Pastes: let an owner see their own unlisted pastes in listings

OP OpenVibers committed 19 Aug 2026 · 6c9e30b480 · 1 file, +15 −2

The list query filtered `visibility = 'public'` unconditionally, with no owner
exception. So an unlisted paste appeared in no listing at all — including its
creator's own — which makes creating one look exactly like it silently failed.
The paste was there the whole time and fetchable by direct link.

Add include_unlisted, honoured only for a caller that can be trusted to be the
owner: an app key (the calling app gates who may ask) or a user token whose
subject matches the user_id being listed. Applied to both the page query and the
count so pagination stays consistent.

Private is included too — for a verified owner view, "my pastes" means all of
mine, and a private paste was equally invisible to its author.

Also logs why a slug 404s (tenant mismatch vs missing row), since these were
being reported as "Paste not found" with nothing to go on.
