Subject: [PATCH] feat(compute#2489 phase-3): add /compute/instance-allowlist
 SSOT endpoint (auth-gated)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

PM-approved core#2489 phase-3 follow-up. The canvas's
CreateWorkspaceDialog hardcodes:
- CLOUD_PROVIDER_OPTIONS (3 providers with labels)
- DEFAULT_HEADLESS_INSTANCE_TYPE = "t3.medium"
- DEFAULT_DISPLAY_INSTANCE_TYPE = "t3.xlarge"
- 4 AWS display instance types (<option> list)

This is a parallel mirror of the Go SSOT that silently drifts.
The existing /compute/metadata endpoint (public, no auth)
serves ContainerConfigTab but isn't the right surface for the
CREATE flow (no :id in URL — the dialog has no workspace
context yet, by definition).

### New endpoint
**GET /compute/instance-allowlist** — auth-gated SSOT for the
create flow. Behavior-preserving counterpart of the public
/compute/metadata: same per-provider shape (id/label/
default_instance/instances) PLUS a new `display_default`
per provider (so the canvas's DEFAULT_DISPLAY_INSTANCE_TYPE
can be sourced from the SSOT too).

### Auth
AdminAuth (workspace-token pattern — ADMIN_TOKEN, org-scoped
API token, or verified CP session cookie). Same auth tier as
the other admin-gated endpoints. NOT unauthenticated (unlike
/compute/metadata) because the new endpoint replaces what
was a canvas-side constant with a server-side resource — and
a future canvas migration would attach the same admin bearer
the canvas already sends for every other admin fetch.

The existing /workspaces/:id/compute-options endpoint
(workspace-token via WorkspaceAuth, with :id) is workspace-
scoped; the new endpoint is GLOBAL (no :id) so the canvas
can call it during the create flow BEFORE any workspace exists.

### Behavior-preservation (PM's guardrail #1)
`TestComputeInstanceAllowlist_MatchesCanvasHardcodedValues`
asserts the response values match the canvas's PRIOR hardcoded
constants EXACTLY:
- 3 providers with labels (aws/AWS (default), gcp/GCP, hetzner/Hetzner)
- AWS default_instance = t3.medium (matches DEFAULT_HEADLESS_INSTANCE_TYPE)
- AWS display_default = t3.xlarge (matches DEFAULT_DISPLAY_INSTANCE_TYPE)
- AWS 4 hardcoded display types are a SUBSET of the SSOT's full
  instances list (t3.large, t3.xlarge, m6i.xlarge, c6i.xlarge)
- hetzner default_instance = cpx31, display_default = cpx41
- gcp default_instance = e2-standard-2, display_default = e2-standard-4

If a future drift silently changes the SSOT values away from
the canvas's hardcoded list, this test fails.

### Files
1. **internal/handlers/workspace_compute.go** (77 lines):
   - New `computeInstanceAllowlistProvider` + `computeInstanceAllowlistResponse` types
   - New `ComputeInstanceAllowlist` handler
2. **internal/router/router.go** (20 lines):
   - Wire `r.GET("/compute/instance-allowlist", middleware.AdminAuth(db.DB), handlers.ComputeInstanceAllowlist)`
3. **internal/router/compute_instance_allowlist_route_test.go** (new file, 274 lines):
   - `TestComputeInstanceAllowlist_RouteWiring`: registration + auth-tier pin
   - `TestComputeInstanceAllowlist_ReturnsExpectedShape`: 5-field shape pin
   - `TestComputeInstanceAllowlist_MatchesCanvasHardcodedValues`: behavior-preservation

### Local verification
- gofmt -l: clean
- go test ./...: all packages PASS
- 3/3 new tests pass
- No regressions in existing tests

### Routing
CORE auto-queue. WILL auto-merge on 2-genuine (CR2 + Researcher) +
required-green (the 4 required contexts incl. E2E Peer Visibility).
NOT self-merging.

### Branch
`fix/2489-instance-allowlist-endpoint` off latest origin/main
(8ffb417d — includes the merged #2879 display_defaults field).
