Admin Requests Auto-Approve

[raystorm]

User Story

As an admin
I want my own box requests to be automatically approved
So that I don't need to go through the approval workflow

Acceptance Criteria

Given an admin submits a box request
When the request is saved
Then the system automatically approves the request
And provisions the new box for the admin
And the boxType is REQUESTED

Technical Tasks

• Check if requester has admin=true on User object
• Auto-approve if admin (skip Pending status)
• Create box immediately with boxType=REQUESTED
• Skip admin notification email for auto-approved requests
• Send confirmation email to admin requester
• Add tests for admin auto-approval

Implementation Notes

• Check admin flag on User object in submitBoxRequest mutation
• Still create BoxRequest record for audit trail
• Status goes directly to Approved
