Hongming Wang 0c461eb9f1 refactor(workspace): extract RBAC helpers from a2a_tools.py to a2a_tools_rbac.py (RFC #2873 iter 4a)
First slice of the a2a_tools.py (991 LOC) split — single-concern module
for the workspace's RBAC + auth-header layer:

  * _ROLE_PERMISSIONS canonical table
  * _get_workspace_tier
  * _check_memory_write_permission
  * _check_memory_read_permission
  * _is_root_workspace
  * _auth_headers_for_heartbeat

a2a_tools.py shrinks from 991 → 915 LOC. Internal call sites (15
references) work unchanged because the bare names are re-imported at
module-level — Python's local-then-module name resolution still
finds them in a2a_tools's namespace, so existing tests'
patch("a2a_tools._foo", …) keeps working.

The RBAC layer can now evolve independently of the 18 tool handlers.
Adding a new role or capability action touches one file, not the
kitchen-sink module.

Tests:
  * 77 existing test_a2a_tools_impl.py pass unchanged.
  * test_a2a_tools_rbac.py adds 28 focused tests:
    - 6 alias drift-gate tests (`_foo is rbac.foo`)
    - 4 get_workspace_tier env+config branches
    - 2 is_root_workspace tier branches
    - 6 check_memory_write_permission roles + override branches
    - 3 check_memory_read_permission scenarios
    - 3 auth_headers_for_heartbeat platform_auth branches
    - 4 ROLE_PERMISSIONS table invariants
  * Direct coverage for the helper module (was previously only
    exercised through 991-LOC tool-handler tests).

Refs RFC #2873.

Hits ``/workspaces/<self>/activity?peer_id=<peer>&limit=<N>``

the peer is either the sender (``source_id=peer`` — they sent us
the message) or the recipient (``target_id=peer`` — we sent to
them) of an A2A turn — both sides of the conversation in
chronological order.
Args:
peer_id: The other workspace's UUID. Same value the agent
sees as ``peer_id`` on a peer_agent push or ``workspace_id``
on a delegate_task call.
limit: Maximum rows to return; capped server-side at 500. The
default of 20 covers \"most recent context for this peer\"
without flooding the agent's context window.
before_ts: Optional RFC3339 timestamp; only rows strictly
older are returned. Used to page backward through long
histories — pass the oldest ``ts`` from the previous
response. Empty (default) returns the most recent ``limit``
rows.
source_workspace_id: Which registered workspace's activity log
to query. Auto-routes via ``_peer_to_source`` cache when
unset (the workspace this peer was discovered through);
falls back to module-level WORKSPACE_ID for single-workspace
operators.
Returns a JSON-encoded list of activity rows (or an error string
starting with ``Error:`` so the agent can branch). Each row carries
``activity_type``, ``source_id``, ``target_id``, ``method``,
``summary``, ``request_body``, ``response_body``, ``status``,
``created_at`` — same shape ``inbox_peek`` and the canvas chat
loader already see.
