Other machines have to make the same database change, and pasted SQL is the
wrong way to ship it. `scripts/rename-capabilities-to-permissions.ts` renames
the table, its column, both indexes and its three CHECK constraints in one
transaction, and refuses to guess:
neither table nothing to do; db:push will create it
already renamed no-op, prints the grant count
BOTH tables present stops and says a human must decide
old table only migrates, counts before and after, prints every grant
Testing it found a bug that reading it had not. The existence checks were
inside the transaction but ran on the pool rather than on `tx`, so they could
not see the uncommitted rename: `columnExists('role_permissions','capability')`
answered false because that table did not exist yet on that connection, and the
COLUMN rename was silently skipped. The result was a `role_permissions` table
with a `capability` column — half migrated, and only failing on the next query.
That was found by building a scratch database in edge-pertento's exact shape
and running the script against it, rather than by review. Every check now
happens before the transaction, against the old names.
Verified end to end on that scratch: 6 grants migrated intact, a second run
correctly no-ops, and `db:push` afterwards leaves role_permissions and its rows
alone while creating the rest of the schema. Indexes come out as
role_permissions_pkey and uq_role_permissions_role_permission.
Also swept the last all-caps survivors the case-sensitive passes missed:
CORE_CAPABILITIES → CORE_PERMISSIONS, and a react-query key still spelling
['ROLE_CAPABILITIES']. The only CAPABILITIES left in src/ is the wallet's, which
is Lightning and stays.
The word meant four different things in this repo, not the three the offscale
doc records:
1. the permission registry → RENAMED here
2. $OFFICER_ROOT/capabilities/ items → kept; this is what capabilities are
3. sidecar routing keys → step 3, becoming `handles`
4. Lightning wallet features → kept; a domain term, and on the wire
to the mobile apps
The fourth was not in the doc and a global find-and-replace would have broken
the mobile wallet, which reads `{ kind, capabilities: Capability[] }` from the
wallet sidecar. So this renamed against an explicit file allowlist rather than
by sweeping the tree, and `CapabilityPage.tsx` — the UI for the item store, and
correctly named already — was left alone.
Moved: servers/capabilities/ → servers/permissions/, capability-gate.ts →
permission-gate.ts, users/capabilities-routes.ts → permissions-routes.ts,
hooks/useCapabilities.ts → usePermissions.ts. Identifiers follow.
Three breaks the typechecker could not see, all found by exercising it live.
The route paths moved with the prose sweep, so the server served
/user/permissions while the frontend still called /user/capabilities. A 404 on
every page load, and tsgo clean throughout.
The response FIELD moved too. `client.get<SelfPermissions>()` is an unchecked
cast, so `data.capabilities` became `undefined` at runtime with no compile
error — `can()` would have answered "no" to everything and the dock would have
emptied itself.
And the grants list was passed straight out of the database, so it arrived as
`{ role, capability, level }` while the screen read `grant.permission`. Every
role would have rendered as holding nothing. It is now mapped in the route:
the wire says `permission`, the column still says `capability`, and step 2
therefore changes nothing any client can see.
The stale react-query keys were the quiet one: two files still invalidated
['self-capabilities'] after the hook moved to ['self-permissions'], so
installing a plugin would have silently stopped refreshing the dock.
The database is untouched — `role_capabilities` and its `capability` column are
step 2, and the two call sites that cross that boundary say so in a comment.
Round-tripped the 9 live grants through the admin endpoint to prove the PUT
contract survived: 9 before, 9 after, Member's three intact.
Also reverted prettier churn on five landing-page files that a broad --write
picked up. Second time today; the lesson is not sticking.
tsgo clean. 797 tests, 787 pass, same 7 pre-existing failures — two of which
now read "path → permission" rather than "path → capability".
