policydb-config-audit

Audit PolicyDB config coverage by cross-checking _DEFAULTS against EDITABLE_LISTS to identify missing keys, document deep_merge behavior, and report known configuration gaps.

Deep_merge behavior in PolicyDB settings merges nested dictionaries recursively, and auditing it documents limitations where new config keys might not integrate properly with editable lists.

Run a configuration coverage audit on settings.py when adding new config keys, modifying existing settings, or ensuring _DEFAULTS and EDITABLE_LISTS stay synchronized across PolicyDB.

Known limitations of PolicyDB editable lists include deep_merge constraints where nested structures may not fully propagate, leaving coverage gaps between _DEFAULTS and editable configurations.

Yes, you can cross-check _DEFAULTS against EDITABLE_LISTS after adding settings to verify alignment, catch missing entries, and document any deep_merge coverage gaps in PolicyDB.

Config audit mismatches occur when _DEFAULTS keys lack corresponding EDITABLE_LISTS entries, or deep_merge limitations prevent nested settings from properly merging into the editable configuration.
