The data-quality workbench (list, detail, defer, reject) and the audit trail
had no role gate at all beyond authentication -- confirmed live, a Rental
Employee session could list and resolve data-quality issues and read the
full audit trail through both the API and the UI, with only merge-customers
and scan already restricted.
Per the role matrix, both areas are Operations-Manager-only. Gate the
remaining data-quality and audit endpoints with require_operations_manager,
hide their nav items for Rental Employee, show the same restricted-message
pattern Automation.tsx already used for direct URL access, and stop the
dashboard from linking into now-restricted areas for that role.
Five rule scanners (duplicate customers, missing fields, odometer regression, booking overlap, status conflict) run automatically after seed and via an explicit scan endpoint. Issue defer/reject/merge-customers endpoints with transactional customer merge (booking rewiring, tombstone, audit). Data Quality nav + workbench UI with two-column duplicate comparison and inline (non-native) confirm. Dashboard attention items now link to issues. 35 backend tests passing, ruff clean. Fixed a real false-positive bug in odometer-regression detection found through iteration on seed data, and two TS narrowing errors. Verified end-to-end via browser: S2 merge and S4 overlap scenarios.
