cel_type

A policy diagnostic from deedglass policy lint and the policy routes.

Severity: error

An expression does not type-check: an operator or function is applied to values of the wrong types. The most common case is comparing a value with a quoted number using <, <=, > or >=: a quoted number is a string, and strings compare letter by letter, so "10000" < "5000".

✕ policy.yaml:9:26 · cel_type
  args.amount <= "5000" compares a number with a string.
  hint: Compare numbers with numbers: args.amount <= 5000 (minor units, so 5000 is $50.00).

Fix:

    when: args.amount <= 5000
