Fight AccessControl

Framework-neutral identity, credential, session, authorization, and account-lifecycle contracts for Fight applications.

The 0.2.0 release adds an opt-in, non-autoloaded OpenAPI component catalog for consumer-owned documents. See OpenAPI composition.

The 0.1.x release line provides the first public-source package milestone while the API remains intentionally pre-1.0.0. It delivers the framework-neutral Domain and Application behavior described by the repository-local product specifications; consumer projects continue to own framework and infrastructure adapters. Tagged package versions intentionally precede full starter implementation so those projects can integrate against immutable version tags and return compatibility findings through later 0.x releases.

Package boundary

Production code follows Domain <- Application:

• Domain contains framework-independent business concepts and depends on no other package layer.
• Application coordinates use cases through Domain types and public Fight Common contracts.
• Application owns the supported access-JWT/opaque-refresh authentication lifecycle through Fight Common ports, while consumer repositories own clients, framework integration, persistence, HTTP, cookies, signing-key configuration, mail, queues, realtime, hosting, and composition-root adapters. This package has no PHP production Adapter layer.

See TICKET-00001 for the repository-local behavioral and security authority.

Current principal composition

Consumers implement AuthenticationContextProvider to expose only the authenticated User ID, refresh-session ID, and authentication version for the current request. The composition root must create a new CurrentPrincipalProvider for each request with that context provider and the package AuthoritativePrincipalResolver. Application handlers use CurrentPrincipalProvider; its first lookup resolves all principal roles and permissions from authoritative repositories and later lookups in the same request return that cached result. Consumers cannot inject role or permission snapshots through this boundary.

After a consumer-owned framework adapter selects and resolves the request's authentication path, its composition root creates one SecurityContext from exactly one AuthenticatedUserPrincipal or AuthenticatedAgentPrincipal. The context exposes that authority's type and delegates its Permission and Role checks. Agents retain only their direct Permissions and have no package-level Roles; framework wrappers, endpoint policy, and response handling remain consumer-owned.

Local development

PHP 8.5 and Docker are required. Tooling follows the Fight Common conventions and runs in the isolated fight-access-control container through repository-owned scripts:

./bin/build is the canonical completion command. It installs the tracked Composer resolution and runs the single ordered ./bin/quality gate. ./bin/build --latest checks the latest dependency versions compatible with composer.json; hosted CI performs that same latest-compatible resolution before invoking ./bin/quality directly.

For a clean, dated release candidate, ./bin/release certify <version> records its exact HEAD and the OpenAPI consumer-composition, planning, and package-quality evidence under ignored .runs/. It is verification-only and does not create a commit, merge, tag, push, or publication.

Coordinate-build scratch work belongs under gitignored .runs/<YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>/. Never stage it. When an approved task needs isolation, create its disposable linked worktree under that run directory at worktree/; run commands from that checkout and remove it only with separate cleanup authorization. See CONTRIBUTING.md for Git Flow, isolation, and review expectations.

Security

Do not disclose suspected vulnerabilities in public issues or pull requests. Follow the private reporting process in SECURITY.md.

Visibility and release effects

These are independent operational effects. Approval for one is not approval for another; each requires a separate approval:

• Public repository visibility exposes the source and history under the repository license.
• Commit creation records reviewed work in Git history.
• Version tag creation gives a selected commit a version identifier.
• Packagist publication makes package metadata discoverable and installable through Packagist.
• Release publication creates a hosted release and its release notes or artifacts.

The repository is public under the MIT License. v0.1.0 is its first public package release; later 0.x versions may refine public contracts before the separate 1.0.0 stability review. A commit hash may still be used for reproducible integration testing, but it is not a version tag or release.
