The destination of the wayfinder map: directory and module structure, the domain model as real schema files, permission boundaries expressed as code, and typed seams where the undecided parts land. Satisfies the four structural requirements earlier resolutions handed to a layout that did not exist: - a single database entry point (#11) — the pool is not exported - a scheduler entry point with actor context and no request (#13) - an entitlement assertion helper (#20, #34) — its call sites are the paid-feature list - an enumerated list of privileged RLS bypasses (#33) — three of them Seams carry real types and throw with the ticket that owns them, so the skeleton wires up and fails only where a decision is genuinely missing. Verified: tsc --noEmit clean; drizzle-kit generate produces RLS on 18 tables and 6 policies calling the release-level functions.

Migrations
Generated SQL is never hand-edited. Hand-editing poisons Drizzle's diff baseline, and the baseline is what tells you the database still matches the schema that the types are inferred from.
The split follows what Drizzle can actually diff:
| Owned by Drizzle | Owned by hand |
|---|---|
| Tables, columns, indexes | SQL functions |
RLS policies, via pgPolicy beside the table |
Data seeds |
| Enums | The release matrix and its versions |
yarn generate # schema diff -> migrations/
yarn generate:custom # empty file -> migrations/, for functions and data
yarn migrate
Why policies sit beside their tables
A new table shipping with no policy is the failure mode that matters, and RLS default-deny only helps if it was enabled on that table. Declaring the policy in the same file as the table makes the omission visible at review time.
Why the matrix is a data migration
The release matrix is versioned, never updated — a past release has to be
reconstructable when an award is protested. A rule change is an INSERT at a new
version. That is exactly what --custom is for.
Ordering: why the functions are migration 0000, and why they are plpgsql
Drizzle emits an RLS policy in the same migration as the table it guards, so
the functions those policies call must already exist. But the functions read
solicitation, participation and release_matrix — which that same later
migration creates. A straightforward cycle.
LANGUAGE sql validates a function body at CREATE time and would fail. plpgsql
defers validation to first call, which breaks the cycle. For the same reason the
signatures use text rather than the release_level enum: the enum does not
exist yet either.
The cost is real and worth knowing: a typo inside a function body is not caught at migration time. It surfaces the first time a policy runs — which, because policy failures present as empty results, is the failure mode #11 already flagged as hard to diagnose. Database-level tests over these functions are not optional.
