The last split PR of docs/website/API_V2_PLAN.md § Phase 2. public.routes.js,
player.routes.js and auth.routes.js are deleted; each group is now a directory
whose index.js owns the group gate and the mount table and declares no routes.
Every one of the 200 manifest routes is now in a capability router.
public/ posts (2) wiki (4) pages (2) shard (12) site (4, group root)
player/ account (8) shard (8) appeals (4), behind noindex + requireAuth
auth/ login (2) register (1) invite (2) password (3) session (2, root)
No URL moves. All four gates zero-diff: routes.manifest.json (200 public + 2
internal), routes.guards.json, swagger-output.json (198 operations), and
docs/website/api-route-inventory.json was already in sync. 434 tests green.
Notes on the non-mechanical parts:
- public/index.js and auth/index.js carry no group gate, deliberately, and say
so. The public surface is anonymous by contract (logged-out SPA, Discord bot,
Android ShardStreamClient on /public/shard/stream); /auth is where a caller
becomes authenticated. player/index.js gates on requireAuth only, never
requireRole('player') — staff are a superset of players.
- GET /auth/me has a mount-order dependency: use('/me', meRouter) matches the
bare /me, so the request runs meRouter's noindex + requireAuth and falls
through. session.router.js must stay mounted last. Verified by the
counterfactual — mounting it first still 401s but drops X-Robots-Tag, which
no manifest or guards file can see.
- loginGuards moved to auth/loginGuards.js (frozen) rather than being copied
into the three routers that spread it; sso.routes.js drops its duplicate.
- The :param shadowing check was re-run in dispatch order against the built
stack: 86 routes, 64 literal, none shadowed. /public/wiki/{categories,tags}
ahead of /:slug is the only ordering-sensitive pair.

Staff are a superset of players — every player ability plus their staff
tools on top — but the /player/* group ran requireRole('player'), so a
signed-in admin/editor/moderator got 403 on their own linked game
accounts (e.g. GET /player/shard/accounts). On the Android client this
hid "My characters" and greyed the personal notification streams for
staff accounts, even when they had linked characters.
Drop the role gate: the group is now requireAuth-only. Every handler is
already self-scoped to the caller by req.user.id (with the pre-existing
isAdmin bypass still letting a genuine admin read any character), so this
only ever widens access to the caller's OWN data. Staff also reach the
identical self-scoped handlers under /admin/shard/* (same controller).
- player.routes.js: requireRole('player') -> requireAuth; corrected the
five stale "Player role required" 403 descriptions and regenerated
swagger-output.json.
- New test/playerRouteAccess.test.js mounts the router and asserts
player/admin/editor/moderator all reach the handler, anon still 401s,
and a disabled account still 403s. Suite: 420 pass.
