Subject: [PATCH] feat: action-surface contract inspect affordance + clickable
 rows (#100)

Implements Spec 082 updates to the Filament Action Surface Contract:

- New required list/table slot: InspectAffordance (clickable row via recordUrl preferred; also supports View action or primary link column)
- Retrofit view-only tables to remove lone View row action buttons and use clickable rows
- Update validator + guard tests, add golden regression assertions
- Add docs: docs/ui/action-surface-contract.md

Tests (local via Sail):
- vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
- vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceValidatorTest.php
- vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Rbac/ActionSurfaceRbacSemanticsTest.php
- vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Filament/EntraGroupSyncRunResourceTest.php

Notes:
- Filament v5 / Livewire v4 compatible.
- No destructive-action behavior changed in this PR.

+# Action surface contract
+
+This project enforces a small “action surface contract” for Filament Resources / Pages / RelationManagers to keep table UIs consistent, quiet, and safe.
+
+## Inspect affordance (required)
+
+Any list-style surface that exposes records must provide an **inspect affordance** so an admin can open a record.
+
+Accepted implementations:
+
+- **Clickable rows** (preferred): set `recordUrl()` for the table.
+- **View action**: a `ViewAction` in the row actions.
+- **Primary link column**: a column that is clearly the primary affordance to open the record.
+
+### Rule: no lone “View” button
+
+Avoid rendering a table that only has a single `View` row action. This creates visual noise and adds an unnecessary Actions column.
+
+Preferred approach:
+
+- Make the row clickable via `recordUrl()` and set `actions([])` so no Actions column is rendered.
+
+## RBAC / safety
+
+- If the current user cannot inspect a record, `recordUrl()` must return `null` for that record.
+- UI visibility is not authorization; always enforce permissions at the policy / resource level.

+# Data Model — Action Surface Contract
+
+This feature introduces a small, explicit model for declaring and validating action surfaces.
+
+## Entities
+
+### ActionSurfaceDeclaration
+
+Represents the contract declaration attached to a Filament component.
+
+**Fields**:
+- `version` (int): schema version for forward compatibility (start at `1`).
+- `componentType` (enum): `Resource | Page | RelationManager`.
+- `className` (string): fully qualified class name (filled by validator when reporting).
+- `panelScope` (enum): `Tenant | Admin` (filled by validator based on discovery context).
+- `profile` (enum): contract profile (see below).
+- `slots` (map<ActionSurfaceSlot, SlotRequirement>): required and optional slots for this component.
+- `exemptions` (list<ActionSurfaceExemption>): explicit exemptions with reason.
+- `defaults` (ActionSurfaceDefaults): shared UX defaults (e.g., `moreGroupLabel`).
+
+### ActionSurfaceSlot (enum)
+
+Discrete UI locations that may contain actions.
+
+Proposed baseline slots:
+- `ListHeader`
+- `ListRowPrimary`
+- `ListRowMoreMenu`
+- `ListBulkMoreGroup`
+- `ListEmptyState`
+- `DetailHeader`
+
+(Profiles determine which slots are required.)
+
+### SlotRequirement
+
+Requirement status for a single slot.
+
+**Fields**:
+- `status` (enum): `Satisfied | Exempt`.
+- `details` (optional string): freeform explanation or expected actions.
+- `requiresTypedConfirmation` (bool, default false): indicates the actions in this slot require typed confirmation.
+
+### ActionSurfaceExemption
+
+Represents a justified opt-out for a required slot.
+
+**Fields**:
+- `slot` (ActionSurfaceSlot)
+- `reason` (string, required, non-empty)
+- `trackingRef` (optional string)
+
+### ActionSurfaceDefaults
+
+Shared defaults enforced/checked by CI.
+
+**Fields**:
+- `moreGroupLabel` (string, required): must be `More`.
+- `exportIsDefaultBulkActionForReadOnly` (bool): default expectation for ReadOnly + RunLog profiles.
+
+## Profiles (enum)
+
+Profiles map component archetypes to required slots.
+
+Proposed profiles (initial set):
+- `CrudListAndEdit`: list + edit page exists.
+- `CrudListAndView`: list + view page exists.
+- `ListOnlyReadOnly`: list-only, no edit/view.
+- `RunLog`: operational log list (read-only, expects Export bulk action by default).
+
+## Validation rules (CI)
+
+For each in-scope class:
+- Must define an action surface declaration.
+- Must select a profile.
+- For every slot required by that profile:
+  - slot must be present with `Satisfied`, OR
+  - slot must be marked `Exempt` and there must be a matching exemption with non-empty reason.
+- Defaults must include `moreGroupLabel = "More"`.
+
+Note: The validator is intentionally declarative; it validates the presence and completeness of the declaration (and exemptions), not the exact runtime Filament action configuration.

+# Implementation Plan: Action Surface Contract + CI Enforcement
+
+**Branch**: `082-action-surface-contract` | **Date**: 2026-02-08 | **Spec**: specs/082-action-surface-contract/spec.md
+**Input**: Feature specification from specs/082-action-surface-contract/spec.md
+
+## Summary
+
+Introduce a declarative “Action Surface Declaration” for every in-scope admin UI component (Resources, Pages, embedded relationship sub-lists), enforce it via a deterministic Pest guard in CI, and add representative runtime tests for constitution-critical action behavior.
+
+Key behavior:
+- Contract profiles define minimum required action slots (list header/row/bulk/empty-state, detail header).
+- Declarations must satisfy each required slot or explicitly exempt it with a reason.
+- CI fails on missing declarations, missing required slots, or empty exemption reasons.
+- Representative runtime tests verify grouping/confirmation/RBAC/canonical-run-link behavior on selected surfaces.
+
+## Technical Context
+
+**Language/Version**: PHP 8.4.x  
+**Primary Dependencies**: Laravel 12, Filament v5, Livewire v4  
+**Storage**: PostgreSQL (Sail)  
+**Testing**: Pest v4 (PHPUnit 12 runner)  
+**Target Platform**: Web application (Laravel Sail for local; Dokploy for deploy)  
+**Project Type**: Laravel monolith (admin console via Filament panels)  
+**Performance Goals**: Contract validation completes in < 1s locally/CI (pure PHP, no network)  
+**Constraints**:
+- Deterministic CI enforcement (no Livewire browser interactions)
+- No new external calls introduced
+- Must preserve RBAC semantics (non-member 404; member missing capability 403)
+- Must not change panel architecture (tenant/admin/system panels remain)
+- No deep runtime introspection of every Filament action in CI for this iteration
+**Scale/Scope**: ~100 Filament classes (Resources/Pages/RelationManagers); enforcement is repo-wide within scope
+
+## Constitution Check
+
+*GATE: Must pass before Phase 0 research. Re-check after Phase 1 design.*
+
+- Inventory-first: N/A (this feature is UI governance; no inventory model changes)
+- Read/write separation: N/A (no new domain writes introduced by the validator)
+- Graph contract path: PASS (no new Graph calls)
+- Deterministic capabilities: PASS (capability rules stay registry-driven)
+- RBAC-UX: PASS (enforcement continues to use central UI helpers; server-side remains authoritative)
+- Run observability: PASS (validator runs in CI only; no operations started)
+- Data minimization: PASS (no new storage)
+- Badge semantics (BADGE-001): N/A
+- Filament UI Action Surface Contract: PASS (this feature implements the CI gate itself)
+
+## Plan Phases
+
+### Phase 0 — Research (output: research.md)
+
+Decide and document:
+- How to enumerate in-scope classes for tenant + admin panels (excluding widgets)
+- How declarations are attached (static method vs attributes vs config)
+- What “slots” exist and how exemptions are represented (reason required; tracking optional)
+- How the Pest guard reports actionable failures
+
+### Phase 1 — Design (outputs: data-model.md, contracts/*, quickstart.md)
+
+Design artifacts:
+- Data model for declarations, slots, exemptions, and profiles
+- JSON schema contract for the declaration payload (for future tooling)
+- Quickstart explaining how to add a declaration + how to run the guard
+
+### Phase 2 — Planning (output: tasks.md later via /speckit.tasks)
+
+Implementation plan will include:
+- New support classes under `app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/**`
+- Pest guard test under `tests/Feature/Guards/**`
+- Minimal retrofit for existing “bulk none” surfaces via declarations + targeted exemptions (repo-green first)
+- Representative runtime assertions for action grouping, confirmation, and canonical run links

+# Quickstart — Action Surface Contract
+
+This quickstart describes how developers will satisfy the Spec 082 contract once the validator is implemented.
+
+## Add a declaration to a Filament component
+
+For an in-scope class (Resource, Page, RelationManager), add a static declaration method.
+
+Example (shape only; exact namespaces/classes defined in implementation):
+- Add `public static function actionSurfaceDeclaration(): ActionSurfaceDeclaration`
+- Select a `profile`
+- Declare required slots as satisfied
+- Keep defaults aligned (group label `More`)
+
+## Exempt a slot
+
+If a required slot is intentionally not present:
+- Mark the slot as `Exempt`
+- Add an exemption entry with a non-empty `reason`
+- Optionally provide a `trackingRef`
+
+## Run locally
+
+- Run the contract guard test:
+  - `vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact --filter=ActionSurfaceContract`
+
+## Interpreting failures
+
+Failures will point to:
+- the class missing a declaration
+- which required slots are missing
+- which exemptions are invalid (missing/empty reason)
+
+The failure output is intended to be actionable, similar to existing guard tests in `tests/Feature/Guards/*`.

+# Research — Action Surface Contract + CI Enforcement
+
+This document resolves planning unknowns for Spec 082 and records key design decisions.
+
+## Decision 1 — Scope enumeration (Tenant + Admin panels; exclude Widgets)
+
+**Decision**: The validator enumerates in-scope Filament classes by scanning `app/Filament/**` for Resources, Pages, and RelationManagers and then filtering to:
+- `app/Filament/Resources/**` (tenant panel discovery)
+- `app/Filament/Pages/**` (tenant panel discovery)
+- `app/Filament/RelationManagers/**` (used by resources)
+- plus any admin-panel explicit resources/pages registered via `app/Providers/Filament/AdminPanelProvider.php`
+
+Widgets are explicitly excluded.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Matches clarified spec scope (Tenant + Admin panels; Resources/Pages/RelationManagers; exclude Widgets).
+- Deterministic and fast (filesystem + reflection; no UI runtime required).
+- Aligns with existing repo patterns (guard tests that scan filesystem and fail with actionable output).
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Discovering via Filament panel runtime discovery: rejected (adds runtime coupling and can be non-deterministic in CI).
+- Enumerating only by filesystem: accepted as baseline, but we still need a small allowlist for admin explicit registrations.
+
+## Decision 2 — Declaration attachment mechanism
+
+**Decision**: Each in-scope class provides a declaration via a static method (e.g., `public static function actionSurfaceDeclaration(): ActionSurfaceDeclaration`).
+
+**Rationale**:
+- PHP-first, simple, no attribute parsing or config conventions.
+- Easy to require/validate by reflection.
+- Plays well with existing Filament static patterns (Resources already use statics like `$recordTitleAttribute`).
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- PHP 8 attributes: rejected for now (slower adoption, harder to keep structured without additional tooling).
+- Central registry config: rejected (drifts away from the component, discourages ownership).
+
+## Decision 3 — Contract enforcement: “declare or exempt” + representative runtime checks
+
+**Decision**: CI enforces that each in-scope class has a declaration and that every required slot is either marked satisfied or has an explicit exemption with a non-empty reason.
+
+The validator does not attempt to prove that every underlying Filament `table()` / `getHeaderActions()` actually contains those actions. Instead, representative runtime tests cover constitution-critical behavior (grouping, confirmation, RBAC semantics, canonical run links).
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Deterministic and robust across Filament internal changes.
+- Avoids brittle source parsing and avoids needing Livewire/Filament runtime contexts.
+- Still forces explicit human intent on each surface, which is the governance goal.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- AST/static parsing of PHP to verify `->actions()` / `->bulkActions()` usage: rejected (high complexity and brittleness).
+- Instantiating Filament objects and introspecting action definitions for every surface in CI: rejected initially (risk of boot/DI coupling). Representative runtime tests are used instead for critical guarantees.
+
+## Decision 4 — Profiles and required “slots”
+
+**Decision**: Model “profiles” that map to component archetypes (e.g., list-only, list+detail, read-only list, run-log list). Each profile defines required slots:
+- List header actions
+- List row actions (max 2 visible; rest in “More”)
+- List bulk actions (grouped; “More” label)
+- List empty-state actions
+- Detail header actions (if the component has a detail view/edit/view page)
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Keeps enforcement simple and consistent.
+- Allows targeted exceptions by profile without exploding per-component logic.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- One giant universal profile: rejected (too many exemptions, low signal).
+
+## Decision 5 — Exemption policy
+
+**Decision**: Exemptions require:
+- a non-empty reason string
+- optional tracking reference (issue/PR link)
+- no deadline requirement
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Matches clarified spec.
+- Keeps CI deterministic (no time-based expiry).
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Required expiry dates: rejected (creates “time bombs” in CI).
+
+## Decision 6 — Standard grouping label and safe-default Export
+
+**Decision**:
+- The canonical group label for secondary row actions and bulk action groups is `More`.
+- For `ReadOnly` + `RunLog` profiles, the default expected safe bulk action is `Export` (otherwise exemption required).
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Matches clarified spec.
+- Provides a consistent, predictable UX baseline.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Allowing arbitrary labels: rejected (inconsistent UX; harder to audit).
+
+## Decision 7 — Typed confirmation threshold
+
+**Decision**: The contract model includes a `requiresTypedConfirmation` flag for actions that are destructive/irreversible, affect > 25 records, or change access/credentials/safety gates.
+
+**Rationale**:
+- Matches clarified spec.
+- Keeps enforcement declarative and reviewable.
+
+**Alternatives considered**:
+- Always requiring typed confirmations: rejected (too heavy for routine admin workflows).

+# Feature Specification: Action Surface Contract + CI Enforcement
+
+**Feature Branch**: `082-action-surface-contract`  
+**Created**: 2026-02-08  
+**Status**: Draft  
+**Input**: User description: "Spec 082 — Action Surface Contract + CI Enforcement"
+
+## Clarifications
+
+### Session 2026-02-08
+
+- Q: Group label standard: “More” vs “Actions” → A: Use “More” as the standard label for secondary row actions and bulk action groups.
+- Q: Standard safe bulk action for ReadOnly/RunLog: allow Export everywhere? → A: Yes — Export is the default safe bulk action for ReadOnly and RunLog surfaces when data exists; otherwise an explicit exemption with reason is required.
+- Q: Exemption policy: time-boxed vs reason-only? → A: Exemptions must include a non-empty reason; an optional tracking link/reference may be included; no deadline is required.
+- Q: Audit policy: destructive-only vs all mutations? → A: Audit events are required for all mutations and for operation-start triggers (run/sync/verify/dispatch).
+- Q: Validator scope/discovery: which components are in-scope for CI enforcement? → A: Tenant + Admin panels; validate Resources, Pages, and embedded relationship sub-lists; exclude Widgets.
+
+## User Scenarios & Testing *(mandatory)*
+
+### User Story 1 - Prevent incomplete UI action surfaces (Priority: P1)
+
+As a developer, when I add or modify an admin-console UI component (list, detail, embedded relationship sub-list), I must explicitly declare its expected action surface (or explicitly exempt parts with a reason), so that automated checks prevent regressions before merge.
+
+**Why this priority**: This is the regression gate. Without it, incomplete action surfaces ship repeatedly and create inconsistent UX and RBAC drift.
+
+**Independent Test**: Add a minimal new UI component without an action surface declaration and confirm the automated gate fails with a precise message; then add a declaration (or exemption) and confirm the gate passes.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a new or modified in-scope UI component without an action surface declaration, **When** validation runs, **Then** it fails with a message naming the component and the missing required slots.
+2. **Given** a component with a complete declaration (or exemptions with reasons), **When** validation runs, **Then** it passes.
+3. **Given** a component uses an exemption, **When** validation runs, **Then** it fails if the exemption reason is missing or empty.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 2 - Consistent, enterprise-grade actions and empty-state guidance (Priority: P2)
+
+As an admin-console user, I see predictable and consistent actions across lists and details: primary actions are obvious, secondary actions are grouped, bulk actions exist where appropriate, and empty states provide an actionable next step.
+
+**Why this priority**: Reduces training cost and operational mistakes; improves speed and confidence in admin workflows.
+
+**Independent Test**: Pick one CRUD-style list and one run-log style list; verify each has the expected action areas (header/row/bulk/empty-state; detail header actions) and that ordering/grouping conventions are consistent.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a list view with records, **When** a user inspects available actions, **Then** they see at most two visible row actions and all secondary actions are grouped under a consistent label.
+2. **Given** a list view with zero records, **When** the page is shown, **Then** it includes at least one CTA that helps resolve the empty state.
+3. **Given** a list view that supports selection, **When** the user selects one or more records, **Then** at least one bulk action is available or the UI explicitly documents why bulk is intentionally not offered.
+
+---
+
+### User Story 3 - Predictable RBAC behavior for members vs non-members (Priority: P3)
+
+As a security reviewer, I need consistent authorization semantics across all in-scope actions:
+- A non-member must not discover tenant/workspace surfaces (deny-as-not-found).
+- A member without the required capability must be prevented from completing the action (deny-as-forbidden), and the UI must communicate why.
+
+**Why this priority**: Prevents information disclosure and capability drift; keeps the product aligned with least privilege.
+
+**Independent Test**: Use a representative surface and verify (a) non-member receives not-found, and (b) member without capability receives forbidden and sees disabled UI with a helpful explanation.
+
+**Acceptance Scenarios**:
+
+1. **Given** a user who is not a member of the relevant tenant/workspace scope, **When** they attempt to access a related page or record, **Then** the response is not-found.
+2. **Given** a user who is a member but lacks capability for a specific action, **When** they attempt to execute the action, **Then** the response is forbidden.
+3. **Given** a member without capability viewing the UI, **When** they inspect the action surface, **Then** disallowed actions are visible-but-disabled with a clear explanation (not silently missing).
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- A surface is intentionally read-only and has no meaningful bulk actions (must be explicitly exempted with a reason).
+- A user loses membership/capability between page load and action execution (server-side enforcement must still apply).
+- Bulk mutations above a risk threshold must require stronger confirmation (typed confirmation) to reduce accidental damage.
+- Empty states that cannot be resolved from within the current surface (CTA should route users to the correct “next step” surface).
+- Global search and cross-scope links must not reveal existence of tenant/workspace data to non-members.
+
+## Requirements *(mandatory)*
+
+**Constitution alignment (required):** This feature is primarily a UI governance and authorization-consistency feature. It MUST not introduce new external calls or long-running operations as part of the enforcement gate.
+
+**Constitution alignment (RBAC-UX):** This feature formalizes 404 vs 403 semantics and requires both UI signaling and server-side enforcement for in-scope actions.
+
+**Constitution alignment (Action Surfaces):** This feature defines and enforces an Action Surface Contract, and introduces a mandatory UI Action Matrix for future admin UI-related specs.
+
+### Functional Requirements
+
+- **FR-001 (Contract profiles)**: The system MUST define a small set of action-surface profiles (e.g., CRUD, ReadOnly, RunLog, embedded relationship sub-lists) that describe minimum expected action areas for list and detail surfaces.
+- **FR-002 (Required action slots)**: For each profile, the system MUST define required action slots for:
+  - list/table header actions,
+  - row actions,
+  - bulk actions,
+  - empty-state CTA(s),
+  - detail header actions,
+  - create/edit save/cancel conventions (where applicable).
+- **FR-003 (Exemptions)**: The system MUST allow explicit exemptions for specific slots, and each exemption MUST include:
+  - a non-empty reason, and
+  - an optional tracking reference (issue/PR link or identifier).
+- **FR-004 (Mandatory declaration)**: For every in-scope admin-console UI component that is new or modified, a declaration MUST exist that:
+  - identifies the profile,
+  - declares which slots are satisfied,
+  - lists any exemptions with reasons.
+- **FR-005 (Automated gate)**: The system MUST automatically validate contract compliance for all in-scope UI components in the code review pipeline, and MUST fail with actionable messages when requirements are not met.
+- **FR-006 (Consistency rules)**: The system MUST enforce the following UX conventions through (a) declaration validation for all in-scope surfaces and (b) runtime tests on representative surfaces:
+  - no more than two visible row actions (typically View/Edit),
+  - secondary actions grouped under the standard label “More”,
+  - bulk actions grouped under the standard label “More”,
+  - destructive actions are never primary.
+- **FR-006a (Default safe bulk action)**: For ReadOnly and RunLog profiles, the default bulk action MUST be “Export” when the surface contains data; if “Export” is not offered, an explicit exemption with a reason is required.
+- **FR-007 (Safety + confirmation)**: Any mutating or destructive action MUST require confirmation. For this feature, compliance is enforced via declaration checks plus representative runtime tests for touched surfaces.
+- Mutation classes for FR-007:
+  - data mutation: create/update/delete/archive/restore/attach/detach,
+  - operation-start trigger: enqueue/dispatch/run/sync/verify/retry actions,
+  - access/safety mutation: role or membership changes, credential or permission updates, safety gate toggles.
+- High-risk bulk actions MUST require typed confirmation when any of the following is true:
+  - the action is destructive/irreversible, or
+  - the action affects more than 25 records, or
+  - the action changes tenant/workspace access, credentials, or operational safety gates.
+- **FR-008 (Auditability)**: All mutations and operation-start triggers MUST use existing audit sinks and MUST write an audit event that records at minimum: actor, scope (tenant/workspace), action type, target(s), timestamp, and outcome.
+- Audit sinks for FR-008:
+  - tenant-scoped actions: `App\Services\Intune\AuditLogger` (writes `audit_logs`),
+  - workspace/platform-scoped actions: `App\Services\Audit\WorkspaceAuditLogger` (writes `audit_logs`).
+- Operation-start triggers MAY satisfy FR-008 via canonical `OperationRun` creation when the action is run-oriented and existing architecture uses `OperationRun` as the observability record.
+- For this feature, FR-008 is enforced as: no regressions on touched representative surfaces and no new ad-hoc audit sink introduced.
+- **FR-009 (RBAC UI gating standard)**: UI gating MUST follow the project’s standard semantics:
+  - non-member → deny-as-not-found behavior,
+  - member without capability → deny-as-forbidden behavior,
+  - UI communicates “forbidden” as visible-but-disabled actions with a tooltip/explanation.
+- **FR-010 (Server-side authorization)**: Server-side authorization MUST be enforced for every action execution (not just UI visibility) and MUST align with FR-009 semantics (see constitution RBAC-UX-001..004).
+- **FR-011 (Canonical run links)**: Any “View run” deep link MUST use the canonical tenantless operations path as the primary link; tenant-scoped convenience links may exist but must not be primary.
+- **FR-012 (Scope)**: The contract MUST cover both the tenant-scoped admin console and the platform/admin console surfaces for resources, pages, and embedded relationship sub-lists.
+- **FR-012a (Explicit CI scope)**: The automated gate MUST validate Resources, Pages, and embedded relationship sub-lists in both tenant-scoped and platform/admin consoles, and MUST exclude Widgets from enforcement.
+
+### Non-Goals
+
+- This feature does not redesign visual layout or page styling.
+- This feature does not change domain workflows (sync/restore/verify), except to ensure action surfaces are complete or explicitly exempted.
+- This feature does not change panel architecture or audience boundaries.
+
+### Assumptions
+
+- A safe, broadly applicable bulk action exists for read-only/run-log surfaces (“Export”) where data volume and permissions allow.
+- Some existing surfaces will require temporary exemptions to keep the repository in a releasable state while retrofit work is completed.
+
+### Enforcement Boundaries
+
+- The CI validator for this feature is declaration-driven and deterministic (filesystem + reflection only).
+- Runtime behavior is verified via representative tests for each profile and each critical rule family (grouping, confirmation, RBAC semantics, canonical run links).
+- Deep runtime introspection of every Filament action in CI is explicitly out of scope for this iteration.
+
+## UI Action Matrix *(mandatory when admin UI components are changed)*
+
+_Note: This matrix applies whenever admin UI components (resources, pages, or embedded relationship sub-lists) are added or changed._
+
+This feature introduces a contract that applies broadly. The matrix below documents the minimum action surface expectations by profile.
+
+| Surface | Location | Header Actions | Row Actions (max 2 visible) | Bulk Actions (grouped) | Empty-State CTA(s) | View Header Actions | Create/Edit Save+Cancel | Audit log? | Notes / Exemptions |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| CRUD list + detail | Tenant panel + Admin panel | Primary: Create (if allowed). Optional: domain CTA (e.g., Sync/Run) | Primary: View, Edit (if allowed). Secondary: grouped under “More” | At least 1 bulk action (e.g., Archive/Restore/Export) | Primary CTA: Create or domain CTA | Primary: Edit (if allowed). Secondary grouped under “More” | Consistent Save + Cancel; no destructive primary | Yes (for mutations + operation-start) | Exempt bulk only with explicit reason (e.g., no safe bulk operation exists) |
+| ReadOnly list + detail | Tenant panel + Admin panel | At least 1 CTA that provides value (e.g., Export/Refresh) | Primary: View. Secondary grouped under “More” | Bulk: Export (default) | CTA that resolves empty state (e.g., Refresh now) | “More” group for secondary actions | N/A | Maybe (typically for operation-start actions) | Exempt Export only with explicit reason (e.g., legal/security constraints) |
+| RunLog list + detail | Tenant panel + Admin panel | Optional CTA routing to Operations hub | Primary: View | Bulk: Export (default) or Prune if retention exists; otherwise exempt with reason | Optional CTA routing to Operations hub | “View run” canonical link; optional Export | N/A | Maybe (for prune/retention changes) | “View run” must be canonical tenantless as primary deep link |
+| Embedded relationship sub-list | Under parent detail | Header: Add/Attach/Create/Refresh depending on context | Primary: View and one context action (e.g., Detach/Remove). Secondary grouped under “More” | At least 1 bulk action or exemption with reason | CTA: next step (Add/Attach/Refresh) | N/A | N/A | Yes (for mutations) | Bulk may be exempted if relationship action is inherently single-record |
+
+### Key Entities *(include if feature involves data)*
+
+- **Action Surface Declaration**: A structured, human-reviewed statement of what actions a surface offers (and why some may be exempt).
+- **Action Surface Profile**: A category of surfaces with shared minimum action expectations (CRUD, ReadOnly, RunLog, embedded relationship sub-list).
+- **Action Slot**: A required location/type of action (header, row, bulk, empty-state, detail header, save/cancel).
+- **Exemption**: A documented, explicit deviation from the contract for a specific slot.
+- **Capability**: The permission concept used to decide whether an action is allowed.
+- **Audit Event**: A record that an action was attempted/executed and its outcome.
+
+### Dependencies
+
+- A single, canonical capability registry exists and is used consistently for authorization decisions.
+- Standard UI gating helpers exist for tenant/workspace scopes and are the only allowed approach for UI enable/disable behavior.
+- A centralized audit-event sink exists to record user-triggered mutations and operation starts.
+
+### Acceptance Notes (verification approach)
+
+- Contract compliance is verified via an automated validation gate that enumerates in-scope UI components and checks required slots/exemptions.
+- Authorization correctness is verified via representative automated tests that prove not-found vs forbidden behavior across at least one surface per profile.
+- Consistency/confirmation/canonical-link behavior is verified on representative runtime surfaces; declaration checks remain the repo-wide completeness gate.
+
+## Success Criteria *(mandatory)*
+
+### Measurable Outcomes
+
+- **SC-001 (Coverage)**: 100% of in-scope UI components are contract-compliant or have explicit exemptions with reasons.
+- **SC-002 (Regression prevention)**: Any new/modified in-scope UI component without a declaration fails validation in the review pipeline.
+- **SC-003 (Action completeness)**: For all CRUD and ReadOnly list surfaces, the selection state always presents at least one bulk action or an explicit exemption.
+- **SC-004 (Authorization correctness)**: At least one representative surface per profile has automated tests proving not-found vs forbidden behavior (non-member vs member without capability).
+- **SC-005 (Developer experience)**: Validation failures provide actionable messages that identify the component and missing slot(s), enabling a fix without additional investigation.

+
+# Tasks: Action Surface Contract + CI Enforcement
+
+**Input**: Design documents from `/specs/082-action-surface-contract/`  
+**Prerequisites**: plan.md (required), spec.md (required), research.md, data-model.md, contracts/, quickstart.md  
+**Tests**: Required (Pest) — this feature adds/changes CI enforcement.
+
+## Phase 1: Setup (Shared Infrastructure)
+
+**Purpose**: Introduce the new support namespace and a guard-test entry point.
+
+- [X] T001 Create ActionSurface namespaces in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/
+- [X] T002 [P] Add guard test skeleton in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+- [X] T003 [P] Add validator test skeleton in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceValidatorTest.php
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Foundational (Blocking Prerequisites)
+
+**Purpose**: Core contract model + discovery + validation that all user stories rely on.
+
+- [X] T004 Create enums for component/profile/slot in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/Enums/ActionSurfaceComponentType.php
+- [X] T005 [P] Create slot + exemption value objects in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/ActionSurfaceExemption.php
+- [X] T006 [P] Create declaration + defaults DTOs in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/ActionSurfaceDeclaration.php
+- [X] T007 Implement profile definitions (required slots per profile) in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/ActionSurfaceProfileDefinition.php
+- [X] T008 Implement in-scope discovery (tenant discovery roots + admin explicit registrations/routes; exclude Widgets and System panel) in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/ActionSurfaceDiscovery.php
+- [X] T009 Implement declaration contract validation (declare-or-exempt; reason required; More label; Export default) in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/ActionSurfaceValidator.php
+- [X] T010 Add fast unit-style tests for validator rules in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceValidatorTest.php (pure validation logic, no DB or Filament boot)
+
+**Checkpoint**: Validator can enumerate + validate in-scope components deterministically.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: User Story 1 — Prevent incomplete UI action surfaces (Priority: P1) 🎯 MVP
+
+**Goal**: CI fails if an in-scope Filament component lacks a declaration (or an explicit exemption with a non-empty reason).
+
+**Independent Test**: Add a new in-scope Filament component without a declaration; run the guard and confirm it fails with an actionable message; add a declaration/exemption and confirm it passes.
+
+- [X] T011 [US1] Implement the CI guard that runs validation in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+- [X] T012 [US1] Add baseline exemptions registry in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/ActionSurfaceExemptions.php (reason required, explicit class allowlist with shrink-over-time rule)
+- [X] T013 [US1] Wire exemptions into validator output in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/ActionSurfaceValidator.php
+- [X] T014 [US1] Make guard output actionable (class + slot + hint) in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+- [X] T015 [US1] Add tests proving widgets are excluded from scope in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+- [X] T031 [US1] Add tests proving unknown classes are not auto-exempted and every exemption reason is non-empty in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+
+**Checkpoint**: Guard passes on main branch state, but blocks missing declarations going forward.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: User Story 2 — Consistent, enterprise-grade actions and empty-state guidance (Priority: P2)
+
+**Goal**: Provide consistent action-surface conventions (More grouping, Export default for RunLog/ReadOnly, empty-state CTA) and demonstrate them on representative surfaces.
+
+**Independent Test**: Pick one CRUD-style list and one run-log style list; verify each has expected action areas (header/row/bulk/empty-state; detail header actions) and consistent ordering/grouping.
+
+- [X] T016 [P] [US2] Define required slots for CRUD/ReadOnly/RunLog/RelationManager profiles in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/ActionSurfaceProfileDefinition.php
+- [X] T017 [P] [US2] Enforce defaults: More label + Export expectation for ReadOnly/RunLog in app/Support/Ui/ActionSurface/ActionSurfaceValidator.php
+- [X] T018 [US2] Add a declaration to a representative CRUD surface in app/Filament/Resources/PolicyResource.php
+- [X] T019 [US2] Ensure list empty-state CTA exists for the CRUD surface in app/Filament/Resources/PolicyResource/Pages/ListPolicies.php
+- [X] T020 [US2] Add a declaration to a representative RunLog surface in app/Filament/Resources/OperationRunResource.php
+- [X] T021 [US2] Ensure Export bulk action is present (or exempted with reason) for the RunLog surface in app/Filament/Resources/OperationRunResource.php
+- [X] T022 [US2] Add a declaration to one embedded relationship sub-list in app/Filament/Resources/PolicyResource/RelationManagers/VersionsRelationManager.php
+- [X] T023 [US2] Add tests asserting the representative declarations satisfy required slots in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+- [X] T032 [US2] Add representative runtime test asserting PolicyResource row/bulk grouping uses “More” conventions in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+- [X] T033 [US2] Add representative runtime test asserting canonical tenantless “View run” link usage in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+- [X] T035 [US2] Add golden regression tests for “view-only lists use clickable rows without row actions” in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+- [X] T036 [US2] Document action-surface contract rules (including “no lone View button; prefer clickable rows”) in docs/ui/action-surface-contract.md
+
+**Checkpoint**: At least one CRUD + one RunLog + one embedded sub-list visibly follow the conventions.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: User Story 3 — Predictable RBAC behavior for members vs non-members (Priority: P3)
+
+**Goal**: Validate consistent 404 vs 403 semantics and disabled-UI behavior for capability-gated actions.
+
+**Independent Test**: Use a representative surface and verify (a) non-member receives not-found, and (b) member without capability receives forbidden and sees disabled UI with a helpful explanation.
+
+- [X] T024 [P] [US3] Add non-member 404 route test on representative operations detail route in tests/Feature/Rbac/ActionSurfaceRbacSemanticsTest.php
+- [X] T025 [US3] Add member-without-capability 403 server-side test by attempting to execute ListEntraGroupSyncRuns::sync_groups as a readonly member in tests/Feature/Filament/EntraGroupSyncRunResourceTest.php
+- [X] T026 [US3] In that 403 test, assert no EntraGroupSyncJob is pushed and no EntraGroupSyncRun is created for the tenant in tests/Feature/Filament/EntraGroupSyncRunResourceTest.php
+- [X] T027 [US3] Ensure disabled-UI semantics are covered for the same action (visible + disabled + standard tooltip) in tests/Feature/Filament/EntraGroupSyncRunResourceTest.php
+- [X] T034 [US3] Add representative observability/audit regression assertion for an operation-start action (OperationRun record present with scope + actor) in tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+
+**Checkpoint**: One surface per profile has coverage for 404 vs 403 semantics.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Polish & Cross-Cutting Concerns
+
+- [X] T028 [P] Run formatter on changed files via vendor/bin/sail bin pint --dirty
+- [X] T029 Run focused guard tests via vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Guards/ActionSurfaceContractTest.php
+- [X] T030 Run RBAC semantics test via vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact tests/Feature/Rbac/ActionSurfaceRbacSemanticsTest.php
+
+---
+
+## Dependencies & Execution Order
+
+- Setup (Phase 1) → Foundational (Phase 2) → US1 (Phase 3) → US2/US3 (Phases 4–5 can proceed in parallel) → Polish (Phase 6)
+
+## Parallel Opportunities
+
+- Phase 2: DTOs/enums (T004–T006) can be done in parallel.
+- US2: Profile definition + validator rules (T016–T017) can be done in parallel.
+- US3: Test scaffolding (T024) can be done in parallel with US2 retrofit tasks.
+
+## Parallel Example: US2
+
+- T018 (PolicyResource declaration) can be implemented in parallel with T020 (OperationRunResource declaration).
+
+## Implementation Strategy
+
+### MVP First (US1 only)
+
+1. Complete Phase 1 + Phase 2.
+2. Implement Phase 3 (US1) guard + exemptions.
+3. Validate guard behavior by adding/removing a declaration locally.
+
+### Incremental Delivery
+
+- Add US2 representative surfaces next (PolicyResource + OperationRunResource + one RelationManager).
+- Add US3 RBAC semantics tests last (keeps scope tight while contract infrastructure stabilizes).
