Summary

upsert_k8s_node_role registers a Kubernetes node: it checks the tombstone, upserts nodes, clears drain state when the Kubernetes Node UID changed, upserts node_k8s, and re-checks the tombstone. A follow-up moves it unchanged into a store verb, and several of these behaviours had no test that would fail if the move changed them. This PR adds and widens tests only; no production code changes.

  • The drain-state tests (clear on a UID change, keep on an unchanged UID) now sweep every drain phase plus a node with no phase but a leftover drain error, seed the drain columns first, and check the reported change. The UID-change test also keeps a control node in the same drain state and checks that the replaced node's node_k8s.updated_at moves while the control's does not.
  • The same-UID test also keeps its original partial shape: a terminating node with only its phase and start time set, drain_mode and drain_last_error NULL. A same-UID re-registration must leave all four columns as they were and report no change.
  • The canonical-role test registers one Kubernetes Node under every role.
  • The tombstone refusal runs the store entry of every registration caller (node sync, the admin inventory listing and pod placement) and checks the error, its message and that nothing is written.
  • A new module tables every existing node state against every state write, including insert-only writes that change the address. It also races an admin terminate that commits while a registration waits on the node row: every caller must fail and leave neither the node rows nor pod placement's writes behind. The race tests wait on the backend that holds the lock, not on the waiting statement's SQL text.

Validation

At this head, on a Linux build host:

  • pplx-space-api tests at CI's test profile (opt-level 0), with Postgres and Redis running: 2561 run, 2561 passed, 0 skipped; each changed test takes under 0.2 s.
  • Mutation check: each production mutation below, applied alone, fails a test this PR adds or widens.
    • The drain clear also requiring drain_phase IS DISTINCT FROM 'drained': fails upsert_clears_drain_state_when_k8s_node_uid_changes.
    • The drain clear keeping drain_last_error: fails upsert_clears_drain_state_when_k8s_node_uid_changes.
    • The upsert always reporting a change: fails upsert_preserves_drain_state_when_k8s_node_uid_unchanged and only_a_managed_state_write_overwrites_an_existing_node_state.
    • Binding one fixed role in the nodes upsert: fails persist_k8s_node_inventory_stores_canonical_role.
    • Dropping the managed state-write clause (OR ($5 AND nodes.state IS DISTINCT FROM EXCLUDED.state)): fails only_a_managed_state_write_overwrites_an_existing_node_state.
    • The drain clear no longer comparing the stored UID: fails upsert_preserves_drain_state_when_k8s_node_uid_unchanged and only_a_managed_state_write_overwrites_an_existing_node_state.
    • Skipping the tombstone re-check after the upsert: fails tombstone_committed_mid_registration_rolls_back_every_caller.
    • Rewording both tombstone messages so neither says "tombstoned": fails node_registration_refuses_when_tombstoned and tombstone_committed_mid_registration_rolls_back_every_caller.
    • Letting an insert-only write overwrite an existing state (state = EXCLUDED.state): fails only_a_managed_state_write_overwrites_an_existing_node_state.
    • Dropping the node_k8s.updated_at refresh: fails upsert_clears_drain_state_when_k8s_node_uid_changes.
    • The drain clear also requiring drain_phase IS NOT NULL: fails upsert_clears_drain_state_when_k8s_node_uid_changes.
  • fmt, workspace clippy and cargo arch pass.
  • The full test inventory, both groups, at this PR's previous head (since then only these tests changed): every pplx-space-api test passed. 47 tests in 8 other crates failed on that host because its container blocks the process, namespace and cgroup operations they need; all 47 fail the same way on the base commit. CI on this head is the authoritative full run.

Kind smoke was not run: the change is tests only.

Severity and risk

Severity: does not apply; tests only.

Risk: none for production. The tests use synthetic names and addresses and their own rows.

AI assistance: Claude Code wrote the tests, ran the validation and drafted this description. A human reviews before merge.

Walkthrough

The PostgreSQL test suite covers registration lifecycle writes, tombstone handling across three registration callers, and node inventory behavior across roles and drain states. The concurrent termination test checks for a lock wait by backend PID and verifies that registration leaves no rows after a tombstone is committed.

upsert_k8s_node_role is about to move into a store verb unchanged, and
several things it does today had no test that would fail if the move
changed them. Clearing drain state on a Kubernetes Node UID change was
checked for one drain phase with no other node present; keeping it on an
unchanged UID was checked for one phase and one column. Nothing covered a
managed state write that changes only `state`, an insert-only write that
changes a `registered` node's address, the `node_k8s.updated_at` refresh
on a UID change, the tombstone refusal for the inventory listing and pod
placement, the tombstone re-check after the upsert, or the role stored for
each node role.

The two drain tests now sweep every drain phase plus a node with no phase
but a leftover drain error, seed the drain columns first, and check the
reported change. The UID-change test also keeps a control node in the
same drain state, and checks that the replaced node's
`node_k8s.updated_at` moves while the control's does not. The
canonical-role test registers one Kubernetes Node under every role. The
tombstone refusal test runs every registration caller's store entry and
checks the error, its message and that nothing is written. A new test
module adds a table of every existing state against every state write,
including insert-only writes that change the address, and a race in which
an admin terminate commits while a registration waits on the node row:
for each caller the registration must fail and leave neither the node
rows nor pod placement's writes behind. The race tests wait on the
backend that holds the lock, not on the waiting statement's SQL text, so
a move that rewrites the SQL does not break them.

Only test files change, so no production path behaves differently.
The same-UID registration test now seeds every drain column for each
drain phase. Before, it seeded a terminating node with only its phase and
start time set, leaving drain_mode and drain_last_error NULL, and that
shape was no longer covered. Add it back beside the sweep: a same-UID
re-registration must leave all four columns as they were and report no
change.

Only test files change.
…tests

pplx-space-common-svc is gone; the node id helper lives in
pplx-space-k8s-node-id. Only a test import changes.

Test node sync’s state-write choice.

If node sync changes to InsertOnly, an existing registered node can stay registered after becoming ready. The new tests still supply Manage directly. Extend the existing node-sync test to assert that its registered builder becomes ready.

The drain-state seed helper checked only that each column was set, so a
seed that stored another phase, mode or error would still have passed.
It now checks every seeded column's exact value.

Test tombstone handling through node sync.

The NodeSync case calls the store directly, so it cannot detect a regression that aborts sync on NodeTombstoned. Add a sync scenario with a tombstoned node followed by a healthy node. Assert that sync succeeds, skips the tombstoned node, and registers the healthy node.
