Hackerspace.sh - Architecture Documentation
Last Updated: 2026-05-21
Version: 1.0.0
Status: In production (serving live traffic)Note: Sections 7 and 13 and the project tree describe an earlier layout. Server actions are split per-domain under
lib/actions/*.ts(re-exported fromlib/actions/index.ts); there is no monolithiclib/actions.ts. The per-module behavior is current; the module-feature sections later in this document (Certifications, Classes, Equipment, Door, Presence, etc.) are the authoritative reference.
1. System Overview
Hackerspace.sh is a comprehensive member management platform designed for hackerspaces, makerspaces, and community workshops. It provides tools for:
- Member Management: Registration, approval workflows, role assignment, payment tracking
- Task & Chore System: Recurring tasks, assignment, claiming, completion tracking
- Project Management: Kanban-style project tracking with area assignments
- Financial Operations: Payment reconciliation, multi-platform integration (PayPal, Zeffy, Venmo)
- Communications: Real-time chat via Supabase Realtime
- Knowledge Base: Documentation, secrets vault, area lead management
- Contacts Management: Vendor, supplier, and partner directory

Privilege-eligible status (migration 046). user_has_role_in_space
and user_has_permission additionally require the caller's
space_members.status to be current or late (mirrors
lib/permissions PRIVILEGE_STATUSES). An unverified member of a
require_approval space (or an inactive one) cannot exercise a role
or permission at the RLS layer even via direct PostgREST, complementing
the same gate at the app layer in requireMemberWithRole. Deliberately
NOT applied to get_user_space_ids / user_effective_roles: gating
SELECT-policy reads would break an unverified member's own /me and
onboarding, which IS the legitimate require_approval flow.

8. Real-time Features
8.1 Comms (Chat)
The comms feature uses Supabase Realtime for live messaging:
// Client-side subscription
const subscription = supabase
.channel(`channel:${channelId}`)
.on('postgres_changes', {
event: 'INSERT',
schema: 'public',
table: 'comms_messages',
filter: `channel_id=eq.${channelId}`
}, payload => {
setMessages(prev => [...prev, payload.new])
})
.subscribe()
8.2 Default Channels
Created automatically via DB trigger when a space is created:
general- General discussionannouncements- Official announcementsrandom- Off-topicfacilities- Building/equipment issues
9. File Structure Details
9.1 Page Components Pattern
Each feature follows a consistent pattern:
feature/
├── page.tsx # Server Component - fetches data
└── feature-client.tsx # Client Component - UI + interactivity
Example: Tasks
page.tsx: Fetches tasks, members, passes to clienttasks-client.tsx: Renders tabs, modals, handles CRUD actions
9.2 Supabase Client Usage
| Location | Client | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Server Components | lib/supabase/server.ts |
Data fetching with RLS |
| Client Components | lib/supabase/client.ts |
Realtime, client mutations |
| Server Actions | lib/supabase/server.ts |
Protected mutations |
| Admin Operations | lib/supabase/admin.ts |
Bypasses RLS (signup) |
| Middleware | lib/supabase/proxy.ts |
Session refresh |
10. Security Considerations
10.1 RLS (Row Level Security)
All tables have RLS enabled. Policies enforce:
- Users can only see data from their space
- Role-based write permissions
- Admin client used only for initial space/member creation
10.2 Admin Client Safety
The admin client (SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY) is used ONLY for:
- Creating spaces during signup (trigger handles member creation)
- Adding first member to space
- Operations where RLS would create circular dependencies
Never expose to client-side code.
10.3 Secrets Storage
Integration credentials:
- Secret-named fields (
client_secret,*_secret,api_key,secret_key) are encrypted at rest in the AES-256-GCM secrets vault (lib/secrets/vault.ts, same vault Stripe + door use); only a<field>_refid is kept inintegrations.config. Server-side decrypt only, never returned to the client. - Non-secret fields stored in
integrations.config(JSONB) with_setindicators; UI shows connected state via the flags, never the value. - Legacy plaintext secrets (pre-vault) are auto-migrated into the vault on the next
saveIntegration.
11. Environment Variables

Migrations 012-030 are tracked authoritatively in docs/DATABASE_SCHEMA.md
(governance kernel, areas, forum/tiers/roles/invites, configurable onboarding,
customizable permissions + Ops ACLs, self-change hardening, 026-029 custom
forms + waivers + onboarding form step + per-space form slug + invite roles,
030 certifications + Instructor capability, 031 secrets SELECT honors
ops.secrets.read, 032 classes + sessions + signups, 033 equipment +
reservations, 034 member access cards + door permissions, 035 door
connections + access log, 036 door card slots; later migrations through
054 add classes/equipment/Stripe-dues/notifications and the door epic's
inbound access-log ingest (053) + universal API-call buttons (054) — see
docs/DATABASE_SCHEMA.md for the full, authoritative migration history).
Forms & waivers (migrations 026-029; complete Phases 1-5)
forms and form_submissions back a custom form/waiver builder. The feature
is complete (Phases 1-5): schema + RLS; server actions in
lib/actions/forms.ts; the builder UI under /forms (with starter
templates) + the public /f/[space]/[slug] page + a member-facing
/my-forms list; onboarding form step type with required-waiver
enforcement + auto-satisfy (migration 027); per-space form slug (028);
verified-email retro-link of anonymous submissions
(claimMyAnonymousSubmissions, hooked from joinSpace and
finishOnboarding; admin manual-link for unverified/admin-added members).
Invite codes can grant a role with usage caps (029; /join/[space]).
Security shape:
all submissions (anonymous, public-authenticated, or members) are written by a
single validated server action using the service client AFTER server-side
schema validation and snapshotting (same pattern as finishOnboarding); the
form_submissions table has no INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE policy, so RLS hard-denies
every non-service client; submissions are immutable to clients but a
forms.manage holder can permanently delete an individual submission
(deleteSubmission) or a whole form (deleteForm, which FK-cascades all its
submissions including signed waivers) through validated service-client actions
behind destructive UI confirms (deleteForm also requires an explicit
confirm:true). The public fill page is served by a service-client server
action, so the anon Postgres role gets no grant on forms. Form management
is gated by the new additive forms.manage permission via
user_has_permission.
Email-match association (migration 039 + app, owner-chosen 2026-05): a
submission is linked to a member whenever submitter_email matches a member
in the space — at submit time, on member add/email-change
(linkSubmissionsByEmail), via self-claim at join/onboarding, and a one-time
backfill. This intentionally includes raw anonymous submissions (attribution
only, no access); the tradeoff is documented inline in submitForm so it is
not mistaken for a bug. forms.manage holders see a member's submissions on
the /members per-member panel (listMemberSubmissions, RLS-honoring,
metadata only).
Certifications & Instructor (migration 030)
certifications (per-space cert types; optional validity_months;
is_active archive) and member_certifications (per-member grants) back a
certification tracker. Pure decision logic is isolated in
lib/certifications-logic.ts (computeExpiry with month/leap-year clamping;
certificationStatus = revoked > expired > expiring_soon > active),
unit-tested. Server actions in lib/actions/certifications.ts. Two new
additive permissions: certifications.manage (cert types, gates
/certifications admin pages via lib/certifications-guard.ts) and
certifications.grant (award/revoke = the Instructor capability, assignable
to any role/area-lead through the existing space_role_permissions model, NOT
a new built-in role). The per-member award/revoke/renew panel is reachable
from a "Certs" column on /members shown to any certifications.grant holder
(independent of admin/board). Members see their own grants + effective
permissions read-only at /me. RLS is additive and default-deny: cert types
readable by any space member; grants readable by managers/granters (all) or
the member (own); member_certifications has no DELETE policy so grant/revoke
history is immutable (revoke is a soft revoked_at UPDATE). Expiry is
snapshotted at grant time so later edits to the cert type never retroactively
change an existing grant. There is no anonymous path.
Classes (migrations 032, 037)
classes (offering), class_sessions (scheduled occurrence), and
class_signups (member signup) back a class scheduler. Pure logic in
lib/classes-logic.ts (effectiveCapacity, computeSignupStatus,
canSignUp, signupFormEligibility, pickPromotion), unit-tested. Server actions in
lib/actions/classes.ts. Two additive permissions: classes.manage
(class/session CRUD, gates /classes/manage via lib/classes-guard.ts)
and classes.instruct (attendance, completion, attendee list). Member
signup needs only membership. /classes is the member calendar (sign up /
waitlist / cancel); the member's own signups also appear on /me. RLS is
additive and default-deny: classes readable by managers (all) or members
(active only), sessions by any space member, signups by managers/instructors
(all) or the member (own) with instructor-only UPDATE and no INSERT/DELETE
policy so signup/cancel funnels through one validated service-client
action that enforces capacity/waitlist/dedupe and promotes the earliest
waitlisted member when a seat frees. A class may optionally set
required_form_id (migration 037): signup is then hard-gated on the member
having a form_submissions row for that form on file (waiver model),
checked via the service client since a class manager need not hold
forms.manage; a classes.manage holder gets the override and may also
sign a member up on their behalf (mirrors the equipment required-cert
gate). The member calendar shows the requirement and links to the public
form; the per-session signup roster is reused on /classes/manage behind a
toggle for staff (members never see who else signed up). Completing a
session can award the class's certification, but only through the normal
grantCertification
path, so it still requires the acting instructor to hold
certifications.grant; otherwise completion succeeds and the result
reports the certificates were skipped (no service-role bypass of the
guarded certifications surface). No anonymous path. Concurrent
signup/cancel is serialized per session by SECURITY DEFINER functions
class_signup_tx / class_cancel_tx (migration 045) holding
pg_advisory_xact_lock(hashtext(session_id)), so two simultaneous
signups at the capacity boundary cannot over-enroll and two simultaneous
cancels cannot double-promote a waitlister. The pure logic is the
documented rule; the RPC is the runtime authority.
Equipment (migration 033)
equipment (registry; status available/maintenance/retired; optional
required_certification_id; is_active archive) and
equipment_reservations (member time-window reservation) back a tool
reservation system. Pure logic in lib/equipment-logic.ts
(intervalsOverlap, hasConflict, reservationEligibility), unit-tested.
Server actions in lib/actions/equipment.ts. One additive permission,
equipment.manage (registry CRUD + adjust/cancel any reservation, gates
/equipment/manage via lib/equipment-guard.ts). Members reserve with
only membership. /equipment is the member catalog (reserve), /me lists
the member's own reservations. RLS is additive and default-deny: equipment
readable by managers (all) or members (active only), reservations by
managers (all) or the member (own) with manager-only UPDATE and no
INSERT/DELETE policy so reserve/cancel funnels through one validated
service-client action that enforces the equipment status, the no-overlap
rule, and the required-certification gate (checked against the normal
member_certifications data; an equipment.manage holder gets the
override and may book on a member's behalf). The app-side check is a
fast pre-check; the database is the concurrency arbiter via a GiST
EXCLUDE (equipment_id =, tstzrange(starts_at,ends_at,'[)') &&) WHERE status='reserved' constraint (migration 042 + btree_gist), so two
simultaneous requests for the same window cannot both insert. No
anonymous path.
Door / access control (migrations 034-036, 053-054; epic complete, P1-P5)
Phased and complete: P1-P5 built + deployed, including member self-entry (reviewed at the locked checkpoint, then built). member_cards (034) associates RFID/NFC UIDs to
members; the UID is a credential (door.manage-only RLS, no member SELECT;
masked count+last4 self-view via a service-client action). door.manage /
door.operate permissions (group Access). door_connections (035) is a
per-space controller integration: the shared password is NOT stored on the
row — secret_ref points at the existing AES-256-GCM secrets vault and is
decrypted server-side only. pinned_host is the SSRF pin. Pure logic in
lib/door-logic.ts (SSRF validateDoorTarget, always-blocked metadata/
link-local, native HeatSync encoders with the firmware-verified fixed-width
zero-padding, generic template substitution, secret redaction) is heavily
unit-tested. lib/door/executor.ts is the single hardened egress: it
re-validates the target against the pin, refuses redirects, caps time and
body, and redacts secrets before any audit write. door_access_log is an
append-only, secrets-redacted audit with no client write policy (validated
service-client executor only). /door/manage (door.manage) configures
connections, picks a vault secret, and runs a safe status-only test.
Phase 3 (036) adds the live actions, all door.operate, rate-limited, each
writing one redacted door_access_log row, reading through the service
client after the permission check (operators have no RLS read on
door_connections/member_cards). door_card_slots is the per-connection
integer-slot allocation map for controllers that key cards by slot
(HeatSync 0-200); the lowest-free policy is pure unit-tested logic
(lib/door-slots-logic.ts), UNIQUE (connection_id, slot) lets the DB
arbitrate concurrent grants, UNIQUE (connection_id, card_id) makes
re-grant idempotent. grantCard reserves the slot in the DB first, calls
the controller, and rolls the reservation back if the call fails;
revokeCard is idempotent and frees the slot only on confirmed controller
success so the app map never diverges from the device; doorControl
(open/unlock/lock) touches no slot. /door/manage surfaces these to
door.operate holders. Member self-entry (selfEntry) is built: any
active member with at least one active card on file may trigger a momentary
OPEN on a connection that is enabled and has allow_member_self_entry on
(opt-in, off by default; the locked eligibility rule is "any active card",
no door_card_slots row required). Membership/cards are resolved
server-side, strict per-member rate limit, one redacted self_entry audit
row; surfaced as a "Door access" panel on the dashboard and on the
member /doors page (self-entry + masked own cards via getMyCards +
the member's own recent activity via listMyDoorActivity, a service-client
read after requireMember filtered to that member), hidden entirely for
ineligible members. Phase 4 (053) adds inbound access-log ingest: real
entry/denied events are pulled INTO door_access_log and matched to a
member, via two transports that share one ingest core
(lib/door/ingest.ts). Poll: POST /api/cron/door-ingest (constant-time
CRON_SECRET, proxy.ts-whitelisted, once-a-minute crontab) reads each
inbound_enabled native-HeatSync connection's ?z log through the same
hardened executor (fullBody, capped) and parses it with the pure,
firmware-characterized lib/door-log-logic.ts (<pre> ring-buffer dump,
G+g/D+d card-number reconstruction with the 32767 divisor, best-effort
H:M:E). Webhook: POST /api/door/inbound/[connection] (also
proxy.ts-whitelisted, session-exempt) accepts pushed event JSON from any
controller/relay, authenticated by a per-connection bearer secret
(inbound_secret_ref, a distinct vault secret from the outbound password,
constant-time compared); body-size guarded, rate-limited, Zod-validated
(≤100 events). Both resolve a presented card to a member via the HeatSync
hex-uid model (cardMatchesEvent: a stored hex card_uid matches when
hexInt(uid) equals the reported decimal number, or a webhook uid matches
exactly) and dedupe-insert through the
service client: door_access_log.dedupe_key + the partial-unique
(connection_id, dedupe_key) index make a re-poll or webhook retry a
no-op, while NULL-keyed action rows stay unconstrained. The poll is
inherently best-effort (the HeatSync ring buffer has no per-entry sequence
id); the webhook (explicit event ids) is the reliable transport. The audit
log stays no-client-write/immutable; a webhook-supplied occurred_at is
clamped to not-in-the-future so a relay cannot reorder the operator's log.
Phase 5 (054) is the universal API-call UI builder: admins (door.manage,
which the catalog already scopes to "buttons") define api_buttons (label,
group, method GET/POST/PUT/PATCH/DELETE, base_url, pinned_host, url_template,
headers, body_template, auth_mode/auth_param, vault secret_ref, confirm,
and a per-button required_permission). A member presses only buttons whose
required_permission they hold (one new generic code apicall.invoke, the
default; a door-flavored button can require door.operate). listInvokable Buttons is a service-client read returning only presentational fields (never
url/headers/secret); invokeApiButton is rate-limited-first, loads the
definition service-side scoped to the member's space, checks the per-row
permission (denials audited), decrypts the secret server-side and fires
through callApi. The egress is now shared: the SSRF+resolve+connect-by-IP+
no-redirect+caps+redact core is factored into one internal egress, with
callDoor (GET, query secret) and callApi (full verbs + headers + body +
secret injected per auth_mode, host header forced to the pin) on top; pure
request assembly + secret placement is unit-tested in lib/api-call-logic.ts
(buildApiRequest). The metadata/link-local block is absolute even for an
admin-configured button. api_call_log is the append-only, redacted,
service-client-only press audit (SELECT = door.manage). The builder lives at
/door/buttons (with a door-template preset); members press from /doors.
No anonymous path. The executor is the
single hardened egress: it resolves the controller host once via
dns.lookup, rejects if any resolved IP is loopback / unspecified /
link-local / metadata (IPv4-mapped IPv6 normalized; RFC1918 / LAN / ULA
allowed since controllers live there), then connects to the validated
IP literal so fetch performs no second resolution, closing the
DNS-rebind TOCTOU. Redirects are refused (redirect: 'manual').
Controller errors never bubble the upstream reason to the client (a
generic message; the redacted detail goes only to door_access_log);
the redaction is auth-param-aware so a generic-adapter custom param
value is scrubbed regardless of its name.
Presence & attendance (migration 038)
space_visits records one row per visit (check-in/out, is_host, in/out
notes); an open row (checked_out_at IS NULL) means the member is here. A
partial unique index keeps at most one open visit per member. Pure logic in
lib/presence-logic.ts (presenceStatus, hostEligibility,
summarizePresence), unit-tested. Server actions in
lib/actions/presence.ts are self-only (member resolved server-side) and
funnel through the service client; space_visits has SELECT for any space
member (presence is social) and no client write policy. There is no new
permission code: current presence is visible to all members, the org-wide
/attendance history is all-members by product decision, and every member
sees their own history on /me. Forgotten check-outs are handled without a
cron: an open visit older than PRESENCE_MAX_OPEN_HOURS (18h) is treated as
not-present in pure logic and auto-closed on the member's next check-in.
Checking in as a host is gated by spaces.host_requires_card (default
true): when set, the member needs an active member_card on file
(reuses the access-card model); a space may relax it to let anyone
self-mark host. Surfaced as the dashboard "Who's here" panel, the
/attendance page, and "My recent visits" on /me. No anonymous path.
Stripe recurring dues (migration 040; product spine Phase 1)
Per-space OWN Stripe account (NOT Connect): the secret key + webhook
signing secret live encrypted in the AES-256-GCM secrets vault (the door
secret pattern), referenced by id from integrations.config which also
holds the mode, publishable key, tier→Price map and grace days. Pure
mapping logic in lib/stripe-logic.ts (pinned API version,
duesMemberStatus, graceExceeded) is unit-tested; lib/stripe/client.ts
builds a per-request Stripe client (never global, never client-exposed);
lib/stripe/config.ts holds the vault/config helpers (plain server module,
not 'use server', since they take the admin client). Members pay via a
hosted Checkout Session (subscription mode) and self-serve via the hosted
Billing Portal — card data never touches the app (SAQ A). The per-space
webhook POST /api/stripe/webhook/[space] verifies the signature with that
space's signing secret, is idempotent on Stripe's event id
(stripe_webhook_events), and maps the subscription lifecycle onto
member_billing + a stripe payments row + space_members.status
(grace → late, never auto-inactive, never auto-approves unverified).
member_billing SELECT = admin/board/treasurer with no client write
policy (webhook/service-client only); the member self-view is a validated
action. No new permission code. The webhook is hardened against three
classes of real-world Stripe behavior: replay (Stripe retries reuse the
event id, the unique stripe_webhook_events PK collapses them); out-of-
order delivery (a stale customer.subscription.updated carrying an
older period must NOT rewind current_period_end and false-lapse a
paid member, so laterPeriodEnd keeps the monotonic max); and
zero-decimal currencies (JPY/KRW/VND/etc. are NOT rescaled /100, via
isZeroDecimalCurrency). Error responses to the caller are generic;
the real cause is logged server-side. Phases 2-3 (transactional
notifications, broader self-serve) build on this.
Alternate dues payment methods (migration 049)
Not every space uses Stripe. An admin can configure external pay-here links
per platform (dues_payment_methods, one row per (space_id, payment_platform)
for PayPal / Zeffy / Venmo) under /settings; members see the active ones as
click-out buttons in the /me dues card and pay off-platform; a treasurer
reconciles the resulting payment manually through the existing payments flow.
The row carries the payment_platform tag precisely so that manual reconcile
is pre-typed. This is link configuration only: there is NO automated payment
record on click, no webhook, no money handled in-app. Pure logic in
lib/dues-payments-logic.ts (the url-based platform subset + labels +
isSafeDuesUrl, which requires an absolute https: URL so an admin-entered
value cannot become an XSS or plaintext-downgrade vector; the Zod schema reuses
it) is unit-tested. RLS: SELECT = any space member (they render the buttons),
INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE = admin/board (user_has_role_in_space); the member-read
and admin-write server actions are in lib/actions/dues-payments.ts. Links are
rendered with target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer".
The /me dues card (components/billing/dues-card.tsx) gates the Stripe
"Pay dues with card" button on whether the space actually has Stripe configured
(getMyBilling now returns a configured flag from isStripeConfigured), so a
space with no Stripe shows only its external links (or, if neither is set up, a
"contact an admin" note) instead of a dead Checkout button.
Transactional notifications (migration 041; product spine Phase 2)
Outbox + dispatcher, not inline send. The Stripe webhook only writes a
notifications row (invoice.paid → dues_renewed, invoice.payment_failed
→ dues_payment_failed, lapse-to-late → dues_lapsed); it never calls the
mail provider, so the money path stays fast and retry-safe. The
(space_id, dedupe_key) unique index makes a Stripe event replay a no-op
(ignoreDuplicates). Pure render + dedupe logic in
lib/notifications-logic.ts is unit-tested (HTML-escaped, brand-neutral
copy). lib/email/send.ts is a one-function transport seam over Resend's
HTTP API (no SDK; fetch) returning a retryable flag; a self-hosted
deploy can swap it for SMTP without touching callers, and an unset
RESEND_API_KEY is a clean non-retryable no-op. The dispatcher
POST /api/cron/notifications (constant-time CRON_SECRET bearer, no
session — proxy.ts whitelists /api/cron) drains ≤20 pending rows per
run, passing each row id as Resend's Idempotency-Key so an overlapping
run cannot double-send; transient failures stay pending until the attempt
budget is spent, permanent ones go failed. notifications SELECT =
admin/board/treasurer, no client write policy; the member self-view
(getMyNotifications, surfaced on /me) is a validated action. The
droplet's crontab POSTs once a minute. The drain is fair across spaces:
oldest-first candidates are bucketed per space_id and round-robined,
so one tenant's billing burst cannot head-of-line-block another space's
mail; a lone-tenant deployment still drains the full batch. Resend's
Idempotency-Key is per-attempt (<row.id>:<attempts>) so a
cross-minute retry is a deliberately fresh send, not a cached prior
response. The status write is guarded with .eq('status','pending')
so two overlapping dispatcher runs cannot flip a row another already
marked sent. No new permission code.
Notification breadth: bookings, classes, forms (product spine Phase 4)
Phase 2 (dues lifecycle) shipped the outbox + dispatcher. Phase 4 extends
event coverage to bookings, class signups, and form submissions, reusing
the same machinery unchanged (no new table, no dispatcher change, no new
env var). The notifications.type column is text, so adding event types
costs no migration.
A shared lib/notifications/enqueue.ts helper centralizes member-contact
lookup and the idempotent best-effort upsert; the Stripe webhook and every
new call site now go through it instead of inlining the same pattern.
New event types and their triggers:
- Equipment (
lib/actions/equipment.ts)booking_confirmedonreserveEquipment(always; a manager booking on behalf still emails the target member).booking_cancelledoncancelReservationonly when the actor is not the affected member (self-cancels stay silent; the actor already saw the UI confirm).
- Classes (
lib/actions/classes.ts)class_signup_registered/class_signup_waitlistedonsignUpForClass, picked from the RPC's returned signup status.class_signup_promotedoncancelMySignupwhenclass_cancel_txreturns apromoted_id(the bumped waitlist member).class_session_cancelledonupdateSessionwhen status flips tocancelled. Fans out one row per still-active signup (registered or waitlisted), dedupe by(session, member)so a re-cancel is a no-op.
- Forms (
lib/actions/forms.ts,submitForm)form_submission_receivedonly when the submitter is authenticated (members orpublic_auth). Recipient is the verified Supabase auth email, never the typedbody.email. Pure anonymous public submissions skip this confirmation (typed emails could belong to anyone; confirming to them would be a victim-spam vector).form_submission_adminfans out to every member who holdsforms.manage, dedupe by(submission, admin). The admin link goes to/forms/<id>/results. Finding the recipient set efficiently is what migration 047 (members_with_permission(sid, perm)) exists for: an inverted, set-returning form ofuser_has_permissionthat respects the same current/late status gate (046) and the same admin shortcut + space-role-permissions / effective-roles fallback. Additive; existinguser_has_permissioncallers unchanged.
Dedupe-key scheme (all keyed under (space_id, dedupe_key)):
booking_*:<reservation_id>; signup-keyed class events
class_signup_*:<signup_id> (stable across promotion);
class_session_cancelled:<session_id>:<member_id>;
form_submission_received:<submission_id>;
form_submission_admin:<submission_id>:<admin_id>.
Every enqueue is best-effort and wrapped: a notifications-table or permission-lookup failure can never throw into the calling action, so the underlying domain mutation always finalizes.
Member notification preferences (migration 048; product spine Phase 5)
Per-member opt-out of muteable notification categories. The 11 event types map
to five categories in pure logic (lib/notifications-prefs-logic.ts,
unit-tested): billing (the three dues types), bookings, classes, forms
(submitter receipts), and admin_alerts (the form_submission_admin fan-out).
billing is deliberately NOT muteable: dues renewed / payment-failed / lapsed
are membership-critical (a muted lapse notice would let a member silently lose
access for non-payment), so they always send and never render a toggle. The
other four are muteable, default-on (opt-out model: a member who never touches
the toggles keeps today's behavior). Adding a new event type only needs a line
in TYPE_CATEGORY and a renderer; the storage and dispatcher do not change.
The preference is enforced at dispatch time, not enqueue time: the domain
actions and the Stripe webhook are unchanged and still enqueue every row. The
dispatcher batch-loads the preferences for the members in the drain set (keyed
by member_id, a globally-unique space_members PK) and, via the pure
isMuted(prefs, type), marks a muted row skipped (a terminal status that
leaves the pending pool) instead of calling the mail provider. No send, no
Resend call, no rate-limit spacing for a muted row. The prefs lookup fails open
(send everything) on error, so a transient blip can never silently drop a
wanted email. Billing and unmapped types are never muted regardless of stored
prefs (defense-in-depth, tested). This governs emails sent and inbox noise (the
real cost and the volume governor for the Phase 4 fan-outs), not table rows.
notification_preferences (PK (space_id, member_id, category)) has RLS
enabled and no client policy (default-deny), the same convention as
notifications / member_billing: the member self-view
(getMyNotificationPreferences) and the toggle write
(setMyNotificationPreference, Zod-validated to the muteable categories only,
upsert scoped to the caller's own member row) both go through validated
service-client actions, and the dispatcher reads via the service client. The
toggles render on the /me Activity tab; a skipped row shows as "Muted" in
the member's own notification history. No new permission code.
Member self-serve portal (/me; product spine Phase 3)
/me is a 3-tab portal (Profile / Membership / Activity). The server page does all data fetching and passes plain data to a single client portal component (me-portal-client.tsx) that owns tab state and rendering; the read-only sections were moved verbatim from the prior flat page (no behavior change in the shell). Profile editing and inline cancels reuse existing server actions (updateMyProfile, discloseAffiliations, cancelMySignup, cancelReservation) — no new mutation surface, server-side ownership/space scoping unchanged. getMyPayments follows the established service-client self-view convention (treasurer-scoped RLS, strictly scoped to the caller). Self-service email change goes through Supabase Auth (updateUser + /auth/confirm verifyOtp); the denormalized space_members.email is synced only post-verification. The email-change flow depends on Supabase project config (template + redirect allowlist; see DEPLOYMENT) and is inert until that is set. No new permission code, no schema change.
Observability / error monitoring (Phase 1: app-side seam)
A backend-agnostic capture seam, modeled on the lib/email/send.ts transport
pattern (a one-purpose fetch transport, no SDK). lib/observability/capture.ts
sends Sentry-format events to a self-hosted GlitchTip (or any Sentry-compatible)
ingest endpoint named by SENTRY_DSN. It is inert by default: with
SENTRY_DSN unset every captureException/captureMessage is a no-op, so the
seam ships to prod dark until the backend is provisioned (Phase 2). Capture is
always best-effort and never throws into a caller (a logging-backend blip must
not be able to break the money path, a cron, or a request); the send is
fire-and-forget with a short abort timeout. All event content (message,
exception value + stack, tags, extra) is run through the pure, unit-tested
lib/observability/scrub.ts (redacts emails, JWTs, Bearer tokens, Stripe
sk_/rk_/whsec_ keys, Resend re_ keys, and bare high-entropy hex while
leaving dashed UUIDs intact) so no credential or PII leaves the box.
Coverage is two-pronged: instrumentation.ts onRequestError is the
framework-wide net for anything thrown out of a route handler, server
component, or server action (broad server-action coverage with no per-action
wiring); swallowed best-effort failures that never reach that hook are captured
manually at their sites: the Stripe webhook (dedupe + handler 500), both crons
(/api/cron/notifications, /api/cron/door-ingest), the central
enqueueNotification, and the door-ingest insert. Server-side only (no client
SDK / bundle impact) in this phase. Phase 2 stands up the GlitchTip backend on
the droplet and sets the DSN.
13. Known Limitations
- Test suite - Extensive Vitest unit coverage of pure logic (
__tests__/, run withpnpm test, hermetic), Playwright smoke e2e (e2e/), and a DB-backed integration suite (integration/, run withpnpm test:integrationagainst a real Postgres; self-skips without one) that drives the shipped SQL throughpsqland the route handlers through their actual exports: the advisory-lock signup/cancel RPCs (045), the equipment exclusion constraint (042), the self-change trigger +members_updateWITH CHECK (043/044), the billing/notification idempotency invariants, the Stripe webhook end to end (real signed events, vault secret resolution, replay, out-of-order period guard), and the RLS-layer privilege-status gate (046). Remaining gap: server-action orchestration beyond those critical paths still has no integration coverage, and e2e is mostly page-render checks. - Payment integrations - Stripe recurring dues IS integrated (product spine Phase 1: per-space keys, hosted Checkout/Portal, the per-space signed webhook). A PayPal sync endpoint exists (
app/api/paypal/sync/route.ts). Manual import/CSV reconciliation remains the path for ad-hoc/other-platform payments; Zeffy/Venmo live APIs are not integrated. - Social auth - GitHub/Google sign-in is wired, gated by the
NEXT_PUBLIC_OAUTH_GITHUB/NEXT_PUBLIC_OAUTH_GOOGLEenv flags. - Webhooks - The HMAC signing contract and secret rotation exist; per-event delivery is not implemented (see
docs/WEBHOOKS.md). - Email notifications - Dues-lifecycle (Phase 2; migration 041) plus booking, class signup, and form-submission events (Phase 4; migration 047) all reuse the same outbox + dispatcher. Member notification preferences (Phase 5; migration 048) let a member opt out of the muteable categories (bookings, classes, forms, admin alerts); billing is always-on. Enforced at dispatch time (muted rows are marked
skipped, never sent). The in-app notification center (Phase 5; migration 051) gives/mean inbox with read/unread state (notifications.read_at) and is the always-on channel: a notification whose email was muted still appears in-app. The single member self-service page is/me(the former/profilewas consolidated into it).
Schema gotcha (migration 052, learned from a production outage): the auth layout resolves membership with
space_members.select('*, spaces(*)'). Do NOT create a table with foreign keys to BOTHspace_membersandspaces-- PostgREST reads it as a junction and makes that embed ambiguous (PGRST201), which nulls every logged-in member and redirects them to/signup.notification_preferenceskeeps only itsmember_id -> space_membersFK for this reason;space_idis a plain column.integration/auth-embed.test.tsguards the embed.
- Search - Client-side filtering only, no server-side full-text search.
- Single space per user - The auth resolver assumes one active membership per user; a user in 2+ spaces is not supported (no space switcher). Fails closed.
