Summary

GET /admin/api/v1/sandboxes gains search, and its rows name their owner and a slot's warm pool.

Search matches sandboxes by ID only. It takes an ID's hex digits: after an optional sbx_ (either case) and with dashes left out, 4 to 32 of them. It matches:

  • IDs that end with them, from 4 digits, such as the console's 8-digit label;
  • IDs that start with them, from 8 digits. A UUIDv7 starts with its creation time, so fewer digits would match days of sandboxes.

Any other text answers 400. The message says what search takes, and points names at the existing case-sensitive prefix, which works as before. Substring search is tracked separately.

It works on the paged and unpaged list, combines with every filter, and, like them, leaves out the node-reported rows. Existing callers keep their results, and an API without search answers it with a 400 a console can detect.

Search statements read the matches through #1522's idx_sandboxes_id_suffix and the primary key in a MATERIALIZED CTE, then apply the other filters and the cursor, so a generic plan never walks the table.

user_email: the owner's current email, from the same statement; null on node-reported rows and for federated owners. It is admin-only: native and ECW responses never carry it.

Pool slots: a Kubernetes slot's pod runs under its reserved sandbox ID. The list and the single read now call such a row pool_slot with pool_id, the warm pool's GET /warm-pools id, read through one store verb, pool_reservations. Direct slots keep pool_template.

Validation

At this head:

  • fmt and clippy (--all-targets --all-features -D warnings) are clean;
  • cargo nextest run -p pplx-space-api -p pplx-space-cluster-pool -p pplx-space-internal-api-server --all-features: 3,098 passed, no dependency skips;
  • cargo arch against the merge base with main: no required findings.

Tests cover each ID arm and boundary on both statements (3/4 end digits, 7/8 start digits), the 400 for other text, a cursor walk, combined filters, federated owners, the native/ECW email exclusion, the slot read and the count. A plan test bounds both statements under both plan modes, and requires them to exceed the bound without the ID-end index.

Regression tests, each failing with its fix reverted and passing at this head:

Test Fails without the fix because
…admin::tests::the_count_is_the_tally_of_the_full_list the count says PoolSlot and the list ObservedLocal for a Kubernetes slot
…sandbox_list::tests::the_list_and_the_sandbox_name_the_owner_by_email user_email is null, or a federated owner's placeholder
…sandbox_list::tests::the_list_pages_by_cursor_and_keeps_the_unpaged_array search on the unpaged list returns every row
…sandbox_list::tests::malformed_list_parameters_answer_400 a name or 3 hex digits is searched (200), not refused

At 300,000 sandboxes, a search handles at most 204 rows under either plan; without idx_sandboxes_id_suffix, about 300,000 (plan-300k.txt).

On Kind, after the index drop ran: this API's answers to ID ends, ID starts (7 and 8 digits) and names. #1524's console passed the loop's search steps on it. The slot in main's console (earlier round, unchanged):

Before: Observed local
After: Pool slot

Severity and risk

Severity: moderate. The console's label found nothing beyond the loaded page, and Kubernetes slots were mislabelled.

Risk:

Rollback: revert; #1524 falls back.

Rollout

Reads #1522's idx_sandboxes_id_suffix, already on main. Nothing reads idx_sandboxes_name_lower any more; the migration-only PR db: drop the lowercased sandbox name index drops it.

Stack

#1522 (merged), then this, then the index drop and #1524.

Not covered

  • user_email on native /v1: a privacy decision.
  • Name search ignoring case, dropped with its index, and substring search, tracked separately.
  • Direct pool IDs.

Automatic approval withheld

Assessment Current risk Maximum for approval
Merge risk Moderate Low

Why: The admin sandbox list gains ID search and shows owner emails and pool IDs. Tests cover the new behavior, and no concrete defect was found. Because the pool-store SQL changed, owners should confirm the reservation lookup and query-plan bounds before merging.

No actionable comments were generated in the recent review.

Walkthrough

The admin sandbox list separates prefix filtering from validated ID search and uses separate paged and unpaged query paths. Warm-pool reservation lookups return sandbox IDs with pool config IDs. Admin response and count paths use reservations to identify Kubernetes pool slots. Admin sandbox responses include local owner email, and tests check that native and ECW responses omit it.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 76671

The admin sandbox list gains ID search and shows owner emails and pool IDs. Tests cover the new behavior, and no concrete defect was found. Because the pool-store SQL changed, owners should confirm the reservation lookup and query-plan bounds before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 76671

The reviewed search and metadata paths retain administrative authorization, validated search inputs, and separate standard sandbox response schemas. No introduced security bypass was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns indirect response paths and deployment of the index required for efficient search.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The administrative query can span organizations when no org filter is supplied. Both admin list and single-sandbox reads invoke require_managing_org_admin before returning the enriched response, bounding the reviewed disclosure of local-owner email and warm-pool IDs to that administrative surface.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Search text is validated into typed ranges and passed as SQL bind parameters rather than interpolated into statements. The inspected native sandbox projection and E2B/ECW response schemas explicitly enumerate fields without owner email; native list/get and E2B detail tests assert that both the field and email value are absent.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Reservation enrichment propagates lookup failures rather than silently treating unresolved pool membership as authoritative nonmembership. In the node desired-state adapter, the pre-existing deletion-partition suppression controls remain after the unchanged ID-membership decision.

…ers and pools

The console labels a sandbox with the last eight hex digits of its
UUIDv7, but the list's prefix filter matches names case-sensitively and
IDs from their start, so typing the label found nothing beyond the page
on screen. Add a search parameter: a name prefix ignoring case, or an ID
suffix of 4 to 32 hex digits, dashes and an sbx_ marker ignored. It runs
its own page and unpaged statements, which read the matches through the
new ID-suffix and lowercased-name indexes in a MATERIALIZED CTE before
the other filters, so both plan modes read only the matching rows. A
plan test bounds them on a 20,000-row table and shows that dropping the
indexes breaks the bound.

The list and the sandbox read now carry user_email, the owner's current
email, from the users join they already make.

A Kubernetes warm-pool slot's node reports no pool membership, so its
rowless sandbox was listed as observed_local. The slot table already
reserves that sandbox ID: the list and the spaced-version count now call
it pool_slot, and the list names its warm pool in pool_id.
…ions

Address review of the search:

- A search is trimmed and needs at least 3 characters, or answers 400:
  a shorter name prefix matches too many rows to read and sort on every
  page.
- The name range now ends at the exact successor of the text's index
  key, read back from Postgres, so names continuing past the text with
  U+10FFFF match.
- Hex text also matches IDs that start with it, through the primary
  key, as the console's prefix side request used to.
- user_email is null for a federated owner, whose user row holds a
  generated placeholder; tests pin that the native and ECW responses
  never carry it.

The spaced-version count no longer pastes a predicate from the warm-pool
store. It binds the reservations of the rowless observed sandboxes, read
through one store verb, pool_reservations, which replaces
reserved_sandbox_ids and reserving_pool_configs and has a store test.

page_rows_cte now fails loudly on candidate rows without its
placeholders. New tests walk a search by cursor, combine it with the
template, user and node filters, and read a Kubernetes pool slot by ID.
The OpenAPI text says pool_id is the id of a GET /warm-pools entry.
…count's IDs

A UUIDv7 starts with its creation time in milliseconds, so four leading
hex digits match about 50 days of sandboxes and five about three. The
ID-start arm of the admin list's search now needs eight, about a
minute; the ID-suffix arm keeps four and the name arm three
characters. Tests cover seven and eight digits on both statements, and
the plan test searches an ID start among UUIDv7-shaped IDs.

The spaced-version count compares a rowless slot with the bound
reservations through IN (SELECT unnest(...)), which plans as a hashed
subplan; = ANY of a bound array is hashed only for a constant.

The cursor-walk test now walks with and without a search at one, two
and three rows a page, so rows sharing a created_at land on different
pages. The pool_id and user_email docs and ReservedPoolSlot's doc
comment match the code.

…e messages

a_search_reads_only_the_rows_it_matches took 4.5 s in CI, over the 4 s
failure bound. Seed 5,000 sandboxes instead of 20,000, still ten times the
rows any plan may handle and the scan's 5,000 still over the bound, and run
the twenty plan explains together. The same test runs in 0.3 s on a dev box.

The tests that check the native, ECW and admin responses against the owner's
email now fail with static messages, so a failure never prints a body that
can hold the email (CodeQL cleartext-logging alerts).
`search` now takes only an ID's hex digits: 4 to 32 of them after an
optional sbx_ and with dashes left out, matching IDs that end with them
and, from 8 digits, IDs that start with them. Any other text answers 400
and points names at the case-sensitive `prefix`.

Dropping the name arm removes its index-key read-back round trip, the
key successor and the 3-character minimum, so the lowercased-name index
can go.

Approving. ID search and the existing name-prefix filter stay separate. The updated validation, pagination, and query-plan tests pass.

The admin list's search no longer matches names (perplexityai#1523), so nothing reads
idx_sandboxes_name_lower. Most sandbox rows have no name, and every
non-HOT write to the table still inserts into it. Drop it concurrently;
the down rebuilds it as its create migration did.
