Dev builds tiny permission-checking library to fix UI-backend mismatches
A developer created permission-access, a zero-dependency npm library that maps backend permission strings (like 'Orders.GetAll_GET') to semantic actions (like 'read'). The library solves the common problem of hardcoded permission checks breaking when backends rename endpoints. It's designed to be small enough to read in one sitting and works with any JavaScript framework.

A practical solution to a mundane but painful integration problem, though its value depends on how many teams actually face this specific mismatch pattern.
