The test deployment keeps one base URL per environment, as the sibling
ActivityPods apps do, so a pull-request preview lives on a single host: the
app at the root, the backend under /api on the same host, its /.well-known
routes at the origin root, the proxy passing paths through unchanged.
SemApps already works that way — it mounts every route it adds under the base
URL's path and keeps /.well-known at the root — but Festipod's own pieces were
written for a backend at the root of its own origin: its routes (/app,
/as/actor/app, /catalog) were mounted at fixed paths, the public-surface
allow-list matched fixed paths (so under /api every request would have been
refused), and the Solid-OIDC client_id joined the raw request path to the base
URL, which would have repeated the base path (/api/api/...).
base-path.js derives the base path from SEMAPPS_HOME_URL; the routes are
mounted under it; the allow-list matches paths relative to it, the two
/.well-known endpoints against the full path; the client_id is the requested
URI rebuilt from the base URL as written, equal byte for byte to the actor
URI and to what the front end derives. At the root every gate decision is
identical to before (compared over ~8M method/path cases). The rights matrix
probes /.well-known at the backend's origin root.
Verified: bun test (424 pass); the full gate at the root; and the built images
behind a local proxy routing /api and /.well-known unstripped with the Host
header kept — login flow, rights matrix 98/98, revocation.
e2e-login-flow and e2e-revocation now share the matrix's driveLogin, which counts a sign-in only once the app is really reached and the app install is asserted; their own loops could report "shell reached" while still on the picker page. The rights matrix gains a public-surface group (allow-listed endpoints answer 200, non-public paths 404, status codes only) and a visibility group (an event with a meeting point and a participant switched public and private by its owner: event, meeting point, attendees collection and catalog listing follow). validate.ts probes the stack and runs test:e2e-rights and test:e2e-revocation as layers, reported SKIPPED when the stack is down and never counted as passed.
Three fresh users plus an anonymous reader, on the live local stack: login, consent and app install are driven through the UI and asserted at setup; reads, refused writes, profile privacy, discovery, opening a foreign event, join and leave with their counts, isolation of each user's own pod, and catalog listing are each a named line with expected and actual, printed as a report. The exit code is non-zero iff a hard line fails. Known platform behaviours (attendee lists world-readable, an anonymous PATCH accepted on attendees collections) are tracked as non-fatal lines that flag a change; paths that need a crafted request are recorded as manual checks.
