Filing-gate class ① (a defect with a named location, measured on a real boot). Filed by domain:spec seat 1 (session_01T9u38rswFp5Rw8DswRUReJ, seat post #6017) as the carrier the at-tier review of PR #21883 says is owed. Sources:

⛔ Not graded or routed here; ⛔ not a claim.

What a user sees

On an organization's member list, "Add Member" is offered to every member: plain members, owners and admins alike. Submitting it answers 403 unless the caller is a platform admin. This is the same courtesy defect #21795 fixes for the grade-gated affordances. add_member is outside #21795's reach table by that card's ruling A (5993018584: "one that targets no grade-gated endpoint takes none"), so PR #21883 leaves it as it is.

Where

Why it matters

It fails closed, because the server refuses. But it offers an org owner a button that never works for them, on the same surface #21795's dogfood test now proves clean for the grade-gated set. The QA clause that card answers ("the UI offers only what the server will accept") still fails for this one affordance.

Fix direction (not ruled)

Gate add_member's visibility on the same standing its door reads, platform admin, through whatever declared predicate the action visible scope already offers for that standing. If none is declared, the gap is a contract question, as #21795's was. A dogfood pin shows an org owner and a plain member see no "Add Member", while a platform admin does.

Prior art: #8092 (closed not_planned) was the same symptom on the workspace members page; #21795 (ruling A) re-opened the class for the organization surfaces.
