* feat: add Azure Policy builtins with YAML test suite
Implement ARM template functions for Azure Policy evaluation:
Builtins:
- String: indexOf, lastIndexOf, trim, format, split, startsWith, endsWith,
padLeft, concat, replace, toLower, toUpper, substring, guid, uniqueString
- DateTime: dateTimeAdd, dateTimeFromEpoch, dateTimeToEpoch, addDays
- Collection: intersection, union, take, skip, first, last, min, max,
range, items, tryGet, tryIndexFromEnd, empty, array, createObject
- Encoding: base64, base64ToString, base64ToJson, uri, uriComponent,
uriComponentToString, dataUri, dataUriToString
- Numeric: int, float, intDiv, intMod
- Misc: json, join, bool, string, coalesce, if, getParameter, resolveField
- Logic: logicAll, logicAny
Key implementation details:
- Unicode case-insensitive search via ICU4X case folding with single-pass
fold_with_char_map() for indexOf/lastIndexOf
- .NET composite formatting (System.String.Format) with alignment, standard
and custom datetime format specifiers, numeric format specifiers
- DateTime round-trip preserves input shape (Z vs +00:00, T vs space,
fractional seconds) when no explicit output format is supplied
- Zero-cost as_str() helper borrows directly from Value::String(Rc<str>)
- BTreeSet<&Value> in array union avoids redundant cloning
Test suite:
- 53 YAML test files exercising all builtins via direct BUILTINS registry
- Coverage for edge cases: empty inputs, Unicode, fractional seconds,
invalid alignment, unknown format specifiers, RFC3339 offset shapes

* fix: add missing edge-case tests and fix empty-delimiter panic
- fn_split: return input as single-element array for empty string
delimiter instead of panicking (Rust's str::split("") panics)
- format: add test for F3 higher precision ({0:F3} + 1.23456 → 1.235)
- format: add test for N2 float with thousands separator
- format: add test for negative index error ({-1})
- split: add test for empty-string delimiter
- uri: add tests for query string and fragment in relative URI
- createObject: add test for non-string (numeric) keys

* fix: address fourth round of PR review comments
- Add MAX_VARIADIC_ARGS (64) constant for variadic builtin arity
instead of registering with 0 (logic_all, logic_any, min, max,
format, intersection, union, coalesce, createObject); set
dateTimeAdd to exact arity 3
- Switch indexOf/lastIndexOf to UTF-16 code-unit indices to match
.NET String.IndexOf semantics (track ch.len_utf16() in
fold_with_char_map, use encode_utf16().count() for empty-needle
lastIndexOf)
- Use DateTime::<Utc>::from_timestamp for explicit timezone type
- Remove stale docs/azure-policy/casing.md link from module doc
- Fix misleading comment in want_error test branch (code bails on
Undefined, not accepts it)

* perf!: add LRU caches for compiled regex and glob patterns
Add bounded LRU caches for compiled regex and glob patterns used by
Rego builtins, avoiding repeated recompilation of the same patterns
during policy evaluation.
New `cache` feature (included in `full-opa` and `opa-no-std`) backed by
the `lru` crate (no_std compatible) with `spin::Mutex` for thread safety.
- `src/cache.rs`: generic `LruCache<V>` wrapper, global `REGEX_CACHE`
(default capacity 256) and `GLOB_CACHE` (default capacity 128)
- `src/builtins/regex.rs`: all regex builtins route through the cache
- `src/builtins/glob.rs`: glob.match routes through the cache
- Public API: `regorus::cache::{Config, configure, clear}`
Compilation costs avoided per cache hit:
regex 10-55 µs (simple to complex patterns)
glob 10-12 µs
LRU hit ~10 ns
BREAKING CHANGE: new `cache` Cargo feature added to `full-opa` and
`opa-no-std` feature sets; adds `lru` as a dependency.

* perf(vm): amortize per-instruction memory and time limit checks
Deduplicate per-instruction memory_check calls by hoisting them to the
main dispatch loop, and amortize monotonic_now() syscalls in the
execution timer by checking elapsed time every N instructions instead
of on every tick.
Signed-off-by: Anand Krishnamoorthi <anakrish@microsoft.com>
* fix(vm): correct object membership to check values only, not keys
The Contains instruction for objects was checking both keys and values:
object_fields.contains_key(v) || object_fields.values().any(|v| ...)
Per the Rego specification, `x in obj` tests whether x is a VALUE of
the object, not a key. The two-argument form `k, v in obj` is needed
to access keys. The interpreter already implemented this correctly
(values-only scan), but the RVM had the extra contains_key() check
which would incorrectly return true when the search value happened to
match a key name.
Remove the contains_key() branch so the behavior matches the interpreter
and the Rego spec. Add two regression tests:
- object_membership_checks_values_not_keys: "foo" in {"foo": "bar"}
must be false (key, not a value)
- object_membership_finds_value: "bar" in {"foo": "bar"} must be true

* perf(compiler): hoist all-constant collection literals to the literal table
When an array, set, or object literal consists entirely of compile-time
constant expressions (numbers, strings, bools, null, and nested constant
collections), the compiler now evaluates them at compile time and emits a
single Load instruction from the literal table instead of generating
per-element instructions at runtime.
Previously, a Rego expression like `x in [1, 2, 3]` would emit
ArrayCreate + three Load + three ArrayAppend instructions, allocating a
new Vec and Rc on every evaluation. With this change, the entire array
is built once during compilation and loaded as a single constant.
This optimization applies to all three collection types:
- Array literals: avoids ArrayCreate + N x (Load + ArrayAppend)
- Set literals: avoids SetCreate + N x (Load + SetAdd)
- Object literals: avoids ObjectCreate + N x (Load + Load + ObjectInsert)
The implementation adds a try_eval_const() helper that recursively
evaluates an AST expression as a constant Value, returning None if any
sub-expression is non-constant. Each compile method for collection
literals attempts the all-constant fast path first and falls through to
the existing instruction-by-instruction codegen otherwise.

* perf(compiler): fuse Eq + AssertCondition into AssertEq instruction
Add a new `AssertEq { left, right }` instruction that combines equality
comparison and condition assertion into a single operation. This replaces
the previous two-instruction pattern of `Eq { dest, left, right }` followed
by `AssertCondition { condition: dest }`, saving one instruction and one
register per equality assertion.
The fused instruction checks two registers for equality and directly calls
handle_condition with the result, avoiding the intermediate boolean
register entirely. If either operand is undefined or the values differ,
the condition fails and the rule/loop backtracks.
The optimization applies to four destructuring sites:
- EqualityCheck (assignment re-binding with `x = expr; x = expr`)
- EqualityExpr (destructuring against an expression)
- EqualityValue (destructuring against a literal value)
- assert_array_length (array length validation in destructuring)
In soft_assert_mode the compiler still emits the original Eq instruction
since the boolean result register is needed by callers.
Signed-off-by: Anand Krishnamoorthi <anakrish@microsoft.com>
* perf(compiler): fuse Not + AssertCondition into AssertNot instruction
Add a new `AssertNot { operand }` instruction that combines logical
negation and condition assertion into a single operation. This replaces
the previous two-instruction pattern of `Not { dest, operand }` followed
by `AssertCondition { condition: dest }`, saving one instruction and one
register allocation.
The fused instruction checks the operand register and passes the
condition if the value is false or undefined (per Rego semantics where
`not expr` succeeds when the expression has no results or is false),
and fails the condition if the value is true or any non-boolean truthy
value.
This was the only emission site for the Not+AssertCondition pair,
occurring in the compilation of `Literal::NotExpr` statements.

* perf(vm): early exit for same-value multi-definition rules

* feat!: expose cache configuration API to all language bindings
Add `set_cache_config` and `clear_cache` functions to every binding
so callers can tune or reset the global regex/glob pattern caches
introduced in the cache feature.
Bindings updated:
- FFI (C): `regorus_set_cache_config`, `regorus_clear_cache`
- C++ header: free functions `regorus::set_cache_config`, `regorus::clear_cache`
- Python: module-level `set_cache_config(*, regex, glob)`, `clear_cache()`
- Java: static methods on new `CacheConfig` class
- Go: package-level `SetCacheConfig`, `ClearCache`
- Ruby: module functions `Regorus.set_cache_config`, `Regorus.clear_cache`
- WASM: free functions `setCacheConfig`, `clearCache`
- C#: static methods `Engine.SetCacheConfig`, `Engine.ClearCache`
BREAKING CHANGE: Bump SERIALIZATION_VERSION from 4 to 5 due to new
AssertEq and AssertNot instruction variants added in the instruction
fusion commits. Programs serialized with version 5 cannot be loaded
by older versions of regorus.
* fix: address PR review feedback
Cache subsystem:
- Gate REGEX_CACHE and related imports behind #[cfg(feature = "regex")]
so that building with --features cache without regex compiles correctly.
- Gate LruCache struct behind #[cfg(any(feature = "regex", feature = "glob"))].
- Add Config::MAX_CAPACITY (2^16) hard upper bound; clamp values in
configure() to prevent unbounded cache growth.
- Use parking_lot::Mutex for std builds and spin::Mutex for no_std to
avoid CPU spinning under contention in tight regex/glob eval loops.
- Narrow lock scopes in regex/glob builtins: release the mutex before
compiling a pattern, then re-acquire to insert.
Java JNI binding:
- Fix cache config overflow: negative jlong values now saturate to 0
and positive overflow saturates to usize::MAX (then clamped by
MAX_CAPACITY) instead of silently disabling the cache.
- Gate JNI cache config/clear functions behind #[cfg(feature = "cache")].
Compiler:
- Refactor static_value_of_expr to delegate to try_eval_const,
gaining support for negated numbers and constant collections.
- Make try_eval_const pub(in crate::languages::rego::compiler) and
re-export through expressions.rs.
- Handle Expr::UnaryExpr with numeric literals in try_eval_const so
collections containing negated numbers (e.g. [-1, 2]) are hoisted.
VM correctness:
- Fix Not instruction to follow Rego semantics: not expr yields
true when expr is undefined or false, false for any other defined
value (including non-booleans) -- no longer errors on non-boolean
operands.
- Add enforce_memory_check() call at execute_suspendable_entry to
ensure memory limits are checked before the first instruction.
- Update AssertNot listing comment to "exit if any defined truthy
value" to match actual VM behaviour.
- Add doc comment on Not instruction clarifying Rego negation
semantics.
Bindings:
- Fix C++ header indentation for set_cache_config / clear_cache.
- Propagate Cargo.lock parking_lot addition across ffi, java, python,
and wasm binding lockfiles.

Policy evaluation at scale needs to be able to set memory limits
so that a bad policy does not hog memory or to ensure that
policy evaluation itself does not use too much memory which could
cause other components to suffer.
This PR introduces capability to set and enforce global memory limits.
It also lays the groundwork for enabling per evaluation limits in future.
Once a global memory limit is set, Regorus maintains per thread counters
to track memory activity (allocation, deallocation) of a thread.
These counters are periodically flushed to global memory counters.
Per thread counters avoid the contention that updating global counters
on each alloc/free would cause.
Policy evaluation periodically checks these counters and raises errors
if allocated memory has exceeded the configured limit.
Currently memory limit capability is exposed only to FFI and C#.
Also update mimalloc to v2.2.6

- Implement instruction parameter encoding and display formatting
- Add instruction parser with comprehensive test coverage
Virtual Machine Engine:
- Register-based execution model with program counter management
- Loop execution supporting iterators, comprehensions, and quantifiers
- Function call handling with argument evaluation and context management
- Rule evaluation with default value resolution and virtual data support
- Arithmetic and comparison operation implementations
Program Representation:
- Program listing builder with instruction sequencing
- Rule tree construction for organizing policy rules
- Binary and JSON serialization for compiled programs
- Recompilation support for program modification
Testing Infrastructure:

Introduce a compiler pass that analyzes and pre-computes loop hoisting information
during policy compilation. This hoisted metadata is stored in lookup tables and made
available to downstream consumers:
- interpreter: use HoistedLoop entries during evaluation (replaces runtime scanning)
- type inference: can leverage pre-computed loop structure for type propagation
- RVM compiler: will consume hoisting metadata for optimized bytecode generation
Changes:
- populate loop hoisting tables during engine preparation and query snippet execution
- refactor eval_stmts_in_loop and eval_output_expr_in_loop to consume HoistedLoop directly
- add helper methods for accessing loop expressions, collections, and indices from HoistedLoop
- extend Lookup with get_checked and into_slots for safe query context access and merging

- Implement discriminated subobjects for polymorphic type definitions
- Add comprehensive test suite covering all type variants
- Include Azure resource schema examples (Storage, VM, Key Vault, App Service)
- Create meta-schema validation system with lazy static validator
- Add extensive edge case and corner case test coverage

Indexes allow associating extra data with nodes in the AST
using an array and then quickly looking up the array to fetch
the extra data.
- Index eidx for expressions
- Index sidx for statements
- Index qidx for queries.
AST nodes are not cloneable. Therefore once a module is created,
it is not possible to accidentally create two nodes with the same
index inadvertently via clone.
Also added IndexChecker in debug builds. When a module is parsed,
it will assert that indexes have been constructed correctly.

to match all other expressions
- Merge True and False nodes into a single Bool node.
