sandbox-store: detach snapshot storage before pruning a tombstone so one row can't stall retention - #1410
The tombstone-retention prune hard-deletes deleted sandbox rows. That cascades to snapshots, and the foreign key from snapshot_storage_locations to snapshots is ON DELETE RESTRICT. The census tombstone (the marked_deleted step of prune_census_absent_sandboxes in crates/libs/sandbox/store/src/ingest.rs) leaves a row's snapshots and their attached locations in place.
Example: a sandbox tombstoned by a node census with one ready snapshot and one attached location stays deleted for 7 days, then becomes a prune candidate next to an ordinary tombstone. The prune statement fails with 23503 snapshot_storage_locations_snapshot_id_fkey, and the whole retention transaction rolls back: node, template and sandbox prunes alike, ordinary tombstone included. Every later tick fails on the same row, so retention stalls.
With this change, tombstone::prune_deleted_sandboxes detaches the candidates' storage locations (snapshot_id = NULL, orphaned_at = NOW()) in the same statement as the delete. delete::delete_with_dependents and delete_published_absent_stopped already do this. The snapshot-storage sweeper can then reclaim the objects after its one-hour grace period.
Skipping such rows would keep them forever: the sweeper reaps only detached rows, and snapshot retention keeps each sandbox's newest keep_n full snapshots and every disk snapshot whose origin isn't stop. A sandbox's snapshots, named ones included, go with its row, as on every other row-deleting path. Retained rows would also block admin user and org deletes indefinitely. Candidate selection, ordering, the batch limit and the returned ids are unchanged. The candidate CTE is marked MATERIALIZED because two sub-statements read it.
Validation
Test tombstone_retention::tests::store_prunes_deleted_sandbox_with_attached_storage_location_in_same_batch: on main it fails with 23503 and both tombstones remain. Here both rows are pruned and storage_locations_detached is 3 (four snapshots, three with a location, one of them named). Hardcoding the count to 0 fails it.
Changed test expectations: none. The new test is the only test change.
SPACE_CI_REQUIRE_TEST_DEPS=1 cargo nextest run --all-features -p pplx-space-sandbox-store -p pplx-space-cluster-controller-server: all passed, 0 skipped; the duration check is clean.
cargo arch --base-baseline --renames --base-architecture against main, as ci/scripts/run-archcheck.sh runs it after the rebase: no findings, sandbox_writes unchanged.
Kind, fresh cluster from an earlier revision with the same prune (SPACE_KIND_TELEMETRY_MODE=otel, CI's admin-token and cold-receipt directories). Staged one aged tombstone with a snapshot and attached location, plus one ordinary aged tombstone. The next retention tick logged deleted_sandboxes_deleted: 2. Both rows and the snapshot are gone, and the location has snapshot_id = NULL and orphaned_at set for the sweeper.
scripts/tests/smoke-kind-typed.sh all: ECW 91/91, native 42/42 passed, with no reruns. The six console scenarios are withheld as in CI.
Not validated: the defect end to end on main's images, the sweeper reaping a staged location on Kind (grace period), and the Direct-substrate lane.
Severity and risk
Severity: medium. One such row stops all tombstone retention until someone intervenes by hand. While it is stalled, admin deletes of users and organizations that still own deleted sandbox rows keep failing, even past the retained-until time a user delete reports. Only the Direct substrate's census writes deleted sandbox rows today (it matches managed_by = 'space' rows), so only Direct-substrate sandboxes reach this. No user-facing data is lost.
Risk: the prune hands a census tombstone's snapshot objects, named ones included, to the sweeper; storage_locations_detached counts them per tick. When the sweeper is enabled, it deletes them once its one-hour grace passes, except locations in another bucket or with an encrypted sidecar, which it leaves in place. A census tombstone is inferred from a node's complete census omitting the sandbox, and no path moves a row out of deleted, so the 7-day retention window is the only time to recover those bytes by hand. No schema change. Rollback: revert the commit. Locations already detached stay valid sweeper input, and objects the sweeper already deleted can't be restored.
Rollout
During a rolling update, a controller on the old version that holds the retention lease keeps failing on such rows until a new-version leader takes over. Nothing else interacts between versions.
In an environment whose tombstone retention is stalled today, the first ticks under a new-version leader prune the backlog, oldest first, up to 1,000 sandbox rows per 5-minute tick, and detach the pruned census tombstones' storage locations. The sweeper can delete their objects an hour later. The same cascade removes those sandboxes' node_local_backup_pending rows, so internal_api.local_backup_queue.absent_not_durable can drop at the same time. To keep the objects longer, set SPACE_SNAPSHOT_STORAGE_SWEEPER_ENABLED=false before the rollout; that also holds every other path's orphans until it is turned back on.
AI assistance: Claude Code investigated the defect and drafted the fix, the regression test and this description.
Why: Pruning a deleted sandbox now releases its snapshot storage, including named snapshots, to the sweeper, and objects the sweeper deletes cannot be restored. The tests cover the pruning query, but the sweeper's behavior after its grace period and the Direct-substrate lane were not validated, so the change needs owner sign-off before merging.

No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.
Walkthrough
Pruning now returns deleted sandbox IDs and the count of snapshot storage locations detached during pruning. The retention tick includes that count in its report, metric, and logs. Tests cover detached locations, pruning boundaries, and reported counts. The snapshot-listing description now documents snapshot deletion and retention behavior.
Merge Risk: High · up to 91cd7
Pruning a deleted sandbox now releases its snapshot storage, including named snapshots, to the sweeper, and objects the sweeper deletes cannot be restored.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 91cd7
The change preserves the existing deletion eligibility and makes the metadata transition atomic. No new access-control bypass was established. Risk remains above minimal because protection of dependent copies during subsequent object cleanup was not fully verified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — The privileged prune selects expired deleted sandboxes across organizations; it has no organization filter in either base or head. The new update follows snapshot ownership through candidate sandbox IDs. Subsequent object deletion is restricted to the configured bucket and skips encrypted-sidecar locations.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The routed public-entrypoint change adds aggregate reporting inside the existing background tick; it does not add request parameters or a network handler. Inspected fork source acquisition separately checks organization ownership and accepts only started, paused or suspended sources, excluding deleted sandboxes.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The existing sweeper retains metadata on object-deletion failure and retries metadata failures after byte deletion. Its conditional orphan recheck occurs after object deletion, so that recheck alone is not protection against a concurrent reattachment. This ordering predates the PR; increased exposure through dependent copies was not established.

Explanation
The title starts with the lowercase area "sandbox-store:" followed by a colon, then a summary starting with the lowercase word "detach". It has no trailing period and no ticket ID. It names the main change: detaching snapshot storage before a tombstone is pruned, which the objectives and raw summary both describe. The title meets the configured format and matches the changeset.
Full details: Description Follows The Pr Template
Explanation
The PR description (PR #1410, perplexityai/SPACE) contains all four required items, each with real content: 1. "## Summary": Present. It states that tombstone::prune_deleted_sandboxes detaches candidate storage locations (snapshot_id = NULL, orphaned_at = NOW()) in the same statement as the delete, which fixes the ON DELETE RESTRICT failure that stalls retention. 2. "## Validation": Present. It names the regression test store_prunes_deleted_sandbox_with_attached_storage_location_in_same_batch and its result on main (fails with 23503) and on the branch (passes, storage_locations_detached is 3). It also lists the nextest run, fmt, error-policy, clippy, archcheck, Kind, and smoke-test results. 3. "## Severity and risk": Present. It gives "Severity: medium" and a detailed "Risk:" paragraph covering sweeper deletion, the unrecoverable window, and rollback. 4. "AI assistance:" line: Present. It reads "AI assistance: Claude Code investigated the defect and drafted the fix, the regression test and this description," which names the tool and the parts it drafted. The check tests presence only, and every required item is present and non-empty. The PR description was supplied in the metadata, so no tool calls were needed.
Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
Explanation
The check applies. The PR fixes a defect in application code under crates/: prune_deleted_sandboxes in crates/l30_storage/sandbox/store/src/tombstone.rs fails with 23503 when a census tombstone's snapshot has an attached storage location. The Validation section names a regression test, tombstone_retention::tests::store_prunes_deleted_sandbox_with_attached_storage_location_in_same_batch. It states that the test fails on main with 23503 and both tombstones remain, and passes with the fix, with storage_locations_detached equal to 3. The diff confirms the test exists in crates/l40_api/cluster/controller/server/src/tombstone_retention/tests.rs and asserts storage_locations_detached == 3. The fail-without-fix claim comes from the contributor's description and was not re-run here. The named test satisfies the check.
Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
Explanation
The diff touches five files: tombstone.rs (sandbox store), public_docs.rs, tombstone_retention.rs, the metrics/tombstone.rs file, and tombstone_retention/tests.rs. None of the custom check's weakening triggers appear. - No test, assertion, or lint was removed or loosened. The only removed lines in tests.rs are two import lines, which were reformatted to add LocalArtifactId and publish_ready_disk_artifact. The other test changes add assertions or fields (e.g., storage_locations_detached: 19 and assert_eq!(report.storage_locations_detached, 0)). - No #[allow], #[expect], #[ignore], skip, xfail, continue-on-error, SPACE_TEST_DEPS_OPTIONAL, or nextest exclusion was added. The only attribute added is #[derive(Debug, Clone, Default, PartialEq, Eq)] on the new PrunedDeletedSandboxes struct, which is not a suppression. - No CI workflow, allowlist, baseline, known-failures file, Cargo [lints] table, or lint configuration changed. - No AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, .agents/, or docs/rust/ file changed. The one docs edit is in the public API description in public_docs.rs, which describes snapshot deletion behavior. It does not touch review guidance, merge-risk ratings, or approvals. The removed DELETE ... RETURNING return type and the Vec<Uuid> return value in tombstone.rs are functional code changes. They do not remove a guard or safeguard.
Full details: Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands
Explanation
The check covers agent plugin manifests (plugin.json, plugin.yaml), SKILL.md files, skill/command files, and guideline files. The changed-file inventory for this PR (git diff --name-status against the review base) lists five modified files, all Rust sources or Rust test files: - crates/l30_storage/sandbox/store/src/tombstone.rs - crates/l40_api/api/src/routes/public_docs.rs - crates/l40_api/cluster/controller/server/src/metrics/tombstone.rs - crates/l40_api/cluster/controller/server/src/tombstone_retention.rs - crates/l40_api/cluster/controller/server/src/tombstone_retention/tests.rs A filename search for plugin manifests, SKILL.md, skills/ or commands/ directories, CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, .claude/.cursor, MCP/LSP/hook configuration, and Markdown files returned no matches. The PR therefore adds or changes no hook, MCP server, LSP server, command-running manifest entry, SKILL.md frontmatter key, or inline shell substitution. The public_docs.rs change is a Rust API description string, not a skill or command file. The check does not apply to this diff, so it passes.
Full details: Public-Safe Content
Explanation
The public-safe content check finds no listed sensitive content in the diff, title, or description. - Diff scan: the five changed files contain no credentials, private keys, tokens, or real-looking secrets. Added-line scans for URLs, hostnames, IP addresses, AWS ARNs, 12-digit account IDs, personal workstation paths, and key-like strings returned no matches. - Storage URLs in the new test (s3://snapshots/tombstone-*, s3://snapshots/stopped-past-retention) are obvious fake fixture values, not real buckets. - Personal paths: none in the diff. The commit author names are normal git metadata, not in the check's scope. - Description: it names CI directories (admin-token, cold-receipt) and an internal metric name (internal_api.local_backup_queue.absent_not_durable). These are not credentials, hostnames, URLs, or real resource identifiers, so they do not match the listed categories. - Production data: the Kind output (deleted_sandboxes_deleted: 2) and smoke-test counts come from a local test cluster, not production logs or measurements. - Incidents and vulnerabilities: the description covers a retention-stall reliability bug. It is not a security vulnerability, and it does not describe a production incident. No file or line triggers the check, so no finding is reported.

Cover multiple snapshots in the retention test.
A tombstone can retain multiple snapshots. If any location remains attached, it can block the batch. The test covers only one disk snapshot, so it does not protect removal of every location.
Add disk and full snapshots to one candidate. Assert that both locations are detached and orphaned.

The census tombstone leaves a deleted row's snapshots and attached storage
locations; the locations' FK to snapshots is ON DELETE RESTRICT, so one such
row failed the retention transaction on every tick. prune_deleted_sandboxes
now detaches the candidates' locations (snapshot_id = NULL, orphaned_at =
NOW()) in the delete's statement and returns the pruned ids with the count
detached, reported as storage_locations_detached in the tick, its log and a
counter. Snapshot retention would not clear them: it keeps each sandbox's
newest keep_n full snapshots and every disk snapshot whose origin isn't stop.
Contract: a sandbox's snapshots, named ones included, go with its row, as
in delete_with_dependents and delete_published_absent_stopped. A census
tombstone keeps them for DELETED_SANDBOX_RETENTION (7 days); the sweeper
then deletes their objects after its one-hour grace, except other-bucket
and encrypted-sidecar locations.
The listSnapshots description and the prune's doc comment said a sandbox
tombstoned by its node's census keeps its snapshots listed for at least
7 days. Only tombstone pruning waits that long; ordinary snapshot
retention can still remove an older `full` snapshot outside `keep_n` in
that time. Both now say so. Docs only; no behaviour change.

In an environment whose tombstone retention is stalled today, the first ticks under a new-version leader prune the backlog, oldest first, up to 1,000 sandbox rows per 5-minute tick, and detach the pruned census tombstones' storage locations.
