Description

## BUG-25 — RBAC Implemented via Manual HashSet

**Category:** Bug — MCP Code | **Priority:** Medium

### Observation
Role-Based Access Control is implemented via manual HashSet comparisons rather than a structured authorization framework. This is fragile, hard to audit, and difficult to test.

### Evidence
- Issue #636 — RBAC via manual HashSet (O3 finding)

### Impact
Authorization logic is brittle. Adding roles or permissions requires code changes with no policy abstraction. Misconfigurations are easy and hard to detect. Authorization cannot be audited or tested systematically.

### Acceptance Criteria
- [ ] RBAC replaced with a structured authorization policy framework (e.g., policy-based authorization)
- [ ] Roles and permissions defined declaratively
- [ ] Authorization decisions testable via unit tests
- [ ] RBAC configuration auditable without reading application code
