Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the permission and token-handling areas of the repository, then read the copied discussion and identify the intended behavior and configuration contract. Work is done only once the project agrees on whether partial tokens, NeedInfo errors, or another approach is required.

Description

Copied from https://github.com/SolidLabResearch/user-managed-access/pull/91 for posterity

  • My main concern is that in the future this might conflict with wanting to throw a NeedInfo error instead returning a partial token. This is also the reason I put this feature in a separate config that needs to be added to enable this.
  • Alternative could be that the client has to indicate in the request that they are OK with receiving a partial result, but the client might not know this.
  • A more extreme alternative might be that the RS can do more advanced ticket requests where boolean operators are introduced.
  • Currently the output includes a boolean to indicate that a token is partial.
