Stabilized hierarchical permissions and implemented strict visibility gating.

Standardized access level hierarchy (super > manager > administrator > trusted) and added hierarchical comparison utilities to 'ae_util'.

Refactored IDAA layout to use an 'Upgrade-Only' permission strategy, preventing context-specific identifications from downgrading global Manager privileges.

Implemented strict gated filtering in the Journal Entry list: hidden and disabled items now correctly require both the appropriate hierarchical role (Trusted/Admin) AND active Edit Mode.
