  • Remove atomdb_api_types::PublicKey. Key selection now lives in Keychain; ProtectedAtomDB methods take const Keychain& instead of const PublicKey&.
  • Simplify AtomDB::get_access_permissions to a single public_key string, returning one document or nullptr (empty key short-circuits before hashing).

Resolves #1270

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

  • Replaces PublicKey with Keychain in protected AtomDB APIs. Access-permission lookups now accept string keys and return one nullable document.
  • Protected Keychain methods remain unimplemented and raise errors. This creates a correctness risk for authorized operations.
  • Permission lookups reduce vector allocation to one nullable document. LinkTemplate adds one Keychain allocation when authentication tokens exist. No broader hot-path impact is shown.
  • Tests cover empty, missing, deleted, and invalid permissions. Tests do not cover successful authorized protected operations or authorized LinkTemplate queries.

Walkthrough

The change removes the PublicKey type, updates protected APIs to use Keychain, and changes access-permission lookups to accept string keys and return nullable single documents. Tests and mocks use the updated contracts.

Changes

Authorization and Access-Permission Migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protected authorization API
src/atomdb/AtomDBAPITypes.h, src/atomdb/ProtectedAtomDB.*, src/atomdb/auth/Keychain.*, src/agents/query_engine/query_element/*, src/agents/BaseQueryProxy.h
The PublicKey class is removed. Protected operations now accept shared_ptr<Keychain>. Keychain uses string mappings. LinkTemplate stores and constructs a shared Keychain from validated tokens.
Access-permission API and storage
src/atomdb/AtomDB.h, src/atomdb/adapterdb/*, src/atomdb/remotedb/*, src/atomdb/redis_mongodb/*
Access-permission methods now accept string keys and return one nullable permission document. RedisMongoDB hashes the supplied key directly and validates the stored key.
Authorization and lookup validation
src/tests/cpp/*, src/tests/cpp/test_commons/mocks/MockAtomDB.h
Tests and mocks use string-key lookups, nullable results, and updated Keychain terminology. Peer-mapped PublicKey coverage was removed.

Make the test prove backend delegation.

Both calls return the inherited default nullptr. The test still passes if ProtectedAtomDB::get_access_permissions does not call the backend.

Override get_access_permissions in ProtectedInMemoryDB. Record the received key or return a distinct permission document. Then assert that the backend received "any_key".

As per coding guidelines, tests must test “real behavior not trivial coverage.” As per path instructions, tests must not miss assertions on changed production APIs.

26-172: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The migrated ProtectedAtomDB overloads accept Keychain but still all raise “not implemented yet” instead of authorizing and delegating to the backend. Any protected operation that reaches these new overloads therefore fails even with valid credentials. Implement the Keychain overloads by preserving the existing authorization flow and forwarding each operation to the backend.

LinkTemplate builds the parsed Keychain but then calls the no-Keychain query_for_pattern overload, which rejects before executing the protected query. Pass the constructed Keychain to this call so authorized protected queries use the migrated API.

Add brief Doxygen blocks to the public Keychain overloads.

The explicit C++ header guideline requires a /** ... */ block above each public API method. The class-level ProtectedAtomDB description does not satisfy that method-level requirement. Document keychain as the caller-authorization credential. Do not add ownership or nullability claims unless the API defines them.
