📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ACL LIST now accepts optional user, role, or all filters. ACL USERS returns username-only output. Command metadata, help text, logging, and unit tests were updated.

Changes

ACL LIST filtering

Layer / File(s) Summary
ACL LIST command contracts
src/commands.def, src/commands/acl-list.json
The command definitions declare an optional filter argument and variable arity. Summaries and complexity descriptions include users and roles.
ACL LIST runtime filtering
src/acl.c
The ACL handler validates filters, selects users and roles, reports unknown filters, and keeps ACL USERS output as usernames only. Help text and command logging were updated.
ACL LIST filtering tests
tests/unit/acl.tcl
Tests cover user, role, all, invalid filters, and username-only ACL USERS output.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

The new role-filter behavior lacks a positive integration assertion. Add a role fixture before merging to ensure future changes cannot silently return an empty role-filtered result.

Two issues in src/acl.c need fixing. CI also reports a clang-format failure, and the missing DCO sign-off is noted separately.

Add a role fixture to verify ACL LIST role.

The test creates no roles, so an implementation that emits no role entries still passes. Existing role tests create and delete roles but do not replace this filtered ACL LIST role coverage. Create a role and assert that the filtered result contains its role <name> ... record.
