What

A permission decision can now be allow, soft_deny or hard_deny rather than a plain allow/deny, and the accompanying reason list includes read_denied and rules_unreadable for cases where the rules themselves could not be read.

Evidence

["allow", "soft_deny", "hard_deny"]

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
