fix: always take the owner id from the verified token

[paccloud]

The save-calculation and contributor-profile endpoints spread the request body after the authenticated user id, so a userId field in the body could override it. The body is now spread first and the token's id is applied last, in both backends (api/saved-calcs.js, api/contributor.js, server/server.js).

This PR used to fix the public email exposure as well. #119 has since fixed that on main with consent-aware attribution. This branch now uses main's version of those files, so all that's left here is the owner-id fix.

Testing

• apiOwnerIdFromToken.test.js calls the production Vercel handlers with a mocked database and checks that a body userId is ignored on save-calc and on contributor save. Both tests fail on the old code.
• npm test: 2305 passed. npm run lint: 0 errors. npm run build: passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Saved calculations and contributor profiles now use the authenticated account and mapped client, preventing request data from assigning them to different accounts or clients.
  • Community data and exports no longer substitute usernames for contributor names. Blank contributor names are shown as unavailable.

Walkthrough

Write handlers now apply authenticated user IDs and mapped client IDs after request data. Community data queries and CSV exports use trimmed contributor display names, return NULL for blank names, and no longer join the users table.

Changes

Identity and Contributor Data

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Trusted write identity api/contributor.js, api/saved-calcs.js, server/server.js, app/src/lib/__tests__/apiOwnerIdFromToken.test.js	Write handlers apply authenticated user IDs after request fields. Calculation saves also apply the mapped client ID. Tests submit a conflicting body userId and check the database query parameters.
Contributor name queries server/server.js	Community data and CSV queries return trimmed contributor display names, use NULL for blank names, and no longer join users for username fallbacks.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 190d5

Saves now use the authenticated identity instead of a body-supplied one, and blank contributor names no longer surface a blank heading. The only open item is a suggestion to make the ownership tests more precise, so the merge risk is minimal.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 190d5

The changes strengthen ownership checks and remove an account-identifier fallback from public data. A remaining security finding concerns the strength of the new validation, but the reviewed write paths do not show a newly introduced production bypass.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The former body-override behavior made another account's saved-calculation ownership or contributor profile the relevant exposure for an authenticated attacker. On the inspected head paths, token-derived ownership prevents that request-body transition; public attribution is independently reachable without authentication but no longer draws from account usernames.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• observed — A retained reportable security finding is anchored to the new mocked contributor-save test. The test excludes the attacker-supplied ID from query parameters and checks that the authenticated ID occurs somewhere, but does not assert its exact update position. The inspected production update uses the authenticated ID in its owner predicate; the supplied attack-path assessment marks the finding unreachable in production. No PR-introduced cross-owner write was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The API rejects requests without a verified user before assigning the request identity; the SQLite server authenticates bearer credentials before its protected routes. Both inspected contributor and calculation save routes append that identity after attacker-controlled body fields.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The new ownership tests mock both authentication and database queries. They exercise route wiring, not deployed credential verification, database constraints, or concurrent first-time contributor creation.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — To guard against future ownership drift, assert the exact owner parameter for each calculation insert and contributor update or insert, and exercise the same boundary with real authentication and database integration where practical.
