Workspaces: relativeRank, list memberCount, and the actor rename - #37
Conversation
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). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

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.
Client side of server-hosted#128.

The interface and both fetcher docstrings claimed single-read-only; that stopped being true when the list controller learned to readinclude. A workspace switcher no longer needs N+1 requests.actingUserId— the acting-user field now matches the rest of the codebase. Node-SDK only.relativeRankonauthority/me. It is an offset from the caller, and that read's subject is the caller, so it could only ever be0— a constant shipped as a required field.rankis what that endpoint reports.Worth knowing when you upgrade: the server now refuses undeclared fields rather than stripping them.
