+# Row 198 r4 pre-read on 14fe7513c (held)
+
+Webby, 2026-10-23. Bushroot asked for the rebase round (bushroot-r4-rebase). Sage held it
+(sage-3598) until the four fake-board tests are ported and a fast-forward tip is pushed. This
+is a partial static read for that round, not a verdict.
+
+- Base: 45dca69f6 is an ancestor. Nine commits, no trailers. Per BUILD.md the range-diff is
+  `=` for seven commits, and the retire commit 4288b7b16 shows `!`.
+
+Bushroot's three questions, as of 14fe7513c:
+
+1. Auth order. serve.mjs runs these before the board write and read routes:
+   - The --sso public-Host gate.
+   - The origin check.
+   - The sign-in gate: an unsigned /api/ request gets 401.
+   - The granted-user gate. userRoute admits only /api/chat*, plus GET/HEAD of
+     /api/config, /favicon.ico and USER_FILES, so a granted user gets owner-only 403 on
+     /api/seen, /api/reply, /api/board and /api/conversation(s).
+   - The preview header check (401).
+   - The tester non-GET refusal.
+   This matters more than before because `board` is a closure in startServer and the
+   granted rebind doesn't touch it. Upstream's `upstream = null` also failed closed, at
+   503. Now userRoute is the only thing between a granted user and the owner's board. The
+   round should ask for a test pinning owner-only on all five board paths for a granted
+   session, or point to the one that does.
+2. /api/config `board: granted ? null : boardLabel` matches upstream, which sent null to a
+   granted user. /api/settings sends boardLabel, and a granted user can't reach that route.
+3. Removing the proxy fits "keep every upstream feature". The proxy was the path to the
+   7331 writer that this row retires, and the response shapes stay. One behaviour change
+   to state in BUILD.md: a dead board used to give 502 with a message naming the board.
+   Now the default is null, which gives 503 not-configured, and a scan failure gives 500.

   a BigInt path throws TypeError rather than library-write-story-path. Agent input
   comes from JSON, which has no BigInt, so it doesn't block.

+- E3 fixed. supporting.mjs:19 checks the type before :20 stringifies, and the test
+  loops over 7, null, undefined, 1n and an array. The diff touches only that line,
+  the one test line and BUILD.md.
+- E1 is recorded in BUILD.md. E2 is with Sage (honker-0177).
