auth_state.rs

1//! Shared auth state for per-table enforcement.
2//!
3//! The [`AuthState`] struct bundles the `require_auth` flag (read from the
4//! catalog) and the cached principal into a single `Arc`-clonable handle.
5//! This handle is cloned into every mounted [`crate::engine::Table`] so the
6//! Table layer can enforce `Select`/`Insert`/`Update`/`Delete` permissions
7//! without holding a reference back to `Database` (which would create a
8//! reference cycle, since `Database` owns the `Arc<Mutex<Table>>` handles).
9//!
10//! The design is intentionally extensible: the [`TableAuthChecker`] trait
11//! lets the daemon (or any future multi-tenant layer) provide its own
12//! principal source — e.g. one that reads from per-request state — while the
13//! embedded default checker reads the `Database`'s cached principal. See
14//! `docs/15-credential-enforcement.md` §4.3.

21/// A cloneable snapshot of the auth state shared between `Database` and every
22/// mounted `Table`. Cloning is cheap (one `Arc` bump).
23///
24/// The `require_auth` flag is read live from the catalog on every check, so
25/// `enable_auth` / offline-disable are reflected immediately. The principal
26/// is the open-time cached value; daemons that need per-request principals
27/// should swap in their own [`TableAuthChecker`].
