Eric Hare aafce557aa feat(authz): admin APIs, share-aware build_flow, and base service additions (#13371)
* feat(authz): add roles, role-assignments, teams, and me/permissions APIs

Completes the OSS admin surface for RBAC: full CRUD on authz_role,
authz_role_assignment, authz_team, and authz_team_member tables, plus a
per-user effective-permissions endpoint backing the frontend permission gate.
Plugin (enterprise Casbin) is invalidated on every write so the next enforce
sees the change.

New endpoints:
* GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /api/v1/authz/roles -- custom-role CRUD with parent
  cycle detection, system-role protection, and FK-aware delete (409 when
  assignments still reference the role).
* GET/POST/DELETE /api/v1/authz/role-assignments -- list filterable by
  user/role/domain; superuser-only for write, self-read allowed.
* GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /api/v1/authz/teams + GET/POST/DELETE
  /api/v1/authz/teams/{id}/members -- backs the share-with-team flow and
  the team admin UI.
* POST /api/v1/authz/me/permissions -- returns per-resource allowed actions
  for the current user (capped at 500 ids), backs the FE permission gate.

Base service additions (lfx.services.authorization.base):
* list_visible_resource_ids -- plugin SQL prefilter for list endpoints; OSS
  returns None ("no prefilter, fall through to filter_visible_resources").
* get_effective_permissions -- default impl uses batch_enforce so plugins
  inherit it for free; Casbin plugin can override for a tighter query.

* fix(authz): make build_flow share-aware so shared flows can be run by non-owners

The build_flow handler was loading flows with an owner-OR-public SQL filter,
short-circuiting the ensure_flow_permission(EXECUTE) check on private flows
shared with the current user. The existing in-code comment flagged this as a
Phase 3 prerequisite for cross-user build support.

Switch to the share-aware load helper (_read_flow / authorized_or_owner_scoped):
* When the registered authorization plugin signals SUPPORTS_CROSS_USER_FETCH
  (enterprise Casbin), the row loads by id alone and the plugin decides via
  enforce(). OSS pass-through keeps the historical owner-only behavior.
* PUBLIC flows are still buildable by any authenticated user in both modes
  (preserved via the explicit access_type=PUBLIC fallback).
* Plugin deny is translated to 404 (not 403) via deny_to_404 so the response
  is indistinguishable from "flow does not exist" and the caller cannot
  enumerate UUIDs by probing for 403 vs 404.

* test(authz): cover new admin routes and share-aware build_flow

Pins the security floor and validation behavior added in the prior commits so
they don't silently regress. Uses the existing fake async session + stub authz
service pattern from test_authz_share_routes.py.

test_authz_admin_routes.py (17 tests):
* /authz/roles -- superuser gate on create, persist + invalidate_all, 409 on
  name conflict, system-role protection on update + delete, self-parent and
  parent-cycle rejection, 409 when deleting a role with active assignments.
* /authz/role-assignments -- non-superuser blocked from listing other users'
  assignments; self-list allowed; 404 when user_id is unknown; create
  invokes invalidate_user(target).
* /authz/teams -- superuser gate on create, add_member invokes
  invalidate_user(target), duplicate add returns 409.
* /authz/me/permissions -- correct per-resource shape, 400 when over 500
  ids, empty request returns empty.

test_chat_build_flow_authz.py (5 tests):
* Owner happy path preserved.
* Plugin 403 deny converted to 404 (UUID privacy).
* Unknown flow + no PUBLIC fallback -> 404.
* Share-aware load miss + PUBLIC fallback hits -> success.
* Non-403 errors (e.g. 500) pass through with status preserved.

Total: 22 new tests, all passing locally.

* fix(authz): normalize, dedupe, and cap the actions list on /authz/me/permissions

The resource_ids cap (500) bounded one side of the cartesian product, but the
actions list was unbounded. A client could submit actions=["read"] * 100000
and trigger a 50M-entry batch_enforce, plus the same action in different
casings ("READ", "read") would have been treated as distinct entries.

Add a field_validator on EffectivePermissionsRequest.actions that:
* strips whitespace and lowercases each entry
* de-duplicates while preserving order
* caps the result at 10 unique actions (headroom over the 6 known actions:
  read, write, execute, delete, create, manage)
* returns None when the normalized list is empty so the handler still falls
  back to _DEFAULT_ACTIONS

Over-cap requests raise ValidationError (HTTP 422 at the request boundary),
which matches Pydantic conventions for input shape problems and differs from
the resource_ids cap (HTTP 400 in the handler) by design -- bound-violation
on list size is structurally a validation error, not application logic.

6 new tests: normalization+dedupe, empty-collapses-to-None, over-cap rejection,
50-entry dedupe stays under cap, None stays None, handler sees normalized list.

* fix(authz): default /authz/role-assignments list to caller's own assignments

The gate `if user_id is None or user_id != current_user.id` required superuser
whenever user_id was omitted, so any non-superuser calling
GET /authz/role-assignments with no query params got 403 even though the
docstring promised "Users may query their own assignments".

Resolve user_id to current_user.id when omitted, then only gate superuser when
the resolved id differs from the caller. The query is now always filtered by
the resolved user_id, so admins doing cross-user lookups make one call per
user instead of relying on an unscoped see-all.

Adds test_list_assignments_no_user_id_defaults_to_self pinning the new
behavior. The other two assignment-list tests (self with explicit user_id,
non-superuser blocked from another user) remain unchanged and still pass.

* fix(authz): use model_fields_set so PATCH /authz/roles can clear nullable fields

The "if payload.<field> is not None" guards made it impossible to clear
description or parent_role_id via PATCH -- an explicit "description": null
in the body was indistinguishable from omitting the field, leaving the old
value in place.

Switch to presence checks via payload.model_fields_set:
* description: nullable on the DB side, so an explicit null clears the field.
* parent_role_id: nullable + SET NULL on cascade; null removes the parent.
* name: NOT NULL + unique on the DB side. The presence check applies, but
  an explicit null is rejected at the boundary with HTTP 400 so the caller
  sees a clear error instead of an opaque 409 "Name conflict" from the
  IntegrityError catch block below.
* permissions: nullable=False (default_factory=list) on the DB side. An
  empty list is the natural "clear"; null is rejected with HTTP 400.

6 new tests: clear description via null, clear parent via null, omitted
fields untouched, reject null name, clear permissions via empty list,
reject null permissions.

Adds _make_role_row helper so SimpleNamespace fakes carry every field
that RoleRead.model_validate expects (workspace_id, created_at, created_by).

* fix(authz): use model_fields_set so PATCH /authz/teams can clear description

The "if payload.description is not None" guard made the description field
unclearable via PATCH -- an explicit "description": null was indistinguishable
from omitting the field, leaving the old value in place.

Switch to a presence check via payload.model_fields_set so null clears the
field, while omission still leaves the row alone. The DB column is nullable,
so None is a legitimate value here.

Scope intentionally narrow: team_name and adom_name are NOT NULL on the DB
side (null would crash on commit) and is_active is bool (null doesn't model
any state), so they keep the existing is-not-None guards.

Adds 2 tests: clear via explicit null, omission leaves value untouched.
Adds _make_team_row helper for parity with _make_role_row.

* fix(authz): validate batch_enforce result length in get_effective_permissions

The default get_effective_permissions impl built `requests` as a cartesian
product of resource_ids x actions, called batch_enforce, then sliced the
flat result back into per-resource action lists. If a plugin's batch_enforce
returned the wrong number of results -- contract violation -- the slicing
silently produced incorrect mappings:

* too-short flat: later resources got `[]` (out-of-bounds slice returns empty
  in Python) instead of their real permissions
* too-long flat: tail entries silently dropped

The inner `zip(..., strict=True)` only caught the per-slice mismatch when a
slice happened to be too short, not the global length mismatch.

Validate `len(flat) == len(requests)` immediately after the call and raise
ValueError with expected/actual counts so plugin authors find the contract
break at the first wrong call, not via mysteriously-empty permission lists.

Adds two lfx tests:
* default impl returns full action list per resource (no enforcement)
* mocked batch_enforce returning a wrong-sized list raises ValueError

* fix: remove EE references

* fix: harden authz admin APIs based on PR review

- Pin permission slug format to canonical <resource>:<action> and validate
  RoleCreate/RoleUpdate at the API boundary so bad slugs cannot land in
  authz_role.permissions and silently fail policy sync.
- Tighten RoleAssignmentCreate: domain_type is a Literal and a model
  validator enforces domain_id consistency (required for org/workspace/
  project, forbidden for global).
- Restore _resolve_casbin_domain re-export for plugin backward compat.
- Audit-log policy-changing admin writes (role CRUD, role-assignment
  create/delete, team CRUD, team membership add/remove) so privilege
  grants are visible alongside enforcement decisions.
- Invalidate authorization cache when a team's adom_name or is_active
  changes; pure display edits still skip the flush.

* review feedback

* [autofix.ci] apply automated fixes

* fix(authz): harden build_flow and expose authz_enabled on config

Block non-owners from overriding flow graph data on shared builds,
revert unrelated component_index.json churn, and surface
LANGFLOW_AUTHZ_ENABLED on public and authenticated config responses
for EE UI gating.

* [autofix.ci] apply automated fixes
