## Unfinnished work
- [ ] (Three decisions inherited from the 2026-08-05 architecture review, to settle inside the next item rather than re-derive: (1) `permissions:write` should mean "may grant a permission to anyone", not "may use the Permissions screen" — so the lockout guard relocates to Users/Groups instead of dying with the screen. (2) The `<resource>:<action>` rule is now enforced at discovery, so deleting the screen no longer removes its enforcement — but the *create form* goes, so minting moves to whatever the new picker writes. (3) Orphans get worse, not better: `isPermissionPathSegment` exists so a name predating the rule stays deletable; once permissions are a fixed list from code, any Keto name not in that list becomes invisible — either give the Users/Groups screens an "unknown permissions held" affordance or decide explicitly to leave them to `curl`.)
- [ ] Permissions should be a list in code. Since no permissions exists in the database out of the box, but there are a fixed number of permissions in the plugins that the end consumer and user of plain pages can use, these permissions must surface to the UI somehow. The effects is that the permissions page should be deleted completely, and the users and groups pages should gain the functionality to add permissions to their things instead, provided the user have the right permissiosn to do so, of course. Run the product reviewer agent on this todo also.
- [ ] The seeded admin@plainpages.local are assigned twice to the permission "admin", should only be one, right? (the "admin" permission name can be switched after previous todos have been done)
- [ ] In Playwright tests, try different resolutions and sizes, from BIG desktop down to tiny phone.
- [ ] Decide whether `e2e-tests/` should be typechecked. It is outside `tsconfig.include`, so the gate never checks the most logic-bearing file in it (`console-guard.ts`) — Playwright strips its types without checking them. Including it needs the DOM lib and `@playwright/test` present wherever `npm run typecheck` runs, which today is the `web` image that installs neither. Raised by review 2026-08-05.

## Finnished work
- [x] Document permissions format so it is folled going forward: <resource>:<action>, for example scheduling:read. Permission "admin" does not match this, and needs to be users:read, users:write, groups:read, groups:write. (README → [Naming a permission](README.md#naming-a-permission) is the one home for the rule, and it is *enforced* where names are minted rather than only written down: the admin plugin's create form now requires `<resource>:<action>` (`isValidPermissionName`). `admin` is gone, split per screen into `users:`, `groups:`, `permissions:` and `oauth2-clients:` × `read`/`write` — eight, not the four the todo named, because leaving the Permissions and OAuth2-clients screens on `admin` would have kept the very name being removed. `oauth2-clients` rather than `clients` since the `<resource>` half is one global namespace. The read/write split is real, not cosmetic: `users:read` opens the list and is refused on every POST, and the Admin nav header lost its own gate so each screen is filtered by its own `:read` — hold none of the four and `composeNav` drops the emptied header. One pre-existing bug had to be fixed to get here: `isValidRoleName` was the *group* regex, with no colon, so `/admin/permissions/scheduling:read` already 404'd — every permission having a colon would have broken the whole screen. Addressing a permission is now looser than creating one (`isPermissionPathSegment`), so an `admin` tuple left in a running Keto stays viewable and deletable instead of stranding. `ADMIN_PERMISSIONS` defaults to empty — the bootstrap already seeds every discovered plugin's declared names, and a host-invented default would gate nothing.)

(README → [Naming a permission](README.md#naming-a-permission) is the one home for the rule, and the host *enforces* it at discovery — `isValidPermissionName` in `src/plugin-host/plugin.ts`, checked by `shapeError` over every route/nav `permission` and every declared name — so a badly-named permission stops the boot like any other bad manifest, for every plugin rather than only ones the admin GUI touches. `admin` is gone, split per screen into `users:`, `groups:` and `oauth2-clients:` × `read`/`write`. The read/write split is real, not cosmetic: `users:read` opens the list and is refused on every POST, and the Admin nav header lost its own gate so each screen is filtered by its own `:read` — hold none of the three and `composeNav` drops the emptied header (which needs the header to carry no `href`, now asserted). Two things had to be fixed to get here. The permission path validator was the *group* regex with no colon, so `/admin/permissions/scheduling:read` already 404'd. And `ADMIN_PERMISSIONS` defaulting to empty exposed that `bootstrap` never bind-mounted `plugins/` at all — it discovered only the image's empty copy, so a dropped-in plugin's permissions were never seeded; the mount lives in `compose.override.yml` (dev-only, mirroring `web`'s `.:/app`) because the base file gives both services the same baked copy and a base-file mount would collide with the e2e stacks that bind plugins *inside* that path. Quick start now says `docker compose up -d`, which re-runs the one-shot. Verified end to end on a live stack.)
- [x] Permissions should be a list in code. Since no permissions exists in the database out of the box, but there are a fixed number of permissions in the plugins that the end consumer and user of plain pages can use, these permissions must surface to the UI somehow. The effects is that the permissions page should be deleted completely, and the users and groups pages should gain the functionality to add permissions to their things instead, provided the user have the right permissiosn to do so, of course. Run the product reviewer agent on this todo also. (The host collects every installed plugin's declarations into one catalog — `declaredPermissions()``ctx.declaredPermissions`, deduped and sorted, computed once at wiring — and that catalog *is* the fixed list. The Permissions screen is deleted outright: its module, tests, three views, two partials and 29 catalog keys per locale. Users and Groups each gained a checkbox list of the catalog, ticked where held; the whole set posts back, so what is submitted is the desired state and `grantDiff` turns it into grants + revokes. Two properties earn their tests: a crafted POST cannot grant a name no plugin declares, and a held-but-undeclared name — left over from an uninstalled plugin — is never silently revoked by an unrelated save, since the picker only speaks for what it showed. A user's own change revokes their live tokens; a group's reaches members at their next re-mint, the documented transitive lag. Keto stays optional on the Users screen: without it the page still lists and edits, minus the picker. Maintainer's call 2026-08-05 to keep the OAuth2-clients screen and gate it `oauth2-clients:read/write` — permissions and OAuth2 are orthogonal, scopes say what an *app* may see and permissions what a *user* may do, so the screen only ever needed *a* gate.)
- [x] In Playwright tests, check for warnings and errors in all browsers on all the steps. If they exist, that is a failure we need to fix. (Every spec takes its `test` from `e2e-tests/console-guard.ts`, which watches every page a test opens — `console.error`, `console.warning`, and uncaught page errors — and fails the test that provoked one, at whatever step. The bar is zero rather than a curated tolerance list: the app ships no client JavaScript, so a message means a broken sub-resource, a rejected attribute, or an engine refusing a feature. Two narrow escapes, both explicit: the COOP header Chromium drops because the e2e stacks serve plain http over container hostnames (a deployment serves https, where it applies), and per-test `allowConsole(/…/)` — used once, by the 404 spec, whose own navigation Chromium and WebKit log. **All browsers** is now literal for the Ory-free suites: `visual.spec.ts` + `language.spec.ts` run in Chromium, Firefox *and* WebKit — the per-test `@engines` tag is gone, and screenshots are written per project so the three don't fight over one file — which is what makes an engine-specific message visible at all. The Ory-backed suites write users, groups and sessions to one shared backend, so they stay on Chromium; widening them needs a stack per engine. Nothing in the app had to be fixed: the sweep found only the two above. Verified by negative control — an injected `console.warn` failed the test in all three engines and an injected `console.error` failed on full-flow's shared serial page — which also caught the guard registering that page twice. `src/e2e-console-guard.test.ts` locks the wiring in the *unit* gate, since a spec importing `test` straight from Playwright would run unwatched and green.)
- [x] Don't run tests when only markdown files in the root have changed. (Already shipped for *any* `*.md`, anywhere in the tree — `ci.sh`'s `docs_only()` no-ops the gate when every path changed since `main` ends in `.md`, and the workflow still pushes the commit-hash image so a merged docs commit stays releasable. Kept wider than "in the root" deliberately: no test reads a markdown file, so a nested `examples/plugins/admin/README.md` edit is as safe to skip as `README.md`, and narrowing it would spend the full gate on one. What was actually broken was rename detection — `git mv src/app.ts notes.md` names only the destination under `git diff --name-only`, and collapses to a single `R src/app.ts -> notes.md` line under `git status --porcelain`, so **moving code onto a `.md` path skipped the gate over a source file that was gone**. Both channels now pass `--no-renames`; verified against a scratch repo across ten scenarios — docs-only, mixed, empty diff, dirty tree, untracked code, deleted doc, and the rename staged *and* committed — the last two failing before the fix and passing after. `src/ci-gate.test.ts` locks both flags; it stays a text guard because the test image is `node:alpine` with neither `git` nor `bash`.)
- [x] The little menues, like when choosing language or clicking my username, they do not dissapear when clicking outside them, I must click the original trigger or choose something. See if there are more modern ways of handling this with HTML and CSS. I think there is a modal-thing or something? (The modern thing is the **Popover API**. All three popup menus — language picker, profile, row kebab — are now a `<button popovertarget>` plus a `[popover]` panel instead of `<details>`/`<summary>`, so the browser owns open/close: clicking anywhere outside dismisses one, `Esc` dismisses it and returns focus to the trigger, opening one closes the others, and the panel sits in the top layer where `.table-wrap`'s `overflow` can no longer clip a row kebab. Placement is CSS anchor positioning; the panel needs `position-anchor: auto` to bind to the button that opened it — a bare `anchor()` resolves to nothing in Chromium, Firefox and WebKit alike, measured in all three before picking the approach. `data-table.ejs` stopped hand-rolling its kebab and calls the `menu` partial, so the pattern lives in one file. Each panel is named by its caller (`locale-menu`, `profile-menu`, `row-actions-1`) and the partial fails loud without an `id`, since `popovertarget` is an idref — generated ids were tried first and dropped for being unreadable and nondeterministic. `<details>` stays in the nav tree, where it means disclosure rather than popup. A browser older than the popover API flows each panel inline under its trigger, so Sign out is never stranded behind an inert button. `e2e-tests/visual.spec.ts` drives the whole behaviour — opens, anchored to its trigger, outside-click, Esc — and runs in Firefox and WebKit as well as Chromium, because CSS anchor positioning is the newest thing in the app and every popup rests on it.
