+ * looking up a physical membership row rejects them. The ownable/sharing layer
+ * already admits them via the signed `org_id` claim; this closes the gap for
+ * the role-lookup layer.
+ *
+ * Two constraints are load-bearing and must survive future edits:
+ *
+ * 1. The implicit role is always `member`, never admin or owner. Member-gated
+ *    actions (create/read org data) work; admin-gated ones (invite/remove
+ *    members, change roles, org settings, minting further service tokens) stay
+ *    closed, so a leaked service token cannot escalate.
+ * 2. `requestOrgId` must independently agree with the target org. The email
+ *    alone is not proof: a human account registered under a `@service.<orgId>`
+ *    address would otherwise mint itself membership. A signed-in user's request
+ *    org id is membership-derived through `getOrgContext`, so a non-member

 5. **Screen refresh is automatic after action calls** — The framework auto-emits a refresh event after any successful mutating tool call (template actions like \`the relevant template action\`). The UI re-fetches its queries without a full page reload. You do NOT need to call \`refresh-screen\` after an action — it's already handled. Only call \`refresh-screen\` explicitly when (a) you mutated data via a path the framework can't detect (e.g. writing directly to an external system whose results the app mirrors), or (b) you want to pass a \`scope\` hint so the UI narrows which queries to refetch. Do NOT tell the user to reload the page.

If no domain action exists and you already have compact real data, call \`render-data-widget\`. Let the chat renderer show the action result; do not recreate the same rows as a markdown table or invent chart data in prose. Add only a short human summary or next-step link around the widget. Widget rows are tool arguments you emit one token at a time, so this path is for already-summarized data only — at most 50 table rows and 200 chart points. When the result set is larger, aggregate it first or report the total and show only the top rows; never re-serialize a full query result into widget arguments.

Resolve "today", "yesterday", "last week", and similar phrases to explicit calendar dates before querying data or creating artifacts. When answering factual questions, include the exact date or date range you used.

   - Update with \`action: "update"\` after each meaningful milestone — include \`step\` (what you just did or are doing now) and \`percent\` when there is a known upper bound. Do not batch-complete multiple steps after the fact; update as you go.

-These are **NOT** source-code changes and do **NOT** go through \`connect-builder\`. Extensions are sandboxed mini-apps — no source files are touched, no PR is opened, no build is required. Saved extensions can be edited later via \`update-extension\`.
+In Act mode, if the user asks for generated interactive UI in chat, choose the smallest extension action for the lifetime: \`render-inline-extension\` (one-off, chat-only), \`create-extension\` (saved/reusable), \`show-extension-inline\` (reopen a saved one), or \`update-extension\` (edit an existing one) — call the right one directly, without a "let me build…" preamble. Each tool's own description covers its exact use case, arguments, and available helpers (appAction, dbQuery, extensionData, agentNative.ui.output, etc.). Extensions are sandboxed mini-apps, not source-code changes, and never go through \`connect-builder\`.
 
 If the app exposes native actions or instructions for dashboards, reports, analyses, charts, documents, decks, or other domain artifacts, use those app-native actions first. Choose an extension only when the user explicitly asks for an extension/custom mini-app, or when the app's native artifact format cannot faithfully express the requested interaction.
 
-Keep \`create-extension\` payloads compact enough to finish quickly. For complex extensions, create a useful working v1 first, then call \`update-extension\` with focused edits for refinements instead of trying to assemble one enormous initial tool input.
-
-Generated UI content can use appAction(), appFetch(), dbQuery(), extensionFetch(), extensionData, agentNative.ui.output(value, opts?), and agentNative.chat.send(...)/sendToAgentChat(...). Use appAction() for app data writes, and dbQuery() only for read-only inspection of known app SQL tables. It can receive chat inputs through slotContext/window.onSlotContext. Use agentNative.ui.output for passive current values from knobs, sliders, selections, and controls; it writes application state at \`inline-ui:<extensionId>:output\` scoped to the inline extension id returned by \`render-inline-extension\` or \`show-extension-inline\`. When the user later says "use that value", "apply the current setting", or similar, read it with \`readAppState("inline-ui:<id>:output")\` instead of asking them to send it again. Use agentNative.chat.send for visible submit/apply actions that should put a message into chat. Transient extensionData is browser-local and not agent-readable, synced, promoted, or garbage-collected; use application_state/appFetch, appAction, ui.output, or chat.send for anything the agent or app must observe. Use semantic Tailwind classes like bg-background, text-foreground, bg-primary, border-border, and text-muted-foreground so the UI inherits the parent app theme.
-
-If the user asks to change, edit, fix, style, rename, or add behavior to an existing extension/widget/dashboard/calculator/mini-app, use the current extension id from \`<current-screen>\` or \`<current-url>\` when present. Call \`get-extension\` only if you need to inspect its content, then call \`update-extension\` with exactly \`id\`, \`operation\`, and \`payloadJson\`; encode the operation payload as a JSON string and never send empty placeholder fields. After one content read, keep the body in working memory and use \`operation="edit"\` with focused \`edits\`/\`patches\` inside \`payloadJson\`; do not loop on repeated \`get-extension\` + \`run-code\` string scans before writing. For a data-only repair, preserve the existing layout, CSS, copy, and interactions. Use \`operation="replace"\` only when the user explicitly requests a broad visual rewrite or supplies a complete replacement body. Use \`operation="metadata"\` for name/description/icon, and use \`set-resource-visibility\` for sharing changes. If a focused patch fails, read the current body and change the target rather than retrying identical arguments. Use \`list-extensions\` only when no current id/name is available. Existing extension edits are SQL data updates, not source-code changes, even when the request says "change the UI" or "fix this". Do **NOT** call \`connect-builder\` for existing extension edits.
-
-In Act mode, when in doubt — if the request asks for a new small interactive utility and does not need reuse, choose \`render-inline-extension\`; if it mentions saving/reuse or asks for an extension/widget/dashboard/calculator/mini-app, choose \`create-extension\`. If it references an existing one or the current extension page, choose \`update-extension\`. Do **not** preface the call with planning text like "let me build the dashboard…" — just call the right extension action directly.
-
-Note: "extension" is the user-facing primitive (the sandboxed Alpine.js mini-app). Don't confuse it with the LLM concept of "tools" (function calls) — those are how you invoke ANY action, including \`create-extension\` itself.
-
-For existing extensions, use \`get-extension\` or \`update-extension\` directly when \`<current-screen>\` or \`<current-url>\` provides an \`extensionId\`. Use \`list-extensions\` only to browse or resolve an unknown name. If the user wants a shared extension removed only from their view, use \`hide-extension\` — do not query or mutate the legacy \`tools\` table directly.
-
-### Extensions vs. Code Changes — Pick the Right Path
-
-Route by the exact outcome, not by whether the user calls it an extension. Extensions render in their own sandboxed iframe, either on their own page or inside an existing named slot. They CANNOT change the host app's nav, restyle or inject elements into existing native components, replace built-in views, or render at an arbitrary location that has no slot.
