#573 Separate The Apply Positions Page From The Manage Positions Page

[b-at-neu]

Closes #573

Summary

• /positions is now purely the applicant browse page — every viewer, signed in or not, sees the same Open / Recently Closed list, and a signed-in viewer's own applications now mark the relevant cards (draft/withdrawn/applied badge + matching CTA).
• The reviewer's workbench moves to a new /my-positions: the create action, the active/archived partition, and per-position application stats. Admins get a flat "All Positions" list including drafts.
• nav-items.ts gains a myPositionsNavItem under Manage; Positions stays under Apply for managers/admins too, so they can still browse and apply like any other user.
• docs/WORKFLOWS.md (AN-1, AN-2, PM-2, AD-1, the PM/AD persona intros, PM-3's trigger) is updated to match, and a new AP-17 documents the applied marker.

Changes

• app/(main)/(auth)/my-positions/page.tsx, loading.tsx — new; the reviewer view, gated by requireManagerOrAdminOr404, with the admin flat-list branch and the manager managed-list branch moved off /positions.
• app/(main)/positions/page.tsx — stripped to browse-only: getOpenPositions() + getRecentlyClosedPositions() + the viewer's applied-application map (getMyApplicationsByPosition); no admin branch, no managed-position filtering.
• app/(main)/positions/[id]/page.tsx — back link goes to /my-positions when the viewer can manage the position, /positions otherwise.
• components/features/position-card.tsx — new optional myApplication prop driving an ApplicationStatusBadge and the applicant CTA (Continue application / Edit & resubmit / View application).
• components/features/managed-positions-section.tsx — heading is now "Active" (it sits under an H1 that already says "My Positions").
• components/features/managed-positions-widget.tsx, open-positions-summary.tsx — "See all" / "Manage positions" links → /my-positions; the admin widget's position title now links to the position detail page.
• components/features/position-danger-zone.tsx — post-delete redirect → /my-positions.
• components/layouts/nav-items.ts, use-nav-items.ts — new myPositionsNavItem; managers/admins now see Positions under Apply and My Positions under Manage.
• prisma/data/applications.ts — new getMyApplicationsByPosition(userId).
• lib/types.ts — new MyPositionApplication.
• prisma/actions/position-actions.ts — /my-positions added alongside every existing /positions revalidation.
• prisma/actions/applications.ts — createDraftApplication and deleteDraftApplication now also revalidate /positions so the applied marker can't go stale.
• docs/WORKFLOWS.md — AN-1, AN-2, PM-2, AD-1, PM-3's trigger, and the PM/AD persona intros rewritten; new AP-17; TOC updated.
• tests/db/authorization.test.ts — caller-scoping test for getMyApplicationsByPosition.

Testing plan

• Signed out, visit /positions: Open Positions and (if any) Recently Closed render, cards show View Details + Apply, and Apply routes through /login?redirectTo=….
• Signed out, visit /my-positions: 404.
• As a plain applicant, visit /my-positions: 404. Sidebar shows Positions and My Applications, no Manage group.
• As an applicant, start a draft on an open position, reload /positions: card shows Draft badge + Continue application; delete the draft and the badge/button disappear without a manual refresh.
• Submit that application, reload /positions: Applied badge, View application goes to your /my-applications/[id], no Apply button. Withdraw it → Withdrawn badge + Edit & resubmit while still accepting.
• As a manager, sidebar shows Positions under Apply and My Positions under Manage; both reachable with correct active state.
• As a manager on /my-positions: only your positions, "Active" first with stats, "Archived (N)" collapsed if applicable, New position in the header. Create a position → appears here after redirect, never on /positions while a draft.
• As a manager, /positions now lists the open positions you manage too, with the applicant card (no Edit button).
• Open /positions/[id] for a position you manage: back link reads "Back to my positions" → /my-positions. Open one you don't manage: "Back to positions" → /positions.
• As an admin on /my-positions: flat list including drafts, stats on every card, New position. Change a position's status in Edit and return — list reflects it immediately.
• As an admin, delete a position from /positions/[id]/edit → land on /my-positions, row is gone.
• Manager dashboard "My Positions → See all" and the admin dashboard's Open Positions links land on /my-positions; the admin widget's position titles open the position detail page.
• At 320px wide: both pages usable, the two badges wrap, sidebar collapses to the drawer with both nav items present.

Automated checks

• npm run prettier:check — pass
• npm run eslint:check — pass
• npm run tsc:check — pass
• npm run test:unit — 227 passed (Postgres unavailable in this environment, so tests/db/** — including the new getMyApplicationsByPosition case — could not be run locally; CI runs the full db project)

Notes

• Route name /my-positions mirrors the flat /my-applications / /applications pair already in the nav, per the plan's stated rationale.
• /positions/[id] does not split — it stays the single, shareable, generateMetadata'd URL for a position; only its back-link target is viewer-dependent.
• The applied marker lands on the list only; the detail page's "Apply now" CTA stays unconditional, and the apply page's existing "You've already applied" card remains the guard there — a deliberate follow-up, not an omission.
• No interaction with Design the Position Edit Policy #398's edit policy beyond location — checkPositionEditable / isPositionActive / ARCHIVED_POSITION_EDIT_ERROR are untouched.
