Ubserve changelog update: continuous scans now detect policy drift between schema evolution and RLS enforcement intent.

Release note wireframe showing schema changes and RLS policy drift alerts.

Continuous Protection now includes Supabase RLS Drift Detection, designed to catch policy mismatches introduced after schema updates. This helps prevent silent authorization regressions in teams shipping frequently.

[Component: DarkWireframeKey]

As shown in the Policy Gate diagram, the left lane should represent schema evolution events, and the right lane should represent policy consistency checks per table and action type.

Why this matters

RLS failures are often not missing-policy bugs. They are stale-policy bugs created by iterative releases where auth logic changes faster than policy maintenance.

What we now validate

  1. Missing policy updates after new table columns/relations.
  2. Divergence across select/insert/update/delete policy symmetry.
  3. Tenant/ownership predicate inconsistency across related tables.
  1. Run a full audit before launch milestones.
  2. Enable continuous scans for weekly shipping teams.
  3. Re-test every migration touching multi-tenant data boundaries.
