Summary

Narrow behaviour change. Node-publication ingest read PublishedSandboxState.status two ways. The Rust paths (transition-receipt check, quarantined report, state_changed_at check, the projection prefilters) trimmed it and compared it ignoring ASCII case. Ten SQL statements applied LOWER(TRIM(..)) under the database collation. Under a libc UTF-8 collation such as the test fixture's en_US.utf8, LOWER('FAİLED') = 'failed'. So a node publishing "FAİLED" moved a k8s row to failed and opened a failure episode, while the Rust paths treated the same text as unknown. A Turkish-collated database would lower-case plain FAILED differently again.

The status is now parsed once per published state into PublishedStatus: Known(StoredSandboxLifecycle) after trimming and ASCII case folding, or Unrecognized(String). Every Rust decision reads it. Every ingest statement compares the canonical published_lifecycle that the publish path now serializes (NULL when absent or unrecognized), instead of normalizing the status text. The database collation no longer decides what a node reported.

Changed outcome: a non-ASCII status such as "FAİLED" is unrecognized, so it no longer fails a row or opens a failure episode. Current nodes publish only enum labels, so this needs a non-SPACE or faulty publisher. ASCII spellings reach the same decisions as before.

Unchanged:

Adds SandboxTransitionTargetState::lifecycle() for the receipt check.

sql! text changes (recordset column status → published_lifecycle, and LOWER(TRIM(input.status)) → input.published_lifecycle):

  • published_state.rs: failure-episode insert, failure-episode clear, local-suspend handoff (adds the column; WHERE input.status IS NOT NULL is kept)
  • ingest.rs: TRANSITION_RECEIPT_RECORD_COLUMNS, mark_published_failed, converge_published_restoring_to_started, converge_published_stopped, release_completed_activations
  • sandbox_quarantine_store.rs: select_activation_rollback_candidates, recover_pause_failed_from_inventory (SELECT list and WHERE), select_suspended_projection_candidates

Validation

Test expectations:

  • Changed: published_status::non_ascii_failed_spelling_is_unrecognized (new). It fails on main (left: "failed", right: "started") and passes here.
  • New, equivalence: one Postgres sweep per changed statement (10) over ASCII spellings: canonical, upper, padded with spaces/tabs/CR/LF/FF, and near misses. All 10 pass on main and here. A case-sensitive parse fails all 10.
  • New, unit: PublishedStatus parse tests for canonical values, padding, case, blank and unknown strings.
  • Fixture key only: published_state_lifecycle_race_tests.rs renames its hand-built JSON key status → published_lifecycle. Expectation unchanged.
  • lifecycle_writers.rs and status_tests.rs are unchanged.

Commands at this head:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check, scripts/check-rust-error-policy.sh: pass
  • cargo arch (also with main's baseline and architecture files): 0 required findings, no sandbox_writes growth
  • cargo clippy --workspace --locked --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings: pass
  • SPACE_CI_REQUIRE_TEST_DEPS=1 cargo nextest run --all-features for common-core, internal-api-server, sandbox-store, placement and every dependent (internal-api-svc, api, template-mgr, build-mgr, cluster-controller-server, snapshot-retention): 4897 of 4899 pass, Postgres required.
    • The other 2 (template-mgr NoCoW tests) need the btrfs fixture and pass under ci/scripts/with-nocow-test-filesystem.sh.
    • 1 #[ignore] benchmark was not run.
  • Fresh Kind from this head, SPACE_KIND_TELEMETRY_MODE=otel, CI's admin-token and cold-receipt directories:
    • up.sh 8m24s, every SPACE container at this commit.
    • smoke-kind-typed.sh all 65m55s: ECW 91/91 and native 42/42 passed, 0 failed or inconclusive, no reruns.
    • Includes ecw.cold_create_environment and local.telemetry_reaches_local_backends.
    • 6 console scenarios were skipped (no Playwright); 6 declared-ignored.

Not validated: an end-to-end Kind reproduction. Real nodes cannot publish a non-ASCII status, so only the Postgres test shows it.

Severity and risk

Severity: low. Fixes a collation-dependent disagreement on inputs no SPACE node produces.

Risk: a publisher sending a non-ASCII status no longer gets fail/episode handling where the collation folded it to failed. ASCII behaviour is pinned per statement. Rollback: revert; no migration or schema change.

Rollout

Nothing persisted or on the wire changes. published_lifecycle is built and read inside one internal-api process; nodes and protos are untouched. During a rolling deploy, old and new replicas are each self-consistent and differ only on non-ASCII statuses.

Not covered

Overlaps open #1399 (published_state.rs, sandbox_quarantine_store.rs, ingest.rs; no status-comparison changes), #1204 (status.rs, unchanged here) and #319 (common/core/src/types/sandbox.rs). Expect textual conflicts only.

AI assistance: Claude Code wrote the code, the tests and this description; a human chose the behaviour change.

Automatic approval withheld

Assessment Current risk Maximum for approval
Merge risk High Low

Why: Published status now determines whether several sandbox lifecycle transitions proceed. Although the intended non-ASCII refusal is narrow and tested on the failure path, these lifecycle-write guard changes warrant resolving the remaining merge risk before merging.

Commit: 9f10de57b42c.

Walkthrough

Published sandbox statuses are parsed into canonical lifecycle values or retained as trimmed unrecognized text. Publication, receipt validation, failure-episode handling, ingestion, lifecycle convergence, and quarantine recovery now use the parsed lifecycle. Database integration tests cover recognized ASCII case and whitespace variants, near misses, and unrecognized Unicode text.

Merge Risk: High · up to 9f10d

Published status now determines whether several sandbox lifecycle transitions proceed. Although the intended non-ASCII refusal is narrow and tested on the failure path, these lifecycle-write guard changes warrant resolving the remaining merge risk before merging.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to 9f10d

The change removes inconsistent status interpretation without an identified expansion of node privileges or cross-node access. Malformed status reports intentionally produce different outcomes, and mixed-version deployments can temporarily retain the old interpretation. Deployment behavior and authentication internals were not fully assessed.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The visible exposure is node-scoped rather than inherently tenant-scoped. Lifecycle predicates select sandboxes assigned to the authenticated node, while failure-episode predicates use the effective direct-route or active node. The change does not add a cluster-wide selector, but these predicates alone do not establish single-tenant containment.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The handler resolves an authenticated origin and passes origin.id into publication rather than directly granting authority from the request's node_id. Canonical status is derived after this boundary; it does not introduce another identity source or bypass receipt and lifecycle controls.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Activation completion retains a pre-existing concurrency limitation: active_node_id is checked through an unlocked statement-snapshot join and is not rechecked by the final sandbox update. The base-to-head change replaces the status predicate without altering this limitation; it is not an introduced PR concern.

Explanation

The description contains all required sections and content: “## Summary” explains the merge behavior; “## Validation” lists commands and results; “## Severity and risk” states low severity and the risk; and “AI assistance:” identifies Claude Code and the drafted parts.

Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test

Explanation

The pull request fixes application behavior under crates/. The Validation section names non_ascii_failed_spelling_is_unrecognized and states that it fails on main and passes with this fix. The test is present and included in published_state_tests; it verifies that FAİLED leaves the lifecycle unchanged, does not open a failure episode, and preserves the observed spelling.

Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified

Explanation

The diff does not weaken a safeguard covered by this check. It changes no CI, lint, allowlist, baseline, or test-configuration file. It adds unit and Postgres integration tests with assertions, and the only existing test change updates a fixture key from status to published_lifecycle to match the changed input contract. No test or assertion is removed or loosened.

Full details: Public-Safe Content

Explanation

The reviewed diff adds code and tests only. It contains no credentials, token values, private keys, internal URLs or hostnames, cloud account IDs or ARNs, personal workstation paths, production logs or measurements, incident details, or undisclosed security vulnerabilities. The title and description mention test and CI results, but they do not disclose prohibited private content.

Move the unit tests to the convention path published_status/tests.rs.

published_status.rs is loaded through #[path]. The conventions say a test declaration in such a host file must use #[path = "<host-stem>/tests.rs"]. The flat published_status_tests.rs layout is the legacy exception and must not be copied into new modules.
