feat: three-actor RLS + adversarial attack integration tests (Alice/Bob/Mallory)

[pyramation]

Summary

Extends upload.integration.test.ts from a two-actor (Alice/Bob) test into a comprehensive three-actor adversarial security test. Adds Mallory as a third tenant with the strictest RLS policies, and exercises attack vectors for metadata tampering, cross-tenant header manipulation, and bucket/file mutation abuse.

Three-actor model

Actor	RLS level	Description
Alice	None	Baseline tenant — no RLS, all CRUD allowed
Bob	Moderate	RLS on app_files (anonymous: SELECT public-bucket files + INSERT only) and app_buckets (anonymous: SELECT public only). No UPDATE/DELETE for anonymous.
Mallory	Strictest	Anonymous can only SELECT — no INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE on files or buckets

Test suites (8 describe blocks)

1. Presigned URL uploads (Alice) — Public upload, private upload, deduplication (unchanged from original)
2. Feature flag gating — database_settings / api_settings cascade for Alice, Bob (2 APIs), and Mallory via X-Api-Name header
3. Three-way tenant isolation — Bob uploads → Bob sees own → Mallory sees own → no cross-tenant leakage in any direction
4. Bucket enumeration attacks — Alice sees all buckets (no RLS), Bob sees only public (RLS hides private), Mallory sees all (her policy allows all SELECT)
5. File mutation attacks — bucket_id update, is_public flip, delete, direct file injection, plus persistence check that seeded data survives all attacks
6. Bucket mutation attacks — Create, update (public→private flip), delete — blocked for both Bob and Mallory anonymous roles
7. Cross-tenant header manipulation — Mismatched X-Database-Id / X-Api-Name combos (5 scenarios) + X-Schemata cross-schema leakage (2 scenarios)
8. RLS enforcement on Bob's schema — Anonymous sees only public-bucket files; private-bucket file invisible; public file visible

expectRlsDenied helper

The helper handles the three ways PostGraphile surfaces an RLS denial:

1. Raw PG errors (dev mode) — message contains permission denied, new row violates row-level security, insufficient_privilege, or No values were
2. Masked internal errors (production/CI mode) — PostGraphile masks PG errors with code: 'INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR'; the raw message is only logged server-side
3. Null data — RLS USING clause filters all rows, so the mutation returns null or an object with all-null fields (e.g. { appFile: null })

GraphQL validation errors (GRAPHQL_VALIDATION_FAILED) are explicitly rejected — if a mutation fails due to a wrong field name or missing type, the test fails rather than silently passing.

Seed data changes

• schema.sql: Refactored into a _test_create_storage_schema() helper function that creates buckets + files tables for any schema name. Adds Bob's storage schema with RLS on both app_buckets and app_files; adds Mallory's schema with strictest RLS (anonymous SELECT-only on both tables).
• test-data.sql: Seeds Mallory's database, API (mallory-app), storage_module, two buckets (public/private), two pre-seeded files (one per bucket), database_settings, and all required metaschema rows. Also adds a pre-seeded public file in Bob's schema for mutation attack testing.
• setup.sql: Adds database_settings and api_settings DDL (mirrors production tables from constructive-db PR feat(node-type-registry): add DataLimitCounter, DataFeatureFlag, AuthzAppMembership #1060).

Performance

All tests share a single beforeAll with one getConnections() server instance — no beforeEach, no per-describe teardown. All three schemas are loaded once and reused across all 8 test suites.

Updates since last revision

• Fixed update mutation variable shapes — All update mutations used patch but PostGraphile v5 expects table-specific names: appFilePatch for UpdateAppFileInput and appBucketPatch for UpdateAppBucketInput. Previously these tests were failing for schema validation, not RLS — they never actually reached the RLS layer.
• Handled masked errors in expectRlsDenied — In CI, NODE_ENV is not development, so PostGraphile masks all PG errors. The client receives "An unexpected error occurred" with code: INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR instead of the raw PG message. Added the error code check alongside the raw message patterns.
• Handled nested null data pattern — When RLS USING clauses filter all rows, PostGraphile returns { updateAppFile: { appFile: null } } rather than a top-level null. The helper now accepts objects where all values are null.
• Added GRAPHQL_VALIDATION_FAILED rejection — Prevents tests from silently passing when a mutation fails for the wrong reason (e.g. typo in a field name).
• Removed "Supabase-style" label from the test describe block name.
• Fixed invalid Mallory UUIDs — All Mallory UUIDs originally used m as a prefix (e.g. m1m1m1m1-...), but m is not a valid hexadecimal digit. Replaced with fa-prefix UUIDs.

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• Verify INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR acceptance isn't too broad — In production mode, expectRlsDenied accepts any masked internal error as an RLS denial. If PostGraphile hits a real bug (unrelated to RLS), the test would falsely pass. The GRAPHQL_VALIDATION_FAILED rejection catches the most common false-pass case, but a non-RLS database error would still be accepted. Consider whether to set NODE_ENV=development in the CI test runner to get unmasked PG errors.
• Verify cross-tenant X-Schemata tests aren't vacuously true — The two X-Schemata cross-schema tests use if (res.status === 200 && res.body.data) before asserting. If the server returns a non-200 status for a different reason (e.g., schema not found), the assertions are silently skipped and the test passes. Worth verifying these actually exercise the intended 200 path.
• Spot-check UUID alignment across seed files and test constants — There are many hand-written UUIDs across test-data.sql and the test file. A mismatch between seed INSERT UUIDs and test constants would cause silent false-passes in mutation/isolation tests.
• Confirm database_settings / api_settings DDL in setup.sql matches production — These table definitions are duplicated from constructive-db PR feat(node-type-registry): add DataLimitCounter, DataFeatureFlag, AuthzAppMembership #1060. If those schemas change, these test seeds must be updated to match.

Notes

• All 52/52 CI checks pass, including the integration-tests (graphql/server-test) job that runs these tests against real PostgreSQL + MinIO.
• Alice's API seed uses is_public = false (not true) to match the server's isPublic: false configuration. The original upload tests use X-Schemata which bypasses API lookup entirely, so this doesn't affect them.
• Bob's RLS deliberately has no UPDATE/DELETE policies for anonymous — the absence of a policy means denial in PostgreSQL.
• Mallory's RLS is the strictest possible for anonymous: SELECT-only on both tables, no write access at all.
