Add comprehensive URL validation with configurable network access controls
for gateway and tool URL endpoints. This allows operators to control which
network ranges are accessible based on their deployment environment.

New configuration options:
- SSRF_PROTECTION_ENABLED: Master switch for URL validation (default: true)
- SSRF_ALLOW_LOCALHOST: Allow localhost/loopback (default: true for dev)
- SSRF_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORKS: Allow RFC 1918 ranges (default: true)
- SSRF_DNS_FAIL_CLOSED: Reject unresolvable hostnames (default: false)
- SSRF_BLOCKED_NETWORKS: CIDR ranges to always block
- SSRF_BLOCKED_HOSTS: Hostnames to always block

Features:
- Validates all resolved IP addresses (A and AAAA records)
- Normalizes hostnames (case-insensitive, trailing dot handling)
- Blocks cloud metadata endpoints by default (169.254.169.254, etc.)
- Dev-friendly defaults with strict mode available for production
- Full documentation and Helm chart support

Also includes minor admin UI formatting improvements.

… forwarding

- Add token_teams parameter to list_servers and list_gateways endpoints
  for proper scoping based on JWT token team claims
- Update server_service.list_servers() and gateway_service.list_gateways()
  to filter results by token scope (public-only, team-scoped, or unrestricted)
- Skip caching for token-scoped queries to prevent cross-user data leakage
- Update gateway forwarding (_forward_request_to_all) to respect token team scope
- Fix public-only token handling in create endpoints (tools, resources, prompts,
  servers, gateways, A2A agents) to reject team/private visibility
- Preserve None vs [] distinction in SSE/WebSocket for proper admin bypass
- Update get_team_from_token to distinguish missing teams (legacy fallback)
  from explicit empty teams (public-only access)
- Add request.state.token_teams storage in all auth paths for downstream access

Introduces a centralized `normalize_token_teams()` function in auth.py
that provides consistent token team normalization across all code paths:

- Missing teams key → empty list (public-only access)
- Explicit null teams + admin flag → None (admin bypass)
- Explicit null teams without admin → empty list (public-only)
- Empty teams array → empty list (public-only)
- Team list → normalized string IDs (team-scoped)

Additional changes:
- Update _get_token_teams_from_request() to use normalized teams
- Fix caching in server/gateway services to only cache public-only queries
- Fix server creation visibility parameter precedence
- Update token_scoping middleware to use normalize_token_teams()
- Add comprehensive unit tests for token normalization behavior

The WebSocket /ws endpoint now propagates authentication credentials
when making internal requests to /rpc:

- Forward JWT token as Authorization header when present
- Forward proxy user header when trust_proxy_auth is enabled
- Enables WebSocket transport to work with AUTH_REQUIRED=true

Also adds unit tests to verify auth credential forwarding behavior.

- Add @require_permission decorators to all 177 admin routes with
  allow_admin_bypass=False to enforce explicit permission checks
- Add allow_admin_bypass parameter to require_permission and
  require_any_permission decorators for configurable admin bypass
- Add has_admin_permission() method to PermissionService for checking
  admin-level access (is_admin, *, or admin.* permissions)
- Update AdminAuthMiddleware to use has_admin_permission() for
  coarse-grained admin UI access control
- Create shared test fixtures in tests/unit/mcpgateway/conftest.py
  for mocking PermissionService across unit tests

Address load test findings from RCA #1 and #2:

- Add `db: Session = Depends(get_db)` to routes in email_auth.py,
  llm_config_router.py, and teams.py that use @require_permission
- Fix test files to pass mock_db parameter after signature changes
- Add shm_size: 256m to PostgreSQL in docker-compose.yml
- Remove non-serializable content from resource update events
- Disable CircuitBreaker plugin for consistent load testing

These changes fix the NoneType errors (~33,700) observed under 4000
concurrent users where current_user_ctx["db"] was always None.

Remaining critical issue: Transaction leak in streamablehttp_transport.py
causing idle-in-transaction connections (see todo/rca2.md for details).

Critical fixes for load test failures at 4000 concurrent users:

Issue #1 - Transaction leak in streamablehttp_transport.py (CRITICAL):
- Add explicit asyncio.CancelledError handling in get_db() context manager
- When MCP handlers are cancelled (client disconnect, timeout), the finally
  block may not execute properly, leaving transactions "idle in transaction"
- Now explicitly rollback and close before re-raising CancelledError
- Add rollback in direct SessionLocal usage at line ~1425

Issue #2 - Missing db parameter in admin routes (HIGH):
- Add `db: Session = Depends(get_db)` to 73 remaining admin routes
- Routes with @require_permission but no db param caused decorator to
  create fresh session via fresh_db_session() for EVERY permission check
- This doubled connection usage for affected routes under load

Issue #3 - Slow recovery from transaction leaks (MEDIUM):
- Reduce IDLE_TRANSACTION_TIMEOUT from 300s to 30s in docker-compose.yml
- Reduce CLIENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT from 300s to 60s
- Leaked transactions now killed faster, preventing pool exhaustion

Root cause confirmed: list_resources() MCP handler was primary source,
with 155+ connections stuck on `SELECT resources.*` for up to 273 seconds.

See todo/rca2.md for full analysis including live test data showing
connection leak progression and 606+ idle transaction timeout errors.

- Update request_to_join_team and leave_team to use dict-based user context
- Fix teams router to use get_current_user_with_permissions consistently
- Move /discover route before /{team_id} to prevent route shadowing
- Update test fixtures to use mock_user_context dict format
- Add transaction commits in resource_service to prevent connection leaks
- Add missing docstring parameters for flake8 compliance

Add explicit db.commit(); db.close() calls to 100+ endpoints across
all routers to prevent PostgreSQL connection leaks under high load.

Problem: Under high concurrency, FastAPI's Depends(get_db) cleanup
runs after response serialization, causing transactions to remain
in 'idle in transaction' state for 20-30+ seconds, exhausting the
connection pool.

Solution: Explicitly commit and close database sessions immediately
after database operations complete, before response serialization.

Routers fixed:
- tokens.py: 10 endpoints (create, list, get, update, revoke, usage, admin, team tokens)
- llm_config_router.py: 14 endpoints (provider/model CRUD, health, gateway models)
- sso.py: 5 endpoints (SSO provider CRUD)
- email_auth.py: 3 endpoints (user create/update/delete)
- oauth_router.py: 1 endpoint (delete_registered_client)
- teams.py: 18 endpoints (team CRUD, members, invitations, join requests)
- rbac.py: 12 endpoints (roles, user roles, permissions)
- main.py: 14 CUD + 3 list + 7 RPC handlers

Also fixes:
- admin.py: Rename 21 unused db params to _db (pylint W0613)
- test_teams*.py: Add mock_db fixture to tests calling router functions directly
- Add llms/audit-db-transaction-management.md for future audits

The RPC list_gateways handler had two bugs:
1. Did not unpack the tuple (gateways, next_cursor) returned by
   gateway_service.list_gateways(), causing 'list' object has no
   attribute 'model_dump' error
2. Was missing token scoping via _get_rpc_filter_context(), which
   was the original R-02 security fix

Also fixed all callers of list_gateways that expected a list but
now receive a tuple:
- mcpgateway/admin.py: get_gateways_section()
- mcpgateway/services/import_service.py: 3 call sites

Updated test mocks to return (list, None) tuples instead of lists.

The teams router was calling db.commit(); db.close() before building
the TeamResponse, but TeamResponse includes team.get_member_count()
which needs an active session. When the session is closed, the fallback
in get_member_count() tries to access self.members (lazy-loaded),
causing "Parent instance is not bound to a Session" errors.

Fixed by building TeamResponse BEFORE calling db.close() in:
- create_team
- get_team
- update_team

The service's update_team() returns bool, but the router was treating
the return value as a team object and trying to access .id, .name, etc.

Fixed by:
1. Checking the boolean return value for success
2. Fetching the team again after successful update to build the response

The service's update_member_role() returns bool, but the router

* fix(rbac): add explicit db dependency to RBAC-protected routes

Address load test findings from RCA IBM#1 and IBM#2:

- Add `db: Session = Depends(get_db)` to routes in email_auth.py,
  llm_config_router.py, and teams.py that use @require_permission
- Fix test files to pass mock_db parameter after signature changes
- Add shm_size: 256m to PostgreSQL in docker-compose.yml
- Remove non-serializable content from resource update events
- Disable CircuitBreaker plugin for consistent load testing

These changes fix the NoneType errors (~33,700) observed under 4000
concurrent users where current_user_ctx["db"] was always None.

Remaining critical issue: Transaction leak in streamablehttp_transport.py
causing idle-in-transaction connections (see todo/rca2.md for details).

* fix(db): resolve transaction leak and connection pool exhaustion

Critical fixes for load test failures at 4000 concurrent users:

Issue IBM#1 - Transaction leak in streamablehttp_transport.py (CRITICAL):
- Add explicit asyncio.CancelledError handling in get_db() context manager
- When MCP handlers are cancelled (client disconnect, timeout), the finally
  block may not execute properly, leaving transactions "idle in transaction"
- Now explicitly rollback and close before re-raising CancelledError
- Add rollback in direct SessionLocal usage at line ~1425

Issue IBM#2 - Missing db parameter in admin routes (HIGH):
- Add `db: Session = Depends(get_db)` to 73 remaining admin routes
- Routes with @require_permission but no db param caused decorator to
  create fresh session via fresh_db_session() for EVERY permission check
- This doubled connection usage for affected routes under load

Issue IBM#3 - Slow recovery from transaction leaks (MEDIUM):
- Reduce IDLE_TRANSACTION_TIMEOUT from 300s to 30s in docker-compose.yml
- Reduce CLIENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT from 300s to 60s
- Leaked transactions now killed faster, preventing pool exhaustion

Root cause confirmed: list_resources() MCP handler was primary source,
with 155+ connections stuck on `SELECT resources.*` for up to 273 seconds.

See todo/rca2.md for full analysis including live test data showing
connection leak progression and 606+ idle transaction timeout errors.

- Fix teams router to use get_current_user_with_permissions consistently
- Move /discover route before /{team_id} to prevent route shadowing
- Update test fixtures to use mock_user_context dict format

* fix(db): add explicit db.commit/close to prevent transaction leaks

Add explicit db.commit(); db.close() calls to 100+ endpoints across
all routers to prevent PostgreSQL connection leaks under high load.

Problem: Under high concurrency, FastAPI's Depends(get_db) cleanup
runs after response serialization, causing transactions to remain
in 'idle in transaction' state for 20-30+ seconds, exhausting the
connection pool.

Solution: Explicitly commit and close database sessions immediately
after database operations complete, before response serialization.

Routers fixed:
- tokens.py: 10 endpoints (create, list, get, update, revoke, usage, admin, team tokens)
- llm_config_router.py: 14 endpoints (provider/model CRUD, health, gateway models)
- sso.py: 5 endpoints (SSO provider CRUD)
- email_auth.py: 3 endpoints (user create/update/delete)
- oauth_router.py: 1 endpoint (delete_registered_client)
- teams.py: 18 endpoints (team CRUD, members, invitations, join requests)
- rbac.py: 12 endpoints (roles, user roles, permissions)
- main.py: 14 CUD + 3 list + 7 RPC handlers

Also fixes:
- admin.py: Rename 21 unused db params to _db (pylint W0613)
- test_teams*.py: Add mock_db fixture to tests calling router functions directly
- Add llms/audit-db-transaction-management.md for future audits

* fix(rpc): fix list_gateways tuple unpacking and add token scoping

The RPC list_gateways handler had two bugs:
1. Did not unpack the tuple (gateways, next_cursor) returned by
   gateway_service.list_gateways(), causing 'list' object has no
   attribute 'model_dump' error
2. Was missing token scoping via _get_rpc_filter_context(), which
   was the original R-02 security fix

Also fixed all callers of list_gateways that expected a list but
now receive a tuple:
- mcpgateway/admin.py: get_gateways_section()
- mcpgateway/services/import_service.py: 3 call sites

Updated test mocks to return (list, None) tuples instead of lists.

* fix(teams): build response before db.close() to avoid lazy-load errors

The teams router was calling db.commit(); db.close() before building
the TeamResponse, but TeamResponse includes team.get_member_count()
which needs an active session. When the session is closed, the fallback
in get_member_count() tries to access self.members (lazy-loaded),
causing "Parent instance is not bound to a Session" errors.

Fixed by building TeamResponse BEFORE calling db.close() in:
- create_team
- get_team
- update_team

* fix(teams): fix update_team expecting team object but getting bool

- Add `db: Session = Depends(get_db)` to 73 remaining admin routes
- Routes with @require_permission but no db param caused decorator to
  create fresh session via fresh_db_session() for EVERY permission check
- This doubled connection usage for affected routes under load

Issue IBM#3 - Slow recovery from transaction leaks (MEDIUM):
- Reduce IDLE_TRANSACTION_TIMEOUT from 300s to 30s in docker-compose.yml
- Reduce CLIENT_IDLE_TIMEOUT from 300s to 60s
- Leaked transactions now killed faster, preventing pool exhaustion

Root cause confirmed: list_resources() MCP handler was primary source,
with 155+ connections stuck on `SELECT resources.*` for up to 273 seconds.

See todo/rca2.md for full analysis including live test data showing
connection leak progression and 606+ idle transaction timeout errors.

* fix(teams): use consistent user context format across all endpoints

- Update request_to_join_team and leave_team to use dict-based user context
- Fix teams router to use get_current_user_with_permissions consistently
- Move /discover route before /{team_id} to prevent route shadowing
- Update test fixtures to use mock_user_context dict format
- Add transaction commits in resource_service to prevent connection leaks
- Add missing docstring parameters for flake8 compliance

* fix(db): add explicit db.commit/close to prevent transaction leaks

Add explicit db.commit(); db.close() calls to 100+ endpoints across
all routers to prevent PostgreSQL connection leaks under high load.

Problem: Under high concurrency, FastAPI's Depends(get_db) cleanup
runs after response serialization, causing transactions to remain
in 'idle in transaction' state for 20-30+ seconds, exhausting the
connection pool.

Solution: Explicitly commit and close database sessions immediately
after database operations complete, before response serialization.

Routers fixed:
- tokens.py: 10 endpoints (create, list, get, update, revoke, usage, admin, team tokens)
- llm_config_router.py: 14 endpoints (provider/model CRUD, health, gateway models)
- sso.py: 5 endpoints (SSO provider CRUD)
- email_auth.py: 3 endpoints (user create/update/delete)
- oauth_router.py: 1 endpoint (delete_registered_client)
- teams.py: 18 endpoints (team CRUD, members, invitations, join requests)
- rbac.py: 12 endpoints (roles, user roles, permissions)
- main.py: 14 CUD + 3 list + 7 RPC handlers

Also fixes:
- admin.py: Rename 21 unused db params to _db (pylint W0613)
- test_teams*.py: Add mock_db fixture to tests calling router functions directly
- Add llms/audit-db-transaction-management.md for future audits

* fix(rpc): fix list_gateways tuple unpacking and add token scoping

The RPC list_gateways handler had two bugs:
1. Did not unpack the tuple (gateways, next_cursor) returned by
   gateway_service.list_gateways(), causing 'list' object has no
   attribute 'model_dump' error
2. Was missing token scoping via _get_rpc_filter_context(), which
   was the original R-02 security fix

Also fixed all callers of list_gateways that expected a list but
now receive a tuple:
- mcpgateway/admin.py: get_gateways_section()
- mcpgateway/services/import_service.py: 3 call sites

Updated test mocks to return (list, None) tuples instead of lists.

* fix(teams): build response before db.close() to avoid lazy-load errors

The teams router was calling db.commit(); db.close() before building
the TeamResponse, but TeamResponse includes team.get_member_count()
which needs an active session. When the session is closed, the fallback
in get_member_count() tries to access self.members (lazy-loaded),
causing "Parent instance is not bound to a Session" errors.

Fixed by building TeamResponse BEFORE calling db.close() in:
- create_team
- get_team
- update_team

* fix(teams): fix update_team expecting team object but getting bool

The service's update_team() returns bool, but the router was treating
the return value as a team object and trying to access .id, .name, etc.

Fixed by:
1. Checking the boolean return value for success
2. Fetching the team again after successful update to build the response

* fix(teams): fix update_member_role return type mismatch

The service's update_member_role() returns bool, but the router
treated it as a member object. Fixed by:
1. Checking the boolean success
2. Added get_member() method to TeamManagementService
3. Fetching the updated member to build the response
