rcourtman 3324ef3909 Keep admin recovery reachable when the legacy RBAC import fails
d235aab3c put MigrateFromFiles on a production path for the default org and
failed NewSQLiteManager whenever the import was rejected. That propagated to
GetManager, so every RBAC route returned 503 including ResetAdminRole, which
is the operator's only way back. The realistic trigger is a v5 install that
recreated a role the v6 store already holds under the same ID, so an
ordinary upgrade could leave an operator with no route to repair it short of
hand-editing the legacy JSON.

Rejecting the import is right and stays: importLegacyRBAC is transactional
and the legacy files are left in place, so a failure leaves the database
un-migrated rather than half-migrated. Missing roles deny access rather than
granting it, which is why the store is safe to keep serving.

The store now stays live and records the failure on MigrationError. The
deliberate fail-closed behaviour of the management surface is preserved
rather than removed: the handler manager accessors surface the migration
failure as the same 503 rbac_store_unavailable as before. Recovery reaches
the provider directly, so it is exempt by construction.

The existing 503 contract test is what caught the first attempt at this,
which simply let the surface serve un-migrated data. It now additionally
asserts recovery is reachable, so the two halves are pinned together.

📚 Pulse Documentation

Welcome to the Pulse documentation portal. Here you'll find everything you need to install, configure, and master Pulse.


v6 Execution Canonical Source

For Pulse v6 build/release execution work, do not start from this broad docs index. Use:

  1. docs/release-control/v6/internal/SOURCE_OF_TRUTH.md for stable human governance and locked decisions
  2. docs/release-control/v6/internal/status.json for live lane state, lane-to-subsystem ownership, structured evidence references, typed lane/subsystem decision records, and canonical ordered lists
  3. docs/release-control/v6/status.schema.json for the machine-readable status contract
  4. docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.json and docs/release-control/v6/internal/subsystems/registry.schema.json for subsystem ownership, explicit shared-ownership exceptions, and proof-routing rules
  5. python3 scripts/release_control/status_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived evidence health audit
  6. python3 scripts/release_control/registry_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem registry audit
  7. python3 scripts/release_control/contract_audit.py --check if you need a machine-derived subsystem contract audit, including explicit cross-subsystem dependency checks and exact registry-derived shared-boundary wording Local pre-commit runs the v6 machine audits against staged control-file content so partial staging cannot hide governance drift. Local pre-commit also blocks partial staging for hook-sensitive governance files under docs/release-control/v6/, scripts/release_control/, internal/repoctl/, .husky/pre-commit, and .github/workflows/canonical-governance.yml, because those checks still execute or structurally read the working-tree versions locally.
  8. python3 scripts/release_control/subsystem_lookup.py <path> [<path> ...] --pretty --lean if you need subsystem ownership, proof routing, exact contract-focus lines, and compact lane context for a change

For governed runtime changes, a staged subsystem contract only counts if its diff updates a substantive contract section such as Purpose, Canonical Files, Shared Boundaries, Extension Points, Forbidden Paths, Completion Obligations, or Current State, rather than metadata alone.

All other documents are supporting references unless explicitly required for evidence.
