Modernize the Tier-1 stack to the three-tier app and add browser coverage for
the §22.4a metadata UI, closing the E2E gap deferred across SLICE-3/4/5:
- seed-gitea.sh: create a REGISTRY_REPO with projects.yaml + a faceted named
collection (.collection.yaml fields: priority enum + tags) seeded with three
metadata-bearing entries; register content+registry webhooks; self-guarding
(skip if a prior token still works) so a dependency-triggered re-run can't
remint and invalidate the backend's token.
- .env.tier1: REGISTRY_REPO/DEFAULT_PROJECT_ID; disable OTC cooldown + lift the
per-IP auth limiter for the single-IP test runner.
- docker-compose: pin backend image; backend-seed inserts a granted owner the
OTC path can sign in as (write paths need contributor+).
- Makefile: two-phase tier1-up (seed to completion, then create backend so it
reads the populated token env); robust down; e2e-fresh = down+up+e2e (the
canonical run, since the edit/bulk specs mutate the seeded corpus).
- metadata.spec.js: SLICE-3 faceted filter (anon), SLICE-4 edit panel (owner),
SLICE-5 bulk bar (owner). 4 passed against a fresh stack.
