Guests (account_role='guest') have no login flow and never receive a JWT
normally, so this is defense-in-depth: any token whose role claim is 'guest'
(forged/minted guest tokens or future changes) is refused 403 before the money
handlers run. The check reads role from context ONLY — real guests are seeded
with account_type='email', so account_type is never the discriminator. A
missing role passes through (RequireAuth guarantees presence; same trust model
as isVerifiedRole).
Wired onto all user-facing money routes: booking payment, apply-redemption,
payment-lock POST/DELETE, tip, gift-card redeem and gift-card buy. Admin and
till routes (RequireAdmin) are untouched — admin can never be guest. The
payment-methods routes gain RequireVerified (verified_email, admin) alongside,
so only verified accounts can manage saved cards.
Tests: 6 middleware tests (reject guest, allow verified/unverified/admin/
affiliate/missing-role) + 4 integration tests (guest 403 on booking payment
with zero side effects, tip, gift-card buy; verified user still pays 200).
OptionalAuth extracts user info from Bearer token if present,
otherwise passes through without requiring authentication.
ReserveSlotHandler creates temporary time_blockers reservations:
- Logged-in users: max 1 active, 1hr TTL, tracked by user_id
- Anonymous users: global cap of 50, 10min TTL, tracked by IP hash
- Validates slot availability (working hours, booking overlap, blocker overlap)
- Returns reservation ID, start_time, duration, and expires_at
