ahmido a770b32e87 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.
