P0 fix(middleware): add missing return after AbortWithStatusJSON in CanvasOrBearer

[molecule-ai]

P0 Security Fix — CanvasOrBearer Auth Bypass (Audit #35)

Severity: P0 | Confirmed by Core-OffSec Audit #35 on origin/main @ a59f1a6

Bug

CanvasOrBearer final else branch calls c.AbortWithStatusJSON(401) without return.
Execution falls through to c.Next(), allowing the downstream handler to overwrite
the 401 response. Cosmetic route only (PUT /canvas/viewport) — CVSS Low.

Confirmed on

• origin/main @ a59f1a6
• origin/staging (current staging SHA)

Fix

+return after c.AbortWithStatusJSON — single line.

Regression tests

• TestCanvasOrBearer_TokensExist_NoCreds_Returns401: asserts handler NOT called
• TestCanvasOrBearer_TokensExist_WrongOrigin_Returns401: asserts handler NOT called

Audit context

Audit #35 (Core-OffSec) flagged this as re-introduced by PR #2018. The fix
is a targeted re-application of the confirmed-correct fix from prior audit cycles.

[retarget-bot] This PR was opened against main and has been retargeted to staging automatically.

Why: per SHARED_RULES rule 8, all feature work targets staging first; the CEO promotes staging → main separately.

What changed: just the base branch — no code change. CI will re-run against staging. If you get merge conflicts, rebase on staging.

If this PR is the CEO's staging→main promotion: the Action skipped you (only bot-authored PRs are retargeted). If you see this comment on your CEO PR, that's a bug — please tag @HongmingWang-Rabbit.

QA + Security Review

PR #2050 — P0 CanvasOrBearer missing return fix + regression tests

Fix (1 line): Adds `return` after `AbortWithStatusJSON` in `CanvasOrBearer` at wsauth_middleware.go:307. Closes Issue #2031. Prevents requests from continuing after auth rejection.

Regression tests (+11 lines):

• `TestCanvasOrBearer_TokensExist_NoCreds_Returns401`: Sets `handlerCalled` flag, asserts it stays `false` after 401. Guards against future accidental removal of the `return`.
• `TestCanvasOrBearer_TokensExist_WrongOrigin_Returns401`: Same pattern for the wrong-origin path.
• Both tests fail on the vulnerable code (no return) and pass on the fixed code.

Why better than PR #2038: PR #2050 adds the regression tests that PR #2038 lacks. PR #2038 only has the 1-line fix.

CI: Platform (Go) ✅, CodeQL ✅, E2E API Smoke ✅

Recommendation: APPROVE. Merge before PR #2038 (same fix + tests beats fix alone).
