The seed roles were owned by exp_roles, but they describe the scenario, so
they now live in exp_scenario/seed.ts next to the permissions they grant.
Each seed role names the permission group its holders belong to, and the
five groups the legacy config defined (Admin, Trusted, Standard, Guest,
Restricted) are seeded through exp_groups along with one role mapping per
role. Mapping priorities follow how exp_roles ranks a player's highest
role, so Jail lands in Restricted regardless of other roles.
SeedRolesRequest becomes exp_scenario's SeedRequest behind a new
exp_scenario.seed permission, and the button moves to the scenario's web
plugin, which gets a web entrypoint for it. exp_roles no longer depends on
exp_scenario, and exp_scenario gains controller tests around the seed.
With groups seeded from the controller the legacy expcore.permission_groups
module and its config are removed, along with the Group rcon static.
Run with `pnpm --filter @expcluster/roles test`, using tap as the runner.
The lua module is exercised for real: each test file runs in its own lua
state, created on first use by the helper, with the factorio surface and the
clusterio modules stubbed. The environment is passed to the chunk as an
argument so no globals are involved. Covers lookups and comparisons, the
permission checks, assignment with confirmation, rejection and local only
roles, jail suppression, the sync entry points, and the holder listings,
including a player holding a role in both the synced and the local list.
The javascript side covers the message records round tripping through their
schemas, the indexed permission encoding, and the seed: every permission it
grants must be defined by exp_scenario, and every parent must exist and have
its permissions carried into its children.

Clusterio already stores roles, the permissions they grant, and which user holds
which role, along with a web UI for all three. What it does not have is the
properties a role only needs in game, or a way for an instance to learn about
any of it, since role and user updates are only sent to control connections.
This plugin fills both gaps. The controller keeps a record per role holding the
order, priority, short hand, tag, colour and auto assign threshold, created
automatically for any role which does not have one. It then rebroadcasts roles
and assignments on its own events so instances can follow them.
The lua module presents the same interface the legacy expcore.roles module did,
so the call sites can be moved over without being rewritten. Permission checks
translate the legacy action strings using the same mapping exp_scenario defines.
Two things replace features the legacy system had:
- Priority replaces disallow. Only the roles with the highest priority a player
holds are considered, so Jail can suppress every other role including the
default one, without needing to take roles away first.
- Assignments made in game are applied locally and then sent to the controller,
which keeps assign_player synchronous for callers. A role which should never
leave this map, such as one earned from time on the map, is assigned with
assign_player_local instead.
Roles earned from online time across the cluster are granted by the controller
from the threshold on the role, using the online time clusterio already tracks.
Nothing requires this plugin yet; moving the call sites off expcore.roles and
removing the legacy config is left for a follow up.
