Worked on the hashicorp/consul repository to address a critical debugging issue related to pprof profile collection under restricted ACLs. Refactored the pprof collection logic in Go to ensure profiles could be gathered when ACLs are enabled and operator:read permissions are present, even if enable_debug is not set. This approach improved diagnostic reliability and security compliance by honoring both enable_debug and ACL permissions. Enhanced the CLI debugging workflow and expanded test coverage to validate multiple ACL and scenario combinations. Focused on ACL management, debugging, and testing, the work reduced downtime and strengthened observability for operators working within restricted environments.
