This PR
Adds RBAC access control module (src/auth/) with 4 roles (admin, freelancer, client, guest), 5 resources, and express middleware enforcing the access control matrix on all protected API endpoints.

Tests
161 passing across 6 suites — exhaustive positive/negative cases for every role×resource×action cell, plus edge cases (missing headers, malformed tokens, unknown roles, privilege escalation).

Security

  • Deny-by-default for unknown roles/resources/actions
  • Immutable compile-time ACL matrix
  • Separate authentication (401) and authorization (403) layers

Files changed

  • New:src/auth/ (roles, authorize, authenticate, middleware)
  • New: src/__tests__/integration.test.ts, src/auth/__tests__/*.test.ts
  • New: docs/backend/authentication-authorization.md
  • Modified: src/index.ts, README.md, package.json

Closes #89

- Add RBAC access control module (src/auth/) with roles, authorize, authenticate, middleware
- Define access control matrix for admin, freelancer, client, guest roles
- Protect API endpoints with authenticateMiddleware and requirePermission
- Add 161 comprehensive tests: unit (roles, authorize, authenticate, middleware) + integration
- Add documentation in docs/backend/authentication-authorization.md
- Update README with auth section
