fix(policy): expose standard denial reason contract

[seonghobae]

Buyer/API gap

Protected main's public DenialReason is returned by Decision::Deny, but it did not participate in Rust's standard Display / std::error::Error ecosystem. Downstream policy adapters therefore had to special-case a foundational fail-closed surface rather than retaining typed denial context through ordinary integration error boundaries.

TDD and review lineage

This branch starts directly from protected main 0c376acf059be9ddddddfbde1d0189e4f39ef014.

Exact test-only head a4bc89cecef374940a7b07f4de3945e4ac218ceb required deterministic credential-free text for every current DenialReason variant and required Error::source() to remain empty before production support existed. The minimal production change adds exhaustive Display plus source-free std::error::Error.

CodeRabbit requested source-backed APA 7th attribution for the standard Rust contracts. Exact head 1a13f15613f80f44255ec3fe0dbc5ad5a6a54693 records the Rust 1.97.1 Display and Error API references in the canonical changelog, and the associated inline thread is resolved and outdated.

Implemented contract

The current three-file diff:

• supplies deterministic operator-safe text for all 15 current denial variants;
• keeps MissingCapability typed in the error value without serializing possibly sensitive policy context into the display string;
• exposes no fabricated nested source;
• changes no denial ordering or policy semantics; and
• records the standard-error contract and primary official references in CHANGELOG.md.

Exact-head verification

On unchanged exact head 1a13f15613f80f44255ec3fe0dbc5ad5a6a54693 against exact protected main 0c376acf059be9ddddddfbde1d0189e4f39ef014:

• CI 31858635966: success;
• Rust contracts job 94947857532: repository contracts, formatting, locked workspace/all-target checks, full tests, strict Clippy, and rustdoc success;
• Production coverage job 94947857596: exact owned-production function, line, region, and branch coverage enforcement success;
• SAST Semgrep 31858635989: success;
• Security Scan 31858636028: success;
• the only actionable CodeRabbit thread is resolved/outdated;
• no formal approval or unresolved inline thread is currently returned; and
• GitHub reports the PR open, Ready, and mergeable.

No predecessor-head, queued, skipped, synthetic, or model-only result is promoted as current proof.

Scope boundary

This changes no policy ordering, capability, origin authority, approval, robots, secret, browser, network, persistence, workflow, or release behavior. Passing automation is not independent approval; protected integration remains subject to the live ruleset and unchanged-head review evidence.

Warning

Review limit reached

@seonghobae, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 59 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 1 included review currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.
