Decision 4(b): group-to-role grants live in the authority's versioned policy state, separate from the directory's lifecycle, with provenance kept.

ogar_rbac::group_policy:

  • GroupRolePolicy is an append-only log of PolicyChange::{Grant, Revoke} of (group, role). Each change is its own PolicyVersion, numbered by the log alone and independent of any directory version.
  • Every change carries the GrantProvenance it was made with (by, evidence, at_ms). as_of(v) reads the state at any version, and history() keeps every change.
  • Unread is not empty (decision 5(a)). GroupRoleState::roles_of returns None for a group the policy never named and Some([]) for one whose grants were all revoked, so a consumer such as dir-sim's GroupRoles never infers roles from missing evidence.
  • A change that would not change the state (granting a standing role, revoking an absent one) is refused and not recorded.
  • Groups are named by objectGUID. This adds an ogar-dir-core dependency, which itself has no dependencies.

Tests

  • a_revoked_group_is_empty_not_unread: None vs Some([]), at every version.
  • each_grant_keeps_its_own_provenance: a re-grant after a revoke carries its own provenance, and the log keeps all three changes.
  • a_no_op_change_is_refused: no-op grant and revoke refused; an unknown version is refused.

Disable runs, each red:

  • removing an all-revoked group from the state;
  • keeping the first grant's provenance across a re-grant;
  • dropping the already-granted guard.

cargo test -p ogar-rbac passes (19); clippy -D warnings and fmt are clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added group-to-role access policies with a versioned history of grants and revocations, including who authorized each change and supporting evidence.
    • View the roles assigned to a group at a specific policy version and inspect the provenance of current grants.
    • Duplicate grants and revocations of unassigned roles are rejected without changing the policy.

Which roles a directory group confers is policy, decided by the
authority, not directory state. group_policy::GroupRolePolicy is an
append-only log of Grant/Revoke changes, each its own PolicyVersion
(numbered by the log alone, independent of directory versions) and each
carrying the GrantProvenance it was made with (by, evidence, at_ms).
as_of(v) reads the state at any version.

The state keeps unread and empty apart: roles_of returns None for a
group the policy never named and Some([]) for one whose grants were all
revoked, so a consumer never infers roles from missing evidence. A
change that would not change the state (grant of a standing role,
revoke of an absent one) is refused and not recorded.

Groups are named by objectGUID (ogar-dir-core, no deps of its own).

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4b7de

This change adds a new, self-contained group-role policy log. It can be merged with one small follow-up: refuse grants to the all-zero "absent" group ID. Without that check, a group that is missing its ID could pick up roles.

120-120: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Stop rebuilding the full state on every apply.

Every call to apply runs state_at(self.entries.len()). That call replays the whole log into new BTreeMaps and clones every standing GrantProvenance (two Strings each). The no-op check only needs one fact: whether the latest change for (group, role) was a Grant.

As written, recording N changes costs O(N²) time and allocates heavily. For a long-lived authority log, this cost keeps growing. A reverse scan answers the same question in O(N) with no allocation and no cloning.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-        let state = self.state_at(self.entries.len());
+        let granted = |group: Guid128, role: RoleId| {
+            self.entries.iter().rev().find_map(|e| match e.change {
+                PolicyChange::Grant { group: g, role: r } if g == group && r == role => Some(true),
+                PolicyChange::Revoke { group: g, role: r } if g == group && r == role => Some(false),
+                _ => None,
+            }) == Some(true)
+        };
         match change {
-            PolicyChange::Grant { group, role } if state.confers(group, role) => {
+            PolicyChange::Grant { group, role } if granted(group, role) => {
                 return Err(PolicyError::AlreadyGranted(group, role));
             }
-            PolicyChange::Revoke { group, role } if !state.confers(group, role) => {
+            PolicyChange::Revoke { group, role } if !granted(group, role) => {
                 return Err(PolicyError::NotGranted(group, role));
             }

`state_at(self.entries.len())`, which rebuilds and clones the full policy state
on every change. Determine whether the latest entry for the `(group, role)` pair
is a `Grant` by scanning `self.entries` in reverse, and use that result for both

Review (Codex P2): apply rebuilt the whole state from the log for every
change, so N changes cost O(N^2) work and allocations. The policy now
keeps the head state, updated by the same step() a replay uses, so the
two cannot disagree; as_of(head) returns it, older versions still
replay. The provenance test also checks the cached head against a fresh
replay.

Review (CodeRabbit): Guid128::default() means "absent". A consumer that
resolves an unread objectGUID to it would pick up whatever was granted
to zero, i.e. roles inferred from missing evidence. apply now refuses
any change naming it (PolicyError::AbsentGroup) before recording.

Test the_absent_group_is_refused: red before, green after.
