Make view access writable via the API, add a Public/Private selector to the project view form, and return 404 when a private view is not visible to the requester.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe API now accepts writable view access values and returns 404 for missing views. The web view form adds an access selector and localized access label while retaining existing submission actions. ChangesView access flow
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This change enables private project views, but restricted guests may still receive a 403 that reveals a view exists instead of the required 404, and the new Public/Private controls are not accessible to assistive technologies. The PR is not merge-ready until the visibility response is corrected; the accessibility issue also needs follow-up. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Apply the guest visibility rule before returning 404.
get_queryset() does not apply guest_view_all_features. Therefore, a guest with that flag disabled can match a public view they do not own and reach Lines 326-340, which return 403. This exposes the view’s existence and conflicts with the required 404 response for views that are not visible to the user. Apply the guest restriction in the queryset or return the same 404 response from that branch.

@base-ui-components/react Tooltip Trigger accessible name aria-describedby tooltip content
💡 Result:
In Base UI for React, tooltips are intended to be visual-only, supplementary elements and should not be used as the primary mechanism for labeling interactive elements [1][2]. Official documentation explicitly advises against relying on aria-describedby to link tooltips to their triggers [3]. To maintain accessibility: 1. Provide an Accessible Name: The Tooltip.Trigger should always have an accessible name (e.g., via aria-label or visible text) that describes the element's purpose, regardless of the tooltip content [1][2]. 2. Avoid aria-describedby for Tooltips: Screen readers may inconsistently announce tooltip content when aria-describedby is used, potentially causing redundant or confusing announcements [3][4]. Furthermore, because tooltips are not accessible to all input modalities (such as touch), critical information should never be hidden inside one [1][2]. 3. Use Alternatives for Essential Content: If the information provided by the tooltip is essential for the user to understand or interact with the element, use a more persistent component like a Popover instead [3][1][2]. The Base UI team has explicitly noted that they do not include aria-describedby as a default requirement for the Tooltip component because tooltips are meant to be visual enhancements, not a source of screen reader information [3]. If your use case strictly requires providing extra, non-essential description, you may manually apply aria-describedby, but you should be aware of the potential for redundant screen reader announcements [3].

Give each access button an accessible name.
AccessField passes icon-only buttons to BaseTooltip.Trigger, while tooltipContent renders only in the tooltip popup. Base UI does not use tooltip content as the trigger’s accessible name. Add aria-label={label} for the Public and Private buttons.

Project views already had a private/public
accessfield and list filtering by owner, butaccesswas read-only on the API and the create/edit form had no access control. Users could not actually create personal private views.This PR enables private project views end-to-end:
