Patrick Buckley 09c05733c6 test(personas): harden the guard suite — real paths over scripted events
The rank guard now derives needs_approval through the real _prepare_tool
on a bash call under an allowlisting persona instead of scripting the
flag, and asserts the approval gate actually fires. The row-shape guard's
source-grep is replaced with behavioral collector tests driving both
ws_created lanes (poll-diff and SSE relay), plus a proxy-forward twin and
a saved-list value assertion that would catch positional column mix-ups.

Receiving-side stamping gets its first HTTP coverage: create with an
explicit persona under workstreams.create only (selection needs no
persona perm), kind-mismatch and unknown-name 400s, omitted-persona
default stamping, the 503 on a failed default lookup, and the clean-None
legacy lane. Resume adoption is pinned end to end: a corrupt target stamp
leaves the session fully intact, an MCP-on stamp is refused when the
client was persona-gated at construction, and an MCP-off stamp drops the
live surface (listeners deregistered, toolsets reset). Soft-set
tool_search expansion recomposes the prompt exactly once; legacy sessions
never recompose.

Compaction legs run real flows now: spill plus the recall-pointer variant
under memory-off with recall visible vs hidden, and a full stamp
surviving compaction-then-resume. Migration 063 gains the downgrade
config-cleanup case (stamps removed, creative_mode preserved) and the
conversion idempotency case (already-stamped creative rows don't crash
the upgrade).

RBAC coverage goes cross-perm: read-only and write-only principals hit
every verb (a wrong-perm-name regression in any handler is now visible),
archive and default-flip succeed through PATCH, persona.* strings
round-trip the role editors and the overrides overlay, and the production
route table is asserted directly (no DELETE registered). Endpoint/storage
fixtures move off migration-seed names; storage hardening tests cover the
size caps, corrupt-row reads, the TypeError-to-ValueError ordering, the
duplicate-name race mapping, and the single-default backstop. Shell
asserts pin the new picker surfaces and drop the last persona-as-kind
wording.

"""Tests for the personas storage layer.
Runs against whichever backend ``--storage-backend`` selects (the ``backend``
fixture), so the SQLite and PostgreSQL implementations are exercised by the
same assertions. Focus areas: the tri-state ``tool_allowlist`` round-trip
(None vs [] vs [names] — the NULL/empty distinction is load-bearing for the
visibility lever), the one-default-per-kind invariant, and the
default-not-archivable rule.
