fix(api,diff,output): only blame the token when Fleet returns 403

[robbiet480]

Summary

fleet-plan said "API token lacks permission" in places where it didn't know that. A 404 can be a server without the endpoint and a 402 can be a Fleet Free license, yet both were reported as token problems. Now the token is named only when Fleet returns a 403. Anything else reports the HTTP status Fleet actually returned.

Split out of #71; the two PRs don't depend on each other.

Changes

• internal/api
  • The *Unavailable flags were bool and are now int: the refusing HTTP status, 0 when the resource was read. This covers team software, profiles and scripts, and no-team policies, profiles and scripts.
  • New refusedStatus helper. The isPermissionError doc comment no longer claims a 404 means the token.
• internal/diff
  • New skippedDiff(kind, status, what). A 403 gives "… diff skipped: API token lacks permission to read …". Any other status gives "… diff skipped: Fleet returned HTTP for …".
• internal/output
  • The "Token lacks read access" warning now collects only 403 messages. Other statuses render as ordinary ⚠️ error rows.
  • "Every label has 0 hosts" was folded into that warning as "label host counts". It's now a neutral ℹ️ note: "Label host counts hidden: Fleet reported 0 hosts for every label." Zero counts may just mean no matching hosts.
  • The not-diffed note was "Fleet does not report these, or the token cannot read them" and is now "Fleet did not report these".
• docs/Architecture.md: added a sentence on how refused resources are reported.

Fleet-maintained app categories already blamed the token only on a 403 (DetailForbidden), so they're unchanged.

Test plan

• go build ./...
• go vet ./...
• go test -race ./...
• golangci-lint run reports no issues
• Coverage did not regress
• Validated against a live Fleet instance. Not run separately; this changes message wording only, and the refused-resource paths aren't reachable with the current full-access token.

New tests:

• TestFetchAll…NoTeam asserts statuses 403/403/404.
• TestDiffUnavailableBlamesTokenOnlyOn403 covers 403, 404 and 402 messages.
• Two markdown cases: a 404 isn't in the token warning, and zero label counts are stated, not blamed on the token.

Invariants

• API client still issues GET only — no Fleet state is mutated
• HTTPS still enforced (FLEET_PLAN_INSECURE=1 remains the only escape hatch)
• No secrets in code, logs, output, fixtures, or CI comments
• No platform-specific code

Merge note

#71 and this PR both edit the not-diffed note area of internal/output/markdown.go and its tests. Whichever merges second needs a small rebase.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved diff reporting for resources Fleet declines to provide. HTTP 403 responses are identified as permission issues, while other status codes are reported separately; unavailable resources are skipped rather than compared as empty.
  • Clarified when configuration sections were not reported by Fleet, and added a note when labels have no reported hosts. Configured keys absent from API output are listed as “Not diffed.”
• Documentation
  • Updated the diff engine guidance to describe how unavailable and unreported resources are handled.

Walkthrough

Unavailable-resource fields now retain Fleet HTTP status codes. The diff engine and Markdown output use those statuses to distinguish permission errors from other responses. Markdown also reports when every valid label has zero hosts. Architecture documentation describes the related diff behavior.

Changes

Fleet resource refusal handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Capture resource refusal statuses internal/api/client.go, internal/api/client_test.go	Unavailable-resource fields now store HTTP status codes. Script enrichment runs only when the resource read succeeded.
Classify skipped diffs by status internal/diff/differ.go, internal/diff/differ_test.go, docs/Architecture.md	The diff engine skips unavailable resources and reports a token-permission issue only for HTTP 403. Baseline diffs use the same availability checks. The documentation also describes resource skips, absent and empty keys, decimal number comparisons, and the teams/fleets alias.
Report skipped resources and label counts internal/output/markdown.go, internal/output/markdown_test.go	Markdown notes when Fleet did not report settings and when all valid labels have zero hosts. Permission warnings include resources refused with HTTP 403, not other response statuses.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e0258

Fleet resources that are refused, including HTTP 402 responses on Fleet Free, are now recorded and reported with their HTTP status. The API token is blamed only for HTTP 403. No remaining merge-blocking risk was identified.

Allow HTTP 402 to reach the skipped-diff path.

If a team or no-team resource GET returns HTTP 402, isPermissionError returns false. FetchAll then fails instead of storing the status. The new diff test supplies 402 directly, so it does not exercise this failure. Accept 402 as a skippable resource refusal and add a FetchAll test that returns 402 from an endpoint. Keep transport and other unexpected errors fatal.
