Thomas Trompette 22a01dc1c6 Fix: password reset link returns FORBIDDEN for logged-in users (#21248) (#23335)
## Problem

Fixes #21248.

After upgrading, workspace members who open a password reset link while
a token pair still exists in local storage get a generic `You do not
have permission to perform this action.` (FORBIDDEN) error, blocking
account recovery.

## Root cause

Every GraphQL request passes through
`GraphQLHydrateRequestFromTokenMiddleware` before any resolver. If a
token is present it validates it; if no token is present it
short-circuits and lets the request through unauthenticated.

The reset flow was only ever designed for the unauthenticated case (the
user is logged out, so no token exists). Two intended changes broke that
assumption:

- A token pair now persists in local storage at reset time (unified
`accessOrWorkspaceAgnosticToken` + tokenPair moved off session cookies
into local storage).
- The Apollo auth link attaches `authorization: Bearer <token>` whenever
any token pair exists, regardless of the operation.

So the public `validatePasswordResetToken` /
`updatePasswordViaResetToken` operations now arrive with a token that
the middleware rejects, producing FORBIDDEN before the resolver runs.
Note: the `PublicEndpointGuard` / `NoPermissionGuard` on these resolvers
both just `return true` — they do not inspect headers and are not the
gate. The middleware is.

## Fix

Add a generic `skipAuthToken` operation-context flag. The auth link
omits the `Authorization` header when a request sets it, staying
agnostic of any specific operation or endpoint. The two public reset
operations opt in at their call site in `PasswordReset.tsx`.

This restores the exact unauthenticated path the flow was designed for,
regardless of whether a token pair happens to sit in local storage.
Nothing is reverted; all authenticated traffic is unaffected.

## Testing

Ran the built frontend against a local backend, logged in so a
`tokenPairState` was present in local storage, then opened a reset link
and inspected the outgoing `ValidatePasswordResetToken` request:

- Request headers: `accept`, `content-type`, `x-locale` only. No
`authorization` header, despite a token pair being present.
- With an invalid token the response is the resolver-level `Token is
invalid` error (it reaches the resolver) instead of the middleware's
FORBIDDEN.
- With a valid token the query succeeds (`validatePasswordResetToken`
returns the email + `hasPassword`) and the Set/Change Password form
renders, so the recovery flow completes.

Lint and typecheck pass on the changed files.
