[GrantFox][High] Audit administrator and upgrade authorization #1381

Description

@greatest0fallt1me

Summary

Audit administrator and upgrade authorization

Why this matters

Upgrade and emergency controls must not be reachable through alternate caller paths.

Scope

Create an entrypoint authorization matrix and test role transitions.

Acceptance criteria

  • All admin/upgrade paths reject unauthorized callers.
  • Role rotation cannot widen access unexpectedly.
  • Events identify the actor and action.
  • Negative tests cover every privileged variant.

Validation

Add regression coverage for existing behavior, failure modes, authorization boundaries, and compatibility. The implementation must pass the repository CI checks.

Non-goals

  • Typo-only, formatting-only, or documentation-only changes.
  • Unrelated refactors or dependency upgrades.
  • Weakening existing security, authorization, CI, or production safeguards.

Contributor application

Before implementation, comment with relevant experience, a 1–4 bullet approach, and an estimate for opening the first draft PR. Wait for maintainer assignment before coding.

PR requirements

Use a feature branch, include Closes #<issue-number>, check every acceptance criterion, link criteria to code/tests, explain security and failure-mode considerations, and pass CI.

Reward-readiness

This is a substantive GrantFox campaign issue. Merge and CI success do not by themselves guarantee reward eligibility; final reward-readiness is determined by campaign review.
