There was a problem hiding this comment.
@quetzalliwrites It is technically correct, but I'm not sure having it so forefront makes sense? Does it follow how the other services are structured?
@cassiodias thanks a lot for the contribution! I was wondering if this should be part of the introduction, I'm not sure having a whole section for this follows how the other services pages are structured?

Up to you guys, my intention was to make that clear. But I can change if there is another place |

Description
Adds implementation clarification that LocalStack uses the Cedar engine for Verified Permissions policy evaluation.
Changes
Motivation
Current documentation mentions "Cedar policy language" but doesn't state that LocalStack uses the actual Cedar engine (vs a mock or custom parser). This helps developers understand the fidelity of local testing.
