feat(managed): guard registered plans against schema drift

[estivate]

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added managed worker startup with validated execution identity and safer worker lifecycle handling.
  • Added destination schema fingerprints to registered plans and plan reviews.
  • Managed applies now detect schema changes before writing and refuse unsafe plans.
  • Registered configuration flows now use updated configuration and package parameters.
• Bug Fixes
  • Duplicate manifest keys are rejected.
  • Destination schema name conflicts and unusable names are detected.
  • Legacy product-store migrations now run safely and only when needed.
• Documentation
  • Expanded documentation for managed workers, API parameters, schema fingerprints, and schema-drift errors.

Registered saved plans could outlive changes to the destination schema semantics they were reviewed against. This change binds each registered plan to the consumed destination schema and refuses apply before source access or destination writes when those semantics have changed.

It also closes the managed worker identity and product-store startup issues exposed while qualifying the complete registered NetBox-to-Infrahub workflow.

Before and after

Before:

plan → review → destination schema changes → apply may continue

After:

plan[fingerprint A] → review → apply reads fingerprint B
→ PlanSchemaChangedError before source access or destination writes

Key changes

• Registered plans carry a typed, checksummed 64-character schema_fingerprint.
• Plan and runtime models use one normalized destination-schema snapshot.
• Apply compares the reviewed and live consumed-schema fingerprints before writes.
• Missing, malformed, duplicate, ambiguous, or separator-bearing schema bindings fail closed.
• Compatible unmapped growth remains admissible without rebuilding the package or restarting the worker.
• Saved apply no longer requires source credentials; registered configuration identity uses the immutable package checksum while legacy behavior remains unchanged.
• Managed executions bind to the executing worker’s canonical Prefect UUID and revalidate it before claim.
• Preview smoke tests exercise a real registered plan and destination update.
• PostgreSQL mutation-receipt migration skips completed DDL and validates catalog nullability strictly.

User-visible behavior and limits

When consumed schema semantics change, apply raises PlanSchemaChangedError, reports the reviewed and live fingerprints, and directs the operator to create and review a new plan.

The validated managed deployment boundary is one host running one managed worker process. Multi-host and multi-worker scheduling are outside this qualification.

During the first upgrade from the legacy PostgreSQL NOT NULL catalog, several processes starting simultaneously can race the one-time migration. One startup may fail closed before admission while the catalog converges. Run the first migration with one process; concurrent startup is supported after convergence.

Related context

• Completes the Plan schema guard unit following feat: build registered sync models at runtime #197.
• Implements the registered runtime-schema and saved-plan requirements tracked by INFP-652.

Documentation updates

• Documented managed worker identity, startup, restart, and supported topology.
• Documented schema_fingerprint, schema-drift recovery, flow parameters, and the first-upgrade concurrency boundary.
• Updated the cache-layout reference for the published schema binding.

Validation

At final HEAD:

• uv run invoke format
• uv run invoke lint
• uv run pytest -q — 3,403 passed, 25 skipped, 1 xfailed
• Focused registered-apply tests — 6 passed
• Affected managed fixture modules — 69 passed
• uv run infrahub-sync --help
• uv run infrahub-sync list --directory examples/
• git diff --check

Disposable end-to-end qualification covered:

• Registered NetBox-to-Infrahub create and update
• Compatible schema growth
• Five incompatible schema-drift classes and recovery
• Concurrent configurations with overlapping kind names
• Worker restart, identity refresh, and stale-child refusal
• Five immutable configuration versions
• PostgreSQL migration and steady-state concurrency
• Artifact digests, destination convergence, and secret-canary scans

The complete disposable matrix ran before the final narrow source-credential correction. That correction received exact-head focused and full offline coverage plus bounded closure by the original failing reviewer; the full live matrix was not repeated.

Walkthrough

The change adds destination schema fingerprints to registered plan artifacts and published plan resources. Managed apply verifies the retained checksum and compares the recorded fingerprint with a live destination schema before writes. Schema snapshot collection now rejects duplicate and unusable member names. A managed process worker resolves and propagates backend worker identity. Preview startup uses this worker and seeds shared smoke data. Product-store migration checks catalog nullability before altering columns. Tests and reference documentation cover these changes.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f3237

The PR adds fail-closed schema and worker-identity checks, but the current head still has merge-readiness issues: the drift refusal message omits the required recovery action, schema fingerprints can be retained without a configuration binding, and alternate apply paths may bypass schema validation; worker failures may also retain sensitive provider details. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Agentic review record — fresh single-pass independent review

Reviewer: GPT-5.6 Sol (xhigh reasoning), independent context, no implementer transcript.
Scope: complete diff ab1b3fc..4c64bc3 (43 files, +3,848/−223), reviewed via git plumbing against the accepted unit brief. The later commit f3237b9 is a Vale vocabulary entry only and contains no product change.
Charter: correctness at the cross-cutting seams (fingerprint computation vs comparison, worker-identity bind/refresh, migration idempotency under the legacy catalog, saved-apply credential removal), trust-boundary conformance per AGENTS.md, simplicity, and scope.

Result: no material findings.

Reviewer verdict: the diff is careful, fail-closed, and reviewable despite its size. Fingerprint generation and comparison share one canonical projection; compatible unmapped growth remains admissible; apply validates the retained artifact before schema access and validates schema before adapter construction; source credentials are not resolved on registered apply; worker identity is refreshed and revalidated before claim; the PostgreSQL nullability migration is catalog-driven and idempotent. Bundling the four concerns increased review breadth but did not materially harm coherence: they converge on the same managed saved-plan safety boundary and remain separated by clear modules and focused tests.

This supplements the earlier bounded implementation review and corrections recorded in the delivery planning records (VAL-31–VAL-37).

Bind worker_id before the try block to keep the assignment provably defined.

worker_id is assigned inside try and read at Line 203 after the block. Every exception path raises, so the code is correct today. Static checkers and later edits inside the try block can still turn this into a possibly-unbound read. Returning the resolved UUID from the helper removes the pattern.

     async def _refresh_worker_identity(self) -> None:
         """Resolve exactly one online, pool-scoped record and install its UUID."""

+        self._record_worker_id(worker_id)

Extract the repeated managed-gate stubs into one helper.

_verify_registered_apply and _require_planned_schema are stubbed together in six tests (Lines 528, 602, 639, 673, 717, 792). A single helper keeps the gate list in one place. When a further gate is added, one edit then covers every test.

- Around line 222-227: Update the drift refusal message in the flow around
run_id, recorded, and live to explicitly name the recovery action: create and
review a new plan before retrying. Preserve the existing explanation that
nothing was written or read, and include the phrase “new plan” so the documented
behavior and cohort test remain satisfied.

In `@infrahub_sync/plan/models.py`:
- Around line 366-368: Update the validation around config_id and
schema_fingerprint so the fields must be provided together: reject a
schema_fingerprint when config_id is absent, while preserving rejection of a
missing fingerprint when config_id is present. Ensure
registered_schema_fingerprint only receives valid consistently bound values.

Apply the same fix in `@infrahub_sync/plan/writer.py` around lines 234 - 236: The
writer currently serializes a non-null fingerprint without checking for a
registered configuration binding.
