Write up the design for a repo-wide visibility layer before building. Today
the state is fragmented: 7 modules carry ad-hoc isPublic booleans (picture,
cards, presi, memoro, times, broadcast.audience, uload.tags) with
inconsistent semantics and mostly no UI; the majority of modules (library,
calendar, todo, places, events, recipes, goals, habits, quiz, wardrobe,
invoices-clients, …) have nothing. Spaces only carry member permissions,
no public tier. The existing encryption layer (27 encrypted tables) is not
a blocker — embeds.ts already demonstrates "decrypt client-side, inline
plaintext into the publish snapshot".
Design:
- @mana/shared-privacy package with `VisibilityLevel = 'private' | 'space'
| 'unlisted' | 'public'`, a `<VisibilityPicker>` svelte component, and
predicate helpers (canEmbedOnWebsite, isVisibleToSpaceMember, …)
- Per-record `visibility text not null default 'private'` on public-capable
tables only; `unlistedToken`, `visibilityChangedAt`, `visibilityChangedBy`
alongside. Field stays plaintext so RLS + publish resolvers can read it
without the user's master key
- Default-per-space-type: personal → private, team/club → space. Never
public/unlisted by default
- Embed resolvers gate hard on `canEmbedOnWebsite`; user filters (tags,
status, date window) stack on top, never replace
- RLS predicate extended: `space_member OR visibility='public' OR
(visibility='unlisted' AND unlisted_token matches header)`
Rollout (soft-first / hard-follow-up per existing migration convention):
M1 shared package · M2 library (pilot) · M3 picture (replaces isPublic) ·
M4 calendar + todo + goals · M5 places/events/recipes/habits/quiz/wardrobe
/invoices · M6 legacy-flag consolidation · M7 /settings/privacy overview
+ kill-switch · M8 (optional) unlisted share links.
Out of scope: per-user sharing, field-level visibility, visibility
cascading, time-boxed public, search-indexing by default. Documented
explicitly so the first implementer doesn't reopen these.
No code yet — waiting on user go-ahead before starting M1.
