Two batches, verified against nextgraph-rs throughout.
P1a — the capability surface. Reading was an ACL (Map<doc, Set<principal>>),
the exact inversion of key possession. It is now possession: `capFor(nuri)` is
the only question, there is no principal parameter anywhere, and nothing turns
a bare reference into a cap. Sharing is `shareCap(cap, toInbox)`, a Link
deposit; receiving needs no operation. `Nuri` and `ReadCap` are template
literal types, so passing a bare reference where a cap belongs is a compile
error, with runtime guards behind it for JavaScript callers.
The virtual user boundary. Every access function is now confined to the
connected user, through two rules on one criterion (possession), implemented in
two places so a lapse in either is caught by the other: authorization at the
passage points, and "do not even attempt" at the callers. The polyfill's own
machinery moved to physical.ts — unguarded, never exported — which replaced an
exemption list: the machinery no longer gets waved through the guard, it calls
something the guard never saw.
Removed, as emulating capabilities the target does not have:
- discovery.ts and its global index. There is no discovery in NextGraph; you
follow links. It also pooled user data across wallets.
- the cross-account fan-out (listEntityDocs, resolveReadGraphs, allAccounts,
loadShim), which was cross-user enumeration by construction.
- resolveInboxAnchor, a single inbox common to every user.
Caps are now stored where NextGraph stores them, and read back rather than
recomputed: AddRepo on the store's Store branch for documents a user creates,
AddLink on its User branch for caps received. Inboxes belong to someone — the
user's own, plus one per document — and connecting a user drains them all;
that is the library's job, not the app's.
Corrections worth recording: a ReadCap is `r:`, not `:k:` (reported by
NextGraph's developer, verified in BlockRef::readcap_nuri); received caps DO
have a register (AddLink), contrary to what this repo's notes claimed; and
"wallet" upstream means keyring — what owns three stores is a user, so the
vocabulary follows.
The cap value is the constant OK: the only question the emulation answers is
whether a cap is held. P1b replaces that one constant with a real key.
After this the shape is right and the isolation is still fake. Nothing here may
be described as anonymous or private.
Align the polyfill's surface and docs with the verified NextGraph reality and
remove application-level concepts:
- Identity is an ID, not a username: AccountRecord.id, shim predicate shim:id,
normalizeId; accounts core becomes IdentityStore (set/clear/get) — the faux
login/logout framing is gone (identity is set at wallet-import time).
- Relationship/connection is an application concept, not a platform primitive
(NextGraph has no bilateral-connection primitive: grantee is unpersisted
scaffolding, cap-send is unimplemented). Remove connections.ts; caps exposes
only a directed grantRead(doc, granteeId) + a read-only protectedDocsOf(owner).
Delete the now-dead isolation.ts social-visibility axis.
- Inbox docs: NextGraph has no separate curator — the recipient's own verifier
unseals and applies each queued sealed message inline (process_inbox);
inbox_post_link is a proposed/future API. Stop attributing the emulated
curator to the platform.
- Read isolation reframed around the outcome: no cap -> empty union read;
targeted read of an unheld repo -> RepoNotFound; cap introspection
(canRead/governsRead) is emulation-only with no NextGraph API behind it.
- read-model.md corrected: the listing path is per-doc ANCHORED default-graph
queries, never the anchorless GRAPH ?g union (that is O(wallet)); the probe
section no longer claims the opposite.
- README recap table restructured (target | current NextGraph status | current
emulation); INDEX_ACCOUNT documented as reservedAccount("index") in the
sentinel namespace; de-domained generic-layer comments; softened tone.
Consumer application (Festipod) rewired separately to own the relationship
concept and feed the lib an id. Lib gates: bun test 83 pass / 0 fail, tsc clean.

Polyfill capabilities landed for Festipod's T02 features (all generic,
zero-domain — the consumer injects the domain).
- inbox: implement the previously-stubbed namespace. post(target,{from?,
payload,ts?}) deposits {from,payload,ts} as RDF via docs.sparqlUpdate (the
real injected ng, never makeNg); read/materialize + watch emulate the curator
in-lib (deposits read via docs.sparqlQuery). `from` optional = anonymity.
- write-guard: caps.hasWritePolicy() + ng-proxy.sparql_update rejects when the
target doc is under a write policy and the current user lacks its write cap;
passthrough otherwise (no regression). Read-cap registry unchanged.
- sparql.ts (new): escapeLiteral / escapeIri / assertNuri, exported from index.
store-registry now escapes every literal and validates/encodes every IRI-
position value — closes a SPARQL-injection hole where an untrusted username
could inject triples into the shim (the account→doc-NURI trust root).
Tests: inbox, sparql (incl. injection), ng-proxy write-guard, isolation-active.
68 tests pass; tsc --noEmit rc=0.

Model the read filter on NextGraph's real ReadCap mechanism instead of an
invented per-item grant. Verified in nextgraph-rs: there is no Document type
(document = repo); a store is a container repo referencing other repos by RDF
overlay; holding a store's cap does NOT grant the repos it contains (each repo
needs its own cap; no read-cap inheritance). So the access unit is the
DOCUMENT = an item's `@graph`, never the item.
- caps.ts: CapRegistry (read/write caps per document NURI + public docs;
open/grantRead/grantWrite/makePublic/canRead/canWrite/governsRead/
hasReadPolicy). Replaces access.ts (Grant).
- read-filter.ts: filter keeps an item iff its `@graph` document is readable
(held cap or public); items with no `@graph` or in an ungoverned document are
kept. No injected grantOf — the filter reads `@graph` and consults the
registry (automatic, domain-agnostic).
- polyfill.ts: getCaps()/resetCaps() replace setGrantOf/getGrantOf; useShape
filters only when caps.hasReadPolicy() (else passthrough, no regression).
- tests: caps.test.ts (6) + read-filter.test.ts (4), incl. no-inheritance
between documents. 10 pass; tsc rc=0.
