Thread is_admin into AuthContext and short-circuit RBAC authorization for admins, approving all requests. The bypass is a single explicit check and is logged for audit, so it is easy to find and to later scope down if admins should still respect some constraints.

Add a DEFAULT_ACCESS_ROLE setting whose scopes are evaluated as a fallback when no explicit grant matches, so deployments can express graceful defaults (e.g. read on *) without flipping the whole policy to permissive. The default role's scopes are pre-loaded into AuthContext and evaluated together with the principal's own scopes: _make_decision now gathers all candidate scopes (explicit grants + default role) and resolves them in one step, then falls back to default_access_policy. Collecting candidates before deciding (rather than a nested allow-ladder) keeps the door open for future deny/precedence rules. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

Adds a
DEFAULT_ACCESS_ROLEsetting whose scopes are evaluated as a fallback when no explicit grant matches. This lets a deployment express graceful defaults (e.g. "everyone gets read on*") without flipping the entire policy topermissive. This is the configurable-default-access piece of the RBAC proposal.default_access_roleconfig (defaultNone).AuthContext(keeps authorization DB-free)._make_decisionnow collects all candidate scopes (explicit grants + default role) and resolves them in one step, then falls back todefault_access_policy. Gathering candidates before deciding (instead of a nested allow-ladder) leaves room for future deny/precedence rules without restructuring.No behavior change by default (
default_access_role=None,default_access_policy=permissive).
