Recurring patterns

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

Auth Bypass: Multiple fixes address missing ownership checks when linking conclusions, relabeling events, and querying deleted search indices, indicating a systemic gap in validating that resources belong to the user's sketch.

Auth Bypass: A critical fix corrected login form validation never being executed, and multiple OIDC-related fixes (redirect, issuer, client ID, domain checks) show the authentication layer is a high-risk surface with frequent bypasses.

Auth Bypass: Analyzer execution and result retrieval lacked sketch-scoping and permission checks, allowing read-only users to run analyzers or access results from other sketches.
