//! # ABAC Context Expression Parser & Evaluator
//!
//! This module provides boolean expression parsing and evaluation for
//! Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC).
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - **Boolean Operators**: AND, OR, NOT
//! - **Comparison Operators**: ==, !=, <, <=, >, >=
//! - **Attribute Queries**: HasAttribute, GetAttribute
//! - **Recursion Limits**: Prevents stack overflow from malicious expressions
//! - **Deterministic Evaluation**: O(N) complexity where N = expression size
//!
//! ## Syntax Examples
//!
//! ```text
//! role == "admin"
//! role == "admin" AND department == "IT"
//! (role == "admin" OR role == "moderator") AND timestamp < "1000"
//! NOT (status == "banned")
//! role == "user" AND (age >= "18" OR has_parent_consent == "true")
//! ```
//!
//! ## Security
//!
//! - Maximum expression depth: 32 (prevents stack overflow)
//! - Maximum expression length: 1024 characters (DoS prevention)
//! - Iterative evaluation where possible (reduces stack usage)

/// Context expression for ABAC evaluation
///
/// This enum represents a boolean expression tree that can be evaluated
/// against a context (attribute map) to determine if conditions are met.
///
/// ## Design Rationale
///
/// - **Recursive Structure**: Allows complex nested conditions
/// - **Type Safety**: Rust's type system prevents malformed expressions
/// - **Deterministic**: No floating point, no random operations
/// - **Serializable**: Can be stored in policy files (YAML/JSON)
///
