[GrantFox][High] Test every admin authorization boundary #1130

Description

@greatest0fallt1me

Summary

Test every admin authorization boundary

Why this matters

Admin-only configuration and recovery entrypoints must not be reachable through alternate paths.

Scope

Build a complete entrypoint authorization matrix and negative tests.

Acceptance criteria

  • Every admin entrypoint rejects unauthorized callers.
  • Read-only paths remain available as intended.
  • Role transitions do not widen access.
  • Tests cover all variants and repeated calls.

Validation

Add regression coverage for existing behavior, failure modes, authorization boundaries, and compatibility. The implementation must pass the repository CI checks.

Non-goals

  • Typo-only, formatting-only, or documentation-only changes.
  • Unrelated refactors or dependency upgrades.
  • Weakening existing security, authorization, CI, or production safeguards.

Contributor application

Before implementation, comment with relevant experience, a 1–4 bullet approach, and an estimate for opening the first draft PR. Wait for maintainer assignment before coding.

PR requirements

Use a feature branch, include Closes #<issue-number>, check every acceptance criterion, link criteria to code/tests, explain security and failure-mode considerations, and pass CI.

Reward-readiness

This is a substantive GrantFox campaign issue. Merge and CI success do not by themselves guarantee reward eligibility; final reward-readiness is determined by campaign review.
