[sbx-mgr] record runtime upgrade outcomes per attempt id in the store - #1754
The store half of per-attempt runtime upgrade finality: two sandbox-manager migrations and the store functions that record and read each attempt's outcome, keyed by (operation_id, attempt_id). Sandbox-manager now records the attempt every UpgradeRuntime runs as: the request's attempt_id, or an id it generates when the request names none. Nothing reads the records back on the wire until the next pull request, and no caller's behavior changes beyond the migrations.
Terms
Attempt id: the opaque id an UpgradeRuntime call runs as (UpgradeRuntimeRequest.attempt_id). The caller keeps it across retries of one attempt and picks a new one for a replacement attempt; a Kubernetes substrate derives it from the pod UID. The node generates one when the request names none.
Outcome: what an operation ended in, in sandbox_runtime_upgrade_outcomes: rolled back, already on target, or, new here, refused.
Attempt outcome: an attempt's final outcome, in sandbox_runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcomes, at most one per attempt: rolled back, refused before the fence, or activation refused.
Activation refused: a started target's call that failed after the operation reached its target, for example because the sandbox runs another attempt's execution.
The problem
A caller retries a failed UpgradeRuntime under the same attempt id, and the store kept only the operation's latest outcome, with no attempt. Nothing could tell one attempt's rollback from another's, and nothing could answer an attempt's retry with that attempt's own outcome. The next pull request makes rollbacks and refusals final per attempt; it needs the store to record them per attempt first.
How this fixes it
20261113200001_sandbox_runtime_upgrade_attempt_id: a nullable attempt_id on sandbox_runtime_upgrades and sandbox_runtime_upgrade_outcomes. Only rows written before it read as naming no attempt.
20261113200002_sandbox_runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcomes: each attempt's final outcome (rolled_back, refused or activation_refused), keyed by operation and attempt id. The key gives an attempt one final outcome, and a later attempt's outcome never erases an earlier attempt's.
Store writers (crates/l30_storage/sbx/mgr/store/src/db/runtime_upgrades.rs), each taking the attempt id:
begin_runtime_upgrade and record_runtime_upgrade_already_on_target record the attempt. An already-on-target outcome keeps naming the attempt that first found the target; a replay under another attempt id leaves it.
finish_runtime_upgrade_rollback also records the rollback as the attempt's outcome.
record_runtime_upgrade_refusal records a refused outcome. It replaces an earlier attempt's rollback or refusal under the same request, but never an already-on-target outcome, a live row, or another request's outcome.
record_runtime_upgrade_refused_attempt records an activation_refused outcome only once the operation reached its target for that sandbox: its live row is retired, or it has no live row and an already-on-target outcome.
An attempt that already has a final outcome keeps it: a second rollback, refusal or already-on-target record for it leaves both its outcome and the operation's as they were, in the same statement or transaction.
new_runtime_upgrade_attempt_id generates a fresh id (a UUIDv7).
Readers: read::runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcome is the one answer to whether an attempt is final. The report names the attempt of its outcome and the operation's latest activation-refused attempt, ordered by insertion, since attempt-outcome rows are never rewritten.
Sandbox-manager (crates/l40_api/sbx/mgr/server/src/service/runtime_upgrade.rs): UpgradeRuntime runs as the request's attempt_id, or a generated one when it names none; an empty one is INVALID_ARGUMENT. A Wake names no attempt, so its upgrade runs as a fresh, generated one. The fence and the already-on-target record both write that id.
Deleting a sandbox deletes its attempt-outcome rows (delete_sandbox_child_rows). The eighth pull request of this stack keeps them instead.
db/README.md: a section on these migrations' guarded downs, with the read-only query that tells whether a node can still roll back.
Validation
Store runtime_upgrades::tests:
the_report_names_the_attempt_each_outcome_was_recorded_for: the attempt each outcome names, and that a refusal is refused for another target state, target, authorization or sandbox.
each_attempts_rollback_or_refusal_is_kept_for_that_attempt: each attempt keeps its first rollback or refusal; a second rollback or refusal for a settled attempt leaves both its outcome and the report unchanged; and a live row written before attempts were recorded adds none.
a_refused_attempt_is_recorded_only_for_an_operation_that_reached_its_target: an activation_refused outcome is recorded only for a retired upgrade, or an already-on-target outcome of the same sandbox with no live row. An attempt that already has a final outcome, a rollback included, keeps it, and each operation reports its own latest activation-refused attempt.
Sandbox-manager runtime_upgrade::tests:
requests_are_parsed_strictly: an UpgradeRuntime that names no attempt gets a node-generated id, unique per request; a named one is kept; an empty one, or one over 256 bytes, is INVALID_ARGUMENT.
an_upgrade_records_the_attempt_it_ran_as: the report names the attempt the upgrade ran as.
pplx-space-db-migratetests:
runtime_upgrade_migrations_follow_their_predecessors_and_round_trip: the two follow 20261113190000, the newest sandbox-manager migration before them, sit next to each other, revert newest first, and round-trip up, down and up twice.
runtime_upgrade_downs_refuse_while_a_row_an_older_release_misreads_is_recorded: each down refuses while its guarded row is recorded, stays applied, and goes through once the row is gone. A rolled_back outcome doesn't hold back the attempt id's down.
suspend_attempt_rollback_preserves_ownership_and_migration_history now steps back past every newer migration, 20261113190000 among them, before it tests 20261112160000's own down.
Each new guard and each attempt-id path was mutated, one at a time. Every mutant fails a test except one: the new delete in delete_sandbox_child_rows is covered by ON DELETE CASCADE, and is registered there as the store's AGENTS.md requires.
ci/scripts/run-rust-checks.sh clippy, tests-unprivileged and tests-privileged on a Linux build box:
Clippy, doctests, the M1 SDK check and feature isolation pass.
Nextest: all 12975 unprivileged and 72 of 78 privileged pass. All six failures are in crates this doesn't touch, and all come from the box: three need fs-verity, which its kernel lacks; two reject the box's non-root-owned path ancestors; and one needs a private cgroup namespace.
Not validated: a Kind smoke at this head before CI runs it.
Dependencies
PR #1753, the split below this one and its stacked base, now on main. This merges after it.
Rollout
A sandbox-manager from this release applies the two migrations at startup, and an older one refuses a database whose history holds a version it doesn't bundle, so a rollback build keeps them, as db/README.md requires.
The down migrations are guarded:
20261113200002's refuses while any attempt's outcome is recorded.
20261113200001's refuses while a refused outcome is recorded, since an older release can't parse one.
Every rollback now records its attempt's outcome, and those rows are deleted only with their sandbox, so once a node has rolled back an upgrade, a schema rollback waits until that sandbox is deleted. 20261113200001's down drops the attempt id of a live upgrade row without a guard; that upgrade then behaves as it does on a release without per-attempt finality.
Severity: does not apply on its own; it's the storage the next pull request needs.
Risk: low. The migrations only add a nullable column and two tables, and nothing reads the new records on the wire until the next pull request. A binary rollback keeps the schema, and an older binary never reads the new tables. Roll back the code by reverting; the schema stays.

Walkthrough
Runtime-upgrade requests now carry an attempt ID, which is generated when omitted and validated when supplied. Storage records rollback and refusal outcomes per attempt, includes attempt data in reports, and deletes attempt history with the sandbox. The changes add migrations for attempt IDs and outcome history, with down migrations that guard against removing recorded data. Tests cover request parsing, outcome recording and reporting, migration rollback, and reapplication.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 6c445
This PR adds storage for per-attempt runtime-upgrade outcomes and passes attempt IDs through requests. The store does not yet stop a retry that reuses a finalized attempt ID from fencing again; the author defers that enforcement to the follow-up PR #1755. Merging as a storage-only step is reasonable, provided the follow-up is tracked and enforcement lands before retries rely on these records.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 6c445
The new history is protected against loss, but a failed upgrade can prevent reverting a node to an older release while the affected sandbox remains. Existing caller permissions and operation-identity checks are preserved.
Retained concerns
Low · reliability · observed: An ordinary upgrade rollback now creates history that blocks schema downgrade for the entire node, not just that sandbox. An older binary lacking the migrations fails closed against that database. This is a documented compatibility tradeoff rather than an authorization bypass, but incident rollback must retain a migration-aware release or wait for cleanup of all blocking sandboxes.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated cross-sandbox consequence is node-local downgrade availability: one authorized upgrade that rolls back can leave history blocking downgrade of the shared database. The evidence does not establish anonymous reachability, additional execution privileges, or exposure across nodes.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Caller-selected IDs pass bounded validation and parameterized writes rather than becoming SQL or credentials. Refusal recording checks sandbox existence, absence of a live operation, matching request identity on replacement, and absence of an existing attempt outcome within one transaction.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The history's primary key prevents multiple final records for an operation-attempt pair. Both the foreign-key cascade and explicit sandbox-child cleanup tie its lifecycle to sandbox deletion, avoiding detached records that would otherwise indefinitely block downgrade after supported cleanup.

Full details: Description Follows The Pr Template
Explanation
The PR description (PR #1754) contains all four required items, each with real content: 1. "## Summary": present. It states that the change adds the store half of per-attempt runtime upgrade finality: two migrations and the store functions that record and read each attempt's outcome, keyed by (operation_id, attempt_id). 2. "## Validation": present. It names the store, sandbox-manager, and migration tests, the mutation runs, and the ci/scripts/run-rust-checks.sh results (clippy, doctests, and feature isolation passing; nextest 12975/12975 unprivileged and 72/78 privileged).

"AI assistance:" line: present. It reads "AI assistance: Claude Code drafted the code, tests and this description." Only presence was judged, as the check requires. The check does not fail on any of these items. This verdict rests on the provided PR description. I did not run repository tools, because the check concerns description content and the description was supplied in full.
Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
Explanation
The check applies only when the PR fixes a defect in application behavior under crates/, shim/, or ui/. This PR does not fit that condition. - The title is "[sbx-mgr] record runtime upgrade outcomes per attempt id in the store". It does not describe a fix. - The description calls the change "the store half of per-attempt runtime upgrade finality". It adds two migrations, a new attempt-outcome table, new writer and reader functions, and a generated attempt ID. - The "Severity and risk" section says severity "does not apply on its own; it's the storage the next pull request needs." - The "Problem" section describes a missing capability: the store keeps only the operation's latest outcome. It does not describe a defect that users hit in current behavior. The change is a feature or storage addition, so the check passes. Even if the change were treated as a fix, the Validation section names tests for the new behavior. It also reports that each new guard and attempt-ID path was mutated, and that every mutant but one fails a test. That evidence would satisfy the regression-test condition.
Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
Explanation
No weakened safeguard found in the PR range (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head, 22 files). Checks run: - Added suppressions, skips and ignores: none. The only added attributes are #[test], #[tokio::test] and #[derive(...)]. No #[allow], #[expect], #[ignore], skip or xfail. - CI, lint, allowlist and guard files: none changed. Nothing touched .config/, ci/, .github/, deny.toml, clippy.toml, Cargo.toml[lints], ARCHITECTURE.toml, the baseline files, or .gitleaks.toml. The one Cargo.toml edit adds a table name to the store's SQLite state list. - Governance docs: no edits to AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, .agents/ or docs/rust/. The db/README.md section covers migration guards and says nothing about reviews, risk ratings or approvals. The "Risk: low" and "Severity" wording lives only in the PR description, which is not one of the governed files. - Removed lines: the full removed-line list has no deleted test, no deleted assertion without a replacement, and no removed lint or CI step. - In runtime_upgrades/tests.rs, four assert!(...record_runtime_upgrade_already_on_target(...)) lines were rewritten to pass a new attempt_id argument. The asserted results are unchanged. - In db/migrate/src/tests.rs, suspend_attempt_rollback_preserves_ownership_and_migration_history used to roll back one migration. It now rolls back every newer up migration before it runs the same assertions. That broadens the setup and keeps the assertions, so it is not a weakening. - The other removed lines are SQL, signature, and code-path refactors in production code. - New tests: the diff adds tests and assertions (for example runtime_upgrade_migrations_follow_their_predecessors_and_round_trip). It does not remove any. No item in the check's failure list is present, so there are no findings to list by file and line.
Full details: Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands
Explanation
The check applies to agent plugin manifests, skills, command files, and guideline files that agent tools run or that start processes. The PR's changed-file inventory (git diff --name-status over the review range) has no plugin manifest (plugin.json, plugin.yaml), no SKILL.md, no command or skill file, and no agent config. The only guideline-style file touched is db/README.md (+19 lines). Its added content is prose plus one fenced ```sql block containing a read-only SELECT. Per the check, fenced code and prose in guideline files pass. A search of all added lines for inline shell substitutions (! followed by a backtick command), hooks, MCP, LSP, `allowed-tools`, or plugin/skill entries returned no matches. The remaining changes are Rust source, Rust tests, and SQL migrations. None of these is an agent-run artifact covered by the check. No content in the diff adds or changes an agent-run entry.
Full details: Public-Safe Content
Explanation
The Public-safe content check passes. I scanned every added line in the reviewed range (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base to head, 16 changed files, about 1,300 added lines) for the listed sensitive categories. - Credentials, tokens, private keys: no matches for password, secret, token, API key, private-key headers, AWS key prefixes, GitHub or OpenAI-style token prefixes, or bearer or credential strings. - Internal hosts and URLs: no http(s):// URLs and no internal or corporate domain patterns in the added lines. The db/README.md section adds a read-only SQL query and no links. - Cloud IDs and ARNs: no 12-digit account-number patterns and no arn: strings. - Cluster and environment names: no matches for cluster, production, prod, staging, customer, or tenant. The Kubernetes mention is generic. - Personal absolute paths: no /Users/ or /home/ paths in the added lines. - Production logs, measurements, or incidents: no matches for incident, CVE, or vulnerability wording. The test and validation text describes synthetic fixtures and the author's CI run counts. - Unfixed vulnerability descriptions: the migration comments and README describe rollback guards and retry semantics. They do not describe an undisclosed security flaw. The PR title and description contain no links to private trackers, chats, or documents. They refer only to PR numbers (#1753, #1754, #1755) in the same public repository, and they mention a generic "Linux build box" without a hostname.

Persist the pod named by UpgradeRuntime.
If request.start.route_identity names a pod, this call still stores pod_uid: None. The already-on-target call at Line 603 also passes None. A later rollback therefore creates no per-pod outcome, and neither stored result can identify the requesting pod. Pass the request’s pod UID to both writers and cover a pod-bearing RPC request. The PR description says this wiring is planned for #1755; it is absent from this revision. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Include pod identity in the runtime-upgrade response.
If the store reports Refused for pod A, this branch returns the failure without report.pod_uid. The response also omits report.refused_pod when an upgraded or already-on-target operation refused a pod’s create. A caller cannot match either failure to the pod it is waiting for. Copy pod_uid, refused_pod_uid, and refused_pod_failure from the report, and test a response backed by a named-pod record. The PR description acknowledges that the pod-field mapping is deferred to #1755. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Do not fence a pod with a final outcome.
If (operation_id, pod_uid) already has a rollback or refusal, begin_runtime_upgrade still inserts a new fence for that pod. The new each_pods_rollback_or_refusal_is_kept_for_that_pod test demonstrates a second rollback for pod-a; retaining its first history row does not prevent the second upgrade attempt. Check the per-pod final outcome before inserting the fence, and return it without booting. Ensure the service performs that check before staging work. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Thanks. All three additional comments describe the next split, PR #1755, which this one is the storage for. No change here:
Persist the pod named by UpgradeRuntime (runtime_upgrade.rs): this pull request adds the columns and writers but passes no pod yet, as its Summary says. PR [sbx-mgr] make a runtime upgrade rollback or refusal final for its attempt #1755 passes request.pod_uid() to begin_runtime_upgrade and record_runtime_upgrade_already_on_target.
Do not fence a pod with a final outcome (runtime_upgrades.rs): PR [sbx-mgr] make a runtime upgrade rollback or refusal final for its attempt #1755 enforces per-pod finality in the service. refuse_settled_for_pod answers a pod with its own recorded rollback or refusal before anything stages or fences, under the sandbox's upgrade guard. The store test's second rollback for pod-a drives the store directly to show the pod's history keeps its first outcome.
Following my comment on #1753, could we carry an opaque attempt_id through the storage layer too, including the columns, tables, and store APIs?
Sandbox-manager needs to retain outcomes by (operation_id, attempt_id), with the same ID across retries and a new ID for a replacement attempt. The Kubernetes substrate can derive that ID from the pod UID and own the mapping in the cluster/shim. Keeping the stored contract about attempts would let sbxmgr enforce finality without knowing about pods or their lifecycle.

[Blocking] This table and sandbox_runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcomes (170003) store the same fact with the same key: the final outcome of (operation_id, attempt_id), with sandbox_id, failure and recorded_at. The only difference is which phase refused (before the fence vs. after the operation reached its target), and that is just one more outcome value. Splitting it leaves 'is this attempt final?' with two authorities. In #1755/#1756, refuse_final_attempt checks runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcome and then runtime_upgrade_refused_attempt, and GetRuntimeUpgrade reads both in its own order. Nothing in the store stops one attempt from getting a row in each. The precedence rule lives in the service, and every new reader has to repeat it. Two tables also mean two migrations, two down guards and two cascade deletes. Fix: drop 170002, and record the after-target refusal in sandbox_runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcomes with its own outcome value, e.g. activation_refused. Keep the same insert-once guard (ON CONFLICT (operation_id, attempt_id) DO NOTHING plus the retired/already-on-target predicate). latest_refused_attempt becomes ... WHERE operation_id = ?1 AND outcome = 'activation_refused' ORDER BY rowid DESC LIMIT 1. The one-final-outcome-per-attempt invariant then comes from the primary key, not from the service's ordering.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
[Should fix] A rollback or pre-fence refusal is now written twice: to the attempt's row in sandbox_runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcomes, and as the operation's outcome/failure/attempt_id in sandbox_runtime_upgrade_outcomes. The two copies follow different conflict rules. The attempt row uses DO NOTHING, keeping the first. The operation row uses DO UPDATE, keeping the latest. So when an attempt that already settled is recorded again, the copies disagree, and the attempt-less report names that attempt with a different status and failure than its retries get. The description's Not covered section says this. The store test that rolls back attempt-a twice also produces it, through finish_runtime_upgrade_rollback. The store should not depend on a doc-comment precondition to keep its own two copies consistent. Fix: in the same transaction, in both record_runtime_upgrade_refusal and finish_runtime_upgrade_rollback, leave the operation's outcome row alone (return false) when sandbox_runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcomes already holds (operation_id, attempt_id). Or derive the operation's latest rollback/refusal from the attempt table and keep sandbox_runtime_upgrade_outcomes for already-on-target and its activation claim. Either way there is one writer of truth per attempt. Add a store test showing that a second record for a settled attempt leaves the report unchanged.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
[Consider] The new refused value in sandbox_runtime_upgrade_outcomes.outcome is the only reason this migration needs a down guard: an older release can't parse that value. The per-attempt table already records every refusal, and #1755's attempt-scoped GetRuntimeUpgrade reads it from there. If the refusal lived only in the per-attempt table, and the attempt-less report were built from it as in the previous finding, this migration would be a plain nullable column with an unguarded down. The operation's outcome table would also keep its original two-value vocabulary. Fix: don't widen outcome. Keep refusals in sandbox_runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcomes, and have runtime_upgrade_report fall back to the latest attempt row when there's no live row and no operation outcome.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
[Question] This down refuses while any attempt outcome exists, and every rollback now writes one. The description says a later PR in the stack keeps these rows when the sandbox is deleted, instead of cascading. So any node that has ever rolled back an upgrade can never revert this schema. Is that the intended rollback story? If so, db/README.md's rollout notes for this stack should say the schema is forward-only once a rollback happens. If not, how are these rows retired? The answer also shows how expensive it is to settle the two-table split from the Blocking finding after this ships.

Summary
The store half of per-attempt runtime upgrade finality: two sandbox-manager migrations and the store functions that record and read each attempt's outcome, keyed by
(operation_id, attempt_id). Sandbox-manager now records the attempt everyUpgradeRuntimeruns as: the request'sattempt_id, or an id it generates when the request names none. Nothing reads the records back on the wire until the next pull request, and no caller's behavior changes beyond the migrations.Terms
UpgradeRuntimecall runs as (UpgradeRuntimeRequest.attempt_id). The caller keeps it across retries of one attempt and picks a new one for a replacement attempt; a Kubernetes substrate derives it from the pod UID. The node generates one when the request names none.sandbox_runtime_upgrade_outcomes: rolled back, already on target, or, new here, refused.sandbox_runtime_upgrade_attempt_outcomes, at most one per attempt: rolled back, refused before the fence, or activation refused.The problem
A caller retries a failed
UpgradeRuntimeunder the same attempt id, and the store kept only the operation's latest outcome, with no attempt. Nothing could tell one attempt's rollback from another's, and nothing could answer an attempt's retry with that attempt's own outcome. The next pull request makes rollbacks and refusals final per attempt; it needs the store to record them per attempt first.How this fixes it

Dependencies
PR #1753, the split below this one and its stacked base, now on main. This merges after it.
Rollout
A sandbox-manager from this release applies the two migrations at startup, and an older one refuses a database whose history holds a version it doesn't bundle, so a rollback build keeps them, as
db/README.mdrequires.The down migrations are guarded:
20261113200002's refuses while any attempt's outcome is recorded.20261113200001's refuses while arefusedoutcome is recorded, since an older release can't parse one.Every rollback now records its attempt's outcome, and those rows are deleted only with their sandbox, so once a node has rolled back an upgrade, a schema rollback waits until that sandbox is deleted.
20261113200001's down drops the attempt id of a live upgrade row without a guard; that upgrade then behaves as it does on a release without per-attempt finality.Not covered
UpgradeRuntimeandGetRuntimeUpgradedon't put the attempt fields on the wire. PR [sbx-mgr] make a runtime upgrade rollback or refusal final for its attempt #1755, the next split, adds both.Severity and risk
Severity: does not apply on its own; it's the storage the next pull request needs.
Risk: low. The migrations only add a nullable column and two tables, and nothing reads the new records on the wire until the next pull request. A binary rollback keeps the schema, and an older binary never reads the new tables. Roll back the code by reverting; the schema stays.
