Description

Most policy-related API functions overwrite/replace existing policies. This is fine but fairly annoying if you just want to change a policy. We need a package that can:

  • Parse policies into an R representation (basically just jsonlite::fromJSON() with some non-default options)
  • Construct policies in a consistent way (basically just jsonlite::toJSON() with some non-default options)
  • Policy modification functionality (maybe R6 style?)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing policy-related API functions to understand how policies are currently replaced. Define the package boundaries and verify that it can parse policies into R representations, construct them consistently, and support policy modification without overwriting unrelated content.
