2
+ * The shared access-verdict primitive (abofs/stonyx-orm#234).
3
+ *
4
+ * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
5
+ * WHY THIS FILE EXISTS: ONE INTERPRETER, NOT TWO
6
+ * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
7
+ * A consumer `access()` may return six differently-shaped things -- `false`, a
8
+ * bare permission string, a permission array, `true`, a per-record function, or
9
+ * something the contract does not define at all -- and the reading of each one
10
+ * is a security decision. `auth()` has held that reading inline since #190.
11
+ * Every surface that needs to ask "may this caller see model X's record?" needs
12
+ * the SAME reading, or the second copy becomes an unreviewed second
13
+ * authorization vocabulary that answers differently about the same value.
14
+ *
15
+ * So `interpretAccess` is extracted here and `auth()` now calls it. It is the
16
+ * only place a return shape is classified, and abofs/stonyx-orm#232 and #233
17
+ * rebase onto it rather than re-deriving it.
18
+ *
19
+ * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
20
+ * WHAT A LINKAGE FILTER IS, AND WHY THE CALLER BUILDS IT
21
+ * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
22
+ * `Record.toJSON()` APPLIES a verdict; it never RESOLVES one. That is not a
23
+ * style choice, it is forced, and it was measured before it was decided:
24
+ *
25
+ * INPUT: origin/dev @ c5f7907, unpatched -> 967 pass / 0 fail
26
+ * INPUT: same + fail-closed resolution INSIDE toJSON() -> 964 pass / 3 fail
27
+ *
28
+ * and all three reds were over-denial of PERMITTED records, not the leak. Two
29
+ * independent reasons:
30
+ *
31
+ * 1. `toJSON()` has no request. The shipped, documented sample reads
32
+ * `request.path` for its `/archived` sub-path rule -- the one read of
33
+ * argument one the README sanctions -- and fail-closes when it is absent.
34
+ * Measured against the live registry:
35
+ *
36
+ * getAccess('owner')(undefined, { model:'owner', operation:'read' }) -> false
37
+ * getAccess('animal')(undefined,{ model:'animal', operation:'read' }) -> [Function]
38
+ *
39
+ * Same predicate object, two models, two different degradation modes,
40
+ * chosen by the consumer. Without a request there is no trustworthy
41
+ * answer to get.
42
+ *
43
+ * 2. `toJSON` is also the `JSON.stringify` hook, so `JSON.stringify({data:
44
+ * record})` calls `record.toJSON('data')` -- a STRING in the options slot.
45
+ * An implicit caller has no syntactic place to pass anything
46
+ * (abofs/stonyx-orm#230). The no-argument document must therefore stay
47
+ * byte-identical to what shipped, which also rules out fail-closed by
48
+ * default: `Orm.instance.accessFunctions` is `{}` in any process that
49
+ * never ran `setup-rest-server` (CLI, SQL-only, unit tests), so a
50
+ * fail-closed default would empty every relationship on every document in
51
+ * processes that have no REST surface to protect.
52
+ *
53
+ * The caller -- which still holds the request -- resolves the predicate,
54
+ * interprets it here, caches the answer, and hands `toJSON()` an already-decided
55
+ * `(type, record) => boolean`.

102

109
+ * the ANSWER is model-correct is the CONSUMER's, because only a predicate that
110
+ * READS `context.model` can give one. Since #222 this repo's fixture does. A
111
+ * consumer's arity-1 predicate does not, and there is no supported way to tell
112
+ * which kind was resolved (the boot-time arity warning is
113
+ * abofs/stonyx-orm#213/#221, unshipped).
114
+ *
115
+ * BOTH DEGRADATION DIRECTIONS ARE REACHABLE, AND THE SECOND ONE GRANTS. This is
116
+ * measured, not reasoned:
117
+ *
118
+ * - CLOSED. The migrated fixture's surviving `request.path` read means asking
119
+ * the OWNER predicate on a request dispatched to `GET /animals/archived`
120
+ * returns a bare `false` -- a whole-request deny bleeding across models,
121
+ * treated here as "deny this linkage", not as an error. That over-denies a
122
+ * PERMITTED record.
123
+ * - OPEN. An arity-1 predicate -- the shape `setup-rest-server.ts:15-18`
124
+ * still declares valid and the README calls the default in every consumer
125
+ * tree -- identifies its collection from the request, so asked about
126
+ * `owner` on a request dispatched to `/animals` it answers about ANIMALS.
127
+ * Measured against this repo's own fixture with `reg.owner` replaced by an
128

186
+ * Build a request-scoped linkage filter.
187
+ *
188
+ * TWO CACHES, AND BOTH ARE LOAD-BEARING RATHER THAN AN OPTIMISATION:
189
+ *
190
+ * - one verdict per TYPE. Resolving means CALLING the consumer's `access()`,
191
+ * which is arbitrary code with arbitrary cost and which the module has
192
+ * already had to guard for throwing.
193
+ * - one decision per `(type, id)`. `included` is deduplicated by
194
+ * `buildResponse`; LINKAGE is not deduplicated at all, so it re-asks once
195
+ * per record. Measured on a bare `GET /animals` with no `include=`:
196
+ * 48 linkage entries -> 7 distinct `(type, id)` pairs (owner 20, trait 28),
197
+ * a 6.9x reduction and 41 predicate calls saved.
198
+ *
199
+ * The `(type, id)` cache is a `Map` per type keyed on the RAW id, not on a
200
+ * template-string composite. `Map` compares with SameValueZero, so the numeric
201
+ * id `1` and the string id `'1'` stay DISTINCT, where `` `${type}:${id}` `` --
202
+ * or a bare `String(id)` -- collapses them onto one entry and answers the second
203
+ * record with the first record's verdict.
204
+ *
205
+ * WHAT THAT DOES AND DOES NOT PROTECT. It cannot cross MODELS. `decisions` is
206
+ * already partitioned per type by `byType`, so a composite key inside a per-type
207
+ * map is one-to-one with the raw one and no owner's verdict could ever answer
208
+ * for an animal -- the claim that once stood here. The real exposure is narrower
209
+ * and entirely WITHIN one model: two records of the same type whose ids differ
210
+ * only by JavaScript type, which a per-record predicate may legitimately answer
211
+ * differently about (an id read off a JSON body is a string; the same id
212
+ * assigned by the server is a number). Pinned by unit assertion, because this
213
+ * fixture cannot produce the collision on its own -- `owner` ids are strings and
214
+ * `animal` ids are numbers.
215
+ *
216
+ * SCOPE IS ONE REQUEST. The filter closes over the request and must not outlive
217
+ * it -- a verdict cached across requests would answer a second caller with the
218
+ * first caller's authorization.
219
+ *
220
+ * A REQUEST IS REQUIRED, AND ITS ABSENCE IS CHECKED HERE RATHER THAN DELEGATED.
221
+ * This function is EXPORTED (src/index.ts), and the README's Consumer Contracts
222
+ * section points consumers at exactly the contexts that have no live request --
223
+ * a queue payload, a websocket frame, a custom route. Without one there is no
224
+ * caller to authorise against, and this file's header already says so: the
225
+ * shipped sample reads `request.path` and fail-closes when it is absent, so
226
+ * `getAccess('owner')(undefined, ...)` is `false`, while
227
+ * `getAccess('animal')(undefined, ...)` returns a per-record predicate and
228
+ * GRANTS. Measured on this repo's own fixture before this guard existed:
229
+ *
230
+ * createLinkageFilter(undefined | null | {} | 'x' | 0)
231
+ * -> owner=false animal=TRUE trait=TRUE category=TRUE phone-number=TRUE
232
+ *
233
+ * Four of five claimed models granted, with no log, because whether an absent
234
+ * request fails closed was left ENTIRELY to consumer predicates -- and a
235
+ * predicate that ignores its request cannot fail closed on one that is missing.
236
+ * A nullish or primitive `request` therefore denies every model outright and
237
+ * says so once, at construction, so the signal exists even for a caller that
238
+ * goes on to serialize nothing.
239
+ *
240
+ * WHAT THIS CANNOT CHECK: `{}` is an object and passes. There is no request
241
+ * contract this module owns -- `auth()` reads `.method`, the shipped sample
242
+ * reads `.path`, a consumer's reads whatever it likes -- so anything past
243
+ * "is it an object" would be this module inventing a shape for someone else's
