Description

Current Limitation

Currently, local policies (filePath is given in manifest) are loaded to workspace's policies directory.

However, in a case where those directories has same name, that collision is not yet handled.

Even though this issue is not critical as users can give different names as a workaround and this is only applicable for local policies, its better to strict or handle such situations.

Suggested Improvement

Option A: Block from giving same name directories

Option B: Add the full path to workspace

Option C: Add a random hash to workspace folders

Option D: Handle only collision with appending a string

Research direction

Start by tracing the AP Gateway build command and the loading of local policies whose manifest filePath is copied into the workspace policies directory. Decide which collision behavior is appropriate from the listed options, then verify that two same-name local policy directories are handled without overwriting each other.
