feat(permissions): add serverless Security project permissions guide#36
Merged
Conversation
Adds `--mode serverless` to the test runner, observe-only built-in role identities (t1_analyst, t2_analyst, soc_manager), and a new guide at docs/permissions-serverless.md documenting what each role can and cannot do across all MCP app operations. Key findings from running the matrix against a local serverless cluster: - All built-in Security roles use `cluster: read_project_routing` (not `monitor`), so listIndices (_cat/indices) returns 403 for every built-in role — including soc_manager. Custom roles with `cluster: monitor` bypass this. - `viewer` has no file-realm user in the Security project; tiers start at `t1_analyst`. - t1_analyst: read-only (alerts, cases-read, rules-read, attack-discovery, ES|QL). t2_analyst: adds full case write. soc_manager: adds rule management, sample-data generation, field mapping. Relates to #13
