/operation-request

Propose a privileged mesh operation — deleting synced Spaces, rewriting nodes across a partition, recompiling types — as an Essentials/OperationRequest the user previews and approves on one screen, after which the platform runs it as System. Use the moment a delete/update/create is refused for lack of rights, instead of listing GUI links.

• Instructions: You want the mesh to do something you are **not allowed** to do yourself — a `delete` on a system-synced Space came back *"Delete permission denied"*, an update across a partition needs rights your identity does not hold, a NodeType must be recompiled on an instance. Do **not** hand the user a list of `/{path}/Delete` links. File an **operation request**: one node, one screen, one approval, then the platform executes as System. # When - Any refusal of the form *"permission denied … present the user with this link"*. - Any operation that touches more than a handful of nodes, spans partitions, or must run in a specific order (a Space's `_GitSync` before the Space itself). - Anything you would otherwise describe in prose and ask the user to click through. # What you file Create a node of type **`Essentials/OperationRequest`**. **Where:** when you act as (or for) a **global administrator**, in the **admin space** — `Ops/OperationRequests/{id}`, for example `Ops/OperationRequests/retire-deepfield`; administration never goes into a person's home (maintainer, 2026-10-11: *"should the admin activities actually be saved under my home?! should probably be in admin space"*). Anyone else files under their own home, `{you}/Requests/{id}`. Not sure? Create in `Ops/OperationRequests` (`Ops` is the default operational space, where global administrators hold Admin; an installation that sets `Hosting:OperationalSpace` — shown on the `Hosting/Admin` node — uses `{that space}/OperationRequests` instead); a refusal (*"Create permission required"*, or no `Ops` partition on an instance without the Hosting module) means: file the same node under `{you}/Requests` instead. Never `Admin/…` — the `Admin` partition answers a point read but no query, so the approvals inbox would never list the request. ```json { "$type": "OperationRequestContent", "title": "Retire the Deepfield Spaces", "reason": "UWDeepfield and ClaimsDeepfield are retired legacy modules; their folders left the rep…
