/**
* Test: Role Design Validation
*
* Validates the complete role matrix and its enforcement across all tool categories:
*
* | Role | create | read | update | delete | publish |
* |-----------|--------|------|--------|--------|---------|
* | Admin | all | all | all | all | all |
* | Publisher | yes | yes | yes | no | yes |
* | Author | yes | yes | own | own | no |
* | Reader | no | yes | no | no | no |
*
* Also validates:
* 1. Role derivation from Strapi admin roles (super admin → Admin, editor → Publisher, author → Author)
* 2. Default to Reader when no recognized role
* 3. Field sanitization by role (Author can't set publishedAt, Reader can't see internalNotes)
* 4. MCP tool availability per role
* 5. Strapi admin role listing and mapping
*
* Prerequisites:
* - Running Strapi 5.x with MCP plugin
* - STRAPI_ADMIN_EMAIL / STRAPI_ADMIN_PASSWORD env vars
