Split out of #5196 so that PR keeps only ARCHITECTURE.md + CODEOWNERS.

Resolves contradictions found across docs/easycla-ss-migration/ and specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/. Five files, one line each.

Fixes

File Was Now
role-mapping-feasibility.md "staff-admin disallowed on CLA writes" per-endpoint — utils.ALLOW_ADMIN_SCOPE has ~79 call sites vs ~10 for DISALLOW_ADMIN_SCOPE; approval-list writes disallow it, most CLA writes do not
architecture-proposal.md (P5) "instant rollback" via the SSM redirect base the SSM lever is unexercised — M2 deliberately left it unchanged
00-overview-fable.md "console→SS cutover is a config flip with instant rollback" conditional; no milestone through M3 changes it
04-milestone-project-lens-pcc-fable.md status "DECISION-GATED" "Not planned" — contradicted the note directly below it
05-milestone-k8s-v2-api-fable.md status "Draft" "Not planned" — same contradiction

The first is the notable one: it is the same blanket claim corrected in ARCHITECTURE.md by #5196, which had been left live in the feasibility memo.

Verification

Checked against shipped code on origin/dev, not just for internal agreement:

  • all eight documented endpoints exist in cla-backend-go/swagger/cla.v2.yaml
  • the backend produces exactly the five documented statuses — no superseded/expired, matching the docs' explicit claim
  • the PDF route returns NewGetMyClaPdfNotFound — the documented "404, never 403"
  • PresignedURLValidity = 15 * time.Minute and activeSignatureTTLDays = 1 confirm the "15-minute" and "one-day" claims
  • every relative link across the doc set resolves

One claim could not be verified and was left untouched rather than changed to a number I could not source: the "~30 min TTL" in-process cache on GET /v4/cla-group/search. No matching constant found in v2/cla_groups/ or v2/my_clas/.

Resolve contradictions found across docs/easycla-ss-migration and
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable:

- role-mapping-feasibility.md: the summary table still carried the blanket
  "staff-admin disallowed on CLA writes" claim; it is a per-endpoint rule
  (utils.ALLOW_ADMIN_SCOPE ~79 call sites vs ~10 for DISALLOW_ADMIN_SCOPE)
- architecture-proposal.md P5 and 00-overview-fable.md: qualify "instant
  rollback" — the SSM PR-check redirect base is an unexercised lever, since
  M2 deliberately left it unchanged
- 04/05 milestone briefs: status lines read "Draft" and "DECISION-GATED",
  contradicting the "Not planned" note directly below each

Verified against shipped code on origin/dev: all eight documented endpoints
exist in cla.v2.yaml; the five documented statuses match those the backend
produces (no superseded/expired); the PDF route returns NotFound;
PresignedURLValidity = 15 min; activeSignatureTTLDays = 1. All relative
links across the set resolve.

Walkthrough

The PR updates EasyCLA migration documentation. It clarifies redirect cutover behavior, service deprecation assumptions, endpoint authorization scope, and the status of two migration milestones.

Changes

EasyCLA migration planning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cutover controls and service assumptions
docs/easycla-ss-migration/architecture-proposal.md, specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/00-overview-fable.md
The documents record the unchanged M2 redirect configuration, describe cached redirect behavior during rollback, and distinguish user-service and org-service deprecation assumptions.
Endpoint authorization scope
docs/easycla-ss-migration/role-mapping-feasibility.md
The feasibility documentation limits the staff-admin restriction to Approved List writes.
Milestone status updates
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/04-milestone-project-lens-pcc-fable.md, specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/05-milestone-k8s-v2-api-fable.md
The milestone statuses now identify the work as not planned or as an uncommitted design option.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 30219

The migration documentation now accurately describes redirect rollback behavior and service deprecation assumptions, with no remaining merge-blocking risk.

with the canonical “Approved List” terminology, preserving the existing
authorization details and wording otherwise.
- Line 220: Reconcile the staff-admin authorization scope between the
eligibility/limits row and the v4 write-path statement: identify the affected
CLA write endpoints and state the restriction per endpoint, rather than implying
a universal or Approved List–only rule. Update the relevant role-mapping
documentation consistently so implementers apply the correct eligibility check.

Comment thread docs/easycla-ss-migration/role-mapping-feasibility.md Outdated
Matches the correction made to ARCHITECTURE.md so the doc set stays
consistent. The claim that user-service and org-service "are being
deprecated" had no source outside P9 itself: org-service is live and in
use today (its repo deploys to prod, lfx-gateway routes it, lfx-self-serve
calls organization-service/v1/orgs/search), no lfx-v2-* architecture doc
states it is being retired, and unlike P2 and P10 the claim carries no
date, ticket, or reviewer confirmation.

- architecture-proposal.md P9 and 00-overview-fable.md: user-service
  deprecation stated as anticipated; org-service noted as having no
  announced deprecation.
- The load-bearing guidance is unchanged: SS must not hard-depend on v1
  IDs it cannot resolve later.

specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/00-overview-fable.md:37

  • Calling this rollback “instant” is not supported by the implementation. cla-contributor-v2-base-* is read only during main.init() (main.go:26-29, config/ssm.go:42-43) and the resulting value is injected into long-lived services (cmd/server.go:480,515-517), so existing warm Lambda environments do not observe an SSM edit. Describe it as a potential rollback lever that requires Lambda refresh/redeployment rather than an instant flip.

- role-mapping-feasibility.md: narrow the blanket staff-admin claim in
  section 6C. It still said v4's write paths disallow staff-admin broadly,
  contradicting the per-endpoint correction this PR makes on line 220 and

- architecture-proposal.md: record the P5 and P9 corrections in the header
  revision note, which still claimed P1-P10 were unchanged apart from the
  renumbering. Keeps the decision record an accurate audit trail.

Changes Made

  • role-mapping-feasibility.md — narrowed the blanket staff-admin claim in §6C. It still said v4's write paths disallow staff-admin broadly, contradicting the per-endpoint correction this PR makes on line 220 and in §3; it now names the Approved List writes as among the endpoints that disallow it (per copilot-pull-request-reviewer)
  • role-mapping-feasibility.md — "Approved List writes" on line 220, per the CLAUDE.md convention (per coderabbitai)
  • architecture-proposal.md — recorded the P5 and P9 corrections in the header revision note, which still claimed P1–P10 were unchanged apart from the renumbering. Keeps the decision record an accurate audit trail (per copilot-pull-request-reviewer)

docs/easycla-ss-migration/architecture-proposal.md:97

  • This P9 correction is not listed in the PR description’s Fixes or verification sections, despite changing the architecture decision record and being mirrored in the overview. It also makes the stated “five files, one line each” scope inaccurate. Please document this additional change and its source so reviewers can validate the org-service deprecation claim.
| P9 | **Audit v4 API payloads for v1 user-service/org-service IDs and plan the mapping lookups** (API shapes unchanged this phase). Users: resolve via the `lfx.lookup_v1_user_sfid.by_username` / `.by_email` NATS RPCs (lfx-v1-sync-helper); orgs: v1 org service via the api-gw secondary token | user-service deprecation is anticipated in the LFX v2 transition (users collapse to email/username references); org-service has **no announced deprecation** — the v2 model keeps true B2B orgs. Either way, SS UI must not hard-depend on v1 IDs it cannot resolve later |

Address review comment from copilot-pull-request-reviewer:

- 00-overview-fable.md: the PR-gating redirect base is not read dynamically.
  SSM is loaded at process initialization and CLAContributorv2Base is copied
  by value into the long-lived signing/GitLab services (config/config.go,
  cmd/server.go), so warm Lambda instances retain the old destination after
  an SSM edit and can produce mixed redirects until they recycle. "Instant
  rollback" was wrong; the flip is still a config change, but the rollback
  window is bounded by Lambda recycling.

Second Review Round Addressed

Commit: 302196a

Changes Made

  • 00-overview-fable.md — corrected the "instant rollback" claim for the PR-gating redirect base. Verified the mechanism: LoadConfig reads SSM once at process init and CLAContributorv2Base is passed by value into long-lived services at wiring time (cmd/server.gov2SelfServeSign.NewService, gitlab_sign.Configure, gitlab_activity.Configure), so warm Lambda instances retain the old destination and can produce mixed redirects until they recycle. The flip is still a config change; the rollback window is bounded by Lambda recycling (per copilot-pull-request-reviewer)
