Test-only bypass (compile-time secured) +2. **system_actor** - Admin user for systemic operations +3. **authorize?: false** - Bootstrap bypass for circular dependencies + +**All three are necessary and serve different purposes.** + +### 1. NoActor Check + +**Purpose:** Allows CRUD operations without actor in test environment only. + +**Implementation:** +```elixir +# lib/mv/authorization/checks/no_actor.ex +@allow_no_actor_bypass Application.compile_env(:mv, :allow_no_actor_bypass, false) + +def match?(nil, _context, _opts) do + @allow_no_actor_bypass # true in test.exs, false elsewhere +end +``` + +**Security:** +- Compile-time flag (not runtime `Mix.env()` check) +- Default: false (fail-closed) +- Only enabled in `config/test.exs` + +**Use Case:** Test fixtures without verbose actor setup: +```elixir +# With NoActor (test environment only) +member = create_member(%{name: "Test"}) + +# Production behavior (NoActor returns false) +member = create_member(%{name: "Test"}, actor: user) +``` + +**Trade-off:** May mask tests that should fail without actor. Mitigated by explicit policy tests (e.g., `test/mv/accounts/user_policies_test.exs`). + +### 2. System Actor + +**Purpose:** Admin user for systemic operations that must always succeed regardless of user permissions. + +**Implementation:** +```elixir +system_actor = Mv.Helpers.SystemActor.get_system_actor() +# => %User{email: "system@mila.local", role: %{permission_set_name: "admin"}} +``` + +**Security:** +- No password (hashed_password = nil) → cannot login +- No OIDC ID (oidc_id = nil) → cannot authenticate +- Cached in Agent for performance +- Created automatically in test environment if missing + +**Use Cases:** +- **Email synchronization** (User ↔ Member email sync) +- **Email uniqueness validation** (cross-resource checks) +- **Cycle generation** (mandatory side effect) +- **OIDC account linking** (user not yet logged in) +- **Cross-resource validations** (must work regardless of actor) + +**Example:** +```elixir +def get_linked_member(%{member_id: id}) do + system_actor = SystemActor.get_system_actor() + opts = Helpers.ash_actor_opts(system_actor) + + # Email sync must work regardless of user permissions + Ash.get(Mv.Membership.Member, id, opts) +end +``` + +**Why not `authorize?: false`?** +- System actor is explicit (clear intent: "systemic operation") +- Policies are evaluated (with admin rights) +- Audit trail (actor.email = "system@mila.local") +- Consistent authorization flow +- Testable + +### 3. authorize?: false + +**Purpose:** Skip policies for bootstrap scenarios with circular dependencies. + +**Use Cases:** + +**1. Seeds** - No admin exists yet to use as actor: +```elixir +# priv/repo/seeds.exs +Accounts.create_user!(%{email: admin_email}, + authorize?: false # Bootstrap: no admin exists yet +) +``` + +**2.
