Review Comment:
   Hi @adutra - actually @dimas-b brought up this point as well. We could 
return a boolean instead, but that would leave it to all of the Handler call 
sites to raise an exception instead.
   
   For `preAuthorize` (or `resolveAuthorizationInput`  which is a naming option 
we are discussing in [this RFC 
comment](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OaiQG_C4-yUe0ihaDBxtw_mEcOOzUBnWPazzVbjQi5U/edit?disco=AAABzyyDy_U)),
 I think it makes sense to raise an exception if we aren't able to resolve the 
inputs ahead of time.
   
   What do you think?
