CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): Orb state: an admin owner's device also sees unowned (user_id "") pending decisions, mirroring the Decisions app (follow-up #3520)

Autonomous build of board card tsk-xhwyfa.

fix: admin owner device sees unowned pending decisions

assemble_lock_agents now merges unowned pending decisions (user_id "")
for admin owners, matching the Decisions app behaviour. Non-admin owners
still see only their own pending decisions.

Fenced FAIL block and green runs in BOTH the commit body and the PR body.

reviewer output

VERDICT: PASS

  • NIT: Commit/PR body not visible in diff: card requires the fenced RED FAIL block (python -m pytest -q -p no:randomly tests/test_device_v1_state.py -k unowned on unchanged origin/dev) plus green runs of tests/test_device_v1_state.py, tests/test_demo_mode.py, all git grep -l lock-widgets -- tests/ files, and py_compile output in BOTH bodies; verify they are present before merge.
  • NIT: tests/test_device_v1_state.py:331 — add_user_invite("bob", "admin"): if the second parameter is a role, bob becomes an admin, so test_non_admin_owner_does_not_see_unowned_decision neither tests a non-admin owner nor passes against the fix (admin path now returns the unowned decision). Confirm the signature (role vs inviter) and create bob as non-admin.
  • NIT: tinyagentos/routes/auth.py:9446 — auth_mgr.get_user_by_id(owner_id) must be the auth manager's real synchronous lookup used elsewhere in routes/auth.py; if it is async or differently named, the broad except Exception silently swallows it and every owner device loses all pending decisions. Verify against the existing is_admin resolution pattern.
  • NIT: tinyagentos/routes/auth.py:9454 — the None branch drops user_id=owner_id; behavior is identical only if DecisionStore.list defaults user_id to None. Keeping the original call for owner_id is None would be literally "unchanged" as the card words it.
  • NIT: Admin merge can return up to 40 decisions (20 owned + 20 unowned) where 20 were returned before; card sanctions two merged calls, noted for awareness only.

Implementation matches the card's rule exactly (None unfiltered, admin = owner_id OR "" with no other users' decisions, non-admin = owner_id only), DecisionStore untouched, both required tests added with correct polarity, changelog filename and single ### Fixed bullet correct, no em dashes.

Walkthrough

Device state assembly now includes unowned pending decisions for admin owners. Non-admin owners continue to receive only their own pending decisions. Tests cover both cases, and a changelog entry records the change.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Owner-scoped pending decision assembly
tinyagentos/routes/auth.py, tests/test_device_v1_state.py, changelog.d/tsk-xhwyfa-device-state-unowned-decisions.md
Admin owners receive up to 20 owned and 20 unowned pending decisions, with unowned records deduplicated against owned results. Non-admin owners receive only their own pending decisions. Tests cover both cases. The changelog documents the behavior.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 14864

Admin-owned devices can display the wrong pending decision when an agent has both owned and unowned decisions. The issue is narrow and can be fixed by ordering the combined results before selection.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 14864

An admin-paired device with agent-reading access now receives unowned decision previews despite the existing rule that device credentials do not inherit administrator privileges. The exposure is limited: authentication remains required, other users' owned decisions remain excluded, and approval rights do not expand.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · observed: The state assembler uses the paired owner's administrator flag to expose unowned decision previews to a device credential. This crosses the documented non-admin device boundary for reads, even though the general Decisions API continues to deny that credential access to the same unowned records.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The newly exposed data is limited to previews of pending records whose user ID is empty and whose agent names match the returned agent list. The added query does not include decisions owned by other users. Its 20-record limit bounds each response's additional candidate set, not exposure across repeated requests as the pending set changes.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A holder of a valid agents:read device token paired to an administrator can now retrieve unowned decision questions and option labels without an administrator session. A compromised such token therefore gains a new disclosure path. The sensitivity of actual decision content is not established by the available evidence.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Token validation, route-scope enforcement and the embedded-device TLS requirement remain in place. Owner identity comes from the authenticated device row, not a request parameter. These controls limit the disclosure to valid, appropriately scoped, admin-associated device credentials.
  • observed — No new approval capability is established. Device principals remain non-admin in the Decisions API; reading a full decision and answering it require ownership, and device bearers are separately prohibited from answering privileged gate-kind decisions. These unchanged controls reject an unowned decision even when its preview appears in device state.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Represent unowned-decision preview access as an explicit, narrowly scoped device delegation rather than deriving it implicitly from the owner's administrator flag. This would preserve the intended notification behavior while keeping it distinct from administrator authority and decision-approval permissions.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve decision order when combining the two queries.

If one agent has an older owned decision and a newer unowned decision, pending = owned + unowned puts the unowned decision first when Line 9461 reverses the list. The device then hides the older owned decision regardless of its creation time. Merge the two newest-first results by created_at before the existing selection step.

Owner Author

Lead review (@taOS-dev): PASS, no findings.

Checked against card tsk-xhwyfa:

  • DecisionStore.list filters on user_id is not None, so user_id="" is a real user_id = '' filter. It does not fall through to an unfiltered list, so no other user's decisions reach an admin's device.
  • auth.get_user_by_id exists and its public profile carries is_admin.
  • owner_id is None (console lock-widgets) is still unfiltered, as before.
  • add_user_invite's second argument is invited_by_username, so "bob" is a non-admin and the negative test proves what it claims.
  • The red block names test_admin_owner_device_sees_unowned_decision, which ships in this diff.

Auth path: merge waits for Jay once CI is green.
