* fix(external-auth)!: match permission grant boundaries as patterns
The deployment allow/deny boundary and the delegation authorizer compared
permission strings with ordinal equality, so under the {resource}:{verb}
vocabulary they could not see wildcards. A deny list naming
'workflows/*:delete' did not deny 'workflows/definitions:delete', and a grant
of 'workflows/*:delete' outflanked a deny naming that leaf.
The bypass was reachable. ElsaRolePermissionGrantSource passes a role's
permissions to the boundary verbatim, survivors land in the issued token as
permission claims, and PermissionEvaluator does expand wildcards there. So an
ordinary role plus a deny list was enough, on every external sign-in, with no
privileged actor involved. Restoring the ordinal boundary under the new tests
fails seven of them.
Deny is now matched in both directions, allow one-directionally, both through
PermissionMatcher. A grant that is not a well-formed permission is dropped
with a warning rather than carried into a token it cannot authorize anything
in.
Five non-endpoint checks -- delegation, role-reference removal, unsafe
settings confirmation, the recovery override and the boundary itself -- also
still compared against the legacy ExternalAuthenticationPermissions
constants. Those carry two colons, so Permission.TryParse rejects them and no
principal can hold one, while the migration guide tells operators to replace
exactly those strings. All five now route through IPermissionEvaluator, and
the module registers AddElsaAuthorization itself instead of depending on host
ordering.
Non-core verbs move to ExternalAuthenticationVerbs, declared beside the
resources they apply to so a delegation check cannot spell one differently
from the endpoint it guards.

* style: apply IDE code cleanup to the diagnostics and identity modules
Redundant namespace qualifiers and usings removed, and primary-constructor
and record syntax applied, across Elsa.Diagnostics.ConsoleLogs,
Elsa.Diagnostics.StructuredLogs, Elsa.Expressions.JavaScript and
Elsa.Identity. Produced by a solution-wide IDE cleanup that ran alongside the
authorization work; separated from it so the permission changes can be
reviewed on their own.

* test(hosts): boot both hosts and assert their gated routes challenge
This repo runs two parallel feature systems, the classic Features/ path and
the CShells ShellFeatures/ path, and every module has to register in both.
Nothing exercised either. The unit and integration suites construct services
directly, so a module registered in one path and not the other, or a service
missing from one container, passes every test and fails only when a host
starts. Three bugs in #7980 were found by running these two hosts by hand,
two of them shell-versus-classic divergences.
Each host is booted through WebApplicationFactory, running its real Program
with full feature registration, and asked for a handful of routes it is
expected to serve behind a permission. A 404 means the module was never
registered, a 5xx means the endpoint was found but its dependencies could not
be constructed, and a 200 means no gate ran; only 401 passes. All routes are
reported together, so a feature system that stops registering a group of
modules reads as one failure rather than a queue of identical ones.
Removing AddExternalAuthenticationServices from the shell feature -- the
divergence this is built to catch -- fails the shell host on all five of its
routes while the classic host stays green.
The assertions go through HTTP rather than the container on purpose. The
hosts have different topologies: the classic host's root provider holds
everything and registers 125 routes, while CShells gives each shell its own
provider and mounts routes per shell, leaving 6 in the root. A container or
route-table assertion would have to encode that difference and would break
whenever CShells changed internally. Behaviour at the edge is host-agnostic,
and it is what actually has to match.
Each host gains a namespaced entry-point marker because both already declare
a Program in the global namespace, which a test project referencing both
cannot tell apart.
Coverage is off for this project: it references both hosts, so every module
either pulls in would enter its denominator without adding real coverage, and
coverlet cannot instrument a graph that size. TreatAsLocalProperty keeps CI's
/p:CollectCoverage=true from overriding that.

* fix(external-auth)!: fail closed on an unparseable grant boundary
Two findings from review, both real.
The grant boundary parsed its allow and deny lists and silently dropped what
would not parse. An allow list of nothing but malformed entries therefore
reduced to an empty set, and an empty allow list means unrestricted -- so a
typo turned the boundary off entirely and let external grant sources put
permissions straight into issued tokens. The deny side had the mirror of it:
a malformed entry quietly stopped denying what it named.
A boundary that does not parse now admits nothing, and
ExternalAuthenticationOptionsValidator rejects the configuration at startup,
so the mistake reaches an operator rather than a token. Failing startup is
what makes the runtime behaviour safe to be strict about: it cannot be hit by
someone mid-edit, only by validation having been bypassed.
ConnectionEndpointSupport.HasPermission was a sixth ad-hoc permission check,
missed when the other five were converted. It compared claim values against
the legacy ExternalAuthenticationPermissions constants at four call sites --
policy management on create and update, session revocation, and unsafe
settings confirmation -- and those constants carry two colons, so nothing can
hold one once a deployment follows the migration guide. It now routes through
IPermissionEvaluator like the rest, resolved from the request with a fallback
to the shared evaluator, the same way EndpointSecurity does it.

* style(external-auth): filter permission patterns with Where
Addresses a review nit on ValidatePermissionPatterns. Behaviour is unchanged:
a null list still iterates nothing, only malformed entries are reported, and
the message text is identical.

* fix(external-auth)!: apply the grant boundary to role permissions too
Token issuance concatenated the user's Elsa role permissions raw alongside
the boundary-filtered external grants. A permission the boundary had just
excluded during grant resolution therefore reappeared in the issued token
from the same roles, which made the deny list unenforceable for anything a
role carried and left ElsaRolePermissionGrantSource filtering nothing that
was not added back a moment later. The bypass did not even need that grant
source configured: role permissions reached the token regardless of which
sources a connection selected.
Both origins now pass the same boundary. Re-applying it at issuance also
picks up a boundary that changed since sign-in, since refreshing reissues.
This is a behaviour change for deployments that configured a boundary
expecting it to bound only claim-mapped permissions: an external login may
now carry fewer permissions than before. Deployments with no boundary
configured, the default, are unaffected -- every well-formed permission
passes. The migration guide describes both directions.

* fix: stop two silent serialization and test-isolation traps
Two follow-ups from #7957.
ExternalAuthentication tests: the same process-global
EndpointSecurityOptions.SecurityIsEnabled race the shells API tests had,
across the six classes in that assembly that build an endpoint host —
five setting it to false and IdentityLinkAuthorizationTests to true.
Unlike the shells case these all call UseAuthorization(), so it does not
surface as a missing-middleware error: anonymous endpoints answer
401/403, and the authorization test's endpoints come back AllowAnonymous
and stop enforcing what it asserts. A module initializer cannot fix it
since the assembly genuinely needs both values, so the six now share one
collection with DisableParallelization. They are also the only six that
build a host, so nothing else can observe a leaked value.
Unaliased payloads: a payload whose type has no registered serialization
alias is written without a _type discriminator and read back as an
ExpandoObject whose keys carry the state serializer's camel-case naming
policy, so a consumer that published Status finds status. The
degradation is deliberate — the alias registry is an allow-list that
keeps arbitrary CLR type names out of deserialization — but it was
silent. It is now reported once per type, naming the type and both
lossless alternatives, and PublishEvent.Payload documents them. Measured
across the integration suite, only genuine user payload types reach this
path, so the warning does not fire for Elsa's own types.

* fix: check the log level before claiming the once-per-type warning slot
WarnAboutUnaliasedType claimed a type's single report via TryAdd before
LogWarning applied its level filter, so a type first serialized while
Warning was disabled spent its slot on a call that logged nothing and
then stayed silent forever, including after the level was raised at
runtime. Check IsEnabled first, so the slot is only consumed by a report
that is actually emitted.
The regression test needs the capture to be the only logging provider:
IsEnabled on the composite logger is an OR across providers, so the test
builder's own xunit provider would otherwise keep Warning enabled
regardless of what the test asked for.
