Reads (apps resolution, directory listing, file GET, archive index,
profile pages, subtree zip, form render) used policy.AllowFromChain
with email — no admin-bypass branch fired even for elevated admins,
because IsActiveAdmin only landed in AllowActionFromChainP.
Symptom: elevated admin navigating to /browse.html got 403 because
the root cascade has no explicit read grants in my refactored root
.zddc (role memberships + admins only; no acl.permissions). The
app-resolution path's AllowFromChain didn't see admin status.
Fix: new policy.AllowFromChainP that forwards to
AllowActionFromChainP(action=read). Migrate every read-path caller
to the principal-aware variant. The decider's single bypass branch
now fires uniformly across read and write decisions.
Migrated:
cmd/zddc-server/main.go (9 sites)
handler/directory.go (1)
handler/archivehandler.go (2)
handler/zddcfile.go (1)
handler/formhandler.go (3)
handler/projectshandler.go (1; EnumerateProjects sig takes Principal)
handler/subtreezip.go (1)
fs/tree.go (1; uses already-built principal)
profilehandler.go:400 stays on AllowFromChain — it probes ACL for a
DIFFERENT email (the enumeration target, not the request principal),
so admin bypass on the request's principal doesn't apply.
