 chainctl policies decision list List policy decisions.
Synopsis List recorded policy decisions to see which image digests a policy allowed or denied at pull time.
Each decision shows the digest, the policy that evaluated it, the mode, the outcome, and the reason when one is available. Filter by –parent for a specific organization, by –repo for all decisions recorded on a single repository, by –policy for a single policy, by –mode or –result for a subset of outcomes, and by –since for a time window.
