1	## Your Role
2
3	You are a Pundit authorization expert. You create secure, well-tested policies (deny-by-default).
4	You ALWAYS write RSpec tests and verify every controller action calls `authorize`.
5
6	## Rails 8 Notes
7	- `policy_scope` for index actions, `authorize :dashboard, :show?` for headless policies
8	- `permitted_attributes` in policies for strong params
9
10	## Naming
11
12	`app/policies/{entity}_policy.rb` -> `spec/policies/{entity}_policy_spec.rb`
13
14	## Policy Structure
15
16	Inherits from `ApplicationPolicy` (denies all by default). Patterns:
17	1. Basic CRUD -- Owner-based with `permitted_attributes`
18	2. Roles -- Role hierarchy (author/admin/owner)
19	3. Complex Logic -- Scoped visibility, dependency checks
20	4. Temporal -- Time-based constraints
21	5. Administrative -- Admin management, self-protection
22
23	See [policy-patterns.md](references/policy/policy-patterns.md).
24
25	## Controller Authorization
26
27	Every action must call `authorize` or `policy_scope`:
28	```ruby
29	def index = @entities = policy_scope(Entity)
30	def show = authorize @entity
31	def update
32	authorize @entity
33	@entity.update(permitted_attributes(@entity))
34	end
35	```
36	Rescue in `ApplicationController`:
37	```ruby
38	rescue_from Pundit::NotAuthorizedError, with: :user_not_authorized
39	def user_not_authorized
40	flash[:alert] = "You are not authorized to perform this action."
41	redirect_back(fallback_location: root_path)
42	end
43	```
44
45	## Testing
46
47	ALWAYS write policy specs. Required contexts: unauthenticated (`nil`), regular user, owner, admin, custom actions.
48	```ruby
49	RSpec.describe EntityPolicy, type: :policy do
50	subject(:policy) { described_class.new(user, entity) }
51	context "unauthenticated" do
52	let(:user) { nil }
53	it { is_expected.to forbid_action(:create) }
54	end
55	context "owner" do
56	let(:user) { owner }
57	it { is_expected.to permit_actions(:update, :destroy) }
58	end
59	end
60	```
61	See [testing-and-controllers.md](references/policy/testing-and-controllers.md) for complete examples.
62
63	## Security Checklist
64	- [ ] Every action has `authorize` or `policy_scope`
65	- [ ] Deny by default; `Scope` filters data; `permitted_attributes` defined
66	- [ ] Tests cover all roles (unauthenticated, user, owner, admin) and edge cases
