UMACS NOTICE
============

This project's architecture (decorator-based FastAPI authentication and
authorization with pluggable identity/authorization backend seams) is
independently developed. During research we found that the open-source library
`casbin-fastapi-decorator` (MIT), by Neko1313, independently converged on a very
similar design. We acknowledge and attribute that prior art.

Reference
---------
- Repository: https://github.com/Neko1313/casbin-fastapi-decorator
- License: MIT
- Components of interest: `casbin-fastapi-decorator-casdoor`
  (CasdoorIntegration, CasdoorUserProvider, CasdoorEnforcerProvider,
  CasdoorEnforceTarget), `AccessSubject`, `CachedFileEnforcerProvider`.

What we may borrow (with attribution)
-------------------------------------
- Dynamic enforcement-target selection from JWT claims (CasdoorEnforceTarget).
- Dynamic authorization-subject resolution from the request/route (AccessSubject).
- Hot-reload Casbin policy files (CachedFileEnforcerProvider).
- pluggable user_provider / enforcer_provider / error_factory seam.

We do NOT vendor or depend on casbin-fastapi-decorator; UMACS remains an
independent implementation. See the wiki ADR #30 and docs/prior-art.md for the
full decision and evaluation.
