Renames the domain concept from Project to Novel throughout the backend
(entities, DTOs, services, endpoints, ProjectAccessService/Permission,
ProjectId foreign keys), MCP server (tool names and routes), and the
React/Vite frontend (types, hooks, routes, components). Adds a new EF
Core migration (RenameProjectToNovel) using RenameTable/RenameColumn to
preserve existing data instead of dropping/recreating tables. Updates
CLAUDE.md's structure section to reference Novels/ instead of Projects/.
Introduces accounts (ASP.NET Identity + cookie auth), four global
roles (Admin/Writer/Editor/Reviewer), per-novel ownership and grants
via ProjectMember, and a service-API-key principal for the MCP server
and background import jobs. Enforcement lives in the application
services (not endpoint filters) so the embedded agent and MCP tools,
which call the same services directly, can't bypass it. Web client
gets a login page, session-aware routing, and a People section for
managing per-novel access.
Also includes prior in-flight changes from this branch (CLAUDE.md
compliance pass, dev-deploy docker-compose setup) that were
uncommitted when this feature work started.
Services now return entities; endpoints (and the agent toolsets) map to
*Response records instead of services building wire DTOs themselves.
Also brings in the outline-import agent, MCP tool, ledger and web dialog
that were already in progress on disk.
