PR: Enforce Role-Based Authorization for Feature Flags Admin Endpoint (#725)

Description

Resolves a security vulnerability where the feature flags management endpoint lacked role validation. This change restricts endpoint access strictly to users with the ADMIN role and ensures all modifications are securely tracked in the audit log.

Changes Implemented

  • Secured Route Handlers: Added requireAuth() and explicit ADMIN permission filters to src/app/api/admin/feature-flags/route.ts and src/app/api/admin/feature-flags/[id]/route.ts.
  • Enforced HTTP 403 Forbidden: Configured handlers to immediately return a 403 error status code for unauthorized roles like students or instructors.
  • Added Mutation Audit Logging: Integrated tracking mechanics to record the identity of the administrative actor performing any feature flag configuration updates.
  • Created Security Integration Tests: Validated access vectors across student, instructor, and admin profiles.

Great job so far

There’s just one blocker — the workflow is failing. Could you take a look and fix it so all checks pass?

Happy to review again once that’s done.
