Permissions — Key Takeaways

Tests first, group by feature, one source per permission — same behavior, organized luggage.

  1. 01Tests are the map
    • From 19% path coverage to every path
    • Understand behavior before changing anything
    • Safety net for every future change
  2. 02Group by feature
    • One handler per feature for defaults
    • Defaults are findable, even by non-engineers
    • Same logic — different organization
  3. 03One source per permission
    • Duplicates collapsed into a single handler
    • Change once, applies everywhere
    • No more hunting through ~800 lines
  4. 04The payoff is real
    • Premium channels: knew where to add it
    • And later — knew exactly where to fix it
    • Worth doing regardless of where permissions live

Same content, organized luggage — a finite, named structure instead of a pile to dig through.
