Eliminates the manual cascade-trace ritual when debugging "why can't
alice see /Project-X" reports. New endpoint returns the resolved
policy chain plus the active decider's verdict in JSON:
GET /.profile/effective-policy?path=/Project-X/sub/&email=alice@…
Response shape:
{
"path": "/Project-X/sub/",
"email": "alice@…",
"decision": true,
"decider_kind": "*policy.InternalDecider",
"chain": {
"has_any_file": true,
"levels": [
{"index": 0, "zddc_path": "/.zddc", "exists": true,
"acl": {...}, "admins": [...],
"matches_email": false, "decision_at_level": "no_match"},
{"index": 1, "zddc_path": "/Project-X/.zddc", "exists": true,
"acl": {...}, "matches_email": true, "decision_at_level": "allow"}
]
}
}
Per-level email matching reuses the same MatchesPattern code the live
evaluator uses, so the trace can never disagree with the actual
verdict — and when ZDDC_OPA_URL points at an external OPA, the
decision goes through that OPA, making the endpoint a useful smoke
test for OPA wiring too.
Admin-only via the existing /.profile gate (404 to non-admins).
Required params; 400 if either is missing or path doesn't escape ROOT.
Test coverage:
* TestServeProfileGateMatrix: anonymous → 404, non-admin → 404,
admin without params → 400 (gate cleared, validator rejected)
* TestServeProfileEffectivePolicy: full payload-shape assertion
against a worked-example fixture (closed project where alice is
allow-listed but bob is not)
Also fixes pre-existing doc drift: README's "Admin Debug Page"
section referenced /.admin/whoami|config|logs but the actual code
mounts /.profile/* (the rename predates this PR; the doc was stale).
Closes the "/.admin/effective-policy debug endpoint" item from the
federal-readiness future-work list.

Add an internal access-decision boundary that all handlers go through
instead of calling zddc.AllowedWithChain directly. Two implementations
ship:
* InternalDecider — wraps the existing zddc.AllowedWithChain. The
default. No new dependencies, identical semantics to the legacy
code path. ZDDC_OPA_URL=internal (or unset).
* HTTPDecider — POSTs the canonical OPA wire format
(POST /v1/data/zddc/access/allow with {"input": {...}}, response
{"result": true|false}) over HTTP, HTTPS, or a Unix-domain socket.
For federal customers running their own audited Rego policies
alongside zddc-server. ZDDC_OPA_URL=http(s)://… or unix:///….
External-mode failure semantics: unreachable / non-2xx / malformed
response → fail closed (deny) by default with a WARN log. Operators
who prefer availability over correctness flip with ZDDC_OPA_FAIL_OPEN=1.
The decider is constructed once at startup, plumbed through ACLMiddleware
into the request context. Handlers retrieve it via DeciderFromContext;
non-request callers (fs.ListDirectory, EnumerateProjects, enumerateAccess)
take it as an explicit parameter.
zddc.ZddcFile and zddc.ACLRules gain JSON tags so external Rego authors
get idiomatic input shape (acl.allow, admins, …) instead of Go field
names (ACL.Allow, Admins, …).
Test coverage:
* InternalDecider parity tests against zddc.AllowedWithChain (every
documented cascade scenario: empty chain, leaf-allow-wins, leaf-
deny-beats-parent, leaf-allows-what-parent-denies, deepest-match-
wins, etc.)
* HTTPDecider happy-path test (canonical wire format)
* Fail-closed / fail-open / malformed-response tests
Production binary size unchanged (no new deps; HTTP transport is
stdlib net/http). 11 ACL call sites migrated. End-to-end verified
against the worked-example layout in zddc/README.md.

Four entangled change-sets from one session, committed together because
their file-level overlap (build.sh, docs, embedded/, watcher.go, …) makes
post-hoc separation noisy:
* fix(archive): nested-party + folder-type cascade
transmittalIsUnderVisibleParty short-circuited on the first matched
party segment, only checking the immediately-next segment for a
folder-type marker. Paths like BM/sub/Issued/<txn> bypassed the Issued
toggle entirely. Replaced with isUnderHiddenFolderType (full-path) +
any-segment party match. Eight new Playwright cases pin the contract
in tests/archive-cascade.spec.js.
* refactor(zddc-server): scope .archive index by project
archive.Index now buckets by top-level segment
(.ByProject[<project>].ByTracking[<tracking>]). Resolve and AllEntries
take a project parameter; handler extracts it from contextPath's first
segment. /.archive/ at root returns 404 — stable refs must be
project-rooted. Within-project (tracking, rev) collisions emit a WARN
with both paths. Cross-project tracking-number duplicates no longer
collide.
* perf(zddc-server): lazy-load expensive bits of the profile page
serveProfilePage now ships a minimal shell: Email, EmailHeader,
IsSuperAdmin (root .zddc only). Visible projects + admin subtrees +
editable scaffolds populate client-side via /.profile/access. Subtree-
admin scaffolds live in <template id="tmpl-subtree-admin">; pure
non-admins receive no live admin form. ScanZddcFiles now memoized,
invalidated on .zddc events by the watcher and writer helpers.
* feat: lockstep release + redesigned releases page
sh build.sh --release [version|alpha|beta] is the canonical lockstep
cut: every tool (5 HTML + zddc-server) bumps to the same coordinated
version. zddc-server binaries now committed under website/releases/
with the same cascade chain as HTML tools (no more Codeberg release-
asset publication). zddc/release.sh deprecated (kept as a guard);
shared/publish-codeberg-release.sh removed.
Releases page redesigned as an action-first install guide: hero +
version dropdown that rewires every download link, channel chips for
always-visible alpha/beta access (state-aware labels: "tracks stable"
vs "active dev"), Path A (zddc-server with platform auto-detect from
UA), Path B (5 standalone tool HTMLs), version-pinning empowerment
narrative (drop-a-copy vs .zddc apps: cascade), channels explainer.
Channel-link verifier asserts every <tool>_{stable,beta,alpha}.html
resolves at the end of every build. Bootstrap-friendly: zddc-server
artifact checks skip until the first lockstep cut anchors the chain.
Tests: 167 Playwright + all Go packages green.
Docs: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, zddc/README.md updated.

Replaces the super-admin-only /.admin/ surface with a public-by-default
/.profile/ page that layers admin tools server-side based on the
caller's effective access:
- Universal (everyone, anonymous included): identity card, effective
access summary, theme picker, localStorage utilities (export / import
/ clear, landing-presets viewer).
- Subtree admins additionally see: editable .zddc files list (linking
to the existing form-based editor) and a "Create new project folder"
form.
- Super-admins additionally see: server config, log viewer, whoami
headers (the old /.admin/ JSON endpoints, repointed under /.profile/).
Project creation is gated on CanEditZddc(newDir) — the same strict-
ancestor rule that already governs .zddc writes — so no new authority
concept is introduced. ValidateProjectName mirrors the existing
reserved-prefix policy (no leading '.' or '_', no path separators).
/.admin/* is hard-cut: no redirect shim. Old URLs fall through to the
existing dot-prefix guard and 404. Custom CSS file rename: prefer
<root>/.profile.css, fall back to legacy <root>/.admin.css.
Per-resource 404 leakage gates preserved on whoami / config / logs /
zddc / projects so non-admin callers cannot detect the existence of
admin-only sub-resources.
Tree-wide gofmt -w applied as a side-effect.
