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.
Signup registers/binds a Verae central user and stores veraeUserId. Public access stays the zappier API key. Chain JWTs stay server-side behind tokenRef. Authz, billing, and jobs.watch carry veraeUserId.
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.
Wait-via-NATS returns completed or pending+jobId (GATE 9). Mock SHA256
idempotent register + GET /hashes/{sha256}. Zappier commercial edge has
POST /v1/timestamp and hash-lookup. GATE 12 smoke (signup + wait) passes.
NS1 NATS is 127.0.0.1:4222 on 70.88.205.138; SSH tunnel :14222. Local
nats-server -js used for isolated tests. Activate app adds Echo Text.
Learned: JetStream on NS1 is loopback-only; do not bind 4222 public.
packages/verae-activate is pushable with zapier-platform 19.1.0: local
Add Numbers (number1+number2=sum) needs no hosted API. zapier-platform
validate is clean (0 warnings). zappier POST /v1/add is a free metered
endpoint for the optional hosted path.
Tests: verae-activate 7/7, zappier 176/176, verae-zapier 5/5, middleware
gate 1 11/11. Morning steps: docs/04-activate/SETUP-ZAPIER-DEVELOPER.md
Learned: perform runs on Zapier cloud so arithmetic needs no public URL;
CLI and zapier-platform-core majors must match; do not mix zapier-sdk.
