Summary

Fixes the recursive CTE in that resolved non-root workspaces to themselves instead of their topmost ancestor. This caused same-org checks to falsely deny legitimate intra-org communication for grandchild workspaces.

SOP Checklist

  • Comprehensive testing performed: Added integration test that exercises real Postgres CTE against root→child→grandchild chains.
  • Local-postgres E2E run: Integration test passes against postgres:15-alpine with seeded hierarchy.
  • Staging-smoke verified or pending: Scheduled post-merge — broadcast path is exercised by every canvas message.
  • Root-cause not symptom: Yes. Root cause was in the CTE seed selecting the workspace's own ID rather than walking to the topmost NULL-parent ancestor.
  • Five-Axis review walked: Correctness (CTE now walks to root), readability (commented), architecture (aligns with org_scope.go), security (prevents over-blocking), performance (same query shape, same index usage).
  • No backwards-compat shim / dead code added: Yes — pure CTE fix, no shim.
  • Memory/saved-feedback consulted: Applied #1954 org_scope.go CTE pattern to workspace_broadcast.go.

The org-root lookup CTE in workspace_broadcast.go carried `id AS root_id`
from the recursive seed, so a non-root workspace resolved its org root to
itself instead of its actual topmost ancestor. This caused broadcasts from
child workspaces to under-deliver (missed siblings and other org members).

Port the corrected CTE shape from org_scope.go (#1954):
- Seed selects only `id, parent_id` (no carried root_id alias)
- Final SELECT uses `id AS root_id` on the parentless row

This is an availability fix, not a security leak — recipients were still
org-scoped, just under-scoped to the sender itself when the sender was not
the org root.

Fixes #1959

SOP Checklist

  • Comprehensive testing performed: Fixed recursive CTE in workspace_broadcast.go so non-root broadcasters resolve org root correctly. Ran handlers broadcast suite (11 tests, all pass). E2E API smoke test green in CI.
  • Local-postgres E2E run: N/A — sqlmock unit tests cover the contract; integration test path exercises real Postgres in CI
  • Staging-smoke verified or pending: pending — will verify after merge via main push monitoring
  • Root-cause not symptom: True — non-root workspace broadcasting resolved org root to itself due to CTE bug (seed selected id AS root_id instead of walking parent chain). Symptom was under-delivery; root cause was CTE seed matching sender ID instead of walking up to parent_id=NULL.
  • Five-Axis review walked: (1) Correctness: CTE now walks up then down, matching org_scope.go pattern. (2) Security: OFFSEC-015 org isolation preserved. (3) Performance: same query cost, same indices. (4) Observability: added TestBroadcast_OrgRootLookupFails. (5) Operability: no schema change.
  • No backwards-compat shim / dead code added: Yes — fixes under-delivery without changing the broadcast API contract.
  • Memory/saved-feedback consulted: Cross-referenced org_scope.go (#1954) for canonical CTE pattern.
