Summary

This PR introduces manifest-based authorization - a content-based authorization model where authority is anchored to immutable Quilt package manifests rather than mutable S3 paths.

Key Features

  • Package Grants: Authorize access to entire packages via immutable Quilt URIs
  • Translation Grants: Map logical paths to physical S3 locations using package manifests
  • Cedar Integration: New Package entity type and quilt:ReadPackage action
  • Enforcement Routing: Intelligent routing between scope-based and package-based authorization
  • Comprehensive Testing: 10 integration tests + extensive unit coverage

What's Changed

See CHANGELOG.md for complete details:

  • ✨ New models: PackageToken, PackageMapToken, PackageAccessRequest, PackageMap
  • ✨ New enforcement functions: enforce_package_grant(), enforce_translation_grant(), enforce_with_routing()
  • ✨ New token functions: create_token_with_package_grant(), create_token_with_package_map()
  • ✨ New utilities: Quilt URI parsing, package map resolution, wildcard matching
  • ✨ Lambda handler for package resolver
  • 📚 2,849+ lines of design documentation across 6 specs
  • ✅ 10 integration tests + 500+ lines of unit tests
  • 🔧 Cedar parser refactoring and enhanced compiler
  • 🔧 Extended enforcer with package-aware logic
  • 🔧 Control plane API enhancements

Testing

All tests pass with comprehensive coverage of:

  • Package grant authorization (allow/deny member files, write operations)
  • Translation grant authorization (mapped/unmapped paths, multi-region)
  • Token validation and creation
  • Manifest resolution and URI parsing

Documentation

  • docs/rajee-manifest.md - Admin guide for manifest-based authorization
  • specs/4-manifest/ - Complete design documentation (6 documents, 2,849 lines)

Add comprehensive documentation for package grants and manifest authority:

- Add rajee-manifest.md explaining immutable manifest authorization model
- Add specs/4-manifest/01-package-grant.md with detailed package grant design
- Documents Quilt+ URI scheme for immutable package references
- Specifies Cedar model for Package entity type and quilt:ReadPackage actions
- Details RAJEE enforcement via package resolution and membership checking
- Includes implementation plan and security considerations

This extends RAJA/RAJEE to support content-based authorization anchored to
immutable Quilt packages, complementing existing location-based path grants.

Add support for package-based authorization using Quilt URIs:

- Add PackageToken and PackageAccessRequest models for package grants
- Add create_token_with_package_grant() for issuing package tokens
- Add validate_package_token() for validating package tokens
- Add enforce_package_grant() with membership checking callback
- Add quilt_uri.py module for Quilt URI validation
- Export new functions and models from raja package
- Add comprehensive unit tests for package grant functionality

Package grants enable authorization based on manifest membership:
- Tokens contain quilt+s3:// URIs referencing specific packages
- Membership checked via callback to external manifest resolver
- Supports read and readwrite modes for S3 operations

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
Implements package map functionality that enables:
- Logical → physical S3 key translation via manifest
- New PackageMapToken model with logical_bucket/logical_key claims
- enforce_translation_grant() that returns translated physical targets
- Comprehensive unit and integration tests

Key components:
- PackageMap class for managing logical→physical mappings
- Translation enforcement with manifest resolver callback
- S3Location model for physical target representation
- Updated Decision model to include translated_targets

This commit completes the manifest-based authorization work:

- Add new Package entity and quilt:ReadPackage action to Cedar schema
- Implement enforce_with_routing for routing between scope-based and package grant enforcement
- Add manifest.py module with Quilt manifest parsing and validation
- Add package_resolver Lambda handler for resolving package metadata
- Enhance QuiltURI to support revision references and better validation
- Update models with PackageMetadata and enhanced grant structures
- Add comprehensive test coverage for manifest parsing and package resolution
- Document package authorization gaps and hardening requirements

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add return type annotation to _load_quilt3() in manifest.py
- Fix Any return type in control_plane.py by explicitly typing decision
- Apply ruff formatting to imports and line wrapping

This commit enhances the demo command to fully address the manifest-based
authorization specifications in specs/4-manifest/.

New demonstration files:
- tests/integration/test_rajee_package_grant.py: 4 comprehensive tests
  demonstrating package grants (RAJ-package tokens) for content-based
  authorization anchored to immutable Quilt packages
- tests/integration/test_rajee_translation_grant.py: 6 comprehensive tests
  demonstrating translation grants (TAJ-package tokens) for logical-to-
  physical path translation with package manifests

Updated commands:
- ./poe demo: Now runs all 3 authorization modes (17 tests total)
- ./poe demo-envoy: S3 proxy demonstrations only (7 tests)
- ./poe demo-package: Package grant demonstrations only (4 tests)
- ./poe demo-translation: Translation grant demonstrations only (6 tests)

New specification documents:
- specs/4-manifest/05-package-more.md: Additional gaps analysis from
  post-implementation review
- specs/4-manifest/06-demo-coverage.md: Complete documentation of demo
  coverage, test scenarios, and gap analysis

Test results: 17 passed, 1 skipped in ~10 seconds

Key features demonstrated:
- Package grants: membership checking, scalability, fail-closed semantics
- Translation grants: logical→physical translation, multi-region support
- Write protection: both token types enforce read-only mode
- Mock resolvers: deterministic testing without Quilt3 dependencies

Known gaps (documented in 06-demo-coverage.md):
- Cedar compiler doesn't support Package resources yet
- Package wildcard matching not integrated
- Real Quilt3 integration tested separately

Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add comprehensive CHANGELOG documenting all manifest features
- Move CEDAR_INTEGRATION_README.md to docs/ directory
- Clean up Cedar parser and test files

@drernie drernie linked an issue Jan 22, 2026 that may be closed by this pull request
The /compile endpoint was architecturally incorrect. AVP is the
authoritative policy store and evaluator - there's no need to:
1. Fetch policies back from AVP
2. Parse Cedar with a local Python parser
3. "Compile" them to scopes

The correct flow is:
- scripts/load_policies.py expands templates and loads to AVP
- AVP is the source of truth for policy evaluation
- No compilation step needed

Changes:
- Removed POST /compile endpoint from control plane router
- Removed scripts/invoke_compiler.py script
- Removed compile-policies task from pyproject.toml
- Updated deploy task to only run load-policies (not compile)
- Fixed integration test to verify policies exist in AVP
- Removed unit tests for the deleted compile endpoint
