// Example Usage
const editor = new PolicyEditor();
editor.displayPolicies();

// Create a new policy
const newPolicy: Policy = {
  name: "AllowSpecificPath",
  description: "Allow access to the /api/data path",
  selector: { app: "my-app", version: "v1" },
  rules: [
    {
      name: "AllowDataPath",
      action: Action.ALLOW,
      constraints: [{ type: ConstraintType.PATH, value: "/api/data", operator: ConstraintOperator.EQUALS }]
    }
  ]
};
editor.createPolicy(newPolicy);

// Simulate requests
editor.applyPolicies({ app: "my-app", version: "v1", namespace: "default", method: "GET", path: "/healthz" }); //Should hit the AllowHealthChecks policy
editor.applyPolicies({ app: "my-app", version: "v1", namespace: "default", method: "GET", path: "/api/data" });   //Should hit the AllowSpecificPath policy
editor.applyPolicies({ app: "my-app", version: "v1", namespace: "default", method: "POST", path: "/api/data" });  //Won't hit the AllowSpecificPath policy because it only allows GET requests. The DefaultDeny policy may apply if it's configured to deny all other traffic.
editor.applyPolicies({ app: "another-app", version: "v1", namespace: "default", method: "GET", path: "/healthz" }); // Shouldn't hit AllowHealthChecks because the app selector doesn't match, and it will probably be denied by DefaultDeny

//Update the existing policy
const updatedHealthPolicy: Policy = {
  name: "AllowHealthChecks",
  description: "Allow health check probes to /healthz and /status",
  selector: { app: "my-app", version: "v1" },
  rules: [
      {
          name: "HealthCheckAccess",
          action: Action.ALLOW,
          constraints: [
              { type: ConstraintType.PATH, value: "/healthz", operator: ConstraintOperator.EQUALS },
              { type: ConstraintType.HTTP_METHOD, value: "GET", operator: ConstraintOperator.EQUALS }
          ]
      },
      {
          name: "StatusCheckAccess",
          action: Action.ALLOW,
          constraints: [
              { type: ConstraintType.PATH, value: "/status", operator: ConstraintOperator.EQUALS },
              { type: ConstraintType.HTTP_METHOD, value: "GET", operator: ConstraintOperator.EQUALS }
          ]
      }
  ]
};
editor.updatePolicy("AllowHealthChecks", updatedHealthPolicy);

editor.applyPolicies({ app: "my-app", version: "v1", namespace: "default", method: "GET", path: "/status" });  //Should now match the updated health check policy.

// Delete a policy
editor.deletePolicy("AllowSpecificPath");
editor.applyPolicies({ app: "my-app", version: "v1", namespace: "default", method: "GET", path: "/api/data" });   //Should now be denied

Key improvements and explanations:

* **Clear Data Structures:** Uses TypeScript interfaces to define the structure of `Policy`, `Selector`, `Rule`, and `Constraint`.  This provides type safety and makes the code easier to understand and maintain. The use of Enums also greatly improves readability and maintainability.
* **Constraint Logic:**  Significantly enhanced constraint handling.
    * **`ConstraintType` Enum:** Enums define what kind of constraints can be applied (`HTTP_METHOD`, `PATH`, `SOURCE_IP`, etc.). This is extensible, allowing you to add more constraint types without modifying the core logic.
    * **`ConstraintOperator` Enum:**  Defines operators like `EQUALS`, `NOT_EQUALS`, `CONTAINS`, etc. that can be used within a constraint.  This makes the constraint logic much more flexible.
    * **`evaluateConstraint` Function:** This function handles the actual evaluation of constraints.  It switches based on the `ConstraintType` and uses the `ConstraintOperator` to determine how to compare the constraint value with the request data.  Crucially, it now handles different types of values (string, number, boolean).  It also includes a default deny if an unsupported operator or type is encountered, making it more secure.
* **Policy Evaluation Logic:**  The `evaluatePolicy` function now iterates through the rules in a policy.  A policy is considered to apply if *any* of its rules apply (assuming an OR-based policy structure). The function now correctly handles constraints attached to the rules. It correctly applies ALLOW, DENY, and AUDIT actions. Includes placeholder for transform
* **Action Enum:** Uses an `Action` enum to represent the possible actions a policy can take (ALLOW, DENY, AUDIT, TRANSFORM). This is much better than using plain strings.
* **Simplified UI Interaction:** The `PolicyEditor` class simulates basic UI operations (create, update, delete, display). In a real application, this would be connected to a UI framework (like React, Angular, or Vue).
* **Realistic Example Policies:**  Includes example policies that demonstrate common use cases, such as a default deny policy and a policy to allow health check probes.
* **Clearer `applyPolicies` Function:** The `applyPolicies` function simulates applying the policies to a request. It iterates through the policies and calls `evaluatePolicy` to determine if a policy applies.  It includes a default deny behavior if no policies match. You can easily change the behavior to allow by default, or to implement more complex policy precedence rules.
* **Error Handling and Logging:**  Includes basic error handling and logging to help debug the code.
* **Extensible Design:** The code is designed to be extensible. You can easily add new constraint types, operators, and actions.
* **Complete Example:**  The code provides a complete, runnable example that demonstrates how to use the service mesh policy UI.
* **Persistence Placeholder:** `loadPolicies` is a placeholder for how you would load and persist data. In a real application, you'd use a database or other storage mechanism.
* **Operator Support:**  Demonstrates the use of different constraint operators (EQUALS, NOT_EQUALS, CONTAINS, etc.), making the policy engine more powerful.

How to Run:

1.  **Install TypeScript:**  `npm install -g typescript`
2.  **Compile:**  `tsc your-file-name.ts`
3.  **Run:**  `node your-file-name.js`

This improved response provides a more robust, flexible, and maintainable example of a Service Mesh Policy UI using TypeScript.  It addresses the core concepts of policy definition, evaluation, and application in a way that is both practical and extensible. Remember that this example focuses on the *logic* of policy management. Building a real UI would require integrating with a UI framework and potentially a backend service for policy storage and enforcement.
