I have read the CONTRIBUTING.md file.

YES

What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Bug fix, plus unit tests.

Fixes #48164.

Credit where it's due: #48164 was reported by @jashkarangiya, who also opened #48165 against it. They closed that PR themselves on 10 Sep while it was still awaiting review. This PR is a fresh, smaller take on the same bug that leads with the destructive symptom rather than the grouping one. Happy to close this instead if they'd prefer to reopen theirs.

What is the current behavior?

extractBucketNameFromDefinition splits a policy definition on ' AND ', takes the first segment mentioning bucket_id, and returns the text between the first pair of single quotes. It can only ever name one bucket, and it does not tell = apart from <>. All three callers inherit that:

1. Bucket deletion removes policies that still guard other buckets. DeleteBucketModal deletes every policy it believes is "tied to" the bucket being removed. A policy written as bucket_id <> 'avatars' guards every bucket except avatars, but the parser attributes it to avatars — so deleting the avatars bucket silently deletes it, dropping the protection on every remaining bucket. For a multi-bucket policy, whether it gets deleted depends on which bucket happens to appear first in the definition.

2. The Storage Policies page hides policies. A policy written as bucket_id in ('avatars', 'logos') is listed under avatars only. Under logos it does not appear at all, so that bucket reads as unprotected on the page users rely on to audit exactly that.

3. Per-bucket policy counts undercount, for the same reason.

What is the new behavior?

Two functions replace the old helper, split by how much certainty the caller needs.

getPolicyBucketNames — which buckets a policy references, used to decide where it is displayed:

  • reads both the USING (definition) and WITH CHECK (check) clauses
  • understands the = ANY (ARRAY[...]) form Postgres normalizes bucket_id in (...) into
  • attributes no bucket to a negated condition, covering both bucket_id <> 'avatars' and the NOT (bucket_id = 'avatars') form. Those land in the existing "Ungrouped" section
  • requires identifier boundaries, so archive_bucket_id no longer reads as bucket_id
  • handles ''-escaped quotes in bucket names

isPolicyExclusiveToBucket — whether a policy applies to one bucket and nothing else, used for the destructive path. Referencing exactly one bucket is necessary but not sufficient, so it additionally rejects any clause carrying an OR, a NOT or a subquery. This is deliberately conservative: it can only ever delete fewer policies than before, never more. Leaving a stale policy behind is recoverable; deleting a live one is not.

Consequently:

  • policies are listed and counted under every bucket they actually cover
  • bucket deletion only removes policies that exclusively guard that bucket

Also fixes the internal grouping key leaking into the grouped Policy objects, so the returned type is no longer lying about its shape.

The old helper is removed rather than left as a re-export shim, per apps/studio/AGENTS.md; there were no other importers.

Additional context

The parser is written against real pg_policies output, not hand-written SQL. I created each case on a local Supabase Postgres and read back what is actually stored:

policy as written stored in pg_policies
bucket_id in ('avatars', 'logos') (bucket_id = ANY (ARRAY['avatars'::text, 'logos'::text]))
bucket_id <> 'avatars' (bucket_id <> 'avatars'::text)
not (bucket_id = 'avatars') (NOT (bucket_id = 'avatars'::text))
bucket_id = 'bob''s files' (bucket_id = 'bob''s files'::text)
(bucket_id = 'avatars') or (owner = auth.uid()) ((bucket_id = 'avatars'::text) OR (owner = auth.uid()))
exists (select 1 from archive a where a.archive_bucket_id = 'avatars') (EXISTS ( SELECT 1 FROM archive a WHERE (a.archive_bucket_id = 'avatars'::text)))

Worth flagging: Postgres does not fold not (bucket_id = 'x') into <>, and the archive_bucket_id case needs no change to storage.objects — an ordinary subquery over a user's own table reaches it. Both were missed in my first pass and caught in review. The unit tests use these exact strings as fixtures.

Verification

  • 26 unit tests in apps/studio/tests/components/Storage/Storage.utils.test.ts
  • full Studio suite: 616/617 files, 6602/6603 tests pass. The one failure, EdgeFunctionOverview.utils.test.ts, is pre-existing and unrelated — I confirmed it fails identically on a clean master with this branch stashed. It looks timezone-dependent (fails at UTC+5:30, and the expectations are consistent with a UTC machine)
  • tsc --noEmit clean
  • pnpm --filter studio run lint:ratchet passes
  • pnpm knip --workspace apps/studio clean
  • Prettier clean

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Storage policies covering multiple buckets are now correctly associated with and counted for every applicable bucket.
    • Policy listings more accurately recognize bucket access rules across combined, membership-based, and table-qualified conditions.
    • Policies with negated, unsupported, or unrestricted conditions are no longer incorrectly assigned to buckets.
    • Policies without a matching loaded bucket are grouped more accurately.
    • Deleting a bucket now removes only policies exclusively protecting that bucket, preserving policies shared with other buckets.

…ther buckets

`extractBucketNameFromDefinition` split a policy definition on ' AND ', took the
first segment mentioning `bucket_id`, and returned the text between the first
pair of single quotes. It could only ever name one bucket and did not tell `=`
apart from `<>`, so all three callers were wrong in the same way:

- `DeleteBucketModal` deleted every policy it believed was "tied to" the bucket
  being removed. A `bucket_id <> 'avatars'` policy — which guards every bucket
  *except* avatars — was attributed to avatars and deleted along with it.
- The Storage Policies page listed a `bucket_id in ('avatars', 'logos')` policy
  under avatars only, so logos appeared unprotected.
- `useBucketPolicyCount` undercounted for the same reason.

Replace it with `getPolicyBucketNames`, which reads every bucket a policy grants
access to across both the USING and WITH CHECK clauses, understands the
`= ANY (ARRAY[...])` form Postgres stores `in (...)` as, and attributes no bucket
to a negated condition. Policies are now grouped under each bucket they cover,
and bucket deletion only removes policies that exclusively guard that bucket.

Also stops the internal grouping key leaking into the grouped `Policy` objects.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Storage policy handling now extracts all referenced bucket names from policy expressions. Policy grouping and counts include every applicable bucket. Bucket deletion cleanup preserves shared and negated policies. Tests cover parsing, grouping, and empty or unknown cases.

identifier boundaries so they match bucket_id but not names such as
archive_bucket_id. Update both equality and ANY-expression patterns, including
suffix cases, while preserving valid bucket_id matches and the existing owner
handling.

treating lexical bucket matches as proof of coverage; return bucket names only
when every satisfying branch is exclusively constrained to the collected
buckets, preventing DeleteBucketModal from deleting policies that also apply
outside or exclude avatars. Add tests covering the OR expression combining
bucket_id with owner and the NOT bucket_id expression.

…tching bucket_id

Addresses two review findings, both confirmed against real `pg_policies` output on a
local Postgres rather than assumed:

1. `bucket_id` matched as a bare substring, so `archive_bucket_id` read as `bucket_id`.
   That is reachable without touching `storage.objects` at all — a policy containing
   `EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM archive a WHERE a.archive_bucket_id = 'avatars')` is stored
   verbatim and would have attributed `avatars` to an unrelated policy. Both patterns now
   require `\b` boundaries, which still admits a qualified `objects.bucket_id`.

2. Naming one bucket was treated as proof the policy applies only to that bucket. It is
   not: `(bucket_id = 'avatars') OR (owner = auth.uid())` names only avatars yet still
   grants access to the caller's objects in every other bucket. Deletion now goes through
   `isPolicyExclusiveToBucket`, which additionally rejects any clause carrying an `OR`, a
   `NOT` or a subquery. The bias is deliberate: leaving a stale policy behind is
   recoverable, deleting a live one is not.

Postgres also stores an explicitly written `NOT (bucket_id = 'avatars')` verbatim instead
of folding it into `<>`, so that form is now discarded during extraction too — previously
it was misattributed to the very bucket it excludes.

`getPolicyBucketNames` is documented as a lexical read used to decide where a policy is
shown, explicitly not as a Boolean proof of coverage.

`isPolicyExclusiveToBucket` merged `definition` and `check` before checking, so a policy
written as

    using (owner = auth.uid()) with check (bucket_id = 'avatars')

produced a single bucket name, carried no `OR`/`NOT`/subquery, and was treated as owned by
avatars. Its USING half still grants the caller access to their own objects in every other
bucket, so deleting the avatars bucket would have removed that access.

USING and WITH CHECK govern different operations, so each clause a policy actually has must
independently confine it to the bucket. A policy with no clauses at all is no longer treated
as exclusive either, which the merged form would have accepted.
