Overview

Thin dispatcher — selects the right focused ability class based on party type.

  • CRM controllers (CrmController hierarchy) override +current_ability+ to
    return +CrmAbility+ directly, so this class is never reached for employee
    sessions in the CRM.

  • WWW portal controllers (BasePortalController hierarchy) override
    +current_ability+ to return +CustomerPortalAbility+ directly.

  • All other controllers (API, webhooks, admin namespace, mailer previews, etc.)
    that do not override +current_ability+ fall back to this class, which merges
    the appropriate focused ability so the rules are still correct.

See CrmAbility and CustomerPortalAbility for the actual rule definitions.
