Marie bf22373315 Fix: use user role for OAuth tokens bearing user context (#18954)
see [discord
discussion](https://discord.com/channels/1130383047699738754/1486299347091198054/1486299351520383116)

## Summary

When an OAuth application token carries both `applicationId` and
`userId`/`userWorkspaceId`, the auth context now uses the **user's
role** for permissions instead of the application's `defaultRoleId`.

This fixes the case where external clients authenticating via OAuth
(e.g. a client's external AI chat) were getting the app's permissions
instead of the authenticated user's.

### What changed

- **`jwt.auth.strategy.ts`** (`validateApplicationToken`): when an
application token includes user info, also resolve `workspaceMemberId`
and `workspaceMember` from the workspace cache (same pattern as
`validateAccessToken`)
- **`workspace-auth-context.middleware.ts`** (`buildAuthContext`): when
both `application` and `user` (with
`workspaceMemberId`/`workspaceMember`) are present on the request, build
a `UserWorkspaceAuthContext` instead of
`ApplicationWorkspaceAuthContext`. Falls back to application context if
workspace member cannot be resolved.

### Places impacted by this change (no code changes, behavior changes)

These places check `isApplicationAuthContext` or resolve roles from auth
context. Since hybrid tokens (OAuth with user) now produce a
`UserWorkspaceAuthContext`, they naturally flow into the
`isUserAuthContext` branches:

| File | Impact |
|------|--------|
| `permissions.service.ts` —
`resolveRolePermissionConfigFromAuthContext` | OAuth+user now uses
user's role via `isUserAuthContext` branch instead of
`application.defaultRoleId` |
| `common-api-context-builder.service.ts` — `getObjectsPermissions` |
Same — OAuth+user falls into `isUserAuthContext` branch |
| `common-base-query-runner.service.ts` — `getRoleIdOrThrow` | Same —
OAuth+user falls into `isUserAuthContext` branch |
| `actor-from-auth-context.service.ts` — `buildActorMetadata` | Records
created via OAuth+user will show the **user's name** as actor instead of
the application's name |
| `message-find-one.post-query.hook.ts` | OAuth+user now passes the
`isUserAuthContext` check (previously would fail unless it was the
Twenty standard application) |
| `front-component.resolver.ts` | Front component tokens include
`userId` — they will now correctly use the user's role, fixing a
pre-existing permission escalation where a user could access data
through a front component's app role that exceeded their own |
| `logic-function-executor.service.ts` | **Not impacted** — only
generates tokens with `applicationId` (no `userId`) |

Why Twenty

We built Twenty for three reasons:

CRMs are too expensive, and users are trapped. Companies use locked-in customer data to hike prices. It shouldn't be that way.

A fresh start is required to build a better experience. We can learn from past mistakes and craft a cohesive experience inspired by new UX patterns from tools like Notion, Airtable or Linear.

We believe in open-source and community. Hundreds of developers are already building Twenty together. Once we have plugin capabilities, a whole ecosystem will grow around it.
