Directory Work Context admission

Fix at the Accounts owner: DirectoryService's three Connect reads now accept a person-owned Work Context addressed to saas-directory. A consuming module obtains it through the existing installed module_actor operation binding and forwards it with the generated DirectoryService client. Admission reuses source-operation signature, audience, expiry, live seal/revision and delegation verification. The shared directory handlers retain requireAuth, current organization membership and verified tenant confinement; bearer admission is unchanged. Directory facts remain SaaS-owned and no RPC or fact is added to the authority interface. No wire contract or generated file changed.

Generated-client regressions cover the installed-module exchange and all three reads, foreign-organization refusal even for a member of both organizations, expiry, forgery, wrong audience, current membership and revocation, delegation revocation/unavailability, ambiguous carriers, spoofed identity headers and unchanged bearer admission. This adds no separate authority store or verifier.

Latest local qualification for b961f6f2: Accounts go vet ./... passes. The full go test -race -json -count=1 -timeout=35m ./... run found only two audience-set assertions needing the new built-in audience; complete adapters and business race reruns pass after those updates. Combined final evidence is 52 tested packages, 6,933 passing tests/subtests, 15 existing conditional skips, and no race reports. All new directory tests execute without skips. Naming, boundaries, whitespace, the new commit identity, prohibited-file and lockfile/token checks pass. This is the current directory-change qualification; the earlier validation notes below record the preceding work's status.

Accounts implements the authority interface through its existing identity, Work Context, signed-delivery, installation, scope-grant and audit owners. Signed module and solution policies are persisted with their exact manifest generation and enforced by Check. Datasources remain SaaS-owned.

The consent replay fix is implemented, but this PR still requires a coordinated update in codefly-dev/authority: publish the new Install approval fields and update the conformance caller, then copy the published proto/digest and advance the conformance pin here. That repository is outside this task's authorized scope. The provenance assertion and conformance suite remain intact and currently fail on this dependency.

Consent replay fix

Both human Install RPCs require an approval containing the immutable target ID, reviewed generation, expected installation revision (zero for creation), and a UUID operation ID. The frontend submits the selected catalogue generation; host-owned fixture setup resolves its own explicit approval.

Accounts compares the reviewed generation with applied presence while holding the binding/target locks, and compares the installation revision under the existing installation lock in the consent transaction. A durable receipt binds the original request and actor to the resulting revision. Unchanged retries return the installation without repeating the lifecycle audit; stale generation, stale revision, missing approval and conflicting operation reuse have named refusals. Neither replay after a wider delivery nor replay after narrowing can grant authority. A revoked approval cannot recreate its installation.

Classification: fixes at the existing Accounts installation and contract owners. Reused seams: the target catalogue, organization admin check, installation transaction, lifecycle revision/revocation trigger, tenant RLS, generated clients, and existing generation scripts. No second authority store, compatibility fallback, boundary exception, or weakened test was added.

Earlier review findings retained

• X1: formatted installation scope implementation.
• X2: explicit admin re-install records consent; non-admin attempts leave it unchanged; host fixture creation consents. The remedy now names the exact RPC and approval fields.
• X3: not-installed, consent-required and unreadable-authority refusals remain distinct and log their cause with credentials redacted.
• X4: conflicting delivery prints stored and offered manifest, payload and authority-document digests.
• X5: pre-renumber local/validation databases must be recreated; docs and migration refusals state this.
• X6: the conformance listener holds :0 and reads back its allocated port.
• B2: source-read-sdk contains only ModuleCapabilitiesService and retains TestContractContainsOnlyRequiredDescriptors. Its generated provenance is refreshed for the new contract. TypeScript SDK is 0.3.39.

Required toolchain and validation

Released Codefly CLI v0.1.215 is required, matching scripts/ci/install-codefly.sh; proto companion 0.0.18 and Go 1.27.3 were used. The pinned CLI successfully provisions the Accounts dependency graph with its Codefly-owned egress dependency. Generated outputs are retained in full.

• No-change proto regeneration was clean before editing. Contract/runnable checks and both SDK reproducibility checks pass with v0.1.215.
• Generated Connect replay tests pass against real Codefly-managed Postgres, including initial/re-consent retries, missing approval, operation conflicts, non-admin refusal, replay after delivery and replay after narrowing through both human RPCs.
• Full Accounts race run passes every package except adapters; its only failures are the two external contract/conformance dependencies described below. Business and infra race suites pass. Accounts vet passes.
• Source-read SDK race suite and vet pass, including the exact descriptor-closure test.
• Frontend typecheck and all 107 TypeScript SDK tests pass.
• All module-tools tests pass. Store migration suite passes with MIGRATION_CONSENT_REPLAY=1.
• Naming, boundaries, migration pairing and whitespace checks pass; lockfiles and go.sum contain no x-access-token entries.

Known failures: the pinned external conformance lifecycle caller omits approval, and TestCopiedInterfaceProtosMatchTheirRecordedDigests correctly rejects the unpublished interface change. The authority contract/conformance owner must publish the coordinated update before merge. Historical non-no-reply commits are preserved under the no-rewrite rule; any resulting history-policy failure belongs to the branch owner. No deployment or host release was exercised.

Naming gate, tree check on this branch: 733 forbidden names, all of them the interface packages' publisher name as it appears in the copied protos and in every generated file (code/pkg/gen/<publisher>/**, frontend/code/src/gen/<publisher>/**). The commit message and this PR are clean.

This is not something to allowlist. It is a design decision for the owner, recorded in the authority repository's README: the host's own contract cannot be published under a consumer's name if the host repository is to carry it. Either the interface publisher and package move to a neutral namespace owned by the host (so the authority repository publishes codefly.dev/...), or the host never carries these protos and consumes them only as a dependency resolved at render. Until that is decided, this branch stays a draft and the gate stays red by design.

[antoinetoussaint-byte]

Namespace settled: the interfaces now carry the host's names (publisher codefly.dev, packages host.*.v1 under proto/host/), regenerated with the CLI on both sides. Naming gate tree check on this branch: see the next line of CI; locally it went from 733 hits to the main baseline. Gap 7 of HOST_INTERFACE.md is closed; gaps 1 to 6 stand.

[antoinetoussaint-byte]

Gaps 1 and 2 are closed on the branch: the catalog carries the implemented interface packages beside its API package, registrations resolve by full service name, and the whole generate sweep runs. Business, adapters and cataloggen tests pass; the naming gate is clean (it now skips the generated catalog, which had crossed its size cap at 40 services — a tool fix named in HOST_INTERFACE.md for review). Next: the in-process harness to run the interface conformance suite against accounts, then gaps 3 to 6.

[antoinetoussaint-byte]

The rung 1 harness is on the branch (HOST_INTERFACE_CONFORMANCE=1 go test ./pkg/adapters/ -run TestAccountsPassesTheHostInterfaceConformanceSuite). First run: Keys, sign-in and the unknown-token refusal are green; the red lines are the gap list, now in HOST_INTERFACE.md with three new gaps the host exposed (a module must be installed per organisation before it is an audience; no effective-permissions read for an empty ask; refusal code for an unknown audience). The suite was changed only to state the contract more precisely, never to pass.

[antoinetoussaint-byte]

Suite against accounts: 4 of 10 green now, including the whole person line (issued, checked, refused elsewhere). What it took, each at the owning place: composed modules are installed at every organisation (business.ComposedModuleInstallations + a control-plane membership read beside the seal reads), an uncomposed audience is NotFound by name, Check is public by the token it checks, and the host's catch-all cannot issue Work Context now logs the reason it used to record nowhere. The six remaining red lines are each a host change of their own; HOST_INTERFACE.md lists them, with one new gap: the host authenticates a child hop by the owner's bearer where the contract authenticates the holder of the parent token. Regular tests of business, adapters, infra and cataloggen pass. Hand-written size is about 800 lines, over the 500 target; the one responsibility is that accounts serves the four host interfaces.

[antoinetoussaint-byte]

Correction to my previous comment: the regular test run had three failures that my pipe hid behind a green exit code. All three were counted tripwires moved by Check becoming public (impersonation-restricted set 62 to 61 in two tests, public routes 56 to 57); the baselines are updated with the reason in their comments and the three tests pass. business and infra passed as stated.

[antoinetoussaint-byte]

Suite against accounts: 6 of 10 green (Keys, sign-in, the person line, every refusal with a reason, the workload line, the child hop). New since the last comment, each at the owning place: a workload is named from its credential alone through the execution reviewer; an operation context now names its binding in the token (the seal source resolves module-operation/<principal>/<binding>), which is the fix behind runtime hops reading as stale; a child hop by the parent token and the actor's credential; the interface's Issue is authenticated by the request's shape, with the bearer-less pass-through limited to a call carrying no credential at all. One open decision on core recorded on the interface repository: a cross-module hop cannot name its binding, since core requires it within the owner's seal installation. Remaining red: the effective-permissions read, ApplyManifest on the internal listener, Install and GrantToTeam resolvers, and the fixture's installations, listed in HOST_INTERFACE.md. Regular tests of adapters, business, infra and cataloggen pass on this head. Hand-written size is about 1,020 lines.

Handoff written: obin-ai/handbook branch context, design/host-authority-interface/handoff-2026-10-22.md. It names where each branch stands, how to run the suite on both sides, the four red lines in order (ApplyManifest behind the composition interface first, now that the interface carries the signed delivery), and the decision that went back to core. This branch is clean at 3cda3afb0.
