` field
-  render a player.
-- **Announced pages** (`src/announce.rs`): a question with an
-  `event: {starts, duration, place}` window is announced in the
-  header (not the footer nav) while the window is open, becomes a
-  followup when it closes, and its record in the runtime-owned
-  `portal_events` bucket moves to `awaiting_summary` - a "post what
-  happened" task any review desk can read, published on NATS like a
-  decision. A one-minute sweeper keeps it all idempotent.
-- **State machines as content** (`src/aggregates/`): `aggregates.yaml`
-  declares each bucket's states and legal transitions; the engine
-  replays a record's event history and refuses undeclared moves, with
-  optimistic concurrency (CAS on the event log's sequence) against
-  racing decisions. An empty history reseeds from the KV projection,
-  so wiping the event stream strands nothing.
-- **Durable events + projections** (`src/events/`, `src/answers.rs`):
-  every submission and decision appends to a JetStream event log and
-  projects into a NATS KV bucket pages read back; every one also
-  publishes on `portal.answers.submitted` for automations (n8n) to
-  react to.
-- **Answer chains** (`src/chain.rs`): each submission hashes its
-  parent(s), so a visitor's path through the questions is a verifiable
-  lineage; `?chain=` links carry it, and self-service transitions
-  (unsubscribe) authorize by holding one.
-- **Live resources** (`src/resource.rs`): content can pull a KV
-  bucket, Gitea starred/org repos/releases, or any public JSON URL
-  (SSRF fail-closed), reshaped by a content-declared `jq` filter.
-- **Input kinds as content**: a requirement's `type:` picks the
-  widget — plain fields, a rich-text editor, or a `gesture` drawing
-  canvas that can connect to a redoal relay so similar strokes echo
-  between visitors live. Submitted values are arbitrary JSON; the
-  engine records what the widget produced.
-- **Review desks**: any Kv resource with `transitions` renders rows
-  with per-state action buttons and one shared confirm per
-  alternative — owners walk records through their graphs without
-  bespoke UI per bucket.
+Everything is under [`docs/`](docs/README.md):
 
-## Binaries
-
-- `portal` — the server (Leptos SSR + hydrate, Axum underneath).
-- `question_lint` — headless content validation, shipped inside every
-  release artifact so each content repo's CI lints with the exact
-  portal version its instance runs; also works offline:
-  `question_lint --path <dir>`.
+- [Architecture](docs/architecture.md) — what the engine is made of.
+- [Content reference](docs/content-reference.md) — every key a content
+  repo may write.
+- [State machines](docs/state-machines.md) — `aggregates.yaml`.
+- [Access](docs/access.md) — the policy compiled from content.
+- [Operations](docs/operations.md) — releasing, deploying, adding a site.
 
 ## Development
 
 ```sh
-cargo leptos build            # full app (server + wasm)
-cargo test --features ssr     # engine tests
-cargo build --features ssr --bin question_lint
+cargo leptos build            # server + wasm
+cargo test --features ssr     # tests/jetstream.rs needs PORTAL_TEST_NATS_URL
 ```
 
-Runtime configuration is env vars (see `src/main.rs`, and each
-content repo's `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` for the values in
-production): `NATS_URL`, `CONTENT_REPO`/`CONTENT_BRANCH`, Kanidm OIDC
-(`KANIDM_URL`, `OAUTH2_CLIENT_*`), optional `GARAGE_*` for uploads,
-`GITEA_API_TOKEN` for authenticated resource pulls,
-`AUTOMATION_READ_TOKEN` for the automation KV read endpoint.
-
-## Release and deploy
-
-Portal doesn't deploy itself — it publishes versions, and each site
-decides when to take one. The whole day-to-day surface is two
-commands:
-
-**Cut a release** (here):
+Content is linted by [iris](https://project.uhhm.no/uhhm/iris), which
+depends on this crate and carries the same version, so a content repo
+can check itself against the exact portal its instance runs:
 
 ```sh
-cargo release patch        # or minor / major
+iris check --path questions
 ```
 
-That bumps `Cargo.toml`, tags `v<version>`, and pushes; CI
-(`.gitea/workflows/publish.yml`) reacts to the tag, builds once, and
-attaches `portal-v<version>.tar.gz` (`portal` + `question_lint` +
-`hash.txt` + `site/`) to the Gitea release. Pkg files are
-content-hashed (`hash-files = true`; instances run with
-`LEPTOS_HASH_FILES=true`), so a freshly served page can never pair a
-stale cached bundle with new wasm. Plain pushes to `main` only run the
-tests (`test.yml`) — nothing reaches production from this repo.
+## Releasing
 
-**Roll it out** (in a content repo): edit one line in that repo's
-`.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml` —
-
-```yaml
-env:
-  PORTAL_RELEASE: v0.1.1   # <- bump, commit, push
-```
-
-Its CI downloads the pinned artifact, ships
-`/srv/app/<instance>/releases/<tag>`, flips `current`, rewrites the
-instance env from that repo's own Actions variables/secrets, restarts
-`app@<instance>`, and refreshes the Caddy route. Every rollout is a
-commit, so reverting a bad version is `git revert` + push. Sites
-upgrade independently: uhhm.no (uhhm/questions → `app@uhhm-portal`,
-:3010) and redoal.com (redoal/questions → `app@redoal-portal`,
-:3020) can pin different versions.
-
-Content changes never come through any of this — they hot-reload
-live from the content repos over NATS.
-
-**Add a site**: new content repo with a copy of an existing
-`deploy.yml` (change `INSTANCE`, port, domains), Actions variables
-(`KANIDM_URL`, `OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID`, `PUBLIC_URL`, `SITE_NAME`) and
-secrets (`NATS_URL`, `OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET`,
-`PORTAL_GITEA_API_TOKEN` — Gitea reserves the `GITEA_` prefix for
-secret names), a Kanidm OAuth2 client, and DNS. `site.yaml` in the
-content repo handles all branding; no portal changes needed.
+`cargo release patch` tags and pushes; CI builds the tarball and
+attaches it to the Gitea release. A site takes it by bumping
+`PORTAL_RELEASE` in its own content repo. See
+[operations](docs/operations.md).

+Portal turns a Git repo of YAML into a running site. Almost everything
+here is about that YAML: what a content repo may say, and what the
+engine does with it.
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| [Getting started](getting-started.md) | Bringing your people in: from an empty Kanidm to everyone at their own desk, from what the content says. |
+| [Architecture](architecture.md) | What the engine is made of and where each piece lives in the source. |
+| [Content reference](content-reference.md) | Every key a content repo may write, and what it does. |
+| [State machines](state-machines.md) | `aggregates.yaml`: stages, who moves a case, mail, deadlines, memberships. |
+| [Access](access.md) | How the Cedar policy is compiled from content, and who may ask it what. |
+| [Storylines](storylines.md) | The same site told several ways: lists of texts, one storyline per visitor, counted per storyline. |
+| [Memberships](memberships.md) | Groups kept by portal itself: a membership as a case, a person as a phone number first, and the provider only saying who. |
+| [Operations](operations.md) | Releasing, deploying, adding a site, environment variables. |
+| [Filesystem routes](design/filesystem-routes.md) | Why the `questions/` tree is the router. |
+
+Two repos in the same family carry their own docs:
+
+- [uhhm/iris](https://project.uhhm.no/uhhm/iris) — the lint. Versioned
+  as portal and released by portal's publish job; it is the thing a
+  content repo's CI runs before anything reaches a site.
+- [uhhm/gdo](https://project.uhhm.no/uhhm/gdo) — the mailer. Delivers
+  what content asked to be sent, and carries replies back.

+# Access
+
+Who may do what to what is compiled from content on every load into
+one Cedar policy set, and every server entry point asks that one
+policy. Identity stays Kanidm's; portal only decides.
+
+## Where the groups come from
+
+The policy names groups; it does not hold them. A `User` entity's
+parents are the person's groups, and those come from the sign-in: the
+`groups` claim the provider sent, joined with the person's active
+[memberships](memberships.md) when portal keeps them itself. Cedar
+sees one list either way.
+
+## What content compiles to
+
+| content | rule |
+|---|---|
+| a page with no `qualifies` | anyone may open and submit |
+| `qualifies: case_officers` | that group may open and submit |
+| `requires_chain: /start` | the visitor's verified answer lineage must reach it |
+| a resource with `public: true` | anyone may read it |
+| a resource with `requires_group: g` | that group may read it |
+| a desk resource's `transitions` | that group may make those moves |
+| an alternative's `self_transition` | the submitter may make it, from each state in `from`, with their link and their matching email |
+| an alternative's `invite: {group}` | the page's own group may invite into that group |
+
+Mutations always need a group, whatever `public` says. A resource with
+neither `public` nor `requires_group` is unreachable rather than open:
+the policy fails closed.
+
+## Reading the policy
+
+```sh
+iris check --path questions --access
+```
+
+prints every rule the content compiled to, as a table of who may do
+what from where to where. It is the fastest way to find a rule a
+content repo did not mean to write — a refusal available on the day a
+case arrives, a board that can decide a case it never received.
+
+## Asking it
+
+Every decision carries the rule ids that granted it. Refusals and
+every mutation are published on `portal.access.decided`.
+
+Other applications ask the same question over NATS request-reply on
+`portal.access.<site>.may`, with the same principal, action, resource
+and context the server uses internally — so an automation acting as a
+group gets exactly the answer a person in that group would.
+
+A principal may also name a person by `sub`, `phone` or `email` and
+list no groups; portal then looks their [memberships](memberships.md)
+up before deciding. That is what makes the policy usable for someone
+who has never opened the site.
+
+## The submitter
+
+A person who sent a form has no account. Their credential is the link:
+an unguessable chain hash, plus the email they gave, which the policy
+compares against the one stored on the record.
+
+What they may do, and from where, is `self_transition.from`. Its
+default is the initial state alone. A refusal reads "not found" while
+the record is somewhere the move could have been made from — so the
+endpoint cannot be used to discover which records or addresses exist —
+and "already processed" once the case has moved past it.

+It composes with the surrounding stack rather than bundling it. Gitea
+hosts the content, NATS JetStream stores the events and projections,
+Kanidm provides identity, and anything downstream subscribes to the
+answer stream.
+
+## The pieces
+
+**Content** (`src/content/`) — YAML loaded from Gitea at boot and
+hot-swapped on a NATS reload signal. A bad push keeps the last-good
+content serving. The `questions/` tree is the router: file paths
+become URLs, `_section.yaml` applies to a whole directory, and
+`[name].yaml` serves any `/dir/<value>` with the segment fed into the
+page's resource keys. See [filesystem routes](design/filesystem-routes.md).
+
+**The lint** (`src/content/validate.rs`) — every rule a content repo
+is held to. It runs at boot, on every hot reload, and in a content
+repo's CI through [iris](https://project.uhhm.no/uhhm/iris), which
+depends on this crate and so applies exactly the version the instance
+runs.
+
+**State machines** (`src/aggregates/`) — `aggregates.yaml` declares
+each bucket's states and legal moves. A record's state is replayed
+from its own event history, undeclared moves are refused, and racing
+decisions are settled by CAS on the log's sequence. An empty history
+reseeds from the KV projection, so wiping the event stream strands
+nothing. See [state machines](state-machines.md).
+
+**Events and projections** (`src/events/`, `src/answers.rs`) — every
+submission and decision appends to a JetStream log and projects into
+a NATS KV bucket that pages read back, and publishes on
+`portal.answers.submitted` for automations to react to.
+
+**Answer chains** (`src/chain.rs`) — each submission hashes its
+parents, so a visitor's path through the questions is a verifiable
+lineage. `?chain=` links carry it; a `followup` page is offered only
+once the chain has earned it, and a page behind an answer somebody has
+not given is never offered.
+
+**Access** (`src/access.rs`) — who may do what to what, compiled from
+content on every load into one Cedar policy set that every server
+entry point asks. See [access](access.md).
+
+**People** (`src/people.rs`) — onboarding as a form. An alternative
+with `invite: {group}` creates the person in Kanidm, records their
+email, adds them to the group and mints a one-time credential link. A
+state may also grant a group on its own (`grants:`), so an approval
+that means membership needs no second step.
+
+**Mail** (`src/mail.rs`) — a state may declare the mail its arrival
+sends. Portal renders it and publishes on `portal.mail.send`;
+[gdo](https://project.uhhm.no/uhhm/gdo) delivers it and carries
+replies back on `portal.mail.received`, where they become notes beside
+the record. A note never moves a case.
+
+**Sweepers** (`src/announce.rs`, `src/deadlines.rs`) — the two things
+that move without a person. An announced page's window closes and its
+record becomes a "post what happened" task; a state with a deadline
+waits out its days and then makes the move itself. Both go through the
+same transition path as a desk button and publish the same event.
+
+**Resources** (`src/resource.rs`) — content can read a KV bucket,
+Gitea starred repos, org repos or releases, or any public JSON URL
+(SSRF fail-closed), reshaped by a content-declared `jq` filter. What a
+resource reads is never a client-supplied parameter: the client names
+a page and a feature, never a bucket or URL.
+
+**Maps** (`src/maps.rs`) — MapLibre is vendored and every tile, style
+and still image is proxied through portal, so a page with a map makes
+no third-party request and needs no consent banner.
+
+**Desks** — any Kv resource with `transitions` renders rows with
+per-state buttons and one shared confirm. Owners walk records through
+their graphs with no bespoke UI per bucket.
+
+## Binaries
+
+- `portal` — the server.
+- `iris` — the lint, from its own repo, shipped in every release
+  tarball so a content repo's CI can lint with the exact version its
+  instance runs.
+
+**Sessions** (`src/sessions.rs`) — in the same JetStream KV as
+everything else, so a restart does not sign anybody out. The bucket
+carries a `max_age` so NATS collects what nobody comes back for, and
+each record's own `expiry_date` is what decides on the way out.

+# Content reference
+
+A content repo is the site. This is everything it may say.

+    index.yaml            served at /review
+    [record].yaml         serves /review/<anything>
+```
+
+Nothing here is required except a `questions/` tree with something in
+it. Portal's lint refuses content it cannot serve honestly, at boot,
+on every hot reload, and in CI through `iris check`.
+
+## site.yaml
+
+```yaml
+title: Vestmark kommune          # the browser title and the header

+  reply_to: post@vestmark.example
+  invite: { subject: "...", body: "..." }   # rewords the built-in invite mail
+```
+
+`mail.from` is required as soon as any state declares a mail.
+
+Any text a person reads (`name`, `description`, `label`,
+`placeholder`, a mail's `subject` and `body`, `consequence`,
+`encouragements`) may be a list instead of one string: one entry per
+[storyline](storylines.md), all lists the same length.
+
+## A question
+
+One YAML file is one page.
+
+```yaml
+id: /apply              # defaults to the file's path
+name: Apply to build
+description: What we need from you.
+qualifies: case_officers        # a Kanidm group may open this page
+requires_chain: /start          # or: an answer they must already have given
+followup: true                  # keep it out of the nav until earned
+responsible: { name: Solveig, contact: post@vestmark.example }
+# or a group's: no account is made for the inbox, and any signed-in
+# member of the group may suggest a change to the page
+responsible: { name: The board, contact: board@vestmark.example, group: board }
+event:                          # this page announces an occasion
+  starts: 2026-10-14T18:00
+  duration: 2h
+  place: The town hall
+place:                          # this page is about somewhere
+  lat: 59.8938
+  lon: 11.0332
+  zoom: 15
+  name: Tomter
+alternatives: [ ... ]
+```
+
+`qualifies`, `requires_chain` and `responsible` are inherited from the
+nearest `_section.yaml`. `event` makes a page an occasion with a time;
+`place` makes it a place, drawing a still map under the question and
+opening any `type: location` field on the page there rather than on
+the whole world.
+
+## An alternative
+
+One choice. Never two actions behind one heading: if two things can be
+done, they are two alternatives.
+
+```yaml
+alternatives:
+  - name: Send the drawings
+    description: We answer within twelve weeks.
+    action: /sent                  # the page to go to; /shape/{field} templates
+    record_as: applications        # the bucket the answer lands in
+    disabled: false
+    consequence: [What happens next]
+    encouragements: [It takes two minutes]
+    images: [/site/drawing.png]
+    features: [ ... ]
+```
+
+Three things an alternative may do instead of, or beside, recording an
+answer:
+
+```yaml
+    self_transition:               # the person moves their own record
+      bucket: applications
+      to: complete
+      from: [open, incomplete]     # defaults to the initial state alone
+      label: Send them
+    invite: { group: case_officers }   # onboard someone into Kanidm
+```
+
+`self_transition.from` is what keeps a person in dialogue with their
+case: an applicant written to for a missing drawing answers from
+`incomplete`, and may withdraw from wherever the case has got to.
+Omitted, it is the initial state alone, which is what a one-shot
+unsubscribe link means. Each state listed becomes its own access rule,
+and the lint refuses a `from -> to` the state machine does not declare.
+
+An `invite` needs a required `name` and `email` on the same
+alternative, and the inviting group must be allowed to invite that
+group by the policy.
+
+## A feature
+
+What an alternative offers, explained. A feature that is only layout
+is a feature wasted: each one says something true about the choice.
+
+```yaml
+    features:
+      - name: What you need
+        description: The case number from the letter.
+        icon: document
+        color: "#8ec2c0"
+        requirements: [ ... ]      # form fields
+        resource: { ... }          # live data
+```
+
+## A requirement (a form field)
+
+```yaml
+        requirements:
+          - name: email            # snake_case; this is the stored key
+            label: Your email
+            placeholder: you@example.no
+            type: email
+            optional: false
+            value: "{key}"         # a preset; a dynamic page's segment fills it
+```
+
+`value: "{user.email}"` or `"{user.name}"` is the signed-in person's
+own, and a field it fills is carried rather than asked: someone the
+site knows is not asked who they are. A visitor gets the field, empty.
+
+`type` is one of:
+
+| type | what it is |
+|---|---|
+| `text` | the default |
+| `email`, `tel`, `date`, `number`, … | anything else is passed straight through as the HTML input type |
+| `textarea` | several lines |
+| `prosekit` | a rich-text editor |
+| `select` | one choice, or `multiple: true` for any number |
+| `file` | an upload, with `accept:` and `multiple:` |
+| `location` | a pin on a map, stored as `{lat, lon, zoom}` |
+| `record` | the record this one belongs to |
+| `gesture`, `voice` | a drawn stroke or a recording, through a redoal relay |
+| `hidden` | a carrier value, no label row |
+| `module` | a widget the content repo ships |
+
+A `select` takes either inline `options: [...]` or a `resource:` to
+draw them from, with `id_field:` naming each item's stable id.
+
+A field may load its value from a resource when a sibling changes:
+
+```yaml
+          - name: contents
+            type: textarea
+            bind:
+              field: path          # the sibling to watch
+              resource: { source: { kind: url, url: "https://git.example/raw/{path}" } }
+```
+
+### type: record
+
+How one case belongs to another — an objection to the application it
+objects to, an appeal to the decision it appeals.
+
+```yaml
+          - name: case
+            type: record
+            of: applications       # the bucket the other record is in
+            value: "{key}"         # arrives on the link, on a dynamic page
+```
+
+Nobody types one of these: the stored value is the parent's record id,
+which is a chain hash. It arrives the way it was given out, so the
+field carries rather than asks, and renders hidden. A submission
+naming a record that is not there is refused, so a reference in a
+stored record is one that resolved at least once.
+
+The other half is a listing that asks for the children:
+
+```yaml
+        resource:
+          source: { kind: kv, bucket: objections }
+          requires_group: case_officers
+          where: { field: case, equals: "{key}" }
+```
+
+And the way there from a list: `link` puts a link on every listed
+record to a page about it, with `{id}` for the record's id and
+`{field}` for any of its fields. A notice on a public board links to
+`/oppslag/{id}`, the dynamic page `/oppslag/[key]` whose form carries
+the notice's id back in with `value: "{key}"`:
+
+```yaml
+        resource:
+          source: { kind: kv, bucket: oppslag }
+          public: true
+          link: { to: "/oppslag/{id}", label: Jeg kan låne ut eller låne denne }
+```
+
+## A resource
+
+Live data, declared by content and read by the server. What a resource
+reads is never a client-supplied parameter.
+
+```yaml
+        resource:
+          source: { kind: kv, bucket: applications }
+          key: abc123              # one record instead of the list
+          public: true             # or requires_group: case_officers
+          states: [approved, refused]      # only these; empty means all
+          where: { field: case, equals: "{key}" }
+          jq: ".[] | {name, url: .html_url}"
+          empty: Nothing decided yet.
+          link: { to: "/oppslag/{id}", label: Answer this }   # a page per record
+          transitions:             # the desk's buttons
+            - { from: complete, to: on_hearing, label: Send it out }
+```
+
+`source.kind` is one of `kv`, `gitea_starred`,
+`gitea_releases`, `url`.
+
+A spec with neither `public: true` nor `requires_group` is
+unreachable: reads fail closed, and mutations always need a group
+whatever `public` says.
+
+`states` and `where` narrow a listing. They matter most for a register
+that is public by law — public about what was decided, not about what
+was withdrawn — while the desk working the same bucket is a different
+spec and still sees all of it. A record that has no such field never
+matches: "everything that did not say" is not something a page can ask
+for by accident.
+
+## needs.yaml
+
+What the site is for, as a checkable spec: who wants what, which
+bucket the answer must land in, which group carries it to a finished
+state. The runtime never reads it. `iris check` proves the site meets
+it, and `iris replay` runs cases through the real engine.

+# Getting started: bringing your people in
+
+A site is run by a handful of people: whoever answers for each question
+it asks, and whoever works each desk. This is how they get in - from
+an empty Kanidm to everyone signed in at their own desk - without
+anyone handing out passwords or running an admin tool per person.
+
+The idea in one line: **the content says who is involved, and portal
+makes their accounts.** A page names who is responsible for it; a
+directory is gated on a group; a desk may invite into groups. Portal
+reads that and does the rest at start.
+
+## What you need
+
+- A content repo, and a portal instance running it
+  ([Operations](operations.md) has adding a site).
+- A Kanidm of the site's own. Group names below are exactly the ones
+  the content uses, with no prefix; that is only safe when the Kanidm
+  serves this site alone. (Or no Kanidm at all: with
+  `PEOPLE_BACKEND=memberships` portal keeps the groups itself and any
+  OIDC provider that can say who someone is will do; see
+  [Memberships](memberships.md). The rest of this page is the Kanidm
+  way.)
+- Mail: `mail: { from }` in `site.yaml`, and gdo on the host. Without
+  it accounts are still made, but nobody hears about them.
+
+## 1. Say who is involved, in the content
+
+Three things in the content decide who needs an account:
+
+| content | who | what they get |
+|---|---|---|
+| `responsible: { name, contact }` on a page | the person answering for that question | an account, and a mail saying they are listed as responsible for asking it |
+| `responsible: { name, contact, group }` | a group answering for it | nothing: the inbox is not a person; the group's members have the desk, and each of them may suggest changes to the page |
+| `qualifies: styret` on a page or `_section.yaml` | members of that group | the pages and desks under it |
+| `invite: { group: kasserer }` on a desk page | the desk's own group | the right to bring people into `kasserer` |
+
+The desk whose group may invite into the most groups is the site's most
+privileged one; on a vel that is the board. Portal works that out from
+the content (see step 4).
+
+## 2. Set up Kanidm for portal
+
+Portal needs four things from Kanidm. The
+[tomtervel/infrastructure](https://prosjekt.klingenbergbygg.no/tomtervel/infrastructure)
+repo's `kanidm-setup.sh` does all of them and is a good starting point;
+by hand, as `idm_admin`:
+
+```sh
+K="kanidm -D idm_admin -H https://id.example.no"
+
+# An onboarding account: may create people and issue a first password
+# link, nothing more. pii_read lets an invite find someone who already
+# has an account by their email instead of making a second one.
+$K service-account create portal-onboarding "Portal onboarding" idm_admin
+$K group add-members idm_people_on_boarding portal-onboarding
+$K group add-members idm_people_pii_read portal-onboarding
+
+# One group per `qualifies:` in the content, managed by that account:
+# adding a member to a group takes the right to manage it.
+for g in styret kasserer trafikk; do
+  $K group create "$g" portal-onboarding
+done
+
+# The sign-in client. Everyone in this Kanidm may sign in; what they
+# see comes from their groups, in the `groups` claim.
+$K system oauth2 create portal "My site" https://site.example.no
+$K system oauth2 add-redirect-url portal https://site.example.no/auth/callback
+$K system oauth2 update-scope-map portal idm_all_persons openid profile email
+for g in styret kasserer trafikk; do
+  $K system oauth2 update-claim-map portal groups "$g" "$g"
+done
+$K system oauth2 update-claim-map-join portal groups array
+
+# The onboarding token, read-write, shown once: into portal's env.
+$K service-account api-token generate portal-onboarding portal --readwrite
+```
+
+Then portal's environment:
+
+| variable | value |
+|---|---|
+| `KANIDM_URL` | `https://id.example.no` |
+| `OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID`, `OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET` | the client above (`show-basic-secret`) |
+| `KANIDM_API_TOKEN` | the onboarding token |
+
+## 3. Name the first person
+
+Someone has to be first: every later person is invited from a desk,
+and on an empty Kanidm there is no desk anyone can open yet.
+
+| variable | value |
+|---|---|
+| `SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL` | the first person's address |
+| `SEED_ADMIN_NAME` | their name, as it should appear (optional) |
+| `SEED_GROUP` | a group to put them in, if not the most privileged one (optional) |
+| `RESPONSIBLE_GROUP` | a group every responsible person joins, e.g. `redaktor` (optional) |
+
+## 4. Start portal
+
+At start, portal:
+
+1. **Invites the first person** into `SEED_GROUP`, or the most
+   privileged group, and mails them the one-time link. Once: it is
+   remembered in the `portal_seed` bucket, so restarts and upgrades
+   never send a second link.
+2. **Makes an account for everyone named responsible** who has none,
+   and mails them that they are listed as responsible for asking those
+   questions, with their link. With `RESPONSIBLE_GROUP` they all join
+   it; someone who already had an account is added without a mail.
+
+The two run side by side. Kanidm may still be starting beside portal,
+so each is tried again a minute apart, up to twenty times. The log says
+what happened, per person.
+
+The second happens again **whenever the content changes**, so a new
+page naming a new person sets them up without a restart. And it works
+both ways: someone the content has stopped naming leaves
+`RESPONSIBLE_GROUP` in the same pass, and with it whatever else that
+group opens. Only if portal is who put them there - a person who was in
+the group before is left in it - and their account stays, since it is
+theirs.
+
+## 5. The rest come in from the desks
+
+From here nobody touches Kanidm:
+
+- **At a desk**, whoever may invite fills in a name and an address.
+  Portal makes the account, adds them to the group, and mails the link.
+- **A decision can be the invitation.** A state with `grants: group`
+  in `aggregates.yaml` puts the person a case is about into that group
+  when the case arrives there - an approved committee application that
+  *is* the membership.
+- **A new page with a new responsible person** gets them an account
+  when the page goes live.
+
+### An invite that nobody used
+
+A link lives a day. Every invite - a desk's, and the ones portal made
+at start - is a case in `portal_invites`, and keeps itself current:
+
+| state | means | how it gets there |
+|---|---|---|
+| `open` | the link is waiting | the invite was sent, or sent again |
+| `done` | the person is in | they signed in to the site; or a desk says so |
+| `expired` | the link ran out unused | a sweep, every ten minutes |
+
+A desk that lists the bucket offers the way back with a transition from
+`expired` to `open`. Pressing it makes a fresh link and mails it:
+
+```yaml
+resource:
+  source: { kind: kv, bucket: portal_invites }
+  requires_group: styret
+  transitions:
+    - { from: open, to: done, label: Is in }
+    - { from: expired, to: open, label: Send again }
+    - { from: expired, to: done, label: Is in }
+```
+
+## 6. What the people who ask the questions can do
+
+Signed in, a person a page names as responsible sees a card at the
+foot of their own pages to suggest a change. The server checks it is
+really them, and the suggestion is mailed to the site's inbox with them
+as reply-to, so answering it answers them.
+
+It is also a case, in the built-in `portal_edit_suggestions` bucket, so
+it does not depend on somebody reading that inbox. Give a desk the
+list, and whoever sits there takes it up and settles it:
+
+```yaml
+resource:
+  source: { kind: kv, bucket: portal_edit_suggestions }
+  requires_group: styret
+  transitions:
+    - { from: open, to: discussed, label: Looking at it }
+    - { from: open, to: done, label: Changed }
+    - { from: open, to: declined, label: Will not change }
+    - { from: discussed, to: done, label: Changed }
+    - { from: discussed, to: declined, label: Will not change }
+```
+
+The person who suggested it is mailed at each move, in the site's
+language, and the card on their page lists what they have sent and
+where each one stands. A content repo that declares the bucket itself
+in `aggregates.yaml`, with a `mail:` on a state, sends that instead.
+
+Their group can also be the way into other tools. The vel's
+`redaktor` group signs in to the project Gitea with the same account:
+a second OAuth2 client scoped to that group alone.
+
+## When it does not work
+
+| what you see | why |
+|---|---|
+| an invite fails with `403` setting `mail` | a portal before 0.5.4 set the address in a second call; the onboarding account may create but not modify |
+| an invite fails with `404` adding to a group | the group is not managed by `portal-onboarding`: `group set-entry-manager <group> portal-onboarding` |
+| `Item not found` setting the login page's name or logo | those are system settings only `admin` may change, not `idm_admin` - or the CLI and server versions differ |
+| accounts are made but nobody is mailed | `site.yaml` has no `mail.from`, or gdo is not running on the host |
+| someone responsible never got a mail | they already had an account (they are only added to `RESPONSIBLE_GROUP`), or their `contact` is not an email address |
+| an invite stays `open` though the person has set a passkey | Kanidm does not show a passkey to the onboarding account; it becomes `done` when they sign in to the site |

+# Memberships
+
+Who belongs to which group, kept by portal itself.
+
+A site's groups are named in its content: `qualifies` on a page,
+`requires_group` on a list, `invite: { group }` on a desk, `grants` on
+a state. Until now the groups themselves lived in Kanidm, and portal
+read them from the sign-in token. With memberships they live in portal,
+as records in the built-in `portal_memberships` bucket, and the
+identity provider only has to say who someone is. Cedar sees no
+difference: a person's active memberships are the parents of their
+`User` entity, exactly as a `groups` claim was.
+
+## A membership is a case
+
+One record per group and person:
+
+| state | means | how it gets there |
+|---|---|---|
+| `invited` | a place is held for them | a desk invite, a state that `grants`, the first person, someone the content names as responsible |
+| `active` | they are in | they signed in, and the provider's subject, phone number or address matched the record |
+| `removed` | a desk took them out | a button on the desk that lists the bucket; inviting them again reopens the record |
+
+The record carries `name`, `group`, `by` (who or what put them there:
+a username, `seed`, `responsible`, or the case as `bucket:id`), and
+what is known of the person: `phone`, `email`, `sub`. At sign-in
+everything the provider verified is written onto every record that
+matched, so a record made from an address learns the phone number,
+and the next sign-in matches on the subject before anything else.
+
+Because it is a case, a desk lists it like any other bucket:
+
+```yaml
+        resource:
+          source: { kind: kv, bucket: portal_memberships }
+          requires_group: styret
+          transitions:
+            - { from: invited, to: removed, label: Withdraw }
+            - { from: active, to: removed, label: Take out }
+            - { from: removed, to: invited, label: Invite again }
+```
+
+## A person is their phone number first
+
+A provider that verifies phone numbers (Vipps) makes the number the
+surest thing a record can hold. So a person is known by, in order:
+their phone number, their email address, the provider's subject. A
+form that collects `phone`, `telefon`, `tel` or `mobil` gives the
+first; `email` or `epost` the second. Numbers are kept as `+4791234567`
+whatever way they were typed; a bare national number gets the site's
+country (`PHONE_COUNTRY`, `+47` unless set). Addresses are lowercased.
+
+A record matches a person on any one of the three, so a desk that
+invited by address and a decision that granted by number are talking
+about one person, and there is one record.
+
+## Switching a site to memberships
+
+```
+PEOPLE_BACKEND=memberships
+```
+
+Unset, a `KANIDM_API_TOKEN` means Kanidm and no token means
+memberships. With memberships:
+
+- A desk invite writes an `invited` record and mails "log in at the
+  site, and your place is there". The provider makes people, portal
+  makes members: with Vipps Login everyone can already sign in. A
+  Kanidm still configured beside memberships (`KANIDM_API_TOKEN`)
+  makes the account too, with no group and the one-time link in the
+  mail, so a site can switch to memberships before its provider does.
+- `grants` writes a record for the person the case is about, from the
+  form's name and phone number or address.
+- `SEED_ADMIN_PHONE` or `SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL` writes the first person's.
+- The people the content names as responsible get theirs in
+  `RESPONSIBLE_GROUP`, and lose it when the content stops naming them.
+- The `groups` claim, if the provider sends one, still counts: a
+  person's groups are the union.
+
+With `OIDC_EXTRA_SCOPES=phoneNumber` the sign-in asks the provider for
+the number and reads `phone_number` from userinfo. Set it for Vipps;
+not for Kanidm, which denies a sign-in that asks for a scope the
+person does not hold. Without it, matching falls back to the address.
+
+## Asking who belongs
+
+Other applications ask portal the same access question they always
+could, over NATS on `portal.access.<site>.may`. A principal that names
+a person and lists no groups is looked up:
+
+```json
+{ "principal": { "kind": "user", "sub": "vipps:abc", "phone": "912 34 567" },
+  "action": "transition",
+  "resource": { "kind": "bucket", "name": "hazards" },
+  "context": { "from": "open", "to": "fixed" } }
+```
+
+The answer is Cedar's, with the rule ids that granted it, for a person
+who may never have opened the site. That is the whole authorization
+engine: the provider says who, memberships say what they belong to,
+the policy compiled from content says what they may do.
+
+## What Kanidm still does
+
+For a site on Kanidm nothing changes: invites make accounts and add to
+Kanidm groups, and `portal_invites` tracks the one-time links. The two
+backends can be swapped by the one variable; the content and the
+policy are the same either way.

+# Operations
+
+Portal does not deploy itself. It publishes versions; each site
+decides when to take one.
+
+## Cut a release
+
+```sh
+cargo release patch        # or minor / major
+```
+
+That bumps `Cargo.toml`, tags `v<version>` and pushes. CI
+(`.gitea/workflows/publish.yml`) reacts to the tag, builds once, and
+attaches `portal-v<version>.tar.gz` (`portal`, `iris`, `hash.txt`,
+`site/`) to the Gitea release. Plain pushes to `main` only run the
+tests: nothing reaches production from this repo.
+
+The same job re-pins, tests and tags [iris](https://project.uhhm.no/uhhm/iris)
+to match, so a portal change to anything the lint reads fails the
+release rather than the next content push.
+
+Before cutting, move the `Unreleased` lines in `CHANGELOG.md` under a
+heading for the new version. That section becomes the release notes,
+and the table at the end of the file records which version each site
+runs.
+
+Pkg files are content-hashed (`hash-files = true`, instances run with
+`LEPTOS_HASH_FILES=true`), so a freshly served page can never pair a
+stale cached bundle with new wasm.
+
+## Roll it out
+
+In the content repo, one line of `.gitea/workflows/deploy.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+env:
+  PORTAL_RELEASE: v0.4.0
+```
+
+Its CI downloads the pinned artifact, ships
+`/srv/app/<instance>/releases/<tag>`, flips `current`, rewrites the
+instance env from that repo's own Actions variables and secrets,
+restarts `app@<instance>` and refreshes the Caddy route. Every rollout
+is a commit, so reverting a bad version is `git revert` and a push.
+
+Sites upgrade independently and may pin different versions.
+
+Content changes never come through any of this: they hot-reload live
+from the content repos over NATS.
+
+## Add a site
+
+A new content repo with a copy of an existing `deploy.yml` (change
+`INSTANCE`, the port and the domains), Actions variables
+(`KANIDM_URL`, `OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID`, `PUBLIC_URL`, `SITE_NAME`) and
+secrets (`NATS_URL`, `OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET`, `PORTAL_GITEA_API_TOKEN`
+— Gitea reserves the `GITEA_` prefix for secret names), a Kanidm
+OAuth2 client, and DNS. `site.yaml` handles all branding; no portal
+change is needed.
+
+## Environment
+
+Runtime configuration is environment variables; `src/main.rs` is the
+authority and each content repo's `deploy.yml` holds the production
+values.
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `NATS_URL` | events, projections, sessions, content reload, access questions |
+| `CONTENT_REPO`, `CONTENT_BRANCH` | the repo that is the site |
+| `KANIDM_URL`, `OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID`, `OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET` | sign-in |
+| `PEOPLE_BACKEND` | `kanidm` or `memberships` (see [Memberships](memberships.md)); unset, Kanidm when `KANIDM_API_TOKEN` is set, memberships otherwise |
+| `KANIDM_API_TOKEN` | invites and `grants:` through Kanidm |
+| `PHONE_COUNTRY` | the calling code a bare phone number gets, `+47` unless set |
+| `OIDC_EXTRA_SCOPES` | scopes to ask the provider for besides `openid profile email`: `phoneNumber` for Vipps. Not for Kanidm, which denies a sign-in that asks for a scope the person does not hold |
+| `SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL` or `SEED_ADMIN_PHONE`, `SEED_ADMIN_NAME`, `SEED_GROUP` | the first person in, invited once at start into the most privileged group (or `SEED_GROUP`) |
+| `RESPONSIBLE_GROUP` | the group every person a page names as `responsible` joins, at start and whenever the content changes, and leaves when no page names them any more; they get an account either way |
+| `PUBLIC_URL`, `SITE_NAME` | what the site calls itself in links and mail |
+| `GITEA_API_TOKEN` | authenticated resource pulls |
+| `AUTOMATION_READ_TOKEN` | the automation KV read endpoint |
+| `GARAGE_*` | uploads |
+| `MAPBOX_TOKEN` | map tiles, proxied; unset, maps are off |
+| `GARAGE_*` (4) | attachments; see below. Unset, upload fields fail closed |
+| `PORTAL_RATE_BURST`, `PORTAL_RATE_SECONDS` | the rate limit; see below |
+
+Mail is delivered by [gdo](https://project.uhhm.no/uhhm/gdo), a
+separate unit on the same host reading the same NATS.
+
+## Rate limiting
+
+Every request passes a per-caller-IP limit before a session is loaded
+or a handler is entered: a burst of 30, refilled one every two
+seconds. A visitor filling in a form never reaches it (a page load
+fetches several resources at once); a script does.
+
+| | |
+|---|---|
+| `PORTAL_RATE_BURST` | how many requests at once, default 30 |
+| `PORTAL_RATE_SECONDS` | seconds per refilled request, default 2 |
+
+Either set to `0` turns it off, for an instance behind something that
+already does this. The caller is read from `X-Forwarded-For` or
+`X-Real-IP`, falling back to the socket — all of these instances are
+behind Caddy.
+
+This is a fence, not an accounting system. What keeps uploads honest
+is the policy check on the route itself.
+
+## Attachments
+
+A `type: file` field stores an object key in the record. The file
+comes back out at:
+
+    GET /attachment/{bucket}/{record}/{field}
+
+which reads the key out of that record rather than taking one from the
+caller, so a file can only be fetched through a record somebody is
+allowed to see, and a leaked key is a link to nothing. Reading it
+needs the same policy permission as reading the bucket on a desk.
+
+Uploads need a bucket and a key in the Garage on the host:
+
+```sh
+garage bucket create <site>-attachments
+garage key create <site>-portal-uploads
+garage bucket allow --read --write <site>-attachments --key <site>-portal-uploads
+```
+
+then `GARAGE_S3_ENDPOINT`, `GARAGE_ACCESS_KEY`, `GARAGE_SECRET_KEY` and
+`GARAGE_UPLOADS_BUCKET` in that instance's env. Unset, an upload field
+fails closed rather than appearing to work and storing nowhere.
+
+## The report
+
+`GET /report` is public and answers with counts only: per bucket, per
+[storyline](storylines.md), per state. It is what the trainer reads to
+compare the storylines on what people did.
+
+## The docs site
+
+These pages are [portal.uhhm.no](https://portal.uhhm.no): `docs/` built
+with mdBook (`book.toml`, `docs/SUMMARY.md`) by `.gitea/workflows/docs.yml`
+on every push to main that touches them, and put to git-pages the way
+every static site on uhhm.no is (uhhm/infrastructure `PAGES.md`). The
+changelog is the book's last page. `mdbook serve` previews it locally.
+
+## Who deploys what
+
+Both hosts deploy from CI now, and a rollout is the same commit either
+way: bump `PORTAL_RELEASE` in the site's own content repo.
+
+| | runner | how it is allowed to |
+|---|---|---|
+| ergo | `runs-on: bare` | the runner is privileged and writes `/srv/app` and `/etc/app` itself |
+| kasse | `runs-on: fish` | the runner is not privileged. It may run one root script, `/usr/local/bin/deploy-portal-instance`, which checks the instance against a fixed list and the tag against a release-tag shape before touching anything |
+
+The kasse grant is a single sudoers line
+(`/etc/sudoers.d/30-portal-deploy`). It exists so a workflow can pick
+which of three known instances gets which published portal tag, and
+nothing else.
+
+Both paths health-check the instance afterwards **without** a forwarded
+header. A check that sends the header Caddy would send cannot tell you
+the site is broken for everything that is not Caddy, which is how
+v0.5.1 reached a host.
+
+`IRIS_RELEASE` in a repo's lint workflow should equal its
+`PORTAL_RELEASE`. Bump it only once iris's own publish job has attached
+the binary for that tag - portal's release tags iris, but iris builds
+and uploads on its own run, and a pin bumped in between fails the lint
+on a download that is not there yet.

+# State machines

+`aggregates.yaml` declares what a bucket's records may be and how they
+move. It is the one file that decides what is possible; the pages only
+decide who presses what.
+
+```yaml
+aggregates:
+  - bucket: applications
+    initial: open
+    states:
+      open:        { event: received }
+      incomplete:  { event: incomplete }
+      complete:    { event: complete }
+      on_hearing:  { event: on_hearing }

+      incomplete:  [complete, withdrawn]
+      complete:    [incomplete, on_hearing, refused, withdrawn]
+      on_hearing:  [incomplete, recommended, refused, withdrawn]
+      recommended: [approved, refused, withdrawn]
+```
+
+`transitions` is an arbitrary directed graph. Cycles are allowed and
+are often the honest shape: a case sent back for the drawing it was
+missing returns to a stage it was already past. A good ending may sit
+partway along — an authority that changes its own decision finishes
+the case without walking to the end of the line.
+
+Each state's `event` string is the name written into the log, and must
+be unique within the bucket. A record's state is replayed from its own
+events, so renaming an event orphans the records that carry the old
+name: when rebuilding a live site, keep the names it already has.
+
+## What a state may carry
+
+Beside its `event`, a state may declare three things that happen when
+a record arrives in it.
+
+### mail
+
+```yaml
+      approved:
+        event: approved
+        mail:
+          to: submitter            # or one fixed address
+          subject: "Your application"
+          body: |
+            Hello,
+
+            {property_address} is approved. The decision is at
+            {site}/status/{chain}.
+```
+
+`{field}` is any field of the record, plus `{site}`, `{chain}`,
+`{email}`, `{bucket}` and `{state}`. The body is markdown; it is sent
+as text with an HTML alternative. `to: submitter` means the record's
+`email` field, and the lint then requires every form filling that
+bucket to collect a required `email`.
+
+A record that belongs to another (a `type: record` field, say
+`notice`) can write to that record's people: `to: "{notice.email}"`
+goes to whoever posted the notice, and `{notice.hva}` in the body is
+what they posted. The lint requires every form filling the bucket to
+carry that field. This is how an answer to a notice on a board reaches
+the neighbour who put it there, without anyone in between.
+
+Portal renders it and publishes on `portal.mail.send`. gdo delivers
+it, and a reply comes back on `portal.mail.received` as a note beside
+the record. A note never moves a case.
+
+### grants
+
+```yaml
+      approved:
+        event: approved
+        grants: approved_firms
+```
+
+The person the record is about becomes a member of that group when the
+record arrives here. An approval that *means* membership should not
+also need somebody to remember to invite them afterwards.
+
+The lint requires every form filling that bucket to collect a required
+`name` and a required `email`, because by the time a desk presses
+approve there is nobody left to ask. With memberships as the people
+backend a phone number does as well as an address, and the grant is a
+record in `portal_memberships` rather than a Kanidm call (see
+[Memberships](memberships.md)). An instance with neither configured
+grants nothing and says so in the log; the transition itself always
+stands.
+
+### after
+
+```yaml
+      on_hearing:
+        event: on_hearing
+        after: { days: 42, to: recommended }
+```
+
+The move a clock makes rather than a person. A hearing that gets no
+answer in six weeks has to go on without one, and nobody in the
+building is in a position to press that button.
+
+A deadline may only do what a person could have done: `after.to` is
+held to the same declared edge as a desk button, and content that says
+otherwise is refused when it loads, not when the hour comes round. The
+wait is measured from the record's last move. The move goes through
+the same transition path, fires the same mail, and lands on
+`portal.answers.submitted` like any decision, stamped `deadline`.
+
+The unit is days and the sweep is hourly. This is a deadline, not a
+job queue.
+
+## attended_by
+
+```yaml
+  - bucket: newsletter
+    initial: open
+    states: { open: { event: received } }
+    attended_by: n8n newsletter compose
+```
+
+Names what consumes a bucket no page reads back. The lint refuses a
+bucket that a form fills and nothing attends — a question was once
+dropped and its answers silently fell out of every reader's view, and
+this is the contract that replaced the convention.
+
+## Who moves what
+
+Nothing in this file says who. A move becomes possible for somebody
+when a page offers it:
+
+- a desk resource's `transitions` gives it to that resource's
+  `requires_group`;
+- an alternative's `self_transition` gives it to the person who sent
+  the record, by their link and their email, from the states its
+  `from` names;
+- a state's `after` gives it to the clock.
+
+All three compile into the same [access policy](access.md), and the
+engine refuses anything the graph above does not declare, whoever asks.
+
+## Testing one
+
+`iris replay` runs cases through this exact machinery — the same
+`store_answer` and `transition` the running site uses, against a
+throwaway JetStream, reporting what the engine accepted and refused.
+
+```sh
+docker run -d --rm -p 127.0.0.1:14222:4222 nats:2.14.6-alpine -js
+iris replay --path questions --nats nats://127.0.0.1:14222 --cases cases.jsonl
+```
+
+Each line of `cases.jsonl` is one case: a need, a record, and the
+states it walks. Point it at a throwaway NATS, never a site's own: it
+writes.

+# Storylines
+
+The same site, told two ways, and counted.
+
+Anywhere content says something to a person, it may say it in several
+ways by giving a list instead of one string:
+
+```yaml
+name: Vil du hjelpe til i nabolaget?
+description:
+  - Dugnad, 17. mai og komiteene trenger flere hender. Si hva du kan.
+  - Naboene gjør det meste selv. Her melder du deg til det du har lyst på.
+alternatives:
+  - name: [Bli med, Meld deg]
+    consequence: [[Send], [Meld meg]]
+```
+
+Each index is a *storyline*. A visitor is given one at their first
+request, kept in a cookie (`portal_storyline`) for a year, and reads
+that storyline on every page, in every button and in every mail the
+site sends them about their case. A single string is every storyline.
+
+## The rules
+
+- **Same length everywhere.** Every list of texts in the content has
+  the site's arity, so a storyline never has a hole in it. The lint
+  refuses a list of another length and names it.
+- **What varies is what a person reads:** `name`, `description`,
+  `label`, `placeholder`, `title`, a mail's `subject` and `body`, a
+  list's `empty` line, `consequence` and `encouragements` (those two as
+  lists of lists).
+- **What the machine reads never varies:** a field's `name` (the stored
+  key), a select's `options` (the stored values), states, groups,
+  paths, buckets.
+- **One storyline per site**, not per page. That is what makes it a
+  storyline rather than a scatter of variants: a warm front door leads
+  to a warm form and a warm mail.
+- A signed-in person keeps the storyline they had as a visitor.
+- A site that tells one storyline sets no cookie.
+
+## What is counted
+
+Every record and every answer event carries the storyline it came
+from (`storyline` on `Answer` and on `portal.answers.submitted`). The
+mail a case gets tells the same storyline, so a person who read the
+warm front door is not thanked in the plain voice.
+
+`GET /report` gives the counts, per bucket, per storyline, per state:
+
+```json
+{ "storylines": 2,
+  "buckets": { "hjelpebehov": { "0": { "open": 3, "ordnet": 9 },
+                                "1": { "open": 5, "ordnet": 14 } } } }
+```
+
+Storylines are assigned evenly, so those numbers are the comparison:
+which words brought more people to send, and how their cases went. No
+record, field, address or time leaves the site. The trainer reads this
+(`portal-trainer report`) next to what its personas scored offline, and
+the plan's `tones` are where the storylines are written.

+//! `placeholder`, a mail's `subject` and `body`, a list's `empty` line,

+//!   - Naboene gjør det meste selv. Her melder du deg til det du har lyst på.

+//! when the link ran out unused. Nobody has to keep that current by

+//! them: at start, portal invites that address into the site's most
+//! privileged group and mails them the one-time link, exactly as a desk
+//! invite would. From there they invite everyone else themselves.
+//!
+//! - `SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL` - who; unset, nothing happens.
+//! - `SEED_ADMIN_NAME` - their display name; defaults to the address's

+//! - `SEED_GROUP` - the group; defaults to the one whose desk may invite
+//!   into the most groups (the board, on a vel), read from the content.
+//!
+//! Once, not on every start: a done seed is remembered in the
+//! `portal_seed` bucket, keyed by address and group, so a restart or an
+//! upgrade never mails a second link. Changing `SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL` or
+//! `SEED_GROUP` seeds the new pair.
+//!
+//! **Everyone the content names as responsible.** A page's
+//! `responsible: { name, contact }` is a person answering for that
+//! question - unless `group` says it is a group's, in which case the
+//! address is an inbox and nobody is made for it. A person gets an

+//! content changes, each responsible address Kanidm does not already
+//! hold is given one, and mailed that they are listed as responsible
+//! for asking those questions, with the link to sign in. Signed in,
+//! their own pages offer them a way to suggest changes.
+//! `RESPONSIBLE_GROUP` names a group they all join - on the vel,
+//! `redaktor`, which is also who may sign in to the project Gitea - and
+//! people who already had an account are added to it without a mail.
+//! A desk is still a desk invite. Each address is onboarded once per
+//! group (`portal_seed`).
