A custom non-Super Admin role granted only admin.settings.view.billing is classified as a Super Admin by the client. The executed comparison showed that adding only this permission changes isSuperAdmin from false to true, enables equal-authority role modification and assignment of another staff member, and reveals the billing, server-config, and migration settings sections. Billing access is independently grantable; derive Super Admin status from an authoritative role or identity signal instead of this permission.

Artifacts
Focused Super Admin billing permission validation script
- Authored Vite and React validation script that runs the real permission hook against identical custom-role scenarios; it directly exercises the claimed derivation and UI gate helpers.
Custom Billing Operator without billing permission
- Executed baseline run for the custom non-Super Admin role without the billing permission; it shows all tested Super Admin behavior remains denied.
Custom Billing Operator with billing permission
- Executed comparison run for the same custom non-Super Admin role with only the billing permission; it shows false Super Admin classification and elevated client UI behavior.

**Billing permission impersonates Super Admin**
A custom non-Super Admin role granted only `admin.settings.view.billing` is classified as a Super Admin by the client. The executed comparison showed that adding only this permission changes `isSuperAdmin` from false to true, enables equal-authority role modification and assignment of another staff member, and reveals the billing, server-config, and migration settings sections. Billing access is independently grantable; derive Super Admin status from an authoritative role or identity signal instead of this permission.

The permissions endpoint returns stored role grants, while the backend authorizes child permissions from a parent grant. A role holding only admin.settings.view is therefore authorized by the backend for admin.settings.view.storage, but this exact-membership check returns false and hides the Usage settings subcategory. Apply the same delimiter-safe parent-to-child permission implication used by the backend, or return expanded effective permissions from the endpoint.

Artifacts
Focused parent-to-child permission validation script
- Authored validation script reads the frontend and backend contracts and executes the parent-grant versus child-gate scenario, proving the divergent result.
Successful parent-grant permission validation output
- Executed Node validation output shows the backend authorizes storage while the client denies it and hides the Usage subcategory, verifying the bug.
Focused backend hierarchy test attempt blocked by missing Java
- Attempted focused backend JUnit hierarchy test could not start because this environment has neither JAVA_HOME nor a java executable; the source-contract script supplied the completed runtime proof.
Repository status after validation
- Executed Git status confirms the only untracked content is the required trex-artifacts validation evidence, with no source modification.

Confidence Score: 3/5
Not safe to merge until Super Admin identity is separated from billing access and client permission inheritance matches the backend contract.
Focused executable checks reproduced both permission failures using the real client hook and the related backend permission contract. The findings are independent: one hides authorized child settings, while the other grants Super Admin-only client behavior to a non-Super Admin role.
Files Needing Attention: client/src/hooks/use-permissions.tsx needs the Super Admin predicate and hierarchical permission matching corrected. client/src/lib/permissions.ts should also be reviewed because the billing permission is currently designated as the Super Admin-exclusive permission.
