Publishing: Visibility Transitions, PublicView & Public Read API Implementation Plan
For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (
- [ ]) syntax for tracking.
Goal: Turn the publishing pillar on: a type-driven Visibility state machine (stepwise draft↔internal↔public), an audited db transition + public-only reads, and the first real domain HTTP surface — an unauthenticated, read-only public API (/api/public/objects) that serves only public records as a leak-proof PublicView projection.
Architecture: Three layers, each testable in isolation (no auth needed — the public surface is unauthenticated by definition; the admin HTTP endpoint that triggers transitions waits for the auth phase, same "build capability now, wire surface later" pattern used for search).
domain—Visibility::transition_to/can_transition_to+ anIllegalTransitionerror (the state machine).db—set_visibility(validates via the domain machine, reusesupdate_object's diff/audit path) +public_object_by_id/list_public_objects/count_public_objects(filtervisibility = 'public'in SQL).api— aPublicViewresponse DTO (carries only public-safe fields, so leaking an internal field is structurally impossible) +/api/public/objects(paginated list) and/api/public/objects/{id}(404 for missing or non-public, so non-public existence isn't revealed), registered in the OpenAPI doc.
Tech Stack: Rust 2024, axum 0.8, sqlx 0.8, utoipa 5, serde, thiserror. Tests: #[sqlx::test] (db) and axum oneshot over #[sqlx::test] (api).
Design decisions (approved)
- PublicView is core-only for MVP:
id,object_number,object_name,brief_description. No flexible fields, no location/owner/recorder/dates. Per-field publishability (which would let flexible fields surface selectively) is post-MVP; until then the projection type simply lacks the unsafe fields. - Stepwise transitions: legal single steps are
draft↔internalandinternal↔publiconly.draft→public(andpublic→draft) in one jump is illegal. Setting visibility to its current value is an idempotent no-op (Ok). - Transitions land in
domain+dbonly this phase. The admin HTTP endpoint to invoke them arrives with auth (later phase). - Public-facing search is post-MVP (arch spec §12) — this plan adds no public search endpoint; public list is a
dbquery. - 404, not 403, for a non-public record on the public surface (don't leak existence).
Prerequisites
- Postgres for tests; pass
DATABASE_URLinline. Pass transaction connections as&mut tx(NOT&mut *tx). cargo +nightly fmt(nightly).cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warningsmust stay clean.- The codename "biggus"/"dickus" must appear nowhere in code/comments/identifiers.

Task 1: domain — Visibility state machine
Files: modify crates/domain/src/object.rs, crates/domain/src/lib.rs.
- Step 1: Write the failing tests. Add to the
#[cfg(test)] mod testsincrates/domain/src/object.rs:
#[test]
fn stepwise_transitions_are_legal() {
use Visibility::*;
assert_eq!(Draft.transition_to(Internal), Ok(Internal));
assert_eq!(Internal.transition_to(Public), Ok(Public));
assert_eq!(Public.transition_to(Internal), Ok(Internal));
assert_eq!(Internal.transition_to(Draft), Ok(Draft));
}
#[test]
fn skipping_a_step_is_illegal() {
use Visibility::*;
assert_eq!(
Draft.transition_to(Public),
Err(IllegalTransition { from: Draft, to: Public })
);
assert_eq!(
Public.transition_to(Draft),
Err(IllegalTransition { from: Public, to: Draft })
);
}
#[test]
fn setting_to_current_value_is_a_noop_ok() {
for v in [Visibility::Draft, Visibility::Internal, Visibility::Public] {
assert_eq!(v.transition_to(v), Ok(v));
}
}
-
Step 2: Run to verify it fails.
cargo test -p domain→ FAIL (transition_to/IllegalTransitionmissing). -
Step 3: Implement. In
crates/domain/src/object.rs, after theimpl Visibilityblock (the existing one withas_str/from_db), add the transition API and the error type. (domain has nothiserrordependency — implementDisplay/Errorby hand to keep the core dependency-free.)
impl Visibility {

/// `draft↔internal` and `internal↔public`; `draft↔public` is not one step.

self.from.as_str(),
self.to.as_str()
)
}
}
impl std::error::Error for IllegalTransition {}
In crates/domain/src/lib.rs, extend the object re-export:
pub use object::{CatalogueObject, IllegalTransition, ObjectInput, Visibility};
-
Step 4: Run to verify it passes.
cargo test -p domain→ PASS. -
Step 5: Lint.

Step 6: Commit.

Task 3: api — public read API (PublicView + routes + OpenAPI)
Files: modify crates/api/Cargo.toml, crates/api/src/lib.rs, crates/api/src/openapi.rs; create crates/api/src/public.rs, crates/api/tests/public.rs.

domain = { path = "../domain" }

.merge(openapi::routes())
.merge(public::routes())

In crates/api/src/openapi.rs, register the public paths + schemas. Update the imports and the #[openapi(...)] attribute:
use crate::{AppState, health, public};

Step 5: Run to verify it passes.

- Record-level visibility draft/internal/public with a type-driven state machine → Task 1 (
transition_to/IllegalTransition). ✓ - Fixed never-public field set; public API serves only public records via
PublicView→ Task 3 (PublicViewcarries only safe fields; db filtersvisibility='public'). ✓ - Public surface
/api/public/**, unauthenticated, read-only, OpenAPI (utoipa) → Task 3. ✓ - All SQL stays in
db;apicalls repos → Tasks 2–3. ✓ - Audited writes (visibility change in the amendment history) → Task 2 reuses
update_object's audit. ✓ - 404 (not 403) for non-public → Task 3 handler + test. ✓
Placeholder scan: none. <url>/<key> are the documented env values.
Type consistency: Visibility::{transition_to, can_transition_to} + IllegalTransition defined in Task 1 and consumed in Tasks 2–3; set_visibility/VisibilityError/public_object_by_id/list_public_objects/count_public_objects defined in Task 2 and consumed by Task 3 handlers; PublicView/PublicObjectPage/Pagination defined and used consistently within Task 3; reuses existing catalog::{create_object, object_by_id, update_object, OBJECT_COLUMNS, map_object}, audit::history_for, AppState, db.pool(), and the axum {id} path convention.
Notes for follow-on plans
- Admin transition endpoint + auth: the HTTP surface to invoke
set_visibility(publish/unpublish) is a privileged write — it lands with the auth phase via anAuthorized<Cap>extractor.domainmay then add ergonomicpublish()/unpublish()wrappers overtransition_to(omitted now to avoid dead code). - Required-field completeness on publish:
set_object_fieldsdefers required-completeness to "the publish gate" (seecatalog.rsdoc comment). A future gate should validate that allrequiredfield definitions are present before allowing→ Public. File a gitea follow-up. - On-write search sync: when
set_visibility/ catalogue writes commit, the API/service layer should re-index (index_object) or drop from the index — relates to the Plan 6 deferred on-write sync. - Per-field publishability (post-MVP): replaces the core-only
PublicViewwith a registry-driven projection that can surface selected flexible fields. - Keyset pagination:
list_public_objectsusesLIMIT/OFFSET(fine for MVP). Switch to keyset when collections grow (the same TODO already noted onlist_objects). - Public-facing search (post-MVP): the
searchcrate already storesvisibilityas filterable; add awith_filter("visibility = public")variant when public search is built.
