+"@styra/ucast-prisma": patch
+---
+
+Introduce laxer handling of empty compound conditions
+
+This aligns better with common Rego patterns, like using multi-value
+rules for generating conditions:
+
+```rego
+conditions.or contains {"tickets.resolved": false} if { ... }
+```
+
+If the RHS is not satisfied, the conditions would yield
+
+```json
+{
+  "conditions": {
+    "or": []
+  }
+}
+```
+
+and with this change, this will be valid. The condition itself is
+going to be dropped.
