feat(approvals): server-computed viewer capability for precise decision-action gating (#3310) - #3344

…viewer capability
`getRequest` / `listRequests` now attach a per-viewer block to each row from the
caller's context — `viewer: { can_act, is_submitter }` (ApprovalRequestRow):
- can_act — the caller is a current pending approver (their user id is in
the resolved pending_approvers while status is pending). This is
the exact check the decision methods authorize with, so it
already reflects position/team/manager resolution.
- is_submitter — the caller submitted the request.
The declared decision actions on sys_approval_request now gate their `visible`
CEL on it: approver actions (approve/reject/reassign/send-back/request-info) use
`record.viewer.can_act`; submitter levers (remind/recall/resubmit) use
`record.viewer.is_submitter`. Before this, approver actions only trimmed the
non-pending case, so a submitter viewing their own pending request saw buttons
they couldn't use (the backend 403'd), and a position-addressed approver could
be wrongly hidden by a client-side identity heuristic. Where `viewer` is absent
(a row surfaced outside a service read with a user context), the predicate fails
closed.
Tests: getRequest returns can_act true for a pending approver, false for the
submitter and strangers, and false once finalized; listRequests attaches viewer
to every row; the object contract test pins the new predicates.

…d + Console) Continues the v16 page from the latest front/back-end code. Since the rc.0 cut, 9 backend changesets landed and the objectui pin advanced 94d4876 -> af1b0db (objectui objectstack-ai#2706-objectstack-ai#2736). Sourced from each repo's own changesets. - Retitles the now-stale 'pending the next console pin' subsection: those 4 frontend items (objectui#2701/objectstack-ai#2706/objectstack-ai#2707/objectstack-ai#2708) are now bundled as the pin advanced; points to the new running section. - Adds a 'Landed since 16.0.0-rc.0' section: - Breaking/behavior: aiStudio/aiSeat alias removal (objectstack-ai#3308); date-arithmetic now a build-time error (objectstack-ai#3306); checkboxes per-option visibleWhen + string option matching (objectstack-ai#3350). - New backend: formula null-guard/floor/ceil (objectstack-ai#3306); engine-owned managedBy bucket (ADR-0103 addendum, objectstack-ai#3343); approvals viewer gating (objectstack-ai#3344) + decision attachments (objectstack-ai#3332); discovery transactionalBatch bit (objectstack-ai#3298); action resultDialog i18n (objectstack-ai#3347); collab-notification/storage localization + wired notifications REST routes (objectstack-ai#3354). - Console (now bundled): option-widget visibleWhen parity, approvals-inbox server-viewer gating + composer retirement, related-list pagination, inline-analytics renderer retirement, authenticated api-fetch threading, result-dialog i18n, engine-owned bucket UI, write-failure surfacing. - Adds aiStudio/aiSeat and date-arithmetic to the upgrade checklist; updates the Console-section intro for the advanced pin.

…ectstack-ai#8886) (objectstack-ai#8912) The v16 page and its index entry still described the train as published as `16.0.0-rc.0`. Tags say otherwise: `@objectstack/spec@16.0.0-rc.0` (2026-07-19), `-rc.1` (2026-07-20), `16.0.0` (2026-07-21), `16.1.0` (2026-07-22). The series went GA, took a minor, and closed when 17.0.0 shipped on 2026-08-14. Four stale surfaces on the page, not one: 1. The release-status blockquote — rewritten as shipped, following the shape objectstack-ai#8882 set for v17. The "section headings say 16.0.0 for brevity" sentence is dropped (it explained a pre-mode convention that no longer exists); the trailing 15.1.1 cross-reference is kept verbatim — it is still true. 2. "Console vs. pin" said the pin "has since advanced to `af1b0db` on `main`". That advance released: changeset 1965549 bundles `af1b0db96e44` in `@objectstack/console` 16.0.0-rc.1. 3. "Console changes after the `rc.0` pin" carried the same `on main` framing. 4. The `Landed since 16.0.0-rc.0` window was left **open** ("roll into the next 16.0 RC"). It is closed against what actually released it, in the shape the v17 windows use. Every entry in it maps to a changeset consumed at the `16.0.0-rc.1` cut — objectstack-ai#3308 (06ff734), objectstack-ai#3347 (6289ec3), objectstack-ai#3298 (bfa3c3f), objectstack-ai#3306 (7125007), objectstack-ai#3343 (62a2117), objectstack-ai#3350 (674457a), objectstack-ai#3332 (e412fb6), objectstack-ai#3344 (8efa395), objectstack-ai#3354 (ee0a499) and the console pin (1965549) — and the 16.0.0 GA changelog sections re-list rc.0 + rc.1, the signature of `changeset pre exit`, so the window shipped in 16.0.0. The 16.1.0 minor is named as the line's final release but deliberately not documented: its content is out of this PR's scope.

Closes #3310. Pairs with objectui#… (the console contract sync + inbox hint alignment).
Problem
After the inbox retired its hand-wired decision buttons for
DeclaredActionsBar(objectui#2697/#2710), the approver actions onsys_approval_requestgated only onrecord.status == "pending". So a submitter viewing their own pending request saw Approve / Reject / Reassign / Send-back / Request-info — buttons that just 403'd — and the old client-side identity heuristic could wrongly hide a position/team-addressed approver.What
getRequest/listRequestsnow attach a per-viewer block, computed from the caller's context:can_act— the caller is a current pending approver (their user id is in the resolvedpending_approverswhile status ispending). This is the same check the decision methods authorize with — and becauseexpandApproversresolves position/team/manager specs to concrete user ids at open time, a plain membership test is faithful (strictly better than a client identity guess).is_submitter— the caller submitted the request.The declared actions now gate on it:
