ahmido eceeee9c5c Complete Spec 287 prerequisite cutover (#346)
## Summary
- retire the remaining tenant-scoped provider-connection legacy routes and update canonical verification and link behavior
- complete the provider target-scope fallback cleanup so neutral shared scope data falls back to the managed environment when the raw connection tenant identifier is blank
- stop mirroring workspace roles into managed-environment scope persistence and cut the targeted admin-panel test helpers over to the post-cutover context path
- add and update the Spec 287 artifact package and targeted regression coverage for route retirement, provider-core neutralization, workspace-first RBAC, and helper cutover

## Validation
- `cd apps/platform && ./vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact tests/Feature/ProviderConnections/LegacyRedirectTest.php tests/Feature/ProviderConnections/TenantlessListRouteTest.php tests/Feature/ProviderConnections/TenantlessListScopingTest.php tests/Feature/Auth/WorkspaceFirstManagedEnvironmentAccessTest.php tests/Feature/Rbac/ProviderConnectionWorkspaceFirstPolicyTest.php tests/Feature/Reviews/CustomerReviewWorkspaceLaunchLinksTest.php tests/Feature/Rbac/TriageReviewStateAuthorizationTest.php`
- `cd apps/platform && ./vendor/bin/sail artisan test --compact tests/Browser/Spec281ProviderConnectionScopeSmokeTest.php tests/Browser/Spec285WorkspaceRbacEnvironmentAccessSmokeTest.php`
- `cd apps/platform && ./vendor/bin/sail bin pint --dirty --format agent`

## Notes
- Filament remains on Livewire v4 and provider registration stays unchanged in `apps/platform/bootstrap/providers.php`.
- No new asset registration or deployment-step changes are included in this slice.

Research: Cutover Prerequisite Completion

Decision 1: Spec 287 now completes prerequisites; Spec 288 owns enforcement

  • Use this package to finish the remaining runtime and test-harness seams that still block quality-gates / no-legacy enforcement.
  • Do not add a guard suite, a full-suite baseline, or global quality gates here.
  • Keep the follow-up boundary explicit: Spec 288 starts after this runtime baseline exists.

Decision 2: Retire the provider-connection legacy route family instead of guarding it

  • The provider-connection legacy alias family in apps/platform/routes/web.php is a runtime seam, not an enforcement-only concern.
  • Remove it in this slice so later enforcement can guard the completed route truth instead of compensating for it.

Decision 3: Finish provider target-scope core neutralization on shared seams only

  • Neutralize the shared provider-core contract where repo truth still depends on Microsoft-shaped identity or target-scope fields.
  • Keep Microsoft-specific tenant/profile, consent, and support detail nested under provider-owned seams only.
  • Do not add a new provider profile table, registry, or framework.

Decision 4: Complete workspace-first access persistence instead of layering more RBAC logic

  • Treat workspace membership as the only role-bearing truth.
  • Finish the cleanup that keeps managed-environment scope narrowing-only.
  • Do not introduce a second role system, a compatibility shim, or a new role family.

Decision 5: Replace tenant-panel-era test helpers with post-cutover admin or workspace helpers

  • apps/platform/tests/Pest.php still carries tenant-panel-era setup such as setTenantPanelContext() and related legacy profile alias helpers.
  • Replace the retired panel assumption on the shared helper path and the in-slice direct consumers tests/Feature/Reviews/CustomerReviewWorkspaceLaunchLinksTest.php plus tests/Feature/Rbac/TriageReviewStateAuthorizationTest.php.
  • Do not turn this into a broad test-suite rewrite; keep it to the helpers and direct consumers needed by this slice.

Decision 6: Validation must stay targeted

  • Use focused feature tests and targeted browser validation for the changed seams only.
  • Do not add a global guard family, broad source-scan package, or full-suite baseline under this spec.

Rejected Alternatives

Rejected: keep 287 as a blocked no-legacy guard package

That would force the later enforcement slice to compete with unfinished runtime work and would keep the package blocked for the wrong reason.

Rejected: solve the route and helper drift with compatibility aliases

That would preserve the same ambiguity that Spec 288 is supposed to eliminate.

Rejected: introduce a new provider profile or access-scope framework

The existing seams are already sufficient; they need completion, not a second architectural layer.

Rejected: use a full-suite baseline as the proof requirement

The slice is bounded and should prove only the changed seams.

Evidence Anchors

  • apps/platform/routes/web.php still contains /admin/tenants/{tenant:slug}/provider-connections redirect routes.
  • apps/platform/app/Support/Providers/TargetScope/ProviderConnectionTargetScopeNormalizer.php and related provider-core seams still participate in the shared target-scope contract that this slice completes.
  • apps/platform/app/Services/Auth/TenantMembershipManager.php still persists managed-environment membership records with copied workspace role values.
  • apps/platform/tests/Pest.php still contains setTenantPanelContext() and createUserWithTenantLegacyProfileAliases().
  • The in-slice direct consumer tests tests/Feature/Reviews/CustomerReviewWorkspaceLaunchLinksTest.php and tests/Feature/Rbac/TriageReviewStateAuthorizationTest.php still depend on the retired tenant-panel helper path.

Implementation Boundary Summary

  • The package is implementation-ready as a bounded prerequisite-completion slice.
  • It is no longer a blocked-by-prerequisites guard package.
  • If implementation starts adding guard suites, full-suite baselines, or adjacent feature work, stop and split that work out of 287.
  • The canonical executable command set lives only in spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md, and quickstart.md; this artifact intentionally references that command authority without restating a second command set.
