[cr-test] ui: follow up the sandbox list's rolling-deploy rule: pauses, notices and the prefix section - #1461
Follows up the review of #1397, which made the console's sandbox list (ui/) keep its rows through a rolling deploy and stop, with a reload notice, only once older-format answers had gone on long enough. This fixes one medium and three low findings from that review, and replaces the stop rule's time window with a plain count.
The list stops on a count of bare arrays only. The list stops after STOP_AFTER_MISMATCHES (20) bare arrays in a row answering paged requests, the list's or the prefix search's (ListSelection.noteAnswer in ui/src/lib/sandbox-list.ts). The rows stay on screen under the reload notice, as before. A page answer resets the count. Failed requests, such as errors and 503s, and answers a newer request superseded neither count nor reset it. Twenty in a row means almost every replica is old: while half the replicas are old, a run of answers reaches twenty about once in a million (2^-20). A failed refresh is retried about once a second, so a real downgrade stops the list in about 20 s. Earlier heads of this PR also required a minute of such answers and started the run over after a gap. Each round of review then found a new timing case: a hidden tab, a sleeping laptop, a request in flight across a pause, and two tabs waiting on each other's requests through the shared refresh lock. Those rules are gone: STOP_AFTER_MISMATCH_MS, the send-gap rule (MISMATCH_RUN_GAP_MS) and the injected clock.
The older-format notice follows the main list's last outcome. The notice above the table ("The API answered in an older format; retrying") was shown while a mismatch count shared by the list and the prefix search was above zero, so either one could clear or show it for the other. Now a bare array answering the list shows it, and any other outcome of a list load clears it (showsOlderFormat). After a bare array, a failed request now replaces the notice with the normal refresh-error display. Before, the notice stayed and the error went only to the console. The prefix search's bare arrays are still reported in its own section, and they still count toward stopping the list.
The prefix section stays when older matches exist. On a paging server, a hex-only search also lists the matches beyond the page in a "More matches beyond this page" section. That section was left out whenever an answer had nothing to add to the main table, including when every match the server returned was on screen but the server had older ones. That hid the hint to type more of the name or ID. When the answer says there are more, the section now stays, with this line in place of its table: "All of the first N matches are on this page; type more of the name or ID to find older ones." If the node filter hid some of those matches, the line says so instead. N is the number of rows the answer returned, not the requested page size: the API can end a page early with more to follow when its byte budget runs out. "Showing the first N" uses the same number.
The module comment is narrowed. It said every mismatch keeps the rows on screen. That holds only for a refresh of the page on screen. A bare array answering Next, Previous or a filter change fails that load and clears the table with an error, as any failed load of a new scope does on main. That behavior is unchanged.
Before, with the prefix answer covering only the 25 rows on screen and more on the server:

Validation
At this head, in ui/: npm ci, npm test (219 tests pass), npx tsc --noEmit -p . and npm run build all pass.
Unit tests in ui/src/lib/sandbox-list.test.mjs:
"a ten-minute pause after a bare array, as in a hidden tab, does not change the count" runs the review's probe: one bare array, ten minutes on mocked timers, then 19 more. The list stops on the twentieth.
"a page between bare arrays starts the count over": 19 bare arrays, a page, and 19 more don't stop the list. The next one does.
"failed and superseded requests between bare arrays neither count nor start over": 10 bare arrays, then five 503s, then a superseded page and a superseded bare array. The count stays at 10, and the list stops on the twentieth bare array.
"ten minutes of interleaved old and new answers, half of them old, never stop a paged list": three fixed patterns, including 19 bare arrays then a page, and three seeded random sources (mulberry32), simulated at one retry a second after a bare array and ten seconds after a page.
"a paged list stops on the twentieth bare array in a row", and "a bare array answering the prefix search counts toward stopping the list", which now counts to twenty with no clock.
"the older-format notice follows the list's last outcome": a bare array shows the notice, a 503 clears it, another bare array shows it, and a page clears it.
The tests that only exercised the minute window or the send gap are removed.
Fail-before: this test file was run against the previous head's sandbox-list.ts (d4179a5) with a stub showsOlderFormat export added. Of 44 tests, 5 fail: the twentieth-bare-array, ten-minute-pause, page-resets, failed-and-superseded and prefix tests. The previous rule also needed a minute of answers.
In a browser, the built ui/ at this head was served with next start and driven with Playwright 1.64.1. Every API request was answered by route interception with synthetic data. The test hid the tab by overriding document.hidden and advanced ten minutes with Playwright's clock.
A page, one bare array, ten minutes hidden, then bare arrays. The list sent nothing while hidden. After the 19th bare array it still showed its 5 rows under the older-format notice. On the 20th it stopped with the reload notice, kept its 5 rows and sent nothing afterwards.
A page, ten minutes hidden, 19 bare arrays, five 503s, then one more bare array. During the 503s the older-format notice was gone and the list had not stopped. The next bare array, the 20th, stopped it with its 5 rows kept.
The prefix-section screenshots were not retaken. Their answer returns all 25 rows of the page size, so the line they show is unchanged.
Not validated: Kind was not run, and two tabs sharing the refresh lock were not driven in a browser. The count rule doesn't depend on timing, so a lock wait changes nothing. Next, Previous and filter changes during a rollout were not driven either, since their behavior is unchanged. The text for a prefix answer cut short by the byte budget is not covered by a test, because it is rendered in page.tsx.
Severity and risk
Severity: medium for the stop rule. After a hidden tab or a sleep during a rollout, an open list could stop with the reload notice within seconds of coming back, even though replicas that page were still answering. With two tabs open and slow requests, it might never stop. The other three are low: a notice or a hint that was shown wrongly or not at all. No data is changed.
Risk: the list stops after 20 bare arrays in a row answering paged requests. While half the replicas are old, a run reaches that about once in a million. If nearly every replica is old but not quite every one, a stray page resets the count and the list keeps retrying with its rows on screen under the older-format notice. After a bare array, a failed request now clears that notice and is reported as any failed refresh is: in the console for a background refresh, and as an error message for Refresh. A prefix search's answer no longer clears or shows the notice. To roll back, revert these commits.
Rollout
The change is about how the console behaves while old and new API versions run together. It needs no ordering with the API.
AI assistance: Claude Code drafted the code, the tests and this description.
List selection now stops after 20 consecutive bare-array responses to paged requests, without a time condition. Paged responses reset the count; failed and superseded requests leave it unchanged. The dashboard derives its older-format indicator from the list load result and uses the server-reported fragment-search match count to explain additional results.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 20a03
The list can now stop after 20 older-format answers without waiting a minute, requiring a reload. Consider the changed cutoff before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 20a03
The change is bounded to dashboard reads and reporting. It can stop automatic updates sooner during mixed-version deployments, but preserves scope checks, visibly reports the stopped state, and requires a reload to recover. No new access or privilege expansion was identified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated exposure change is bounded to the current dashboard’s read/update lifecycle and explanatory output. The inspected changes do not increase backend request authority, introduce persistent mutations, or add another tenant’s data source.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Prefix search preserves the selected organization and server-filter scope while changing the prefix. Its response must still match the active request key before application. Supplemental counts and deduplication affect presentation, not the authenticated API boundary.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — A list response already in flight when prefix accounting stops the list cannot restore rows or pagination: successful responses pass through the terminal guard before display. The dashboard handles the stopped outcome before applying returned rows.
