Preface

This PR was developed with Claude Code (claude-opus-4-6). I drove the direction and tested everything, but Claude did all of the actual coding. I reviewed, tested, and validated all changes.

Description

When a blueprint references a role that doesn't exist yet, create it automatically instead of failing or silently dropping the association.

Proxy resource blueprints (sso-roles) previously threw Role not found, blocking the entire blueprint apply. Now auto-creates the role.
Client resource blueprints (roles) previously ran a WHERE IN query and silently ignored any role names that didn't match. Now auto-creates missing roles before associating them.
Auto-created roles receive the three default permissions: getOrg, getResource, listResources.

Blueprints are the declarative source of truth for resource configuration. Requiring roles to be pre-created through the UI before they can be referenced in a blueprint breaks the declarative workflow and adds a manual step that's easy to forget. This is especially relevant when integrating with an external IdP where SSO group-to-role mappings should just work on first apply.

How to test?

Apply a blueprint with sso-roles referencing a role that does not exist. Verify the role is created with default permissions and the resource association succeeds.
Apply a blueprint with roles (client resource) referencing a role that does not exist, for both new and existing resources. Verify the same.
Apply a blueprint referencing a role that already exists. Verify no duplicate is created and the existing role is associated normally.
Verify auto-created roles appear in the admin UI with the correct permissions.
