> REST plugin authorizes a forward-referenced object-id property at the depth

> h2. Summary
> When a property refers to an object by {{@JsonIdentityInfo}} id before that
> object has appeared in the body, Jackson defers the assignment:
> {{ObjectIdReferenceProperty}} registers a {{PropertyReferring}} and, once the
> referenced object is deserialized, calls the referring property's {{set()}}
> from {{handleResolvedForwardReference}}. That call happens wherever the
> referenced object turns up in the document, which can be at a different
> nesting depth than the referring property.
> {{AuthorizingSettableBeanProperty.set()}} authorizes with
> {{ParameterAuthorizationContext.pathFor(memberName)}}, i.e. the member name
> appended to whatever path prefix is on the stack _at the time of the call_.
> For a deferred assignment that prefix belongs to the object being
> deserialized when the reference resolves, not to the bean that owns the
> referring property, so the path checked is wrong.
> Surfaced by the WW-5727 reviews; pre-existing and independent of that fix.
> h2. Current behaviour
> The mis-computed path can only add a rejection (the wrong prefix is unlikely
> to be granted), so this fails closed: a correctly annotated forward reference
> may be dropped with a WARN naming a path the developer never wrote. The
> first, non-deferred read of the referring property is authorized at the
> correct path through {{AuthorizingValueDeserializer}}, so no unauthorized
> value is assigned.
> h2. Proposed change
> Capture the path prefix when the referring property is first read and use it
> when the deferred {{set()}} runs — e.g. wrap the {{Referring}} Jackson
> registers, or record the prefix on the wrapper before the reference is
> deferred. Add a test with two identified objects where the reference appears
> before its target at a different depth, asserting the referring property
> binds under its own path when granted and is rejected when not.
> h2. Compatibility notes
> No configuration or API change. Only forward references across nesting depths
> are affected, and only in the direction of a spurious rejection.
