Resolve#31609
This PR was initiated following my personal research to find the
lightest possible Single Sign-On solution for self-hosted setups. The
existing solutions often seemed too enterprise-oriented, involving many
moving parts and services, demanding significant resources while
promising planetary-scale capabilities. Others were adequate in
supporting basic OAuth2 flows but lacked proper user management
features, such as a change password UI.
Gitea hits the sweet spot for me, provided it supports more granular
access permissions for resources under users who accept the OAuth2
application.
This PR aims to introduce granularity in handling user resources as
nonintrusively and simply as possible. It allows third parties to inform
users about their intent to not ask for the full access and instead
request a specific, reduced scope. If the provided scopes are **only**
the typical ones for OIDC/OAuth2—`openid`, `profile`, `email`, and
`groups`—everything remains unchanged (currently full access to user's
resources). Additionally, this PR supports processing scopes already
introduced with [personal
tokens](https://docs.gitea.com/development/oauth2-provider#scopes) (e.g.
`read:user`, `write:issue`, `read:group`, `write:repository`...)
Personal tokens define scopes around specific resources: user info,
repositories, issues, packages, organizations, notifications,
miscellaneous, admin, and activitypub, with access delineated by read
and/or write permissions.
The initial case I wanted to address was to have Gitea act as an OAuth2
Identity Provider. To achieve that, with this PR, I would only add
`openid public-only` to provide access token to the third party to
authenticate the Gitea's user but no further access to the API and users
resources.
Another example: if a third party wanted to interact solely with Issues,
it would need to add `read:user` (for authorization) and
`read:issue`/`write:issue` to manage Issues.
My approach is based on my understanding of how scopes can be utilized,
supported by examples like [Sample Use Cases: Scopes and
Claims](https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/apis/scopes/sample-use-cases-scopes-and-claims)
on auth0.com.
I renamed `CheckOAuthAccessToken` to `GetOAuthAccessTokenScopeAndUserID`
so now it returns AccessTokenScope and user's ID. In the case of
additional scopes in `userIDFromToken` the default `all` would be
reduced to whatever was asked via those scopes. The main difference is
the opportunity to reduce the permissions from `all`, as is currently
the case, to what is provided by the additional scopes described above.

We have some actions that leverage the Gitea API that began receiving
401 errors, with a message that the user was not found. These actions
use the `ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN` env var in the actions job to
authenticate with the Gitea API. The format of this env var in actions
jobs changed with go-gitea/gitea/pull/28885 to be a JWT (with a
corresponding update to `act_runner`) Since it was a JWT, the OAuth
parsing logic attempted to parse it as an OAuth token, and would return
user not found, instead of falling back to look up the running task and
assigning it to the actions user.
Make ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN in action runners could be used,
attempting to parse Oauth JWTs. The code to parse potential old
`ACTION_RUNTIME_TOKEN` was kept in case someone is running an older
version of act_runner that doesn't support the Actions JWT.
