Implement Role Assignment BLoC Integration
epic-admin-portal-dashboard-ui-task-007 — Integrate the RoleAssignmentPanel with the AdminPortalBloc by adding RoleAssignmentRequested and RoleAssignmentConfirmed events. Validate that the new role is within the admin's privilege scope before allowing submission. Propagate role change completion back to the user list state so the list refreshes without a full reload.

Implementation Notes
Model the role assignment flow as a sub-state within AdminPortalState (e.g., a roleAssignmentStatus field with idle/processing/success/error and a nullable roleAssignmentError). Use BlocBuilder with buildWhen: (prev, curr) => prev.roleAssignmentStatus != curr.roleAssignmentStatus || prev.userList != curr.userList on the UserListTile to avoid unnecessary rebuilds of unrelated UI. The in-place list update should produce a new list with only the affected user's role updated — use immutable list copy with map(). Keep the two-event pattern (Requested → Confirmed) aligned with the two-step UI in task-006; do not short-circuit to a single event as this bypasses the confirmation UX.
Scope validation logic should be a pure function (List
Testing Requirements
Unit tests with bloc_test: (1) RoleAssignmentRequested with in-scope role → emits processing → emits success with updated userList entry, (2) RoleAssignmentRequested with out-of-scope role → emits error, service NOT called, (3) RoleAssignmentConfirmed after Requested → service called once, (4) service throws → emits error, userList unchanged. Widget test: verify UserListTile updates role label on RoleAssignmentSuccess without full list rebuild (assert rebuild count via test instrumentation). Integration test: open RoleAssignmentPanel, select role, confirm, verify parent list reflects change.
If org node selection in AdminStateBLoC does not correctly propagate to all dependent data streams (statistics, activity log, user list, certification panel), some panels may show data from the previously selected org scope, creating a confusing and potentially dangerous mixed-scope view.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Model org node selection as a single source of truth in AdminStateBLoC. All downstream providers derive their query parameters from this single stream via Riverpod's watch pattern. Write integration tests that verify every data stream emits a reload event when the selected node changes.
Contingency: If scope propagation bugs are detected in QA, add an explicit full-state reset on org node change (clear all cached data and refetch from scratch) as a safe but less efficient fallback until the targeted propagation is fixed.
The Admin Dashboard Screen must adapt its layout for Flutter Web (wider viewports, mouse interaction, larger grid) and mobile embedding. Flutter Web responsive layout support has historically required non-trivial workarounds, and the adaptive grid may introduce significant additional development time.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Define breakpoints and grid behaviour in the design system before implementation. Use LayoutBuilder with explicit breakpoint constants rather than MediaQuery scattered across widgets. Prototype the web layout with a skeleton screen before implementing live data binding.
Contingency: If web layout proves intractable within sprint, deliver a mobile-first layout for all platforms initially and track a dedicated web-optimisation task for the next sprint.
A bug in the Role Assignment Panel's permission scope validation could allow an org_admin to assign roles beyond their authority (e.g., assigning super_admin to a user), representing a serious privilege escalation vulnerability.
Mitigation & Contingency
Mitigation: Enforce role assignment scope on both the client (disable unavailable roles in the panel UI) and the server (UserManagementService validates the target role is within the admin's permitted scope before persisting). Write security-focused tests that attempt out-of-scope role assignments and assert rejection.
Contingency: If an escalation vulnerability is discovered, immediately disable the role assignment panel via feature flag, revoke any incorrectly assigned roles, and deploy a server-side fix before re-enabling.
