fix(tests): set premium_user=True in JWT tests that call user_api_key_auth

[jquinter]

Summary

Four JWT tests in tests/proxy_unit_tests/test_jwt.py were failing with:

ValueError: JWT Auth is an enterprise only feature. You must be a LiteLLM Enterprise user...

Because user_api_key_auth gates enable_jwt_auth behind the enterprise license check:

if general_settings.get("enable_jwt_auth", False) is True:
    if premium_user is not True:
        raise ValueError("JWT Auth is an enterprise only feature. ...")

The tests set enable_jwt_auth: True but did not set premium_user = True, causing them to hit the gate instead of testing JWT logic.

Fix

Add setattr(litellm.proxy.proxy_server, "premium_user", True) immediately before the general_settings setattr in each failing test — the same pattern used by PR #21285.

Affected tests:

• test_team_token_output
• test_allowed_routes_admin
• test_allow_access_by_email
• test_end_user_jwt_auth

Relation to PR #21634

These failures are not related to PR #21634 (which only touches litellm/llms/azure/azure.py). The same test failures are present on main independently.

Test plan

• test_allow_access_by_email[ishaan@berri.ai-True] passes locally after fix
• test_end_user_jwt_auth passes locally after fix
• test_team_token_output and test_allowed_routes_admin require a live DB (CI) — the enterprise gate was the first failure; fixing it unblocks the JWT logic tests

Greptile Summary

Fixed four failing JWT tests by setting premium_user=True before enabling JWT auth. The tests were hitting an enterprise license gate in user_api_key_auth that prevents JWT authentication without a premium license.

Changes:

• Added setattr(litellm.proxy.proxy_server, "premium_user", True) to four tests
• Placement is consistent: immediately before general_settings setattr
• Pattern matches previous fix in PR fix(test): mock enterprise license check in JWT test #21285

Tests fixed:

• test_team_token_output
• test_allowed_routes_admin
• test_allow_access_by_email
• test_end_user_jwt_auth

All four tests call user_api_key_auth and enable JWT auth, making them subject to the enterprise check. The remaining seven tests in the file don't call user_api_key_auth and therefore don't need this fix.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge - it's a minimal, well-targeted test fix
• The changes are test-only, follow an established pattern from PR fix(test): mock enterprise license check in JWT test #21285, target exactly the right tests (verified that all 4 tests call user_api_key_auth and enable JWT auth), and use consistent placement. The fix is minimal and addresses the root cause of test failures without modifying any production code.
• No files require special attention
