[Frontend] Role-based permissions for Software Development Flow (IDE)

Summary

Integrate frontend permission checks for Software Development Flow in IDEs based on minimum_access_level_execute permission.

Background

Software Development Flow is a foundational foreground flow accessible in VS Code, JetBrains, and Visual Studio. Users should only access the Flows tab if they have the appropriate execute permission (Guest+ by default).

Requirements

  • Hide/disable Flows tab when user lacks permission
  • Check permission in GitLab Duo Agent Platform panel
  • Show appropriate message when permission is denied
  • Ensure UI updates reflect permission state across all IDE extensions

Locations

IDEs:

  • VS Code: GitLab Duo Agent Platform (Beta) > Flows tab
  • JetBrains: GitLab Duo Agent Platform (Beta) > Flows tab
  • Visual Studio: GitLab Duo Agent Platform (Beta) > Flows tab

Acceptance Criteria

  • Flows tab hidden/disabled for users without Guest+ role or custom permission
  • Permission check respects instance and namespace-level settings
  • Clear messaging when access is denied
  • Works consistently across VS Code, JetBrains, and Visual Studio
