Site comments (8/3)
- BIM card: LOD removed, IFF # added next to the coordination status, and required
once that status is "Signed off (IFF)" — an unnumbered sign-off isn't traceable.
A LOD already stored on a package is preserved and shown as legacy, not blanked.
- The blue "from SOP types" subtext under a field is now a SOP chip on the label
with the detail in a tooltip. The chip stays visible rather than hover-only:
field tablets have no hover, and "this came from the SOP" is the part that
matters. The hint elements stay in the DOM (hidden) so the code writing to them
keeps working; an observer mirrors their text into the tooltip.
- Specification Section is no longer typed per package. Each WP type carries a
spec section on the SOP; the field is read-only in the Creator and follows the
type, with the SOP's spec folder linked underneath. This reads both spec
comments as one intent — stop typing it, derive it.
- Assignees and Distribution are multi-selects over the SOP project team, showing
each person's job function, with the CM pre-added to Distribution (removable per
package) and a free-text option for people with no account. The stored display
strings are unchanged so print/export/dashboard keep working; account ids ride
alongside for the notification work in wave 3.
Localization + time
- Per-user locale/timezone (Language & time in the user menu), an app-wide default
in the admin console, then the browser. Timezones are validated against the
server's zoneinfo and the picker is fed from it. Calendar dates are formatted
from their parts so a due date never reads a day early in another zone.
- Every displayed timestamp now goes through the shared helpers.
Top-bar chrome
- Project switcher beside the logo and a centered global search, injected into
either generation of top bar; skipped in an iframe so the embedded Creator
doesn't get a second one. Ctrl/Cmd-K focuses search.
- GET /api/search covers work packages, projects and SOPs, scoped to the caller's
projects, hiding archived packages, with LIKE wildcards escaped.
Fixed along the way: showForm() cleared every card's inline display, which undid
applyKind() — so the Package Type and BIM cards reappeared on an install-only
project. Split out applyKindVisibility() and re-apply it there.
Verified: 100 API checks on a fresh database (44 permissions + 22 password reset +
34 search/localization), 24 driven UI checks against the real Creator page in
headless Chrome (SOP chips, both people pickers, spec auto-fill, critical tags,
BIM suppression), and the chrome harness on both bar styles. Screenshots reviewed.

Acts on the site comments from 8/3 plus the follow-ups. Foundation work first —
four of the comments all needed the project team to resolve to real user accounts.
Permissions vs project role (new)
- User.role is now the PERMISSIONS role: admin | project_admin | project_user.
project_admin may delete work packages, change a SOP after it is complete, and
delete a project; project_user may not (archiving a WP is still open to them).
Enforced by require_project_admin() server-side; the UI only hides dead ends.
- New User.project_role holds the person's JOB FUNCTION on the project. It grants
nothing — it feeds the SOP team pickers and notification routing.
- Admin console shows both columns and explains the difference. Migration rewrites
the legacy role 'user' to 'project_user'.
- Deleting a project was previously open to any member and unaudited; it now needs
project_admin and writes an audit event. ProjectData.remove no longer drops the
project from the local cache when the server refuses.
SOP project team from user accounts
- PM/APM/CM/QM and additional team members are pickers over the project's members,
storing the account id next to the display name. A name from an older SOP with no
matching account is kept and flagged rather than dropped.
- The WP Creator lists the SOP team first in the Owner picker, and a new package
defaults to whoever is creating it.
Critical constraints
- SOP constraints carry a Critical flag; buildConstraints() now copies the whole
definition through to the package (it previously reduced them to names, losing
description too), and critical rows are marked in the WP form. The email on
reopen-after-release is wave 3.
Password reset by email
- login.html gains Forgot password and a set-a-new-password view, offered only when
the server reports email is actually configured.
- Single-use signed token (AUTH_RESET_MINUTES, default 60) bound to token_version,
sent immediately rather than through the notifications outbox so a reset link is
never persisted. Identical response for unknown accounts; per-account send
cooldown; a completed reset clears any login lockout.
- Session and reset tokens are no longer interchangeable.
BIM kill-switch
- New admin Features card with bim_enabled, OFF by default. The SOP creator hides
the BIM section and the Creator treats every package as install-only while it is
off; a SOP that already has BIM keeps its data untouched.
Verified with two throwaway-database test scripts: 44 checks on the permissions
matrix and token handling, 22 on the reset flow end-to-end against a local SMTP
sink (real message captured, link extracted and used). Front-end files parse-checked
in headless Chrome. Not yet exercised in a browser against a real login.

The Work Package form was capped at a 1000px column, which wasted most of a
desktop screen, and the only way to reach another package was to scroll to the
Saved table at the bottom.
- Put the form in a wide two-column shell (max 1760px); ctx-bar, mode-wrap and
the release banner widened to match.
- Above 1200px the two-up field grids flow to 3-4 columns instead of stretching
two fields across the whole card. Narrow layouts are unchanged.
- New sticky left rail listing every saved package, grouped by status in field
order, with WP number, subject, readiness dot and type. Click to open it in
the form; the package being edited is highlighted. Filter box, + New and
Dashboard shortcuts, collapsible (state persisted), hidden under 1100px where
the Saved table still covers navigation.
- The rail re-renders from renderSavedList(), so saves, deletes, splits,
archive/restore and the project pull all keep it current.

Brings the Work Package Suite from a browser-local prototype to a
multi-tenant, SQL-backed deployment hardened for customer IP.
Auth & access control
- Local username/password login (bcrypt + JWT in an HttpOnly cookie),
admin-managed users, per-project membership, and project-scoped API access.
- Admin console: change user roles, view the audit trail, manage settings.
Security hardening
- CSP / HSTS / X-Frame-Options / nosniff headers in nginx; Secure cookie via
X-Forwarded-Proto; CSRF Origin check; attribute-safe output escaping.
- Login lockout, token_version session revocation, stronger password policy,
fail-closed secret loading, encrypted (AES-256) database backups.
Persistence & schema
- SOPs and Work Packages are now DB-backed and shared across users, written
through a durable client sync outbox that queues offline edits.
- Alembic migrations applied automatically on container start.
New capabilities
- Phase 2 dashboard (progress, gating, pagination, archive).
- Phase 3 PWA "Field View" with offline caching and auth fallback.
- WP owner assignment with OPTIONAL email notifications, OFF by default and
toggled from the admin console. SMTP password is read only from the
SMTP_PASSWORD env var (never stored); emails carry a WP number + deep link,
never customer IP.
Also: IBM Carbon restyle, Help section, and DEPLOYMENT.md brought up to date.

- API smoke test (server/smoketest.py): stdlib end-to-end check of health,
projects, SOPs, WPs, the AWP issue gate (409 → 200), status, metrics,
comments, and cascade delete. Referenced from DEPLOYMENT.md.
SOP config:
- Constraints: fix custom constraints never appearing — renderStandardConstraints
no longer clobbers state.constraints; customs render in their own list with
remove buttons; modal gains a free-text "Add" field.
- Sources: add column headers (Data Type / Location-Platform / URL / Notes);
preset data types are now fixed labels, "Add Source" creates an editable
custom row.
- Issuance strategy: add a tooltip + worked examples for each option.
- Remove the "Comment submitted" acknowledgement popup (home + suite); keep the
commenter name between comments.
WP creator:
- Clearing the last open constraint now offers to mark the package Issued and
scrolls to the status control.
- Form sections are collapsible (click a section heading to fold it).

- Help: shared help.js injects a Help modal (workflow + key concepts) and the
.help-tip tooltip component. "❔ Help" added to the suite header and home nav.
- Tooltips: ⓘ hover hints on the trickiest fields (WP number auto-build,
disciplines, scope/split, constraints, materials-by-discipline, discipline
strategy, split threshold).
- WP creator: sticky section-nav jump chips at the top and an always-visible
sticky save bar (Save Draft / Save & View) showing live release readiness.
- Dashboard: metric cards (Release-ready / On hold / Overdue / Total) and the
status chips are now clickable filters for the board.
- Consistent colored status pills in the dashboard board and the saved list.
Theme unification (home Carbon vs tools palette) intentionally left for a
separate pass.
