sandbox-store: read a restore episode target beside the drain marker - #1679
Drain v2 will bring force-drained sandboxes back through its own restore operation, and will start an unplaced stopped sandbox from its recorded stop artifact. Both are restore episodes whose landing lifecycle isn't the default. Today only v1's marker, sandboxes.evacuation_restore_target, says that, and v2 must not write it. This PR makes every reader of the marker that asks either question read "marker or restore_episode_target" (the column the migration PR below this one adds), with the same meaning:
(a) is this restore the system's?
(b) which lifecycle does it land in?
Nothing sets the new column yet, so behaviour is unchanged.
Readers. In sandbox-store:
the transient sweeper's exemption, fail and unrestorable checks, and the restore target it hands each candidate (AgedTransientRow::restore_target);
the user restore and markerless lease claims;
the node's restoring→started and restoring→stopped convergences;
the markerless restoring recovery;
the drain's two age-outs;
the unplaced restore plan and the stopped disk source.
In portability: the source-release predicate and the drain gate. In the api: the Kubernetes restore gate's handling of a missed claim, the user restore observation, the stopped wake refusal, and the admin occupancy, node-group and runtime-environment reads.
Clears. There is no trigger. The target belongs to one restore episode: only the claim that moves a row into restoring may set it, and every statement that ends the episode, a revert included, clears it in its own SET:
commits and wake completions, and the post-action stamps;
the reverts, and the sweeper's fail, converge and revert;
the delete;
the drain's and lost-node give-ups;
the node's projections and the activation rollback;
the Direct restore lease and the Direct live-record adoption.
Type.EvacuationRestoreTarget types the target too (same three values, parsed like SandboxLifecycle).
Unchanged. Reads that serve only the v1 drain: its claims, redrive, backoff, gauges, and the suspending redrive arms. So is the activation rollback's retirement check: the rollback ends the episode, so a target doesn't stop it retiring the execution.
Validation
At this head:
ci/scripts/run-rust-checks.sh fmt and clippy: pass. cargo arch: 0 required findings.
New tests. One table-driven parity test per module. Each asserts that every target gives the same outcome held by the marker or by the target, and that the outcome differs from a no-target control for at least one target. Also:
a test that the restore claim's three reverts clear the target and land suspended;
a sweep of every episode-ending statement with the target set beforehand;
the CHECK tests.
All 17 new or changed tests take 0.11–0.29 s.
Mutations. 79 mutations, each killed by a test: each read term, each clear, both CHECKs, a revert that lands a stopped target in stopped (one per revert), and a retirement check that refuses the target or ignores the marker. At this head the 13 that the changed tests cover were rerun, the four drain-count ones also with only NodeCensusAware; the other 66 ran on an earlier push of this branch and weren't rerun. The fleet and single-node occupancy queries spell the marker twice, so those two mutations drop both copies.
Statement logs. The touched suites against a statement-logging Postgres before the migration and here, with the target-setting tests excluded: 4341 tests each side, twice per side. The only statement differences are the added terms, the clears and the migration's DDL, in 128 statements. Each runs the same number of times on both sides, except the restore waiters' polling read (observe_user_restores), which ran 103 or 104 times on either side.
CI's Rust tests at this head: pass.
Kind (local cluster, statement logging on): local.forced_drain_evacuates_sandbox, native.forced_drain_re_places_stopped_sandbox, local.concurrent_restore_converges_to_one_execution and local.suspend_restore_cross_node_from_object_storage all pass. The log shows 28 changed statements ran, among them the sweeper list, user and markerless claims, the ownership reads, a revert, the restore sources, the markerless recovery, the drain age-out and finalize, the ingest finalize, stopped convergence, completion receipt and census tombstone, the stamps, the delete, and both admin occupancy forms. Not reached on Kind: the sweeper's fail, converge and revert CASes, the gone-node and lost give-ups, the quarantine paths, the Direct statements, and the node-group and runtime-environment reads; Postgres tests cover each.
Severity and risk
Severity: does not apply (groundwork; inert until a producer sets the column).
Risk: with the column NULL, every added read is OR target IS NOT NULL, AND target IS NULL or OR target = 'stopped' on a NULL value, and every clear writes NULL over NULL. Roll back by reverting this PR; the column stays.
Stack
Stacked on #1678 (the migration), which is stacked on #1656; merge #1678 first. It also edits the admin occupancy, node-group and runtime-environment reads that #1673 moves into sandbox-store (admin_occupancy, runtime_population), so whichever of this PR and #1673 lands second carries the OR target terms into the moved statements.
#1399 adds a read of the marker to the suspended arm of release_completed_activations, the statement whose SET this PR adds the target clear to. This PR's edit and #1399's don't overlap, so no merge conflict will point at it: whichever lands second reads (sandbox.evacuation_restore_target IS NULL AND sandbox.restore_episode_target IS NULL) in that arm.
Not covered
Nothing re-drives a restoring row that holds a target, except a user's restore on Direct. The transient sweeper, the unrestorable sweep, the drain's age-outs, the markerless recovery and the Kubernetes user claims all skip it, and the drain's restore sweep selects only marked rows. Direct's restore claim ignores the target, so on Direct a user's restore takes such a row once its lease lapses and, when it succeeds, lands it started. The producer must ship its own re-drive and age-out with its first write, and, if it writes the target on Direct, make Direct's claim skip the row.
The sweeper's converge and revert CASes don't re-check the candidate list's exemption, as is already the case for the marker. A row that gains a target between the list and the CAS would be converged to started or reverted to suspended, losing its target, and the revert's undo puts the row back in restoring without it. Left for the producer PR to decide.
The producer: nothing sets the column yet. Before anything writes a value, every api, internal-api and cluster-controller image must run this change, because older ones read a targeted row as a user's restore. The producer can't keep retry backoff in restore_attempt_count or next_restore_attempt_at: v1's marker trigger resets both on any update of a row without the marker. The restore claim's reverts land suspended, so a claim from stopped must not be reverted through them until the producer decides how a failed stopped episode settles, as FreshFromStopped already isn't.
AI assistance: Claude Code made the change, ran the validation and drafted this description. A human reviews before merge.
Why: This change alters which sandbox restore rows the sweepers, drain, and claim logic act on. Behavior is unchanged while nothing writes the new column. Before a producer starts writing it, plan a way to recover or time out targeted restoring rows, and roll out the API, internal-api, and cluster-controller images together.
Commit: c82051ed80ab.
Walkthrough
The change makes restore_episode_target participate alongside evacuation_restore_target in restore ownership, lifecycle convergence, sweeper and drain decisions, snapshot selection, and occupancy queries. Operations that complete, fail, or revert restore-related work now clear the episode target, while retrying Direct lease release preserves it. The change also adds PostgreSQL-backed tests for target parsing, exclusivity, lifecycle behavior, restore claims, and API query results.

Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The target affects the owning sandbox's restore and snapshot decisions. Drain effects aggregate onto the relevant node, so a classification error could affect node release and failure containment beyond that single restore. The inspected predicates preserve sandbox correlation and explicit node attribution; they do not establish cross-tenant source selection.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The episode target becomes a durable system-ownership signal for Kubernetes restoring rows. User and markerless takeover predicates require both targets to be absent, while ownership observations and missed-claim handling carry the new target through to the API's system-versus-user classification.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
inferred — A targeted restoring row is exempt from the target-pinned drain blocker without an artifact-readiness check in that branch. Source selection separately checks artifact readiness and identity. Safe future activation therefore depends on the writer establishing the durable source before relying on this exemption; no such writer was available to verify that ordering.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Before enabling a non-null target writer, make substrate eligibility explicit, resolve Direct takeover behavior, and verify artifact-ready-and-pinned-before-release ordering. Validate populated-target compensation and mixed-version rollback, including whether an undo may revive a restore without its former target.

The node drain's v2 brings force-drained sandboxes back through a restore
operation of its own, and starts an unplaced stopped sandbox from its
recorded stop artifact. Both are restore episodes that land somewhere other
than the default lifecycle. Today only v1's marker,
`sandboxes.evacuation_restore_target`, says that, and v2 must not write it:
the v1 drain owns its claim, its backoff and its trigger.
The previous change adds `sandboxes.restore_episode_target` with CHECKs that
admit `started`, `paused` and `stopped` and refuse it beside the marker. Type
it as `EvacuationRestoreTarget`, which holds the same three values and parses
as `SandboxLifecycle` does.
Every reader of the marker that asks whether a restore is the system's, or
which lifecycle it lands in, now reads the marker or the target: the
transient sweeper's exemption, fail and unrestorable checks and the restore
target it hands each candidate, the user restore and markerless lease claims
and the API's handling of their misses, the node's restoring-to-started and
-to-stopped convergences, the markerless restoring recovery, the drain's
age-outs of a draining or gone node, the unplaced restore plan and the
stopped disk source, portability's source-release predicate and drain gate,
and the admin occupancy, node-group and runtime-environment reads. Reads of
the marker that serve only the v1 drain's own claim, redrive, backoff and
gauges are unchanged. So is the activation rollback's retirement check: the
rollback ends the episode.
There is no trigger for the target. It belongs to one restore episode: only
the claim that moves a row into `restoring` may set it, and every statement
that ends the episode, a revert included, clears it in its own SET: the
commits, wake completions and post-action stamps, the restore claim's
reverts, the sweeper's fail, converge and revert, the delete, the drain's
and lost node's give-ups, the node's projections, the activation rollback,
and Direct's restore lease and live-record adoption.
Behaviour-free while nothing sets the column, and nothing in production
does: every added read is `OR target IS NOT NULL`, `AND target IS NULL` or
`OR target = 'stopped'` on a NULL column, and every clear writes NULL over
NULL. Run against a statement-logging Postgres, the touched suites issue the
same statements before the migration and at this change, apart from those
terms, the clears and the migration's DDL, and each changed statement runs
as often on both sides, except the restore waiters' polling read, whose
count varies from run to run. Tests write the target directly.
Plan a re-drive path for Kubernetes restoring rows with a restore_episode_target before any producer writes the column.
Nothing writes the column in this PR, so behavior is unchanged today. The PR description and the doc comments in sweeper.rs, drain.rs and transient_lifecycle_sweeper/store.rs already state this limit.
Once a producer writes the target, a Kubernetes restoring row with a target is exempt from all of these:
evacuation_guards, which covers the aged-transient listing and fail_candidate_query.
abandon_stale_resident_sandboxes_query.
fail_resident_sandboxes_on_gone_node_query.
unrestorable_restoring_guards.
The user claim refuses such a row. Per the notes, nothing re-drives it except a user's restore on Direct.
Trigger: a restore whose owner dies on a gone node, after a producer sets the target. The row stays restoring with no age-out and no recovery.
Before the producer lands, add one of these:
A re-driver for targeted rows.
A bounded deadline for targeted rows, such as extending restoring_episode_overdue to cover them.

Closing: the combined drain v2 build no longer needs a separate restore episode target. Each system restore attempt now claims like a user restore, and drained stopped sandboxes wait for their next start, so nothing reads this column.
