Adds the global-Owner create-project action and the role-aware deployment
directory, completing slice S5 of the three-tier refactor (release v0.44.0,
minor/non-breaking — no migration). Per
docs/design/2026-06-05-three-tier-projects-collections.md Part E (S5),
Part C.3 (C3.1–C3.2).
Backend:
- auth.can_create_project — global-Owner gate (deployment owner/admin or an
explicit scope_type='global' Owner grant).
- bot.create_project — provision the Gitea content repo (seed README so main
exists), read+append+commit projects.yaml in the registry repo, audit-log
(create_project). The bot stays the only git writer (§1).
- POST /api/projects (api_deployment) — global-Owner gated; validates the id
(slug, not 'default'), name, type, visibility, content_repo; commits via the
bot, then re-mirrors the registry so projects + default collection rows flow
from git (§22.2). GET /api/deployment gains viewer.can_create_project and
default_project_readable. make_router now takes gitea + bot.
Frontend:
- api.createProject; DeploymentProvider surfaces viewer + defaultProjectReadable
+ refresh; DeploymentLanding redirects into the default only when readable
(gated/absent default falls through to the directory, no 404 bounce).
- Directory.jsx role-aware empty states (C3.1 "Create your first project" CTA;
C3.2 "Nothing has been shared with you yet") + Owner-only "New project"
control + CreateProjectModal.
Tests: backend test_create_project_vertical.py (vertical + gates + the
deployment empty-state signals); frontend Directory.test.jsx empty-state cases.
Also: ignore the session-local .superpowers/ tooling dir.
