This chapter outlines the controllers needed to implement the MÜSLI integration into MaMpf. Controllers are organized by functional area and follow Rails conventions with namespacing.
We do not expose a public API. "Primary caller" refers to who invokes
the controller actions inside MaMpf: HTML forms (Turbo), background
jobs, or teacher/editor UIs. Use these sections to wire views, jobs, and
service objects to the right endpoints.
Namespace Key controllers Primary caller
Registration Campaigns, UserRegistrations, Policies, Allocation Teacher/Editor UI, Student UI, Job Roster Maintenance Teacher/Editor UI Assessment Assessments, Grading, Participations, GradeSchemes Teacher/Editor UI, Tutor UI StudentPerformance Records, Certifications, Evaluator Teacher/Editor UI Exam Exams Teacher/Editor UI Dashboard Dashboard, Admin::Dashboard Student UI, Teacher/Editor UI
Controllers are grouped into the following namespaces:
Registration: Campaign setup, student registration, allocation
Roster: Post-allocation roster maintenance
Assessment: Assessment setup, grading, result viewing, grade scheme configuration
StudentPerformance: Performance records, teacher certification, evaluator proposals
Exam: Exam management
Dashboard: Student and teacher/editor views
Controllers render HTML plus Hotwire responses:
Turbo Frames for partial page replacement within a frame.
Turbo Streams for broadcasting or incremental updates.
Prefer frames for scoped, request/response UI flows; prefer streams for
updates triggered by background jobs or actions affecting multiple parts
of the page.
Manage registration campaigns for lectures.

Pre-flight checks: Before opening campaigns with student_performance policies:

All controllers follow Rails conventions:
Use standard REST actions where possible.
Nest resources appropriately (lectures/:id/campaigns).
Use member vs collection routes correctly.
Render HTML and Hotwire responses (Turbo Frames/Streams); no public JSON API.
Controllers integrate with CanCanCan abilities:
load_and_authorize_resource for standard CRUD.Custom checks for special actions (allocation, grading).
Role-based access (student, tutor, teacher, editor, admin).
Controllers should handle:
ActiveRecord validation errors (display form errors).
Authorization failures (redirect with flash message).
Background job failures (show status and retry option).
Constraint violations (e.g., deleting campaign with registrations).
