sorry, Im confused what are you doing with this variable?

Can we test here (and below) that we got an expected value? Obviously doing so makes sense only after we finalize the message contents. So it is fine to open an issue to improve these checks in this test file.

rename, MissingPermissions or PermissionsAudit or DenyHistory w/e would be more appropriate?

These are a bit too informative IMO. Let's just keep the action name here? Otherwise I learn details of the policy including denied paths that I might not have known existed!

Suggested change
Denied []model.Statement
Unauthorized []permissions.Node
// Denied is a list of actions the user was denied for the attempt.
Denied []string
// Unauthorized is a list of actions the user did not have for the attempt.
Unauthorized []string

}

// CheckResult - the final result for the authorization is accepted only if it's CheckAllow
type CheckResult int

  1. Not sure how this code can successfully format deniedStr if len(n.Denied) > 0. There will be no newline after the last row of the Action list on each statement.
  2. It will probably be easier to use strings.Builder. This is actually an io.Writer, so you can just write to it using the normal operations. Here's a playground.

This var is used only in case permissions.NoteTypeNode. So please keep it in scope there: you could just put that entire case inside curly brackets, and that var in there. Or extract it to another func, or even go full OO and make each of these a method. Right now the code confuses me about what might happen with this variable in other cases.

This is confusing: I take perm as an input, now I modify it and return it. So I've changed my input, but also returned it as an output.

I think either make perm into an object, pass it by pointer, and keep state on it, or explicitly handle the lists.

Suggested change

is closer to the previous version.

We prefer to use an "early return" style: errors return immediately - like l. 1188 does; successes keep going with no "else" and no need to indent.
