/drawer was record + review only: no current balance, no sight of the open
shift's incomings, no daily activity, no shift history. Rebuilt as a hub:
- Drawer now: the till's running balance (new GET /api/drawer/balance,
shift:read — exposes the service's existing drawerBalance(); the drawer
is one site-wide till, same exposure the X-report already had) with the
open shift's X-report breakdown alongside (float + takings + vouchers =
expected = balance) and a "This shift: ±X" figure (expected − opening
float — the shift's own contribution vs what it inherited).
- Today's cash activity: every cash payment + voucher since local
midnight from the signed chain, live, with day totals (card never
enters the till).
- Record + movements/review: the 2026-07-01 flow, unchanged.
- Closed shifts: drawer-focused history via the scope-aware /api/shifts
(float → takings ± vouchers → expected per shift).
Also: every shift open/close button (header, /shifts, pay modal, end-
shift confirm) now shows an animated spinner + dims while busy — the old
label-swap-only feedback read as a dead click when a shift open ran slow.
The slowness itself (drawer/shift reads fold the WHOLE chain, O(chain))
is recorded as an open item in wiki/concepts/shift.md with the fix
sketch: fold from the last z-report's signed expectedDrawerMinor forward.
No new ledger surface — one read-only endpoint; RBAC test added.

Rework drawer cash movements from synchronous admin-authorization-at-creation
(operator typed an admin's password inline for every receipt/disbursement) to
operator-records-freely -> admin-reviews-after.
- New `drawer` resource: drawer:create (operator records; admin-revocable per
role) + drawer:review (admin authorizes/denies). Migration 0018 grants the
default operator role drawer:create; admin gets all in code.
- New signed `cash_review` ledger event { refId, decision, reviewedBy, note? }.
A DENIAL is a FLAG, not a reversal: it never appends reversing cash and never
touches the drawer balance (the correction is settled outside the app). This
is what keeps a late review from leaking into the next operator's inherited
drawer — a denial that lands after the reviewed shift closed moves no cash.
Regression test: op1 disburses -> closes -> op2 inherits -> admin denies ->
op2 drawer unchanged.
- Move the feature OFF the polluted /shifts route to a top-level /drawer
(operator: record + own; admin: review queue + all). routes/drawer.ts lifted
from routes/shift.ts (retired the authorizer-password gate; kept shift:cash
for its other job = admin-sees-all-shifts). New DrawerManager.tsx.
Display fixes bundled:
- Render cash_review in the event-detail modal (decision / reviewed-by / note /
movement ref) — previously showed nothing.
- Relabel the shift drawer figures for clarity: Daily takings / Receipts /
Disbursements (was Cash payments / Cash added / Cash removed).
- Hide the Card figure everywhere when CARD_PAYMENTS_ENABLED is false (no POS
on-site), matching the card-tender gate.
shared/db/server/web all typecheck; 225 server tests pass (incl. the drawer
review + cross-shift-leak regression); web build + i18n parity green. Verified
end-to-end via Playwright. Recorded in wiki/concepts/shift.md.
