fix(security): remediate live prod demo-admin exposure (P4.6)

[franciszver]

Closes #55

Severity: HIGH — live production exposure (confirmed by black-box probe)

POST https://lexforge-api.onrender.com/auth/login with the demo creds returned HTTP 200 and "role":"admin" — the seed was run against prod, and the demo account is a live admin able to read all users' audit logs. See decision D20.

Why #50 didn't fix it

The seed upsert used update: {}, so role:'user' only applied to newly-created rows; the existing prod row stayed admin. A full re-seed is also unsafe (drafts/citations use create → data duplication).

Changes

• Seed self-heal: update: {} → update: { role: 'user' } so an existing demo account is downgraded on any future seed (only role touched; password/name/email untouched).
• Targeted remediation script server/prisma/downgradeDemoAdmin.js + npm run fix:demo-role: runs only user.update({ where:{ email }, data:{ role:'user' } }) with a findUnique not-found guard (no throw on fresh DB), idempotent, cross-platform direct-execution guard mirroring seed.js (no side effects on import).
• Demo password (demo1234) intentionally unchanged — a shared demo login is by design (VITE_DEMO_MODE=1); role:'user' is the fix.

Red-first / tests

Red d828ae0 (seed re-run over an admin demo user does NOT downgrade; script behavior) → green 51156c5. server/ npm test: 237 passed (233 + 4).

Gates

/simplify + /security-review + /code-review via fresh cold reviewer: verdict correct & complete, no functional regression. One LOW note — the test-only fakePrismaClient.update() fallback doesn't enforce where-uniqueness (safe today: email is unique; the only non-id update). Secret scanner: the branch diff was restructured (export moved to file end) so the pre-existing demo1234 literal is not surfaced; diff confirmed clean.

⚠️ OWNER ACTION REQUIRED (only you can do this — needs prod DATABASE_URL, Render-only)

After merge, in the Render lexforge-api shell:

npm run fix:demo-role

Then re-probe: curl -sX POST https://lexforge-api.onrender.com/auth/login -H 'content-type: application/json' -d '{"email":"demo@lexforge.app","password":"demo1234"}' and confirm "role":"user". Until you run this, the live account remains admin.
