AI Design Review: EP-231Score: 8/8 | Verdict: PASS
Verdict: An exceptionally thorough design document (913 lines) that provides deep technical detail on all aspects of the reliable event distribution pipeline — from database trigger capture through Kafka publication to Watch bridge delivery — with honest drawbacks, seven real alternatives, specific risks with concrete mitigations, and measurable graduation criteria. Feedback: The design is strong across all dimensions. Two areas for minor improvement: (1) The E2E test section has only one scenario (controller restart/resume); consider adding E2E scenarios for tenant isolation over the full stack and multi-tenant replay to match the depth of the integration test section. (2) Open Question 6 (Event.id semantics vs OOS-2) should be resolved before merge — redefining Event.id from a capture-time identifier to a delivery position is a semantic contract change that could affect downstream consumers relying on stable ids across re-deliveries, and the design itself flags this as a potential conflict with the 'events delivered unchanged' non-goal.

In `@enhancements/OSAC-983-reliable-event-distribution/design.md`:
- Around line 355-356: Update the event-claiming and publishing design around
serial ordering so publishers cannot skip a locked lower-serial row for the same
tenant while it awaits Kafka acknowledgment; coordinate claims or enforce a
single ordered publisher per Kafka partition. Add an integration test with two
publishers that verifies per-tenant events remain strictly ordered.
- Around line 918-929: The downgrade path must remain reversible after the
notifications-drop migration: update the down migration to recreate the exact
former notifications table schema and indexes before restoring the pre-feature
service, or explicitly block downgrades once that migration has been applied.
- Around line 786-794: Resolve the data-at-rest tenant-isolation requirement
before finalizing the shared Kafka topic model: obtain the OSAC-63/compliance
decision and document whether per-tenant topics, ACLs, encryption, or another
separation mechanism is required for retained events. Update the proposal and
related Security Considerations and Kafka topic/ACL layout accordingly, rather
than relying solely on Watch bridge delivery filtering.
- Around line 403-415: Update the deterministic AEAD design around the token
encoding to select a construction that safely provides deterministic output,
rather than describing XChaCha20-Poly1305 as deterministic. Define the nonce
derivation, key-version encoding, and key-rotation behavior, including how
tokens remain decryptable or are rejected across versions, while preserving
tenant binding and authenticated rejection semantics.
- Around line 393-400: Define the resume protocol around the opaque cursor so
multi-partition from values carry a per-partition vector of highest contiguous
processed offsets, not a single record-local Event.id or fetched position.
Specify how clients or the bridge persist and submit this checkpoint without
marking merely fetched records as processed; alternatively constrain from to
single-partition scopes. Add coverage for resuming a two-partition scope.
- Around line 237-243: Update the bridge’s resume-position handling so an
expired from token produces FAILED_PRECONDITION instead of allowing Kafka to
reset to the latest offset. Configure retention for the documented resume SLA
and use auto.offset.reset=none or explicit offset-range validation; add coverage
proving expired from requests fail without seeking to the latest event.
- Around line 359-364: Update the event design so the stable logical event
identity remains distinct from the encrypted Kafka resume cursor; do not derive
or overwrite Event.id from the Kafka position. Add a separate opaque cursor
field for resumption, or explicitly version and migrate the Event.id contract
while preserving stable deduplication and correlation across retries and key
rotation.
- Around line 234-236: Update the no-group consumer contract to specify an
independent Kafka consumer per connection, starting at the latest
subscription-boundary position without reusing offsets. Preserve live-only
behavior so each new event is delivered to every no-group watcher, and define
tests verifying two watchers both receive new events while neither receives
events published before subscribing.
- Around line 226-232: Update the group-mode design around the load-balanced
delivery contract to define an explicit processing acknowledgement from the
controller to the bridge, including when Kafka offsets may be committed and how
unacknowledged deliveries are redelivered after a crash. Add a crash test
covering failure after delivery but before reconciliation completes, and remove
any “no loss” claim until the acknowledgement-to-commit protocol is specified
and validated.

Commit group offsets only after successful processing.
The controller migration says Kafka auto-commits offsets, but the bridge has no processing acknowledgement from the reconciler. A background commit can advance past an event before reconciliation finishes. After a crash, the replacement member can start after that event and miss it. Define a manual commit or acknowledgement protocol and test a crash after delivery but before reconciliation. Kafka uses the committed position as the restart position and supports periodic or application-controlled commits. (kafka.apache.org)

| Tenant isolation is the central security property. Per-tenant topics give it a | ||

Purge pending outbox rows during offboarding.
If Kafka is unavailable when a tenant is offboarded, events can remain in event_outbox. Deleting osac.events.<tenant> does not delete those rows. The publisher can later publish them after offboarding or after the topic is recreated. Define a quiesce, purge, or generation-fencing step for pending rows before offboarding completes. Add a test with pending outbox events.

Kafka consumer group auto.offset.reset behavior when a new topic or partition is discovered with no committed offset, and librdkafka regex subscription semantics
💡 Result:
When a Kafka consumer group discovers a new topic partition (e.g., due to partition expansion or a new regex-matched topic) and there is no committed offset for that partition, the consumer relies on the auto.offset.reset configuration to determine its starting position [1][2][3]. The behavior for auto.offset.reset is as follows [4][5][6]: - earliest: The consumer starts at the earliest available message in the partition [4][3]. - latest: The consumer starts at the end of the partition, effectively ignoring any historical data and only consuming new messages produced after the discovery [4][3]. - none: The consumer throws an OffsetOutOfRangeException (or equivalent error), requiring the application to handle the offset manually [1][2][5]. This mechanism applies generally to any partition that lacks a valid, committed offset, regardless of whether the partition is "newly discovered" or simply had its previous offset expire [2][3]. Discovery of new partitions happens automatically during a rebalance, which is triggered by periodic metadata refreshes [7][8][9]. Regarding librdkafka regex subscription semantics: - Broker-side Matching: In modern librdkafka versions using the consumer protocol, regex matching for subscriptions is performed on the broker side using the RE2/J engine [6][10]. - Full Match Requirement: Unlike the older "classic" protocol (which used local libc regex and allowed partial or prefix matches), the modern broker-side implementation requires the regex to match the complete topic name [6][10]. For example, subscribing to ^topic will not match topic-1; to achieve the previous behavior, the pattern must be updated to ^topic.* [6][10]. - Dynamic Discovery: New topics that match the regex are discovered dynamically during metadata refreshes [11][9]. Once a new topic/partition is discovered, the group undergoes a rebalance, after which the new partitions are assigned and the standard auto.offset.reset logic is applied [7][8].

Define the reset policy for newly discovered tenant topics.
A regex consumer group uses auto.offset.reset when it discovers a topic with no committed offset. latest skips retained records, while earliest replays them. Document the required policy and test a topic created while the consumer group is offline. This is required to support the design’s “never a loss” behavior.

…ve LISTEN/NOTIFY Correct the deployment model: there is no downgrade mechanism and no down migrations (the deployment cannot apply *.down.sql). The existing LISTEN/NOTIFY delivery transport (the notifications table and its in-memory fan-out) is removed entirely as part of introducing the Kafka path, in a single coordinated cutover rather than a phased coexistence. Reverting means redeploying the prior image plus a new forward migration that recreates notifications and one that drops the triggers. Flags the rolling-upgrade consequence in Cutover and Version Skew Strategy (the two transports no longer coexist). Updates Motivation, Upgrade / Downgrade Strategy, and the Disabling support procedure accordingly.

The disabling procedure drops the change-capture triggers. Direct SQL changes made while the previous image serves therefore do not enter
event_outbox, and the later Kafka drain cannot recover them. This contradicts “capture never stopped” and can leave Kafka consumers stale. Keep capture active during restoration, or require a bounded full resync for the restoration interval. Add a direct-SQL restoration test.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Preserve pending notifications during cutover.
The migration drops notifications, but the design does not transfer rows that the old transport produced and did not deliver. The new triggers capture only mutations after trigger installation. Therefore, the “no events are lost” claim is not valid for pending rows. Drain or backfill those rows into Kafka before the drop, or define a resync boundary. Add a cutover test with a pending notification.

Reject reliable Watch requests during version skew.
A client that sends from or group to an unmigrated replica silently receives the old best-effort behavior. The client can believe resume or group semantics were applied while events remain losable. Route these requests only to migrated replicas, or return an explicit unsupported-version error until cutover completes.

enhancements/OSAC-983-reliable-event-distribution/prd.md(merged)Summary
Makes the fulfillment-service
WatchAPI deliver object-change events reliably byintroducing a durable, ordered pipeline: an
event_outboxtable populated byper-table database triggers (so every committed change is captured, API or direct
SQL), an event publisher that drains it via a notification-driven blocking wait and
produces to a Kafka topic keyed by tenant, and a
Watchbridge that streams fromKafka with two new opt-in fields —
from(resume) andgroup(consumer group).Keying by tenant gives each tenant a totally ordered stream on one partition;
each event's
idis an opaque, encrypted encoding of its Kafka position, so aconsumer resumes by replaying that id with no server-side index, and the outbox
stays transient (Kafka is the sole durable log).
