+# Allow private table-file byte transports
+
+CMS WO-TF-009 adds administrator file management through generated ConnectRPC
+hooks. Binary upload, content download and bounded preview streams use the
+private HTTP serving boundary because unary metadata hooks cannot express
+resumable chunks, download bodies or preview derivatives.
+
+Allow exactly three literal fetch targets in `lib/table-file-transport.ts`:
+`/api/table-file-uploads/${sessionId}`,
+`/api/table-files/${attachmentId}/content?version=${versionId}` and
+`/api/table-files/${attachmentId}/preview?version=${versionId}`. Preserve ADR 0002's
+file-and-target matching. Admission, status, cancellation, finalization and
+lifecycle controls remain generated RPC calls.
+
+An entire-file exception or route-prefix allowance was rejected because either
+would permit unrelated future controls to bypass generated hooks. Ordinary
+media routes were rejected because table files have separate authority.
+
+Consequences:
+
+- `frontend.go` documents each exact target's binary transport reason.
+- Moving the bridge or changing a target requires another reviewed allowance.
+- Existing narrow-allowance tests cover sibling routes and other callers; the
+  complete checker test suite passes.
+- These allowances change no runtime authority or admission gate.
