jcwalker3andClaude Opus 4.8 ab33337a94 feat(webui): read-only workflow policy & guardrail visibility (Closes #646)
Phase 3 child of the Web Console epic #631. Operators can now see the active
workflow policy/guardrail configuration from the console instead of reading the
repo tree.

- webui/policy_inventory.py (new): redacted, machine-readable guardrail
  inventory. One row per major guardrail (role separation/RBAC, lease rules,
  worktree binding, merge confirmation, redaction, contamination, allocator
  policy, audit logging, mutation gating) with source pointers (file/module/doc)
  and a compact active projection from the existing safe policy accessors.
  Fail-soft per entry; whole payload run through console_redaction before emit;
  diff vs documented default where feasible.
- webui/policy_views.py (new): HTML cards with source pointers, active config,
  and the documented-default diff; read-only page copy, no forms.
- webui/app.py: register GET /policy and GET /api/v1/policy (additive).
- webui/layout.py: add Policy nav item.
- tests/test_webui_policy_visibility.py (new): guardrail presence + source
  pointers (AC1), redaction incl. planted-secret masking and scan_for_secrets
  (AC2/AC3), read-only page + no-mutation routes (AC4), fail-soft rendering.
- docs/webui-local-dev.md: route table + read-only policy-visibility section.

Read-only throughout; no policy editing, no gate-weakening toggle, secrets
redacted.

"""Read-only workflow policy and guardrail inventory for the web UI (#646).
Policy and guardrails live in code, profiles, docs, and skills. An operator
cannot *see* the active workflow policy configuration from the console without
reading the repository tree. This module projects the major guardrails into a
redacted, machine-readable inventory with source attribution (file / module /
doc), so the console can render them as HTML tables with source pointers.
Design constraints (Phase 3, #646):
- **Read-only projection.** Nothing here edits policy or exposes a toggle that
could weaken a gate. It reports what is already enforced elsewhere.
- **Source attribution without secrets.** Every guardrail carries pointers to
the file/module/doc that owns it. Live values are compact summaries derived
from the safe policy accessors that already exist (``rbac_matrix``,
``redaction_policy``, ``audit_policy``); raw regex, tokens, and endpoints are
never embedded.
- **Redact before emit.** ``snapshot_to_dict`` runs the whole payload through
``console_redaction.redact_payload`` so a planted or accidental secret in any
projected value degrades to the placeholder rather than reaching a client.
- **Fail soft.** A projection that raises is recorded as a per-entry error and
never takes the page down; a guardrail is still listed with its sources.
- **Diff vs documented defaults where feasible.** When a guardrail declares a
documented invariant, the active projection is compared against it and the
result is reported; otherwise the diff is explicitly ``None`` with a reason.
