query · in the family Reading your records
What it does
List the ready-made reports — sales, payments and cash, inventory, purchasing, loyalty, gift cards, people and orders — each with the question it answers, the parameters it takes, its columns, and whether your role may run it.
THE REPORT CATALOGUE as YOU see it (THE REPORTS PROGRAM slice — R-110): every canned report — its key, group, title, the question it answers, the parameters it takes (period · lens · person · record · axis · status · option), its columns with their words, the engine that computes it, the families it reads and who may run it — WITH your own verdict per row: allowed (every family it reads is listable by your role, or the self lane over your own records) or the why in words (never a silent absence). Run one with reportRun(catalogKey, params). Born paginated (limit · nextToken over the bounded catalogue).
What happens
Read-only: nothing runs and nothing is saved. Every report is listed with your own verdict — allowed, or the reason it is closed to your role (a report reads only records your role may already list; a few run for anyone over their own records). Run one with reportRun and its key; the list is paged.
