#129 landed the role chooser — /preview, the persona action, the badge — and it
is inert, because nothing sets the variable that decides who may open it.
Measured before writing this: MASTER_ACCESS_EMAILS appears nowhere in
infrastructure/, so on the running service it is undefined.

That #129 could land anyway is a property of how the door fails, and it is worth
recording rather than rediscovering. resolvePreviewIdentity returns null unless
the variable is set AND the address is on it, and the session callback then does
if (!preview) return session — an unset value is NOT a refusal, it is simply no
preview. So the merge could not have locked anybody out. It also means /preview
404s and the chooser does nothing until this exists.

The value goes through parseMasterAccessEmails: comma-separated, trimmed, put
through the SAME normalizeEmail the restricted registry uses, and entries with
no "@" dropped. previewAccessEnabled is size > 0, so an empty value means NO
PREVIEW rather than "allow everyone" — the empty-allowlist defect, refused by
construction rather than by a check somebody has to remember.

A plain env var, not a secret: it is an allowlist of addresses, not a credential.
Cognito still authenticates, and the persona substitutes the session SUBJECT for
a real seeded user, so rbac, capabilities and resolveTenantScope read that user's
real rows — nothing short-circuits requireCapability. Set it to "" to close the
door: /preview 404s, the eligibility exception never runs, and the session
callback attaches nothing.

terraform fmt is clean on both files touched. scheduler.tf's over-aligned block
is pre-existing on main and deliberately left alone.

#129 landed the role chooser — /preview, the persona action, the badge — and it
is inert, because nothing sets the variable that decides who may open it.
Measured before writing this: MASTER_ACCESS_EMAILS appears nowhere in
infrastructure/, so on the running service it is undefined.

That #129 could land anyway is a property of how the door fails, and it is worth
recording rather than rediscovering. `resolvePreviewIdentity` returns null unless
the variable is set AND the address is on it, and the session callback then does
`if (!preview) return session` — an unset value is NOT a refusal, it is simply no
preview. So the merge could not have locked anybody out. It also means /preview
404s and the chooser does nothing until this exists.

The value goes through `parseMasterAccessEmails`: comma-separated, trimmed, put
through the SAME `normalizeEmail` the restricted registry uses, and entries with
no "@" dropped. `previewAccessEnabled` is `size > 0`, so an empty value means NO
PREVIEW rather than "allow everyone" — the empty-allowlist defect, refused by
construction rather than by a check somebody has to remember.

A plain env var, not a secret: it is an allowlist of addresses, not a credential.
Cognito still authenticates, and the persona substitutes the session SUBJECT for

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Terraform adds a master_access_emails variable and passes its value to the ECS application container as MASTER_ACCESS_EMAILS for rollout-preview access control.

Changes

Rollout preview access

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define and wire the preview allowlist
infrastructure/terraform/variables.tf, infrastructure/terraform/ecs.tf
Terraform defines the comma-separated master_access_emails allowlist and passes it to the container as MASTER_ACCESS_EMAILS. Empty or invalid entries do not enable preview access.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c5831

The rollout preview is enabled for a hardcoded address by default when environments omit the variable, which can unintentionally expose the preview in those environments. Change the default to an empty value or obtain explicit owner acceptance before merging.

Make preview access opt-in by default.

Line 398 grants preview access to satvik@tenurework.com whenever a Terraform caller omits master_access_emails. Set the default to "", then configure approved addresses explicitly per environment.

Proposed fix
-  default     = "satvik@tenurework.com"
+  default     = ""
