Work report

The /game/kanban board gains a MAIL lane read from the ball_board tool through the signed-in player's identity, drawn only when the server returned the mail source, with columns by whose move it is.

What changed

• New apps/website/src/lib/ballBoard.ts reads the ball_board tool with one Authorization header and credentials omitted, passes links through safeLink (https only), and sends no request when signed out.
• Queen.tsx draws the MAIL lane only when the server sent the mail source; not_yours, unknown or missing status draws no lane, chip or hint. Cards carry client, source, title, reason and days waiting, in columns ours, due, theirs and none.
• New qa/ball-board-contract.mjs gates the wire, the refusals and the page structure; hive-board and clients-filter contracts learn the second private lane; check:ball-board is wired into website-checks.yml.
• triIdentity.ts and Queen.css receive small supporting edits.

Context and reasoning

The owner asked that every task from his mail be visible to him when signed in, and to other people only when he has granted them access.

The site reads the ball_board tool with the player's own identity and draws the MAIL lane only when the server returns the mail source, grouping cards by whose move it is.

A contract with fifty-nine checks gates the request, the refusals and the page structure, and the lane depends on a separate server change and a later board release.

Reported verification

• [passed] Command: npm run check:ball-board, check:hive-board, check:clients-filter. Result: Author reports 59, 63 and 56 checks passing respectively.. Evidence: Author-reported in the Checks section of this PR body; not rerun for this report.
• [passed] Command: typecheck ratchet in apps/website. Result: Author reports 179 errors across 26 files, equal to the baseline, with no file gaining errors.. Evidence: Author-reported in the Checks section of this PR body.
• [passed] Command: Website checks workflow, job checks, on head 0468de8. Result: The job completed successfully on the PR head commit, which wires in check:ball-board.. Evidence: https://github\.com/gHashTag/trinity/actions/runs/36856722398

Limits and open questions

• The server side lives in gHashTag/999-multibots-telegraf#3204 with spec feat(automation): ball-grants -- the mail cards, to others only by the owner's grant (Closes #5387) t27#5411; the lane shows nothing until that server returns the mail source.
• The board reaches users only after a release(board) PR in 999-multibots-telegraf pins QUEEN_REF to the merge.
