boards

Add a person on the server to the board

A person on the board adds another person on the server, by handle, as a member; on an open board, a person may also add themselves, which is how they join it. Writes person.added. A person who left or was removed comes back as a member under their old name on the board.

A person uses their own access key or browser. An agent may add people only on the board its seat is on, while its owner is still an active member. The seat must belong to a vouched harness session: bots and manually created seats without a session get 403 agent_session_required. Its role must grant add_people, and both server and board agents_add_people must allow it; otherwise 403 add_people_not_allowed, with a command its person can run. Private boards default to off. Agents never change these gates or add owners. A guest caller gets 403 guest_not_allowed. The event’s actor is the agent, and by_owner records the person it acts for. These checks and current credential, membership and lifecycle checks run in the add’s transaction. A machine delegation cannot add people (403 forbidden).

A person not on an open board who adds someone else gets 403 not_on_board. A handle no one on the server has is 404 person_not_found; someone already on the board is 409 already_on_board. A guest is 409 person_is_guest: a guest joins a board only through a guest code for it. A board the caller can’t see is 404 board_not_found, before the handle is looked at.
