Pull request overview

This PR fixes an infinite loop issue (#506) in watchers by adding a useAdapter parameter to internal policy management methods. When set to false, this parameter prevents adapter calls, which is crucial for the self* methods that are called from watchers to avoid triggering recursive adapter updates.

Key Changes

Added optional useAdapter parameter (defaults to true) to seven internal methods in InternalEnforcer
Updated all self* methods in ManagementEnforcer to pass false for both useWatcher and useAdapter parameters
Modified adapter conditional checks to include the new useAdapter flag

Reviewed changes

Remove commented-out code. The old condition is no longer needed since the new condition with useAdapter is now in place.

This comment is vague and unhelpful. Consider replacing it with a more descriptive comment explaining why the useAdapter parameter is needed, such as "Pass useAdapter=false to prevent infinite loops when called from watchers".

Suggested change

// add fifth argument

// Wrapper around addPolicyInternal that passes useAdapter=false (final argument)

// to prevent infinite update loops when invoked from watchers.
