Summary

Centralize cluster admission refusal construction in ControllerError::cluster_admission_rejected. Both request-entry admission checks and deferred SubstrateError::AdmissionRejected conversion now use the shared constructor, removing duplicated construction and providing one place for subsequent admission-classification changes.

Preserve the existing HTTP 429 status, optional Retry-After header, and retry-cause behavior. Only rate-limited refusals carry ClusterActivationAdmission; empty-cluster refusals continue to omit that cause so they retain bounded dispatcher retries. This PR does not add an admission-rejection marker or metric call sites.

Validation

CI on this head (4b4d516865a0d6751b22c31ce9dc53029bd33769) passed: Rust tests, Rust formatting, Clippy, and the overall Pull CI check.

The regression test admission_refusals_keep_their_dispatcher_retry_causes passed in the Rust test job. It covers rate-limited and empty-cluster refusals through both request-entry and substrate-conversion paths, asserting HTTP 429, the expected optional retry header, absence of a converging-operation retry marker, and the expected retry cause.

Dispatcher behavior has not been validated end to end. This is a behavior-preserving refactor, not a bug fix; the added test pins the existing response metadata rather than demonstrating a failure on main.

Severity and risk

Severity does not apply: this is a behavior-preserving refactor. The main risk is changing admission-error retry metadata, particularly giving empty-cluster refusals the backpressure cause and causing them to be requeued instead of receiving bounded retries. The regression test checks that distinction for both conversion paths.

Rollback: revert this PR to restore the separate error-construction paths.

Stack

Requested-size metrics stack; merge the parent before this PR:

The incremental scope is the constructor, its two callers, and the regression test, not the metric definitions inherited from the parent.

No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.

Walkthrough

The change adds a shared constructor for cluster admission refusal responses. Lifecycle and substrate error conversions use it. Tests cover rate-limited and empty-cluster refusals, including HTTP status, Retry-After headers, and dispatcher retry causes.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 1c960

Admission refusals retain their existing response and retry behavior. No actionable merge risk remains beyond normal checks.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to f875d

The refactor preserves admission enforcement, HTTP 429 responses, retry hints, and the distinction between rate-limit backpressure and bounded empty-cluster retries. No material security risk was found introduced or worsened by this change.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The effective exposure remains admission-refused sandbox requests and their existing asynchronous-operation consumers. Centralizing error construction does not introduce another caller, admission path, or privileged action.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Request-entry admission remains before requested-event emission. Deferred recovery admission still produces a substrate refusal that is converted at the controller boundary; response centralization does not replace either enforcement point.

Explanation

The title "api: centralize cluster admission rejection construction" starts with the lowercase area "api:" followed by a lowercase summary verb. It matches the required format. It also states the main change: the admission rejection constructor is centralized in ControllerError::cluster_admission_rejected and reused by both callers. It has no trailing period, ticket ID, or internal link.

Explanation

PASS: This pull request is a behavior-preserving refactor, not an application bug fix. The diff centralizes existing 429 construction and adds a regression test for the preserved metadata. The validation section explicitly states that the change is not a bug fix.

Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified

Explanation

The diff does not weaken a safeguard. It changes only four Rust source files, removes duplicated error construction, and adds 60 test lines with assertions for status, retry headers, retry markers, and causes. It deletes no tests or assertions and changes no lint, CI, allowlist, baseline, or test configuration.

A cluster activation admission refusal reaches ControllerError two
ways: from the request-entry admission check, and from
SubstrateError::AdmissionRejected when the substrate charges a restore
claim later. Each built the 429 by hand. Both now use
ControllerError::cluster_admission_rejected, so a later change can mark
every admission refusal in one place.

Behavior is unchanged. Only a rate-limited refusal carries the
ClusterActivationAdmission retry cause; an empty-cluster refusal still
omits it, so the async dispatcher keeps giving it a bounded retry. A
new test pins the status, retry header and cause for all four cases.
