-Create PermissionAuthorizer interface for PermissionClients
+- Add `PermissionAuthorizer` interface matching `PermissionClient` to allow alternative implementations like the `ServerPermissionClient` in @backstage/plugin-permission-node.
+
+Breaking Changes:
+
+- Remove "api" suffixes from constructor parameters in PermissionClient
+
+```diff
+  const { config, discovery } = options;
+-  const permissionClient = new PermissionClient({ discoveryApi: discovery, configApi: config });
++  const permissionClient = new PermissionClient({ discovery, config });
+```
