- Enforce authoritative administrator global image_gen_enabled disable in get_user_setting, do_generate_image, and image_editing_provider_available, preventing non-admin user preference overrides while preserving user-disabled opt-outs and can_generate_images privilege checks across direct, gallery, and editor paths.
- Filter non-admin preference persistence in saveImagePreferences to user preference keys only (image_model, image_edit_model, image_quality), preventing global policy toggles from leaking into user preferences.
- Return accurate 200 OK Response from saveImagePreferences after fallback persistence succeeds so settings UI displays 'Saved' instead of false 403 error, while retaining visibility of real errors.
- Load per-user preferences via readImagePreferences in initImageSettings so non-admin selections persist and display correctly after page reload.
- Clear per-user model preferences on successful admin save (POST /api/auth/settings) via PUT /api/prefs/{key} with value: null to prevent stale per-user preferences from shadowing updated global settings.
- Support clearing keys in PUT /api/prefs/{key} when value is null.
- Add comprehensive Python regression tests for global-disabled/user-enabled, global-enabled/user-disabled, and authorized generation, plus Node and browser regression tests for non-admin persistence, toggle isolation, reload, and admin clearing.
* fix(auth): honor AUTH_ENABLED=false in admin-gated app-config routes
With auth explicitly disabled (reverse-proxy deployments) there is no
session user, so the inline admin checks in auth_routes.py returned 403
unconditionally and settings changes were silently lost. The central
require_admin in core/middleware.py already allows this case; the inline
checks did not.
- add _require_admin_user helper mirroring require_admin semantics and
use it in the app-config routes (settings, features, integrations)
- return unscrubbed settings on GET /settings when auth is disabled
(the caller is the operator)
- settings.js: check res.ok in saveDefault so a failed save no longer
reports 'Saved'
- add regression tests
User-management routes keep requiring a real admin identity; they act on
the user store, which is not meaningful with auth disabled.
Fixes#6028
* fix(settings): verify response.ok on save and expand auth regression tests
- Ensure all settings save handlers in settings.js check response.ok before displaying success notifications, preventing false 'Saved' messages on server rejection.
- Add DOM and JS unit tests verifying response.ok checks and error handling across settings handlers.
- Expand tests/test_admin_routes_auth_disabled.py with comprehensive authorization test coverage for AUTH_ENABLED=false and AUTH_ENABLED=true across settings, features, integrations, secret scrubbing, and user management.
