The shared-record accessibility suite had four tests for five states: success
and empty shared one, and neither of them ever entered an empty state. A
browser run reports what it ran and never what it did not, so a state nobody
wrote a test for produced exactly the same output as a state that passed.
The five states are enumerated in a fixture, each test names its state, and a
fast guard reads the spec back against the list — a state that loses its test,
its anchor, or one of its proofs now fails in the ordinary gate rather than at
the point somebody notices the spinner is silent.
Every state runs four proofs: an axe scan, the document reading order, either
a keyboard reach with a visible focus indicator or a live-region announcement
for the one state with nothing to press, and, where the copy is something a
person has to act on, that it renders as content rather than as muted meta and
clears the contrast floor. The retry control on the read-failure card gained a
stable slot so the keyboard proof targets the affordance rather than its
wording.
The eight release journeys are enumerated in the same fixture.
Accepting, revoking and handing back a grant had no failure rendering at all.
The request came back refused, or never left the machine, and the panel did
nothing: the confirm dialog had already closed, the list did not change, and
the only signal was the absence of one. The two refusals that most need a
reader were the two that arrived most quietly — an invitation that had lapsed
before it was opened, and the last guardian being told they may not hand back
a profile that would then have nobody looking after it.
Each refusal now renders on the row it belongs to, announced, in content
contrast, beside a control that runs the same act again. The sentences are
split by what the person does next rather than by status code, so lapsed and
withdrawn read differently and the guardian refusal names the way out. A
request that never reached the server says so instead of reporting a refusal
nobody issued.
The failed state is read off the mutation rather than copied into local state
from onError: the copy is what goes stale, and the mutation already knows
which row it was for. The invitation form keeps every field it had, and only
a successful send clears them.
Every action a manage-level route files now renders as its own sentence in
the owner's activity view, in all six locales. A write delegate can only add,
so the generic "made a change" was at least the right shape of fact; a manager
changes and removes entries the owner made themselves, and the generic line
withholds the only part that matters — whether a reading was corrected or
deleted, whether a dose history was purged.
The inventory reads the routes and calls the map rather than matching `case`
in its source, so an action that falls through to the fallback fails, and it
follows each resolved key into all six bundles. Every sentence interpolates
the actor's name and nothing else: the audit table is not encrypted and a
value in a verb line would be a health figure in a second store.
The revoke dialog's retention disclosure no longer depends on which of two
requests answers first. `retentionDays` rides the grant list, so a client
holding a row to revoke holds the window it must state, and the branch that
omitted the sentence is gone.
- document srcSet, poster, object data, form action, window.open,
sendBeacon, CSS url() and spread props as shapes this matcher cannot
see, alongside the two trees it walks
- match the imperative `.src =` form, anchored to a real occurrence so
the new leg cannot pass by matching nothing
The detail sheet loaded the original twice on open — the inline preview
and the download href each fetched and decrypted the whole blob — and
for a non-inline document the old href had cost nothing until clicked.
- one loader, lifted to the sheet, and only for a document that renders
inline; everything else fetches at click time
- make the download a real disabled control that reflects a failed
fetch: href="#" with aria-disabled announces unavailable and still
activates, and it ignored the failure entirely
Removing the Vary block left the disk-layer case green: it asserted what
is IN the cache, and the claim is what the cache will SERVE. On the
external-switch path nothing wipes those entries — the app never
initiated the switch — so Vary is the only thing between a cached
delegated response and the next request under another context.
- assert cache.match() hits under the stored context and misses under
the new one; it fails when the Vary is removed
- correct the acceptance map and the client docblock to claim exactly
what executes: no zero-entry count, no offline leg
data-slot rides {...rest} onto DateField's hidden ISO input, so the
invitation spec asserted visibility on an element that can never be
visible and typed into nothing. Use the primitive's data-testid, which
lands on the overlay a person edits, and assert the mirror took the
value.
The batch path had no unique-violation handling at all, so one duplicate
anywhere in the transaction answered 500 — indistinguishable from a
server fault, and what every client retries against. The single path
narrowed with instanceof, the form prisma-errors.ts exists to replace.
A shared cache is one reverse proxy away, and without Vary the first one
to appear would key a delegated record response on URL alone and hand it
to the next request under a different context. Appends rather than
replaces, so a route that already varies keeps what it had.
- the idempotency arm refuses only a wrongly-asserted context; an admin
route behind unfenced requireAdmin still serves a headerless request
- the epoch trigger does not fire on a statement that names record_epoch
without moving the selector; the source guard is what covers that
- keep the record entries until /api/auth/me has answered: clearing the
cache under a mounted observer made the held tab refetch at once
- exclude the account cell from the cancellation, and swallow a repeat
trigger, so a burst of 409s cannot kill the request that ends the hold
- read the account payload network-only; the default staleTime would
have returned the very context the browser was told is wrong
A selector pointed at a record whose grant has lapsed reports the same
disagreement on every /api/auth/me, so routing it to the hydration gate
rendered a permanent spinner with no controls. Expiry reaches this state
on its own: revocation clears the selector inside its transaction and
expiry does not.
- treat an unprovable context as a refusal, which paints the door with
the button back to one's own record
- check the refusal ahead of the hydration gate, so neither trigger can
render behind a spinner again
A browser-issued <img src>, <iframe src> or <a href download> cannot
carry the record-session assertion, so the fence refused all three on
any session that had been inside a shared record — permanently, since
none of them will ever send a header.
- add a structural guard: no client file may name a record-fenced route
in a src=, href= or window.location sink
- fetch the thumbnail, the inline preview and the download through the
app transport and hand the DOM an object URL, revoked on unmount
- make the two API probes in the managed-profiles browser spec assert
the same context the app beside them asserts
- give every acceptance case a stable id and assert the mapping from a
runnable artifact, recording which cases execute in the ordinary gate
and which await the browser stage
- add the browser spec for the cases no cooperative layer can reach:
peers reconciling to an exact context, an aborted switch response, a
closed initiator, a delayed response, and the offline disk layers
- attach the asserted context to every same-origin request inside the
three fetch entries, so no call site classifies itself
- discard a response whose echoed context contradicts the adopted one;
serve one that carries no echo, which is what keeps the public poll
and every actor surface working
- adopt from /api/auth/me and the switch response, and from nothing else
- send the epoch on every switch and retry once after reconciling
- hold and reconcile on the 409 instead of leaving the record
- evaluate the fence in the wrapper above findCached, so a stale request
neither replays a body, learns a cell exists, nor inserts a claim
- return the refusal rather than throwing: one route composes the
wrapper outside apiHandler, where a throw escapes the envelope
- read the claim and the session's own context on one session lookup
- both record resolvers check the fence after authentication and before
the carrier, off the one session row that also decides the scope
- POST /api/account/switch takes an optional expectedEpoch and writes
conditionally, so concurrent switchers resolve to one outcome
- GET /api/auth/me publishes the context a browser bootstraps from
- every response that resolved a record scope echoes it back
- regenerate the API contract
- add an import-free contract module both bundles can name, holding the
header names, the parse and the verdict
- add the server fence: header read, wide-event stamp, and the refusal
- add RecordSessionChangedError as a third sibling on the existing
sharing-error arm, so the 409 needs no new serialisation branch
- add sessions.record_epoch, owned by a BEFORE UPDATE trigger so the
ON DELETE SET NULL path and raw SQL writes cannot skip it
- normalise pre-existing rows so epoch zero means never switched
- project the epoch off the row getSession already loads
- Wait for a validated account scope before warming record reads
- Abort scoped preloads and discard handoffs across record transitions
- Cover malformed scope reloads and fresh own-record recovery
- Time out stalled provider sends without unhandled late rejections\n- Record a transient timeout outcome for cascade fallback\n- Cover timeout fallback with unit and integration tests
- Exclude and erase egress claims with recipient-side lookup support\n- Serialize data wipes with managed-profile Guardian authorization\n- Cover last-Guardian and queued-claim wipe races
- Commit a final authorization claim under the lifecycle lock\n- Keep provider calls and retry outcomes outside database transactions\n- Retain authorization claims with notification delivery diagnostics
- keep shared navigation independent of actor module preferences\n- open scoped records at their first allowed destination\n- announce record access and kind in doorway names
- prove profile uses a read-only shared route\n- cover scoped navigation independent of actor module flags\n- require action, access, and kind in record button names
