⚠️ CRITICAL PRIVACY REQUIREMENT

ALL IDAA content is PRIVATE. Authentication is required for ALL modules.

IDAA serves a sensitive population — physicians in addiction recovery. Content exposure to the public is a severe security failure and a violation of member trust.

• A previous AI agent accidentally exposed IDAA Bulletin Board content publicly. This must never happen again.
• Every route, component, and API call in this module must enforce authentication.
• When in doubt: it's private.

Required access level: trusted_access or higher for all IDAA content.

---

What IDAA Is

IDAA is a private membership organization for physicians in recovery. They use the Aether platform for:

• A private document archive (historical materials, meeting records)
• A members-only bulletin board (community posts and discussion)
• A searchable directory of in-person and virtual recovery meetings
• Video conferencing (Jitsi-based)

IDAA's Aether instance is embedded as an iframe inside their existing Novi-powered website (idaa.org). Novi is their external Association Management System (AMS) — it handles membership records and authentication. Aether receives the member context via URL parameters on iframe load.

---

Architecture: Composite Module

IDAA is not a standalone module — it is a composition of three existing Aether modules, access-gated and branded for the IDAA client.

IDAA Feature	Aether Module Used	Library
Archives	Archives module	src/lib/ae_archives/
Bulletin Board (BB)	Posts module	src/lib/ae_posts/
Recovery Meetings	Events module (repurposed)	src/lib/ae_events/
Video Conferences	Jitsi (external embed)	External

There is no src/lib/ae_idaa/ library directory. IDAA-specific state and logic lives in ae_idaa_stores.ts and the route components only.

This design allows the IDAA module to be removed or updated without touching core modules.

Authentication: Novi UUID System

IDAA members do not log in through Aether — they log in through Novi (idaa.org), and Novi passes their identity to the Aether iframe via URL parameters.

URL Parameters (on iframe load)

?uuid=<36-char-uuid>
&email=<url-encoded-email>
&full_name=<url-encoded-name>
&iframe=true

Permission Levels (Ascending)

Level	Condition	Access
Anonymous	No UUID or unrecognized	No access
Authenticated	Valid UUID (36 chars)	View own content, limited actions
Trusted	UUID in novi_trusted_li	Full member access to all IDAA content
Administrator	UUID in novi_admin_li	Full access + edit/manage

novi_trusted_li and novi_admin_li are managed in Aether site config (not in Novi directly).

Permission Upgrade Rule

// RULE: Only UPGRADE to Novi-based permissions, NEVER downgrade.
// If a user has a higher global Aether role (site manager, super),
// their global role is preserved and not overwritten by Novi auth.

This ensures that OSIT staff with super or manager roles retain full access regardless of Novi UUID status.

Access Gate ((idaa)/+layout.svelte)

The inner layout blocks ALL rendering if the user is not authorized:

• Anonymous → "Access Denied" error page
• Access check runs before any child routes render

---

Module 1: Archives

Route: /idaa/archives/ Library: src/lib/ae_archives/ Types: ae_Archive, ae_ArchiveContent

The Archives module stores IDAA historical content — meeting records, conference proceedings, historical documents, and media.

Object Types

Archive (Container)

• Represents a collection (e.g., "2019 Conference Proceedings")
• Key fields: name, description, original_datetime, original_location, archive_on
• archive_on — date when this archive collection is auto-hidden (scheduled visibility control)

ArchiveContent (Items)

• Individual items within an archive
• Supports multiple content types: 'text', 'file', 'url', 'video'
• Key fields: archive_content_type, content_html, url, hosted_file_id, duration
• Video/audio content has a dedicated media player component

Database (Dexie)

db_archives.archive    — Archive containers
db_archives.content    — Archive content items (linked by archive_id)

Demo / Test IDs

• Archive: nAA2bHLv8RK (id: 1) "One Sky Test Archive"
• Archive Content: UjKzrk-GKu5 (id: 1) "Hosted File Test"

---

Module 2: Bulletin Board (BB)

Route: /idaa/bb/ Library: src/lib/ae_posts/ Types: ae_Post, ae_PostComment

The BB is the IDAA members-only community discussion board. It is the most sensitive module — public exposure must never occur.

Object Types

Post (Thread)

• Key fields: title, content, anonymous, full_name, email
• archive_on — date after which the post is hidden from all views
• archive — boolean flag for immediate archival
• enable_comments — controls whether replies are allowed
• post_comment_count — cached count of replies

PostComment (Reply)

• Key fields: post_id, content, anonymous, full_name, email
• Replies inherit the parent post's visibility rules

Post Visibility / Archival Filter

Posts with archive_on set to a past date are automatically hidden from all queries. This is enforced at the component level via a LiveQuery filter:

// This filter is REQUIRED — do not remove it
filter((x) => !x.archive_on || archiveDate > now)

Archived posts are soft-deleted — they remain in the database for audit purposes but are not shown to members.

Most recent first (sorted updated_on DESC).

Database (Dexie)

db_posts.post      — Posts (threads)
db_posts.comment   — Post comments (linked by post_id)

---

Module 3: Recovery Meetings

Route: /idaa/recovery_meetings/ Library: src/lib/ae_events/ (standard Events module, repurposed) Types: ae_Event (standard event type, filtered for meeting context)

Recovery Meetings reuses the Aether Events object to represent AA recovery meetings. These are NOT conferences — they are regular ongoing meetings (weekly, monthly, etc.) available to IDAA members.

Search Filters

Members can filter meetings by:

• Fulltext search — name, location
• Physical — in-person meetings
• Virtual — online meetings (Zoom, Google Meet, etc.)
• Meeting type — specific meeting format categories

Search is debounced (250ms) and uses the standard Aether SWR pattern.

Jitsi Integration

Some virtual meetings are hosted via Jitsi. Members with a Jitsi moderator UUID (novi_jitsi_mod_li) have elevated permissions in video sessions.

Demo / Test IDs

No dedicated IDAA recovery meeting demo records — uses the standard Event demo record for dev:

• Event: pjrcghqwert (id: 1) "Demo One Sky IT Conference"

---

Module 4: Video Conferences (Jitsi)

Route: /idaa/video_conferences/

Embeds Jitsi video conferences directly in the IDAA module. Separate from Recovery Meetings — this is for IDAA board meetings or special sessions, not regular AA meetings.

Moderation permissions are controlled by novi_jitsi_mod_li in the IDAA store.

---

State Management (ae_idaa_stores.ts)

Four stores manage all IDAA state:

idaa_loc (localStorage — persistent across sessions)

Stores Novi auth context and per-submodule query settings:

{
  novi_uuid: string | null          // Member UUID from Novi
  novi_email: string | null
  novi_full_name: string | null
  novi_admin_li: string[]           // Admin UUID list (from site config)
  novi_trusted_li: string[]         // Trusted member UUID list
  novi_jitsi_mod_li: string[]       // Jitsi moderator UUIDs

  archives: { enabled, hidden, limit, offset, edit__archive_obj, edit__archive_content_obj }
  bb: { enabled, hidden, limit, offset, edit__post_obj, edit__post_comment_obj }
  recovery_meetings: { qry__fulltext_str, qry__physical, qry__virtual, qry__type, qry__limit, edit__event_obj }
}

idaa_sess (sessionStorage — cleared on tab close)

UI state per submodule:

{
  archives: { qry__status, show__modal_edit__archive_id, show__modal_view__archive_id, obj_changed }
  bb: { qry__status, show__modal_edit__post_id, show__modal_view__post_id, obj_changed }
  recovery_meetings: { qry__status, show__modal_edit, show__modal_view, attend_platform, obj_changed }
}

idaa_slct (sessionStorage — selection tracking)

{
  event_id: string | null
  archive_id: string | null
  archive_content_id: string | null
  post_id: string | null
  post_comment_id: string | null
}

idaa_trig / idaa_prom

Trigger flags and promise tracking for async operations (standard Aether pattern).

---

Iframe Integration

The IDAA module is embedded in idaa.org via iframe. This requires:

1. Height sync — The root layout posts message events to the parent frame for dynamic height adjustment (content length varies)
2. URL parameter auth — Novi passes member context via query string on load
3. No standard navigation — Members navigate within the iframe; Aether's nav chrome is hidden or minimal in this context

---

Testing Requirements

Auth Gate Tests Come First

For every IDAA submodule, the first test written must be an authentication enforcement test.

// ✅ Required test pattern for each IDAA module
test('Archives - unauthenticated user cannot access content', async ({ page }) => {
    // Inject localStorage WITHOUT trusted_access
    // Navigate to /idaa/archives/
    // Assert: access denied message shown, no archive content visible
});

test('Archives - trusted member can access content', async ({ page }) => {
    // Inject localStorage WITH trusted_access + novi_uuid
    // Navigate to /idaa/archives/
    // Assert: archive list renders
});

Privacy in Test Data

• Never use real member data in test fixtures
• Use canonical demo IDs from tests/_helpers/env.ts only
• Test names should document the privacy rule being enforced, not just the behavior

Trusted Access State Injection

Tests that need authenticated IDAA access must set trusted_access: true and novi_uuid in the injected ae_loc localStorage:

// In addInitScript or env helper
ae_loc.trusted_access = true;
ae_loc.idaa_loc = { novi_uuid: 'test-uuid-value', ... };

Current Test Coverage (as of 2026-02-26)

Module	State	Notes
Archives	⚠️ Smoke only	archive_content.test.ts — no auth gate test
Bulletin Board	❌ None	Priority — most sensitive module
Recovery Meetings	❌ None	—
Video Conferences	❌ None	Jitsi complexity, lower priority
