* refactor(auth): remove the vestigial per-author script permission plumbing
#7975 is closed won't-do: authoring a workflow is a trusted act, and a
per-author gate would not change what a script can do once it runs. The host
switch stays the control, and it is per language, so an untrusted author gets
a host with the switch off rather than a permission.
That settles what the code was still half-carrying. WorkflowDefinitionScriptAuthorizationService
took a ClaimsPrincipal it never read, and could return a MissingPermission
reason nothing produced; two call sites branched on that reason to send a 403
that could not happen. The expression-descriptor endpoint kept a map from
expression type to per-author permission whose values went unused even before
the permissions were retired -- it only ever tested membership, and the
decision was always IsBrowsable. Each of these reads as an authorization gate
to anyone scanning the file, and none of them is one.
The principal, the unreachable reason, and both dead branches are gone. The
map becomes a set of the expression types the host can switch off, which is
what it was actually being used as. Behaviour is unchanged: the only failure
is a language the host disabled, which is a property of the deployment and
so a 400 naming the switch, never a 403.
PermissionNames loses ExecuteCSharpExpressions and ExecutePythonExpressions,
which existed only for that map and the test mirroring it. Five other legacy
constants there are also unreferenced but belong to other modules; they are
left alone rather than swept up here.
Two tests asserting the host-and-user case were exact duplicates of the
host-only case once the principal stopped mattering, so they go with it.
The migration guide said deployments lose per-author granularity "until
#7975 lands" and advised disabling host code until then. That promise is
withdrawn and replaced with the actual guidance.
Closes#7975

* docs(wiki): drop the retired exec:* permissions from the scripting guide
Review found doc/wiki/expressions-and-scripting.md still telling operators
that API callers "must have the exec:csharp-expressions permission" to
author, publish, dispatch or execute workflows containing C#, and the same
for Python. Those permissions no longer exist, so the instruction cannot be
followed and describes a gate that is not there.
Both sections now say what is actually true: the host switch is the whole
control, there is no per-caller permission because a workflow runs under the
server's authority rather than the caller's, and an untrusted author gets a
host with the switch off. The switches are noted as independent, since
enabling Python while leaving C# off is a real posture.
My earlier sweep searched for the issue number rather than the permission
strings, which is why this file was missed.
