A permit is an aggregate (row + credentials + bound plates); create/update
treat it as one unit (child sets replaced on update). GET /api/permits (any
signed-in role, for lookup); POST/PUT/DELETE + POST /:id/revoke (admin only).
Validation: maxConcurrent positive-int-or-null (unbound); a permit must have at
least one credential OR one bound plate. Revoke is the soft common case (keeps
history, barred at the barrier); DELETE hard-removes — past ledger events that
reference it are untouched (append-only audit trail, independent of this row).
Web PermitManager in the admin shell: list + add/edit (holder, car-bound toggle,
validity, credentials, plates), revoke, delete. Makes permits usable without
hand-seeding (companion to the tariff composer).
Verified via inject: validation (empty / maxConcurrent=0 -> 400), create -> 201,
operator can LIST but not write (403), update replaces child rows, revoke ->
revoked, delete -> 204 then 404 with children cleaned.
A credential read now routes by what the credential IS: matches a permit
(card/QR credential or a bound plate) -> permit flow; else -> transient exit
flow. Lane resolved once (readerLaneWithAccess); ExitFlow.onRead -> handleAt so
the dispatcher owns lane resolution.
Permit direction is inferred from session state for that car (the read value is
the per-car session key): no open session -> ENTRY (enforce maxConcurrent, sign
vehicle_entry, open); open -> EXIT (sign vehicle_exit, open, close). Fleet
permit = one session per car; anti-passback falls out naturally.
maxConcurrent enforced as a fold over the signed ledger (null = unbound).
Validity window + status + plate-OR-card identity as designed. No ticket/fee;
every use is a signed event carrying permitId. Refusals (revoked / out-of-window
/ at-capacity) are signed anomalies, barrier stays closed.
Verified against stubs: card entry -> inferred exit; fleet cap 2 (F3 rejected
at 2/2, then admitted after F1 exits); plate-bound opens; revoked rejects;
unknown credential falls through to exit reject; verifyChain ok.
