Summary

RFC 0048 implementation, slice 2: identity keys as configuration (§3.2) — RFC0048.3.

  • visibility.identities.user_columns / agent_columns name the promoted columns whose values become user: / agent: principals in the emitter's tuples (participant + binding, actor + binding, unchanged mechanics). Unset lists take the semconv defaults — attr.user.hash, attr.enduser.pseudo.id / attr.gen_ai.agent.id, verified current against the OTel registry via the docs MCP — so a deployment that says nothing gets the same graph (RFC0047.10 unchanged).
  • Validation, each error naming the key: explicit empty list refused (omit for defaults), duplicates refused, self_principal_column must be one of user_columns, self_principal_column must be one of user_columns, and the object, self and every operator-listed identity column must be in the effective promoted set — a startup error, not an empty graph (defaulted lists are exempt: the RFC 0047 constants never required promotion).
  • Emitter: the hard-coded USER_KEYS/AGENT_KEY constants are gone; identity columns parse into the same log/resource column-key form as the conversation column (a resource.-family identity column reads resource attributes).
  • Config file: identities block with ${env:…} substitution; documented in the configuration guide.

Invariants / hazards

Hazard #1-adjacent (graph correctness): derivation semantics are unchanged — only which columns feed it becomes explicit configuration with the previous constants as defaults. Fail-closed posture preserved: misconfiguration is a startup error; off-object-id values are skipped exactly as before.

Tests

  • Emitter: custom columns mint principals, overridden defaults mint nothing, resource-family columns read resource attributes.
  • Core: defaults / empty / duplicate / self-outside-user_columns validation table.
  • Config: YAML parse + substitution; served binary: startup errors naming the key (3 arms).
  • fmt --check, clippy -D warnings, workspace tests all green locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added configurable user and agent identity columns for OpenFGA visibility.
    • Added defaults for identity columns when custom settings are not provided.
    • Added support for identity values from log and resource attributes.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved configuration validation for empty, duplicate, invalid, or unpromoted identity columns.
    • Startup now reports configuration errors before graph processing begins.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the configuration guide with identity-column settings.

visibility.identities.user_columns / agent_columns name the promoted
columns whose values become user:/agent: principals in the emitter's
tuples; unset lists take the semconv defaults (attr.user.hash +
attr.enduser.pseudo.id / attr.gen_ai.agent.id — verified current against
the OTel registry), so a deployment that says nothing gets the same
graph. Explicit empty or duplicated lists are refused naming the key;
self_principal_column must be one of user_columns; every graph-bound
column (object, identity, self) must be in the effective promoted set —
a startup error, not an empty graph. Scenario RFC0048.3.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

OpenFGA visibility now supports configurable user and agent identity columns. The server parses and validates these mappings, applies RFC 0048 defaults, and passes them to graph emission. Graph identities can come from log or resource attributes.

Changes

OpenFGA identity column configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Identity contract and validation
crates/ourios-core/src/auth/openfga/mod.rs
Adds IdentitiesSpec, RFC 0048 defaults, resolved-column accessors, explicit-configuration tracking, and validation for empty, duplicate, invalid, and inconsistent identity lists.
Server configuration and startup validation
crates/ourios-server/src/config/file.rs, crates/ourios-server/src/auth.rs, crates/ourios-server/src/main.rs, crates/ourios-server/tests/it/rfc0048_grammar.rs, docs/guides/configuration.md
Parses and substitutes identity lists, maps them into OpenFGA visibility settings, validates promoted columns before emitter creation, adds integration coverage, and documents the YAML settings.
Graph identity resolution
crates/ourios-ingester/src/graph_emitter.rs
Uses configurable ColumnKey values for conversation, user, and agent identities from log or resource attributes. Tests cover custom mappings, defaults, overridden defaults, and resource attributes.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bf7ae

Partial identity configuration can currently reject valid deployments at startup because the unset identity list is still validated against its defaults; the documentation also needs clearer validation guidance. The PR should not merge until the validation behavior is corrected and the documentation is built and verified.

Pull request overview

Implements RFC 0048 slice 2 by making OpenFGA graph identity keys configurable, while preserving the existing tuple-derivation semantics and introducing fail-closed startup validation when graph-bound columns aren’t in the effective promoted set.

Changes:

  • Adds visibility.identities.{user_columns,agent_columns} configuration (with semconv defaults) and wires it through server config → core OpenFGA config → ingester graph emitter.
  • Introduces startup validation ensuring object/identity/self columns are in the effective promoted set, producing key-named errors instead of silently yielding an empty graph.
  • Updates docs and expands tests to cover identity configuration, substitution, and startup error arms.

…s only

The semconv defaults are the RFC 0047 constants and never required
promotion (the emitter reads record attributes, not the projection);
enforcing the check on a defaulted list made every deployment that does
not promote enduser.pseudo.id / gen_ai.agent.id fail startup — the
container suite included. identities_configured on VisibilityConfig
scopes the check to operator-listed columns (RFC 0048 §3.2 'every listed
column').

  • The configuration example now implies identities columns must be ‘promoted columns’, but it doesn’t mention that these also need to be present in storage.promoted_attributes (otherwise the server will fail startup once OpenFGA visibility is enabled). Adding an explicit note here would prevent a confusing misconfiguration for operators.
      # Optional (RFC 0048 §3.2). Which promoted columns carry the
      # principals in a conversation; omitted lists take the semconv
      # defaults shown here. Every entry must be a promoted column, and
      # self_principal_column must be one of user_columns.

  • identities_configured() is a single boolean (true if either user_columns or agent_columns was explicitly set), but validate_graph_columns() uses it to gate validation of both visibility.user_columns() and visibility.agent_columns(). This means a partial configuration (e.g. operator sets only user_columns and leaves agent_columns unset) will still require the default agent identity columns to be present in storage.promoted_attributes, contradicting the stated rule that defaulted identity lists are exempt from the promoted-set startup check.
    if visibility.identities_configured() {
        for column in visibility.user_columns() {
            check("identities.user_columns", column)?;
        }
        for column in visibility.agent_columns() {
            check("identities.agent_columns", column)?;
        }

- Around line 620-623: Update the identity configuration state near
validate_graph_columns to track user_columns and agent_columns independently
instead of using one combined identities_configured flag. Ensure partial
overrides validate only the explicitly configured identity list while preserving
defaults for the other list, and add regression coverage for user-only and
agent-only configurations.

In `@docs/guides/configuration.md`:
- Around line 86-92: Update the identities configuration documentation to
clarify that omitted user_columns and agent_columns use semconv defaults and are
exempt from promoted-column validation, while explicitly configured entries must
be promoted columns; document that self_principal_column, when set, must be
promoted and included in user_columns. Build the documentation with mdbook build

  • The configuration guide describes defaults and the promoted-column requirement, but it doesn’t mention that explicitly empty identities.*_columns lists (and duplicates) are rejected. Without this, an operator may reasonably try user_columns: [] to disable principals and only learn via a startup error.

Consider documenting the "empty list is invalid; omit for defaults" and "duplicates are invalid" rules alongside the existing comment.

      # principals in a conversation. An omitted list takes the semconv
      # default shown here and is exempt from the promoted-column check;
      # every EXPLICITLY listed entry must be a promoted column (startup
      # error otherwise). self_principal_column, when set, must be a
      # promoted column AND one of user_columns.
