#12350 fixed the LOCAL_ONLY half of the checker (prefixes + patterns +
imported consts). isAlwaysProtectedPath() is two-armed the same way:
ALWAYS_PROTECTED_API_PATHS.some(...) || ALWAYS_PROTECTED_API_PATTERNS.some(...)
but the checker still read only the path array, so the four credential
routes gated by the GHSA-5926-2w35-7h4q pattern (#12600) —
/api/providers/{id}/{claude,codex}-auth/{export,apply-local} — reported as
'has x-always-protected but is NOT in ALWAYS_PROTECTED_API_PATHS', asking for
the removal of a CORRECT annotation on a credential-export route.
Verified with the real predicate: all four isAlwaysProtectedPath() → true;
control /api/providers/{id}/models → false.
tests/unit/openapi-security-tiers.test.ts already checks BOTH arrays (#12600
updated the test but not the gate script) and stays green — this commit makes
the gate agree with the test and with the runtime.
Also carries the file-size rebaseline for four caps grown by merged PRs
(chat.ts +10 from #12427/#12503; stream.ts / accountFallback.ts / codex.ts
+17 from #12179), rationale recorded in the baseline file.
