 - **`PATCH /plugin/farmmanager/sites/:domain`**
   - **Action**: Partially update a site's properties (preserves unspecified fields).
   - **Request Body**: `{ "owner": {"name": "Carol", ...} }` or `{ "status": "active" }` or both

   - **Response Body**: The updated site object.
 
+### Site states
+
+A site's `status` (stored in `<site>/status.json` and surfaced on every site object) is one of:
+
+- **`active`** — normal, fully editable site.
+- **`readonly`** — pages are still served and readable, but edits, forks, and new pages are blocked. Reversible: `PATCH` the status back to `active` to restore editing. The transition is idempotent — re-applying `readonly` keeps the original `readOnlyAt` timestamp, and returning to `active` clears it.
+- **`inactive`** — soft-deleted / deactivated (set by `DELETE` without `hard=true`).
+
+**How read-only is enforced (plugin-only):** wiki-server gates every content-mutating route — edit/add/remove/move/create/fork via `PUT /page/:slug/action`, page `DELETE`, favicon upload, and recycler deletes — behind a single `securityhandler.isAuthorized(req)` check, while public page reads never call it. On startup the plugin wraps that handler so it denies authorization whenever the current site's `status.json` reads `readonly`, blocking all writes without touching reads and without modifying wiki-server. `isAdmin` is left intact, so the farm-manager API can still flip the flag back. In farm mode each site has its own server instance; the flag is re-read from disk per check, so a status change made from the admin site takes effect immediately.
+
+**On-site indicator (plugin-only):** the wiki client always loads `/theme/style.css` (served from `<site>/status/theme/style.css`). When a site goes read-only the plugin writes a small, clearly-delimited banner rule into that stylesheet, and removes only that block when the site is reactivated — any owner-authored theme CSS in the file is preserved. This needs no changes to wiki-client or the security module. Because CSS cannot read the per-request `isOwner` flag, the banner is shown to **every** visitor of a read-only site, not only the owner. (An owner-only on-site message would require client JS reading `isOwner`, which means touching the auth provider's client code; the banner above is the robust plugin-only option.)

 - **`DELETE /plugin/farmmanager/sites/:domain`**
   - **Action**: Deactivate a wiki site (soft delete). Adds a `status.json` file marking the site as inactive.

 ## Web Interface Design
 
-The web interface will be developed after the backend API is complete. It will follow the established FedWiki pattern of providing a client-side component that can be embedded and used within a wiki page.
+The client component (`farmmanager` plugin item) renders an admin dashboard inside a wiki page. It lists every site in the farm with its owner, page count, and a status badge (`active` / `read-only` / `inactive`), and gives each site a one-click action to flip it between editable and read-only (and to reactivate a deactivated site). It calls the JSON API above, so it inherits the same admin-only access control; non-admin or non-farm responses are surfaced as an inline message. Add it to a page like any other plugin item (a `farmmanager` story item), ideally on your designated admin site.
