Rules that fit the job

Goal. Write permissions narrow enough that every rogue action is blocked and the trip still books.

Each rule now names the specifics. Check-in Agent may read one reservation. Flight Agent may book flights to one destination, up to a price.

Do this

  1. Open the policy file. Every field you can use is listed in the comment at the top.

    code exercises/03-scoped/policy.ts
  2. Narrow the rules. Run the checks after every change until the result line says clean.

I'm stuck. Give me a hint.
Pin checkin-agent and boarding-agent to reservations: ["UA214"]. Give flight-agent a destination and a maxPrice. Cut traveler.read down with profileFields, and give every agent a maxCharge that matches its share of the budget.

Try your own first. The score checks behavior, so yours does not need to match this one.
