`get_permissions` deep-copies the default permission tree with a `json.loads(json.dumps(...))` round trip before merging group permissions into it. It runs on signin, signup, the permissions endpoint, OAuth, and the chat-completion middleware.
It now goes through `JSONCodec`, which selects orjson when `ENABLE_ORJSON` is set. The intermediate string never leaves the expression, so neither the escaping nor the separator differences between the two backends are observable; only the resulting object is used.
`default_permissions` always originates from `Config.get('user.permissions')`, a SQLAlchemy `JSON` column, so the tree is JSON-native by construction and the round trip is exact.
Note for anyone tempted to simplify this to `copy.deepcopy`: measured on the real `DEFAULT_USER_PERMISSIONS` shape over 200k iterations, `deepcopy` takes 3.51s against 1.45s for the stdlib round trip and 0.40s for orjson. The round trip is the fast option, not a workaround.
With `ENABLE_ORJSON` unset, which is the default, `JSONCodec` is stdlib `json` and this call site behaves exactly as before.
A workspace model shared publicly could be used by any user even when its
base model was private. Unregistered base models (no row in the model
table) are admin-only for direct use — get_filtered_models hides them from
non-admins and check_model_access rejects them — but has_base_model_access
treated a missing row as "no ACL" and allowed the chained request through.
has_base_model_access now takes the caller's role and only allows an
unregistered base model hop for admins, so a shared preset can no longer
reach a base model the caller could not use directly. Registered base
models keep their existing grant-based enforcement.

Two lifecycle/authorization gaps let a deactivated (pending) account keep acting:
1. The background automation scheduler (execute_automation) rehydrated the owner by ID and
dispatched the chat pipeline without re-checking the owner. A user later set to pending,
or one whose features.automations permission was revoked, kept running scheduled
automations on the operator's provider credentials, even though the HTTP create/update/run
routes already gate on get_verified_user + features.automations. Re-gate the rehydrated
owner before dispatch: require role user/admin and, for non-admins, the features.automations
permission; otherwise record an error and skip the run.
2. check_model_access enforced per-model ACLs only for exactly role == 'user', so any other
non-admin role (a pending principal) fell through and was granted access. Enforce for every
non-admin role (admins still bypass), so the check fails closed (CWE-862, CWE-863).

The /responses proxy endpoint only required authentication via
get_verified_user but did not check per-model access grants. This
allowed any authenticated user to access any model through this
endpoint, bypassing the access control system.
Extract a shared check_model_access helper into utils/access_control
and replace all inline access control blocks across openai.py and
ollama.py (7 locations) with calls to this helper. This eliminates
code duplication and prevents future policy drift between endpoints.
