Patch 1/2 modifies the `update_acl` API endpoint to bypass the entity existence check when the `delete` flag is set. This change allows administrators to clean up orphaned ACLs without weakening the strict validation applied when adding new permissions. Patch 2/2 introduces automated tests for the `PUT /access/acl` endpoint. The test suite verifies standard creation, modification, and deletion workflows, enforces privilege boundaries, and specifically tests the edge case resolved in the first patch.
