Address review feedback on the OSS authorization foundations PR:
- B1/I1: Split services/authorization/utils.py (694 lines, mixed
responsibilities) into focused modules:
- audit.py — batched audit pipeline (audit_decision, writer loop)
- guards.py — ensure_*_permission family (collapsed via _RESOURCE_SPECS
registry; nine 25-line clones become 7 thin wrappers)
- listing.py — filter_visible_resources
utils.py remains as a back-compat re-export shim so existing call sites
(api/v1/flows.py, deployments.py, etc.) keep working untouched.
- B2: Split tests/unit/services/authorization/test_utils.py (1004 lines)
into test_audit.py, test_guards.py, test_filter_visible.py,
test_domain_resolution.py. Shared stubs + monkeypatch helpers extracted
into _common.py; pytest fixtures into conftest.py.
- I2: ensure_permission default 403 detail is now "Permission denied" —
callers can opt into a richer message via the new `detail=` kwarg. The
previous default echoed flow:<uuid> in the response, leaking existence
to non-owners on any route that forgot to wrap in deny_to_404.
- I4: Document the OSS floor contract on _ensure_can_administer_share —
the early-return is dead in OSS (supports_cross_user_fetch() is False)
and the explicit 403 is the actual floor; the enterprise plugin gates
via the downstream ensure_share_permission call.
- R2: Audit drop logging is now time-based (first drop + at most every
10s during persistent saturation) instead of every 1000th drop. Low
drop rates no longer go minutes without a log line.
- R5: Seed migration's non-Postgres/SQLite fallback wraps the INSERT in
a SAVEPOINT and swallows IntegrityError. Two concurrent migration
runners can no longer race past the SELECT-then-INSERT check.
- R6: IntegrityError tests in test_authz_models.py now verify the
*specific* constraint fired — column names for unique partial indexes
(SQLite doesn't surface the index name), constraint name substring
for CHECK constraints. A generic NOT NULL regression would no longer
pass these tests.
All 180 authz tests pass; ruff clean.
