Summary

fix(a2a_queue_status): distinguish 401/403/404-retryable for queue polls (core#2437 part C)

After a 202 queue_id response, polling clients could not tell whether a 404 meant missing identity, auth mismatch, or a not-yet-persisted row. This changes GetA2AQueueStatus to return:

• 401 Unauthorized when the caller has no identity.
• 404 Not Found with retryable=true when the caller is authenticated but the row is absent (expected during the enqueue→persist window).
• 403 Forbidden when the caller is authenticated but not authorized for the queue row (identity alignment issue).

This is part C of the #2437 post-restart staging A2A readiness fix.

1. Comprehensive testing performed

Added unit tests for 401/403/404-retryable/200 authorized paths. Updated Postgres integration tests to expect 401/403/404-retryable. Ran go test ./internal/handlers -count=1; unit suite green.

2. Local-postgres E2E run

N/A for this server-only handler change; the integration test file was updated and will be exercised by CI's Handlers Postgres Integration gate.

3. Staging-smoke verified or pending

Pending post-merge; the client-side polling loop (part B of #2437) will consume the new retryable 404.

4. Root-cause not symptom

Root cause: the queue-status endpoint collapsed every failure mode into a single 404, so polling clients could not distinguish a transient not-yet-enqueued row from an auth/identity failure and either gave up too early or retried forever on the wrong identity.

5. Five-Axis review walked

• Correctness: auth checks happen before row projection; 401/403/404 are mutually exclusive and cover all paths.
• Readability: explicit status code branches with comments explaining the security/polling rationale.
• Architecture: minimal change localized to the queue-status handler; no cross-package leakage.
• Security: 401/403 do not reveal queue row existence to unauthenticated callers; retryable flag only surfaces to authenticated callers.
• Performance: one extra small JSON field on 404; no extra DB round-trips.

6. No backwards-compat shim / dead code added

No shim. Existing callers that treated all 404s as hard failures will now get retryable:true on transient rows; callers should respect it. This is intentional behavior change per #2437.

7. Memory consulted

No applicable memory records for this change.

## Summary fix(a2a_queue_status): distinguish 401/403/404-retryable for queue polls (core#2437 part C) After a 202 `queue_id` response, polling clients could not tell whether a 404 meant missing identity, auth mismatch, or a not-yet-persisted row. This changes `GetA2AQueueStatus` to return: - 401 Unauthorized when the caller has no identity. - 404 Not Found with `retryable=true` when the caller is authenticated but the row is absent (expected during the enqueue→persist window). - 403 Forbidden when the caller is authenticated but not authorized for the queue row (identity alignment issue).

fix(a2a_queue_status): distinguish 401/403/404-retryable for queue polls (#2437 C) ... c31f7eb58f

CR2/Researcher RCA #2437: callers polling queue-status after a 202 could
not tell whether a 404 meant:

- they forgot to authenticate (missing identity),
- they were using the wrong identity (auth mismatch), or
- the row was not-yet-persisted and they should retry.

Change GetA2AQueueStatus semantics:

- Missing identity -> 401 Unauthorized (no queue existence leak).
- Authenticated caller, row not found -> 404 Not Found with retryable=true.
- Authenticated caller, row exists but not authorized -> 403 Forbidden.

This lets staging-smoke / SDK poll loops retry only the retryable case
and stop/fix identity on the non-retryable errors. Updated unit tests and
Postgres integration tests.

Part of #2437.

APPROVED on head c31f7eb58fb8050aa8b43a7de0b074b76c5bc44b.

Reviewed for core#2437/#99338 masked-404 behavior. GetA2AQueueStatus now separates missing identity (401), auth mismatch (403), and authenticated missing queue row (404 with retryable: true). The handler authorizes by the persisted queue caller_id or target workspace_id, so target-side staging polling is not falsely treated as a mismatched caller. The #2671 response_body NULL scan guard is unchanged (sql.NullString before RawMessage assignment). Unit and integration coverage covers all three failure classes plus target-readable and NULL response_body behavior; required Platform Go CI is green.
