Deletes scripts/openfga-model.additive.json.

Why it is dead

The OpenFGA authorization model moved to cdcf-infra (auth/models/LiturgicalCalendar.json) on 2026-08-04. Since then this file has been applied by nothing: no composer script, no CI workflow, no PHPUnit test, and not even scripts/setup-openfga.sh, whose own header says it "reads store/model IDs only […] the authorization model itself is owned by cdcf-infra […] this script no longer creates or updates the model".

docs/ops/rbac-create-governance-runbook.md already asserts, in its opening note, that "neither scripts/openfga-model.json nor scripts/openfga-model.additive.json exists in this repo any more". That sentence was simply false. This PR makes it true.

Why it was not merely stale

#785 added the new rite_calendar_test object type here, instead of opening the required cdcf-infra PR. The file looks exactly like a live surface — well-formed model JSON, sitting next to the operational scripts — so the edit read as done. The result:

  • rite_calendar_test shipped in ResourceAdminService::VIEWER_OBJECT_TYPES / TEST_OBJECT_TYPES, but exists in no deployed model.
  • listObjects on an unknown type returns 400 type_not_foundRuntimeException.
  • The catch (\RuntimeException) in ResourceAdminService wraps the whole loop and returns array_fill_keys(VIEWER_OBJECT_TYPES, []), so one unknown type empties every type's scope list for every user — dashboard card gating collapses globally, not just for rite-scoped tests.
  • Frontend e2e red: rbac/07-dashboard-card-scoping:143, rbac/12, rbac/13:153, rbac/13:201, rbac/15-dashboard-tests-card-matrix:36.

The type is being added where it counts in CatholicOS/cdcf-infra#31. That PR, not this one, is what actually unblocks the e2e specs; this one removes the trap.

The file had also drifted from the deployed model in ways that would silently reintroduce retired surface if anyone did apply it: it still carries the test_definition type and a deleter relation on every type — both of which authz/openfga-expectations.json now explicitly forbids (forbidden_types, forbidden_relations: {"*": ["deleter"]}).

Reference check before deleting

Full-repo grep for the filename (excluding vendor/, .git/) found it referenced only from documentation, plus one comment:

Reference Kind Action
docs/ops/test-scope-migration-runbook.md:292 Operative runbook step Updated — Step 1 no longer tells an operator to edit the file, and records why that instruction was dangerous.
.github/deploy/rsync-exclude.txt:83 Comment only (no exclude rule) Updated — the justification for shipping scripts/ no longer claims an openfga-model*.json is among the things shipped.
docs/ops/rbac-create-governance-runbook.md Historical record, under a note saying it is retained unchanged Left alone.
docs/superpowers/plans/*, docs/superpowers/specs/* Dated design/plan records Left alone.

Nothing executable referenced it, so deletion breaks nothing. The superpowers/ docs are records of decisions as they were made, not instructions — the same reason rbac-create-governance-runbook.md keeps its original steps verbatim beneath a note saying the world has moved on.

composer lint:md passes (CaptainHook pre-commit, not bypassed).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated deployment guidance to clarify that authorization models are managed and uploaded through the infrastructure repository.
    • Updated the test-scope migration runbook with the revised authorization-model deployment process.
  • Chores
    • Removed the repository-managed authorization model file.
    • Clarified deployment exclusions while retaining server-side operational scripts.

The OpenFGA authorization model moved to cdcf-infra
(auth/models/LiturgicalCalendar.json) on 2026-08-04. Since then this file
has been applied by nothing: no composer script, no CI workflow, no test,
and not even scripts/setup-openfga.sh, which reads store and model IDs but
explicitly "no longer creates or updates the model". Only docs still named
it. docs/ops/rbac-create-governance-runbook.md already asserted, at the top,
that it "does not exist in this repo any more" — deleting it makes that
sentence true.

It was not merely stale, it was harmful. #785 added the rite_calendar_test
type here instead of opening the required cdcf-infra PR, so the type shipped
in ResourceAdminService's VIEWER_OBJECT_TYPES / TEST_OBJECT_TYPES while being
absent from every deployed model. listObjects then returns 400 type_not_found
→ RuntimeException → the loop-wide catch in ResourceAdminService empties every
object type's scope list, collapsing dashboard gating globally. The type is
being added properly in CatholicOS/cdcf-infra#31.

It also drifted from the deployed model in ways that would silently reintroduce
retired surface if anyone did apply it: it still carries the test_definition
type and a deleter relation on every type, both of which authz/openfga-expectations.json
now explicitly forbids.

Alongside the deletion:

- docs/ops/test-scope-migration-runbook.md — Step 1 no longer tells an operator
  to edit the file, and records why that instruction was dangerous.
- .github/deploy/rsync-exclude.txt — the comment justifying why scripts/ ships
  no longer claims an openfga-model*.json is among the things shipped. Comment
  only; no exclude rule referenced the file.

Historical plans and specs under docs/superpowers/ still name it. Those are
dated records of decisions as they were made, not instructions — the same
reason rbac-create-governance-runbook.md keeps its original steps verbatim
under a note saying the world has moved on.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The additive OpenFGA model file was deleted. Deployment comments and the test-scope migration runbook now direct operators to manage the authorization model through cdcf-infra.

Changes

OpenFGA model source migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deployment and runbook updates
.github/deploy/rsync-exclude.txt, docs/ops/test-scope-migration-runbook.md, scripts/openfga-model.additive.json
Deployment comments and runbook instructions now identify cdcf-infra as the sole model source. The obsolete additive model file was deleted.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 75dbb

Deleting the dead model file is otherwise localized, but the deployment rules no longer guard against a future scripts/openfga-model*.json artifact being shipped alongside the infrastructure-owned model, which could create conflicting authorization-model sources. Add the wildcard exclusion or an equivalent CI guard; until then this is a bounded merge-readiness risk.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with a model to share,
cdcf-infra now keeps it with care.
The old file is gone,
The runbook moves on,
And deployment paths are clear as air.

Keep an exclusion rule for local OpenFGA model files.

The scripts/ directory remains deployable, and this block now excludes only coverage tooling and Docker-bootstrap SQL. The comment does not prevent a future scripts/openfga-model*.json file from being transferred.

If a stale model file is reintroduced, it can create a second authorization-model artifact and undermine cdcf-infra ownership. Keep an explicit wildcard exclusion or add an equivalent CI guard.

The supplied docker-compose.yml:277-315 and scripts/setup-openfga.sh:105-122 identify cdcf-infra as the model source and describe the risk of a second model copy.

Proposed exclusion
 # scripts/ itself MUST ship: the operational scripts ...
+# Do not deploy local OpenFGA model artifacts.

CodeRabbit finding declined, with reasoning

Finding: add an explicit scripts/openfga-model*.json exclusion to .github/deploy/rsync-exclude.txt.

Declined — it would invert the intended outcome. That file documents its own semantics at lines 11-16:

GOTCHA (consequence of #2): adding a pattern here does NOT clean up copies already on the server from earlier
deploys — the new pattern protects them from --delete, fossilizing them.

So the two options are:

  • No exclude rule (current PR): the file is gone from the repo, so it is absent from the runner checkout, and
    rsync --delete removes the stale copy from the server on the next deploy. The cleanup happens by itself.
  • With an exclude rule: that same stale server copy becomes protected from --delete and fossilizes
    indefinitely.

Fossilizing it is the specific failure this PR exists to end. scripts/openfga-model.additive.json was declared
dead by docs/ops/rbac-create-governance-runbook.md:16-19, yet it looked live enough that API #785's model change
was written into it instead of into a cdcf-infra PR — which is why rite_calendar_test never reached the deployed
model and several RBAC e2e specs went red.

Verified on this branch: no openfga-model*.json remains tracked or on disk (git ls-files scripts/ | grep openfga-model → empty), so the rewritten comment block is accurate as written.

No change made.
