Implement policy-based event filtering and add integration tests

- Enhanced the HandleReq function to incorporate policy checks for privileged events, ensuring only authorized users can access sensitive data.
- Introduced a new integration test suite for policy filtering, validating the behavior of event access based on user authentication and policy rules.
- Added a script to automate the policy filter integration tests, improving testing efficiency and reliability.
- Updated version to v0.20.2 to reflect the new features and improvements.
