feat(graphql): open projects, tasks and agent sessions to their links - #9261
A public link should open the item it points to for anyone holding it, signed in or not, without writing a grant. Projects and agent sessions couldn't do that: their reads lived under GraphQL's account-only user root and went through Soup's listing policy, which deliberately ignores links. Visitors got "authentication required" and signed-in non-members got NOT_FOUND. #8814 worked around this with a separate signed-out endpoint for projects; this replaces that with one read path for everyone.
Projects also didn't behave as containers. A project showed only the tasks the viewer held their own grant on, so a project shared by link, or even with a team, showed a partial or empty task list. Product decision: a project contains its tasks, so anyone who can view a project can view every task in it.
Builds on #8812 (callers with no account are capped at View); its commits are included until it merges.
How it works
Single-item reads authorize through entity_access receipts, never through Soup's listing policy. Lists keep excluding link-only items: a link authorizes reading an item, not discovering it. The one exception is a list scoped to a project the caller can view.

or a live task whose discussion has the file)
──caller can view one──► View
What
crates/entity_access: when a document grants the caller nothing, get_containing_projects finds the projects that contain it, and the caller gets View if they can view one. This covers users, visitors, team-scoped bots, sessions on a task, and files attached to a task's discussion. Deleted tasks and files, and malformed Project values, contain nothing. The lookup runs only on a refusal, so reads that are already granted cost nothing extra.
crates/soup: get_viewable_items hydrates documents, chats, projects and agent sessions from receipts (viewable_by_ids, ByIdAccess::Receipted). It reuses the listing's row SQL; the viewer may have no account.
crates/soup project scope: when a request's property filter requires one project and entity access says the caller can view it, Soup sets the server-only EntityFilterAst::viewable_project. The expanded document listing then gates on that project's task set alone. Clients can't set the field (#[serde(skip)]). An earlier version unioned that set with the caller's grants. On a production-sized database (12M documents) that took 406 ms for a user with 520k grants, against about 4 ms before. The shipped gate takes 1.5 to 2.4 ms for every benchmark user.
crates/graphql_soup: the item loader key's viewer is optional. Projects and sessions hydrate through receipts. A document the listing misses gets one access check, so a task's panel loads for a viewer who reaches it through its project.
crates/graphql_initiative, crates/complete_graph: root initiative, initiativeTasks and agentSession take an optional viewer. GraphqlSoupInitiative.tasks hydrates the project read's own task receipts. The user.* fields stay, marked deprecated.
crates/initiative: a project read checks its tasks 16 at a time, in order.
crates/collab_surface: callers with no account get View tokens with no user_id claim.
Edge loaders (graphql_permission, graphql_properties, graphql_favorite, graphql_notification) take an optional viewer. The storage service inserts the viewer-optional ones for anonymous callers.
Merged main and reconciled main's agent-session parent-thread grants, email-thread resolver and email-focus loaders with this branch.
Accepted risk: anyone who can edit a task and edit a project can still put the task into that project, which now widens who can read the task. For documents, only the owner can move one into a folder.
Follow-ups
Full-text search inside a project: the search service's allowlist reads grants only, so a viewer who sees a project's tasks only through the project matches them by name, not body text. It needs the same project scope Soup has.
Live updates: realtime patches go to a task's own grantees only. Project-only viewers see changes when the project refetches (every 30 seconds and on focus).
soup.project_scope is traced. The other new reads are covered by the request spans.
Why
A Public link shared at Comment or Edit hands a caller with no account a
receipt at that level, so signed-out visitors can rename documents,
mint Edit permission tokens, and edit initiatives. The only cap lives
in the agent session extractor, and the generic entity permission
route bypasses it.
What
- Receipt invariant through today's `try_new`: an anonymous receipt
holds View for any grant, never meets Comment, Edit or Owner, cannot
regain its grant by re-tagging, turns channel roles into view-only,
and holds no team role. Signed-in and internal callers keep theirs.
- Extractor pairs on a public Edit fake: document, chat, thread,
history, folder path and body give View on View routes and 401 on
Edit routes; initiative Edit returns 401; a form respondent gets a
View receipt; the entity permission route reports `view` for a
document and an agent session.

Why
A Public link shared at Comment or Edit gave a caller with no account a
receipt at that level, so signed-out visitors could rename documents
and projects, mint Edit permission tokens, and edit initiatives. Each
extractor built its receipt with a struct literal and its own check, so
the only cap lived in the agent session extractor.
What
- `EntityAccessReceipt` moves to `domain/models/receipt.rs` with
private fields. `try_new` applies a ceiling before the permission
check: an `Unauthenticated` receipt holds at most View, channel roles
become view-only, and a team role is refused. Every other caller is
unchanged.
- `try_new_for_user` picks signed-in or no-account auth from an
optional user id; `trusted_internal` keeps internal channel, call
and entity permission receipts at their resolved level.
- Every extractor builds its receipt through these constructors. The
manual `satisfies` checks, the agent session cap and
`project_access_receipt` are deleted.
- Tests that minted anonymous receipts above View now use internal or
bot callers; the project body test signs in for its Edit route.
- `entity_access` AGENTS.md and the documents and AI chat agent guides
state that signed-out visitors on a Public link get View.

Soup's listings deliberately never enumerate an item reached only by a
public or team link, and its by-ID reads reuse that listing policy, so a
link-shared initiative or agent session never resolves for anyone the
listing does not reach, signed in or not.
`SoupService::get_viewable_items` takes entity access receipts instead:
the receipts are the authorization, so the repository hydrates their
ids with no access predicate and joins view history only when the
viewer has an account. Pull request facts on agent sessions stay scoped
to the viewer's own and team sources; a caller with no account gets
none. Initiatives and agent sessions hydrate this way first.
A public project's description is a collab surface, and its token route
required an account, so a visitor on a public link could not read it.
The route already authorizes through the parent entity, so it now admits
a caller with no account: their parent receipt holds at most View, the
token names no user (as a public document's does), and a form's surface
still needs Edit. Ensuring and deleting surfaces keep requiring an
account, so nothing a visitor calls reserves a surface id.
Single-item reads went through Soup's listing policy and the account-only
`user` root, so a public or team link never opened an initiative or an
agent session: a signed-in stranger got NOT_FOUND and a visitor with no
account got "authentication required".
The Soup item loader now authorizes initiatives and agent sessions with
entity access receipts, as it already did email threads, and hydrates
them through `get_viewable_items`. Its key's viewer is optional, and a
caller with no account reads only what hydrates through receipts.
`initiative`, `initiativeTasks` and `agentSession` move to the query
root and take an optional viewer; the `user` fields remain, deprecated,
for deployed clients. The edges those reads reach take an optional
viewer too: properties and `viewerPermission` authorize through
receipts, so a visitor holds at most View, and favorites and
notifications are empty without an account. The request context gives a
caller with no account exactly those loaders.
A visitor on a public project had no way to read its tasks: the Tasks
list is a Soup listing that needs an account, and `taskIds` names tasks
without hydrating them.
`GraphqlSoupInitiative.tasks` hydrates the task receipts the project
read already holds, in `taskIds` order, through
`SoupItemDataLoader::hydrate_receipted` and one Soup read with no
further access check. Soup's viewable hydration now covers documents and
chats: the document by-ID query takes `ByIdAccess`, so the receipted
read drops its access predicate while the listing keeps it, and a
viewer with no account gets no view history or task importance.
Documents stay on the listing in the Soup item loader: per-item access
checks there would multiply the cost of realtime document patches.
The receipted agent session read built its SQL with `sqlx::query_as`,
which the workspace clippy config bans, so `just check full` failed.
It now shares the listing's row SQL through `QueryBuilder`, seeded with
the viewer as `$1`, and binds the ids after it. The test also checks
that only the viewer's own view history joins the row.
A project is a container for its tasks, so opening a public project
should show every task in it. Tasks kept their own access instead: a
project's link, members and shares reached only the project, and the
project read listed just the tasks the viewer held a grant on.
When a document grants the caller nothing, the access check now looks
up the project its Project property names and grants View if the caller
can view that project. The task's own grants still decide anything above
View. Agent sessions on a task and team-scoped bots inherit the same
way. The lookup runs only on a refusal, so granted reads cost nothing
extra.
A project's Tasks tab is the task list filtered to that project. The
listing admits only documents the caller holds an `entity_access` row
for, so someone who reached the project through its link, or a member
without a grant on each task, saw an empty or partial list.
When a request's property filter requires one project, Soup asks entity
access whether the caller can view it. If so, it sets the server-only
`EntityFilterAst::viewable_project`, and the expanded document listing
admits that project's tasks as well. Clients can't set the field, and
the widening applies only alongside the filter that requires the
project. The storage service and both agent hosts wire the check in.
Review of the project inheritance found three gaps. A deleted task kept
its Project property, so project viewers could still read it through
tool and session paths. Files attached to a task's discussion stayed
closed to the task's new viewers. And a team-scoped bot checking a
session on a task asked about the task directly, skipping its project.
`get_containing_projects` replaces the task lookup: it returns the
project a live task names and the projects of live tasks whose
discussion has the document attached, and ignores Project values that
don't hold exactly one project reference. Users and team-scoped bots
share it through `get_document_or_task_access` and
`get_team_document_access`, which now also serves sessions whose parent
is a task.
Single-item reads such as `soupEntity` hydrate documents through Soup's
listing, which leaves out tasks a viewer reaches only through their
project. The task's information panel then lost its properties on
refetch.
Documents the listing misses now get one entity access check each and
hydrate through the receipted path. Listed documents pay nothing extra,
and realtime patches, which go to a document's own grantees, rarely
miss.
The project scope joined two `IN` subqueries with `OR`, which stops the
planner from reordering the access gate as a semi-join. Both sets now
sit under one `IN`. The arm also requires a single project reference,
matching entity access.
A project read checks every task's access. Someone who reaches the
tasks only through the project now costs a few queries per task, and
the checks ran one after another. They now run sixteen at a time, still
in task order.
A deleted file attached to a live task's discussion still inherited the
task's project View, because only the task was checked for deletion.
The requested document must now be live before either path counts.
Measured on a production-sized database, unioning the project's tasks
with the viewer's grants under one `IN` made the planner hash every
document the viewer can reach: 406 ms for a user with 520k grants and
122 ms for a large team's member, against about 4 ms before. An `OR` of
the two sets cost 675 ms for a user with 350 sources.
With a project Soup has confirmed the viewer can view, the request's
filter admits only that project's tasks, and the viewer can view all of
them. The gate is now that task set alone, 1.5 to 2.4 ms for every
benchmark user.
A project-scoped listing authorizes its project before it widens the
access gate. The check now runs in a `soup.project_scope` span with the
project id and whether the viewer may view it, so a short task list can
be traced to its cause.
Merging main took main's side wherever both branches edited the same
lines. This restores this branch's half of each:
- The agent session listing keeps main's parent-thread grants and now
pushes its source ids and row projection separately, so the receipted
by-id read reuses the projection with the viewer as `$1`.
- Main's email thread resolver loads through the viewer-optional key.
- The storage service keeps main's email focus loaders beside the
viewer-optional favorite and permission loaders.
- Both sides' new tests and guide notes are kept, with test users on a
reserved domain.
…onstructors
Main's external chat extractor built `EntityAccessReceipt` field by
field. This branch makes those fields private so every receipt passes
through the constructors that cap callers with no account at View. The
extractor now uses `trusted_internal` for internal callers and
`try_new_authenticated_user` for signed-in users, with the same results.

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Signed-out visitors can access public-linked initiatives and agent sessions, along with visible initiative tasks, without an account.
Public links that grant higher permissions still provide signed-out visitors with View access only. Visitors can also receive view-only collaboration-surface tokens where allowed.
GraphQL now offers root-level queries for initiatives, initiative tasks, and agent sessions.
Task listings can include tasks from a project the viewer is authorized to access.
Documentation
Updated guidance explains signed-out access limits for public links and collaboration surfaces.
Deprecations
User-scoped GraphQL fields for initiatives, initiative tasks, and agent sessions are deprecated in favor of root-level queries.
The pull request adds optional-viewer access across entity access, Soup, GraphQL, and collab-surface flows. Unauthenticated receipts are capped at View. Documents can inherit View through containing projects. Soup supports receipt-based hydration for initiatives and agent sessions. GraphQL adds root-level initiative and agent-session reads for anonymous viewers. Collab-surface token minting accepts unauthenticated callers and omits the user claim. Project scope wiring and related tests are updated.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 8cc7c
The change opens projects, tasks and agent sessions to link-based readers without accounts, and the supplied evidence shows access capped at View. The remaining gap is a missing trace span on the new receipt-hydration path. This can be added as a follow-up and does not block merge.

Minor · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win
Add a span to the new receipt-hydration path.
load_receipted_items is a new multi-step path. It runs per-entity access checks through view_receipts (up to 16 at a time), an optional team-receipt lookup, and one get_viewable_items Soup read. None of these steps has a span. The email-thread path next to it has soup.hydrate_email_threads. A slow or refused anonymous project or session open, or a project-scoped task-miss check, is therefore not visible in a trace.
Add a span named for the operation. Record the requested and authorized counts, and record whether the caller has an account. Do not record user IDs or emails.
As per coding guidelines: "Reviewers treat missing instrumentation on a new flow as a defect" and "Span the places a trace would otherwise go dark ... multi-step business operations".
