CARD TITLE (intent, not commit subject): SECURITY: notifications read paths ignore user_id — list/list_archived/unread_count return every user's rows and per-id read/dismiss/archive act cross-user (CWE-862, found on #2716 review)

Autonomous build of board card tsk-7uxooi.

list, list_archived, unread_count, mark_read, archive, and mark_all_read
now filter on user_id IS NULL OR user_id = ?, so a caller only sees and
can modify their own notifications plus broadcasts. Routes pass the current
user through get_current_user; cross-user mutations return 404.

Red tests added in tests/test_notifications_user_scope.py covering store
and route scoping. Pre-fix: 13 failed (TypeError / missing user_id param).
Post-fix: 88 notification tests pass, including the 13 new red tests.

Docs-Reviewed: routes/notifications.py changes only add user scoping to
existing notification endpoints; docs/agent-coordination.md does not
document these routes so no doc update needed.

SUGGESTION: Weak assertion — assert "1" in resp.text is satisfied by any count containing the digit 1 (e.g. 11, 21, 100). The badge HTML embeds the count both in the body and in data-count, so the route scope test should pin the exact value to make a future cross-user regression impossible to silently mask.

Suggested change
assert "1" in resp.text
assert f"data-count='1'" in resp.text and ">1</span>" in resp.text

Notes

The CWE-862 fix is correct: list, list_archived, unread_count, mark_read, archive, and mark_all_read now consistently filter on (user_id IS NULL OR user_id = ?), and every route mutation passes the session user through get_current_user + _notif_user_id, returning 404 on cross-user attempts. SQL placeholder ordering in list/list_archived/unread_count matches the dynamic condition list, so parameter binding is safe. The pre-existing archive_by_source_ref/cleanup global paths are explicitly documented as intentional and remain unchanged. Pre-existing test infrastructure (tests/conftest.py:client fixture) already supplies a session cookie and CSRF hooks, so the new auth requirement does not regress existing test_notifications.py, test_notifications_mark_all.py, test_taosctl_notifications.py, or test_agent_alias.py cases.

Lead review — blocked, superseded by fix-forward card tsk-47baqy (BASE: exec/tsk-7uxooi). The store-side scoping and the semantics are right and are kept; the route side changes the auth gate the card said not to touch.

L1 (measured): every route now depends on get_current_user, which reads only the taos_session cookie. The middleware also admits the local token as Authorization: Bearer and maps it to the primary user via request.state.user_id (auth_middleware.py:546-573) — that is how taosctl notifications list|read|read-all|mark-all-read|count authenticate (cli/taosctl/client.py:70). Real-app probe with auth.get_local_token(), no cookie, GET /api/notifications and /count: origin/dev 200/200, this branch 401/401. Fix is the repo idiom (routes/event_stream.py:45): resolve getattr(request.state, "user_id", None) and 401 on None.

L2: on origin/dev 11 of the 13 new tests fail with TypeError: list() got an unexpected keyword argument 'user_id'; the three mutation-404 tests never reached their assertion on base because their setup calls the scoped store.list(user_id=...). The red must be the leak, not the signature.

L3 (nit): test_list_archived_returns_own_only picks rows by position from list() while every row shares the same whole-second timestamp.

Details and the DONE-WHEN list are on the card.
