# Description of Changes Redesign policies backend to treat sources a lot closer to how the frontend imagined them working (they're persistent now and have an API). Then connect the portal to the sources when mocks are off to allow for source creation in the UI. It's not particularly useful to do that right now because there's no policies UI, but I've tested manually that sources set up in the UI are usable by policies created via the API. I had to change the portal so that when mocks are off, it doesn't just hard crash when attempting to connect to all the backend APIs that don't exist yet. It'll still log the errors, but just continues on rendering the UI now. I also changed all the policies backend APIs to be gated behind a flag instead of behind the SaaS profile. This is because we haven't yet got the payment model sorted, but we're going to need this stuff running self-hosted to be able to test it locally.
