 **Authorization layer.** A NestJS `AuthGuard` checks for a valid session and rejects with 401 otherwise. A `@CurrentUser()` decorator extracts `{ id, audience, claims }` from the request scope. Every controller (other than `/auth/*` itself, `/health`, etc.) is protected by `AuthGuard` by default — the framework default is "denied", explicit allow-listing is required.
 
+**Curated public view.** The `/auth/me` payload exposes a deliberately narrow projection of the session: `oid`, `tid`, `username`, `displayName`. **The raw `roles` claim is _not_ part of `/auth/me`** — it stays server-side, consumed by the BFF's own guards (`@RequireAdmin`, downstream-API gates, etc.). The SPA derives binary UX hints from a dedicated companion endpoint, `GET /me/capabilities`, which returns a curated structure (today `{ canAccessAdmin: boolean }`; further keys land as conditional UI requires). The shape is intentional: the SPA can never reconstruct the raw role names from the curated view, so introducing additional internal-only roles (auditor, redactor, …) does not widen the SPA-side surface. The authoritative gate remains BFF-side via `@RequireAdmin` & co.; capabilities is UX-only. The admin-portal `/api/admin/auth/me` exposes `roles` explicitly because it _is_ the admin surface — see ADR-0020.
+
 **Configuration.** All Entra-specific values come from environment variables — no tenant ID, client ID, or secret in source. The BFF refuses to start if any required variable is missing.
