docs: role-gating two topologies (edge gate vs cookie-session SSR {from})

 - **Deploy-time validation.** Missing table or column at activation fails with `DEPLOY_INVALID_ROLE_GATE` (422) *before* flipping the live release.
 - **Cache TTL.** Default 60s, max 600s. A demoted user keeps the cached role until expiry — for instant revocation, set `cacheTtl: 0` (fresh lookup per request).
 - **Gate applies to both** routed (`/your/route`) and direct (`POST /functions/v1/:name` with API key) invocation. Direct invocation still requires the API key at the edge; the gate runs after API-key auth, against the user JWT.
-- **Reading the role (`@run402/functions` 3.4.0+).** `await auth.requireRole("operator")` returns `{ user, role }`; it throws a distinct `RoleGateNotConfiguredError` (500) when no `requireRole` gate is declared (vs `InsufficientRoleError` 403 for a real mismatch). For multi-role gates, `await auth.role()` returns the resolved role (or `null`, never throws) so you branch instead of re-asserting.
+- **Reading the role — TWO topologies (`@run402/functions` 3.4.0+; `{ from }` since 3.5.0).** (1) **Bearer/API → edge gate:** with a `requireRole` gate declared, `await auth.requireRole("operator")` returns `{ user, role }`, throwing `RoleGateNotConfiguredError` (500) if no gate vs `InsufficientRoleError` (403) for a real mismatch; for multi-role gates read `await auth.role()` (role or `null`, never throws). The edge gate authenticates via `Authorization: Bearer` ONLY — it does NOT see the browser cookie session, and is per-function. (2) **Cookie-session SSR (Astro/Next) → in-function `{ from }`:** the edge gate doesn't apply (no Bearer; can't scope a catch-all to `/admin/*`; JSON 403 not a redirect), so pass `{ from: { table, idColumn, roleColumn } }` — the helper resolves the cookie user + reads their role from your tenant table directly (RLS-bypass), no gate. On `.astro` pages use `await auth.role({ from })` + `Astro.redirect("/admin/login", 303)` (a throw in frontmatter renders a 500).
 - **Scaffold + first-operator bootstrap.** `run402 auth scaffold-roles --roles operator` emits the `app_roles` migration, the `requireRole` snippet, and a service-role `INSERT` for the FIRST operator — the table starts empty, so the first grant bypasses RLS with the service key. The gate keys on the tenant user id (JWT `sub`), not a wallet.

-Reading the role in-function (`@run402/functions` 3.4.0+). `await auth.requireRole("operator")` returns `{ user, role }` or throws — and throws a *distinct* `RoleGateNotConfiguredError` (server-class 500) when the function declares no `requireRole` gate, vs `InsufficientRoleError` (403) for a real role mismatch. When a gate allows more than one role, read `await auth.role()` (returns the resolved role or `null`, never throws) and branch instead of re-asserting — `requireRole(x)` requires `x` to be one of `allowed`.
+Reading the role in-function — TWO topologies (`@run402/functions` 3.4.0+; `{ from }` since 3.5.0). Role gating has two non-interchangeable forms; pick by how the caller authenticates.
+
+1. Bearer/API callers → the deploy-spec `requireRole` EDGE gate (above). With a gate declared, `await auth.requireRole("operator")` returns `{ user, role }`, throwing a *distinct* `RoleGateNotConfiguredError` (server-class 500) if no gate is declared vs `InsufficientRoleError` (403) for a real mismatch. For multi-role gates, read `await auth.role()` (resolved role or `null`, never throws) and branch — `requireRole(x)` requires `x` in `allowed`. IMPORTANT: the edge gate authenticates via `Authorization: Bearer` JWT ONLY — it does NOT see the browser cookie session, and it is per-function.
+
+2. Cookie-session SSR (Astro/Next consoles, dashboards) → the in-function `{ from }` guard. The edge gate does not apply here (no Bearer → it 401s every cookie browser; per-function → one catch-all function can't gate just `/admin/*`; it returns a JSON 403, not a redirect). Pass `{ from }` and the helper is self-contained: it resolves the cookie user (`auth.user()`) and reads their role from your tenant table directly (RLS-bypass), no gate required:
+
+```ts
+const { user } = await auth.requireRole("operator", { from: { table: "staff", idColumn: "user_id", roleColumn: "role" } });
+// or, for an .astro page (a throw in frontmatter renders a 500, not a redirect) use the non-throwing read:
+const role = await auth.role({ from: { table: "staff", idColumn: "user_id", roleColumn: "role" } });
+if (role !== "operator") return Astro.redirect("/admin/login", 303);
+```
+
+Worked example — an Astro SSR hybrid where ONE ssr function serves `/admin/*` AND the public catch-all/404 fallback: use the in-function `{ from }` guard. An edge gate there would also gate public 404s + the public `/admin/login`, and would 401 every cookie browser. `{ from }` scopes the check to your admin pages, in-app, where the cookie identity is available.
 
 Scaffolding + first-operator bootstrap. `run402 auth scaffold-roles --roles operator` emits the conventional `app_roles(user_id uuid, role text)` migration, the matching `requireRole` snippet, and a service-role `INSERT` to grant the FIRST role — the table starts empty, so the first grant must bypass RLS with the service key. The gate keys on the tenant user id (`internal.users.id` / JWT `sub`), NOT a wallet. The conventional table is a default — `requireRole` accepts any `(table, idColumn, roleColumn)`.
