Rules become data instead of code: a clinic can say "laser under 18 requires
parental consent" without a deploy.
Engine
- Policy / PolicyVersionLog entities, closed field/operator/effect lists per
category (PolicySchema), condition validation at write time
- PolicyResolver: priority -> specificity -> age, combining effects by
veto / max / sum / union
- A missing fact fails its clause instead of silently passing it
- Policies are drafts until activated, and are versioned rather than edited
Wiring
- selection -> ServiceSelectionValidator
- eligibility + spacing -> BookingPolicyGuard, at hold time not confirm time
- resource + timing -> AppointmentPlanBuilder, including template-less services
- pricing -> PricingEngine, alongside (not replacing) the manual discount
The condition column is named condition_json: `condition` is a MariaDB keyword
and broke every INSERT.
Tests: 17 in tests/Policy including NoPolicyRegressionTest, which pins that a
clinic with no policies sees byte-identical output to task 08.
Docs: docs/api/policy.md (real captured JSON) + docs/architecture/policy-engine.md.
