Proposed Changes

Migrate the v2 authorization decisioning path off the full-policy load onto targeted, per-request lookups via MatchSubjectMappings + GetEntitleableAttributesByFqns, mirroring the v1 change.

  • add fetchEntitleableAttributes to build attribute definitions and subject mappings from the entitleable API, batched at the proto max_items limit (250), with hierarchy sibling expansion and no subject-mapping double-count
  • build a request-scoped PolicyDecisionPoint for GetEntitlements and GetDecision/GetDecisionMultiResource/GetDecisionBulk (including the registered-resource-as-entity branches) from only the value FQNs each request needs
  • keep registered resources, obligations, and dynamic value mappings fully loaded; extract buildRegisteredResourceValuesByFQN for reuse by the PDP and obligations wiring
  • stop caching attributes and subject mappings in EntitlementPolicyCache (they are now fetched per request)

Behavior is preserved for strict namespaced mode (the PDP is built from entitleable-response subject mappings, which carry their namespace), hierarchy, obligations, registered resources, and direct entitlements. Unknown resource FQNs continue to deny per-resource.

Checklist

  • I have added or updated unit tests
  • I have added or updated integration tests (if appropriate)
  • I have added or updated documentation

Testing Instructions

  • cd service && go test -race ./internal/access/... ./authorization/...
  • golangci-lint run ./internal/access/... ./authorization/...
  • Cross-SDK xtest with strict namespaced mode is the real validator for the namespaced-entitlement path; a run is triggered against this branch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Entitlement and subject-mapping data is now retrieved on demand for each request.
    • Targeted policy evaluation fetches only the attributes required for a decision, improving efficiency.
    • Hierarchical attributes and related mappings are expanded automatically during evaluation.
    • Missing attribute data safely results in a denied decision.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of duplicate, missing, and unknown attribute references.
    • Preserved support for registered resources and dynamic value mappings.

Replace the v2 PDP full-policy load with per-request targeted lookups via
MatchSubjectMappings and GetEntitleableAttributesByFqns.

- add fetchEntitleableAttributes to build attribute definitions and subject
  mappings from the entitleable API, batched at the proto max_items limit
- build a request-scoped PolicyDecisionPoint for GetEntitlements and
  GetDecision/MultiResource/Bulk from only the needed value FQNs
- keep registered resources, obligations, and dynamic value mappings fully
  loaded; extract buildRegisteredResourceValuesByFQN for reuse
- stop caching attributes and subject mappings in EntitlementPolicyCache

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change stops caching entitlement attributes and subject mappings. JustInTimePDP now fetches required values per request, builds targeted PDPs, and retains reusable full-policy handling. New helpers and tests cover batching, hierarchy expansion, matching, denial, and error behavior.

Changes

Entitlement attribute resolution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache scope and resource indexing
service/authorization/v2/cache.go, service/internal/access/v2/pdp.go
The cache retains registered resources, obligations, and optional dynamic mappings. Registered resource values use reusable FQN indexes with namespaced and legacy keys.
Entitleable attribute fetching
service/internal/access/v2/entitleable.go, service/internal/access/v2/entitleable_test.go
fetchEntitleableAttributes normalizes and deduplicates FQNs, batches lookups, validates definitions, expands hierarchies, and collects values and subject mappings. Tests cover missing values, invalid definitions, batching, and empty identities.
JIT PDP construction and request targeting
service/internal/access/v2/just_in_time_pdp.go
JustInTimePDP retains registered policy state and builds reusable full-policy or request-scoped targeted PDPs for decisions and entitlement lookups. Missing targeted attributes produce deny behavior.
Targeted PDP behavior validation
service/internal/access/v2/just_in_time_pdp_targeted_test.go
Tests cover subject-mapping matches, targeted fetches, permits, entity mismatches, no matches, NotFound handling, full-policy reuse, and unknown FQNs.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 32f12

A request containing both known and unknown resources can currently deny the known resources as well, causing valid authorization requests to fail. The lookup handling must preserve known-resource decisions before this PR is ready to merge.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with values in rows,
Fetching the FQNs that each request knows.
The cache keeps resources, neat and bright,
While targeted PDPs decide right.
Batches hop softly; denials stay clear.

… targeted path

Direct entitlements and dynamic value mappings entitle attribute values that may
not exist in policy, which targeted GetEntitleableAttributesByFqns lookups cannot
resolve (a non-existent value FQN errors with NotFound). Fall back to the full
policy load when either experimental flag is enabled, mirroring the v1 custom-rego
fallback.

Also degrade a NotFound from a targeted fetch to a per-resource deny instead of an
internal error, matching the prior behavior for unknown resource FQNs.

Comment thread service/internal/access/v2/just_in_time_pdp.go Outdated
Address review feedback on the v2 targeted decisioning path.

- On a batch NotFound from GetEntitleableAttributesByFqns, retry each FQN
  individually so a multi-resource request that mixes known and unknown FQNs
  still decides the known resources; only genuinely missing FQNs are skipped and
  denied per-resource (previously the whole batch built an empty PDP and denied
  every resource).
- In full-policy fallback mode (direct entitlements / dynamic value mappings),
  read attributes and subject mappings from the ready store (refresh cache when
  enabled) instead of a fresh retriever, and re-enable caching of attributes and
  subject mappings, so a cache-enabled deployment no longer re-scans both policy
  endpoints on every request.
