Aglet

Investigate notification action scope with role matrices

An investigation should show whether notification actions match both role and current resource state. Replay owner, reviewer, and observer contexts, vary one state boundary, and inspect visible action, server response, and fallback. Keep notification delivery separate from authority behavior. Record whether a hidden action is expected or a defect.

Build a useful investigation brief

  1. Build the role matrix

    List role, ownership, resource state, event, action label, visibility, destination, response, and fallback for representative contexts. Include an allowed action and one read-only path. Record the state at click time, not only creation time.

  2. Trace one boundary

    Hold role fixed while changing target state, then hold state fixed while changing role. Compare action visibility, label, response, and destination. Record whether the product explains a boundary or simply lets a person discover it by failure.

  3. Write the scope brief

    State first mismatch, affected roles, state boundary, and competing explanations. Recommend one visibility or fallback experiment with a pass condition. Do not broaden action availability because an owner path succeeded. Compare the visible control with the server result at the boundary.

What to carry forward

The investigation is complete when action scope is reproducible across selected roles and states, or the first unknown is explicit. Stop with one bounded visibility or copy experiment. Keep allowed outcome, delivery, and destination as separate evidence.

Use a Work Item in Aglet to record the problem, the evidence you have, and the next decision. Add an owner and priority, then keep updates in the discussion so the next person can follow the reasoning.
