[cr-test] sandbox-store: detach snapshot storage before pruning a tombstone so one row can't stall retention - #1544
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 can now delete previously blocked tombstones and defer storage cleanup to the sweeper. Treat this deletion-lifecycle change as high risk before merging.
Commit: 4a008ff4560d.
Walkthrough
The pruning query now materializes candidate sandboxes and detaches their snapshot storage locations before deleting the sandboxes. It clears each location’s snapshot_id and sets orphaned_at. A PostgreSQL test checks that pruning removes two expired sandboxes and leaves the attached location detached and orphaned.

observed — Modified behavior in crates/libs/cluster/controller/server/src/tombstone_retention/tests.rs: Adds a PostgreSQL test that creates two sandboxes and publishes a ready disk artifact with an attached storage location on the first sandbox.
observed — Modified behavior in crates/libs/cluster/controller/server/src/tombstone_retention/tests.rs: After the artifact fixture updates the pinned sandbox’s timestamp, resets updated_at to eight days ago so it remains past the seven-day retention threshold.

Explanation
The PR fixes an application defect under crates/. Its Validation section names tombstone_retention::tests::store_prunes_deleted_sandbox_with_attached_storage_location_in_same_batch and states that it fails without the fix with 23503 and passes with the fix. The diff adds that regression test and exercises an expired tombstone with an attached storage location.

Explanation
The diff does not remove, disable, narrow, or weaken a test, assertion, lint, CI check, or repository guard. It adds a regression test and changes the prune SQL to detach storage locations before deletion. No safeguard exception or skipped-check entry was added.
Full details: Public-Safe Content
Explanation
The changed files contain no credentials, private keys, internal hostnames, private links, cloud account IDs, personal absolute paths, or production logs. The only URI is the clearly synthetic test value s3://snapshots/tombstone-with-location. The title and description contain no disallowed public-safety content.
Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title starts with a bracketed tag "[cr-test]" followed by "sandbox-store:" and a lowercase summary. The title names the area (sandbox-store) and the main change: detaching snapshot storage before pruning a tombstone. It does not meet the required format. The required format is the lowercase area followed by a colon, or the area in square brackets, and no other prefix. The extra "[cr-test]" tag is an extra prefix, so the title does not match the configured pattern exactly.
Resolution
Remove the "[cr-test]" prefix so the title starts with the area and a colon. For example: "sandbox-store: detach snapshot storage before pruning a tombstone so one row can't stall retention". Keep the summary starting with a lowercase word and do not add a trailing period.

Cover a second snapshot and location in the prune regression test.
The fixture attaches one location to one snapshot. Production detaches the locations of every snapshot of every candidate. A regression that detaches only one snapshot per sandbox would still pass this test. One remaining attached location fails the whole DELETE batch on the ON DELETE RESTRICT foreign key, which is the failure this change fixes.
Add a second snapshot for sandboxes[0] with its own storage location. The unique index on snapshot_id permits one location per snapshot. Assert that both locations are detached and orphaned.
