Summary

Adds a tenant-scoped Entra Groups “Directory Cache” to enable DB-only group name resolution across the app (no render-time Graph calls), plus sync runs + observability.

What’s included
	•	Entra Groups cache
	•	New entra_groups storage (tenant-scoped) for group metadata (no memberships).
	•	Retention semantics: groups become stale / retained per spec (no hard delete on first miss).
	•	Group Sync Runs
	•	New “Group Sync Runs” UI (list + detail) with tenant isolation (403 on cross-tenant access).
	•	Manual “Sync Groups” action: creates/reuses a run, dispatches job, DB notification with “View run” link.
	•	Scheduled dispatcher command wired in console.php.
	•	DB-only label resolution (US3)
	•	Shared EntraGroupLabelResolver with safe fallback Unresolved (…last8) and UUID guarding.
	•	Refactors to prefer cached names (no typeahead / no live Graph) in:
	•	Tenant RBAC group selects
	•	Policy version assignments widget
	•	Restore results + restore wizard group mapping labels

Safety / Guardrails
	•	No render-time Graph calls: fail-hard guard test verifies UI paths don’t call GraphClientInterface during page render.
	•	Tenant isolation & authorization: policies + scoped queries enforced (cross-tenant access returns 403, not 404).
	•	Data minimization: only group metadata is cached (no membership/owners).

Tests / Verification
	•	Added/updated tests under tests/Feature/DirectoryGroups and tests/Unit/DirectoryGroups:
	•	Start sync → run record + job dispatch + upserts
	•	Retention purge semantics
	•	Scheduled dispatch wiring
	•	Render-time Graph guard
	•	UI/resource access isolation
	•	Ran:
	•	./vendor/bin/pint --dirty
	•	./vendor/bin/sail artisan test tests/Feature/DirectoryGroups
	•	./vendor/bin/sail artisan test tests/Unit/DirectoryGroups

Notes / Follow-ups
	•	UI polish remains (picker/lookup UX, consistent progress widget/toasts across modules, navigation grouping).
	•	pr-gate checklist still has non-blocking open items (mostly UX/ops polish); requirements gate is green.

# Quickstart: Entra Group Directory Cache (Groups v1)
## Goal
Populate a tenant-scoped cache of Entra ID groups (metadata only) via background sync runs, enabling safe UI rendering without live directory calls.
## Prerequisites
- Graph integration configured (client credentials / app-only)
- Database migrated (feature migrations applied)
- Queue worker running for jobs (required for sync)
- Scheduler/cron running for periodic sync (optional, if enabled)
### Local (Sail) quick commands
- Bring containers up: `./vendor/bin/sail up -d`
- Run migrations: `./vendor/bin/sail artisan migrate`
- Run the queue worker (separate terminal): `./vendor/bin/sail artisan queue:work`
- Run the scheduler loop (separate terminal, optional): `./vendor/bin/sail artisan schedule:work`
## Operator workflow (manual)
1. Switch into a tenant workspace.
2. Go to **Directory → Group Sync Runs**.
3. Click **Sync Groups** (creates/reuses a run and dispatches a background job).
4. Open the run and wait for status to complete.
5. Go to **Directory → Groups** and confirm list/search/detail are populated from the cache.
Notes
- Search is cached-only and typically requires at least 2 characters.
- If the cache is empty, the Groups list will be empty until a sync completes.
## Scheduled sync
- Ensure the scheduler is running (cron or `schedule:work`).
- Verify **Directory → Group Sync Runs** shows runs with empty Initiator (scheduled).
- The dispatcher command is `tenantpilot:directory-groups:dispatch` (configured to run every minute).
## Verification
- UI pages that show group IDs render using cached data only.
- Unresolved IDs show a clear fallback.
- Groups not seen for >90 days are eventually purged.
Suggested validation checks
- `./vendor/bin/sail artisan migrate:status | grep entra_group`
- `./vendor/bin/sail artisan schedule:list | grep directory-groups`
