Module admin 

The admin dashboard: its manifest, and baking a static copy of it.

The dashboard is embedded in the binary and served live for every app, so the common case generates nothing. build writes the same files out as a plain directory (index.html, app.js, app.css and a manifest) for hosting it somewhere other than the API — a CDN, a bucket, a different origin entirely. That copy is never read back by the server: the running dashboard always describes the running app. Everything it needs to know about the app — which resources exist, what to call them, which fields to show, who may see what — is resolved here, at build time, and written into apiplant-admin.json. The shipped JavaScript is the same for every app.

Two things are kept firmly apart, and it matters:

• [permissions] / a function’s permission decide what the API allows. They are enforced by the server on every request.
• [admin] decides what an operator is shown. It is presentation, and this generator treats it as such — hiding a resource here does not protect it, and the manifest never carries anything a signed-in caller could not already read from the API.
