📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Added an implementation plan for opt-in multi-tenancy support.
  • Documented organization membership, role-based access, tenant-scoped data handling, and request organization resolution.

Greptile Summary

The PR adds an implementation plan for opt-in, organization-based multi-tenancy in Cedar applications.

• Defines the organization, membership, and tenant-owned data model.
• Proposes request-scoped tenant resolution and Prisma-level query enforcement.
• Designs the @cedarjs/tenancy runtime and cedar setup tenancy scaffolding command.
• Documents web routing, jobs, migrations, generator integration, testing, and delivery sequencing.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The documentation-only PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
docs/implementation-plans/2026-08-26-multi-tenancy.md	Adds the multi-tenancy architecture and rollout plan; the revised OrgScope placement resolves the previously reported lack of router context, and no eligible blocking defect remains.

In `@docs/implementation-plans/2026-08-26-multi-tenancy.md`:
- Around line 110-116: Update the multi-tenancy setup to handle existing User
rows by adding a transactional backfill that creates an Organization and owner
Membership for each user without one, or explicitly abort setup when existing
users are detected; ensure every existing user can resolve currentOrg before
tenant-owned queries run.
- Around line 190-199: Update the $allModels.$allOperations tenant extension so
update, updateMany, upsert.update, and nested update paths reject changes to
organizationId or require it to equal the current tenantId; preserve the
existing where-clause tenant filtering and create-data injection.
- Around line 190-199: Update the multi-tenancy design around
$allModels.$allOperations to handle nested relation reads, since top-level
scoping does not rewrite include, select, or _count queries. Reject unscoped
nested relation read shapes or route them through tenant-scoped queries, and add
integration coverage for include, select, and _count to ensure tenant-owned rows
always require an organizationId predicate.
- Around line 340-346: The setup command must propagate the selected
--tenant-field value into the generated createTenancyExtension configuration
instead of relying on the default organizationId. Update the generation logic
and generated db.ts template around createTenancyExtension, then verify the
selected field is consistently used for create, read, and update tenant scoping.
- Around line 349-366: Remove organization creation from getCurrentUser and keep
it read-only. Provision the default organization through a one-time post-signup
hook or an idempotent transaction that prevents concurrent duplicate creation,
then return or refetch memberships before resolveCurrentOrg handles the current
organization.
- Around line 128-136: The documented loose tenancy model does not fully enforce
organization scoping for relation writes or raw queries. Update the tenancy
guidance around the Prisma extension and related sections to explicitly reject
or guard connect/connectOrCreate and raw SQL operations, validate organization
agreement, or require compound keys/RLS when those guarantees are needed; ensure
the stated default enforcement matches the actual supported behavior.
- Around line 194-199: Update the createMany handling in the multi-tenancy
injection rules to support both object and array forms of createMany.data,
including nested createMany.data arrays. Inject tenantId into every row, reject
any row whose existing organizationId conflicts with the tenant, and add
coverage for arrays containing both valid and conflicting rows.
- Around line 194-199: Update the multi-tenancy operation matrix and associated
tests to include Prisma’s createManyAndReturn and updateManyAndReturn
operations, ensuring tenant identifiers are injected and cross-tenant writes are
rejected consistently with createMany and updateMany.
- Around line 152-157: The organization-resolution contract must expose parsed
GraphQL variables or operation context to resolveCurrentOrg so requests without
the cedar-org header can resolve by orgId or orgSlug. Update the resolver
invocation and input type while preserving the documented header-first fallback
order, and add coverage for both variable forms.
- Around line 152-160: Update setCurrentOrg so role and membershipId are always
derived from the authenticated user’s validated membership rather than accepted
from the resolver’s CurrentOrg payload. Preserve rejection when no membership
exists, and add coverage showing a viewer membership cannot be elevated by a
forged owner payload used by hasOrgRole or requireMembership.
- Around line 333-359: Define the plain-handler tenancy path in the setup plan:
ensure generated or documented api/src/functions/* handlers establish
context.currentOrg via resolveCurrentOrg(...) before tenant-scoped Prisma
operations, or consistently wrap them with withTenancy(handler). Do not use
$withoutTenant() as a substitute, and specify the required request/context
inputs for the chosen approach.

[Tobbe]

Addressed all 12 review findings in f5c07bb and d9c3856. Mapping:

Greptile — provider above the router. Valid. The active org now lives in a module-level store: an Apollo link in App.tsx reads it for the cedar-org header, and an <OrgScope> component placed as a <Set wrap> inside Routes.tsx writes it from useParams(). Setup step 10 rewritten accordingly.

CodeRabbit:

• Backfill existing users — added setup step 9: a generated data migration runs ensureDefaultOrganization for every user without a membership, and the printed next steps order prisma migrate dev before data-migrate up.
• Forged role via custom resolver — setCurrentOrg now takes only { id, slug } plus the authenticated user's memberships and derives role/membershipId itself; decision 4 and the tests updated (viewer membership + forged owner payload must stay viewer).
• Updates changing the tenant field — new table row: data.organizationId on update/updateMany/updateManyAndReturn/upsert.update and nested updates is rejected unless equal to the tenant.
• createMany.data object vs array — table now says "on every row (data may be one object or an array)", with a mixed-rows test case.
• createManyAndReturn / updateManyAndReturn — added to the table and tests.
• connect / raw SQL escape paths — connect/connectOrCreate/disconnect/set targeting tenant-owned models get organizationId merged into their where (Prisma 5+ accepts non-unique filters in WhereUniqueInput, so a cross-org connect fails as record-not-found); raw query methods throw TenantScopeError on the scoped client and are only available on $withoutTenant(). Relation targets come from Prisma.dmmf. The remaining un-coverable shape (to-one relation from a global model to a tenant-owned row) is named explicitly and left to the compound-PK variant.
• Nested relation reads — new table row: nested list include/select/_count of tenant-owned relations get where.organizationId injected, including when reached from User/Organization/Membership; integration tests added for include, select and _count.
• GraphQL variables not reachable — resolveCurrentOrg gained a variables argument; step 5 passes the parsed operation variables from the GraphQL context.
• --tenant-field not propagated — step 3 passes tenantField into createTenancyExtension.
• Org creation inside getCurrentUser — removed. getCurrentUser stays read-only; a generated idempotent ensureDefaultOrganization (deterministic user-<id> slug, unique-violation treated as already-created, single transaction) is called from the dbAuth signup handler and from the GraphQL context function before resolveCurrentOrg.
• Plain handlers — decided rather than left open: withTenancy(handler) is part of @cedarjs/tenancy and is in the printed next steps.

This is a design document, so the fixes are contract changes rather than code; they will be tested as listed under Testing when Layer 1 lands. Further findings below this bar (naming, wording, hypothetical Prisma shapes not in the table) get replies, not commits.
