Consumer side of PoliNetworkOrg/auth#62. The backend needs each subject's roles and the role/permission names for a new e-signing feature (which roles or permissions may use each drive).

Contract, additive to polinetwork.access-snapshot/v1:

  • subjects[].roles: Record<roleKey, { validUntil: string | null }>, the effective roles (granted plus inherited through parents), with the same expiry rules as permissions. Optional in the consumer schema, but timestamps are checked like permissions.
  • catalog: { roles: { key, name }[]; permissions: { key, name }[] }. Optional, and display data only: a missing or malformed catalog (or list) is dropped instead of making the snapshot invalid.
  • Producer types AccessSubjectV1.roles, AccessCatalogV1 and AccessSnapshotV1.catalog describe what the IdP emits after auth#62.

API:

  • AccessSubject.roles: ReadonlyMap<string, number | null> (empty for older snapshots)
  • AccessIndex.hasRole(subject, role, now?), AccessIndex.roles(subject, now?): string[], which mirror has/permissions
  • AccessIndex.catalog(): AccessCatalog, a frozen { roles, permissions } of { key, name }, with empty lists when the IdP does not send it
  • AccessSnapshotClient.hasRole(actor, role), which mirrors has(actor, permission) (stale snapshot, service actor or no sub gives false)
  • new type exports AccessCatalog, AccessCatalogEntry, AccessCatalogV1

Persisted snapshots without roles or a catalog still load (tested). fixtures/snapshot-v1.json now carries roles and a catalog. docs/contract.md §2.1 is updated, including the projection rule from auth#61 (every permission except idp:*, no longer prefixes).

Released as a minor version (1.2.0) via the feat type. Checks: pnpm typecheck, pnpm test (95), pnpm test:bun (95), pnpm biome ci ., pnpm build.

The IdP now sends each subject's effective roles, with per-role expiry, and a catalog naming every
role and projected permission (PoliNetworkOrg/auth#62). Both are additive to
polinetwork.access-snapshot/v1 and optional in the consumer schema, so snapshots from older IdPs,
including persisted ones, still parse.

AccessSubject gains a roles map and AccessIndex gains hasRole(subject, role, now?),
roles(subject, now?) and catalog(); the client gains hasRole(actor, role). A malformed catalog is
dropped rather than failing the snapshot, since it is display data only.

Walkthrough

The access snapshot contract and fixture now include role assignments and role and permission catalogs. The access index provides effective-role queries and catalog access. The snapshot client exposes role checks. Snapshots without projected roles or catalogs remain supported.

Changes

Role and Catalog Projection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Snapshot contract and fixture
src/contract/snapshot.ts, src/contract/index.ts, fixtures/snapshot-v1.json, docs/contract.md
The snapshot contract adds role assignments and catalog entries. The fixture contains role assignments and role and permission names. The contract documents catalog fallback behavior and compatibility with snapshots without roles or catalogs.
Role and catalog access
src/snapshot/access-index.ts, src/index.ts, tests/snapshot.test.ts
AccessIndex now evaluates role expiries, returns sorted effective roles, and exposes a frozen catalog. Tests cover expiry, catalog contents, and missing or malformed snapshot data.
Client role checks
src/snapshot/client.ts, tests/snapshot-client.test.ts
AccessSnapshotClient adds hasRole. It returns false for service actors, actors without subjects, and unavailable decision indexes. Tests cover role expiry and snapshots without roles or catalogs.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8f6ea

The change appears mergeable with bounded documentation follow-up. Clarify the Master Admin permission scope and catalog fallback behavior so consumers can rely on the contract.

Review comments at @docs/contract.md:
- Line 43: Update the Master Admin description in the contract so its
permissions list is limited to every projected permission key, not every catalog
key or role key. Preserve the existing `validUntil` behavior for break-glass
admins and Entra admin group members.
- Line 47: Update the `catalog` description to state that malformed role and
permission lists are handled independently: an invalid list becomes empty while
a valid list is retained. Distinguish this from a missing or malformed catalog
object, which returns two empty lists.
