hydra-gate-semantic-auth

You can validate PHP controller authorization by running a semantic auth gate check against your codebase. This analysis detects mismatches between routing attributes like #[NoAdminRequired] and internal method security calls to ensure annotation alignment.

A mismatch occurs when a developer adds a routing attribute to satisfy a syntactic gate but fails to remove a conflicting internal security check. This discrepancy between the annotation and the method body creates unauthorized access risks or broken authentication flows.

Ensuring public endpoints lack hidden admin logic requires enforcing security compliance through semantic validation. By scanning PHP controllers for contradictory auth patterns, you can verify that public attributes like #[PublicPage] do not conflict with internal administrative method requirements.

Yes, this semantic auth analysis works with PHP projects using Hydra conventions. It validates compliance with security Architecture Decision Records by examining PHP controller files to ensure attribute annotations align with actual method body security requirements.

You should run a semantic authorization check when adding or modifying controller routing attributes. This identifies discrepancies early, preventing scenarios where an attribute satisfies a syntactic gate but fails to remove a conflicting internal security check, ensuring automated remediation readiness.
