Quick Access
Quick Access is an optional presentation module. Feature modules register
compact tool metadata through the Core manifest contract and contribute their
renderer through quickAccess.tools. Quick Access owns the rail, overlay,
effective preference calculation, and settings UI. It never copies or owns the
underlying business objects.
Resolution
The live catalogue is derived from installed module manifests. Personal catalogues contain only currently authorized tools; system and tenant administrators can inspect the complete registered catalogue and inherited constraints. Effective visibility is resolved in this order:
- module installation and tenant entitlement;
- system availability, blocking, forcing, and ordering;
- tenant availability, blocking, forcing, and ordering;
- the user's enabled state and ordering;
- the active View or Workflow projection;
- the current principal's permissions.
An upper scope may block or force a category or tool. Lower scopes cannot override that decision, but may configure any still-available item. Stale preferences are retained and diagnosed so uninstalling and reinstalling a contributing module does not silently discard a user's arrangement.
Categories
The initial stable categories are Work, Calendar, Messages, and Files. Messages may contain Mail, Postbox, and future chat contributions in one overlay. A category is a presentation grouping only; channel-specific authority, retention, acknowledgement, encryption, and delivery state remain with each owner module.
Safety
Quick Access is not an authorization boundary. Every contribution keeps its own permission requirements and View surface. Full-page routes remain the canonical fallback. Disabling this module removes the rail without making any domain state unavailable through its owning module.
