Dotta 9c29394f4d [codex] Allow cloud tenant import mutations without browser origin (#6378)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip orchestrates AI agents for zero-human companies.
> - Paperclip Cloud imports local company data into tenant Paperclip
stacks through trusted server-to-server calls.
> - Tenant imports authenticate as board actors with `source:
"cloud_tenant"` because they act on behalf of an authorized stack user.
> - The board mutation guard correctly protects browser session
mutations with trusted `Origin`/`Referer` checks.
> - But the guard treated trusted Cloud tenant calls like browser
session mutations, so server-to-server imports without a browser origin
failed with `403 Board mutation requires trusted browser origin`.
> - This pull request exempts trusted Cloud tenant actors from
browser-origin enforcement while preserving the session-backed browser
guard.
> - The benefit is that authorized Cloud imports can persist into tenant
Paperclip storage without weakening browser CSRF protections.

## What Changed

- Allow `req.actor.source === "cloud_tenant"` through
`boardMutationGuard` without requiring browser `Origin` or `Referer`
headers.
- Add a focused regression test for Cloud tenant POST mutations without
an origin.
- Preserve the existing session-backed rejection test for board
mutations that lack a trusted browser origin.

## Verification

- `pnpm exec vitest run
server/src/__tests__/board-mutation-guard.test.ts`
- Result: 10 tests passed.

## Risks

- Low risk: this only expands the existing non-browser exemption list to
trusted Cloud tenant actors that have already passed tenant-server-token
authentication.
- The browser-session path remains covered by the existing rejection
test, so missing-origin browser mutations still fail.

first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

## Model Used

- OpenAI Codex, GPT-5 coding agent, tool-enabled local repository
editing and shell verification.
