Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Policy service concept has been proven and a fully functional file-based policy service prototype has been completed but now we need a production-ready policy service.

Describe the solution you'd like

Make a production-ready policy service:

[x] policy service using atServer for persistence
[ ] policy service using PostgreSQL for persistence
[x] policy dashboard GUI MVP
[x] policy dashboard API MVP
[x] Modify build scripts so that the policy service is included in the release tarball
[ ] Add end-to-end tests which exercise the policy service (one positive, one negative)

Still a bunch more work to do on this

During PR97, split out the core policy framework into its own package, and made it generic - i.e. no hard or soft (semantic) dependency on noports. Refactored noports code accordingly. Added

During PR98, will . publish core policy package . ensure noports works with new policy-related requests and responses . ensure new policy service supports the requests which were supported by the alpha, since we have some alpha policy services in the field . get noports pull request with all of the new policy stuff reviewed and merged

@gkc it would be useful to have a readonly version of the np_admin dashboard. When we are using a policy engine which is tied into some externally managed source, it would be nice to still use the dashboard for observability and auditing purposes.

Almost, but still not quite, completed. Last two weeks was a sprintus horribilis for me. About 4SP effort remaining.
