Authorization bypass via query parameter
An AI agent added an admin-only endpoint to delete any user. The product spec says only users with the `admin` role may call it. Auth middleware sets `req.user` from a verified JWT. The reviewer is checking whether the authorization is correct.

Which questions mattered is sealed until you submit. Telling you now would just be handing over the edge cases.
Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
