Refactor: NoActor to SimpleCheck with compile-time environment check
This prevents security issues where :create/:read without actor would be allowed in production. Now all operations require an actor in production.

Custom Ash Policy Check that allows actions when no actor is present.
|
||||
|
||||
This is primarily used for:
|
||||
- Database seeding (priv/repo/seeds.exs)
|
||||
- Test fixtures that create data without authentication
|
||||
- Background jobs that operate on behalf of the system
|
||||
**IMPORTANT:** This check ONLY works in test environment for security reasons.
|
||||
In production/dev, ALL operations without an actor are denied.
|
||||
|
||||
## Security Note
|
||||
|
||||
This check should only be used for specific actions where system-level
|
||||
access is appropriate. It should always be combined with other policy
|
||||
checks that validate actor-based permissions when an actor IS present.
|
||||
This check uses compile-time environment detection to prevent accidental
|
||||
security issues in production. In production, ALL operations (including :create
|
||||
and :read) will be denied if no actor is present.
|
||||
|
||||
For seeds and system operations in production, use an admin actor instead:
|
||||
|
||||
admin_user = get_admin_user()
|
||||
Ash.create!(resource, attrs, actor: admin_user)
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage in Policies
|
||||
|
||||
policies do
|
||||
# Allow seeding and system operations
|
||||
policy action_type(:create) do
|
||||
# Allow system operations without actor (TEST ENVIRONMENT ONLY)
|
||||
# In test: All operations allowed
|
||||
# In production: ALL operations denied (fail-closed)
|
||||
bypass action_type([:create, :read, :update, :destroy]) do
|
||||
authorize_if NoActor

## Behavior
|
||||
|
||||
- Returns `{:ok, true}` when actor is nil (allows action)
|
||||
- Returns `{:ok, :unknown}` when actor is present (delegates to other policies)
|
||||
- `auto_filter` returns nil (no filtering needed)
|
||||
- In test environment: Returns `true` when actor is nil (allows all operations)
|
||||
- In production/dev: Returns `false` when actor is nil (denies all operations - fail-closed)

- Returns `false` when actor is present (delegates to other policies)
