# Policy

**Test family:** `POL`

- **POL-001** Define precedence among global/tenant/team/role/user/resource allow/deny and test conflicts.
- **POL-002** Policy version/effective interval and grandfathering produce reproducible historical decisions.
- **POL-003** Missing dependency/attribute fails closed for sensitive actions.
- **POL-004** Exception/override requires authorized actor, reason, scope, expiry, and review.
- **POL-005** Policy edit validates lockout/last-admin/high-blast-radius outcomes and supports safe rollback.
- **POL-006** Decision explanation reveals enough for authorized debugging without exposing protected policy/data.

## Comprehensive per-item coverage

- **POL-007** Exercise no match, one match, many matches, and boundary-size batches with ordinary and adversarial records.
- **POL-008** Use text values containing emoticons, emoji, kaomoji, RTL, combining marks, quotes, delimiters, and newlines; preserve comparison and substitution semantics.
- **POL-009** Deliver the same event once, twice, late, out of order, and after replay; define deduplication and event-time behavior.
- **POL-010** Race matching events and concurrent workflow instances against the same record; prevent lost updates and duplicate effects.
- **POL-011** Retry before commit, after commit before acknowledgment, and after downstream partial success; use stable idempotency.
- **POL-012** Change the condition, template, permission, owner, or target after scheduling but before execution; define snapshot versus latest semantics.
- **POL-013** Run across daylight-saving gaps/folds, leap day, month end, differing tenant zones, clock skew, and delayed workers.
- **POL-014** Pause, resume, disable, edit, clone, publish, roll back, and delete while runs are queued or active; preserve version identity.
- **POL-015** Create direct, indirect, and cross-workflow loops; detect recursion, cap fan-out, and expose why execution stopped.
- **POL-016** Test missing fields, nulls, type changes, unknown enums, deleted references, schema migrations, and malformed payloads.
- **POL-017** Run as creator, owner, service identity, changed-role user, removed user, and least-privilege actor; define execution authority explicitly.
- **POL-018** Cross tenant, workspace, region, and environment boundaries only when explicitly authorized; prevent shared caches or queues from leaking data.
- **POL-019** Force dependency timeout, rate limit, quota, authentication expiry, malformed response, and permanent rejection; route each to a defined failure path.
- **POL-020** Verify compensation or rollback for partial multi-step work, including a compensation failure and manual recovery.
- **POL-021** Measure queue delay, execution latency, throughput, fan-out, backlog, and recovery under the supported load envelope.
- **POL-022** Provide dry-run or preview where consequences justify it; identify evaluated inputs, matched conditions, and proposed actions without mutation.
- **POL-023** Verify alerting distinguishes user-data failure, configuration failure, platform failure, and exhausted retries without notification storms.
- **POL-024** Record immutable version, trigger/event ID, evaluated conditions, actor, permissions, each attempt, side effect, and final outcome without secrets.
- **POL-025** Replay a historical event against the same and newer definition in an isolated mode; make semantic changes visible.
- **POL-026** Recover after worker crash, queue redelivery, regional failover, and prolonged outage without losing or duplicating committed work.
