Impact

Users who

1. use the exclusion operator somewhere in their authorization schema
2. have configured their SpiceDB server such that --write-relationships-max-updates-per-call is bigger than 6500
3. issue calls to WriteRelationships with a large enough number of updates that cause the payload to be bigger than what their datastore allows

will

1. receive a successful response from their WriteRelationships call, when in reality that call failed,
2. receive incorrect permission check results, if those relationships had to be read to resolve the relation involving the exclusion

Patches

Upgrade to v.145.2.

Workarounds

Set --write-relationships-max-updates-per-call to 1000.
