Add instance and deployment claims to Knowledge Graph JWT (!232123) · Merge requests · GitLab.org / GitLab

Summary

Add instance_id, unique_instance_id, instance_version, global_user_id, host_name, deployment_type, and realm claims to the Knowledge Graph (Orbit) JWT payload
These use the same sources as CloudConnector.headers already sent to AI Gateway, ensuring consistency across services
Add specs covering the new claims for regular users, admin users, and stubbed instance values

These claims are consumed in feat(billing): emit Snowplow billing events on ... (gitlab-org/orbit/knowledge-graph!937 - merged).

Motivation

Orbit needs instance context to route and attribute requests correctly. The Rust struct for JWT claims already declares these fields as optional — this change populates them.

Local testing

This can be tested locally following the instruction here.
