+# 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).
+
+## 0.6.1 (2026-09-30)
+
+- Trainer: `documents` in a plan. A text the site carries word for word (bylaws, terms) becomes a page of its own where every section is one alternative: its heading the card's, its paragraphs the card's words, from a markdown file beside the plan. No model touches it.
+
+- `slideshow` on a page: a strip of pictures the full width of the screen under the question, `max_height` in svh, each picture with its caption laid over it. Swiper when the bundle has loaded, a sideways-scrolling row before. `/site/` serves `jpeg`, and lets a browser keep photographs for an hour.
+
+- The release's bare binary is named `portal-x86_64-linux` (it was `portal` in 0.6.0 only). Gitea lists assets by name, and deploy scripts that take the first asset got the binary instead of the tarball.
+
+## 0.6.0 (2026-09-30)
+
+- One binary. The lint (uhhm/iris) and the trainer (uhhm/portal-trainer) are commands of `portal`: `portal serve` (the default), `portal lint`, and `portal plan`, `build`, `answer`, `rate`, `prefer`, `score`, `simulate`, `compare`, `report`, `generate`. Same source, same version, so the site, the lint and the trainer never disagree about what content means; both histories are merged in. The release attaches the bare `portal` binary beside the tarball, so a content repo's CI downloads it and runs `portal lint`. No more iris releases; the pins that exist keep working. The trainer's `plans/`, `intakes/`, `engines/`, `sectors/` and its reference prompt live here now; its `runs/` stay in uhhm/portal-trainer. Docs gained "Training a site" and "The lint".
+
+## 0.5.11 (2026-09-30, tagged, never published)
+
+The publish job failed at its lint step: iris, built against this tag, did not compile against the storylines change (the same two fixes that went into `src/lint/` when the lint moved in). Nothing was attached to the tag; 0.6.0 is the first release that ships storylines.
+
+- 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
+
+## 0.3.35 (2026-09-12)

+
+- Initial commit: content-driven onboarding portal
+- Load content from Gitea directly, drop the local clone; add deploy workflow

+- Give CI its own SCCACHE_SERVER_PORT

+- Redirect cargo-leptos's tool cache out of act-runner-bare's StateDirectory
+- Fix Ship release: site-root is project-relative, not CARGO_TARGET_DIR

+- 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 prosekit rich-text field, Gitea repo embeds, automation KV read endpoint; fix apex/www session-cookie mismatch on /auth/callback
+- Fix prosekit-editor.js: remove bare CSS imports that aborted the whole module
+- Redirect back to the originating page after sign-in, not always /
+- Fix hero-canvas navigation race; style the prosekit editor and add a toolbar
+- yes.js: guard against the canvas not being in the DOM yet
+- Fix get_resource/transition_answer: scope feature lookup to its own alternative
+- 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
+- Cargo.toml: disambiguate bin-target for cargo-leptos
+- Add manually-triggered backfill workflow, no terminal/sudo needed

+- Fix recursion-limit build failure in the new item-card renderer
+- Resource-backed multi/single-select requirement
+- Add Organization aggregate (client-as-status), wired but inert
+- 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
+- Responsive base font size via svmin, not fixed 17px

+- Size the YES canvas from its container, not window.innerHeight
+- Debounce the YES canvas resize handler and skip no-op resizes

+- 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

+- deploy.yml: build and publish question_lint alongside the app binary
+- Make aggregate state graphs content-driven, not compiled Rust

+- Drop the feature list's left-padding
+- Drop question-report entirely, obfuscate the mailto link instead
+- Transition.from: state graphs deeper than one decision

+- 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

+- 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
+
+
+## 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 |
+| portal.klingenbergbygg.no | kasse | `app@klingenberg-portal` | v0.5.2 |
+| vel.klingenbergbygg.no | kasse | `tomtervel-portal-1` (podman, tomtervel/infrastructure) | v0.6.0, memberships |

+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).

+# 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.

+# Architecture
+
+One Rust binary (Leptos SSR + hydrate, Axum underneath) serving any
+number of sites. The engine special-cases nothing: every page, form,
+desk and state graph a site serves is declared in its content repo,
+and instances differ only by environment variables.
+
+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.

+    [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

+
+`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: The town hall
+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.
+
+### Pictures across the page
+
+`slideshow` lays a strip of pictures under the question, the full
+width of the screen: every picture as tall as the strip and as wide as
+its own shape, swiped or arrowed through, its caption over its foot.
+
+```yaml
+slideshow:
+  max_height: 60               # svh; 60 unless set, between 20 and 100
+  slides:
+    - image: images/built/01.webp     # a path in the content repo, or https://
+      caption: The canteen at the theatre, renewed
+      width: 3207                     # the picture's own size, optional:
+      height: 1400                    # holds its place before it has loaded
+```
+
+Pictures in the content repo are served from this origin under
+`/site/`; `webp`, `avif` and `jpeg` may be kept by the browser for an
+hour. Keep them web-sized: around 1400 pixels tall is plenty.
+
+## 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
+`/notices/{id}`, the dynamic page `/notices/[key]` whose form carries
+the notice's id back in with `value: "{key}"`:
+
+```yaml
+        resource:
+          source: { kind: kv, bucket: notices }
+          public: true
+          link: { to: "/notices/{id}", label: I can lend or borrow this }
+```
+
+## 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: "/notices/{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.

+# 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: board` on a page or `_section.yaml` | members of that group | the pages and desks under it |
+| `invite: { group: treasurer }` on a desk page | the desk's own group | the right to bring people into `treasurer` |
+
+The desk whose group may invite into the most groups is the site's most
+privileged one; for an association 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 board treasurer traffic; 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 board treasurer traffic; 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. `editors` (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: board
+  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: board
+  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
+`editors` 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 |
+| "send again" is not on the desk | the list has no `{ from: expired, to: open }` transition, or the content declares `portal_invites` itself without an `expired` state |
+| someone left a page and is still in `RESPONSIBLE_GROUP` | they were in the group before portal added them, so it is not portal's to undo |
+| the first person was invited twice | it cannot be, per address and group; changing `SEED_ADMIN_EMAIL` or `SEED_GROUP` invites the new pair |

+It was its own binary, iris, until portal 0.6: the same code, released
+as portal's twin. Now it is the `portal` binary's `lint` command, so a
+content repo's CI downloads the release and runs it:
+
+```yaml

+
+`check` loads a content repo exactly the way the running site does,
+validates it (every action lands on a page, every transition is one
+the state machine allows, every recorded bucket is read back
+somewhere), and then holds it to the business needs the repo declares

+- a path of submissions gets each kind of visitor's answer into the

+  finished state is reachable through the buttons it (and any
+  `also_moved_by` group) offers; no record strands on the way;
+- every stage the business named is a state of the machine.
+
+A need marked `planned` warns instead of failing. Exit status is the
+verdict, so a content repo's CI is one line.
+
+Beyond the verdict, `check` exports what a trainer needs to grade the
+wording: `--needs-tasks` writes the personas as typed choice tasks
+(`--skim` for headings only), `--needs-score` grades an engine's
+answers, and `--needs-sim` writes a resolved model of the whole site.
+`portal lint replay` runs simulated cases through the site's real aggregate
+engine on a throwaway JetStream and reports every bucket by state;
+`--report-only` takes the same scorecard from a live site's buckets.
+See [Training a site](training.md) for what sits around those.
+
+## Matching the site
+
+The lint is the site: `portal lint` and `portal serve` are one binary
+built from one source, so a content shape the site reads is a shape
+the lint knows, at the same version. A content repo pins
+`PORTAL_RELEASE` to what its site runs and lints with that release's
+`portal`. The `IRIS_RELEASE` pins from before portal 0.6 keep working
+against the iris releases that exist; nothing new is published there.

+# 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: board
+          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:  [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.

+# 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: Want to help out in the neighbourhood?
+description:
+  - The work day, the spring fair and the committees need more hands. Say what you can do.
+  - The neighbours do most things themselves. Sign up here for whatever you fancy.
+alternatives:
+  - name: [Join in, Sign me up]
+    consequence: [[Send], [Count me in]]
+```
+
+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": { "requests": { "0": { "open": 3, "solved": 9 },
+                             "1": { "open": 5, "solved": 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 report`) next to what its personas scored offline, and
+the plan's `tones` are where the storylines are written.

+# Training a site
+
+A business describes itself in plain words: what it does, who comes to
+it, what it keeps track of and through which stages, and who handles
+what. The trainer, `portal plan` and `portal build`, turns that into a
+working content repo: a question series for every role, the state
+machines behind them, and a desk per handling role. No software is
+written for the business; the only thing produced is content, and
+every line of it is held to the lint (`portal lint`), which is the
+same code as the site, at the same version.
+
+The trainer was its own repo, uhhm/portal-trainer, until portal 0.6;
+its runs (`runs/`, the lab notebook of every site trained so far)
+stay there.
+
+## Build: structure from the plan, words from the model
+
+```
+portal build --plan plans/contractor.yaml --out out/nordvik \
+    --lint "portal lint" --llm "MODEL=sonnet engines/claude.sh"
+```
+
+A `plan.yaml` is a needs spec that also says what each form collects
+and, per need, `max_fields`: how many required fields that person
+will tolerate, taken from what the business said about them, never
+from the form. `build` refuses a form over its budget, and hands the
+budget to the verifier, so the check still means something after
+handover. Everything structural is derived from the plan with no
+model involved: the state machines (read off `stages`: walk the line,
+be turned down at any point, succeed only from the end, pass over
+`skippable` stages), the front door, a followup page per need, a gated
+directory per group with its desk and the pages only that group may
+open, and every button the machine allows. The verifier accepts the
+result by construction; what it still checks is the budget.
+
+The model writes words only, one page at a time, into a JSON object
+whose shape is fixed. Its strings are merged over built-in fallbacks
+key by key, so a bad reply costs wording, never a working site. `--llm-for <path prefix>` points the model at some pages only
+(`aggregates.yaml` for the mails alone); a reply in the wrong language
+for the plan is refused, and a mail that lost the submitter's link
+gets it back.
+
+### Onboarding from the plan
+
+`invites_by: [board]` on a plan, or `invited_by: [...]` on a group,
+puts an invite form on the inviting group's desk for each group it may
+fill, and a list of the invites sent. Portal does the rest (an account
+in Kanidm, the group, a one-time credential link) through `invite:` on
+the alternative. Every group with a desk invites into itself by
+default.
+
+### Rebuilding a live site
+
+`--words-from <repo>` lifts the words a repo already has back into the
+words map by what each card is (its bucket, the page it leads to, the
+group it invites into), across the whole repo, so a rebuild keeps
+hand-edited wording even when a card moves page (a door taken away, a
+need brought onto the front door) and
+adds only the new slots. Cards are matched by what they are (the
+bucket they record into, the page they lead to, a field's name, the
+group they invite into), not by position, so a rebuild that reorders
+or reshapes a page still hands each card its own words; on uhhm.no
+the live front door's three headings follow their buckets onto the
+new page. `--words
+<json>` overrides slots by page and may repeat, each file layered over
+the last (the words a build used, then a round of hand changes);
+`words.json` in the output is the words as used. See
+`runs/tomtervel-invites-2026-09-23` and `runs/uhhm-2026-09-23`.
+
+| Same contractor, same local model (nemotron 30B-A3B on ergo) | Free-form `generate` | `build` |
+|---|---|---|
+| A site the verifier accepts | never, in 6 rounds and 16 min | first try, 130 s |
+| Held-out personas, with descriptions | - | 8 of 8 |
+| Held-out personas, headings only | - | 7 of 8 |
+
+The wording numbers are from the re-score of 2026-09-22, one task per
+call (`runs/contractor-build-2026-09-21/rescore-2026-09-22/`). The
+first score, all tasks in one prompt, said 8 of 8 on headings only;
+the apprentice picking the building survey over "Join our carpentry
+team" only showed once no other visitor was in the prompt.
+
+For comparison, a Sonnet-class model writing everything free-form
+scored 8 of 10 on headings only and silently dropped a stage the owner
+had described. `build` cannot drop a stage: it never decides one. The
+denominators differ: the `build` site gives the two crew personas a
+one-option page, so they generate no task, and 8 of 8 is eight public
+personas where the `generate` number is ten. Held out means held out
+from the model: the plan's `who` and `wants` lines and the personas
+were written by the same person about the same needs, and the fallback
+heading is the need's `wants`, so the two are cousins.
+
+### The front door opens modestly
+
+A front door with more buttons than text leaves a visitor paralysed.
+So the built front door opens with what the business does, in one or
+two features and no button at all (`does:` on the plan, at most two,
+each `for:` a need so it speaks to one role and is headed by what
+that role gets); then a look-around card, things a visitor may
+inspect before asking for anything (`shows:`, each a portal resource
+block passed through verbatim, plus every public view the plan
+opens); and only then the offers, as more alternatives on the same
+page. Nothing is layered: doors still exist for a plan that wants
+them, but a second tier is what this shape is there to avoid, and on
+uhhm.no a flat front door with an opener routed better than the
+doored one.
+
+The house and its players: a role the opener invites in has to see
+its win, and the machine has to give it something to do after it
+sits down. `build` warns when a featured need gives the submitter
+neither a move (`moves_by: {<stage>: [submitter, ...]}`) nor a public
+view; a player with no move is a spectator.
+### Doors: a first question before the forms
+
+Five or six needs on one page is more than a visitor sorts through
+(the full contractor plan had six). A plan can put public needs
+behind `doors`: each door is one alternative on the front door
+leading to a page of its own, where the needs that name it sit.
+
+```yaml
+doors:
+  - id: patients
+    who: someone with pain or an injury, or a patient who already has a time here
+needs:
+  - id: new-patient
+    door: patients
+    ...
+```
+
+The door's page is a nav page, public, holding the forms. The spec
+gives such a need `max_steps: 2` and pins `via` to the door's heading,
+so the verifier walks both pages. A door nobody is behind, a door on
+an internal need, or a door named like a group is refused, and a
+front door over five alternatives is warned about. The visitor is
+scored on both pages: a persona who picks the wrong door is a
+misroute on `/`, one who picks the wrong form is a misroute on the
+door's page.
+
+Cases with doors: `plans/physio.yaml` (a physiotherapy clinic,
+patients and referrers), `plans/fotballklubb.yaml` (a football club,
+in Norwegian, parents and helpers), `plans/hire.yaml` (a machine hire
+yard, hiring and firms), and `plans/contractor-full.yaml` (three
+doors over six public needs). Each has an intake under `intakes/` in
+the business's own words and held-out personas.
+
+### What a plan can say about a form and its readers
+
+- `multiple: true` on a `select`: pick any number (portal renders
+  toggles). What a volunteer can do, which events, which committees.
+- `groups:` at the top, a list of `{ id, label }`: the groups with a
+  name the public knows, such as a vel's committees. A select with
+  `options_from: groups` offers exactly those labels, so the
+  application form and the desks cannot drift apart.
+- `watched_by: [public]`: an ungated read-only page of the bucket at
+  `/status/<bucket>`, linked from the followup page. Everyone sees
+  what was sent in and where it stands. `email` and `tel` fields, and
+  any field marked `private: true`, are projected away before it is
+  shown.
+- `events: { open: applied, active: onboarded }` on a need: the event
+  name a stage is entered by, where the builder's default (the stage's
+  own name, `received` for the first) is not what a live site already
+  has. Portal replays every record by event name, so a rebuild of a
+  site that holds records keeps the names its aggregates.yaml has, or
+  every record vanishes from its desk. `plans/uhhm.yaml` rebuilds
+  uhhm.no this way.
+- `mails: { <stage>: submitter | <address> }` on a need: who hears
+  when a case enters that stage, sent by portal the moment it moves
+  (portal 0.3.43, delivered by uhhm/gdo on the host). `submitter` goes
+  to the email the form collected, so the form must collect a required
+  `email`; an address is the treasurer, the board. The plan then needs
+  `mail: { from, reply_to }` at the top, the sender every mail carries
+  into `site.yaml`. The words model writes each mail's subject and
+  body (`aggregates.yaml` in the words map); the fallback says what
+  happened and, where the submitter has a move from that stage, the
+  link to make it.
+- `stages_text: { <stage>: <words> }` on a need: each stage in the
+  plan's language, where the ASCII id will not do (`ikke_lost` reads
+  as English). Used by the fallback mails, the "what happens next"
+  line, the desk buttons' fallback labels, and written into needs.yaml
+  as `stage_words` so the desk score describes an outcome in the
+  site's own words. With them, the vel's desks score 26 of 26.
+- `turned_down_from: [<stage>, ...]` on a need: the unfinished stages
+  a case can still be turned down from; omitted, every one. An
+  applicant is declined before they start and departs after, which
+  is what uhhm.no's live machine says and what two near-synonymous
+  desk buttons had been standing in for.
+- `reached_from: { <stage>: [<stage>, ...] }` on a need: where a stage
+  is entered from, when the line a case walks does not say it. Two
+  shapes need it and nothing else does - a case SENT BACK to a stage it
+  was already past (a building application returned for the drawing it
+  was missing, after the hearing turned something up), and a GOOD ENDING
+  PARTWAY ALONG (an authority that changes its own decision while it is
+  looking at the appeal, rather than passing it up to the board). A
+  stage named there is entered from exactly those stages and nowhere
+  else, so saying where a refusal may come from also says where it may
+  not: an applicant may withdraw from anywhere, and be refused only once
+  the papers are in, which `turned_down_from` could not express because
+  it was one list for every bad ending at once. Found by replaying a
+  building authority's real cases through portal's engine, which
+  refused three legal paths and accepted two illegal ones until the
+  plan could say this; see runs/permits-2026-09-25/README.md.
+- `attended_by:` on a need: who moves cases that no desk button moves,
+  an automation listening on the bucket's events, written into
+  aggregates.yaml as portal's own annotation for the reader.
+
+## Plan: the intake, read by a model, checked by a person
+
+```
+portal plan --intake intakes/contractor.yaml --out out/nordvik \
+    --personas sectors/construction/needs.yaml \
+    --llm "MODEL=nemotron-3.5-lightning:30b-a3b engines/ollama.sh"
+```
+
+This is the one step where a model decides structure: which needs the
+intake implies, the stages, who handles what, the form, the budget.
+Its YAML is parsed and validated exactly as `build` will, the errors go
+back to it, and what passes is written verbatim for a person to read
+before building from it. Personas are never asked of this model; they
+are attached from a file, and where their `need:` names an id the plan
+does not have, `plan` says so and leaves the mapping to the reader.
+
+`generate` (below) is the older path, a model writing pages free-form
+against the lint. It is kept for the record of what it measured.
+
+## How it works
+
+```
+ intake (plain words)
+    │
+    ▼  phase 1                       frozen after this phase: the generator
+ needs.yaml ───────────────────────  may not weaken the spec to pass
+    │
+    ▼  phase 2   ◄── iris findings, until it exits 0
+ aggregates.yaml + questions/** + desks
+    │
+    ▼  phase 3   ◄── misroutes from a blind visitor model
+ wording
+```
+
+1. **Needs.** The intake becomes `needs.yaml`: one need per kind of
+   person and thing they want, including the roles inside the
+   business. Each names the bucket the answer lands in, the group that
+   handles it, the states that count as finished, and the effort the
+   visitor will tolerate.
+2. **Structure.** Pages, state machines and desks are generated, then
+   revised against the lint, `iris check`, until every need is met:
+   a path within budget, a desk held by the right group, every
+   finished state reachable, no record stranding. The page-writing
+   model sees the needs and never the personas.
+3. **Wording.** A separate model plays each persona, blind, first with
+   headings only and then with descriptions. A misroute is a wording
+   defect and goes back to the generator. A rewrite that breaks
+   structure is reverted.
+
+Model output is only ever written to `aggregates.yaml`, `site.yaml`
+and `questions/**.yaml` inside the output directory.
+
+```
+portal generate --intake intakes/contractor.yaml --out out/nordvik \
+    --lint "portal lint" --llm engines/ollama.sh
+portal answer --tasks tasks.jsonl --llm engines/ollama.sh > answers.jsonl
+```
+
+`answer` puts one task per call to the visitor model, with the options
+shuffled per task and the call seeded from the task id: no visitor
+sees another visitor's situation, a heading's place on the page cannot
+carry the answer, and a rerun on the same site is the same experiment.
+The earlier runs under `runs/` answered all tasks in one prompt.
+
+The verifier is uhhm/iris, not code in this repo: it
+reads portal's own content types and ships in every portal release, so
+a generated repo's CI keeps enforcing its needs after handover.
+
+## LLM backends
+
+A backend is any command that takes a prompt on stdin and prints text.
+
+| Backend | Use |
+|---|---|
+| `engines/ollama.sh` | Local Ollama. `MODEL=qwen3:8b` answers a task in about two seconds on ergo's GPU and is the default visitor. Generation wants a larger model (`MODEL=qwen3.6:27b`), which runs mostly on CPU there. |
+| `engines/claude.sh` | Claude through Claude Code's own login (a Max or Pro subscription), no API key. `MODEL=sonnet` or `opus`, `EFFORT=low` by default. It drops any `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` from the environment, because a key outranks the login and a stale one fails every call. Log in once with `claude auth login`. |
+| `engines/anthropic.sh` | The Anthropic API, given a working `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` from the Console. That is separate, prepaid billing; a subscription does not cover it. |
+| `engines/mailbox.sh` | Writes each prompt to a directory and waits for a reply file: drive the generator from an agent session, or by hand. |
+
+The visitor and the generator should be different models. A model
+grading its own wording agrees with itself.
+
+## The onboarding site
+
+`portal-portal/` is the front end of this: a portal content repo whose
+front door is the intake interview. A submission lands in
+`onboardings` (`open → drafted ⇄ revising → live | declined`) and is
+worked from an owners' desk. Today the desk step is a person running
+`generate` and sending the link; the intake record already carries
+every field the generator reads, so the step that remains is a
+listener on `portal.answers.submitted` that runs it and pushes the
+draft to a new repo. It passes its own `needs.yaml`.
+
+## The whole card, not the heading
+
+A visitor never sees a bare heading and description. Portal renders a
+card: a button, an encouragement, one or more sections each with an
+icon, a title and a line of guidance, and the fields with their
+labels and placeholders. Since 2026-09-23 the builder fills all of it
+and the scorers read all of it.
+
+- **Slots.** Beside the heading and description, each form alternative
+  gets a button, an encouragement, an icon, a form title and guidance
+  line, and a placeholder per field. A door gets an icon and a "for
+  whom" line. Icons are picked from a fixed list of Iconify lucide
+  names; anything else is dropped.
+- **Context from the plan.** Every form alternative also carries two
+  sections built from what the plan already knows, before the form:
+  what happens next (the stages, in order, as one sentence) and who
+  reads it (the handling group and the contact). Their fallbacks are
+  true before a model has written a word; the model rewords them.
+- **Scoring.** `answer --repo <content dir>` shows the visitor each
+  option as its whole card (headings-only tasks stay headings only).
+  `rate --repo` does the same and asks a fourth question, "where": do
+  you know where you are, who this is for, and what the button does.
+  All four are controlled against the gutted twin.
+
+## Scoring a built site
+
+```
+portal score --site out/nordvik --out out/scored \
+    --iris /var/local/cargo-target/release/iris \
+    --llm "MODEL=qwen3:8b engines/ollama.sh"
+```
+
+One command for the whole grading, which every run under `runs/`
+before 2026-09-23 carried as its own `score.sh`: iris writes the
+visitor tasks and the simulation model, the blind visitor answers
+them with descriptions and with headings only, iris scores the
+answers (the misroutes are printed), and `rate` reads the cards. The
+two routing numbers land in `summary.json`, the rating in
+`rated/rate.json`. The pieces still run alone: `answer --tasks` for
+one visitor model against tasks iris wrote, and:
+
+```
+iris check --path out/nordvik/questions --needs-sim model.json
+portal rate --model model.json --out out/rated --repo out/nordvik \
+    --llm "MODEL=qwen3:8b engines/ollama.sh"
+```
+
+Four yes-or-no questions per persona (which option is mine, where am
+I and what does the button do, what will I be asked, what happens
+after I send it), each also put to a gutted
+twin of the page with headings, descriptions, the form and the
+followup removed. A question the twin still gets a yes on is not
+measuring the page, and `rate` says which. The followup page is read
+from the repo (`--repo`); without it "what happens next" is reported
+as not measured rather than as zero. LIX is over the prose only
+(question, descriptions, followup): headings and labels are not
+sentences and would pull every page down to "very easy". The
+`rate.json` in `runs/contractor-build-2026-09-21/` predates this and
+its `asked` and `next` columns are the old, pinned ones.
+
+`rate --repo` also scores the **desks**, the inside of the business,
+which reads button labels and nothing else: for every desk and bucket
+with two or more buttons, a worker is told what has just happened to
+a case (in the state's own words, never the label's) and picks the
+button among the ones a row in that state shows, in a rotated order.
+Scored per desk as right of total, with what each miss was mistaken
+for. Measured on 2026-09-24 on the live vel: 24 of 26, the misses
+one button each on the neighbour-help desk and the notice board. Two
+limits: the outcome is put from the state id, and a Norwegian id with
+its accents stripped (`ikke_lost`) reads as English even to a strong
+model; and a first version that offered every button of the bucket,
+not the row's, scored the same desks 17 of 26 and sent a rewrite
+chasing an instrument fault. A desk that scores full marks has labels
+a stranger to the business could press right.
+`prefer` has a positive control on record
+(`runs/tomtervel-opener-2026-09-23`, "The friendliness judge"): the
+live vel front door against a bureaucratic twin, friendlier 9 of 10
+to the live page and 0 to the twin. A pair that comes back "no
+preference" throughout is alike in tone, not an instrument that
+cannot see; and the rejected door rewrite that was judged clearer on
+5 of 10 needs routed worse across three seeds, so clarity as judged
+and routing as measured are different things, and routing decides.
+## Measured so far
+
+**Generated: a building contractor** (`runs/contractor-2026-09-21/`),
+from `intakes/contractor.yaml`, a Sonnet-class model generating.
+
+- Phase 1 derived six needs from the owner's prose, including one
+  nobody asked for: a project manager logging a phone enquiry, taken
+  from "enquiries arrive by phone, email and text and get lost".
+- Phase 2 was green on the first round: 14 files, four state machines
+  (`enquiries: open → quoted → won | lost`, `subcontractors` with an
+  `awaiting_papers` loop, `applicants`, `site_issues`), two desks.
+- Phase 3, its own personas: 10 of 10 in both modes. That number is
+  flattering, because in that run the pages were written with the
+  personas in view. Against ten **held-out** personas, with qwen3:8b
+  as the visitor:
+
+| Visitor could read | Routed right |
+|---|---|
+| Headings and descriptions | 10 of 10 |
+| Headings only | 8 of 10 |
+
+  A scaffolding firm asking "how do I get to do jobs for you?" chose
+  "Ask about working with us" (the hiring door). An attic conversion
+  chose "Get someone to look at a building". The generator has since
+  been changed to hide personas from the page-writing phase.
+
+**Built: the same contractor from a plan** (`runs/contractor-build-2026-09-21/`),
+nemotron writing words only, and re-scored one task per call the day
+after (`rescore-2026-09-22/` in it): 8 of 8 with descriptions, 7 of 8
+on headings alone, the miss being an apprentice bricklayer reading
+"Join our carpentry team" as not for them. `rate` on the same site,
+with the followup shown and every question controlled, passes its
+controls and puts the pages at LIX 18 to 35.
+
+**Built behind doors, 2026-09-22.** Five plans with a first question
+before the forms, each built and then scored by qwen3:8b one task per
+call, against held-out personas. Behind a door a persona is asked
+twice, on the front door and on the door's page.
+
+| Case | Words by | With descriptions | Headings only | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Machine hire (`hire`) | nemotron | 10 of 10 | 10 of 10 | doors that ask a question the visitor already knows the answer to |
+| Physio clinic (`physio`) | nemotron | 8 of 10 | 9 of 10 | "Book your first appointment" fails a daughter booking for her mother |
+| Football club, Norwegian (`fotballklubb`) | nemotron | 14 of 16 | 11 of 16 | three parents walk past "Er det på tide å melde inn?" |
+| Football club, Norwegian | Claude Sonnet | 13 of 16 | 12 of 16 | better sentences, same driver/sponsor blur |
+| Whole contractor (`contractor-full`) | nemotron | 18 of 22 | 15 of 22 | "Apply to work with us" and "Find a job with us" cross over for all four |
+| Tomter Vel, Norwegian (`tomtervel`), first plan | Claude Sonnet | 25 of 30 | 22 of 30 | "utstyr" for a swing, hearing input behind the wrong door |
+| Tomter Vel, plan revised 2026-09-23, whole card | Claude Sonnet | 31 of 38 | 30 of 38 | committees as groups, public lists, hearing input on the front door |
+
+Each run's README names the misroutes and what in the plan or the
+heading caused them. A stronger word model did not route better on
+the one plan built with both: routing is decided by which distinctions
+sit on one page, and the visitor grades that the same whoever wrote
+the words.

+**Planned: the contractor intake read by a local model**
+(`runs/contractor-plan-2026-09-22/`), nemotron, one round, 41 s. The
+plan passed every check `build` makes and a reader finds three
+structural misses in it the checks cannot: the crew's report made
+public, the "papers missing" stage dropped, and no need for the
+project manager logging a call. The person reading the plan is not
+optional.
+
+**Existing site: uhhm.no** (`runs/uhhm-2026-09-21/`), eight tasks.
+
+| Visitor model | With descriptions | Headings only |
+|---|---|---|
+| small LLM, blind | 7 of 8 | 5 of 8 |
+| qwen3:8b (Ollama) | 7 of 8 | 7 of 8 |
+| granite4.1:8b (Ollama) | 7 of 8 | 6 of 8 |
+
+All three send a paying client through **"Work happens through
+dialogue, not tickets"**, the collaborator door. Different models,
+same defect: that is what a wording problem looks like.
+
+**The noise floor, 2026-09-23** (`runs/spread.sh`, `answer --seed`).
+The same tasks answered by qwen3:8b with four seeds (0 is the run
+every score above used):
+
+| Run | With descriptions | Headings only |
+|---|---|---|
+| uhhm.no round 6, 15 tasks | 11, 10, 10, 10 | 12, 12, 7, 7 |
+| Tomter Vel with the opener, 38 tasks | 30, 29, 29, 31 | 26, 24, 26, 23 |
+
+With descriptions the visitor is steady: one task in fifteen, two in
+thirty-eight. On headings alone it is not: five of fifteen on uhhm.no
+between seeds, three of thirty-eight on the vel. A headings-only
+difference smaller than that is the visitor's mood. Compare
+descriptions-mode scores; read headings-only as a sanity check, and
+run several seeds before believing it.
+Small numbers, one run each. Leads, not measurements.
+
+## What else is here
+
+- `skill/SKILL.md` - the same procedure for an agent or a person
+  working by hand.
+- `sectors/` - needs specs to start from. `construction/` doubles as
+  the held-out persona set above.
+- `generator/reference.md` - everything the generating model is told
+  about portal content. When the lint rejects something the reference
+  did not warn about, the fix belongs there.
+
+## Toward a trained model
+
+Nothing here trains weights yet. What would make it possible is
+accumulating: every run leaves the intake, the needs, the pages at
+each revision and the scores. With a fast local visitor as the scorer,
+generating many variants per need and keeping the winners is cheap,
+and those winners are the fine-tuning set for a small generator. The
+verifier has to be trusted before any of that: a generator trained
+against a judge that is often wrong learns the judge.

+  We are the building authority for a municipality of twenty-one
+  thousand people. Anyone who wants to build, demolish, divide a
+  property or change what a building is used for has to come to us
+  first. We check the drawings against the zoning map and the building
+  regulations, we let the neighbours and the other authorities have
+  their say, and then we approve or refuse. We also decide exemptions
+  from the zoning rules, we inspect what is actually built, we sign off
+  finished work, and we deal with building that was never applied for.
+
+who_comes_to_us: >
+  Homeowners who want a garage, an extension or a new window, and who
+  have never read a regulation in their life. Architects and
+  engineering firms who file on behalf of owners; they have to be
+  approved by us before they may file anything. Neighbours who got a
+  notice in the post and do not agree with what is planned next door.
+  The other authorities we are obliged to ask: the road authority, the
+  fire service, the heritage office, the county. People who ring to say
+  something is going up behind their fence without permission. And
+  anyone who wants to sit down with us before they spend eighty
+  thousand on drawings.
+
+what_we_keep_track_of: >
+  Pre-application meetings: someone asks for one, we find a time, we
+  meet, and we write down what we told them so they can hold us to it.
+  Applications: they arrive, someone checks whether the papers are all
+  there, and if something is missing we write and ask for it, and the
+  twelve-week clock stops until they answer. Often we have to ask
+  twice. When it is complete we send it out to the neighbours and to
+  the agencies and wait six weeks. Then a case officer writes a
+  recommendation, and the head of section signs the decision: approved,
+  approved with conditions, or refused. People can withdraw at any
+  point, and quite a few do once they hear from the neighbours.
+  Exemptions: if what someone wants breaks the zoning rules they can
+  ask for an exemption. It rides along with the application but it is a
+  decision of its own, and we are not allowed to grant one before the
+  county has been asked.
+  Objections: a neighbour who got a notice writes to us within the
+  hearing period. Each objection belongs to an application. We register
+  it, the applicant gets to answer it, and the case officer has to
+  address every single one in the decision, by name.
+  Hearing answers: we ask an agency, they answer, or they do not, and
+  when the deadline has passed we go on without them.
+  Appeals: for three weeks after a decision anyone with an interest can
+  appeal it. We go through it ourselves first, and if we change our own
+  mind that is the end of it. If we do not, it goes to the appeals
+  board, who meet once a month and either uphold us or overturn us.
+  Inspections: we pick cases and go and look, on site. Either it is as
+  approved, or we write up what is wrong and set a date for it to be
+  put right, and then we go back.
+  Finishing: when the work is done the firm asks for a completion
+  certificate. If they want to move in before everything is done they
+  can ask for a temporary permission instead. We check what was
+  inspected and what is still outstanding before we sign anything.
+  Illegal building: someone reports it, we go and look, we write to the
+  owner and they have to explain themselves, and then they either apply
+  for it properly, take it down, or we fine them weekly until they do.
+  Approved firms: a firm sends us their registration, their insurance
+  and what they are qualified for, we check it, and then they are on
+  the list and may file applications.
+
+who_is_involved: >
+  The front desk logs what comes in over the counter and on the phone,
+  and keeps the archive. Four case officers carry the cases. The head
+  of section signs every decision and every exemption; a case officer
+  may not sign their own. Two inspectors are out on site most of the
+  week and write up what they find on a phone in a cold wind. The
+  appeals board is seven elected politicians who meet on the third
+  Tuesday of the month and read what we send them. The agencies are
+  outside the building altogether and only ever answer hearings. The
+  approved firms file applications and answer objections on behalf of

+  Velforeningen for Tomter, stiftet i 1947. Vi er et styre på sju og
+  sju komiteer som alle drives av folk på fritida: arrangementer
+  (17. mai-frokost, juletregranstenning, skøytedag), elvestien langs
+  Hobølelva, to lekeplasser vi holder i stand og får kontrollert hvert
+  år, høringssvar til kommunen, miljøgata i sentrum, pendlerforhold
+  mot Ruter, og trafikkforhold. 157 husstander betaler kontingent på
+  250 kroner i året.
+
+who_comes_to_us: >
+  Husstander som vil bli medlem, eller som har flyttet eller byttet
+  e-post og vil at vi skal ha det riktig. Folk som har sett noe i
+  nabolaget som ikke er som det skal: en farlig sving, en huske som
+  henger i én kjetting, en råtten planke på stien. Beboere som vil
+  si sin mening om en sak kommunen har på høring. Folk som vil hjelpe
+  til på et arrangement eller en dugnad, eller sitte i en komité.
+  Og naboer som har en tilhenger, en stige eller en hekksaks som står
+  ubrukt, og naboer som trenger å låne en. Eldre og nyopererte som
+  trenger en hånd med snømåking, handling eller en skyss, og naboer
+  som gjerne stiller opp hvis noen spør.
+
+what_we_keep_track_of: >
+  Medlemskap: en husstand melder seg inn, kassereren ser at
+  kontingenten er betalt, og noen melder seg ut når de flytter.
+  Meldinger om trafikk: noen melder fra, trafikkomiteen tar det opp
+  med kommunen eller veieier, og det blir ordnet eller avvist.
+  Feil på lekeplass og sti: noen melder fra, komiteen tar tak i det
+  og utbedrer det.
+  Høringsinnspill: en beboer sender inn, styret tar det med i svaret
+  eller lar være.
+  Frivillige: noen tilbyr seg, arrangementskomiteen tar kontakt og
+  setter dem opp, eller takker nei.
+  Komitésøknader: noen vil være med, styret plasserer dem eller sier
+  nei.
+  Utlegg: en i en komité har lagt ut for noe, kassereren godkjenner og
+  betaler ut, eller avviser.
+  Nabohjelp: noen ber om en hånd, nabohjelpsgruppa finner en som kan,
+  og den som fikk hjelp sier fra når det er ordnet. Naboer som vil
+  hjelpe melder seg, og kan trekke seg igjen.
+  Deling av utstyr: en nabo melder at de har noe å låne ut, eller
+  trenger å låne noe; styret legger det ut på oppslagstavla og tar
+  det ned når det er gjort.

+description: Onboard a business onto portal - interview them, write a plan, build the content repo (pages, aggregates.yaml, desks, mails) with the words written by a model, and score it until iris proves every need is met and a blind visitor routes the personas right. Use when someone wants a new portal site, a new flow on an existing one, a rebuild of a live one, or asks why visitors pick the wrong alternative.
+---
+
+# Portal trainer
+
+You are onboarding a business onto [portal](https://project.uhhm.no/uhhm/portal):
+a site that is one question per page, a few alternatives per question,
+each alternative optionally a form whose answer is recorded into a
+bucket with a state machine, worked from a group-gated desk, with a
+mail to the person when their case moves.
+
+You have a verifier. Use it instead of your judgment wherever it can
+speak: `iris check --path <repo>/questions` (uhhm/iris, the release
+matching the portal the site runs) exits non-zero until the structure
+meets every need in `<repo>/needs.yaml`.
+
+## The order of work
+
+1. **Interview, then write the plan.** Never pages first. `plan`
+   reads a filled-in intake into `plan.yaml` (a model decides needs,
+   stages, forms and budgets; a person reads the result before
+   anything is built). By hand, the same questions: who comes to the
+   business and what each of them wants, who inside handles it, what
+   "handled" means (the states a case ends in), what it costs the
+   visitor to ask (`max_fields`, from the person, never from counting
+   the form you would like). Start from a `sectors/` file when there
+   is one.
+2. **Say what the plan can say.** `does:` (one or two features, one
+   role each, the front door's opener that asks for nothing);
+   `shows:` (things to look at before asking); `doors:` only when the
+   offers are more than a page holds - measure it, a flat page with
+   ten offers scored worse than four doors; `mails:` per need (who
+   hears when a case enters a stage) with `mail: { from }` on the
+   plan; `moves_by: submitter` so the person has something to play
+   after sending; `invites_by` for onboarding; `events:` when
+   rebuilding a live site, so its records keep replaying.
+3. **Write personas in the visitor's words, not the business's.** Two
+   or three per need, one who would not use the trade's vocabulary.
+   Never reuse a phrase you intend to put on a page. They are held
+   out from every model that writes words.
+4. **Build.** `build --plan ... --lint iris` derives every file with
+   no model deciding structure; `--llm` lets a model write the words,
+   `--llm-for <path prefix>` only some of them (the mails alone);
+   `--words-from <live repo>` keeps a live site's hand-edited words
+   through a rebuild, following each card across pages; `--words
+   <json>` overrides slots. The builder refuses a reply in the wrong
+   language and puts back a submitter's link a model dropped.
+5. **Score.** `iris check --needs-tasks` then `answer`, then
+   `--needs-score`, with and without descriptions; `rate --repo` for
+   readability and the four understanding questions, mails included.
+   A card with no button is context, never a choice. Trust the
+   descriptions score; the headings-only score swings by a third
+   between seeds. Before believing a change, `runs/spread.sh` it over
+   three seeds and require it to beat the spread. A change that does
+   not is rejected and kept as a run.
+   - A **misroute** is a wording defect until the same one survives
+     every rewording; then it is a seam in the plan.
+   - Change the page or the plan, never the persona.
+6. **Keep the run.** `runs/<business>-<date>/` with the words as used
+   (`words.json`), tasks, answers, scores per seed, and a README with
+   what moved and why. Runs are the record of what worked.
+
+## What a page is
+
+Full reference: portal's `README.md`; a live example is
+`uhhm/questions`. The tree under `questions/` is the router
+(`index.yaml` is `/`, `_section.yaml` applies `qualifies` to a
+directory, nested non-index files are followups).
+
+```yaml
+# questions/index.yaml

+responsible: { name: ..., contact: ... }

+            - { from: quoted, to: won, label: Won }
+```
+
+## House rules for the copy
+
+- The page name is a question the visitor could ask themselves.
+- The front door opens modestly: what the business does for one or
+  two roles, then what there is to look at, then the offers. No
+  second tier.
+- Headings say what the visitor gets, in the visitor's words. Lead
+  with what a thing enables; never define it by what it isn't.
+- Every required field must be one the business will use to answer.
+- A followup page says who reads it, when they answer, and what the
+  visitor can do meanwhile. A mail says what happened and, where the
+  person has a move, the link to make it.
+- Code in English; the site in the business's language.
+
+## Engines
+
+Any engine that reads a task's `state` (`body` is the persona,
+`page` what the page says before its options) and `questions` and
+returns `{"id","choice","confidence"}` per line works. The visitor
+and the writer must be different models. See the repo README for what
+has been measured about each, and for the noise floor.

+//! Every such list has the same length, the site's *arity*, and a
+//! visitor is given one index for the whole site (a cookie, see
+//! `main.rs`), so they read one storyline from the front door to the
+//! mail they get. A single string is every storyline. What a visitor
+//! did is recorded with the index (`AnswerSubmitted.variant`), so the
+//! storylines can be compared on what people actually did, and nothing
+//! else about them.
+//!
+//! This is done to the YAML before the structs see it: the files are
+//! expanded once per storyline, and everything downstream keeps its one
+//! string per field. Keys that name things to the machine - a field's
+//! `name`, a select's `options`, states, groups, paths - never vary.

+//! 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`).

+//! The LLM is an external command: prompt on stdin, text on stdout.

+
+What a portal site can do - use what serves this business, leave the
+rest. Each is one line in the plan, and the builder does the wiring:
+
+- **Show, not only ask.** A bucket with `watched_by: [public]` becomes
+  a public list: its newest few records sit inline on the front door,
+  linked to the whole list, contact details pruned. What neighbours
+  reported and where it stands, which changes were approved, what is
+  on the noticeboard: a visitor who sees the place working trusts it,
+  and a person who reported something sees it being dealt with.
+  `public_states` shows only the stages worth showing.
+- **Stay in dialogue.** `mails` tells the person at the stages that
+  are about them, and a reply to that mail comes back to the case as
+  a note. `moves_by: { <stage>: [submitter] }` gives them a move of
+  their own through their link: confirm, withdraw, say it is solved.
+- **Let a decision do the work.** `grants` makes an approval into
+  membership: the person gets an account and a place in the group the
+  moment the case gets there; `deadlines` lets a stage end on its own
+  (a notice that expires, a request nobody took up); `invites_by` lets
+  a desk bring a person in without anyone touching an admin tool.
+- **Let nothing wait unseen.** `escalate: { open: { days: 7, to: styret } }`
+  sends a case nobody has moved in a week up to another group's desk,
+  where it sits with the same buttons until someone finishes it; the
+  desk that had it keeps it too, and may send it up itself. A desk job,
+  not a mail: the group sees it when they sit down.
+- **Let one record answer another.** A need `about` another need is
+  one answer per record of it, from that record's own row on the
+  public list: a neighbour saying "I can lend you that" to a notice, a
+  bid to a request. `mails: { open: owner }` sends the answer straight
+  to whoever posted the record, and the site keeps no queue - the
+  poster's inbox is the queue. The site never becomes a go-between.
+- **Keep some things for members.** A need with `door` and `enters_as`
+  is offered to everyone on the door and taken on the group's page
+  behind sign-in, with name and address filled from the account: a
+  seat on a committee for members, a discount for customers. The
+  group is one a decision `grants`, so nobody has to be waved in.
+- **Tell it two ways and find out.** `tones` lists tones of voice, one
+  storyline each: every word on the site is written once per tone, a
+  visitor reads one storyline throughout, and the site counts what
+  each brought in. Two is plenty; name them as a person would ("plain,
+  like a good notice on the door"; "warm, as a neighbour would put
+  it"). Leave it out to tell one story.
+- **Carry a text word for word.** `documents` puts bylaws or terms on
+  a page of their own, one card per section, from a markdown file
+  beside the plan. Nothing rewords them.
+- **Keep the people in portal.** `people: memberships` keeps every
+  group in portal itself: a desk invite is a place held until the
+  person signs in, a person is their phone number first, and any
+  sign-in provider that says who someone is will do (Vipps, for a
+  Norwegian association). Invite forms then ask for a phone number.
+  Without it, Kanidm makes an account per invite.
+- **Answer for the pages as a group.** `contact: { name, email, group }`
+  makes the contact a group's inbox rather than a person: no account
+  is made for it, and every member of the group may suggest changes
+  to the pages from the page itself.
+- **Make the choices real.** `groups` with labels, and a select with
+  `options_from: groups`, so a form offers exactly the committees or
+  teams that exist; `multiple: true` where a person can pick several.
+- **Place things.** A `location` field puts a pin on a map (where the
+  hazard is, where the job is), when the site has maps.
+- **Open with the business itself.** `does` says what it does for the
+  roles it exists for; `shows` puts its live content beside that.
+
+Rules:
+- One need per (kind of person, thing they want). Work inside the
+  business counts: a role recording or posting something is a need
+  with `enters_as`. The intake's "what slows us down" usually names one.
+- Groups are the roles the intake names, as snake_case identifiers.
+- The front door opens with `does` (at most two features, one role
+  each) and `shows`, then holds at most seven offers: doors plus needs
+  with no door. A door with no need behind it is refused; a door on a
+  need with `enters_as` is the way to the members' page. A role `does`
+  speaks for must have a move
+  of its own after sending (`moves_by` with `submitter`) or a public
+  view, or it is a spectator.
+- Every need whose form collects an email should tell the person on
+  arrival and on the decisions about them (`mails`); the plan then
+  needs `mail: { from }`.
+- Every feature on a card explains itself: a list says what one row is
+  and what its buttons do, a form says what to have ready. If an
+  alternative only works for someone who already has something, say so
+  in `requires` - a condition the reader meets only after filling the
+  form in has already cost them the filling in.
+- Needs that land in the same bucket must have the same stages,
+  done_when, skippable, moves_by, watched_by and handled_by.
+- Every required field is one the business will use to act on the
+  record. If the intake gives no reason to need it, make it optional or
+  leave it out. The required fields must not exceed max_fields.
+- Only `select` lists `options`, and it must list them.
+- Everything a person reads (who, wants, about, select options) is in
+  the intake's language. Everything a machine reads (ids, buckets,
+  groups, stages, field names) is plain ASCII: no æ, ø, å.
+- Write no personas.

+//! Understanding, readability, friendliness: three scores to iterate
+//! wording against, each measured the way that keeps it from sticking
+//! at its maximum.
+//!
+//! - **Readability** is counted, not judged: LIX, sentence length plus
+//!   the share of words over six letters, over the page's prose only -
+//!   the question, the descriptions and the followup - never headings
+//!   or field labels, which are not sentences and would drag the score
+//!   down to "very easy" whatever the prose says. Below 30 reads very
+//!   easily, 30-40 easily, 40-50 takes effort, above 50 is official
+//!   prose.
+//! - **Understanding** is three yes-or-no questions put to each persona
+//!   about the page in front of them: which option is theirs, what the
+//!   form will ask, and what happens after sending. The last needs the
+//!   followup page, which `rate` reads from the content repo (`--repo`)
+//!   because the sim export stops at the form. `rate` also puts all
+//!   three to a deliberately gutted twin of the page (headings replaced
+//!   by "Option 1", descriptions, the form line and the followup
+//!   removed). An instrument that still says yes to the twin is not
+//!   measuring the page, and `rate` says so, per question. Every page
+//!   on a need's path is rated: behind a door, "which" is decided on
+//!   the door page and the form's page carries "asked" and "next".
+//! - **Friendliness** is a preference between two versions, never an
+//!   absolute mark: `prefer` shows each persona both versions in both
+//!   orders; a pick that flips with the order counts as no preference.

+# Portal content reference (for the generator)
+
+Portal serves a site that is one question per page. Each page offers a
+few alternatives. An alternative may carry a form; submitting it
+records the answer into a *bucket* whose records move through a state
+machine, worked from a *desk*: a page gated to a group, listing the
+bucket with one button per allowed move. There is no other mechanism.
+Everything a business needs is expressed as: who answers which
+question, where the answer lands, who moves it, through which states.
+
+A content repo is these files and nothing else:
+
+```
+needs.yaml              what the business needs (the spec you are held to)
+aggregates.yaml         one state machine per bucket
+site.yaml               title and language
+questions/index.yaml    the front door, "/"
+questions/<name>.yaml   "/<name>"
+questions/<dir>/index.yaml      "/<dir>"
+questions/<dir>/_section.yaml   applies `qualifies` to the whole directory
+questions/<dir>/<name>.yaml     "/<dir>/<name>" - a followup page by default
+```
+
+## needs.yaml
+
+```yaml
+needs:
+  - id: kebab-case
+    who: the kind of person, in plain words
+    wants: what they want from the business
+    enters: /              # page they arrive on; default /
+    enters_as: <group>     # only when they are logged-in members of a group; omit for the public
+    via: <alternative name>  # only when several alternatives on the entry page record into the same bucket
+    lands_in: <bucket>

+    done_when: [<state>, <state>]   # every state that counts as finished, good or bad

+    max_fields: 4          # required fields the visitor will tolerate across the path
+    success: [<state>]     # the done_when states that are a good outcome for the business
+    stages: [open, <stage>, <stage>, <end>, <end>]
+                           # EVERY stage the business said a case goes through, first to last,
+                           # read off their own sentences one verb at a time ("they come in, we
+                           # go and look, we send a quote, we win or lose it" is five stages).
+                           # The state machine must have a state for each, or the verifier fails.
+personas:
+  - id: kebab-case
+    need: <need id>
+    text: >
+      Two or three sentences in the visitor's own voice and vocabulary.
+```
+
+Rules:
+- One need per (kind of person, thing they want). Internal work counts:
+  a role inside the business recording or posting something is a need
+  with `enters_as`.
+- States come from the business's own description of how a thing
+  progresses. A pipeline is not an inbox: "answered" is rarely the real
+  outcome.
+- `max_fields` is small on purpose. Reporting something from a phone
+  gets 3. A first enquiry gets 4 to 6.
+- Two or three personas per public need. At least one must avoid the
+  trade's own vocabulary. A persona must never quote a page heading.
+
+## aggregates.yaml
+
+```yaml
+aggregates:
+  - bucket: leads
+    initial: open
+    states:                 # state: { event: past-tense verb }
+      open: { event: received }
+      quoted: { event: quoted }
+      won: { event: won }
+      lost: { event: lost }
+    transitions:            # only moves the business described
+      open: [quoted, lost]
+      quoted: [won, lost]
+```
+
+The initial state should be `open` (a desk transition with no `from`
+means from `open`).
+
+## A page
+
+```yaml
+name: What brings you here?          # always a question the visitor could ask themselves
+description: >
+  One or two sentences.
+responsible: { name: <person or team>, contact: <email> }   # required on every entry page
+alternatives:
+  - name: <heading>                  # what the visitor picks. Must work WITHOUT the description.
+    description: >
+      One or two sentences.
+    action: /received                # absolute path of an existing page
+    consequence: [Send]              # the button label
+    record_as: leads                 # omit for a pure navigation alternative
+    features:
+      - name: About the building
+        description: Optional line of guidance.
+        requirements:
+          - { name: email, label: Email, type: email }
+          - { name: problem, label: What is wrong, type: textarea }
+          - { name: urgency, label: How soon, type: select, options: [This week, This month, No rush] }
+          - { name: address, label: Address, optional: true }
+```
+
+- Field types: `text` (default), `email`, `tel`, `textarea`, `date`,
+  `select` (must list `options`). Use no other types.
+- Every `action` must name a page that exists. After a recording
+  alternative, send the visitor to a followup page that says who reads
+  it, when they answer, and what happens next. A followup page is a
+  top-level file with `followup: true`, or any non-index file in a
+  subdirectory. Give it one alternative with `action: /` to go back.
+- A page for members of a group sets `qualifies: <group>` (or sits in a
+  directory whose `_section.yaml` does). Only `enters_as: <group>`
+  needs can use it.
+- Every bucket that is recorded into must be read by a desk.
+
+## A desk
+
+```yaml
+# questions/desk/_section.yaml
+qualifies: project_managers
+```
+```yaml
+# questions/desk/index.yaml
+name: What came in?
+responsible: { name: ..., contact: ... }
+alternatives:
+  - name: Leads
+    description: One line on what to do with them.
+    action: /desk
+    consequence: [Confirm]
+    features:
+      - name: ""
+        description: ""
+        resource:
+          source: { kind: kv, bucket: leads }
+          requires_group: project_managers
+          transitions:
+            - { to: quoted, label: Quote sent }
+            - { to: lost, label: Not for us }
+            - { from: quoted, to: won, label: Won }
+            - { from: quoted, to: lost, label: Lost }
+```
+
+- One desk directory per handling group; one alternative per bucket
+  that group handles.
+- Offer every move the state machine allows and no other. A state with
+  no move out of it, on the way to a finished state, strands records.
+- A group may read a bucket it does not handle: the same `resource`
+  block with its own `requires_group` and no `transitions`.
+
+## site.yaml
+
+```yaml
+title: <business name>
+lang: en
+```
+
+## Language
+
+Everything a person reads is written in the intake's `language`: page
+names, headings, descriptions, field labels, button labels, the
+`who`/`wants` of each need, and the personas. Write it the way people
+in that trade and country actually speak, not as a translation.
+Everything a machine reads stays plain ASCII snake_case or kebab-case:
+need ids, persona ids, bucket names, state names, field `name`s, file
+names and paths. Letters such as æ, ø and å belong in the copy and
+never in an identifier. Set `lang` in site.yaml to the intake's code.
+
+## Copy rules
+
+- Headings say what the visitor gets, in the visitor's words.
+- Lead with what a thing enables. Never define something by what it
+  is not. No negations in headings.
+- Two alternatives must never be separable only by a distinction the
+  business makes and the visitor does not.
+- Every required field is one the business will use to answer.
+
+## The verifier
+
+`question_lint` runs after every attempt. Non-zero exit means you are
+not done. Its messages are exact:
+
+- `no path from ... records into ...`: no chain of alternatives from
+  the entry page reaches an alternative with that `record_as`.
+- `the path asks for N required field(s), over the budget`: mark fields
+  `optional: true` or drop them.
+- `no desk gated on "g" reads "b"`: add the desk.
+- `"g" cannot move a record to "s"` / `records strand in "s"`: the desk
+  is missing a transition the state machine allows, or the state
+  machine is missing the edge.
+- `action ... does not match any declared question id`: the page does
+  not exist.
+- `entry page ... names no one responsible`: add `responsible`.
