• Bugfix #5446: Make notify_uploads_extra_recipients work in libregraph

  #5446

• Bugfix #5463: Fix permission editing for public links

  A bug was introduced during the refactoring of the permission system
  (#5428). This has now been fixed.

  #5463

• Bugfix #5404: Fix localhome virtual namespace path handling for spaces

  Added optional VirtualHomeTemplate config to localfs driver, enabling localhome to
  correctly handle paths when exposing user homes through a virtual namespace (e.g.,
  /home/) while storing files in a flat per-user layout on disk.

  The wrap() function uses a clean switch statement with named predicates to handle five path
  transformation patterns:

  • Exact match: /home/einstein -> / - Full path: /home/einstein/file -> /file - Parent path:
    /home -> / (when virtual home is /home/einstein) - Gateway-stripped parent: /home/file ->
    /file (gateway omits username) - Gateway-stripped username: /einstein/file -> /file
    (WebDAV "home" alias)

  The last two cases handle gateway routing edge cases where prefixes are stripped differently
  depending on whether the WebDAV layer uses space IDs or the "home" alias for URL construction.

  The normalize() function adds the virtual home prefix only to the Path field of ResourceInfo
  (e.g., /file -> /home/einstein/file), enabling PathToSpaceID() to derive the correct space
  identifier. The OpaqueId field remains storage-relative (e.g., fileid-einstein%2Ffile)
  to ensure resource IDs can be properly decoded.

  The localhome wrapper now correctly passes VirtualHomeTemplate through to localfs.

  When VirtualHomeTemplate is empty (default), behavior is unchanged, ensuring backward
  compatibility with EOS and existing deployments.

  #5447

• Enhancement #5445: Support funcs in templates

  #5445

• Enhancement #5402: Refactoring of the GORM model for shares

  With this PR we introduce new constraints and rename some fields for better consistency:

  • Types used by OCM structures only are prefixed with Ocm, and AccessMethod and Protocol
    were consolidated into OcmProtocol * ItemType is used in OCM shares as well * The
    (FileIdPrefix, ItemSource) tuple is now (Instance, Inode) in OcmShare, and it was
    removed from OcmReceivedShare as unused * Unique index constraints have been created for
    regular Shares and for OcmShares on (instance, inode, shareWith, deletedAt) * The
    unique indexes have been renamed with a u_ prefix for consistency: this affected
    u_shareid_user, u_link_token. The i_share_with was dropped as redundant. * Alias
    and Hidden were added in OcmReceivedShare

  #5402

• Enhancement #5428: Refactor permissions

  Permissions are now, at least partially, handled and exposed within a single package (which
  was important for cernboxcop), with conversions between the different types of permissions
