Review Comment:
   No worries, and thanks for the review. I had initially been cautious about 
how much subtype-specific handling this would push into `PolarisAuthorizer` 
implementations, but I’m increasingly convinced there is value in making the 
intent semantics as explicit as possible and letting authorizers handle those 
semantics directly.
   
   See also: https://github.com/apache/polaris/pull/4409#discussion_r3281758202
   
   Let me explore this a bit more and get a better sense of how many concrete 
intent types we would actually need to model the current authorization shapes 
semantically.
