Resolves #1672 (part of the #1665 Access Control roadmap).

Summary

This PR implements the foundational application-level capability and privilege model for GeoLibre, complementing per-layer capabilities with whole-application role bundles, policy intersection, and UI gating hooks.

Key Changes

  1. Privilege & Role Vocabulary (@geolibre/core):

    • Defined AppPrivilege: layers:edit, layers:add-remote, layers:add-local, processing:run, processing:sidecar, project:save, project:share, project:share-public, plugins:install, assistant:use, connections:manage, export:data, export:image, and settings:manage.
    • Defined standard named role bundles via AppRole (viewer, editor, publisher, administrator, custom).
    • Implemented helper utilities: resolveRolePrivileges, intersectPrivileges (for composing deployment, organization, and share-link policies), hasAppPrivilege, createDefaultAppCapabilities, and normalizeAppPrivileges.
  2. Zustand Store Slice (useAppStore):

    • Added ephemeral capabilities state (defaults to administrator with all 14 privileges).
    • Added actions: setAppRole, setAppPrivileges, grantAppPrivilege, revokeAppPrivilege, resetAppCapabilities, and hasAppPrivilege.
    • Guaranteed strict lifecycle isolation: capabilities are excluded from .geolibre.json serialization and excluded from temporal undo/redo history.
  3. React Hook & UI Gating (useAppCapability):

    • Exported useAppCapability(privilege) returning { granted: boolean, reason?: string }.
    • Integrated gating in ProjectMenu (Save, Save As, Duplicate, Save Template, Share) and ProcessingMenu (Whitebox Toolbox, AI Assistant).
  4. Testing:

    • Added comprehensive unit test suite in tests/app-capabilities.test.ts (24 passing tests) covering role bundles, custom role privilege filtering, multi-set intersection, store actions, ephemeral isolation, and serialization invariance.

Verification

  • node --import tsx --test tests/app-capabilities.test.ts (24/24 pass)
  • npx tsc -b packages/core/tsconfig.json (clean compile, no errors)
  • npx eslint on all modified and new files (0 errors, 0 warnings)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added role- and privilege-based access controls for application capabilities.
    • Added support for managing roles, privileges, restrictions, and access resets.
    • Processing and assistant tools are disabled when the required permissions are unavailable.
    • Project save, duplicate, template, and sharing actions now reflect available permissions.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Sharing is disabled when the configured share host is invalid.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for capability roles, privilege management, persistence boundaries, and undo/redo behavior.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds application privileges, roles, capability state, store actions, normalization, tests, and capability-based disabling for processing and project toolbar actions.

Changes

Application capabilities

Layer / File(s) Summary
Privilege contracts and resolution
packages/core/src/types.ts, packages/core/src/capabilities.ts, tests/app-capabilities.test.ts
Defines 14 privileges, five roles, role bundles, privilege resolution, intersection, checks, defaults, normalization, and helper tests.
Ephemeral capability store integration
packages/core/src/store.ts, packages/core/src/index.ts, tests/app-capabilities.test.ts
Adds ephemeral capability state, role and privilege actions, default administrator capabilities, the useAppCapability hook, public exports, and store integration tests.
Desktop menu capability gates
apps/geolibre-desktop/src/components/layout/toolbar/ProcessingMenu.tsx, apps/geolibre-desktop/src/components/layout/toolbar/ProjectMenu.tsx
Disables assistant and Whitebox actions based on processing privileges. Disables save-related actions based on project:save, and sharing based on project:share plus host validity.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6c34b

The PR adds capability-based access controls, but several processing actions can still remain available when the required privileges are denied, and blocked controls do not consistently explain why. This leaves the access-control behavior incomplete and requires fixes or explicit owner acceptance before merge.

Gate sidecar-backed actions with sidecarCap.

sidecarCap is initialized but never used. The conversion, raster, and segmentation entries remain selectable when processing:sidecar is denied. Disable those actions, and expose the capability reason.

This follows the PR objective to apply the application privilege model to processing actions.

Expose capability denial reasons consistently. Both menus use useAppCapability(...).granted but discard the returned reason. A denied user therefore sees disabled controls without an explanation.

  • apps/geolibre-desktop/src/components/layout/toolbar/ProcessingMenu.tsx#L149-L152: render and associate assistantCap.reason.
  • apps/geolibre-desktop/src/components/layout/toolbar/ProcessingMenu.tsx#L166-L169: render and associate processingCap.reason.

  • apps/geolibre-desktop/src/components/layout/toolbar/ProjectMenu.tsx#L303-L304: include capability denial in Share's description.

This follows the PR objective to disable controls with an explanatory reason.

Apply processing:run to every processing action.

This condition disables only the top-level Whitebox item. The Whitebox category submenus are siblings and remain enabled, so openWhiteboxTool can still run. The GeoLibre processing entries also remain enabled without this capability. Gate the submenu triggers and leaf actions with processingCap.

This follows the PR objective to gate processing menus by application capability.
