Workspace skills now drive sidebar visibility

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Open WebUI

Users granted only workspace.skills permissions will see the Workspace menu entry and no longer bounce out of /workspace.

Open WebUI fixed a permission-gating bug [1] that left users with only the `workspace.skills` permission unable to reach the Workspace area. The earlier gates in `Sidebar.svelte` and the workspace-index didn't account for skills, so the menu stayed hidden and a direct visit to `/workspace` redirected to `/`. These gates now include skills, matching the route guard that already covered it.

The SECURITY.md file was updated [2], and the repo added Russian translation updates [3]. A migration fix [4] adjusts the tag composite primary key definition.
