3 of 4, on #2982 — this diff shows only what is added on top. Above: #2988.

Two front ends over the shared core: a step-cli subcommand and the browser's view of the same functions. Neither adds a decision of its own — that is the point.

step-cli step build-election-event -w "Client Import Workbook.xlsx" --tenant-id …
import{checkBundle}from"sequent-core"constreport=checkBundle(awaitfile.text())

It produces the same bundle the Python does

Run against the real SEIU1000 workbook and diffed against janitor's output for the same file and --tenant-id: every CSV, admin_users.csv, all eight templates, templates.json and keycloak_admin_realm_patch.jsonbyte-identical; the event JSON identical when parsed (2-space indent instead of 1). The event id and derived tenant id match to the character, and every warning matches — including the dlc-officers-dburs permission label that made every election invisible on that event's first real import.

The comparison caught two real bugs

  • A phone number lost its +.+33645312453 arrived as 33645312453. The workbook computes contacts with a formula, so the cell is t="str" with a cached string result, and calamine 0.26 tried a float parse first — which in Rust accepts a leading +. Utils.sendCode would then have texted a number with no country code. Fixed by moving to calamine 0.36, with two tests pinning it.
  • zip's default features cannot compile for a browser. They pull bzip2, zstd and lzma — C libraries with no wasm32 target — so nothing in this module could ever have run in a browser, which is the whole point of the work. Now default-features = false with deflate only, the one method an import archive uses.

Both were found by having two implementations to compare, not by reading the code.

What is added

CLIstep build-election-event. --check-only reports without writing; --strict refuses to write on warnings (what CI wants); --base-export takes a .json or an export .zip; --templates-dir overrides any of the eight entity templates and says which it took — a .hbs whose name is not one of them is reported rather than ignored, because that is a typo; --auth-preset none builds without configuring authentication, which the SEIU workbook needs (it declares SAML and leaves the IdP metadata URL blank). --out and --created-at keep the Python's names; --validate-only becomes --check-only, matching the importer's own check_only.
BrowsercheckBundle ships in the existing WASM package with no workflow change — election_config::wasm is gated the way crate::wasm is, and build_wasm.yml already enables what it needs. buildFromWorkbook and authPresets are additionally gated on xlsx and archive, which that build does not enable, so the four existing consumers gain the validator and carry nothing else.
A second WASM packagerebuild-election-config-wasm.sh plus a build_wasm.yml step, for the configuration SPAs: the same crate with the spreadsheet parser, template engine and zip writer. Built in CI even though nothing vendors it yet, because this is the only place those features are compiled for wasm32.
Client profilesprofile.rs — what a client's build may fix, hide or require in a plan — and policy.rs, the ballot values the browser may offer, in the platform's own words.

Validation runs twice, and they are different questions: the builder reports what is wrong with the workbook, in sheet-and-row terms an author can act on; validate() then reports what would be wrong with the bundle, which is the check windmill runs before importing.

Plain JS values, not wasm-bindgen classes: a front end holds these in state and hands them to React, and an opaque handle with a free() method is a memory leak waiting for whoever forgets to call it. A failed build returns its problems rather than throwing, because a list of problems is something a page can render.

The browser runs the same fixtures the Rust tests do

fixtureCases() hands over the suite from #2982 as data rather than something a front end reimplements — so a page asserting checkBundle(case.bundle) matches case.expect is checking that browser and server reach the same verdict, which is the only thing that makes one validator worth having.

 step-cli step build-election-event -w workbook.xlsx -o out
Every decision it makes lives in sequent_core::election_config — the same module
windmill validates with and the browser-side tools will run. The command only talks
to the filesystem and to whoever ran it; reading a workbook, building, validating
and laying out the files are pure functions in the core, which is why nothing is
written until every one of them has succeeded.
It produces the same bundle the Python does. Run against the real SEIU1000 workbook
and diffed against janitor's output for the same file with the same tenant id:
export_voters, export_scheduled_events, export_reports, export_permissions,
admin_users, every template and templates.json are byte-identical; the event
document is identical when parsed, differing only in indentation. The event id and
the derived tenant id match to the character, which the pinned ids tests predicted.
Every warning matches too, including the dlc-officers-dburs permission label that
made every election invisible on the first real import.
That diff caught a real bug, which is the point of having two implementations to
compare. admin_users.csv did not match: an international phone number arrived as
33645312453 instead of +33645312453. The workbook computes contact details with a
formula, so the cell is t="str" with a cached string result, and calamine 0.26 tried
a float parse on that string first — Rust's float parser accepts a leading plus — so
the number silently lost its country prefix and Utils.sendCode would have texted a
number with no country code. Fixed by moving to calamine 0.36, where t="str" returns
a string unconditionally. Two tests pin it: one for the leading plus, one for a
formula result that is text but looks numeric.
Validation runs twice on purpose, because they are different questions. The builder
reports what is wrong with the workbook, in sheet-and-row terms an author can act on.
validate() then reports what would be wrong with the bundle — the same check windmill
runs before importing.
--check-only reports without writing. --strict refuses to write when there are
warnings, which is what CI wants: a warning means the bundle imports and the
configuration probably is not what its author meant. --base-export reads a .json or
an export .zip. --templates-dir overrides any of the eight entity templates and says
which it took; a .hbs file whose name is not one of them is reported rather than
ignored, because that is a typo and rendering the builtin would leave its author
staring at output that ignores their edit. --auth-preset none builds without
configuring authentication, which the SEIU workbook needs: it declares SAML and
leaves the IdP metadata URL blank pending the client's identity provider.
Unread sheets are named, so a misspelled tab does not silently drop its entities. The
output distinguishes what to import from what travels beside it, and says outright
that admin_users.csv is a secret.
Also: sheet-level problems no longer claim "row 0", which names no row a spreadsheet
has and reads as a bug. Origin::sheet and Origin::column say what they mean.

--out rather than --out-dir, and --created-at, both as the Python janitor spelled
them. The documentation for those is already written and already read; renaming
them for no reason costs someone a lookup.
--check-only keeps its name rather than the Python's --validate-only, because it
is the same thing the importer calls check_only on the server, and the two being
one word apart is more confusing than either name alone.

election_config::wasm is a thin wrapper and nothing more: the work happens in the
same functions step-cli and windmill call, and this converts between them and
JavaScript. That is the point — a file that validates in a browser imports on the
server, because the same code decided both times.
checkBundle ships in the existing WASM package today, with no workflow change:
election_config::wasm is gated the way crate::wasm is, and the build already
enables both features it needs. So the admin portal can tell an operator what is
wrong with an export before they upload it, and the answer is the importer's own.
buildFromWorkbook and authPresets are additionally gated on the xlsx and archive
features, which that build does not enable — so admin-portal, voting-portal,
ui-core and ballot-verifier gain the validator and carry no spreadsheet parser,
template engine or zip writer. The packaging for a build that does enable them
lands with the SPA that needs it, rather than being guessed at here.
The finding worth reading: the zip crate's default features pull bzip2, zstd and
lzma, which are C libraries with no wasm32 target. Left as they were, nothing in
this module could ever have compiled for a browser — the whole point of the work —
and the failure would have surfaced much later, in a front end's build. Now
default-features = false with deflate only, which is the only method an import
archive uses. calamine already restricted its own zip the same way.
Returns plain JS values rather than wasm-bindgen classes. A front end holds these
in state, hands them to React and serialises them; an opaque handle with a free()
method is a memory leak waiting for whoever forgets to call it.
A failed build returns its problems rather than throwing. A list of problems is
something a page can render; an exception is not. The one exception is a file that
does not parse as an export at all, where there is no list to render.
The TypeScript interface for Problem, Report and BuildOutput is declared here
rather than written again in the front end, and authPresets returns the presets
rather than a dropdown duplicating them — so a UI cannot offer a preset that does
not exist or miss one that does.
Verified: type-checks with the CI feature set, tests and clippy unchanged. The
wasm32 target itself could not be built on this machine — ring's build script needs
a clang that targets wasm32, which Apple's does not have — so the cross-compile was
not exercised locally; CI builds that target today.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds election policy modeling, profile support, plan compilation, WebAssembly APIs, a new election-event CLI command, validation improvements, and CI packaging for the election-configuration WASM module.

Changes

Election configuration build pipeline

Layer / File(s)Summary
Policy and behavior contracts
packages/sequent-core/src/election_config/policy.rs, policy_tests.rs
Adds policy enums, tally settings, override patches, presets, serialization metadata, and tests.
Plan migration and compilation
packages/sequent-core/src/election_config/architect.rs, architect_tests.rs
Migrates version 1 plans, resolves hierarchical overrides, and compiles validated plans into archive layouts.
Client profile processing
packages/sequent-core/src/election_config/profile.rs, profile_tests.rs, mod.rs
Adds path-based profile parsing, validation, default application, fixed fields, and required-field checks.
WebAssembly package and bindings
packages/sequent-core/src/election_config/wasm.rs, Cargo.toml, .devcontainer/scripts/rebuild-election-config-wasm.sh, .github/workflows/build_wasm.yml
Adds browser APIs, JavaScript output contracts, wasm32-compatible packaging, and CI artifact publication.
Election event CLI command
packages/step-cli/src/commands/build_election_event.rs, packages/step-cli/src/commands/mod.rs, packages/step-cli/src/main.rs, packages/step-cli/Cargo.toml
Adds workbook-based event building with templates, authentication, base exports, validation, archives, and output handling.
Validation and runtime support
packages/sequent-core/src/election_config/{build.rs,build_realm.rs,build_tables.rs,sheet.rs,time.rs,validate.rs,xlsx.rs}
Adds origin constructors, presentation-policy validation, safe timestamp conversion, and formula-text fixture handling with tests.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk:🟠 High · up to 77827

The new event-building CLI can accept unsafe path components that may delete or write outside the intended output directory, while strict mode can still emit output despite template warnings and the browser fixture API has an incompatible type contract. These create concrete destructive-file, validation, and integration risks, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed.

fixtureCases() returns the same list the Rust tests run, as data rather than
something a front end reimplements. A page asserting checkBundle(case.bundle)
matches case.expect is checking that the browser and the server reach the same
verdict — which is the only thing that makes one validator worth having. A suite
written separately in TypeScript would prove only that each side agrees with itself.

A second package from the same crate, with election_config_xlsx, _templates and
_archive turned on.
The four front ends that already vendor sequent-core build without those on purpose.
They get the bundle schema and the validator; a spreadsheet parser, a template engine
and a zip writer have no business in the voting portal. Turning the features on in
that build would have been one line and the wrong line.
wasm-pack takes the npm package name from the crate name, so both builds would
otherwise produce sequent-core-0.1.0.tgz. The script renames the manifest between
build and pack — with node rather than sed, because package.json is JSON and a regex
over it is how a build script starts corrupting files that contain the same string
twice.
Built in CI even though nothing vendors the result yet, because this is the only
place that compiles those features for wasm32, and that is the part most likely to
break. zip's default features pull bzip2, zstd and lzma, none of which have a wasm32
target; restricting it to deflate is what makes the build possible at all, and a CI
step is what keeps it that way when someone adds the next dependency. The package is
uploaded as an artifact so it can be vendored without a local nix toolchain.

`to_workbook` and `side_files` had no callers outside their own tests. There was
no `compile_plan` anywhere, and `wasm.rs` exported nothing that took a
`Blueprint` — so the Rust half could validate a plan and map it to rows, the
React half could collect one, and nothing joined them. Both halves were green:
388 Rust tests, 82 TypeScript tests, and every React test injecting a fake core.
`compile_plan` is the join, and it is six steps of sequencing rather than a
second builder:
validate_plan → to_workbook → build → validate → layout → side_files
The fourth is the one worth having. The built export is deserialized into
`ImportElectionEventSchema` — the importer's own struct — and run through
`validate()`, the importer's own rules. That is the same second pass `step-cli`
and `buildFromWorkbook` each make, and it belongs here rather than in every
caller, because "a plan that compiles produces a bundle the platform accepts" is
the property this module exists to guarantee.
`side_files` output now joins `layout.auxiliary`, which is already the field
meaning "must not go inside the archive". A ceremony schedule inside the
importable zip would suggest it was part of the import.
`validatePlan` and `compilePlan` are gated on `election_config_archive` alone,
not also on `election_config_xlsx`: compiling a plan needs the templates, the
builder and the zip writer, but no spreadsheet parser, so the wizard's package
does not carry calamine. The options reader both entry points share is lifted
out of `build_from_workbook` for the same reason the resolved struct and its
patch share a macro — two copies drift the first time `BuildOptions` grows.
400 passed, 0 failed. fmt and clippy clean.

With the ungated re-export fixed, `build_wasm` compiled for wasm32 for the first
time — the package built and `wasm-opt` ran — and then fell over on the last line:
Error: Unable to find the pkg directory at path "pkg-election-config",
or in a child directory of "pkg-election-config"
`wasm-pack pack` takes the **crate** directory and looks for a `pkg` child inside
it. That is why `wasm-pack pack .` works for the default build, whose output goes
to `./pkg`. Given a custom `--out-dir` it goes hunting for
`pkg-election-config/pkg`, which is not a thing.
`wasm-pack pack` is a wrapper around `npm pack` in the output directory, so that
is what this does now, and it leaves the tarball exactly where the artifact
upload expects it.
The wasm32 build itself is unaffected and was already succeeding — including
`validatePlan` and `compilePlan`, whose first compile for that target this was.

A profile is how one customer's Election Architect differs from another's:
values they never choose, screens they never see, fields they must fill in.
## Paths, not top-level keys
The TypeScript version could lock any top-level key of its config and nothing
deeper — `LockableConfigKey = Exclude<keyof ElectionConfig, 'elections'>`, with
ballot structure carved out because it has to stay editable.
That is not enough for what clients ask. `clients/smart-td.json` locks
`defaultCountingAlgorithm`, but what SMART TD wants is "every contest is
plurality-at-large" — and locking the event-wide default leaves every
per-contest override open, which defeats the lock entirely.
So a profile speaks in paths, with `[]` for every element of a list:
elections[].contests[].overrides.tally.counting_algorithm
One entry, every contest, however many there are. The range is deliberately
tiny: literal segments and `[]`, nothing else. No globs, because nobody can
predict what one does. No indices, because `elections[2]` breaks the moment
somebody reorders their ballot — refused with that sentence as the message.
A path naming a field no plan has is refused rather than ignored, because a
profile with a typo in it configures nothing, silently, and nobody finds out
until a client asks why their build looks like everybody else's.
## Defaults seed; locks force
Two different things. A locked or hidden path is written unconditionally, which
is what makes the lock hold against a hand-edited plan. Any other default is
written only where the plan says nothing, so it seeds a new plan without
discarding an answer somebody gave.
Zero and `false` count as answers. Treating them as empty is how a default
quietly overwrites a deliberate choice — there is a test for the threshold case.
## One enforcement point
The TypeScript guarded this twice, in `stripLockedUpdates` on write and
`reapplyLockedFields` on import, and both were bypassable by editing the saved
JSON. Here `apply_profile` runs as step one of `compile_plan`, before validation
— so the locked value is the one that gets checked and the one that gets built.
`a_locked_value_reaches_the_built_bundle` asserts it end to end, because a lock
that only holds in the plan is decoration.
`hidden` is drawing, not permission. The module says so at the top, and
`readProfile` hands the front end the paths rather than a verdict: Rust decides
which paths, and which screens that empties is a question about screens.
## Required fields are problems, not a boolean
They go onto the report with the path that owns them, so the wizard's existing
router puts each on the step that can fix it. The TypeScript needed
`FIELD_WIZARD_STEP` — thirty keys mapped to steps by hand — and `isFieldFilled`,
a thirty-arm switch. Both existed only because its paths were flat, and both are
gone.
## Also here
`Profile` carries its own warnings rather than dropping them, which a test
caught: locking a path with no default fixes it at whatever the plan happens to
say, and that was being computed and thrown away.
424 passed, 0 failed. fmt clean; clippy reports nothing in these modules.

The wizard could not produce a ranked election. Every contest took
`contest.hbs`'s defaults — non-preferential, plurality-at-large — because
nothing in a plan could say otherwise. And the four policies it *could* set were
event-wide, written identically onto every contest.
## Typed values, no mapping table
`policy.rs` carries the platform's enums variant for variant, serialising as the
exact strings `contest.presentation` holds. There is no mapping step, so nothing
can be lossy and no value the platform rejects can be invented.
Both previous implementations chose a friendly `allowed | warn | restricted` and
a mapping function instead. It reads better, and it escaped the value space
three times in one thirty-line file:
- `restricted` for an under-vote → `not-allowed`, which `EUnderVotePolicy` does
not have. An under-vote cannot be refused, only warned about.
- `warn`, review-only, for an over-vote → `warn-only-in-review`, which
`EOverVotePolicy` does not have either.
- candidate order → `alphabetic`, where the platform says `alphabetical`.
Each is a contest that imports cleanly and then behaves in a way nobody chose.
`the_values_those_mappings_invented_are_not_in_the_value_space` pins all three.
The dropdown-maze worry is answered by the Admin Portal, which already keys
human labels off these exact strings in eight languages — so the enums *are* the
UI vocabulary. `PolicyValue::LABELS` hands a front end the namespace.
## One declaration, two types
A `policy_set!` macro emits the resolved struct and its patch together, because
adding a policy to one and forgetting the other is the mistake that would
otherwise happen — the patch is the type nobody remembers.
Three levels resolve most-specific-last, with one exception: an election that
has claimed the decision does not consult its contests. `shared: Option<Overrides>`
rather than the old `samePolicyForAllContests` flag beside a value, because
"shared is on but there is no shared value" is a state somebody would produce
and nobody could explain.
## Also fixed
- `min_votes` was `Cell::Int(0)` with a comment saying the wizard does not ask,
so "rank at least three" was unexpressible.
- `voting_type`, `counting_algorithm` and `is_encrypted` are now per contest.
`validate.rs` already refused a preferential contest counted by plurality, so
the coupling was enforced the moment these became reachable.
- `validate.rs` now checks every `presentation.*_policy` against the value space.
A policy the Admin Portal does not know imported without complaint and then
behaved as whatever the voting portal fell back to.
## Version 2, and version 1 still compiles to its own bytes
`migrate_v1` reproduces version 1's mapping **exactly, including where it was
wrong** — `restricted` for an under-vote still yields `warn-only-in-review`. A
plan saved under version 1 has been reviewed by somebody, and getting it right
now would silently change an approved election. New plans get the considered
defaults.
`the_template_defaults_and_the_plan_defaults_agree` parses `contest.hbs` and
compares it against `Policies::default()`, killing one of the three copies of
the value space at no cost. Confirmed it fails, by changing one default:
contest.hbs and Policies::default() disagree about blank_vote_policy
## Verified

`policyCatalog()` returns every policy kind, its values most-permissive-first,
its default, the bundle column it writes and the Admin Portal translation
namespace its labels come from — plus the three named presets.
Returned rather than duplicated in TypeScript, for the reason `authPresets` is:
a dropdown cannot list a value the platform does not have, and cannot miss one
it does. The value space already exists in three places — `ContestPresentation.ts`,
`contest.hbs` and `policy.rs` — and handing it over as data is what stops a
fourth appearing in the wizard.
`labels` matters as much as `values`. Without it a front end invents its own
wording for `not-allowed-with-msg-and-disable`, and then two products describe
the same setting differently.
443 passed. Built and formatted on the devenv.

A critical review found the client-profile design's headline example
unimplementable. Both the module docs and the delivery guide print
elections[].contests[].overrides.tally.counting_algorithm
as the reason paths exist at all — SMART TD wanting "every contest is
plurality-at-large", which locking the event-wide default cannot express. That
path was **refused** with "names nothing a plan has".
`shape_of_a_plan` builds the reference shape by serializing a `Blueprint`, and
`overrides` and `shared` both carry `skip_serializing_if`. Left at their
defaults they vanish, so every path through them looked like a typo. Same for
`schedule.voting_opens.zone`, whose `zone` is skipped while empty, and for the
moments themselves, which are `Option` and serialize as `null`.
The shape is now filled in rather than defaulted. `the_paths_the_docs_advertise_are_accepted`
walks the exact list both documents print — the test that existed used
`description`, which is why nothing caught this.
Also from the review:
**A lock with no default is now an error, not a warning.** `apply_profile`
writes only what `defaults` names, so a locked path with nothing to lock *to*
fixed the field at whatever the plan happened to say. The warning even admitted
it. A profile that loads, claims to fix a field and fixes nothing is worse than
one that refuses.
**An absurd `offset_minutes` no longer panics.** `self.offset_minutes * 60`
overflowed on `i32::MAX` — and in a release build wrapped silently to a
plausible `-00:01`. These fields come out of a saved plan, which people edit.
**A dead branch removed.** `and_local_timezone(...).earliest()` was guarded
against a spring-forward gap it can never see: a `FixedOffset` maps every wall
clock exactly once. Detecting a real gap needs the zone's rules, which this
module deliberately does not carry. `single()` and a note, rather than a
comment describing a check that does not happen.
**A default is named, not indexed.** `defaults[0]` meant the alphabetically
first key of a `BTreeMap`, not the first line of the file.
**And two tests that could not fail.** One compared the lengths of two structs
generated from a single macro invocation — equal by construction, and blind to
the names differing. The other asserted `!labels.is_empty()` on seven string
literals. Replaced with a check that the catalog's hand-written field names
match the ones serde actually reads: a typo there makes the picker emit
`{overvot: "allowed"}`, which `Policies` silently discards, so a policy choice
vanishes between the dropdown and the bundle.
447 passed. fmt clean; clippy reports nothing in these modules.

`compilePlan` took the profile as a **third positional argument** and the
browser passed two. So every profile silently became `None`,
`apply_profile` never ran, and not one locked value ever reached a
bundle — the whole client-profile feature was inert in anything built
from this branch.
Nothing on either side complained, and could not: a missing positional at
an FFI boundary arrives as `undefined`, `undefined` deserializes to
`Option::None`, and `None` is a valid profile meaning "no profile". Both
halves were behaving correctly and the feature did nothing.
The profile now travels inside the options object. A named field can be
absent, but it cannot be *shifted out of position* by a caller passing the
wrong number of arguments, which is the failure that happened here.
`Profile::required_paths` comes with it: enforcing required fields is
`check_required`'s job in Rust, but a form has to be able to mark them,
and a required field with no asterisk is a form somebody fills in twice.
447 election_config tests pass.

`profile_from`'s signature and one closure, laid out the way rustfmt
wants. Surfaced by **beyond's** Rust lint rather than step's: that job
checks out step alongside and formats both, so an unformatted step file
reddens a beyond PR.

Consider making the policy re-export surface consistent.

Line 112 re-exports Policies under the different name ContestPolicies, so the same type is reachable as election_config::ContestPolicies and as election_config::policy::Policies. The rest of the policy contract — Behaviour, Overrides, Tally, TallyPatch and the policy enums — is not re-exported, so callers must use the module path for those anyway. Either re-export the whole contract under its own names, or drop the alias and let callers use policy::.

Extend the template-agreement test to the tally defaults.

The test iterates Policies::default().columns() only. Tally carries voting_type, counting_algorithm, min_votes and is_encrypted, and its doc comment states that contest.hbs supplies non-preferential and plurality-at-large. Those defaults are a second copy of the same values and nothing compares them. Iterate Behaviour::default().columns() instead, and read the non-presentation. columns from the top level of the template object.

Add a test for a required path that reaches nothing.

check_required has two triggers: targets.is_empty() and any target being unset. requiring_a_list_that_is_empty_is_an_error uses contacts, which resolves to one target holding an empty array, so it exercises the unset branch. requiring_something_of_every_contest_checks_every_contest uses a plan that has contests. Nothing exercises targets.is_empty().

Add a case with a required path such as elections[].contests[].description against a plan with no elections, and assert that one problem is reported.

Keep policy and tally field declarations in sync from one source.

This PR duplicates field lists across Tally, TallyPatch, Tally::apply, Tally::columns, TallyPatch::is_empty, the profile-generated PolicyPatch, and the policy catalog test. Adding a policy or tally field can therefore silently omit it from one path or cause valid profile inputs to be rejected. Generate these structures from a shared declaration, or add checks that compare their serialized key sets and have the catalog test use the declared field list.

Make Blueprint::default() carry the current version.

The derived Default sets version to 0. validate_plan only rejects a version greater than BLUEPRINT_VERSION, so a plan built from Blueprint::default() passes validation and is written to blueprint.json with "version": 0. migrate_v1 acts only on version 1, so re-reading that file leaves the wrong version in place. Every fixture in architect_tests.rs and profile_tests.rs already sets version: BLUEPRINT_VERSION by hand, which shows the derived value is not the one wanted.

Write Default by hand for Blueprint and set version: BLUEPRINT_VERSION.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the problems already collected when a step fails.

Line 1298 returns the build report on error and discards report. At that point report holds the plan warnings, the profile warnings and the required-field results. The same applies to the to_workbook error path at line 1292, which builds a fresh Report holding one problem. A caller that sees a build failure therefore loses everything the earlier passes said.

Merge the accumulated report into the returned one.

Model voting_type and counting_algorithm as enums.

Both fields hold a fixed set of platform values. The doc comments name those sets: IVotingType for voting_type, and super::validate::COUNTING_ALGORITHMS for counting_algorithm. As String, an invalid or misspelled value is only caught later by validate, and TallyPatch can carry any text into a bundle. This also contradicts the module doc, which states that the plan must carry exactly the values the platform accepts.

Declare both as enums with Display and FromStr, in the same way policy_value! declares the presentation policies. If the free-form form must stay for compatibility, keep the string field but validate it at parse time and define the literals as named constants instead of repeating them in non_preferential() and plurality().

As per coding guidelines: "Use Rust enums with Display and FromStr rather than string constants when representing fixed sets of values."

The test name and the comment contradict the body.

Line 190 says "Constructed directly, since Profile::read now refuses this shape". The body does not construct a Profile directly. It calls profile_of, and it supplies a default for trustee_threshold. The test name says the lock has no default, but the profile has one.

What this test actually asserts is that a locked default overwrites a hand-edited value — which is the same assertion as a_locked_value_survives_a_plan_that_disagrees on lines 210-224.

Delete the stale comment and rename the test to describe what it checks, or remove it as a duplicate of the test below it.

Profile::warnings can never hold anything.

Every report.push in Profile::read uses Problem::error. Line 307 returns Err when the report has any error. The report moved into warnings on line 314 is therefore always empty. compile_plan in packages/sequent-core/src/election_config/architect.rs lines 1282-1285 iterates profile.warnings.problems and can never add anything. The doc on lines 206-209 describes behavior that does not exist.

Note that the check on lines 288-305 is a candidate for a warning rather than an error only if a lock without a default is ever acceptable; the comment argues it is not, so keeping it as an error is right.

Choose one: emit real Problem::warning values for the conditions that deserve them, or remove the warnings field, the doc claim and the loop in compile_plan.

As per coding guidelines: "Remove dead code, commented-out code, unused imports, and stale comments".

Line 133 tells clients to call checkBundle(case.bundle). FixtureCase.bundle is unknown at Line 78, but checkBundle accepts a string at Line 117. TypeScript clients cannot call the documented API.

`--slug` reached `bundle.slug` unchanged and `out.join(&bundle.slug)` is the directory
the builder **removes** before writing it. `Path::join` replaces the base when handed
an absolute path and honours `..`, so `--slug /etc`, `--slug ..` and `--slug ""` each
pointed `remove_dir_all` somewhere the caller never named.
`one_name` refuses anything that is not a single path component — empty, `.`, `..`, a
separator, an absolute path — and it runs before the removal. The artifact names and
the archive name go through it too: they are generated, but a generated name with a
separator in it would still write outside the directory, and the tenant id is
interpolated into one of them.
Two tests, listing what must be refused and what must still be allowed.

`Profile::warnings` was documented as "what is odd about this profile without being
wrong with it", folded into the report by `compile_plan`. Every push in
`Profile::read` is a `Problem::error` and the function returns `Err` if the report
holds any error — so the field was always empty, the fold could never fold anything,
and the doc described behaviour that did not exist.
Removed rather than filled in: the one condition that might arguably be a warning —
a locked path with no default — is correctly an error, because it enforces nothing.
If a warning-worthy condition turns up, the field comes back with something in it.
Gone from the browser's mirror in `wasm.rs` too. Nothing reads it: the wizard's own
`ReadProfile` interface declares `id`, `display_name`, `hidden`, `locked`, `required`
and never had `warnings`.

`contest.hbs` carries `min_votes`, `max_votes`, `winning_candidates_num`,
`voting_type` and `counting_algorithm`, so those five are always present by the
time `validate` looks and its `MissingField` rule for them cannot fire. A workbook
that omits `max_votes` gets "choose one" and nothing says so.
Removing the template values is not the fix: `contests_sheet` did not write two of
them at all, so an Architect plan would stop building, and janitor's workbooks —
which #2983 matches byte for byte — rely on the rest. Which columns become
mandatory is a product call for the ticket owner.
What does not need one is being told. `build_contests` warns per column, naming
the value that stood in, and `contests_sheet` now writes `voting_type` and
`counting_algorithm` itself: the wizard offers one voting method today, and a
workbook that says which one is a document somebody can read, which a template
default is not. Same values, so the built bundle is byte-for-byte what it was.
`contest.hbs` claimed validation rejects a contest missing any of the five. It
does not, and now says so.

…inst it (#2981)
Parent issue: sequentech/meta#12769
**1 of 4**, base `main`. Stacked above:
[#2982](#2982) →
[#2983](#2983) →
[#2988](#2988).
**The only one of the four that changes existing behaviour.** The rest
are additions.
## Why
Three tools built or checked an election-event import and shared no
code: windmill's importer, janitor's Python, the Election Architect's
TypeScript. Each had its own bundle schema, CSV byte shapes and
validation, and each got them slightly differently. Every defect found
while building janitor was one implementation disagreeing with the
platform.
## What changes
| | |
|---|---|
| **Moved** | `ImportElectionEventSchema` and the report types →
`sequent-core::election_config`. windmill re-exports both, so its ~10
call sites are untouched. `TryFrom<Row>` stays in windmill: it needs
`tokio_postgres`, which cannot compile to WASM. |
| **Reshaped** | `keycloak_event_realm` → opaque `serde_json::Value`;
`tenant_id` → `String` with a shape check in validation. The `keycloak`
crate would pull `reqwest`, `uuid` would pull `getrandom`. No field
loses anything, and the export path still runs `parse_uuid_v4`. |
| **New** | `election_config::validate` — pure checks returning
structured `Problem`s, each with a machine-readable code, a dotted path
and the entity's `external_id`. No database, no IO, no clock, because it
has to run in a browser. |
| **Wired** | windmill validates the bundle **as written**, before
`replace_ids` rewrites identifiers, and refuses the import on anything
fatal. The operator gets every problem at once, in the wording the
browser-side tools use. |
| **Example** | `validate_bundle` — the same call `step-cli` and the
browser make, for checking an export from a shell. |
## The part that deserves scrutiny
Wiring validation into the import path means **a bundle that used to
import can now be refused** — including the platform's own export,
re-imported for disaster recovery.
Four rules were fatal and should not have been: a contest with no
candidates, a contest not yet on any area's ballot, an area with no
contests assigned, and — reported since — an event with no areas at all.
An event still being configured legitimately looks like that; those
bundles are self-consistent and import into a working event. They just
mean nobody votes there yet.
| | |
|---|---|
| **Error** | Internally inconsistent, or the platform would reject or
corrupt it |
| **Warning** | Consistent, but the configuration looks unintended |
Authoring tools treat warnings as blocking through a strict mode rather
than by lying about severity here. Pinned from both sides by
`an_event_still_being_configured_can_be_re_imported` and
`an_inconsistent_bundle_is_still_refused`.
## Verified
- `sequent-core` — 219 passed at `keycloak,default_features`, in the
devcontainer
- `windmill` — 308 passed
- `cargo fmt --check`, `reuse lint` clean
- Against the generated SEIU1000 bundle: 0 errors, 1 warning — the
permission label that made every election invisible on that event's
first real import
## Reading it
Four commits, one thing each: report types moved in → bundle schema
moved out of windmill → the shared validation → windmill validating
before importing.
Then two from the review: the algorithm list and the preferential split
now come from `CountingAlgType` instead of being written out beside it,
negative vote counts are refused rather than passing every relational
check, and a report's permission label reports
`reports[].permission_label` instead of pointing at `elections`. Plus
the two boundaries that were untested — an event with no areas, and a
fatal bundle failing the import.
