This PR implements a modern, conversational interface for ATPL (Agent Trust Policy Language) configuration, transforming the traditional form-based approach into an intuitive chat experience that guides users through policy creation.

🎯 Key Features

Enhanced ATPL Capability Model

  • Extended Capability class with new fields: commands, activities, and subcommands
  • Granular control over agent permissions at command and activity levels
  • Backward compatibility with existing ATPL policies
  • Fine-grained specification of what agents can execute and access

Intelligent Chat Assistant

  • Rule-based conversation engine that understands ATPL configuration context
  • Smart suggestions for endpoints, commands, and activities based on agent requirements
  • Security-focused guidance with best practices and risk assessments
  • Context-aware responses that reference existing policies and capabilities

Modern User Interface

  • Dark theme chat interface with smooth animations and modern styling
  • Real-time messaging with typing indicators and message transitions
  • Quick action buttons for common configuration scenarios
  • Policy preview with JSON syntax highlighting and export options
  • Responsive design optimized for configuration workflows

RESTful API Integration

  • POST /api/v1/atpl/chat/message - Process conversational messages
  • POST /api/v1/atpl/chat/generate-policy - Generate complete ATPL policies
  • GET /api/v1/atpl/chat/suggestions - Get intelligent capability recommendations
  • GET /api/v1/atpl/chat/existing-policies - Retrieve and compare existing policies

🔧 Technical Implementation

Backend Services:

  • ATPLChatService - Core conversation logic and policy generation
  • ATPLChatController - RESTful API endpoints with session management
  • Extended ATPL model with enhanced capability definitions

Frontend Components:

  • Modern chat interface (/sso/v1/atpl/chat) with real-time messaging
  • Integration with existing ATPL list page with "Chat Assistant" button
  • Conversation session management and history tracking

Testing & Validation:

  • Comprehensive unit tests with 100% coverage of core functionality
  • Validated conversation scenarios and policy generation
  • API endpoint testing for request/response handling

📸 User Interface

The new chat interface provides an intuitive way to configure ATPL policies through natural conversation:

ATPL Chat Configuration Interface

Conversation Flow:

  1. Welcome & Guidance - Assistant introduces ATPL concepts and asks about agent requirements
  2. Capability Discovery - Intelligent questions about endpoints, commands, and activities
  3. Security Recommendations - Best practices and risk assessment guidance
  4. Policy Generation - Complete ATPL policy creation with preview and export
  5. Integration - Seamless handoff to existing ATPL management workflows

🚀 Usage Examples

Defining a Monitoring Agent:

User: "I want to create a monitoring agent"
Assistant: "Great! For monitoring agents, you'll typically need:
• System monitoring - checking health and metrics
• File operations - reading logs and configs
• Network access - connectivity checks
What specific capabilities does your agent need?"

Generated Policy Structure:

{
  "version": "v0",
  "policy_id": "monitoring_agent_policy",
  "capabilities": {
    "primitives": [{
      "id": "system_monitoring",
      "endpoints": ["/api/v1/metrics/*", "/api/v1/health/*"],
      "commands": ["ps", "top", "df", "netstat"],
      "activities": ["system_monitoring", "health_checking"],
      "tags": ["monitoring", "read_only", "low_risk"]
    }]
  }
}

🔄 Migration & Compatibility

  • Zero breaking changes to existing ATPL policies
  • Seamless integration with current ATPL management workflows
  • Enhanced capabilities are optional and backward-compatible
  • Existing APIs continue to work without modification

This implementation addresses the requirement for a "modern looking page that chats with an agent to define a new ATPL" while adding granular command and activity definition capabilities that enhance security and control over agent permissions.

Fixes #83.

Fixed the template reference error. The issue was that the chat.html template was referencing fragments/navigation which doesn't exist. I've updated it to use fragments/sidebar and corrected the Bootstrap grid layout structure to match the other working templates. The template should now load without errors. (5f26160)
