Anand Krishnamoorthi 49bd3c22f3 feat!: add Rego Virtual Machine (RVM) implementation (#495)
* feat!: add Rego Virtual Machine (RVM) implementation

This commit introduces a register-based virtual machine for executing Rego
policies with bytecode-style instructions. Unlike the existing tree-walking
interpreter, the RVM compiles policies into instruction sequences that operate
on virtual registers, offering better performance and optimization potential.

Core Components:

Instruction Set Architecture:
- Define instruction types for data operations, control flow, and builtins
- 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:
- Extensive YAML test suites covering all VM features
- Rust unit tests for VM execution and instruction parsing
- Test suites for loops, comprehensions, builtins, and control flow

BREAKING CHANGE: Introduces new VM execution path alongside interpreter

* docs: add detailed RVM architecture references

Introduce architecture.md explaining program artifacts, serialization, and runtime subsystems.
Document the full opcode catalog in instruction-set.md, including operands, parameter tables, and outcomes.
Walk through execution flow, stacks, and operational guidance in vm-runtime.md, tying the runtime to the new architecture docs.

regorus

Regorus is

  • Rego-Rus(t) - A fast, light-weight Rego interpreter written in Rust.
  • Rigorous - A rigorous enforcer of well-defined Rego semantics.

Regorus can be used in Python via regorus package. (It is not yet available in PyPI, but can be manually built.)

See Repository.

To build this binding, see building

Usage
