Switon's request-local identity and tenant state for auth checks and tenant-aware flows.

Highlights
----------

[](#highlights)

- **Request-scoped identity:** each request keeps its own guest or authenticated user state.
- **Tenant state:** the resolved tenant stays available for later checks without re-resolving it.
- **Explicit boundary writes:** auth and tenant resolution can seed or clear the current request state.
- **Stable tenant key:** apps can keep a public tenant code separate from the internal tenant ID.
- **Mutable request state:** identity and tenant data stay local to the current request.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require switon/principal
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Switon\Core\Attribute\Autowired;
use Switon\Principal\IdentityInterface;
use Switon\Principal\TenantInterface;

final class AuthBoundary
{
    #[Autowired] protected IdentityInterface $identity;
    #[Autowired] protected TenantInterface $tenant;

    public function bootstrap(): void
    {
        $this->identity->set(7, 'mark', ['admin']);
        $this->tenant->set('acme', 'acme');
    }
}

final class ProfileController
{
    #[Autowired] protected IdentityInterface $identity;
    #[Autowired] protected TenantInterface $tenant;

    public function indexAction(): array
    {
        return [
            'user_id' => $this->identity->isGuest() ? null : $this->identity->getId(),
            'tenant' => $this->tenant->hasTenant() ? $this->tenant->getCode() : null,
        ];
    }
}
```
