A user whose role has only validation:create (the bar/lavazh validator) made
the shell misbehave: useLiveFeed() connected /api/ws unconditionally, the
server's report:read guard 403'd the upgrade, and the capped-backoff
reconnect hammered it forever — a 403 in the server log every few seconds.
Gate the socket on report:read (mirrors routes/ws.ts WATCH_PERMISSION) and
render StatusDot / ShiftButton / DeviceFooter only with their backing
permissions (report:read / shift:read / device:read), so a merchant's shell
is just the nav + their /validate screen, with zero doomed requests.
