SGLang puts weight updates and LoRA loading behind a dedicated admin key

SGLang merged a breaking authentication change on November 14th, submitted by contributor Shuwen Wang (GitHub account alphabetc1) as pull request #49896 and landed in commit 7b5fb39, that places weight updates, LoRA loading and other runtime controls behind a dedicated administrator key. Routes classified as 'ADMIN_FORCE' now return HTTP 403 when the server starts without an admin key, and accept that admin key rather than an ordinary inference API key when one is configured, while several operational routes remain at a weaker optional level.
