feat(authorization): add allOf/anyOf combinators to role grants

[yilmaztayfun]

Summary

• RoleGrant gains one-level allOf / anyOf: a grant is role XOR allOf XOR anyOf, children are { "role" } only. Applies to workflow/state queryRoles, transition roles, availableIn, function roles, long-poll roles, subflow overrides and schema x-roles (closes [enhancement] Add allOf/anyOf combinators to RoleGrant #1057).
• One evaluation core (RoleGrantMatcher) with three-valued logic shared by the instance-bound evaluator and EvaluateRolesStatic: a role-bound leaf is Unknown for a role-less caller; a deny fires on Yes or Unknown, an allow admits only on Yes. Plain single-role grants behave exactly as before.
• authorize?queryRoles=true now decides at the deepest active SubFlow leaf only (parent-stamped override ?? leaf state ?? leaf workflow); the root/intermediate AND is removed. Parent-owned transitions and ?ack=true are unchanged.
• The human-task leaf hop carries the caller's act_sub / sub, and CallerScopeHash now includes sub.

Worked example (read this first): docs/domain/role-grant-walkthrough.md — one definition, eight callers, verdict tables for authorize, the state function, x-roles, the human-task list, SubFlow leaf decisions, overrides and the long-poll acknowledge.

Changes

• Domain: RoleGrant (+ RoleGrantCondition, LeafRoles), RoleGrantDefinitionRules (publish rules), SchemaRolesParser (combinator x-roles, trimmed as before; exemption lists stay single-role).
• Application: GrantMatch / RoleGrantMatcher, RoleGrantEvaluator, TransitionAuthorizationManager (prefetch walks leaves; CreateEvaluatorAsync overload taking CallerIdentity), AuthorizeAppService (leaf-only queryRoles; matrix DTO allOf / anyOf), human-task contracts/resolver, CallerScopeHash, Flow/Function/Schema component validators.
• Docs: role-grant-authorization.md (Combinators, Behavior changes in 0.0.99), authorize-function.md, human-task-function.md, new role-grant-walkthrough.md; vnext-meta features / security-policy / migrations / known-issues.

Test Plan

• dotnet test test/BBT.Workflow.Application.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Authoriz|FullyQualifiedName~RoleGrant|FullyQualifiedName~HumanTask|FullyQualifiedName~Schema" — only pre-existing master failures
• dotnet test test/BBT.Workflow.Domain.Tests --filter "FullyQualifiedName~RoleGrant|FullyQualifiedName~SchemaRoles|FullyQualifiedName~Validator" --blame-hang-timeout 30s --blame-hang-dump-type none
• Read the walkthrough tables against RoleGrantCombinatorTests / AuthorizeAppServiceSubflowTests

Integration test evidence

• Scenarios: vnext-example Tests/AuthorizationChainLab, Tests/RoleMatrixLab, Tests/HumanTaskChain (test(authorization): cover role-grant combinators and leaf-only authorize vnext-example#31)
• Runtime: this branch built locally, VNEXT_BASE_URL=http://localhost:4201 (run-docker.sh up core), 2026-10-03
• AuthorizationChainLab: 45 passed / 0 failed / 9 skipped (MorphIdm provider tests need their own start); every leaf-only expectation green
• RoleMatrixLab: 96 / 119 — new CombinatorGrantTests 4/4 green; the 23 reds are the already-recorded known set (gateway-owned queryRoles 16, function mapping CS8197 5, $InstanceStarter without act_sub 2)
• HumanTaskChain: 12 / 23 — same-domain corporate leaf and depth-1 identity tests green; all 11 reds are environment (partner/credit domains not running: Connection refused :4211, Discovery:700002). The cross-domain identity hop is not yet verified (needs the four-domain lab)
• Postgres: depth-1 and depth-2 corporate leaves persisted with CreatedBy=u-ali, CreatedByBehalfOf=c-acme; the 9 ht_c incidents are all Discovery:700002
• Traces not checked: the openobserve / elasticsearch MCP servers were unreachable in this session
• TEST-SCENARIOS.md rows updated: yes

Notes

• Release order: publish feat(schema): add allOf/anyOf combinators to roleGrant vnext-schema#148 first; domains validating with an older schema reject allOf / anyOf.
• Behavior changes (0.0.99, recorded in vnext-meta/migrations.json):
  • leaf-only queryRoles loosens access where a root declares queryRoles but a SubFlow leaf has none — add subFlow.overrides.states.<state>.queryRoles or leaf queryRoles;
  • malformed schema x-roles entries and function roles with a malformed dynamic path are now rejected at publish (they were silently inert before);
  • a role-less caller no longer matches an allow $role. grant whose path resolves to "".
• Rollout (known-issues.json): author the first combinator only after every pod — and every domain that stamps overrides onto this one — runs this release; do not binary-downgrade once combinators are published.
• CallerScopeHash change re-keys the state/data/schema/human-task caches once at deploy (one round of 200s instead of 304s).
• The issue marks this as a Chair-gated auth contract; the agent council was skipped by the requester's decision — Chair review requested here.

🟠 Unauthenticated leaf route trusts caller identity fields · HumanTask/HumanTaskLeafResolver.cs:243

Security · HumanTask/HumanTaskLeafResolver.cs:243 · in Instance API
Anyone who can reach the batch route can set ActorUserName to an instance creator; $InstanceStarter then authorizes the leaf and the route returns its human task title and description.
Fix: Authenticate calls to the internal batch route and verify forwarded actor and subject identities against trusted claims before evaluating grants.

🟠 Combinator grants break older pods during rolling deploys · Authorization/RoleGrant.cs:81

Data flow · Authorization/RoleGrant.cs:81 · in Workflow Domain
During a rolling deploy, an old pod that loads this grant gets role == null in its old RoleGrant constructor and throws; requests for that workflow fail on that pod until it is replaced.
Fix: Gate allOf and anyOf publication until every serving pod has the new RoleGrant model, or preserve a serialized form the old model can load.

🪧 More tips

• Run npx skills add coldteadotai/pr-lens, then tell your coding agent: "Diagram the change you just made with PR Lens and attach it to the pull request."
• Run npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli analyze --base origin/main on a branch, then npx @coldtea/pr-lens-cli render .pr-lens/graph.json. Same lenses, your own model key, before the pull request exists
• Untick Architecture lens or Data flow lens under View to hide a diagram, or tick Expand every detail to open every section. The comment redraws in a few seconds
• The diagrams are links. Click one to open it on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change
• Open a diagram on the canvas, then press W or click play to walk through the change one step at a time
• The CLI's render reads .github/pr-lens.yml and applies your renames, exclusions and lane pins at draw time
• Set github.comment.collapsed: true in .github/pr-lens.yml to fold the comment behind one View architecture and data flow row. Drawing still runs as before
• Set github.draw: on-demand in .github/pr-lens.yml and PR Lens stops drawing pull requests on its own. Comment @pr-lens draw on a pull request when you want that one drawn
• Add .github/workflows/pr-lens.yml with coldteadotai/pr-lens/packages/action@v0 and your model provider's key as its api-key to run PR Lens from your own CI. Any /chat/completions endpoint works
• Push a commit and the drawing stays, with a note that it is out of date. Tick Redraw in the note to draw the new head
• Switch GitHub to dark mode and the diagrams follow. The moving dots are this pull request's data in motion
