# Description of Changes
- **What was changed**
- Added logic in `InitialSecuritySetup` to assign the
`INTERNAL_API_USER` to a dedicated “internal” team both during initial
creation and on subsequent startups.
- Enhanced `assignUsersToDefaultTeamIfMissing()` to route the internal
API user to the `internalTeam`, while all other users go to the default
team.
- Switched the JPA mapping of `User.team` from `LAZY` to `EAGER` fetch
to ensure the team association is always loaded with the user.
- Introduced a new `UserService.changeUserTeam(User, Team)` method to
handle moving an existing user to a different team and persist the
change.
- Imported `java.util.Optional` to safely handle lookups of the internal
API user.
- **Why the change was made**
- To guarantee that the special internal API user is always part of the
“internal” team and never left on the default team, preventing
permission and routing issues.
- Eagerly loading the `team` association avoids lazy-init exceptions in
contexts where the user’s team is needed immediately (e.g., security
checks).
