verae-staff-iam (:3028) is the people directory — owner, billing-admin,
cs, sales, accounting, operator, viewer — with scrypt passwords, sessions,
and an audit log. Admin console login uses it when STAFF_IAM_URL is set
and hides tabs the account cannot use. CS/sales/accounting/staff/fleet
check permissions such as cs.credit and fleet.operate. Shared staff key
remains only as a fallback when IAM is unset.
verae-staff-ui holds one review template for CS and access-staff.
Staff cookies take STAFF_COOKIE_DOMAIN for a reverse-proxy host.
/docs stays vendor Swagger with an integrator banner only.
Account-balance stores display names and looks up by name. Edge writes
names on customer create/edit; staff UIs join from edge when needed.
New verae-staff-session issues a host cookie; department HTML redirects
when STAFF_AUTH=1. JOBS_EVENTS_EXCLUSIVE lets jobs-events own the durable
consumer. Catalog index is cards; disabled fleet machines are grey.
Match CS/sales/accounting/access-staff to the portal indigo system with
dollar amounts, skip links, and empty states. Fleet replica actions move
into overflow menus, roles become chips, Docs become cards, and the
header copy reflects the 0.0.0.0 bind. Simulator uses the same shell
(orange only for faults). Portal API keys are masked; admin customers
edit in a drawer. Catalog uses system-ui. New UI-Docs repo holds
screenshots, usage notes, and UI-REVIEW.pdf.
Zapier is one ingress. Direct web, customer API, and S2S leaf nodes are their own services. Every hop to an internal subject must pass verae.access.authz.check (default deny by plane).
Internal billing now uses verae.billing.* request-reply and pubs. zappier-account-balance tracks prepaid, credits, usage, and payments. Portal, admin, CS, and sales all review the same statement. Independent Forgejo repos stay split via push-module-repos.
Fleet now spawns the real zappier and middleware processes. Metered
timestamp/receipt/hash calls proxy to middleware when ZAPPIER_UPSTREAM
is set. CS credits, sales per-customer pricing, and QuickBooks export
are separate repos plugged into zappier-edge admin.
Add missing package READMEs, expand Sphinx to all runtime modules,
publish a LaTeX/PDF README book, and add verae-ops for Docker,
Proxmox, VMs, dedicated hardware, and service linking. Catalog
defaults to public PDF links for each module README and samples.
Unify loopback ops, hop testing, and reading order. Overview lists
high-level docs first, then architecture, then the rest. Credits:

High-level system map with diagrams, TOC, and a docs index. Template
worker shows how to add a new verae.* address for search, storage, or
unplanned functions without teaching Zapier NATS.
