The Ranks & Roles "Operational Permission Matrix" previously waited ~400ms and
showed a "Saved" state without persisting anything. No Firestore document, API
route, or security rule stores or enforces a per-rank capability matrix; club
authorization is role-based (Owner/Admin via getPortalPermissions). Persisting
the matrix would require frozen security-rule changes and would create an
unenforced permission model that misleads owners.
Make the control truthful instead of faking success:
- Render the matrix as a read-only reference of the standard governance model
by default (persistenceAvailable=false): no Save/Reset controls, disabled
toggles, a "View-only reference" indicator, and a notice stating that access
is enforced by Owner/Admin roles and per-rank customization is planned.
- Remove the fake setTimeout save handler and the unconditional success state.
- Retain a forward-compatible editable path behind persistenceAvailable for
when a backend contract ships.
- Document the precise backend contract required to enable persistence.
Tests: read-only matrix renders no Save control, reports no save, and does not
mutate permissions even for Owner/Admin; editable path still fires toggle/save
/reset when persistenceAvailable=true.
