[cr-test] sandbox-store: detach snapshot storage before pruning a tombstone so one row can't stall retention - #1531
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 before the delete. delete::delete_with_dependents and delete_published_absent_stopped already do this. The snapshot-storage sweeper then reclaims the objects after its grace period.
Skipping such rows instead would keep them forever: the sweeper only reaps rows that are already detached, and snapshot retention keeps each sandbox's newest snapshot. 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
New 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 it passes: both rows are pruned and the location is detached and stamped.
Changed test expectations: none. The new test is the only test change.
cargo arch against main's baseline and architecture: 0 required findings, sandbox_writes unchanged.
Kind, fresh cluster from this head (SPACE_KIND_TELEMETRY_MODE=otel, CI's admin-token and cold-receipt directories), bring-up in 8m10s. Staged one aged tombstone with a snapshot and attached location, plus one ordinary aged tombstone. The next retention tick logged deleted_sandboxes_deleted: 2, and the location was left detached and stamped for the sweeper.
scripts/tests/smoke-kind-typed.sh all: ECW 91/91, native 42/42 passed in 65m50s. The 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. No user-facing data is lost.
Risk: the prune now hands a tombstone's snapshot objects to the sweeper. Those objects can't be reached once the row is pruned, because the snapshot rows cascade away. No schema change. Rollback: revert the commit. Locations already detached stay valid sweeper input.
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.
AI assistance: Claude Code investigated the defect and drafted the fix, the regression test and this description.

Why: Pruning now detaches snapshot storage for later cleanup. This lifecycle change carries moderate merge risk.
Commit: 6517f058a050.
Walkthrough
Pruning now materializes the candidate sandbox selection, detaches storage locations for snapshots belonging to those candidates, and then deletes the sandbox rows. A database test checks that two expired sandboxes are deleted and that the attached location has no snapshot association and is marked orphaned.

Before / after behavior
observed — Modified behavior in crates/libs/cluster/controller/server/src/tombstone_retention/tests.rs: The test module adds LocalArtifactId and publish_ready_disk_artifact imports for creating a snapshot artifact with an attached storage location.
observed — Modified behavior in crates/libs/cluster/controller/server/src/tombstone_retention/tests.rs: Adds a database test that creates two eight-day-old deleted sandboxes, attaches a ready disk artifact and storage location to one, and re-ages that sandbox after fixture setup. It runs pruning with seven-day retention and a batch limit of 100, then checks that both sandboxes are deleted and the location has no snapshot association and is marked orphaned.
observed — Modified behavior in crates/libs/sandbox/store/src/tombstone.rs: The documentation now says the helper detaches snapshot storage locations and explains the census-pruning foreign-key failure if locations remain attached. The candidate CTE is now explicitly materialized; the existing candidate filters and ordering remain unchanged.
observed — Modified behavior in crates/libs/sandbox/store/src/tombstone.rs: Adds a CTE that updates storage locations for snapshots belonging to candidate sandboxes, clearing snapshot_id, stamping orphaned_at with NOW(), and returning a row per updated location before the sandbox delete.

Title check
The title describes the retention fix, but it uses two prefixes: [cr-test] and sandbox-store:. The required format permits one lowercase area prefix.
Use sandbox-store: detach snapshot storage before pruning a tombstone so one row can't stall retention or [sandbox-store] detach snapshot storage before pruning a tombstone so one row can't stall retention.

Explanation
The PR fixes application behavior in crates/. Its Validation section names tombstone_retention::tests::store_prunes_deleted_sandbox_with_attached_storage_location_in_same_batch and states that it fails on main with 23503 while it passes with the fix. The diff adds this regression test and changes prune_deleted_sandboxes to detach storage before deletion.

Explanation
The diff changes only two Rust files. It adds one regression test with assertions and adds storage detachment logic. The only deleted lines are unused-import formatting and the original CTE line, replaced by WITH candidates AS MATERIALIZED. No test, assertion, lint, CI check, or repository guard is weakened or removed.
