@@ -345,3 +388,30 @@ The admin SPA shows the declared actions in a "Bulk actions" menu next to the se
 - `pact.AdminBulkActionResult` carries an optional `Message` (a phrase key or text) and `Affected`, the number of records the action changed. The answer is a `cabana.BulkActionResult`.
 
 Bulk actions have their own namespace next to the toolbar and widget actions: a name is unique among the controller's bulk actions, and `create` and `delete` stay reserved. `bulkActions` needs `showCheckboxes: true`. A name the controller does not register, a duplicate, or an action without a label stops the start-up. The built-in bulk delete is not a declared action and keeps its own route and toolbar button.
+
+## Record actions
+
+A record action runs on one record, as a button on its screen: activating an account, lifting a ban. The controller registers its record actions through `pact.HasAdminRecordActions` (`PeopleController` above registers two), and `recordActions` in `config_form.yaml` lists the ones the form offers, in display order:
+
+```yaml src=modules/cabana/testdata/roster/controllers/people/config_form.yaml
+name: acme.roster::lang.people.form
+form: ~/plugins/acme/roster/models/person/fields.yaml
+modelClass: Person
+defaultRedirect: acme/roster/people
+create:
+    redirect: acme/roster/people/update/:id
+    redirectClose: acme/roster/people
+update:
+    redirect: acme/roster/people
+    redirectClose: acme/roster/people
+recordActions: [activate, reinstate]
+```
+
+Each `pact.AdminRecordAction` has a `Name`, a `Label`, an optional `Confirm` text, its own `Permissions`, an optional `Applies` function and `Run`:
+
+- `Applies` reports whether the action fits the record's current state; without one the action always applies. It must only read, because it runs in two places: when a record is shown, to decide which actions to offer, and again inside the action's transaction, right before `Run`.
+- The show response (`GET /{controller}/{id}`) lists the offered actions in `meta.actions` as `cabana.RecordAction` entries: only those the administrator may run and that apply to the record. The key is absent when none is offered, and create and update responses never carry it.
+- `POST /{controller}/{id}/actions/{action}` takes an empty `{}` body. cabana loads the record through `pact.FormExtendQuery` with a row lock in one transaction and hands it to `Run` in `pact.AdminRecordActionInput`. A missing record and a record outside the scope are the same 404; an action whose `Applies` reports false answers 409 `conflict`; an administrator without the action's permissions gets 403.
+- `Run` writes through `cabana.TxFromContext(ctx)` and returns a `pact.AdminRecordActionResult` with an optional `Message`. Any error rolls the transaction back.
+
+Record actions have their own namespace: a record action and a bulk action may share a name, such as `activate` here. `create` and `delete` are reserved. A name in `recordActions` that the controller does not register, a duplicate, or an action without a label stops the start-up.

 - Controller assets: a controller implementing `pact.AdminClientAssets` names JS (`.js`, `.mjs`) and CSS files under its plugin's `assets/` directory, Winter's `addJs`/`addCss`. They are read from the plugin's embedded tree at boot (a missing file fails boot; there is no disk override) and listed in the list and form schemas under `assets` as same-origin URLs with a `?v=` content hash. A form with a widget needs at least one JS file.
 - Toolbar actions: `toolbar.buttons` in `config_list.yaml` lists the built-in `create` and `delete` next to names the controller registers through `pact.HasAdminActions`. Registered actions share one namespace with widget actions, `create` and `delete` are reserved, and each toolbar action needs a label. The list schema's `toolbarActions` carries only the actions the requesting administrator may run, with localized labels; an unknown name fails boot.
 - Bulk actions: `bulkActions` in `config_list.yaml` lists names the controller registers through `pact.HasAdminBulkActions`; it needs `showCheckboxes: true`. Bulk actions have their own namespace (`create` and `delete` are reserved there too), and each needs a label. The posted ids are resolved and row-locked through `pact.ListExtendQuery` in one transaction and the action receives the loaded records, never ids: a selection that matches nothing answers `affected: 0` without running the action, and a partial match answers 409 and rolls back. The list schema's `bulkActions` carries the built-in `delete` and only the declared actions the requesting administrator may run, with localized `label` and `confirm`; an unknown or duplicate name fails boot. Each run is logged with the controller, action, administrator and affected count.
+- Record actions: `recordActions` in `config_form.yaml` lists names the controller registers through `pact.HasAdminRecordActions`, a third action namespace with the same reserved names. The show response's `meta.actions` (`cabana.RecordAction` entries with localized `label` and `confirm`) carries only the declared actions the requesting administrator may run and whose `Applies` reports true for the record; the key is absent when none is offered, and create and update responses never carry it. The action route loads the record through `pact.FormExtendQuery` with a row lock in one transaction (one 404 for a missing and an out-of-scope id), checks `Applies` again (409 when it reports false) and then runs the action. An unknown or duplicate name, or an action without a label, fails boot. Each run is logged with the controller, action, administrator and record id.
 - Server-rendered partials: `headerPartial: <name>` in `config_list.yaml` (a strip above the list) and `type: partial` with `path: <name>` in `fields.yaml` render the template `{ConfigDir}/_<name>.htm` with `html/template` against a view model from the controller's `pact.AdminPartialData`. The result reaches the SPA as an allowlisted node tree, never as an HTML string. A missing or unparsable template, a free-form path or a controller without `pact.AdminPartialData` fails boot.
 - Date pickers: a `type: datepicker` field in `fields.yaml` edits a date (`mode: date`, a `lagoon.Date` column), a date and time (`mode: datetime`, the default, a `time.Time` column stored in UTC) or a time of day (`mode: time`, a `lagoon.TimeOfDay` column); pointers to the three types make the value optional. It accepts WinterCMS's `mode`, `format` (a PHP `date()` format, served also as `displayFormat` in the SPA's tokens), `minDate`, `maxDate`, `yearRange`, `firstDay`, `twelveHour` and `ignoreTimezone`; any other key, a format letter with no equivalent, bounds on `mode: time`, `ignoreTimezone` outside `mode: datetime` or a column whose Go type does not match the mode fails boot. The save rechecks `minDate` and `maxDate` on the calendar date and answers 422 on the field. List columns take `type: date` and `type: time` for these columns; when `type` is omitted, a `time.Time` column is compiled as `datetime`, a `lagoon.Date` column as `date` and a `lagoon.TimeOfDay` column as `time`. A struct column that implements `sql.Scanner` or `driver.Valuer` is never taken for a relation.
 - File uploads: a `type: fileupload` field in `fields.yaml` edits an attachOne or attachMany relation the record model declares through `attach.HasRelations` (its `AttachRelations` method) next to `attach.Owner`. The field accepts WinterCMS's `mode` (`image` or `file`), `fileTypes`, `mimeTypes`, `maxFilesize` (megabytes), `maxFiles` (attachMany only), `imageWidth`, `imageHeight`, `thumbOptions` (only `mode`: `auto`, `exact`, `crop` or `fit`), `useCaption` and `prompt`; any other key, an image-mode file type outside jpg, jpeg, png, gif and webp, a name that is not a declared relation or a `maxFilesize` whose file plus 64 KiB of multipart framing exceeds `http.body_limits.upload_bytes` fails boot. Uploads and removals are deferred, as in WinterCMS: the SPA sends a random form session key in the `X-Session-Key` header (`cabana.SessionKeyHeader`) with every file call and with the save, the server keeps the pending work in `deferred_bindings` against that key and the signed-in administrator, and the record's next create or update save applies it inside its transaction. A retry of the same upload may send `X-Upload-Id` so the server returns the already stored file. A save that fails with 422 keeps the pending uploads; another administrator's key matches nothing. The upload route caps the request body at the smaller of `http.body_limits.upload_bytes` and `maxFilesize` plus 64 KiB and answers 413 `payload_too_large` past it; the size, type and image checks run on the server (through `attach.Store`) and answer 422 on the field. A file list (`cabana.FileItem`) carries `url` and `thumb_url` only for a public relation.
