Phase 2: Core Controller Extensions

• Description: Extend WorkShop controller with authorization helpers and lifecycle management. WHY: Authorization is critical for multi-site security (CSC admin god-level, site-scoped admins, workshop leaders, participants). Lifecycle management enables workflow control (draft → published → in_progress → completed). These controller extensions form the security and workflow backbone of the entire system.
