Logo and watermark belonged in the private package for one reason: that
is where they were written. Nothing about them needs a hosted platform,
and an installation wanting its own mark on the pages it serves is the
ordinary case rather than the exotic one. They are core's now, and every
installation has them.
Hiding "Powered by ProjectSend" did not come. That is what a hosted
customer pays for, and its gate is not a capability key but the absence
of the code: cloud-modules keeps the listener, so an installation without
that package holds the column and has nothing able to read it. Flipping
an edition variable buys nothing, which was true before and stays true.
Core renders the switch where Capability::AttributionHide is held and has
no route that can save it -- there is a test asserting exactly that, which
fails the day white-labelling quietly becomes free.
The migrations move with their original filenames on purpose. A Cloud
tenant already ran them under those names, so Laravel skips them there
and the table and its data are untouched; a fresh install or a community
one runs them from here for the first time.
What got better on the way rather than merely moving:
The watermark listeners take core's real RenderingImage and
ResolvingImageRendering instead of duck-typed `object` payloads, and the
tests construct the genuine events rather than anonymous stand-ins that
imitated their shape. The package had to do it that way -- it builds with
no host present -- so three PHPStan ignore entries existed to describe
what the type system could not see. They are gone.
ModuleBoundaryTest asserted "branding is cloud-only, and the suite runs as
community", which was never what it was testing. It now reads the
capability off the route and subtracts it, so the invariant holds for
whichever module is installed.
The 43 branding strings arrived in all sixteen locales from the package's
own catalogues rather than being retranslated, and the package's are
pruned to the one string it still uses.
A hosted plan without branding subtracts branding.customize and
attribution.hide from the instance's environment. The row is never
deleted by that: a downgrade is usually an expired card rather than a
decision, and wiping somebody's artwork over a billing event is a loss
they would find weeks later with no way to know what it used to be.
Hiding reverses; deleting does not.
Cloud instances are sold seats rather than administering them, so the
tenant's own /users screens stay closed — capability:users.manage is
already Community-only — and a control plane creates, deactivates and
password-resets staff from outside. This is the key that plane gates on.
Only the declaration lives here, the same division StorageManaged and
Branding already use. Everything behind it is a module in the private
cloud-modules package.
Declared before that module exists, deliberately. A capability added
after a release is invisible to every image built from one, and that is
not hypothetical: StorageManaged landed 36 commits after v2.1.0 and has
never shipped, so a fleet with buckets provisioned, credentials scoped
and eight environment variables in place still writes every upload to
local disk — because the gate is here and the gate never left. Declaring
this one now is refusing to make the same mistake twice.
The seat *number* deliberately does not live here. There are no billing
or plan tiers in this application to key off, which is the reason
config/api.php gives for not inventing an installation-level rate limit,
and it holds for the same reason: the number lives where the plans do.
This capability says only who is in charge.
ModuleBoundaryTest grows the other half of its own rule. It filtered on
`api/v1/`, so a package claiming a route anywhere else passed — not
because that was sanctioned, but because nothing was looking, and
/platform/v1 is about to be somewhere else. What it polices now is
machine surfaces, the roots something other than a browser authenticates
to, with api/v1/modules and platform/v1 as the two sanctioned prefixes.
Written twice, because the first version was wrong in a useful way: it
policed every route and immediately caught community-modules' Custom
Assets screens. Those are a module doing exactly what a module is for,
through the host's session and capability middleware in plain sight, and
listing them would be the hardcoded URI list the test above it explains
it is avoiding. Web screens are not the boundary; trusted perimeters are.
Verified by making it fail: a package controller on platform/v2 is caught
and named.
Client file sharing, rebuilt from the ground up: a private area per
client, resumable uploads, folders, groups and categories, sharing with
expiry dates and download limits, comments, file versions, an activity
log, a REST API, and sixteen languages.
