[cr-test] db-migrate: let bootstrap-roles leave excluded relations ungranted - #1446
bootstrap-roles grants the application roles (space_user, space_ro, space_creds) privileges on every relation in schema public, views included,
on every run. A planned rename leaves compatibility views under the old table
names. Before those views are dropped, a brownout step revokes the application
roles' privileges on them so that any remaining reader fails loudly. Without
this change, the next bootstrap-roles run restores those privileges and the
brownout is quietly undone.
This adds GRANT_EXCLUDED_RELATIONS in crates/l30_storage/db/migrate/src/bootstrap_roles.rs: relations bootstrap grants
the application roles nothing on. converge_grants takes the list as a
parameter. Excluded relations are skipped by the per-relation grant loop and by
the space_ro column-scoped re-grant. Revokes still apply to them: the
credential fence, and the column fence's space_ro revoke. Bootstrap logs each
skipped relation at info level. Every SQL statement stays whole; the exclusion
is a Rust-side filter on the existing catalog query's results.
The production list is empty. A brownout adds its views to it. An entry is
removed only after the migration that drops its view has applied everywhere:
provisioning runs bootstrap-roles before migrations, so an image without the
entry would re-grant the view before the drop. Landing the mechanism now keeps
the brownout step to a list change. It does not protect a brownout by itself: a
bootstrap run from any image that lacks the brownout's entry, this one
included, re-grants the views.
An exclusion list is smaller than the alternative of having bootstrap re-grant
only relations it declares. Bootstrap does not declare per-relation grants: it
grants on every relation in public, so new and adopted tables converge with
no list at all. Declaring grants would mean listing every application table.
Validation
On this head, with Docker running and the Rust toolchain from rust-toolchain.toml:
Test-first, grant loop: before the exclusion existed, a test that revoked space_user, space_ro and space_creds on a fixture view
(CREATE VIEW legacy_fixture AS SELECT id FROM renamed_fixture) and then ran
bootstrap failed with space_user must stay revoked on the view. That
confirms bootstrap restores the revoked privileges.
grant_exclusion_keeps_revoked_view_privileges_revoked sends the fixture
view through the production converge_grants path with its own exclusion
list. It checks that all three roles stay revoked on the view while its base
table is granted, then that a normal bootstrap run (production list) grants
the view again.
Test-first, column fence: grant_exclusion_still_fences_denylisted_columns_from_ro
creates, as space_migrator, a view named sessions (an RO_COLUMN_DENYLIST entry) over id and token_hash. Its precondition
checks that space_ro starts with SELECT from the default privileges. With sessions excluded, converge_grants must leave space_ro no column
(has_any_column_privilege) while space_user keeps its table SELECT. A
normal bootstrap run then must grant space_roid but not token_hash.
Before the fix, the column fence skipped excluded relations entirely, and the
test failed with space_ro must lose every column of an excluded denylisted view. It passes after the fix.
Mutation checks, each restored afterwards (run on the pre-rebase head; the rebase
onto the crate layer move changed only file paths):
With the column fence's new continue for excluded relations removed (an
excluded relation gets the column-scoped re-grant), only grant_exclusion_still_fences_denylisted_columns_from_ro fails, with the
message above.
With the earlier filter that skipped excluded relations in the column fence
restored, the same test fails the same way.
With the grant loop's skip removed, only grant_exclusion_keeps_revoked_view_privileges_revoked fails, with space_user must stay revoked on the excluded view.
Not validated: workspace-wide clippy on this head; the full CI matrix; other
CI Rust passes; Kind.
Severity and risk
Severity: low on its own, because the list is empty. It is a precondition for a
safe brownout: without it, a routine bootstrap run would silently undo one.
Risk: with an empty list, the grant loop and both fences run exactly as before.
Once a relation is listed, bootstrap stops granting the application roles on
it, so a listed relation that is not actually being retired loses access on its
next revoke; if it is in RO_COLUMN_DENYLIST, space_ro loses access on the
next bootstrap run. Roll back by removing the entry, or by reverting this
commit, and re-running bootstrap-roles.
Rollout
No migration, flag or configuration. With the empty list, every image behaves
as before. Once a brownout adds an entry, a bootstrap run from an image without
that entry re-grants the view. From the brownout's revoke until the view's drop
has applied everywhere, every bootstrap run, a rollback included, must come
from an image that carries the entry. The migration-isolation check rejects
changes to this list in a PR that also changes migrations, so entries are added
and removed in PRs of their own.
AI assistance: An AI agent (Claude Code) wrote the code, the tests and this description.
On every run, bootstrap-roles grants the application roles (space_user,
space_ro, space_creds) privileges on every relation in schema public,
views included. A brownout revokes those privileges on a compatibility
view before a migration drops it, so any remaining reader fails loudly.
The next bootstrap run grants them back and quietly undoes the
brownout.
Add GRANT_EXCLUDED_RELATIONS. The per-relation grant loop and the
space_ro column-scoped re-grant skip the relations it lists. Revokes
still apply to them: the credential fence, and the column fence's
space_ro revoke. So when a migration recreates a listed view that is in
RO_COLUMN_DENYLIST, and space_migrator's default privileges grant
space_ro table-level SELECT on it, the next bootstrap run still revokes
that SELECT.
The list is empty. An entry has to ship in every migrator image that can
run bootstrap while its brownout is in effect. It is removed only after
the migration that drops its view has applied everywhere: provisioning
runs bootstrap before migrations, so an image without the entry would
re-grant the view before the drop. Landing the empty list now keeps the
brownout step to a list change. It does not protect a brownout by
itself: a bootstrap run from an image without the entry re-grants the
views.
Two Postgres tests cover the list. The first revokes the application
roles' privileges on a fixture view, runs the grant loop with the view
listed, and checks that the view stays revoked while its base table is
granted. A bootstrap run with the production list then grants the view
again. The second creates a view under a column-denylisted name
as space_migrator, so space_ro starts with SELECT on it. With the view
listed, converge_grants leaves space_ro no column of it while space_user
keeps its grant. A bootstrap run with the production list then
restores the normal column fence: id is readable and token_hash is not.
Why: The exclusion list is currently empty, so default grants remain unchanged. Before relying on exclusions for a brownout, cover their forwarding through bootstrap.
Commit: e3cdf24ff572.
Walkthrough
Bootstrap now passes an exclusion list to converge_grants. Matching relations do not receive grants. Applicable credential and space_ro column-fence revokes still run. PostgreSQL tests cover excluded views, other relations, and grant behavior after a later normal bootstrap.

Merge Risk: High · up to e3cdf
The exclusion list is currently empty, so default grants remain unchanged. Before relying on exclusions for a brownout, cover their forwarding through bootstrap.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to e3cdf
The active exclusion list is empty, and the changed paths preserve existing credential and sensitive-column protections. Future use requires coordinated migrator versions and migration ordering because exclusions preserve prior revocations rather than continuously enforce denied access.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — When populated, exclusions affect matching public relations and the space_user, space_ro, and space_creds roles in the database selected by the privileged bootstrap caller. This is database-level policy, not a per-request or per-tenant control. No matching relation is currently configured for exclusion.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The exclusion policy originates in compiled provisioning code rather than an application request or new runtime argument. The command retains its administrative database connection requirement, and exclusions do not suppress the credential or sensitive-column revokes. The inspected change therefore does not introduce an untrusted-input path for selecting exclusions or widening database authority.

The exclusion tests bypass bootstrap when the list is nonempty. Parameterize the private bootstrap function with an exclusion slice, pass GRANT_EXCLUDED_RELATIONS from production, and run the existing revoked-view fixture through bootstrap(..., &["legacy_fixture"]). This covers the forwarding path without treating the current empty list as a production failure.
Suggested fix
- let skipped = converge_grants(conn, GRANT_EXCLUDED_RELATIONS).await?;+ let skipped = converge_grants(conn, excluded).await?;
Use the existing fixture with the nonempty slice when calling bootstrap, while production continues to pass GRANT_EXCLUDED_RELATIONS.
