fix(brief): keep the dev hatches out of production builds (RB-11)

BIO-012: roleInterceptor/subjectInterceptor are correctly registered
only under isDevMode(), but three hand-written fetch adapters
(reveal-bignummer, letter-preview, org-template's proefbrief) bypass
HttpClient and set X-Role/X-Subject themselves with no guard. The
readers underneath, role.ts and subject.ts, were ungated too: they
read ?role=/?subject= and wrote it into sessionStorage on any
navigation, in any build -- for ?subject= that value is a BSN, which
is exactly what SessionStore's G1 comment promises never happens.

Gate both layers: currentRole()/currentSubject() return their safe
default immediately outside isDevMode() (no query-param read, no
sessionStorage write), and the three adapters additionally wrap their
headers in isDevMode() so a production request carries neither header
at all, matching what an HttpClient request already does once the
interceptors aren't registered.

TE-002: reveal-bignummer's response-shape validation was a "Trust
boundary" a spec could only reach by stubbing globalThis.fetch.
Exported it as parseRevealed(body), matching the other 30 parse*
boundaries in the repo. Same treatment for letter-preview's
errorMessage and org-template's proefbrief error mapping (extracted
from an inline try/catch into a named, exported function first, since
it wasn't already separate).

BIO-006(a): reveal-bignummer sent X-Step-Up: 'true' unconditionally,
so the backend's step-up precondition constrained nothing. reveal()
now takes a stepUp flag; BriefStore.revealBigNummer() -- reachable
only after the UI's confirm() gesture -- is the one that supplies it,
so the literal no longer lives in the transport adapter.

BIO-006(b): documented in roles-and-access.md that drafter is also
the backend's fallback identity (StubIdentityProvider's catch-all
arm), not just the dev switcher's initial choice -- so the
least-privilege consequence of it also being the only role that may
reveal a BSN is visible.

Doc correction, same diff: roles-and-access.md's "wired only under
isDevMode()" claim was false for the three hand-written fetch paths;
it now says where the gate lives (interceptor registration and the
reader functions) so it doesn't go stale the same way again.
CLAUDE.md's dev-only claims needed no correction -- they already
noted these three calls bypass the interceptor.

Every fix has a test confirmed red by temporarily reverting the
source change and rerunning the suite before restoring it.

+# RB-11 — dev hatches out of prod, trust boundaries exported, doc corrected
+
+Status: **implemented** · 2026-08-27 · Source findings: `07-bio2-compliance.md` BIO-012,
+TE-002, BIO-006(a)+(b) · `99-backlog.md` RB-11
+
+## What was wrong
+
+**BIO-012 — the dev hatches were not actually dev-only.** The `roleInterceptor` /
+`subjectInterceptor` chain is correctly registered only under `isDevMode()`
+(`app.config.ts`), but three adapters bypass `HttpClient` entirely and set headers
+themselves with no guard at all:
+
+- `reveal-bignummer.adapter.ts:26` — `'X-Role': currentRole(), 'X-Step-Up': 'true'`
+- `letter-preview.adapter.ts:46` — `'X-Role': currentRole()`, plus `'X-Subject'` when present
+- `org-template.adapter.ts:79` — `'X-Role': currentRole()`
+
+The readers underneath were ungated too: `role.ts:24` and `subject.ts:24` both read the
+`?role=`/`?subject=` query param and **wrote it into `sessionStorage`** on any
+navigation, in any build. For `?subject=` that value is a BSN — `subject.ts`'s own doc
+comment argued at length that the BSN must never leave `SessionStore` and then routed it
+through `sessionStorage` anyway. `docs/reference/roles-and-access.md:23` claimed "Both
+are wired only under `isDevMode()` — they do not exist in a production build", which was
+false for exactly these three call sites.
+
+**TE-002 — the reveal's trust boundary was not callable.** The response-shape validation
+in `reveal-bignummer.adapter.ts` (the code's own comment called it a "Trust boundary")
+lived inline inside `async reveal()`, after `await fetch(...)` on the global `fetch`. A
+spec could not reach it without stubbing `globalThis.fetch`. The same shape recurred,
+un-exported, in `letter-preview.adapter.ts`'s `errorMessage` and — contrary to the
+finding's text, see "Judgement calls" below — as an inline `try/catch` (not yet a
+function) in `org-template.adapter.ts`'s `proefbrief()`.
+
+**BIO-006(a) — the step-up stub was a constant.** `reveal-bignummer.adapter.ts` sent
+`'X-Step-Up': 'true'` unconditionally, as a literal, so the backend's
+`canReveal && X-Step-Up == "true"` precondition was satisfied by every call that reached
+the endpoint and constrained nothing.
+
+**BIO-006(b) — the default role holds the PII-reveal capability, undocumented.**
+`StubIdentityProvider`'s `_ =>` role-switch arm resolves any request with no (or an
+unrecognised) `X-Role` header to `drafter` — the one role `Authz.CanRevealBigNummer`
+grants. `roles-and-access.md` documented `drafter` as "the only role that may reveal a
+BSN" without noting that it is also the fallback identity, so the least-privilege
+consequence was invisible.

+
+**The fix is two layers, not one, because the finding named both.** Gating only
+`currentRole()`/`currentSubject()` would already stop the query param and the
+`sessionStorage` write from working outside `isDevMode()` — the three adapters would
+then send the safe default (`'X-Role': 'drafter'`, no `X-Subject`) even in production.
+The adapters are _also_ wrapped in `isDevMode()` so a production request from any of the
+three hand-written `fetch` calls carries no `X-Role`/`X-Subject` header at all, exactly
+matching what a `HttpClient` request already does once `roleInterceptor` is not
+registered — the two paths now agree on production behaviour instead of merely agreeing
+on the resulting header value.
+
+**`X-Step-Up` is deliberately not folded into the same `isDevMode()` gate.** It is not a
+`?role=`/`?subject=`-style dev override; it is the stub for a control BIO-006 says must
+survive into production (in stubbed form) until a real step-up exists. Nesting it inside
+`isDevMode()` would make the reveal endpoint permanently unreachable in a production
+build. Instead it is gated on the `stepUp` parameter alone, which is `true` only when
+`BriefStore.revealBigNummer()` — reachable only via `behandel-scherm.component.ts`'s
+`onReveal()` confirm — calls it.
+
+## Judgement calls
+
+- **`org-template.adapter.ts`'s proefbrief error mapping was not "already a separate
+  function".** The finding's remediation text says "the proefbrief error mapping in
+  `org-template.adapter.ts` — both are already separate functions and only need
+  `export` and a spec", matching `letter-preview.adapter.ts`'s `errorMessage`. Reading
+  the file: the other two adapters do have a standalone `errorMessage`/similar function,
+  but `org-template.adapter.ts`'s proefbrief error handling was inlined directly in the
+  `try { … } catch { … }` block, not a named function. This is a minor factual
+  imprecision in the finding, not a blocker — I extracted the same inline logic into a
+  named `proefbriefErrorMessage`, exported it, and added the same spec shape as its two
+  siblings. The result matches the finding's intent (a callable, spec'd trust boundary)
+  even though the starting shape needed one extra step the finding didn't mention.
+- **The BIO-006(a) literal moved to `BriefStore.revealBigNummer()`, not to the UI.**
+  `behandel-scherm.component.ts`'s `onReveal()` already gates the _only_ path that can
+  reach `store.revealBigNummer()` behind a `confirm()` dialog, and the store's own
+  docstring says the step-up gesture "is the UI's concern". Threading a boolean through
+  the component's `output<void>()` and the page's template binding would touch three more
+  files for no behavioural change, since the call graph already guarantees confirmation
+  happened first. I moved the literal one layer up instead — out of the adapter (the
+  transport) and into the store (the command that is exclusively reachable via the
+  confirmed gesture) — which is the smallest change consistent with "not from the
+  adapter's literal" and with this repo's ui → application → infrastructure layering (ui
+  cannot call infrastructure directly to pass the flag down any other way).
+- **Redundant-looking `isDevMode()` guards, kept anyway.** After gating
+  `currentRole()`/`currentSubject()`, the three adapters' own `isDevMode()` wrap around
+  the headers object is not strictly load-bearing for `X-Subject` (already `undefined`
+  outside dev) and only changes the _value sent_ for `X-Role` (a hardcoded `'drafter'`
+  vs. no header) rather than any security outcome (the backend treats both identically).
+  I kept the adapter-level gate anyway so the security posture is visible by inspection
+  at the fetch call site — matching `app.config.ts`'s `isDevMode() ? [...] : []` pattern
+  — rather than requiring a reviewer to trace into `role.ts`/`subject.ts` to confirm it.
+- **No `proefbrief()`-level header spec.** `OrgTemplateAdapter` injects `ApiClient` via
+  `inject()`, so exercising `proefbrief()` itself needs a `TestBed` + a mock `ApiClient`
+  purely to reach a method that doesn't use either. I judged that disproportionate to the
+  marginal coverage gained, since the identical `isDevMode()` pattern is already
+  exercised end-to-end (via `fetch` stubbing) on the other two adapters
+  (`reveal-bignummer.adapter.spec.ts`, `letter-preview.adapter.spec.ts`), and the
+  underlying reader-level fix is covered directly in `role.spec.ts`. Noted here as a
+  residual rather than silently skipped.
+- **`setRole()` (the dev-switcher writer) was left ungated.** BIO-012's evidence names
+  the two _readers_ (`currentRole`/`currentSubject`); `setRole()` is only ever invoked
+  from `debug-state.component.ts`, which is itself rendered only under
+  `shell.component.ts`'s `@if (isDev && debugPanel)`. Gating it too would be harmless but
+  wasn't asked for and has no reachable production call site to protect — left alone to
+  keep the diff to what the finding actually named.
+
+## Consequences worth knowing
+
+- **Doc correction, same diff.** `roles-and-access.md`'s "Both are wired only under
+  `isDevMode()`" line is accurate as of this commit — the gate now lives in the
+  interceptor registration **and** inside `currentRole()`/`currentSubject()` themselves.
+  Before this commit, the sentence was false for the three hand-written `fetch` paths; the
+  doc has been extended, not merely left as-is, to say _where_ the gate lives so a future
+  reader doesn't have to rediscover why the interceptor site alone wasn't sufficient.
+- **CLAUDE.md needed no correction.** Its "Scenario toggle (dev-only, not wired in prod
+  builds)" and "Dev role stand-in (dev-only)" lines don't claim anything about the three
+  hand-written `fetch` adapters specifically (the accompanying sentence already says they
+  "bypass the interceptor", which stays true — they still don't go through
+  `HttpClient`). Those claims were already compatible with a fix landing here; they made
+  no false statement that needed walking back.
+- **`?subject=` is still undocumented by name in `roles-and-access.md`.** The BIO-012
+  evidence and this ticket's brief both discuss it, but the doc file never named
+  `?subject=`/`X-Subject` before this change and still doesn't get a dedicated section —
+  only the new paragraph under "How to switch role" mentions it in passing. A full
+  `?subject=` write-up (its own e2e-only purpose, `X-Medewerker`/`X-Rollen` parallel) is
+  arguably worth a follow-up doc pass, but out of scope for a security-focused ticket
+  about production leakage.
+- **Behaviour spec regenerated.** `libs/shared/docs/behaviour-spec.mdx` is generated from
+  the suite (`npm run gen:behaviour-spec`) and is included in this diff — the CI gate's
+  drift check would otherwise fail on the 6 new `describe` blocks this ticket adds.
+

+change (tests unchanged) and re-running the affected suite, then restoring the fix:

+- `libs/shared/src/infrastructure/role.spec.ts` — removing the `if (!isDevMode())` guard
+  from `currentRole()` turned 3 "outside isDevMode()" tests red (`?role=` still honoured,
+  still written to `sessionStorage`).
+- `libs/shared/src/infrastructure/subject.spec.ts` — same removal on `currentSubject()`
+  turned its 3 "outside isDevMode()" tests red (a BSN still read from the URL and written
+  to `sessionStorage`).
+- `apps/ssp/src/app/brief/infrastructure/reveal-bignummer.adapter.spec.ts` — reverting
+  `reveal()` to the original unconditional `{ 'X-Role': currentRole(), 'X-Step-Up': 'true' }`
+  turned both `RevealBigNummerAdapter.reveal` tests red (`X-Step-Up` sent regardless of the
+  `stepUp` argument; `X-Role` sent regardless of `isDevMode()`).
