The Policy Refactoring (ash-project#2365) introduced a bug where bypass policies were contributing only their condition to one_condition_matches instead of their complete expression (condition AND policies). This caused bypass policies with always-true conditions (like always()) to incorrectly satisfy the "at least one policy applies" requirement even when the bypass policies themselves failed. For example, with these policies: - bypass always() do authorize_if actor_attribute_equals(:is_admin, true) - policy action_type(:read) do authorize_if always() A non-admin user performing a create action would be incorrectly authorized because: 1. bypass condition (always) was true → one_condition_matches = true 2. policy condition (action_type(:read)) was false 3. Final: true AND (tautology) = true (incorrect!) The fix restores the old behavior where bypass policies contribute their complete expression to one_condition_matches, ensuring that a bypass only satisfies the requirement if it actually authorizes. Fixes authorization bypass when bypass conditions are always true but bypass policies fail.
