Adds the risk register as a sibling of MDL under archive/<party>/, and
three project-level virtual aggregations at <project>/{ssr,mdl,rsk}:
- SSR aggregates archive/<party>/ssr.yaml; "+ Add row" materializes a
new party folder (mkdir + auto-own .zddc + ssr.yaml). Renames go
through X-ZDDC-Op: ssr-rename, which os.Rename's the party
directory so every row inside follows. Party name doubles as the
folder name (no opaque IDs) and is path-derived on read.
- MDL/RSK rollups list every deliverable / every risk across all
parties with a derived `party` column; "+ Add row" is suppressed
because party affiliation is ambiguous in the aggregate view.
All four virtual roots are declared `virtual: true` in
defaults.zddc.yaml. Spec/form bytes come from six new embedded
defaults (default-rsk.*, default-ssr.*, default-project-{mdl,rsk}.*)
served via a generalized IsDefaultSpec/IsDefaultSpecAbs that replaces
the MDL-only recognizer. Listing synthesis lives in fs/tree.go;
ACL on each synthetic row evaluates against the canonical
archive/<party>/ chain so non-owners see rows read-only. PUT/DELETE
through virtual URLs rewrite to canonical paths in fileapi.go via
sibling-shape blocks that don't touch the ACL gate. SSR row DELETE
returns 405 (delete the party folder via the archive view).

Single audit pass that removes pre-release back-compat, consolidates the
admin-policy decider, and fixes the .zddc write path.
Field removal — acl.allow / acl.deny:
- Drop ACLRules.Allow / Deny struct fields and mergeLegacyACL().
- Remove walker / lookups / validate / decider branches that read them.
- Migrate every test fixture (YAML strings and ACLRules struct literals)
to acl.permissions: { principal → verb-set }.
- Rewrite both bundled Rego policies (access.rego, access_federal.rego)
to traverse level.acl.permissions; rewrite parity-test helpers.
- Update create-project form (profile page) to collect permissions
instead of allow/deny lists.
Admin decider consolidation:
- Delete zddc.CanEditZddc — strict-ancestor rule retired. Subtree admins
own their own .zddc; the policy decider's IsActiveAdmin short-circuit
is the single bypass site.
- Migrate tablehandler.ServeTable to AllowActionFromChainP — closes the
same Forbidden bug already fixed for /browse.html.
- Drop AccessView.EditableParentChoices and treeEntry.CanEdit (always
true after the retirement). Profile page renders AdminSubtrees
directly for both lists.
- Drop the excludeLeaf parameter from AdminLevelInChain /
IsAdminForChain — no production caller passed true.
Dead code removed:
- policy.AllowWriteFromChain (zero production callers, zero tests).
- zddc.AllowedWithChain (zero production callers; tests deleted).
ModeStrict retirement — federal posture is OPA-only:
- Delete cascade_mode.go / cascade_mode_test.go and the ModeStrict
branches in cascade.go and acl.go.
- Drop --cascade-mode flag, CascadeMode config field, and the
InternalDecider.Mode field.
- Drop the mode parameter from every cascade helper:
GrantedVerbsAtLevel, AllowedAction, EffectiveVerbs,
EffectiveVerbsRange, RoleMembers, MatchesPrincipal,
MatchingPrincipals, WormZoneGrant, PolicyChain.VisibleStart.
- Strip cascade_mode from /.profile/config and
/.profile/effective-policy responses.
- Refresh README / ARCHITECTURE.md to describe federal posture as
"deploy OPA with access_federal.rego" (NIST AC-6); the bundled Rego
is the parent-deny-is-absolute variant. The in-process Go evaluator
implements only the commercial cascade.
Legacy redirects + .admin.css fallback:
- Drop /<dir>/.zddc.html → ?file=.zddc redirect and its test.
- Drop ?zip=1 retired comment + legacy test (handled by the
.zip virtual-URL path; covered by TestServeSubtreeZip).
- Drop .admin.css fallback in profile_assets.go — only .profile.css now.
- Refresh stale "retired" / "back-compat" / "legacy" comment markers.
.zddc write path fix:
- Dispatcher: route only GET/HEAD on .zddc URLs to ServeZddcFile; carve
.zddc out of the dot-prefix guard so PUT/DELETE/POST reach
ServeFileAPI. Before this, .zddc writes 405'd at ServeZddcFile and
the YAML editor's save flow had no live path.
- ServeFileAPI.resolveTargetPath: same .zddc-leaf carve-out so the file
API accepts the path; intermediate dot dirs (.zddc.d/) stay reserved.
- Listing: compute Writable per-file with ActionAdmin for .zddc
(matches the file API's gate) instead of ActionWrite for everything.
- Virtual .zddc placeholder: compute Writable via the same
parentActiveAdmin || ActionAdmin path. Was always false before.
- browse YAML editor canSave: exempt virtual .zddc — the synthetic
body is designed to materialize on PUT.

Phase 3 retired these symbols by migrating their consumers to the
.zddc cascade lookups. Removing them now that nothing references
them:
- var zddc.ProjectRootFolders
- var zddc.PartyFolders
- var zddc.AutoOwnCanonicalNames
- var zddc.VirtualOnlyCanonicalNames
- func zddc.IsProjectRootFolder
- func zddc.IsArchivePartyFolder
- func zddc.IsArchivePartyMdlDir
- func handler.isArchivePartyDir
The canonical convention is expressed in defaults.zddc.yaml and
consulted via lookups.go's DefaultToolAt / AutoOwnAt / VirtualAt /
IsDeclaredPath / ChildrenDeclaredAt / AvailableToolsAt /
IsToolAvailableAt. Operators override per-directory via on-disk
.zddc files; the embedded layer is the documented baseline.
Test removals:
- TestCanonicalLists (lists no longer exist)
- TestIsProjectRootFolder (function no longer exists)
Equivalent coverage lives in lookups_test.go's
TestDefaultToolAt_FromEmbeddedConvention,
TestIsDeclaredPath_FromEmbeddedConvention, etc. — which assert the
convention via the cascade's actual lookup path rather than the
predicates' return values.
handler.isAtArchivePartyMdlDir is RETAINED — it's still actively
consumed by RecognizeTableRequest's default-MDL fallback in
table.html URL resolution. That's a tighter file-path predicate
than the cascade walker would naturally express; can revisit if it
ever needs to become configurable.

Two related routing fixes:
1. /<project>/archive/<party>/mdl[/] now follows the slash/no-slash
convention uniformly with the rest of the system:
- mdl (no slash) → tables app (default tool for mdl/)
- mdl/ (slash) → browse (ServeDirectory empty-listing fallback)
Previously the slash form auto-redirected to mdl/table.html, which
forced the user into the table view from any party-folder click and
produced a confusing "Unrecognized table URL" error when the
redirect race-conditioned. tableRowsRedirect now only redirects
when a real on-disk table.yaml exists; the default-MDL virtual case
stays in browse via the convention.
New zddc.IsArchivePartyMdlDir helper recognises the canonical
<project>/archive/<party>/mdl pattern at depth 4 (relative path).
fs.ListDirectory uses it to return [] for the missing-on-disk case
so browse renders the empty workspace cleanly. Test updated
(TestServeDirectoryRedirectsDefaultMdl → TestServeDirectoryDefaultMdlNoRedirect).
2. <dir>/.zddc URLs now work at every directory depth.
The dispatcher previously 404'd anything beginning with a dot
(except /.archive and /<dir>/.zddc.html). New IsZddcFileRequest +
ServeZddcFile handlers carve out the raw .zddc leaf so an operator
can navigate to /Project-1/archive/PartyA/mdl/.zddc and inspect
the rules effective at that depth.
Semantics:
- Method: GET / HEAD only. Writes go through the existing admin-
gated form at <dir>/.zddc.html (unchanged).
- ACL: parent directory's read permission gates access; 404
(not 403) is returned to non-readers so existence isn't leaked.
- On disk: file bytes served verbatim with
Content-Type: application/yaml and X-ZDDC-Source: file:<rel>.
- Virtual: when no file exists at this level, a synthetic
placeholder body is returned with a YAML-comment cascade
summary so the reader sees exactly what rules apply here from
ancestors. X-ZDDC-Source: virtual:zddc distinguishes it.
The virtual body parses as valid YAML (`{}` after the comments) so
downstream tooling that consumes the URL isn't confused.

Two intertwined refactors that share too many files to split cleanly.
Both are described separately below.
PART 1 — in-dir convention for table+form spec files
Old layout had the spec at the parent and rows in a child:
archive/<party>/
mdl.table.yaml spec
mdl.form.yaml row-edit form
mdl/ rows-dir
row-001.yaml ...
URLs were /<dir>/mdl.table.html and /<dir>/mdl.form.html. Copying
mdl/ elsewhere lost the spec and form because they lived next door.
New layout collapses everything into the rows-dir:
archive/<party>/mdl/ self-contained
table.yaml spec
form.yaml row-edit form
row-001.yaml ... rows
URLs become /<dir>/mdl/table.html and /<dir>/mdl/form.html. The
"copying-the-folder-takes-everything" property the user asked for
falls out by construction; the row-edit URL /<dir>/<id>.yaml.html
keeps the same shape (spec is now in the same dir, not the
grandparent).
Server changes:
- internal/handler/tablehandler.go RecognizeTableRequest fires on
/<dir>/table.html when <dir>/table.yaml exists. The .zddc.tables
alias map is gone — pure presence-based discovery now matches
the form system's existing convention. Default-MDL fallback at
archive/<party>/mdl/ stays for the virgin-archive case (the
rows-dir need not exist on disk; the URL renders fully virtually).
- internal/handler/formhandler.go RecognizeFormRequest fires on
/<dir>/form.html and /<dir>/<id>.yaml.html with spec at
<dir>/form.yaml. specEligible accepts on-disk files OR the
default-MDL virtual path so an empty mdl/ dir still surfaces the
add-row form.
- internal/handler/tablehandler.go IsDefaultMdlSpec moves to
serving archive/<party>/mdl/{table,form}.yaml (5 segments after
ZDDC_ROOT). New isAtArchivePartyMdlLevel predicate; new
isAtArchivePartyMdlDir for directory-based recognition. New
IsDefaultMdlSpecAbs accessor for callers that hold an abs path
rather than a URL (formhandler).
- internal/handler/formhandler.go loadFormSpec(fsRoot, path) falls
back to embedded default-MDL bytes when os.ReadFile returns
NotExist AND the path matches the archive-party-mdl shape. Three
call sites updated to pass cfg.Root.
- internal/handler/formhandler.go serveFormCreate writes
submissions to filepath.Dir(req.SpecPath) — the spec, the form,
and rows all live in one directory. The submissionsDir creation
is idempotent (MkdirAll); cascade falls back one level for ACL
evaluation when the dir hasn't been materialized yet.
- internal/handler/tablehandler.go tableRowsRedirect now points at
/<dir>/table.html (was /<dir>.table.html) when the directory
request maps to a recognized table.
- cmd/zddc-server/main.go dispatch synth flips from
urlPath + ".table.html" to urlPath + "/table.html" for the
no-trailing-slash → tables-app routing.
- internal/apps/availability.go DefaultAppAt comment clarified
that the dir at archive/<party>/mdl/ IS the table (not a child).
Client changes:
- tables/js/context.js walkServer fetches <currentdir>/table.yaml
directly — no .zddc walk for table declarations. Rows are every
*.yaml in current dir EXCLUDING table.yaml and form.yaml. The
.zddc fetch-for-aliases is gated on file:// (online mode 404s
on .zddc reads via the dispatcher's reserve guard, so skipping
the request avoids browser console noise).
- tables/js/main.js add-row button links to relative form.html
(same dir).
- tables/js/render.js + filters.js: every column's autofilter is
uniformly a text-contains input, even enum columns — keeps the
filter row visually consistent and doesn't constrain users to
the enum vocabulary.
PART 2 — unified table+form HTML bundle
The form-render and table-render code paths share field schemas,
the cell editor for excel-mode IS a form widget, and the form
system's POST-back / validation already exists. Combining the two
HTMLs eliminates duplicating jsyaml/jsonschema/theme/source-
detection/.zddc-parsing across two single-file tools.
- tables/template.html grows two top-level mode containers:
#table-mode (toolbar + sortable table) and #form-mode (form +
submit button). Both hidden at parse time; the dispatcher
unhides one. The shared #form-context placeholder was added
here so the server's existing injectFormContext target
resolves.
- tables/js/mode.js (new) sets window.zddcMode synchronously
based on URL pattern: /form.html or /<id>.yaml.html → form,
/table.html → table, else inline-context fallback for
file:// (whichever context blob is non-empty wins). Unhides
the matching container at DOMContentLoaded.
- tables/js/main.js init() and form/js/main.js boot() each guard
early when mode isn't theirs. Both apps live on different
globals (window.tablesApp vs window.formApp) so module
registration doesn't collide.
- form/js/main.js title write falls back from #form-title to
#table-title (the unified bundle's shared header element)
when the dedicated id isn't present.
- tables/build.sh concatenates form modules (widgets, render,
object, array, errors, post, serialize, util) and form CSS.
No new external deps. Bundle grows from ~95KB to ~120KB.
- internal/handler/formhandler.go drops the //go:embed form.html
directive; serveFormRender now writes embeddedTablesHTML via
a small formRenderHTML() accessor (var declared in
tablehandler.go, same package). The embedded form.html file
is removed.
- build script: cp form/dist/form.html → internal/handler/form.html
step is gone (file no longer exists in the source tree). cp
tables/dist/tables.html → internal/handler/tables.html now
runs unconditionally rather than only on beta/stable cuts —
the renderer is a fixed binary component and dev iteration
needs the embedded copy refreshed every build. Channel-cascaded
apps (internal/apps/embedded/) stay channel-gated as before.
- form/dist/form.html still builds for standalone offline-only
use (downloadable from /releases/), but no longer goes into
the binary.
Tests:
- internal/handler/tablehandler_test.go and formhandler_test.go
rewritten for the in-dir layout. New test
TestRecognizeFormRequest_DefaultMdlAtArchiveParty covers
empty-form, create POST, re-edit row, and the negative cases
(Working/, non-mdl name) where the fallback must NOT fire.
- internal/handler/directory_test.go updated for the new
/<dir>/table.html redirect target.
- cmd/zddc-server/main_test.go TestDispatchSlashRouting Location
expectation updated.
- tests/form-safety.spec.js loads tables/dist/tables.html
(named form.html in the temp dir to trigger form-mode in the
dispatcher) so it tests the same bytes the server returns.
Title-element selector switches to #table-title.
- tests/tables.spec.js updates the status-filter test for the
uniform text-input filter.
Docs:
- AGENTS.md form-data system rewrites the URL conventions and
storage layout for in-dir; gains a Tables system section
parallel to forms describing the self-contained-directory
property; subfolder rules ("one table per folder by
construction; subfolders allowed and silently ignored as rows
— legitimate uses: nested sub-tables, per-row attachments,
drafts, future history sidecars") so we don't re-derive this.
Not included (deferred):
- ACL gating on cell-level writes — not relevant until Phase 3.
- Editable cells UI — separate commit (Phase 1).

When an HTML GET hits a directory that's the rows-dir of a registered
table — i.e. parent declares `tables: { <name>: ... }` with a valid
spec, OR the default-MDL fallback applies at archive/<party>/mdl/ —
ServeDirectory now 302s to <parent>/<name>.table.html so users land
on the table view instead of a bare browse listing of the row-yaml
files. JSON GETs on the same URL fall through unchanged so the table
client can still enumerate row files.
Detection reuses RecognizeTableRequest: synthesize the equivalent
.table.html URL from the directory request and let the existing
recognizer apply its operator-vs-default-vs-missing-spec rules. No
duplicated validation.
Updates main_test.go's TestDispatchSlashRouting to expect the new
behavior on archive/<party>/mdl/.

Three pieces wire the per-party Master Deliverables List as the default
view at archive/<party>/mdl/:
1. **Dispatcher redirect.** GET (and HEAD) on
<project>/archive/<party>/mdl/ (case-fold on archive and mdl) now
302 → <project>/archive/<party>/mdl.table.html. Non-archive paths
and deeper mdl/ paths fall through unchanged.
2. **Default-spec fallback in RecognizeTableRequest.** When a request
matches archive/<party>/mdl.table.html and no operator-supplied
tables: { mdl: ... } declaration covers it, the handler returns a
recognised request anyway. Operator declarations still win — and a
typo'd declaration pointing at a missing file yields 404 (not a
silent fallback).
3. **Static-file fallback for the spec yaml.** GET archive/<party>/
mdl.table.yaml and archive/<party>/mdl.form.yaml return embedded
default bytes (default-mdl.{table,form}.yaml in the handler package)
when no operator file exists at that path. Operator files always
win because the dispatcher's os.Stat finds them before reaching the
IsDefaultMdlSpec branch.
The defaults use ZDDC vocabulary: tracking, title, discipline, type,
plannedRevision, plannedDate, status (DFT/IFR/IFA/IFC/AFC/AB), owner,
notes. Operators override per-party by writing
archive/<party>/{mdl.table.yaml,mdl.form.yaml} and a tables: { mdl: ... }
entry in the party's .zddc.
Tests:
- 4 dispatcher redirect cases (success, case-fold mdl, case-fold archive,
deeper-path skip, non-archive skip)
- 6 tablehandler cases (default fires at archive/<party>/, operator
override wins, scope check, embedded yaml served, operator yaml wins,
scope check on yaml fallback)

Tables is the eighth HTML tool: a read-only tabular view over a
directory of YAML files declared via `tables:` in `.zddc`. Anchor use
case is the Master Deliverables List, where each row is one
`<tracking>.yaml` under `Archive/<Party>/MDL/`. Rows click through to
the existing form renderer for editing.
Schema (zddc/internal/zddc/file.go)
- New `Tables map[string]string` on ZddcFile. Map key becomes the URL
stem (`tables[MDL]` → `<dir>/MDL.table.html`); the value is a path
relative to the .zddc pointing at a `*.table.yaml` spec describing
columns + the rows directory. No upward cascade in v1 — each
directory hosting a table declares it directly.
Server handler (zddc/internal/handler/tablehandler.go)
- `RecognizeTableRequest` matches GET `/<dir>/<name>.table.html`
against the cascade's `tables:` declarations. Dispatch routes
table requests before the form-system intercept.
- `ServeTable` ACL-gates with `policy.ActionRead` and serves the
embedded `tables.html` template; client walks the directory itself
via the listing JSON or FS Access API.
- tables.html embedded via //go:embed — same pattern as form.html.
Frontend (tables/)
- Vanilla JS: app/context/util/filters/sort/render/main modules.
- Reads spec + row YAML files via window.zddc.source (HTTP polyfill
or local FS handle); js-yaml 4.1.0 vendored in shared/vendor for
client-side parsing.
- Sample fixtures under tables/sample/ for local testing.
Build + CI
- Lockstep build registers tables alongside the other 7 tools (HTML
output, embed mirror, versions.txt, release-output, tags).
- Playwright project added; `npx playwright test --project=tables`
is part of `npm test`.
Drive-by: rename mdedit Playwright selectors `#select-directory` →
`#addDirectoryBtn` to fix three pre-existing failing tests.
Drive-by: ignore locally-built `zddc/zddc-server` binary so it doesn't
get accidentally staged.
