When a client user selects their account from the dev login selector,
the portal previously had no way to establish an authenticated session —
it only checked for a ?sessionId= URL param (used by the real staff
impersonation flow). This caused the portal to always show "Hi, Guest".
Changes:
- POST /api/portal/dev-session: new endpoint (auth-disabled only) that
creates an impersonation session for a given clientId, using a fixed
dev staff ID to avoid conflicts with the one-active-session-per-staff
rule in the real impersonation flow. Sessions are long-lived (24h).
- CustomerPortal: on mount, after checking for ?sessionId=, also check
for a dev client user in localStorage and call /api/portal/dev-session
to obtain a session. This mirrors the real impersonation flow so all
existing portal API calls (which require X-Impersonation-Session-Id)
work without modification.
