📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe policy now preserves constrained and unconstrained capability paths during catalog visibility checks. New tests verify conditional decisions and matching behavior for scoped System entities. A patch changeset documents the fix. ChangesScoped catalog permission handling
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change restores scoped catalog visibility, but conditionally denied projects may still be hidden unconditionally because deny constraints are not preserved. This is a bounded catalog authorization risk that is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up fix. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 2❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)

…entity visibility Fixes openchoreo#763 by replacing unconstrainedPaths with extractPaths in OpenChoreoPermissionPolicy.handleCatalogPermission. This ensures scoped capabilities (e.g. project:view on specific project scopes) are passed to matchesCatalogEntityCapability rather than being dropped as empty allowedPaths.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Keep constrained denies out of the catalog path-only rule.
Line 311 discards each deny constraint. matchesCatalogEntityCapability receives only deniedPaths and denies matching paths before it checks allows. A deny such as ns/acme/project/project-a with an environment CEL condition will therefore hide this project in the catalog even when the condition does not apply.
Keep unconstrainedPaths for denied entries until this rule receives and evaluates the constraints. Unconstrained scoped deny paths remain supported.
Proposed fix
const allowedPaths = extractPaths(actionCapability?.allowed);
-const deniedPaths = extractPaths(actionCapability?.denied);
+const deniedPaths = unconstrainedPaths(actionCapability?.denied);📝 Committable suggestion

Description
Fixes #763
When a user possesses a scoped (non-wildcard)
project:viewgrant (e.g.ns/acme/project/project-a), the Backstage catalog previously returned "No entities found" (All Projects (0)).Root Cause
In
OpenChoreoPermissionPolicy.handleCatalogPermission(plugins/permission-backend-module-openchoreo-policy), the catalog visibility allow-list was constructed usingunconstrainedPaths(actionCapability?.allowed). BecauseunconstrainedPathsdiscards any capability containing scoped or constrained paths,allowedPathsresolved to[], preventingmatchesCatalogEntityCapabilityfrom matching any project entity in the catalog.Solution
unconstrainedPaths(...)withextractPaths(...)for bothallowedanddeniedcapability sets inhandleCatalogPermission.OpenChoreoPermissionPolicy.test.tsto verify that scoped capability paths are preserved inkindCapabilitiesand correctly matched bymatchesCatalogEntityCapability.Verification
