Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Auth Bypass: Fail-closed gRPC authorization was introduced, but sibling gRPC methods or future additions may not register handlers, leaving them open.
Auth Bypass: Secondary authorization check for agent resources was added; the HTTP agent config path and any alternate API routes may not enforce the same resource-level checks.
Auth Bypass: API key authentication with resource checks was added; other authorization paths (e.g., secret token) may not validate resource scopes equivalently.
