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and not about what was withdrawn.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

portal documentation
Portal turns a Git repo of YAML into a running site. Almost everything here is about that YAML: what a content repo may say, and what the engine does with it.
| Architecture | What the engine is made of and where each piece lives in the source. |
| Content reference | Every key a content repo may write, and what it does. |
| State machines | aggregates.yaml: stages, who moves a case, mail, deadlines, memberships. |
| Access | How the Cedar policy is compiled from content, and who may ask it what. |
| Operations | Releasing, deploying, adding a site, environment variables. |
| Filesystem routes | Why the questions/ tree is the router. |
Two repos in the same family carry their own docs:
