docs: translate the three plans
The roadmap links straight into these files, so a reader following an item
landed in Russian one click after an English page. Translated in full; goals,
boundaries, done-when criteria and risks are unchanged in substance.

The model assigned to inbound-relay is dropped, as it was from the roadmap
item: model routing lives in development.md.

Figures and code references were checked against the tree while translating
rather than copied forward — internal/web is still 50 files, 25 .go, ~4300
lines, and requireAuth(authed) and sendLogData are still where domain-admin.md
says they are.

# Plan: domain-admin (domain administrator role)
**Status:** agreed
**Version:** target bump **1.x** MINOR, given a compatible migration of the
current administrator into a global one.
**Order:** recommended after [web-split](web-split.md), before
[inbound-relay](inbound-relay.md).
---
## What this is
Today the panel has exactly one subject: `requireAuth` is a boolean gate, not a
role ([web.go](../../internal/web/web.go) — the
`mux.Handle("/", s.requireAuth(authed))` wrapper), and the session carries
nothing beyond the fact of being signed in.
The role grants access to **explicitly assigned domains** (one or several); the
list of domains is set by the **global administrator**. For each domain on that
list:
- that domain's applications (creation, sender mode, password regeneration,
deletion, its own L2 limit);
- the domain's DKIM/DNS status;
- the send log filtered to the domain — the filter already exists in the log
([sendLogData](../../internal/web/handlers_monitor.go)).
What stays outside the role is what is global by nature:
- adding and removing domains;
- creating domain-admin users and assigning domains to them;
- `/reload`;
- the full backup (that is all of `/data` including `sasldb2`, i.e. every
domain at once);
- the queue and the `mail.log` tail — those are server-wide and not tied to a
domain.
## Why this extends v1.0
[product.md](../product.md) puts "multiple panel users, roles" out of scope
(one administrator). A second subject is a deliberate widening of the project's
boundary, as inbound-relay is.
The cost is phase-sized, not patch-sized:
- a users table and their binding to domains;
- the role in the session;
- authorisation in every handler (not only on the route — today `{id}`/`{aid}`
are checked for nothing beyond existence);
- reworking first-run setup and password change for several users;
- accounting for the new subject in backup and domain export.
*(The earlier wording of this item — "2FA and multiple administrators" — has
been replaced: 2FA is off the table, and "multiple administrators" is narrowed
to one specific role, because what is needed is not a second all-powerful admin
but limited access for the owner of one or several domains, with the list set
by the global administrator.)*
## Done when
- A global administrator and a domain-admin with different rights both work
through the panel; the domain-admin cannot reach past the **assigned**
domains;
- the current single admin migrates into a global one without losing access;
- backup/restore accounts for users and their bindings;
- `build`/`vet`/`test`/image green.
## Risks
- An incomplete `{id}`/`{aid}` check in a handler — access leaking to someone
else's domain;
- breaking setup or backup — that would be a semver major, not 1.x.
