The /admin/secrets link was already in the side rail, but ungated — every
authenticated user saw it, and a Designer/Operator clicking it was bounced by
the page's own [Authorize(Policy = SecretsAuthorization.ManagePolicy)]. Hide
the advertised dead end.
Gated on that same policy constant rather than Roles="Administrator". The two
are equivalent today (the RCL's AdminRole is "Administrator", read off the same
ClaimTypes.Role claim FleetAdmin uses), so this is not about reach — it is that
the rail cannot drift if the RCL ever changes its policy.
Live-gated on docker-dev, both directions, because the positive half alone
proves nothing here: the link rendered for an admin BEFORE this change too, so
"admin still sees it" is satisfied equally by a working gate and by an inert
one. Negative control — gate swapped to Roles="NoSuchRoleFalsifyProbe", rebuilt,
item went to 0 while /role-grants and /apikeys stayed at 1 (the item is hidden,
not the rail broken). Restored build hashed to the same image ID as the
pre-falsification one, proving the restore was byte-exact. This also rules out
AuthorizeView being inert inside ThemeShell's <Nav> slot under this host's
static router, which would have silently hidden the link from everyone.
SecretsNavLinkTests covers it in the AdminUI's actual idiom — source scan +
metadata cross-check, NOT bUnit (the bunit PackageVersion pin has zero
PackageReferences repo-wide). The load-bearing assertion is index ordering
(AuthorizeView open < NavRailItem < close): a scan that merely finds both tags
in the file passes when they are not nested, which is the ungated state.
Scope: Secrets only. /role-grants and /apikeys are FleetAdmin (Administrator-
only) too and stay visible to everyone, so the rail is now inconsistent —
deliberate, as hiding those is a UX call for the whole rail rather than
something to smuggle into this change. Noted in the markup.
Family-wide task from the scadaproj index session (ScadaBridge ee193cd2,
