Deleting a content type removes its per-type rows from every role (the affected roles' `version` goes up by one), and
creating one with the key of a deleted type clears any stale row for that key.
## Users, invites and ownership
A user has exactly one stored role, `role_id`, and nothing else: there is no `role` string any more (the
`users.role` column of older databases stays in place, unused). `RoleRef` is the one role summary shape,
`{ id, name, built_in, locked }`. It appears as `access.role` in `GET /v1/auth/me`, as `role` on user and invite items
(`null` for a user whose role cannot be resolved) and in the responses below. `PublicUser` is exactly `id`, `username`,
`email`, `is_verified`, `created_at`, `updated_at` and `display_name` in every response that includes a user (login,
verify, register, invite accept, `GET /v1/auth/me`); `GET /v1/auth/me` adds `author` and `access`.
| Route | Permission | Session only | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `GET /v1/user` | `users.view` | no | Users and open invites, newest first. A user is `{ id, kind: "user", username, display_name, email, role, status: "accepted", created_at }`; an invite is `{ id, kind: "invite", email, role, status, created_at }`. The roles are read with one `List` call. |
| `PUT /v1/user/{id}/role` | `users.change_role` | yes | Body `{"role_id": N}` (required). Answers 200 with the user item. |
| `POST /v1/user/invite` | `users.invite` | no | Body `{"email", "role_id"}`; `role_id` is optional and 0 or absent means the Writer role. Answers 201 `{ id, kind: "invite", email, status, role, created_at, expires_at }`. |
| `POST /v1/user/invite/{id}/renew` | `users.invite` | no | Renews an expired or pending invite; it keeps its role and the response carries it. |
| `DELETE /v1/user/invite/{id}` | `users.invite` | no | Cancels an invite (204). No coverage is needed: cancelling removes power. |
| `POST /v1/site/transfer-ownership` | `system.transfer_ownership` | yes | Body `{"user_id", "confirm_email"}` (both required). Answers 200 `{ "owner": { id, name }, "former_owner": { id, name, role } }`. |
The no-escalation rule applies to people as it does to roles: the caller must cover (`GrantSet.Covers`) the target's
current role and the new role on a role change, the role of an invite on create and renew. An API key may create and
renew invites, and the check then uses the live role of the key's creator. Nobody can give, take away or invite to the
Owner role: `PUT /v1/user/{id}/role` to or from it, and an invite for it, are 403 `role_locked`; only the transfer moves
the Owner role. Changing the role of your own account is 403 `own_role`. Giving the role a user already holds answers
200 and writes and records nothing. A role change keeps `token_version`, sessions and keys: the next request is decided
by the new grants. An unverified user may be given a role.
The order of checks on `PUT /v1/user/{id}/role` is: session, permission, id, body, target user, target holds a locked
role, `role_id` lookup, new role locked, own account, current role covered, new role covered, same role (no-op), write.
On `POST /v1/user/invite`: permission, rate limiter, body, inviter, role (default Writer), role locked, role covered,
email already has an account, pending invite, create, mail. On `POST /v1/user/invite/{id}/renew`: invite lookup (404),
already accepted (409), invite role covered, renew, mail. On `POST /v1/site/transfer-ownership`: session, permission,
body, target, `confirm_email`, write. Every refusal writes nothing, not even the deletion of an expired invite.
| Status | Body | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 400 | `invalid_role` | `role_id` names no role (user change or invite), or the invite's role no longer exists on renew. |
| 400 | `invalid_transfer` | The transfer target is unknown, yourself, unverified, or not a user (an invite id is never valid). |
| 400 | `confirmation_mismatch` | `confirm_email` differs from the target's email (exact, case-sensitive match). |
| 403 | `role_locked` | The target holds the Owner role, or the role to give is the Owner role. |
| 403 | `own_role` | The target of a role change is the caller's own account. |
| 403 | `escalation` | A role to cover is above the caller's grants; `X-Escalation-Key` names the first offending key. |
| 403 | `missing_permission` | The gate, with `X-Missing-Permission`. A key on a session-only route answers 403 "This action needs a real session." first. |
| 404 | `user_not_found` | Unknown user id on `PUT /v1/user/{id}/role`. |
| 409 | `user_role_changed` | The target's role changed between read and write (a compare-and-swap on the role that was read), or the caller no longer holds the Owner role on a transfer. |
Transferring ownership moves the Owner role to the target and gives the former owner the built-in Admin role in one
transaction; both keep `token_version`, cookies and API keys, so the former owner's next request is decided by the
Admin grants and the new owner's by the Owner grants. Exactly one verified user holds the Owner role afterwards, also
under two simultaneous transfers (one answers 200, the other 409).
Accepting an invite (`POST /v1/auth/invite/accept`) creates the user with the role the invite names, read at accept
time; an invite whose `role_id` is 0 or names a deleted role answers the usual invalid-invite 404 and creates nothing.
Registration creates the first user with the built-in Owner role; when the Owner role is not seeded it answers 500.
A user whose `role_id` is 0 or names no role is denied on every gated route (403 `missing_permission`) and gets 500 on
`GET /v1/auth/me`; it is never promoted.
Activity: `user.change_role` (category `users`, target the user, `changes` holds `{ field: "role", kind: "text", before,
after }` with the role names, params `from` and `to` hold the role ids) and `user.transfer_ownership` (category `users`,
`security: true`, target the new owner, params `from` and `to` hold the two user ids). `invite.create` and
`invite.accept` carry the params `role_id` and `role` (the role name); `invite.renew` is unchanged. A refusal and a
no-op record nothing; a storage failure at the write records the same event with outcome `failed`.
