console: switching organization can land a member on a chrome-less "no apps" page — resolveLandingPath ignores per-user app access #4473

Moved from objectstack-ai/objectstack#8091 at triage (file-at-destination: the fix is in this repo's console landing logic). Filed 2026-08-12 by @baozhoutao from a multi-org console walkthrough, original grading priority:p2. Batch siblings: objectstack-ai/objectstack#8090 #8092 #8093 #8094.

Triage note: the clean "distinguish no-access from not-published" half of this depends on the backend envelope objectstack-ai/objectstack#8013 (in flight, the backend half of #4252). The fallback route (app surface bounces to /home instead of rendering chrome-less) is implementable today — claiming seat's call.

Switching the active organization (and accepting an invitation, which switches as its last step) can land the user on a page with no header, no navigation and no workspace switcher — there is no way back except editing the URL by hand.

Repro

1. User A (owner of workspace 甲) invites user B as member.
2. B accepts the invitation, then creates a workspace of their own (B's workspace, where B is owner).
3. As B, from /_console/home of B's workspace, open the workspace switcher → select 甲.

Actual

B lands on /_console/apps/setup and sees a bare page:

尚未配置应用 — 当前没有任何已注册的应用。请创建您的第一个应用，或前往系统设置进行配置。

document.querySelectorAll('header').length === 0 — no top bar, no workspace switcher, no way to switch back. The same page is reached right after accepting an invitation (AcceptInvitationPage calls navigate('/home'), but the org switch triggers a full-page load to the console root, which re-resolves the landing).

/_console/home in the very same state renders correctly: top bar, workspace switcher, and a friendly empty state ("还没有应用 — 工作区正在准备中——管理员共享给你的应用会显示在这里。"). So the landing target is the problem, not the workspace.

Expected

Switching into an organization never strands the user. If the resolved landing app is not accessible to the current user in the target org, fall back to /home.

Cause

WorkspaceSwitcher does a full-page navigation to the console root so RootLandingRedirect can resolve the landing (packages/app-shell/src/layout/WorkspaceSwitcher.tsx:97). resolveLandingPath then picks the app purely from app metadata, with no notion of whether the current user may enter it:

// apps/console/src/components/RootLandingRedirect.tsx
const visible = list.filter((a) => a.active !== false && a.hidden !== true);
if (visible.length === 1) return `/apps/${visible[0].name}`;   // ← rule 2

In a fresh workspace com.objectstack.setup is the only visible app, so rule 2 sends every user to /apps/setup. A member has no access to it (sys_permission_set reads 403 for positions [org_member, everyone]), and the app surface renders the chrome-less empty state above.

Note the resolver is documented as a product decision ("a build/dev-time PRODUCT decision, declared in metadata — not a runtime, per-tenant preference"). That is fine for choosing which app a product lands in; the gap is that the result is not checked against the current user's access before redirecting.

Suggested fix

Either filter the candidate list by the user's app access before applying rules 1–2, or make the app surface itself bounce to /home (with the shell chrome) when the app is not accessible, instead of rendering a chrome-less empty state. The second also covers a hand-typed /_console/apps/<name> URL.
