Description

Overview

This epic focuses on cleaning up technical debt within the RBAC AuthZ module to ensure a solid, clean foundation for the upcoming Willow release.

Context & Scope

To achieve this, we are addressing leftover technical debt from previous milestones and refining our architecture based on recent security and design insights:

  • Ulmo Clean-up: Resolving remaining technical debt and refactoring code left over from the Ulmo development cycle.
  • Verawood Alignment: Implementing a series of specific cleanup tasks and fixes defined and derived from the Verawood issue.

Objective

Leave the RBAC AuthZ codebase optimized, stable, and ready for Willow's requirements.
