- Characters can carry aliases and be linked as the same underlying
person (canonical SameCharacterAsId, optional reveal chapter/note),
surfaced through the API, MCP tools, agent toolset, and web UI.
- Characters page redesigned as a filterable/sortable table (name+
aliases, role, importance, occupation, tags) instead of a sidebar
list, to stay usable as the cast grows.
- Beats can be moved between chapters (BeatService.MoveAsync + MCP/
agent tool + endpoint).
- Add a keyboard-shortcuts help overlay (HelpButton/HelpOverlayContext)
wired into the project layout.
- CLAUDE.md: require every frontend component to carry a unique id
attribute; apply it to CharacterMultiSelect and MarkdownEditor.
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.
