📋 Description

Summary

Incomplete scope-clearing fix allows operator.admin escalation via trusted-proxy auth mode

Current Maintainer Triage

Normalized severity: high
Assessment: v2026.3.28 still misses trusted-proxy scope clearing for non-Control-UI clients, so self-declared operator scopes can survive on a real identity-bearing auth path; the complete fix is unreleased.
