Client side of server-hosted#128.

  • relativeRank on invite and member-edit — 1 means "one rung below me", resolved server-side against your anchor. Absolute rank still works.
  • memberCount on the list, not only the single read. The interface and both fetcher docstrings claimed single-read-only; that stopped being true when the list controller learned to read include. A workspace switcher no longer needs N+1 requests.
  • actingUserId — the acting-user field now matches the rest of the codebase. Node-SDK only.
  • No relativeRank on authority/me. It is an offset from the caller, and that read's subject is the caller, so it could only ever be 0 — a constant shipped as a required field. rank is what that endpoint reports.

Worth knowing when you upgrade: the server now refuses undeclared fields rather than stripping them. createWorkspace passes your object through whole, so a {...template} spread carrying extra keys now 400s. Send only declared fields. Documented at the call site.

Every call shape in this package was audited against the new strict schemas — none 400s.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for relative rank offsets when creating workspace invitations or updating members.
    • Rank inputs are mutually exclusive, with clearer handling for defaults, inheritance, validation, and omitted values.
    • Workspace authority and member-standing responses now include relative-rank information where applicable.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified workspace member counts, roster visibility, authority behavior, ownership transfers, invitation updates, and rank resolution.
    • Documented query options and response behavior for workspace retrieval and member endpoints.

Mirrors server 70bad2b. `relativeRank: 1` means "one rung below me" —
callers no longer have to know their own rank to compute an absolute one,
and can no longer 403 by guessing wrong.

Writes accept either `rank` or `relativeRank`, never both. Invite's `rank`
drops from required to optional: omitting both defaults to one rung below
the actor.

Reads carry `relativeRank` alongside `rank`. Nullability deliberately
differs by endpoint, mirroring what the server actually emits: required
and nullable on the authority read (emitted unconditionally), optional and
nullable on standing, optional and non-null on the roster. The two
optional cases are optional because the field is FENCED — it is `rank`
minus a number the caller already knows, so it is stripped wherever `rank`
is, and absent rather than null.

Descendant rows carry `rank` but never `relativeRank`; those ranks belong
to another node's ladder. Documented on every type that can hold one.

`rank` and `relativeRank` are typed as two independent optionals rather
than a mutually-exclusive union. The union would catch "both supplied" at
compile time, but this same interface already models `email` / `userId` /
`username` as three plain optionals with a server-side refine — a union
here would make one exclusivity rule compile-time and the other runtime
inside one type. The server refuses clearly and both fields say so.

Part 3 of 3 (plan-workspace-rank-ergonomics.md).

All three were wrong identically in @sublay/core, @sublay/js and
@sublay/node. Comment-only — no runtime code changed.

The descendant fence rule said authority fields are omitted unless the
caller operates people "on the workspace". The server judges
descendant-member rows by the caller's authority on the DESCENDANT node,
so `include=descendants` can return full fields for one child and stripped
fields for another in the same response. Each file then contradicted
itself three lines down, where the relativeRank JSDoc had it right.

Stated carefully: this is NOT "the parent buys you nothing". The per-node
check runs against resolved standing, which folds in ownership and reach,
so authority still descends through an open inherit chain — only a sealed
node blocks it. Also records that the fence is per-node while PRESENCE is
not: relativeRank is never on a descendant row however much authority you
hold, because a field that appears and disappears by who is asking is
worse to consume than one uniformly absent.

`previousOwnerRank` "defaults to 0 server-side" is verbatim the sentence
the plan flags as having hidden a bug. The default is now one rung below
the acting user's anchor — still 0 for the usual apex actor, but
`actorRank + 1` when the acting ancestor-owner holds a row on this node.
node-sdk now leads with the consequence: which number you get depends on
who you named.

The invite upsert branch was undocumented. Re-inviting a live pending
target updates the invitation in place and PRESERVES omitted grant fields
rather than re-defaulting them, so a "Resend invitation" button posting
only an address cannot silently re-rank the invitee to one below whoever
clicked it.

Also documents the int4 rank ceiling, which the SDKs described with a
lower bound only — flagging the non-obvious half, that an in-range anchor
plus an in-range offset can still overflow.

`include=memberCount` works on the workspace list now, not only the
single read, so a workspace switcher no longer needs N+1 requests to show
member counts. Direct members only, one grouped count over the returned
page, and the field is absent — not null, not zero — when the flag is
omitted.

The interface and both fetcher docstrings said memberCount was available
only on a single read. That was true when written and is not any more.

Also documents that the workspaces bundle refuses undeclared fields
rather than stripping them, and warns at the `post()` call site that
`createWorkspace` passes the caller's object through whole: a
`{...template}` spread carrying extra keys now 400s.

The authority read's `relativeRank` could only ever be `0` — it is an
offset from the caller, and that read's subject IS the caller. It was typed
non-optional, so every consumer saw a required field with one possible
value.

`rank` is the coordinate that read reports. `relativeRank` stays on the
roster and member-standing interfaces, where the subject is somebody else
and the offset means something.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Workspace APIs now support documented relative-rank inputs and responses. Authority visibility, member counts, invite behavior, ownership-rank defaults, query parameters, and request-shaping tests were updated.

Changes

Workspace contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Rank input contracts and resolution
src/modules/workspaces/createWorkspaceInvite.ts, src/modules/workspaces/updateWorkspaceMember.ts, src/modules/workspaces/transferWorkspaceOwnership.ts, __tests__/workspaces.test.ts
Invite creation and member updates document optional relativeRank, validation, mutual exclusivity, and snapshot behavior. Ownership transfer documents rank defaults. Tests verify relative-rank forwarding and omission rules.
Response and authority semantics
src/interfaces/Workspace.ts, src/modules/workspaces/fetchWorkspaceAuthority.ts, src/modules/workspaces/fetchWorkspaceMemberStanding.ts, src/modules/workspaces/fetchWorkspaceMembers.ts
Response documentation adds relativeRank semantics, authority fencing, descendant handling, acting-user visibility, and direct-member count behavior.
Endpoint query and payload contracts
src/modules/workspaces/fetchManyWorkspaces.ts, src/modules/workspaces/fetchWorkspace.ts, src/modules/workspaces/createWorkspace.ts, __tests__/workspaces.test.ts
Endpoint documentation describes include flags and undeclared-field validation. Tests expect empty Axios params objects for ID-only requests. A comment documents whole-object payload forwarding.

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

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 4b607

The workspace authority documentation still advertises relativeRank even though that endpoint no longer returns it, which could mislead consumers but does not affect runtime behavior. This is a localized, non-blocking documentation fix; the PR is otherwise merge-ready after normal checks.

Comment thread src/modules/workspaces/fetchWorkspaceAuthority.ts Outdated
@Tsabary Tsabary self-assigned this Aug 26, 2026
The field was removed from `authority/me` and from the `WorkspaceAuthority`
interface, but this docstring still listed it in the response shape and
carried a paragraph explaining degenerate behaviour that no longer exists.

Caught by CodeRabbit. It is the fourth surface this one removal was copied
to — after the endpoint page, the hook page, and four prose spots across
three docs files. A correction has to chase every copy.
