feat(policy): add memory:UpdateAgent action - #258
Conversation
The AIStor Cortex agent API splits into a create-only PutAgent and a separate UpdateAgent, so modifying an existing agent needs an action of its own. An update re-derives the agent's IAM policy from its mounts, so it must be grantable to a principal that may not create agents — and memory:PutAgent also authorizes writing a memory beneath an agent, which must not carry the power to rewrite the record it sits under. Also tightens the point-action condition-key test to assert memory:max-keys is rejected as well as memory:prefix. The list-action loop above it already checked both; the point-action loop checked one, so a regression granting max-keys to a read or a write would have passed.

Make the exported action comments complete GoDoc sentences.
The comments use fragment text after a hyphen. The MemoryPutAgentAction comment also mixes behavior and rationale. Rewrite both comments as short sentences that start with the identifier. Keep the rationale for MemoryUpdateAgentAction concise.
Proposed comment-only fix
- // MemoryPutAgentAction - create an agent record, or write a memory beneath
- // it. Create-only, so it is safe to grant alongside a memory write.
+ // MemoryPutAgentAction permits creating an agent record or writing a memory beneath it.
+ // It does not modify an existing agent record.
MemoryPutAgentAction MemoryAction = "memory:PutAgent"
- // MemoryUpdateAgentAction - modify an existing agent record in a cortex. Separate
- // from MemoryPutAgentAction, which only creates: an update re-derives the agent's
- // IAM policy from its mounts, so it must be grantable without granting creation.
+ // MemoryUpdateAgentAction permits modifying an existing agent record in a cortex.
+ // It re-derives the agent's IAM policy from its mounts, so it is separate from
+ // MemoryPutAgentAction.
MemoryUpdateAgentAction MemoryAction = "memory:UpdateAgent"As per coding guidelines, Go exported identifiers must have GoDoc-ready sentences, and comments must be minimal and explain why the code exists, not what it does.

Problem
The AIStor Cortex agent API splits into a create-only
PutAgentand a separateUpdateAgent, and there is no action for the second one.memory:PutAgentcannotserve both: it also authorizes writing a memory beneath an agent, so a principal
allowed to write memories would gain the power to rewrite the record those memories
sit under. An update additionally re-derives the agent's IAM policy from its mounts,
which has to be grantable to a principal that may not create agents at all.
Fix
MemoryUpdateAgentAction(memory:UpdateAgent) and register it inSupportedMemoryActions, so it validates andmemory:*covers it.MemoryPutAgentAction's doc comment: it creates a record or writes amemory beneath one, and being create-only is what makes it safe to grant
alongside a memory write.
