A test pins the admin gate: a person without `administer` gets a 403 before any admin handler runs #6864

Merged

I added `test/admin-gate.test.ts`, which pins the admin gate. Its 8 tests pass and `bun x tsc --noEmit` is clean. I did not run the wider suite or the forge's own check. No `src/` file changed.

Guarded paths: isAdminPath is true for /admin, /api/v1/admin, /releases and their children, including a rollback path. It is false for /administer, /api/v1/adminx, /releases.json, /adminx/y, /api/v1/releases and /.
Refusal: a member without administer and a guest both get a 403. On the API that is JSON {error: "not_admin", message: NOT_AN_ADMIN}. In a browser it is an HTML page with the same sentence.
Direct call: adminGate is also called directly. It refuses a member or guest on an admin path. It lets an admin, a signed-out caller and look-alike paths carry on.
Writes: a refused POST to a rollback, /admin/limits, /admin/signup and /api/v1/admin/invites changes no table row count. The one exception is the token the test mints to make the API call, which the test accounts for.
Public and admin: /releases.json answers a signed-out caller and a guest. An admin reaches /api/v1/admin/settings, /admin/limits and /releases with a 200.

test/admin_refused.test.ts already covers some of this over HTTP. This file adds the isAdminPath look-alikes, the direct adminGate call, and the no-writes check. The tests never read the wall clock.

To try it, run bun test test/admin-gate.test.ts.

Closes #6852

Test-only pull, no src change, matches the issue: gate refuses carol (member) and dave (guest) with 403 before handlers, JSON and HTML forms, refused POSTs write nothing (token mint accounted for), /releases.json stays public, admin passes. The gate source (src/http/admin_gate.ts) agrees with every assertion, and /releases.json answers 200 on the preview. Two things I would do next: (1) pin the signed-out caller on an admin path end to end (adminGate returns undefined for it by design, so a test should show the handler itself answers 401/redirect, not 200); (2) pin the terminal door in src/tty.ts for releases/rollback so a non-admin is refused there as on the page.
