Net effect: 'Payroll' nav may not appear in sidebar after enabling the module unless: (a) admin first visits any page using usePermissions, OR (b) the AdminAccessControl page is mounted (it broadcasts but does not itself prime the cache). Recommendation: invoke usePermissions inside the root <App> or in <Sidebar> so the cache is always primed on login.",

Only minor observation: usePermissions cache hydration timing — Sidebar may not show new Payroll nav immediately after grant if user has not visited any usePermissions-using page yet on this session. Functionally a soft refresh of /payroll fixes it. Default admin 'regalmarketing2024' role='admin' (NOT 'superadmin') — denial tests correctly fail with 403. After this test run, admin's payroll grant is persisted — next iteration may want to call DELETE on user_module_access doc or rely on test fixture teardown.",
