Summary

A new EditorLite project role (ProjectRole.EditorLite = 6, token letter l): edits FieldWorks Lite projects like an Editor, but gets no hg send/receive, FieldWorks sync, or legacy FLEx project listing. Editor is unchanged and still grants send/receive.

 CanSyncProject          (hg S/R, FieldWorks sync, open-with-FLEx)
   admin | Manager | Editor | org manager
 CanPushCrdtChanges      (/api/crdt/add)
-  Commenter | CanSyncProject
+  EditorLite | Commenter | CanSyncProject
+CanEditMediaFiles       (media upload / replace / delete; was CanSyncProject)
+  EditorLite | CanSyncProject
  • Lexbox: enum, JWT token letter, permissions above, legacy FLEx API excludes it, allowed without a verified email like Editor. GraphQL schema, OpenAPI spec and generated TS types regenerated.
  • Lexbox UI: offered in the add-member and change-role selects as "Editor Lite (can edit, FieldWorks Lite only, no send/receive)", and formatted in member lists.
  • FW Lite: UserProjectRole.EditorLite is writable and can comment, mapped both ways with the Lexbox role; the admin download-by-code dialog offers it.

Judgment call: media upload previously required the send/receive permission. Since FW Lite records audio as part of editing, Editor Lite gets media write access through a separate CanEditMediaFiles permission so Commenters stay excluded. Drop that commit hunk if you'd rather keep media behind send/receive.

Note: a FW Lite client older than this change reads EditorLite from listProjectsV2 as Unknown (read-only) until it updates; that tolerance was added with the Commenter role.

Evidence

  • Before: ProjectsJson_RoundTripsEachRole and ReadsKnownRoles had no EditorLite row; CanSyncProject was the only gate on CRDT pushes beyond Commenter.
    After: LexAuthUserTests (18 passed) and ListProjectsJsonTests (3 passed) cover the new role; task verify passes for frontend/ and frontend/viewer/; check-gql-schema, check-openapi-schema and has-stale-generated-types regenerate exactly the committed files.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

Additive enum value with no DB migration (roles are stored as ints). Reverting leaves any EditorLite members with an unknown role (read-only) until reassigned.

Blast Radius: permissions

Media write access widens from send/receive roles to also include Editor Lite. Everything else is additive.

Test plan

  • Assign Editor Lite to a member on a FieldWorks Lite project; they can edit and sync in FW Lite
  • The same user cannot send/receive via hg or trigger FieldWorks sync
  • Legacy FLEx project list does not include the project for that user
  • CI

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Editor Lite edits FieldWorks Lite projects like an Editor, but gets no
hg send/receive, FieldWorks sync or legacy FLEx project listing. The
Editor role is unchanged and still grants send/receive.

- Lexbox: ProjectRole.EditorLite (6), token letter 'l', included in
  CanPushCrdtChanges but not CanSyncProject. Media write access moves
  from CanSyncProject to a new CanEditMediaFiles that also includes
  Editor Lite (FW Lite records audio) but not Commenters. Excluded from
  the legacy FLEx list; allowed without a verified email like Editor.
- Lexbox UI: offered in the add-member and change-role selects.
- FW Lite: UserProjectRole.EditorLite is writable and can comment;
  the admin download-by-code dialog offers it.

Walkthrough

The change adds the Editor Lite project role across backend and frontend role definitions and serialization. Backend permission checks now distinguish editing media files and pushing CRDT changes from project sync. FieldWorks Lite role mappings treat Editor Lite as writable and comment-capable. The frontend can assign and display the role, with role labels added to locale catalogs.

Explanation

The title "Add an Editor Lite project role" matches the main change: the PR adds a new EditorLite ProjectRole (value 6, token letter l) across backend enums, permissions, UI selectors, and FW Lite mapping. It is specific and concise, and a teammate scanning history would understand the primary change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description summarizes the new EditorLite role, its permission changes (CanPushCrdtChanges, the new CanEditMediaFiles), the Lexbox and FW Lite updates, regenerated schema and types, test evidence, and a merge-risk section. It is directly related to the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 10.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 20 functions across 14 files. (16 skipped: 16 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Editor Lite users got an enabled FieldWorks Classic Sync button that
returned 403, since /api/fw-lite/sync/trigger requires CanSyncProject.
A new fieldWorksSync feature (Editor and Manager) now reduces the sync
dialog to the FieldWorks Lite sync for Editor Lite, Observer and
Commenter.

Also corrects the EditorLite doc comment: it can upload media.

Pushed a fix: roles that can't sync with FieldWorks (Editor Lite, Observer, Commenter) now see only the FieldWorks Lite sync, instead of a Sync button that 403s. Also corrected the EditorLite doc comment (it can upload media).

Maybe we should show them the FLEx sync, but disable the button telling them why?

Roles without the FieldWorks sync tab (Editor Lite, Commenter, Observer)
get an info popover on the FW Lite sync heading saying FieldWorks Classic
changes only arrive after someone with permission syncs them.

[Claude, autonomous]

@hahn-kev I asked my ux-expert skill to weigh the options. Here's what it came up with (pushed in 130891a):

FW Lite sync view with an info popover explaining FieldWorks Classic sync

The argument:

  • Hide what a role can never do, disable what's only blocked for now. That's the usual rule (Carbon, Smashing). Editor Lite is a permanent role limit, so it's the hide case.
  • The Classic tab is mostly a control. Apart from the Sync button it's commit counts and Send/Receive wording. Editor Lite users are mostly community contributors who never open FLEx, often on Android and in a translated UI. For them a disabled button plus that jargon gives nothing to act on.
  • Your underlying point stands. Their edits only reach FLEx users, and FLEx edits only reach them, after someone else syncs, so they should know that. The info popover on the FW Lite heading says it in one sentence without the dead button.

It applies to every role without FieldWorks sync (Editor Lite, Commenter, Observer); Editor and Manager still get the tab.

The cleanup timer could fire after jsdom was torn down, failing the CI
vitest step with "document is not defined" though every test passed.
