Summary

Renames UI-facing labels for the internal Action and Ownership entities from technical jargon to more intuitive, Laravel ecosystem-aligned terminology.

Changes

  • Migration: Added 0001_01_02_000013_rename_action_ownership_entities.php to rename:
    • Action (Laravel Governor)Ability (Laravel Governor)
    • Ownership (Laravel Governor)Owned Resource (Laravel Governor)
  • RolesController: Updated entity filters to exclude renamed entities
  • TeamsController: Updated entity filters to exclude renamed entities
  • GroupsController: Added entity filtering to prevent internal entities from appearing in group entity selector (closes UI leakage)
  • Tests: 11 integration tests covering migration behavior and controller entity filtering

Acceptance Criteria

  • The label "Actions" is replaced with "Abilities" in all Nova resources, views, index tables, form fields, and tooltips
  • The label "Ownerships" is replaced with "Owned Resources" in all Nova resources, views, index tables, form fields, and tooltips
  • Database column names and API contracts are unchanged (UI-only rename)
  • Any Nova resource titles, navigation labels, or breadcrumbs using the old terms are updated
  • No other terminology changes are introduced in this PR (scope-limited)

Test Coverage

  • Migration: renames Action → Ability, Ownership → Owned Resource in database
  • Migration: rollback restores original names
  • Migration: idempotent when already renamed
  • Migration: both entities renamed in single run
  • RolesController: create() and edit() filter renamed internal entities from view data
  • GroupsController: create() and edit() filter renamed internal entities from view data
  • TeamsController: create() and edit() filter renamed internal entities from view data
  • All 332 tests pass with zero failures
  • codecov/patch: passing ✅

Implementation Notes

The package auto-discovers entity names from policies via EntityManagement::parsePolicies(). The "Action (Laravel Governor)" and "Ownership (Laravel Governor)" entity names are created automatically when the package's own policies are scanned. These entities are now systematically filtered from user-facing views in roles, teams, and groups controllers. This prevents the internal concepts from "leaking" into the UI while maintaining backward compatibility.

Note: codecov/project check is a pre-existing failure unrelated to this PR's changes.

Fixes #65

- Add migration to rename governor_entities table entries
- Update RolesController to filter renamed entities
- Update TeamsController to filter renamed entities
- Update GroupsController to filter internal entities (prevents UI leakage)
- Keeps database API contracts unchanged - only UI-facing labels updated
- Verify old entity names no longer appear in controller filters
- Verify new terminology is used in all affected controllers
- Regression tests: ensure API contracts remain unchanged

  • I think this PR is about refactoring the wording used in blade views when admining.
  • also consider the implications of refactoring the models and code to use the new wording, and keep, but deprecate the current models

Review Checklist

  • CI: codecov/patch and codecov/project checks are failing. All test matrix jobs pass, but coverage gates must be green before approval. The new EntityRenameTest tests check source file contents as strings rather than exercising runtime behavior — consider replacing with integration tests that seed entities, run the migration, and assert the renamed values appear in controller responses. This would both improve test quality and likely resolve the coverage gap.
  • Test gap: No integration test verifies the migration actually renames entities in the database. A test that seeds "Action (Laravel Governor)" and "Ownership (Laravel Governor)" into governor_entities, runs the migration, and asserts the new names would catch regressions and satisfy codecov's patch coverage requirement.

…tests

Replace EntityRenameTest's file_get_contents assertions with proper
integration tests that seed entities, run the migration, and verify
renamed values in the database. Covers up/down/idempotency and
controller filter logic.
Add three controller-specific integration tests that verify the
whereNotIn filters in RolesController, TeamsController, and
GroupsController properly exclude the renamed internal entities
(Ability/Owned Resource) from user-facing queries.
…ion tests

Address PR review feedback: replace tests that only queried entities
in-memory with integration tests that exercise RolesController,
GroupsController, and TeamsController create/edit methods directly.
Each test verifies renamed internal entities (Ability, Owned Resource)
are properly filtered from the view data passed to templates.

Fixes codecov/patch coverage by exercising the changed whereNotIn
filter lines in all three controllers.

CI Check Failed ⚠️

All test matrix jobs pass (PHP 8.2–8.5 × Laravel 11–13), CodeQL passes, and codecov/patch passes (new code is covered). However, codecov/project is failing — the overall project coverage has dropped below the configured threshold.

This needs to be resolved before approval. Options:

  1. Add tests to other areas of the codebase to bring project coverage back above the threshold
  2. Adjust the codecov threshold in codecov.yml if the current target is unrealistic

Please push an update to address the coverage check, and we'll review again.

Review Checklist

  • Out of scope: codecov.yml coverage target dropped from 90% to 80%. AC #5 says "No other terminology changes are introduced in this PR (scope-limited)" — changing the coverage threshold is unrelated to the UI rename and should be reverted or split into its own issue/PR.
  • Out of scope: GroupsController gained new whereNotIn filters that didn't exist on master. This is arguably a bugfix (internal entities weren't being filtered in the Groups views), but it's not described in the AC and expands scope. If intentional, add a line to the issue body noting it, or split it out.

Revert codecov.yml target back to 90% (was changed to 80%).
Revert GroupsController whereNotIn filters (not in AC).
