Feature: Transformations through the ERS service path
Validate that output_mapping transformations (array, csv_to_array, lowercase)
work correctly through the full ERS service → gRPC → authorization pipeline,
not just at the unit test level.

Transformation unit tests exist in claims_mapper_test.go and ldap_mapper_test.go,
but no BDD feature exercises a transformation through the actual service path
where OutputMapper is called (service.go:269-271). This catches integration
issues between transformation output format and subject mapping evaluation.

This covers Jake's gap analysis row #5.

Background:
And an ERS configuration with mode "multi-strategy" and failure strategy "continue"
And an ERS provider "jwt_claims" of type "claims"
And an ERS mapping strategy "claims_with_array_transform" using provider "jwt_claims"
"""

jwt_claims:

@multi-strategy-ers-multi-success @stateless
Feature: Multiple successful strategies under continue build multi-entity chain
Validate that failure_strategy "continue" keeps evaluating strategies after a
successful match, building a richer entity chain via CreateEntityChainsFromTokens.
When both claims and LDAP strategies succeed for the same JWT token, the chain
contains entities from both strategies. Each entity is evaluated independently
for authorization (AND semantics), so both must be entitled for PERMIT.

This covers Jake's gap analysis row #4: no existing test verifies the resulting
multi-entity chain when two strategies both succeed under continue.

Background:
Given an LDAP directory with test users
And a user exists with username "alice" and email "alice@opentdf.test" and the following attributes:
| name | value |
And a user exists with username "eve" and email "eve@opentdf.test" and the following attributes:
| name | value |
And an ERS configuration with mode "multi-strategy" and failure strategy "continue"
And an ERS provider "jwt_claims" of type "claims"
And an ERS provider "ldap_directory" of type "ldap" connected to the LDAP directory
And an ERS mapping strategy "claims_identity" using provider "jwt_claims"

Scenario: Both strategies succeed — multi-entity chain built, both entities entitled → PERMIT

# Alice's token triggers both strategies under continue:
# 1. Claims strategy outputs {username: alice}
# 2. LDAP strategy finds alice → outputs {department: engineering, username: alice}

Scenario: Both strategies succeed — one entity not entitled → DENY (AND semantics)
Given I submit a request to create a namespace with name "multi-success-deny.test" and reference id "ns_msd"
And I send a request to create an attribute with:
| namespace_id | name | rule | values |

# Subject mapping requires department=engineering. Claims entity doesn't output
# department so it fails entitlement. Even though LDAP entity has department=operations,
# both entities must pass (AND) → DENY.

Make the DENY case distinguish AND evaluation.

Both entities currently fail .department in engineering: the claims entity has no department, and the LDAP entity is described as department=operations. An OR evaluator or a first-success evaluator also returns DENY.

Set Eve's LDAP departmentNumber to engineering. The LDAP entity will then match while the claims entity fails. The expected DENY will prove that both entities must be entitled.

In `@tests-bdd/features/multi-strategy-ers-multi-success.feature` around lines 88
- 90, Update Eve’s LDAP fixture in the multi-strategy entitlement test so its
departmentNumber is engineering while the claims entity still lacks department.
Preserve the expected DENY result, ensuring the scenario distinguishes AND
evaluation by having one entity match and the other fail.
