Here comes the ingenuity: No additional hooks are needed. I use the menu hook to modify profile and recent; their context is available to modify.

Not sure how I would have done it had I attempted it, I think I'd have skipped trying to show the nice UI and simply pretended the board didn't exist (user group can see, but cannot enter) and done it by having the plugin fudge query_enter_board and query_see_topic if necessary afterwards.
I did consider adding it as a core feature for those who feel they need it, but I think it's better as a plugin, and if it's like this, it's a great job :)

Anyway, this UX isn't anything new. It is derived from my old SMF mod http://livemods.net/index.php?action=media;sa=item;in=75
I forgot about search and the feeds. I'm going to modify query_enter/see_board for SSI, feeds will get a similar treatment, and search will still index passworded boards, but only hide them from the end results with the above UX.

The only downside I can think of doing it that way is that other plugins won't necessarily behave. If it's enforced by munging query_ magic, other plugins can't help but behave.
It's sort of why I've been thinking it might have to be considered as core unless we stay resolute and firm against the people who think it's a good idea!
