Research direction

The issue describes a visibility and authentication bug affecting pastes that pass all tests while processing, but names no files, tests, or entry points. Reproduce the processing state under a course policy requiring authentication, then identify the relevant entry point and add coverage showing the paste is not public until processing is complete.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

bug easy security

Even if course policy says pastes that pass all tests should require authentication, they are visible to all before they are fully processed.
