/**
 * Context Authorization Trait
 *
 * Every ThinkRank REST route that accepts a `context_type` / `context_id` pair
 * addresses a specific object, and a section capability — `thinkrank_schema`,
 * `thinkrank_social_media`, `thinkrank_crawling` and friends — only authorises
 * entry to that section. It is not permission to read or write SEO data for
 * every post on the site. Without an object-level check a delegated user can
 * walk `context_id` and reach other authors' drafts (#364, #366, #385).
 *
 * The check lived as a private copy in two endpoint classes, so handlers that
 * never called it were missed twice over. It lives here now, and any endpoint
 * accepting a context uses this trait.
 *
