cloud_tenant: company-scoped tenants, never instance-admin (#7525)

## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies, and a
single server instance can host many companies.
> - The auth middleware (`server/src/middleware/auth.ts`) supports a
`cloud_tenant` mode where a trusted hosting proxy injects per-request
identity headers, designed originally for one-deployment-per-tenant
setups.
> - In that original setup, granting every cloud tenant the
`instance_admin` role was harmless; on a **shared, multi-tenant pool**
it means any paying tenant is admin of the whole instance and can reach
every other tenant's data.
> - A tenant only needs to own its own company — which it already gets
via the company membership the same code path upserts — so
instance-level admin is never appropriate for `cloud_tenant` actors.
> - This PR removes the `instance_admin` grant from the cloud-tenant
path and pins `isInstanceAdmin: false` on the resolved actor.
> - Greptile review then surfaced a follow-up gap: deployments that ran
the pre-hardening build still have stale `instance_admin` rows in
`instance_user_roles`, which other lookups (BetterAuth session path,
board API keys, and the authorization service's own DB re-check) would
still honor.
> - The follow-up commit closes that gap by purging stale rows at the
cloud-tenant auth boundary and by teaching the authorization service
that `cloud_tenant` actors are never instance admins.
> - The benefit is that shared-pool hosting becomes structurally safe:
tenants are company-scoped owners, never instance admins — including on
deployments upgrading from the older behavior.

## Linked Issues

- Refs #966 — managed SaaS multi-tenant hosting is the deployment shape
this hardening protects.
- Refs #5015 — same problem space: instance-admin-scoped credentials are
too broad for multi-company instances; tenants need company-scoped
access.

Neither issue is fully closed by this PR; it removes the instance-admin
grant from the `cloud_tenant` trusted-header path specifically.

## What Changed

- `server/src/middleware/auth.ts`
- Removed the `instanceUserRoles` insert that granted every cloud tenant
`instance_admin`; `resolveCloudTenantActor` now returns
`isInstanceAdmin: false` (was `true`).
- `resolveCloudTenantActor` now **deletes** any stale `instance_admin`
row for the authenticated tenant user on every trusted-header request,
so grants left behind by pre-hardening deployments are purged at the
source (closes the Greptile P2: stale rows could otherwise re-elevate
the user via the BetterAuth session path, board API keys, or the
authorization service).
  - The function is `export`ed so it can be unit-tested directly.
- `server/src/services/authorization.ts`
- `authorizationService` previously re-checked `instanceUserRoles` from
the DB regardless of the actor flag, which would have elevated even
hardened `cloud_tenant` actors while a stale row lingered. Actors with
`source === "cloud_tenant"` are now never elevated to instance admin;
other board actors keep the existing lookup.
- `server/src/services/authorization.ts` +
`server/src/middleware/auth.ts` (follow-up commit `dc57a71c7`)
- CI on the merge ref surfaced that elevation removal alone strands real
cloud tenant users: board actors only ever reached `issue:read` /
`issue:mutate` through instance-admin elevation (`permissionForAction`
maps both to no grant key). `decide()` now grants `cloud_tenant` actors
with an **active membership in the resource company** the same read
surface as a same-company agent (`agent:read`, `company_scope:read`,
`issue:read`, `project:read`) plus `issue:mutate` for non-viewer members
— cross-company access stays denied (new `allow_company_member` reason).
- `resolveCloudTenantActor` seeds the standard role-default permission
grants (`ensureHumanRoleDefaultGrants`) so granted actions (e.g.
`tasks:assign`, `agents:create` for owners) work without elevation.
- Master-side route tests that stubbed cloud tenant actors with
`isInstanceAdmin: true` now seed a real membership and assert under the
hardened contract (`issue-identifier-routes`,
`multilingual-issues-routes`, `issue-comment-redaction`).
- Tests
- `server/src/middleware/cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts` (new): cloud tenant
is never instance-admin, is scoped to exactly the one company from its
stack, still upserts user/company/membership, purges stale
`instance_admin` rows, returns null without the server token, and maps
non-owner stack roles without elevating.
- `server/src/__tests__/auth-session-route.test.ts`: end-to-end
middleware regression — a user with a stale `instance_admin` row stops
being elevated via the session path once they authenticate through the
cloud-tenant path (with a control assertion showing the pre-purge
elevation).
- `server/src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts` (embedded
Postgres): a `cloud_tenant` actor with a stale `instance_admin` row in
the real DB cannot cross company boundaries, while a `session` actor
with the same row still resolves `allow_instance_admin`.

## Verification

Run from the repo root after `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`:

```bash
cd server
npx vitest run src/middleware/cloud-tenant-actor.test.ts src/__tests__/auth-session-route.test.ts
# 9 tests passed
npx vitest run src/__tests__/authorization-service.test.ts
# 16 tests passed (embedded Postgres)
pnpm typecheck
# clean
```

Also ran the broader auth-related suites locally (`auth-routes`,
`authz-company-access`, `better-auth`, `adapter-routes-authz`,
`express5-auth-wildcard`): 8 files, 58 tests, all passing.

## Risks

- **This touches authentication and authorization paths directly.**
Mistakes here are security bugs in both directions; review accordingly.
- **Behavioral change for existing `cloud_tenant` deployments:** tenants
that previously (incorrectly) had instance-admin lose it — including the
ability to see/manage other companies on the instance. This is the
intended hardening, but any single-tenant deployment that relied on the
cloud-tenant identity for instance administration must provision a
separate admin identity.
- **The purge is destructive by design:** if an operator's
instance-admin identity is *also* provisioned through the cloud-tenant
headers (same user id), its `instance_admin` row will be deleted on the
next trusted-header request. Operators should hold admin through a
non-cloud-tenant identity.
- **Residual gap (documented, not fixed here):** a deployment that ran
the old cloud_tenant build and then *disabled* cloud-tenant mode keeps
stale rows until the affected user re-authenticates through the cloud
path. A data migration was considered and deliberately avoided: there is
no reliable SQL predicate for "cloud-tenant-provisioned user" (no source
column), so a migration risks deleting legitimate admins.
- No schema or migration changes; no UI changes.
