What are the viable alternatives that you have in mind?

Perhaps a dumb question, but how did you restore the data without the keys? Was a prior backup unencrypted?

It doesn't seem that implausible for a program to be reading through a dataset and issue a notice for a measurement above some value. If the dataset encoded years in just two digits, it (almost) makes sense that the program would report it 100 years off.

Imagine:

    with open(file) as f:
        for record in f:
            year, month, day, time, magnitude = record.split()
            
            if magnitude > 5:
                raise_alarm()

That's more or less the situation I'm in, but with multiple applications. The idea is to pull out the "identity x permission x resource" logic so that each new project doesn't need to re-implement it..

Definitely going to be looking more into this. I am just about to start a project that needs ACLs, and I was surprised to find that I was going to have to write a solution myself.

In case I just missed them, are there some comparable projects to this? Is there an established library in the space?

I'm not too familiar with how heavily locked down iOS is: does this "WebView only" policy only apply to apps released via the AppStore? Meaning, can I build locally and sideload install an app that uses my own engine? And if that existed, could I open source it for others to use?
