Summary of Changes
Hello @jakedoublev, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request implements a targeted fix to enhance the robustness of the authorization policy decision point (PDP) by ensuring that protocol buffer fields are accessed using their nil-safe getter methods. This change prevents potential panics that could occur if a directly accessed field were nil, thereby improving the overall stability and reliability of the access control system.
Highlights
- Bug Fix: Corrected a direct access of a protocol buffer field (
Value) to use its generated nil-safe getter method (GetValue()) within the Policy Decision Point (PDP) logic.

Code Review
This pull request aims to fix a direct access of a protobuf field by using a nil-safe getter, which is a good practice for correctness and to prevent panics. The change is in the right direction, but it's incomplete as another direct field access remains on the same line. My review includes a suggestion to fully resolve this issue.
