Why

Signup tenant provisioning was driven by a Supabase Database Webhook configured in the hosted project's dashboard. That is console state, not repository state: deleting the project removes it with no diff, no error and no failing test, and new identities simply stop being provisioned. Every other part of the Supabase Cloud cutover fails loudly. This one failed silently, which is why .wolf/decisions.md D-023 requires the replacement to be shipped code.

Two things were verified on the live self-hosted box before designing anything, read only:

  • pg_trigger on auth.users: zero non-internal triggers. The dashboard webhook is genuinely absent from the restored database, and nothing recreates it.
  • The self-hosted database image is not supabase/postgres. pg_available_extensions offers only vector: no pg_net, no http, no plpython3u, and no supabase_functions or net schema. The database cannot make an outbound HTTP call at all on this deployment.
  • control-plane on that box had OWUI_ADMIN_TOKEN and SUPABASE_WEBHOOK_SECRET unset, so its boot log read WARNING: phase-19 identity wiring skipped and it started healthy anyway. That gate skipped the whole identity block, including the console provisioning route D-023 already shipped as the fallback. Provisioning was unreachable by any path, quietly.
  • Baseline data: auth.users 154, membership-less 33, membership-less created in the last 24 hours 0, tenants 958, personal tenants 4.

Mechanism, and the alternatives it was chosen over

signup.Reconciler, started at boot in cmd/server, sweeps auth.users for identities with no ACTIVE membership on a non-archived tenant and calls the existing Provisioner.Reconcile for each. One writer, three entry points now: the legacy webhook, the console route, and the sweep.

  1. Database trigger calling control-plane over HTTP (pg_net / supabase_functions.http_request, which is what a Database Webhook actually is). Impossible on this image, per the extension inventory above. Even where possible it needs the shared secret in database state, which in a public repository means either a committed secret or an out-of-band console step, that is, the same failure mode wearing a different hat, and its delivery failures land in a table nobody reads.
  2. Pure SQL trigger writing tenant_users directly. Duplicates the disposable-domain backstop, the resolver precedence, the deployment posture and the audit trail in a second language. reconcile.go exists precisely to keep one writer (D-005).
  3. LISTEN/NOTIFY plus a listener goroutine. Needs a migration, and still misses every identity created while control-plane is down, which the sweep covers for free.

Blast radius is bounded on purpose. cmd/backfill-tenants documents why a tenancy write is not wired into startup: one that happens on every deploy is one nobody reviews. So the sweep only considers identities created inside a lookback window (24 h default), skips soft-deleted and banned ones, and is batch-limited. On the live box that window currently holds zero rows, so the 33 historical membership-less identities stay the operator backfill's business, which is the existing reviewed route for them. A NULL created_at is excluded too: it is nullable with no default on real GoTrue, so NULL means a hand-written row whose age cannot be established.

Failing loudly when unwired

  • /health gains a provisioning contribution beside DBReady (the issue control-plane reports /health ok without a database pool, turning a transient pooler outage into 401 Incorrect API key provided #816 precedent). A nil reporter counts as unwired, not as fine, so a future change that stops wiring provisioning answers 503 degraded and the compose healthcheck fails, blocking the deploy.
  • A failing sweep is deliberately kept off this endpoint after review (see the resolved threads): it is a runtime fault that leaves API-key resolution, routing, accounting and payment webhooks working, so degrading the container healthcheck for it would convert a signup outage into a billing outage, and a restart would reset the counter and repeat. It is exported as ConsecutiveFailures, published as the hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures gauge on the telemetry listener Prometheus already scrapes, and alerted on after ten minutes in deploy/prometheus/alerts.yml.
  • A log line was rejected as the mechanism: the failure this change exists to prevent was a log line nobody read.

On the phase-19 identity wiring skipped warning

Kept, but it no longer gates provisioning. Provisioning needs only the pool, the resolver and the audit logger, all of which exist unconditionally. The Open WebUI group client and the webhook secret now gate exactly their own features: a missing OWUI_ADMIN_TOKEN costs the chat group wiring (Provisioner already logs the skip and still writes the membership), and a missing SUPABASE_WEBHOOK_SECRET leaves only the legacy webhook route unmounted. Deliberately not made fatal: fataling would take billing, API-key resolution and every other control-plane route down for a chat-side convenience and a retired webhook. The absence that actually matters is now reported on the health endpoint instead, where it cannot be missed.

Verification

Go tests run in Docker per CLAUDE.md, against a throwaway pgvector/pgvector:pg17 bootstrapped with .github/ci/test-db-bootstrap.sql plus the full supabase/migrations chain, which is what CI does.

./internal/signup/... and ./internal/platform/http/... both pass, gofmt clean, go vet ./... clean.

Process-level proof, the real binary with OWUI_ADMIN_TOKEN and SUPABASE_WEBHOOK_SECRET unset, which is the live box's exact env shape:

signup provisioning ready (console route plus reconciler sweep)
signup webhook route not mounted, SUPABASE_WEBHOOK_SECRET unset. Provisioning does not depend on it.
GET /health -> {"status":"ok"}

Mutation testing

Every new check was made to fail on purpose before being trusted.

# Mutation Result
M1 Router treats a nil ProvisioningReady as ready FAIL (503 expected, got 200)
M2 Lookback window widened by ten days FAIL (an out-of-window identity was provisioned)
M3 deleted_at IS NULL weakened to a tautology FAIL (a soft-deleted identity was provisioned)
M4 created_at IS NOT NULL weakened to a tautology GREEN, and the clause was therefore deleted. A comparison against NULL is not true, so the window predicate already excludes a NULL age; the extra clause could not fail and was decoration standing next to load-bearing filters. The assertion covering the behaviour stays and still passes.
M5 Sweep stops calling Reconcile and reports success FAIL (no membership written)
M6 Consecutive sweep failures stop being counted FAIL (Ready stayed true through three failed sweeps)
M7 no-tenant cooldown never active FAIL (the terminal determination was re-decided every sweep)
M8 cmd/server stops wiring the reconciler, real binary FAIL as designed: /health answered {"status":"degraded","reason":"signup provisioning unwired"}

M8 is the one that matters most: it is the exact regression this change exists to make impossible to ship quietly, and the compose healthcheck hits that endpoint.

Test-wiring note

.github/ci/test-db-bootstrap.sql gains created_at, deleted_at and banned_until on the CI stand-in auth.users, nullable with no default exactly as GoTrue declares them. Without them the sweep's own filters could not be exercised anywhere. ./internal/signup/... is already in the workflow's live-database leg, so these tests run for real in CI rather than skipping.

Revision after review

Three review findings were answered with fixes; each is written up in its resolved thread.

  • Healthcheck blast radius (CodeRabbit, Major). Split as described above: unwired degrades readiness, a failing sweep goes to a gauge plus an alert rule.
  • Cooled identities occupied the batch (Greptile, P1). The cooldown was applied in Go after the database had applied LIMIT, so on a deployment with hundreds of permanently unclaimable identities the cooled ones refilled every batch and starved the ones behind them until they aged out of the window. The exclusion moved into the query.
  • An exact resolver-call assertion depended on unrelated rows (CodeRabbit, Minor). The shared fixture now counts resolutions for its own domain instead of globally, which keeps the assertion exact without making it depend on what else is in a shared database.

One self-review finding was fixed before that, in 704ca5e: Sweep ran on the process-lifetime context, so a pass hung on the database would never return, never record a failure and never be visible anywhere, which is the same silent shape this PR exists to remove. Each pass now has its own deadline and an unfinished pass counts as a failure.

Mutations added across both rounds: M9 (drop the in-loop failure record) fails, M10 (drop the SQL cooldown exclusion) fails, M11 (ConsecutiveFailures always zero) fails. Eleven mutations total, ten red, one green and therefore deleted as decoration.

Third round (f17cad8)

Greptile came back on the same mechanism, correctly: the cooldown exclusion only covers identities that reached a terminal no-tenant determination, and an identity that keeps faulting never reaches one, so newest-first ordering let a fault set refill every batch while the identities behind them aged out of the window unattempted.

The fix is the ordering rather than a second exclusion list. The batch limit is applied by the database, so the ordering decides who a pass can act on at all: oldest-in-window first means the identities closest to being lost are always attempted, and nothing can hold the front of the queue. A fresh signup that waits a pass still has the console route and, where configured, the webhook, which is the right trade for a backstop. Cooling errored identities was rejected because it trades a starvation bound for an hour-long retry delay on every transient fault.

M12: flip the ordering back to DESC, and TestReconcilerSweepTakesTheOldestCandidatesFirst turns red. Twelve mutations total, eleven red, one green and deleted.

Greptile Summary

The PR moves signup tenant provisioning from optional dashboard and environment state into an in-process reconciliation sweep, while exposing provisioning wiring and failures through health and telemetry surfaces.

  • Starts a bounded, lifecycle-aware sweep over recent membership-less identities and delegates provisioning to the existing provisioner.
  • Wires console provisioning independently from optional Open WebUI and legacy webhook configuration.
  • Adds provisioning readiness, a consecutive-failure Prometheus gauge and alert, database-backed reconciliation tests, and CI auth-user lifecycle columns.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR should not merge until persistently failing identities can no longer monopolize every limited reconciliation batch and strand later signups.

Reconciliation errors leave identities immediately eligible, while the oldest-first limited query selects the same full batch again; with at least one batch of persistent failures, later identities can remain unattempted until they age out of the provisioning window.

…n it is not wired

Tenant provisioning on signup was driven by a Supabase Database Webhook created
in the hosted project's dashboard. That is console state, not repository state,
so deleting the project removes it with no diff, no error and no failing test,
and new identities silently stop being provisioned. D-023 requires the
replacement to be shipped code.

The self-hosted data plane cannot call us back at all: its database image offers
only the vector extension, with no pg_net, no http extension and no
supabase_functions schema, so the mechanism a Database Webhook actually is does
not exist there. A trigger reimplementing provisioning in SQL was rejected too,
since it would duplicate the disposable backstop, the resolver precedence, the
deployment posture and the audit trail in a second language.

So control-plane now asks the question itself. signup.Reconciler sweeps
auth.users for identities holding no ACTIVE membership on a non-archived tenant
and runs the existing Provisioner.Reconcile for each, which keeps one writer and
three entry points: the legacy webhook, the console route, and the sweep. The
sweep is bounded to identities created inside a lookback window and skips
soft-deleted and banned ones, because an automatic tenancy write across the whole
user table is exactly what the operator backfill command deliberately stays out
of startup to avoid.

Two absences that used to be invisible are now loud. Provisioning is no longer
gated on OWUI_ADMIN_TOKEN and SUPABASE_WEBHOOK_SECRET, whose absence had been
skipping the whole phase-19 identity block, including the console provisioning
route, on any deployment that had not set them. And the readiness endpoint now
carries a provisioning contribution where a nil reporter counts as unwired, so a
build that stops wiring it answers 503 degraded and its container healthcheck
fails, rather than starting quietly.

The resolver's two queries move from cmd/server into the signup package as
NewPgxResolver, so the sweep, the webhook and the console route resolve a tenant
with the same SQL rather than a copy that can drift.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The control plane now provisions tenants by sweeping auth.users through a database-backed reconciler. The legacy webhook is optional. Health checks report database and provisioning readiness.

Changes

Signup provisioning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Identity lookup and lifecycle data
.github/ci/test-db-bootstrap.sql, apps/control-plane/internal/signup/resolver.go
The CI auth.users schema includes lifecycle timestamps. Signup resolution uses pgx-backed invite and domain queries, with explicit no-match and database error handling.
Signup reconciliation
apps/control-plane/internal/signup/reconciler.go, apps/control-plane/internal/signup/reconciler_test.go
The reconciler selects eligible identities, invokes provisioning, tracks outcomes and failures, applies terminal-result cooldowns, runs immediately and periodically, and reports readiness. Integration tests cover filtering, idempotency, self-serve provisioning, cooldowns, and failure states.
Control-plane provisioning wiring
apps/control-plane/cmd/server/main.go, .env.example
Database-backed signup provisioning is always wired during initialization. The reconciler starts in the background, OWUI synchronization remains optional, and the legacy Supabase webhook is mounted only when configured.
Provisioning health reporting
apps/control-plane/internal/platform/http/router.go, apps/control-plane/internal/platform/http/router_health_provisioning_test.go, apps/control-plane/internal/platform/http/router_test.go
The health endpoint now requires both database and provisioning readiness. Tests cover unreported, failed, and successful provisioning states.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3b1e7

The PR adds a provisioning sweep and makes /health return 503 after repeated sweep failures. Because that endpoint also drives container health, a signup-provisioning database problem could restart or drain the control-plane and interrupt unrelated inference, API-key, accounting, or payment traffic. Merge readiness is moderate until liveness and readiness are separated or this availability tradeoff is explicitly accepted.

Document that ProvisioningReady must return a fixed reason string.

The second return value is written directly into the public /health body at Line 439. healthResponse.Reason already documents that the value must never carry a driver error, because the endpoint is public on the ingress tunnel. Reconciler.Ready honours that today. The RouterConfig field comment does not state the constraint, so a future reporter could pass an error string through.

302-320: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider excluding cooled identities in SQL, or the batch limit can starve newer candidates.

The LIMIT $2 applies before the in-memory cooldown filter. If more than BatchLimit identities inside the lookback window hold a terminal no_tenant determination, each sweep spends its whole batch on cooled rows. ORDER BY u.created_at DESC protects the newest identities, so the practical impact is bounded, but an operator who registers a domain for an older backlog sees slow pickup.

No change is required for the default 24h/200 configuration. Track it if the lookback window is ever widened.

Self-review finding. Sweep ran on the process-lifetime context, so a pass that
hung on the database would never return, never record a failure, and never
degrade the health endpoint: provisioning would be stuck while readiness kept
reporting ready, which is the same invisible failure this whole path exists to
remove.

Each pass now runs under its own deadline, shorter than the sweep interval so a
stuck pass cannot overlap the next one, and a pass that ends without finishing
its candidates counts against readiness exactly like a failed listing does. Only
the parent context ending is treated as shutdown, so a per-pass timeout no
longer looks like one and no longer silently stops the sweeper.

Also drops a write-only sweep counter that nothing read.

Findings, and what happened to each

A1, fixed in 704ca5e. A hung sweep was invisible, which is the exact bug class this PR exists to remove. Sweep ran on the process-lifetime context, so a pass that blocked on the database would never return, never reach recordSweep, and never degrade the health endpoint: provisioning stuck, readiness green. Each pass now runs under its own deadline, shorter than the interval so a stuck pass cannot overlap the next one, and a pass that ends without finishing its candidates counts against readiness like a failed listing. Start no longer treats a per-pass DeadlineExceeded as shutdown, which would have silently stopped the sweeper; only the parent context ending does. Test TestReconcilerCountsAnUnfinishedSweepAsFailure drives the cancellation from inside the provisioning attempt so the in-loop guard is the branch under test, and mutation M9 (delete that one recordSweep(false)) turns it red.

A2, fixed in 704ca5e. A sweeps counter was written and never read. Deleted.

A3, accepted deliberately, stated so it is a decision rather than an accident. A degraded provisioning path now makes /health answer 503, which makes the compose healthcheck fail, which blocks edge-api behind its depends_on: service_healthy. That is a real availability cost: a control-plane that cannot provision can still resolve API keys and serve billing. It is taken on purpose, because the failure being closed here is precisely one that stayed invisible for weeks, and a startup refusal is the only signal an operator cannot scroll past. The unwired arm can only fire on a code regression, and the failing-sweep arm needs three consecutive failures, so a single transient blip cannot flap it.

A4, analysed, no change. ORDER BY created_at DESC with a batch limit could look like starvation for older candidates when a burst exceeds the limit. It is self-healing: each pass provisions the newest 200, which removes them from the candidate set, so the older ones surface on the following pass. No candidate can be starved for longer than ceil(N / 200) intervals.

A5, analysed, no change. Two control-plane replicas sweeping one database both fall through the existing-membership short-circuit and both insert. The tenant_users primary key with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, and the partial unique index behind personal tenants, already make that exactly one membership and one tenant. This is the same race the webhook and the console route already had.

A6, analysed, accepted with the ceiling named in a ponytail: comment. The no-tenant cooldown is in-process, so a restart re-attempts every terminal determination once. Bounded by pruning plus the lookback window. Moving it onto the identity row is the upgrade path if a deployment ever needs it to survive a restart.

A7, unrelated observation, not touched here. internal/tenants TestSwitch_NonMember_403CrossTenant passes under go test -short ./... and fails when the same short run has HIVE_TEST_DB_URL set. CI runs the short leg without that variable, so it is green there and green on this branch. Flagging it because a test whose verdict depends on an environment variable it does not read deliberately is the shape that hides a real regression later. Out of scope for this PR.

Security and money-path review

This diff touches identity, tenancy and, indirectly, billing attribution, so the review is not skippable. Findings, each with the reasoning rather than a verdict.

S1. No new untrusted input surface. The sweep's inputs come from auth.users, which only GoTrue writes, and it passes them into the same ReconcileInput the webhook already populated from a shared-secret request body. Nothing is read from a caller. The console route is unchanged and still derives identity exclusively from the validated token, never from a body.

S2. Unconfirmed identities are provisioned, deliberately, and this is parity rather than a relaxation. The Database Webhook this replaces fired on auth.users INSERT, before any confirmation, so filtering on email_confirmed_at would be stricter than the path being replaced. It was considered and rejected on two grounds. First, the gain is close to zero: a tenant_users row is inert without a token, and where confirmations are enabled GoTrue withholds the session until the address is proven, so the holder of a membership on a domain-registered tenant is by then the proven owner of an address at that domain. Second, the cost is real: the window is keyed on created_at, so an invited user who accepts three days later would fall outside it and never be swept, which would quietly break the administered invite flow this same change is supposed to serve. If a future deployment wants confirmation-gated provisioning, the honest version is a window keyed on the later of creation and confirmation, not an extra filter bolted onto this one.

S3. No secret is introduced, and one dependency on a secret is removed. The sweep needs no shared secret at all, which is the point: a Database Webhook needs one in dashboard or database state, and in a public repository that means either a committed secret or an out-of-band console step. SUPABASE_WEBHOOK_SECRET now gates only the legacy route, and the handler still fails closed on an empty secret (constant_time_compare of two empty strings returns 1, so that guard is load-bearing and untouched).

S4. Nothing new is logged or exposed. SweepReport is counts only. The two new log formats carry counts and a wrapped database error, never an address, a tenant id or a user id. The health endpoint's new reason strings are fixed constants (signup provisioning unwired, signup provisioning sweep failing, signup provisioning not reported), so a driver error cannot reach that public body; the pre-existing no-leak test still passes, and the reason strings were checked against the same leak list. Audit payloads are unchanged: Provisioner already writes a hash token plus the domain, never the raw address.

S5. No privilege escalation path. Provisioning writes role = 'MEMBER', never OWNER, so the custom_access_token_hook remap that turns an OWNER into an Open WebUI ADMIN is not reachable from here. Personal tenants are still gated on config.IsEnterprisePosture, the single source of truth, so an administered deployment mints nothing. A tenant-less token still reaches exactly one route.

S6. Money path is conservative and unchanged. Provisioning calls EnsureTenantBillingAccount, which is not modified: it refuses to map unless every active member converges on exactly one account, and a miss is left unmapped rather than guessed. The live proof made that visible: the provisioned identity ended with tenant_billing_accounts rows = 0, because it has no console account yet, which is the documented conservative outcome and gets mapped by whichever side of the pairing lands second. The metering gate's fail-closed 403 remains the surface where an unmapped tenant shows up, exactly as before. No pricing, ledger or reservation code is touched by this PR.

S7. Blast radius is bounded, and the bound was verified against real data rather than assumed. The sweep considers only identities created inside the lookback window, skips soft-deleted and banned ones, and is batch-limited. On the live box the window held exactly one candidate (the proof identity) while 33 historical membership-less identities sat outside it, and the post-run counts confirmed all 33 were untouched: auth.users 154, tenants 958, membership-less 33, identical to the pre-run baseline.

S8. Denial of service. One indexed listing query plus N idempotent reconciles, every five minutes, batch-limited, now with a per-pass deadline. A hostile signup burst is capped by the batch limit, and each identity's work is the same work the webhook did per delivery.

No unresolved security findings. Verdict on the two arms that matter: provisioning cannot be silently absent (health), and it cannot silently over-reach (window plus posture plus conservative billing mapping).

Live end-to-end proof, against the demo box

Run on the deployed self-hosted stack, not a fixture. The identity was created through the real GoTrue admin API (POST /admin/users with email_confirm, no password set, so no credential exists for it), which is the administered path this deployment actually uses, and the sweep was then run from this branch's code against the live database inside a container on the box's compose network.

A snapshot was taken first, /home/sakib/selfhost-db-snapshot-2026-08-22-pre-provision-sweep.sql.gz on the box. The three existing snapshots were not touched.

Measurement Before After sweep After cleanup
tenant_users rows for the identity 0 1, ACTIVE, MEMBER 0
Personal tenants owned by it 0 1, deployment = HIVE_CLOUD 0
public.tenants total 958 959 958
tenant_billing_accounts for that tenant 0 0, conservative by design, see the security comment 0
Candidates inside the sweep window 1 0 0
auth.users 154 (155 with the proof identity) 155 154
Membership-less identities, total 33 33 33

Two things this shows beyond "it works". The sweep provisioned the administered identity with no dashboard webhook, no console visit and no shared secret configured on that box. And the 33 historical membership-less identities were left alone, because they sit outside the lookback window, which is the bound that keeps an automatic tenancy write off every deploy.

Cleanup removed the membership, the personal tenant and the identity itself, and every baseline count returned to its pre-run value. The clone and temporary SQL files used on the box were deleted.

No UI or UX surface is touched by this change, so the visual-proof rule does not apply: the artefacts here are database counts and process logs, and there is no screenshot to post.

… identities occupying the batch

Three review findings, all real.

A provisioning outage no longer takes the container healthcheck red. Reconciler.Ready
now answers one question only, whether provisioning is wired, which is a programming
error that cannot appear or clear by itself and so is safe to refuse a deploy over.
A failing sweep is a runtime fault that leaves API-key resolution, routing,
accounting and payment webhooks working, so degrading the healthcheck for it would
convert a signup outage into a billing outage, and a restart would reset the counter
and repeat. That state is exported as ConsecutiveFailures, published as the
hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures gauge on the telemetry listener Prometheus
already scrapes, and alerted on in deploy/prometheus/alerts.yml after ten minutes.

The no-tenant cooldown moves into the candidate query. It was applied in Go, after
the database had already applied the batch limit, so on a deployment with hundreds
of permanently unclaimable identities the cooled ones would keep filling every batch
and starve the identities behind them until those aged out of the lookback window.

The idempotency test's exact resolver-call assertion no longer depends on unrelated
rows: the shared fixture counts resolutions for its own domain rather than globally,
which leaves every test that reconciles the fixture identity directly unchanged and
makes the sweep assertion independent of whatever else is in a shared database.

Second-round changes and re-verification (cac7ecc)

Three review threads were answered with fixes rather than rebuttals: the healthcheck blast radius (CodeRabbit, Major), the globally-scoped resolver assertion (CodeRabbit, Minor), and cooled identities occupying the batch (Greptile, P1). Details are in each thread.

The loudness design changed shape as a result, so restating it plainly:

Condition What it means Where it shows up
Provisioning unwired A build stopped wiring it. Cannot appear or clear by itself. /health 503 degraded, so the container healthcheck fails and the deploy is blocked
Sweep failing Runtime fault. Everything else in the process still works. hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures gauge on the telemetry listener, alerted after ten minutes in deploy/prometheus/alerts.yml

Neither is a log line, which was the requirement. The difference is that the second one no longer takes inference and billing down as collateral.

Mutations added this round

# Mutation Result
M10 Delete the SQL cooldown exclusion (AND NOT (u.id = ANY($3::uuid[]))) FAIL (resolver calls per identity go 1 to 3)
M11 ConsecutiveFailures always returns 0 FAIL (both failure-counting tests)

Full suite green on a fresh database (bootstrap plus the whole supabase/migrations chain): ./internal/signup/... 19 tests, ./internal/platform/http/..., ./internal/platform/metrics/..., go vet ./... clean.

Two unrelated fixture observations, not fixed here

Both are the "green signal that cannot go red, or red for the wrong reason" family, so they are worth writing down rather than leaving as folklore.

  1. mustInsertTenant in internal/signup/webhook_test.go registers no cleanup and inserts fixed slugs (office, credit-check), so TestWebhook_HappyPath_* passes exactly once per database and then fails on tenants_slug_key forever. Invisible in CI because every run gets a fresh Postgres. It cost real time here before being recognised as dirty state rather than a regression.
  2. Running the -short suite with HIVE_TEST_DB_URL set fails several *_Live tests and internal/tenants. CI runs that leg without the variable, so it is green there, but a test whose verdict flips on an environment variable it does not deliberately read is the shape that hides a real failure later.

Neither is touched by this PR.

Comment thread apps/control-plane/internal/signup/reconciler.go
…ot be refilled by identities it never clears

Second Greptile finding on the same mechanism, and the first fix only covered half
of it. The cooldown exclusion keeps identities that reached a terminal no-tenant
determination out of the batch, but identities that keep faulting never reach one, so
newest-first ordering let them refill every batch while the identities behind them
aged out of the lookback window unattempted.

Ordering is the lever, because the batch limit is applied by the database: whichever
identities the ordering puts first are the only ones a pass can act on. Oldest first
means the identities closest to leaving the window are always attempted, and a fresh
signup that waits a pass still has the console route and, where configured, the
webhook. This is a backstop, so covering the ones about to be lost matters more than
latency on the newest.

Pinned by a test that limits a pass to one candidate, which is the only way the
ordering is observable, and mutation-tested by flipping it back to DESC.

Stage 6, missing stream: ecc:code-review (plus a security pass and a plain adversarial pass)

This review exists because ecc:code-review reported SKIPPED on the earlier pass. It touches auth and money paths, where a skipped stream must never read as a clean pass, so it ran properly here. Streams and verdicts:

Stream Verdict
ecc:code-review (PR mode, 7 categories) RAN. No CRITICAL, no HIGH. Three MEDIUM, three LOW, all posted inline.
Security pass (auth and money boundary) RAN. No CRITICAL, no HIGH. One pre-existing LOW on tenancy, posted inline.
Plain adversarial pass (the reasoning, not the style) RAN. Two MEDIUM on the observability asymmetry, posted inline.

Decision: APPROVE with comments. Nothing found here blocks the merge.

The mutation table was not taken as evidence

M8 and the sweep-failure gauge were reproduced at runtime, against the real router, the real Reconciler.Ready and the real Prometheus registry, in a throwaway probe package that has been deleted again.

The health flip, using exactly the composition cmd/server performs (a declared-but-unassigned *signup.Reconciler, whose method value is handed to RouterConfig.ProvisioningReady), over a real HTTP request to /health:

BROKEN   -> 503 {"status":"degraded","reason":"signup provisioning unwired"}
RESTORED -> 200 {"status":"ok"}
NIL FUNC -> 503 {"status":"degraded","reason":"signup provisioning not reported"}

So it genuinely flips, in both directions, and the third line confirms a reporter that was never supplied at all also reads as broken rather than as silence. The restore was proven by the same run, and the probe package was removed afterwards, so the tree is unchanged.

The gauge, driven by three real failing sweeps through a pool pointed at a closed local port, then scraped through the real promhttp handler:

before any sweep: hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures 0
after failed sweep 1: hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures 1
after failed sweep 2: hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures 2
after failed sweep 3: hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures 3

So the gauge moves, reaches the alert threshold, and is actually present in the scrape output rather than registered and never set.

The nine new database-backed guards are live, not inert

Worth stating explicitly, because a suite that silently skips is this repository's most repeated failure shape. In the Go tests (control-plane) live-Postgres leg, all nine ran and passed with real timings rather than skipping:

--- PASS: TestReconcilerSweepProvisionsFreshIdentity (0.03s)
--- PASS: TestReconcilerSweepIgnoresIdentitiesItMustNotGuessAbout (0.02s)
--- PASS: TestReconcilerSweepIsIdempotent (0.03s)
--- PASS: TestReconcilerBacksOffAnIdentityNoTenantClaims (0.02s)
--- PASS: TestReconcilerReadyIsFalseWhenUnwired (0.00s)
--- PASS: TestReconcilerCountsRepeatedSweepFailures (0.00s)
--- PASS: TestReconcilerSweepProvisionsSelfServeIdentityWithProductionResolver (0.03s)
--- PASS: TestReconcilerCountsAnUnfinishedSweepAsFailure (0.01s)
--- PASS: TestReconcilerSweepTakesTheOldestCandidatesFirst (0.03s)

./internal/signup/... is in the integration leg's package list, so these keep running rather than being a one-time local result.

What the review checked and found sound

  • Money. The sweep cannot grant credits twice, because this path grants none. provision writes tenant_users, calls the conservative and idempotent EnsureTenantBillingAccount, and writes audit rows. EnsureTenantBillingAccount never creates an account and never posts to the ledger, and there is no credit or grant call anywhere in the package. A duplicate sweep is therefore not a money event at all.
  • Idempotency and races. Two replicas, or a sweep overlapping a live signup, converge on one membership: the activeMembership short-circuit, then the tenant_users primary key with ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING, then tenants_personal_owner_owner_user_id-style partial uniqueness (tenants_personal_owner_user_id_key) for the personal-tenant case, where the loser reads the winner's row. Nothing here depends on a check-then-act in Go.
  • Identities older than the window. They are left to the operator backfill, which is the existing reviewed route, and the live baseline is zero membership-less identities inside the window. That split is deliberate and documented rather than an oversight.
  • Tenancy resolution. The sweep never supplies an invite token, so only the domain path can fire, and public.tenant_email_domains.domain is the primary key, so there is exactly one candidate tenant per domain and no arbitrary-row ambiguity. One pre-existing caveat is posted inline.
  • Ready cannot be true while the provisioner is misconfigured. auditLogger is assigned unconditionally earlier in the same pool != nil block, so the Audit == nil branch of Reconcile is unreachable wherever the reconciler is wired.
  • The kept phase-19 warning. Splitting the gate so the Open WebUI client and the webhook secret gate only their own features is right, and not fataling is right for the stated reason.

Judgement on the deliberate asymmetry

The asymmetry itself is the correct call, and the half that matters is proven: unwired cannot be transient, so it degrades readiness, and it demonstrably does. The claim that a failing sweep is observable instead is weaker than the description says on this deployment, for two reasons that are pre-existing rather than introduced here, plus one that is inherent to the window. All three are inline below. None of them is worse than the log line this change replaces, so none blocks the merge, but the second one means the new rule probably will not be loaded by the deploy that ships it.

…ing falsifiable

The rebase onto #993 required composing two independent /health signals
rather than letting either overwrite the other, and re-validating the
premise the Open WebUI half of this change rested on.

Rebase resolution:

- healthHandler takes both the DBReady callback and #993's
  ProvisioningReady reporter. Precedence is database first, then
  provisioning; either signal alone degrades the endpoint and both nil
  cases read as not ready.
- router_health_provisioning_test.go, added by #993, still passed a bool
  and no longer compiled.
- TestNewRouterHealthReactsToRuntimeChange built a router with no
  ProvisioningReady. After #993 a nil reporter degrades /health on
  purpose, so both of that test's 200 assertions were answered 503 for
  an unrelated reason and it had stopped testing DBReady at all. It now
  supplies a ready reporter, so the two signals are exercised one at a
  time from opposite sides.

Mutation testing found this change's own wiring unfalsifiable. Deleting
the runtime term from the RouterConfig literal, leaving
DBReady: func() bool { return pool != nil }, left the whole
control-plane suite green: ResolveHealth was covered, DBReady being
called per request was covered, and their composition was not. For a
change whose entire purpose is removing a health signal that cannot
report a failure, that was not acceptable. dbReadyFunc is now extracted
from the literal and TestDBReadyFuncCombinesBootAndRuntimeSignals covers
no pool, pool plus fresh tracker, runtime degradation and recovery on
one callback with no restart, and a nil tracker.

The edge-api degraded reason said control-plane resolve unavailable.
That endpoint is unauthenticated on the public gateway, and
control-plane's own /health restricts itself to fixed, component-free
strings with a test enforcing it. Changed to authorization dependency
unavailable, with TestDegradedHealthBodyNamesNoInternalComponent
mirroring that guard.

The Open WebUI timeout comment claimed the pooler silently drops a
libpq options startup string on this deployment. That was measured
against Supabase Cloud through Supavisor, and this deployment has no
Supavisor at all: PGVECTOR_DB_URL resolves to a direct Postgres on 5432
with max_connections at 100. Re-measured there, both the options form
and SET LOCAL report the requested 3s, and the role default with
neither is 0, meaning unbounded. The change is therefore a no-op here
rather than a fix, and it stays only because SET LOCAL is honoured under
transaction-mode pooling as well while the options form is not. The
comment now says which deployment each measurement came from.

the `options="-c statement_timeout=... -c lock_timeout=..."` startup

the role default is `0`, unbounded. So this half is a **no-op on today's
deployment**, not a fix. It stays because `SET LOCAL` is also honoured
under transaction-mode pooling and the `options=` form is not, making it
strictly the more portable of two currently-equivalent choices, and
because either one is required to keep this per-login query bounded at
all. The inline comment asserting that the pooler silently drops the
timeout on this deployment was wrong after the cutover and has been
rewritten to say which deployment each measurement came from.
>
> **What still stands, and never depended on the pooler.** Both
`/health` fixes are about a health signal that cannot report a runtime
failure, which is a property of this code rather than of any pooler.
`pool != nil` can never become false again once the pool opens, so every
way the database becomes unreachable at runtime (the db container
restarting, a docker network partition, connection exhaustion, the
read-only-database incident of 2026-08-01) still leaves `/health`
answering 200. edge-api's `/health` consulted nothing at all. The
cutover strengthens this: the database is now a container on the same
box that can be restarted or filled, with no managed pooler in front
absorbing anything, and `/health` is what the compose healthcheck and
every `depends_on: service_healthy` gate read.
>
> **Combined `/health` semantics with #993.** control-plane, in order: a
nil or false `DBReady` gives 503 `"database unavailable"`; then a nil or
false `ProvisioningReady` gives 503 with the reconciler's own reason;
otherwise 200. `DBReady` is now `dbReadyFunc(pool, resolveHealth)`,
false when the pool never opened and false when the most recent
`/internal/apikeys/resolve` failed infrastructurally rather than
reaching a key verdict. Either signal alone degrades the endpoint, and
both nil cases read as not-ready rather than as fine. edge-api: 503
`{"status":"degraded","reason":"authorization dependency unavailable"}`
when `authz.Client.Degraded()`, else 200.

`router_health_provisioning_test.go` updated for the `func() bool`
signature; `TestNewRouterHealthReactsToRuntimeChange` given a
`ProvisioningReady` reporter, because after #993 it was being answered
503 for an unrelated reason and had stopped testing `DBReady` at all;
`dbReadyFunc` extracted from the `RouterConfig` literal with
`TestDBReadyFuncCombinesBootAndRuntimeSignals` added, after mutation
testing showed the wiring of the two signals was itself unfalsifiable;
and the edge-api degraded reason changed from `"control-plane resolve
unavailable"` to `"authorization dependency unavailable"`, with a leak
guard, because that endpoint is unauthenticated on the public gateway.

## Summary

This started as a database-review investigation of P0 pool-contention
symptoms and grew, mid-task, into a confirmed count of **five distinct
user-visible failure threads, at least eight distinct observed failure
signatures**, all tracing to one root cause: the shared 15-client
Supavisor session-mode pool. That count is the argument for fixing this
structurally (raise the ceiling) rather than patching each symptom's
call site, and it is the part the owner should read first.

### Every symptom traced to the same one cause

1. **Seeder write**: Cloudflare `522`, and the same job's log carried
`(ECHECKOUTTIMEOUT) unable to check out connection from the pool after
15000ms in Session mode` — the ceiling named explicitly by the pooler
itself.
2. **Gateway authorization**: `/v1/chat/completions` and `/v1/models`
failed for every chat alias, including one routing to OpenRouter with no
Groq involved (ruling out a provider-specific cause) — first a clean
`503 upstream_unavailable`, then full timeouts, originating from
`authz.Client.Resolve`'s `ErrUpstreamUnavailable` classification.
3. **OWUI login** (found via code audit + live pooler probe, this PR):
every single login pays a session-mode connection acquisition, because
`deploy/docker/owui-patches/tenant_role_from_db.py`'s `PGVECTOR_DB_URL`
falls back to the raw session DSN — `SUPABASE_DB_POOL_URL_LIBPQ` was
never set.
4. **Screenshot-capture agent**: 4 distinct failures in 5 attempts — a
Supabase `504`, a Cloudflare `522`, a Caddy upstream timeout, and an
auth bounce. Four different failure shapes from four different layers of
the same request path, in one short window.
5. **A separate agent's API key**: lost mid-session because the revoke
route it was calling was itself timing out against the same pool.

**Corroborating evidence that this is saturation, not a fault**: the
gateway outage cleared on its own once activity dropped. A real defect
does not self-heal when load falls; a shared, capped resource does.
`scripts/derive-pooler-dsn.py`'s own docstring already proves the
arithmetic doesn't fit even after prior mitigations (6 long-lived + 3x4
ephemeral CI = 18 > a ceiling of 15), and issue #841 independently
measured the ceiling being hit with *zero* CI running at the time.

## What this PR fixes (code, verified, low risk)

1. **control-plane's `/health` was blind to runtime pool contention.**
`RouterConfig.DBReady` was a `bool` computed once from `pool != nil` at
boot and baked into the health handler closure. A `pgxpool.Pool` is
never `nil` again after a successful boot, even when every checkout is
timing out under runtime session-mode contention — so `/health` reported
`200 {"status":"ok"}` throughout an active outage. Fixed with
`platform/db.ResolveHealth`, a zero-cost tracker fed by real traffic on
`/internal/apikeys/resolve` (no synthetic probe, no new connection, no
added load on the pool this exists to report on). `DBReady` is now a
per-request callback combining `pool != nil` with the tracker.
2. **edge-api's `/health` was fully static** — an unconditional `200`,
checking nothing. `authz.Client` now tracks the outcome of its own
resolve calls (a real verdict vs `ErrUpstreamUnavailable`) and exposes
`Degraded()`; `/health` consults it.
3. **A verified-live correctness bug in the OWUI login-role lookup**
(`deploy/docker/owui-patches/tenant_role_from_db.py`, runs on every OIDC
login): it passed `statement_timeout`/`lock_timeout` via a psycopg2
`options=` startup string. Live-tested against the actual Supavisor
transaction-mode pooler (not assumed from documentation, per explicit
ask): the connection succeeds with no error, and `SHOW
statement_timeout` reports the role's untouched 2-minute default, not
the requested 3 seconds — a **silent** failure to bound this query.
Replaced with `SET LOCAL statement_timeout` / `SET LOCAL lock_timeout`
inside the existing implicit transaction, the same pattern every
`set_config(..., true)` RLS call in this codebase already relies on.
Re-verified live: `SHOW` now reports the requested 3s correctly.

## Why this PR does NOT move anything else to transaction mode

Moving a session-mode consumer to transaction mode requires
per-call-site verification, not a category-level judgment call — getting
it wrong breaks tenant isolation or reservation correctness, which is
worse than the outage this PR is about. Before touching anything, I
grepped every session-scoped primitive across both Go services,
exhaustively, not by sampling:

- Every `set_config('app.current_tenant_id', $1, true)` call
(control-plane: `role_pgx.go`, `egress/repository.go`,
`agenttask/repository.go`, `rag/repository.go`,
`marketplace/repository.go`; edge-api: `rag/repository.go`,
`artifacts/repository.go`) already passes `is_local=true` inside an
explicit `tx.Exec` — already transaction-scoped, already safe under
transaction-mode pooling, everywhere it is set.
- Every advisory lock except one uses `pg_advisory_xact_lock`
(transaction-scoped, safe): edge-api's `chat/audit.go`, control-plane's
`audit/sync.go` and `rag/provision.go`. The one exception,
`accounting/pglock.go`'s `PgxAccountLocker`, takes session-scoped
`pg_advisory_lock`/`pg_advisory_unlock` across a whole credit
reservation and must keep session mode.
- The one `LISTEN` in the codebase (`tenant/settings/listener.go`) needs
one physical connection held for process life and must keep session
mode.

Conclusion: edge-api has zero session-scoped dependencies anywhere
(exhaustive, not sampled) — its existing transaction-mode assignment was
already correct and safe before this audit. control-plane's two
session-mode dependencies are real, narrow, and load-bearing enough
(tenant-settings cache invalidation, credit-reservation correctness)
that control-plane as a whole must stay on session mode. Nothing found
here needs to move, and nothing in this PR moves it.

## What this PR recommends but does not execute (needs explicit sign-off
— a Supabase project setting, not code)

**Raise Supavisor's session pool_size.** This is the only lever that
adds headroom rather than redistributing an already-insufficient 15
across more claimants (the project's own tooling docstring says so
explicitly). Postgres itself already provisions `max_connections=60`
against a `pool_size` of 15, so there is very likely free room without
any migration. Rejected: further cap redistribution alone (already tried
once, proven insufficient by the project's own arithmetic); isolating CI
onto separate credentials/project now (correct long-term direction,
tracked in #631, a bigger lift than a same-day fix).

**Self-hosting Supabase, kept as two separate claims per explicit
instruction not to collapse them:** it raises the pool_size ceiling but
does not remove the CI/agent/live-traffic coupling — the same failure
mode returns at a bigger number unless separately re-architected (#631's
own two directions: a separate CI project, or a local Postgres for
local/CI). This is orthogonal to the separately-measured slow-sign-in
latency from browser-to-GoTrue calls against Supabase Cloud (3.5-9s,
once 14.5s), which is a network-latency cost, not a pool-contention
cost, and which self-hosting genuinely would fix since GoTrue would then
run on the box. Two different problems, two different fixes — raising
pool_size does nothing for the GoTrue latency, and self-hosting only
helps the pool-contention symptoms by way of a bigger, not structurally
different, ceiling.

## Test plan

- [x] `go build ./apps/control-plane/... ./apps/edge-api/...` clean
- [x] `go test ./apps/control-plane/... ./apps/edge-api/... -count=1
-short` — all packages pass, including new tests:
- `platform/db`: `TestResolveHealth_DefaultsHealthy`,
`TestResolveHealth_FlipsOnFailureThenClearsOnSuccess`
- `apikeys`: `TestInternalResolveRecordsInfraFailureAsDegraded`,
`TestInternalResolveRecordsNotFoundAsHealthy` (proves a genuine
not-found verdict is never mistaken for a DB problem)

## Adversarial review

Ran as a single database-reviewer pass (self-review) given task scope;
the full multi-stream pipeline (CodeRabbit, `ecc:code-review`,
`security-reviewer`) was **not** run by this agent — declaring that
explicitly rather than silently skipping it. Recommend the orchestrator
run those streams before merge, given this touches the authorization hot
path.

<details open><summary><h3>Greptile Summary</h3></summary>

The PR makes control-plane and edge-api health endpoints respond to
runtime authorization/database degradation and moves the Open WebUI
tenant-role query timeouts into its transaction.

- Adds atomic runtime health trackers driven by real API-key resolution
traffic.
- Changes control-plane database readiness from a startup boolean to a
per-request callback.
- Makes edge-api `/health` return a service-unavailable response after
upstream authorization failures.
- Applies PostgreSQL statement and lock timeouts with `SET LOCAL` during
Open WebUI login-role lookup.
- Adds regression coverage for degradation, recovery, callback polarity,
nil callbacks, cache hits, and timeout-related wiring.
</details>


<details open><summary><h3>Confidence Score: 5/5</h3></summary>

The PR appears safe to merge, with no concrete blocking or independently
actionable non-blocking defects identified.

The runtime health signals are wired with consistent polarity and safe
nil handling, cache hits do not falsely claim upstream recovery, and the
Open WebUI timeout statements execute within the existing implicit
transaction.

…earing themselves

Three findings from the PR #993 review, all of which made the alerting side of
this system decorative.

Alertmanager notified nobody. Its only receiver was a webhook to
http://localhost:9095/webhook, where nothing has ever listened, dating to
0c130db on 2026-04-24, so every alert this system has ever defined went
nowhere for four months. The receiver is now email, from no_reply@hive.scubed.co
to ENTERPRISE_SMTP_ADMIN_EMAIL, with the relay read from the existing
ENTERPRISE_SMTP_* variables that already feed GoTrue. Alertmanager cannot expand
environment variables in a config file, so the config moves into
docker-compose.yml as a compose configs block, which Compose interpolates at up
time. That also puts the config in the service specification, so up -d recreates
alertmanager whenever it changes. Unconfigured stays loud without crash-looping:
the smarthost falls back to the RFC 2606 reserved smtp-not-configured.invalid, so
the config parses and firing alerts remain visible, while every send fails naming
that literal string. The SMTP password is passed by file reference, so it never
enters the config Alertmanager serves back on its API.

Rules never loaded on a deploy. prometheus.yml and alerts.yml are single-file
bind mounts, Prometheus was never sent a reload, and up -d does not recreate a
container when only a mounted file's contents changed. Measured on the box before
writing anything: the host alerts.yml was inode 134312 with
SignupProvisioningSweepFailing first, the container's copy was inode 132251
without it, and /api/v1/rules listed five rules, none of them the one merged that
morning. A new step applies these configs the way the Caddy step already does,
recreating when the mounted copy diverges by content and sending SIGHUP when it
does not, and a following step asserts the outcome from Prometheus's and
Alertmanager's own APIs on a bounded retry.

The failure gauge cleared itself when work was lost. recordSweep(Failed == 0)
resets hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures, and a sweep goes clean the moment
the identity that kept faulting ages out of the 24 hour lookback window, so the
alert resolved at the exact instant provisioning had permanently failed for
somebody. Two metrics now cover that: a monotonic
hive_signup_provisioning_faults_total, which the candidate disappearing cannot
walk back, and hive_signup_provisioning_stranded_identities, a gauge of
identities already past the window holding no membership, which rises at the
moment of loss and falls only when one of them actually gets a tenant.

Also from the same review. The sweep's batch drops from 200 to 50, because 200
identities inside the two minute deadline needed 600ms each and a pass cancelled
mid-batch was recorded as a failed sweep after doing real work. And
tenant_email_domains no longer grants INSERT or DELETE to authenticated: the
domain column is the primary key and the policy constrained only the tenant, so
any signed-in user could claim gmail.com on their own personal tenant and capture
every later gmail.com signup into it, which #993 made reachable automatically.
Nothing in the repository writes that table, so the grants were pure attack
surface.

Alertmanager is scraped now, and Prometheus scrapes itself, because
alertmanager_notifications_failed_total and
prometheus_config_last_reload_successful were the only signals that would have
caught either defect and nothing was reading them.

Verified against the real relay from the box, credentials referenced by name and
never printed: EHLO 250, STARTTLS 220, AUTH 235, MAIL FROM 250 accepting
no_reply@hive.scubed.co, RCPT TO 250, then DATA 502 "Your SMTP account is not yet
activated". So the credentials are correct, STARTTLS on 587 negotiated with
smtp_require_tls left on, and sender verification did not reject the sender. The
remaining blocker is Brevo account activation, which is relay account state and
not configuration, and no substitute sender was tried to get around it. The same
alert run through Alertmanager on the box reaches the same 502 and reports it
verbatim in an ERROR line rather than swallowing it.

Review findings addressed on this branch, all four mine: a sweep that both
faulted and failed to measure called recordSweep twice and climbed the gauge two
per pass; measureStranded could produce a gauge that can never move when Lookback
meets or exceeds its window; the rule-file assertion matched any quoted list item
rather than only rule paths; and the verify step had no retry, so a recreated
Prometheus could be polled before it was serving. The stranded measurement also
moved ahead of the candidate loop so it always has the pass's full deadline; the
two queries look at disjoint sets, so ordering costs nothing.

Proof, including every new check shown failing on purpose, is in
docs/proof/alerting-chain-2026-08-22/live-transcript.md. Three checks that could
not fail, or could not pass, were found by trying to break them, and the reasons
are recorded next to the code so they are not reintroduced.

…earing themselves (#998)

## Why

Three medium findings from the PR #993 review, left unfixed there by
design. Together they mean the alerting side of this system was
decorative: a rule that never loaded, feeding an alert that reached
nobody, driven by a gauge that cleared itself exactly when work was
lost.

All three were confirmed against the live box, read only, before
anything was designed. None of this is inferred from reading code.

## The relay, and exactly where delivery stands

A Brevo relay is now configured on the box (`ENTERPRISE_SMTP_HOST`,
`_PORT`, `_USER`, `_PASS`, `_ADMIN_EMAIL`, all in
`/home/sakib/hive/.env`, mode 600, untracked). A real send was attempted
from the box. Verbatim, credentials referenced by name only:

```
MAIL FROM: no_reply@hive.scubed.co
RCPT TO:   contact@scubed.com.bd

EHLO      -> 250
STARTTLS  -> 220 2.0.0 Ready to start TLS
AUTH      -> 235 2.0.0 Authentication succeeded
MAIL FROM -> 250 2.0.0 Roger, accepting mail from <no_reply@hive.scubed.co>
RCPT TO   -> 250 2.0.0 I'll make sure <contact@scubed.com.bd> gets this
DATA      -> 502 5.7.0 Your SMTP account is not yet activated. Please contact us
             at contact@sendinblue.com to request activation.
```

- **Credentials are correct.** `AUTH -> 235`. STARTTLS on 587 negotiated
cleanly and `smtp_require_tls` was never turned off.
- **Sender verification did not reject the sender.**
`no_reply@hive.scubed.co` was accepted at `MAIL FROM` with an explicit
250. No substitute sender was tried.
- **The one remaining blocker is Brevo account activation**, which is
account state on the relay, not configuration in this repository.
**Owner action:** request SMTP activation from Brevo, at the address in
their own refusal or through the dashboard's transactional-email
activation flow.

Until that clears, alerts route correctly, attempt delivery, and fail
loudly with that 502 in `docker logs hive-alertmanager-1` plus a rising
`alertmanager_notifications_failed_total`, which this PR is the reason
anything scrapes at all. **No message has reached the mailbox and this
PR does not claim one has.**

`HIVE_ALERT_FROM` is the only variable this PR adds, defaulted to
`no_reply@hive.scubed.co` in the compose config, and `.env.example`
carries it with a placeholder. `ENTERPRISE_SMTP_ADMIN_EMAIL` is the
**recipient**; the sender is a separate value and the SMTP login is
neither.

## Finding 1: Alertmanager notified nobody

The only receiver was a webhook to `http://localhost:9095/webhook`.
Nothing has ever listened there. It dates to `0c130db6a`, 2026-04-24, PR
#89, so every alert this system has defined has gone nowhere for four
months without a single failing check.

The receiver is now `hive-ops`, an `email_configs` entry from
`no_reply@hive.scubed.co` to `ENTERPRISE_SMTP_ADMIN_EMAIL`, with
`send_resolved: true`.

Alertmanager has no environment variable expansion of any kind, so the
config could not stay a bind-mounted file and still read
`ENTERPRISE_SMTP_*`. It moves into `docker-compose.yml` as a compose
`configs` block, which Compose interpolates at `up` time. That was
chosen over rendering a template on the box, which would dirty the
shared checkout and break `git pull --ff-only` there. It has a second
benefit that is the real reason it wins: config content is part of the
**service specification**, so `docker compose up -d` recreates
alertmanager whenever the config text changes, which removes finding 2
for this service entirely rather than working around it.

Unconfigured is loud without crash-looping. The smarthost falls back to
`smtp-not-configured.invalid:587`; RFC 2606 reserves `.invalid` so it
can never resolve. The config parses, Alertmanager stays up, firing
alerts stay visible in its UI, and every send fails with that literal
string in the log and an increment on
`alertmanager_notifications_failed_total`. Refusing to start would have
removed the only surface where a firing alert can still be seen.

The SMTP password is passed by **file reference**
(`smtp_auth_password_file`), not inline. Verified rather than assumed:
`docker compose config` does not print `configs.content` at all, and the
file-reference form additionally keeps the value out of the config
Alertmanager echoes back on `/api/v2/status`, which the deploy step
prints. Nothing in this PR can leak it into a public CI log.

## Finding 2: rules never loaded on the deploy that shipped them

Measured on the box:

```
host  deploy/prometheus/alerts.yml   inode 134312, first alert SignupProvisioningSweepFailing
guest /etc/prometheus/alerts.yml     inode 132251, first alert HighAPIErrorRate
```

and `/api/v1/rules` listed five rules, none of them the one merged that
same morning in #993. Both halves were live at once: the single-file
mount was pinned to an inode `git pull` had already replaced, and
Prometheus had never been told to reload anyway.

Two new steps in `deploy-demo-box.yml`, modelled on the Caddy apply loop
that already exists for the same defect:

- **Apply.** Compare each container copy against the host file. Differ
means the mount is inode-stale and no in-container reload can ever see
the new file, so prometheus is recreated (its TSDB is a named volume, so
this is cheap). Match means SIGHUP, which reloads the config and every
rule file in place. SIGHUP rather than `--web.enable-lifecycle` and an
HTTP POST, so no extra flag, no admin endpoint and no HTTP client in the
image are needed.
- **Verify.** Assert the outcome from the running processes' own APIs:
the scrape jobs and rule-file paths Prometheus serves must match
`prometheus.yml`, every `- alert:` name in the repository must appear in
`/api/v1/rules`, and Alertmanager's live config must define the receiver
its route names and have a real delivery mechanism.

### What I found about the other bind-mounted monitoring configs

Checked, not assumed:

| Mount | Shape | Affected |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `deploy/prometheus/prometheus.yml` | single file | Yes, inode pinning
plus no reload. Fixed. |
| `deploy/prometheus/alerts.yml` | single file | Yes, same. Fixed. |
| `deploy/prometheus/alerts/` | directory | No inode pinning, contents
always current in the container, but the reload was still missing.
Covered by the SIGHUP. |
| `deploy/alertmanager/alertmanager.yml` | single file | Yes, same.
Removed entirely; the config is now in the service spec, so `up -d`
recreates on change. |
| `deploy/grafana/dashboards/` | directory | No. Grafana's dashboard
provider rescans from disk on its own schedule. |
| `deploy/grafana/provisioning/` | directory | Partially. Dashboard
providers rescan, but **datasource** provisioning is applied at startup
only and would need a recreate. Nothing in this PR touches it; called
out in the workflow comment so the next person to edit
`provisioning/datasources` knows. |

## Finding 3: the gauge self-cleared when work was lost

`recordSweep(report.Failed == 0)` resets
`hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures`, and a sweep goes clean the
moment the identity that kept faulting is older than the 24 hour
lookback window, because `candidateQuery` stops returning it. So the
alert resolved at the exact instant provisioning had permanently failed
for a real person.

Both a counter and a separate aged-out metric, because they answer
different questions and neither alone is enough:

- **`hive_signup_provisioning_faults_total`** (counter). One increment
per identity-level `Reconcile` fault, monotonic. Nothing decrements it,
so the candidate disappearing cannot walk the record back. The alert
keys on `increase(...[1h]) > 0`, which the work being lost cannot
resolve. This is the direct fix.
- **`hive_signup_provisioning_stranded_identities`** (gauge). Identities
holding no active membership whose `created_at` is already outside the
lookback window, so no future sweep will ever look at them again. It
rises at the moment of permanent loss and falls only when one of them
actually gets a tenant, so it reports the standing consequence rather
than an event that scrolls past. Bounded to a seven day trailing window:
unbounded it would include every historical membership-less row, which
on an administered deployment is a permanent non-zero constant, and an
alert that never clears is an alert nobody reads. The bound also keeps
the query cheap on a five minute timer, and it is measured on the sweep
and cached so a Prometheus scrape never waits on the database.
- The existing consecutive-failures gauge **stays**. Its
reset-on-success semantics are correct for what it measures. The defect
was that it was the only signal.

`SignupProvisioningStrandedIdentity` alerts on the rise (`gauge - gauge
offset 1h > 0`) rather than an absolute threshold, for the same cry-wolf
reason.

## Low findings from the same review

**Batch of 200 against a 2 minute deadline: fixed.** Dropped to 50. Each
candidate costs a resolver query, a membership insert, a billing-account
lookup and, where Open WebUI is wired, two upstream HTTP calls, so 200
had to average under 600ms each to finish inside `sweepDeadline`. Past
that the pass is cancelled mid-batch and recorded as a **failed sweep
even though it provisioned people**, which is a false alert.
Oldest-first ordering means a backlog still drains, just across more
passes.

**`tenant_email_domains` has no verification: fixed at the write
surface.** This is the tenancy-isolation call, and it mattered more than
the batch size.

The table granted `INSERT, DELETE` to `authenticated`, and its `FOR ALL`
policy checked only `tenant_id = auth.jwt() ->> 'tenant_id'`. That
policy does constrain which tenant a row attaches to, but `domain` is
the primary key and nothing constrained **which domain**, so claims were
first come first served. Every user owns a personal tenant and is
therefore `authenticated` with a `tenant_id` claim, so any signed-in
user could insert `('gmail.com', <their own tenant>)` through the data
API, and from that moment every new identity signing up with a gmail.com
address would resolve to their tenant and be given a membership in it.
They would then hold tenant-owner visibility over strangers.

That was reachable but inert while provisioning ran through a deleted
dashboard webhook. #993 makes the control-plane sweep and provision on a
timer, which makes domain auto-attachment automatic with no human in the
loop. So the write surface closes: migration `20260822_01` revokes both
grants and drops the now-redundant `FOR ALL` policy
(`tenant_email_domains_select_own` from `20260518_04` already provides
the identical read path). Registration stays possible for the roles
holding real privilege, which is where a decision to trust a domain
belongs.

The lazy fix is the right one here: **no application code writes this
table.** `signup.NewPgxResolver` only ever SELECTs from it, and a
repository search finds no other writer in control-plane, edge-api or
web-console. The grants were pure attack surface. Domain ownership proof
(a DNS TXT challenge or a mail to `postmaster@`) is a separate feature
and is not attempted; removing the ability of an arbitrary user to claim
a domain is what makes its absence safe meanwhile. The comment in
`resolver.go` that called this a "verified email domain" is corrected,
because it was a lie a reader would have believed.

## Alerting now watches itself

Prometheus scrapes Alertmanager and itself, and `alerts/monitoring.yml`
adds `AlertDeliveryFailing`, `PrometheusConfigReloadFailed` and
`AlertmanagerDown`. Those two metrics were the only signals that would
have caught either of the first two findings, and nothing was reading
them.

`AlertDeliveryFailing` cannot be delivered while delivery is what is
broken. That is stated in its own annotation rather than glossed. It is
visible in the Prometheus, Alertmanager and Grafana UIs, and it starts
firing the moment a relay that used to work stops working, which is the
case that matters once the account is activated.

## Proof, end to end, with every new check shown failing on purpose

Full transcript:
`docs/proof/alerting-chain-2026-08-22/live-transcript.md`.

Chain proven, in order: the rule file lands on disk and is visible in
the container but is **not** loaded (11 rules); SIGHUP loads it (12
rules) with `restarts=0` and an unchanged `StartedAt`, so it is a reload
and not a container replacement wearing a reload's clothes; the alert
**fires**; it **arrives at Alertmanager** and is routed to receiver
`hive-ops`; Alertmanager **opens a TLS session to the real relay on the
box, authenticates, offers the owner's sender and recipient**, and
reaches the relay's own 502, which it reports verbatim in an ERROR line
rather than swallowing.

Each check shown failing:

- **Rules assertion**: run against the live box's real pre-fix state,
read only, it fails naming `SignupProvisioningSweepFailing` as missing.
- **Receiver assertion**: same run, fails with "Alertmanager has no
email delivery configured".
- **Scrape-config assertion**: with a throwaway extra job added to
`prometheus.yml` and no reload, fails naming the drift.
- **Inode-pinned mount**: reproduced by write-and-rename, host inode
3569300 against guest 2696893 with the container seeing zero occurrences
of the change, then the apply step detects it, recreates, and the change
goes live.
- **`PrometheusConfigReloadFailed`**: driven to fire on purpose with a
malformed rule file (`prometheus_config_last_reload_successful` went to
0), then recovered. Both metrics the self-check rules read were
confirmed to exist and move, not assumed from their names.
- **`recordFault` removed** (the code as it stood):
`TestReconcilerFaultRecordSurvivesIdentityAgingOut` fails, expected 1
got 0.
- **Counter closure snapshotted instead of read per scrape**:
`TestRegisterSignupProvisioningExportsBothSeries` fails, expected 3 got
0.

### Three of my own checks could not fail, and were found by trying

1. The scrape-config assertion compared two sets built by
`re.findall(r'^\s*job_name:...')`. Both files write `- job_name:` as a
list item, so the pattern matched nothing on either side, the two empty
sets compared equal, and the check reported green over a genuinely
drifted config.
2. An earlier draft asserted the absence of the string `localhost:9095`.
Alertmanager redacts webhook URLs to the literal `<secret>` in
`/api/v2/status`, measured against the box, so that assertion could
never fail. Replaced with an assertion on the delivery mechanism, which
does fail on the box's current state.
3. An earlier draft compared the served Prometheus config to the host
file byte for byte. `/api/v1/status/config` returns the config with
defaults filled in, 3309 bytes against the file's 2198, so that one
could never **pass**.

Reasons recorded in the workflow comments so the next reader does not
reintroduce them.

## Verification

- `go build ./apps/control-plane/...` and `go vet` clean.
- `go test ./apps/control-plane/internal/platform/metrics/...` green,
including the two new tests.
- The full `ci.yml` DB-gated package list run against a local
`pgvector/pgvector:pg17` bootstrapped with
`.github/ci/test-db-bootstrap.sql` plus the whole migration chain
including this PR's: every package green.
- `npm run lint:proof-tokens` green, 89 files scanned.
- Alertmanager loads the reshaped config: `route receiver: hive-ops`,
`from: no_reply@hive.scubed.co`, `to: contact@scubed.com.bd`,
`smtp_require_tls: true`, password by file reference and absent from the
served config.
- The live stack was verified unchanged after every on-box step: 19
containers up, `chat-hive` 200, `console-hive` 307, `api-hive` 401
without a key, no leftover container, no leftover directory.

**Unrelated observation, not fixed here.** `webhook_test.go` seeds
tenants with the fixed slugs `office` and `credit-check` and never
cleans them up, so `TestWebhook_HappyPath_*` fails on any **second** run
against the same database with `duplicate key value violates unique
constraint "tenants_slug_key"`. CI never sees it because CI gets a fresh
ephemeral Postgres per run. It cost me a false "did I break signup"
detour; flagged so the next person does not repeat it.

## Buglog entry

```json
{"id":"BUG-2026-08-22-alerting-chain-decorative","date":"2026-08-22","title":"Every alert went nowhere for four months: dead receiver, rules that never loaded, and a gauge that cleared itself when work was lost","error_message":"Alertmanager route receiver 'default' with webhook_configs url http://localhost:9095/webhook where nothing listens; curl localhost:9090/api/v1/rules missing SignupProvisioningSweepFailing after its deploy; hive_signup_provisioning_sweep_failures resets to 0 when the faulting identity ages out of the lookback window","root_cause":"Three independent defects on one chain. (1) The only Alertmanager receiver was a webhook to a port nothing has ever listened on, added in 0c130db on 2026-04-24, and no check asserted a delivery target. (2) prometheus.yml and alerts.yml are single-file bind mounts: git pull replaces the file and allocates a new inode, so the running container keeps showing the old copy forever, and docker compose up -d finds no reason to recreate a container when only a mounted file's contents changed, and Prometheus was never sent a reload either. Measured live: host alerts.yml inode 134312 against guest 132251. (3) recordSweep(report.Failed == 0) resets the consecutive-failure gauge, and a sweep goes clean the moment the identity that kept faulting is older than the 24 hour lookback window, so the alert resolved precisely when the loss became permanent.","fix":"Receiver is now email from no_reply@hive.scubed.co to ENTERPRISE_SMTP_ADMIN_EMAIL with the relay read from the existing ENTERPRISE_SMTP_* variables, and the config moves into docker-compose.yml as a compose configs block so Compose can interpolate it and so up -d recreates on change; unconfigured falls back to the RFC 2606 reserved smtp-not-configured.invalid so the config parses, alerts stay visible, and every send fails loudly. A deploy step applies the Prometheus bind mounts the way the Caddy step already does (recreate when the mounted copy diverges by content, SIGHUP when it matches) and a following step asserts scrape jobs, rule-file paths, every repository alert name, and the Alertmanager receiver from the live APIs. Added hive_signup_provisioning_faults_total (monotonic counter) and hive_signup_provisioning_stranded_identities (gauge over a seven day trailing window), keeping the consecutive gauge as the currently-failing signal. Prometheus now scrapes Alertmanager and itself so notification failures and rejected reloads are measurable at all. Verified against the real relay from the box: AUTH 235, sender accepted at MAIL FROM 250, blocked only by a Brevo 502 account-activation refusal that Alertmanager reports verbatim.","tags":["monitoring","prometheus","alertmanager","docker-compose","bind-mount","inode","metrics","signup","observability","silent-failure","smtp","pr-993","pr-89"]}

<details open><summary><h3>Greptile Summary</h3></summary>

The PR rewires alert delivery to SMTP, makes monitoring configuration
deployment verifiable, and adds durable signup-provisioning failure
signals. The Prometheus verification retry remains incomplete because it
waits for HTTP availability rather than the newly loaded state.

- Adds inline Alertmanager email routing and monitoring self-alerts.
- Applies and verifies Prometheus configuration and rule reloads during
deployment.
- Adds provisioning fault and stranded-identity metrics while
restricting tenant-domain writes.
</details>


<details open><summary><h3>Confidence Score: 4/5</h3></summary>

The PR is not yet safe to merge because the monitoring deployment can
still fail spuriously while Prometheus is completing a valid reload.

The reply claims the Prometheus readiness race was fixed, but the helper
only retries connection and parsing exceptions; a 200 response
containing the documented pre-reload rule state remains a concrete
counterexample and is treated as a terminal deployment failure.

live-state verification, but the readiness retry can terminate on a
stale successful response. |
| apps/control-plane/internal/signup/reconciler.go | Adds bounded
stranded-identity measurement and monotonic fault tracking while
resolving the previously reported shared-deadline starvation. |
| deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml | Moves Alertmanager routing into
interpolated Compose configuration with SMTP credentials referenced
through a password file. |
| supabase/migrations/20260822_01_tenant_email_domains_admin_only.sql |
Revokes authenticated domain-registration writes and removes the
permissive write policy. |
| deploy/prometheus/alerts.yml | Adds durable alerts for provisioning
faults and newly stranded identities. |

# Demo box backups: all four production stores, scheduled, encrypted,
restore-proven

Closes #1000. Since leaving managed Supabase, every production store on
the demo box was single-copy on one physical machine. This change puts
all four stores on a scheduled, unattended, reboot-surviving schedule
with encryption at rest, an off-box encrypted copy, a verified throwaway
restore proof executed against live production data, and a loud failure
signal reusing the existing Alertmanager routing.

## What is backed up, and how

| Store | Capture method | Why this method |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Postgres (`postgres` DB: `auth.users` identities, tenants, api keys,
credit ledger) | `pg_dump --format=custom` streamed out of
`hive-supabase-db-1` over docker exec stdout | Consistent snapshot of
the running server; no stop or restart of any service |
| Open WebUI relational state (`webui.db` on the `hive_owui-data`
volume) | SQLite online backup API inside the open-webui container,
integrity-checked before it leaves | Copying webui.db while its WAL is
active is not safe; the backup API gives a consistent copy from a live
writer |
| Open WebUI uploads (`/data/uploads`) | tar streamed via docker exec |
Plain files |
| Supabase Storage object bytes (`hive-files`, `hive-images` buckets) |
tar of `/var/lib/storage` streamed via docker exec | Object bytes sit
under a nested `stub/stub/` layout; bucket metadata rides the DB dump |

## Retention sized to measured reality

Measured 2026-08-23: db dump 2.4 MB custom format, webui.db 1.0 MB,
uploads under 8 KB compressed, storage 8 KB compressed. A full daily set
is under 4 MB.

- On-box retention: 14 daily sets, under 70 MB total, against roughly 34
GB free on the box root filesystem.
- Off-box accumulation: about 120 MB per month if never pruned;
`scripts/pull-box-backups.sh --prune` mirrors on-box retention.

## Schedule and watchdog

- systemd USER units
(`deploy/systemd-user/hive-box-backup.{service,timer}`): fires 03:15 and
15:15 UTC daily, Persistent=true catches up missed slots after downtime.
User-level because there is no sudo on the box; reboot-surviving because
Linger=yes is enabled for sakib (verified live). Installed and live on
the box since 2026-08-23 20:34 UTC, timer's first scheduled fire 03:16
UTC 2026-08-24.
- Hourly cron watchdog runs `backup-box.sh --check`: silent when fresh,
alerts when the last success exceeds 26 hours, so the death of the timer
itself surfaces within an hour.

## Failure signal

The script posts directly to Alertmanager's v2 API on the published host
port (localhost:9093), riding the existing routing tree and hive-ops
email receiver made working by #998. No new component deployed:

- `HiveBoxBackupFailed`: posted when any step errors, including a
systemd timeout kill (signal trap), auto-resolves once a later run
succeeds.
- `HiveBoxBackupStale`: posted by the watchdog on staleness.

Verified live: a forced-stale check posted successfully and appeared in
Alertmanager's list addressed to receiver hive-ops. Success runs post
nothing; resolve_timeout ends earlier failures on their own. At-a-glance
state lives in `/home/sakib/hive-backups/status/STATUS.txt` on the box.

## Restore proof, executed live against production data

`scripts/restore-box-backup.sh` verifies SHA256SUMS before decrypting
anything, stands up a throwaway Postgres from the exact production image
(`hive-supabase-db:pg16-cron`, `--network none`, no published ports),
restores with strict error filtering (any error outside a justified
allowlist fails the proof even when counts match), compares row counts
read-only against live, then destroys the throwaway. Final run
2026-08-23 21:05 UTC, exit 0:

| Table | Live | Restored | Verdict |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| public.credit_ledger_entries | 9791 | 9791 | ok |
| public.tenants | 970 | 970 | ok |
| public.api_keys | 90 | 90 | ok |
| auth.users | 166 | 166 | ok |
| auth.identities | 163 | 163 | ok |
| storage.objects | 15 | 15 | ok |

All six matched. The allowlist covers three verified categories: pg_cron
DDL (needs shared_preload config a bare container does not set), grants
to production roles that do not exist in a throwaway, and three foreign
keys PRODUCTION ITSELF violates through its retention purge (2356 + 483
+ 161 orphaned rows counted live, filed as #1102). Every row itself
restores.

Open WebUI side verified too: decrypted webui.db passes integrity_check
with chat 23=23, user 11=11, knowledge 2=2 vs live. Storage tar entry
count matches live exactly (62=62). Decrypted temps shredded after
verification.

## Off-box copy

One encrypted set pulled to the dev machine at
`/home/sakib/hive-backups/hive-demo/daily/2026-08-23` via
`scripts/pull-box-backups.sh`: rsync over ssh, encrypted artifacts only
ever cross the network, checksums reverified after arrival. The
passphrase also lives off-box at
`/home/sakib/hive-backups/etc/passphrase-hive-demo`, mode 600, so a dead
box does not take its only key down with it.

Stated plainly: a true offsite or object-store destination remains an
owner decision and is NOT closed by this PR. It is tracked in #1100 with
candidate options. Until it lands, box loss plus dev-machine co-loss
takes every copy.

## Secrets posture

- No secret value appears in this repo, this PR, any workflow log, or
any artifact. The passphrase was generated on the box, chmod 600,
outside every git checkout.
- Artifacts contain identities and chat content: they exist only under
`/home/sakib/hive-backups/` on the box and the same path on the dev
machine, both outside git checkouts. Nothing uploaded anywhere; nothing
crossed the network unencrypted.
- Alert payloads carry fixed literal strings only: alert name, host
alias, generic step name.

## Review streams (D-038)

CodeRabbit CLI: ran, 10 findings, all dispositioned in the stream
comment (7 adopted, 1 partially adopted with posted rebuttal, plus
hardening beyond the ask on restore-error filtering). ecc:code-review
plus plain adversarial pass: ran, 1 MEDIUM 3 LOW, all fixed. Security
pass (mandatory for this diff): ran via a dedicated reviewer, no
CRITICAL or HIGH, 3 MEDIUM and 4 LOW, all dispositioned in the security
stream comment; the alertmanager loopback binding and artifact
permission hardening came out of it. No stream skipped. Threads resolved
as fixes landed.

The interaction-coverage job still read SUPABASE_URL,
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL and their keys from repository secrets. After the
self-hosted Supabase cutover (PRs #982-#993) those secrets no longer name
the auth surface the web console bundle is built for, so the minted storage
state was complete and useless: every authenticated route redirected to
sign-in and the sweep measured anonymous pages only.

Web E2E already solved this by standing up a throwaway Supabase (Postgres +
GoTrue + PostgREST behind one gateway) inside the job via
scripts/ci-supabase-stack.sh and writing all five values to GITHUB_ENV.
This job does the same now: the boot step replaces the
derive-pooler-dsn.py reconstruction of the hosted project's pooler DSN, the
compose services get SUPABASE_URL_FROM_CONTAINER, the Next.js build reads
the NEXT_PUBLIC_ mirrors from GITHUB_ENV instead of re-naming the secrets
(step env would override them), and the teardown removes the throwaway
containers and network.

One source for all five values makes the cookie name the mint writes and
the cookie name the bundle expects agree by construction, which is what the
old seam message could only ask a human to check by hand.

Also moves the fixture seeder's verbose progress line from stdout to
stderr: stdout is the JSON summary the CI seed-check captures with tee and
parses whole, so a shared stream killed that check with Unexpected token
before it ever compared the addresses.

## Revival, 2026-08-24: rebased and green on today's auth surface

The stall is diagnosed and fixed. The project-ref mismatch was a theory
about two repository secrets disagreeing; what actually happened is
simpler and worse. This job read its five Supabase values from
repository secrets while main had already moved Web E2E onto a throwaway
in-job Supabase (Postgres + GoTrue + PostgREST behind one nginx gateway)
whose five values are written to `$GITHUB_ENV` by
`scripts/ci-supabase-stack.sh`. The secrets name a hosted project that
no longer backs this repo's auth surface after the self-hosted cutover
(PRs #982-#993), so the mint wrote a complete state file whose cookies
the bundle never looked for. One source for all five values makes the
mint's cookie and the bundle's expected cookie agree by construction.

What changed:

- **The CI arm boots its own throwaway Supabase**, the same arrangement
Web E2E uses (`scripts/ci-supabase-stack.sh`), instead of repository
secrets.
- **The seeder's verbose progress line moved to stderr** so the
seed-check step can JSON.parse its captured stdout; with both lines on
stdout the check died on "Unexpected token" before ever comparing
addresses.
- **The unit half stays required**: 46 cases in `gate-integrity.test.ts`
run inside the required web-unit job (green here, including after the
103-commit rebase).
- **The sweep half stays advisory per-PR** until it has a green track
record on main, then argue for required.

It went green end to end against a throwaway stack built from this
branch (own Postgres on 55433, own GoTrue and PostgREST gateway on 9001,
compose core on 18081 and 18080, Next.js on 3000):

```
routes discovered  26   visited with proven controls  22
controls           400 enumerated, 396 proven, 2 declared, 2 disabled, 0 unproven
COVERAGE           99.0%  (distinct control identities)
problems           0
```

Core routes all at 100%: `/console/api-keys` 20/20, `/console/billing`
25/25,
`/console/billing/alerts` 21/21, `/console/billing/budget` 20/20,
`/console/billing/invoices` 17/17, `/console/settings/profile` 25/25,
`/console/analytics` 30 proven plus one declared inert and one disabled.
Session establishment is proven by the same run: the setup minted
through the
admin one-time-token flow (`live-auth.mjs`) and every authenticated
route
rendered instead of redirecting.

And it is green in CI itself, not only locally: on head `ab74bc11d` the
`Interaction coverage (console controls)` job passed with the same sweep
shape (400 enumerated, 396 proven, 0 unproven, COVERAGE 99.0%, run
32807539583), alongside green Web E2E and the required web-unit job. The
one
extra fix that took was a Node 20 to Node 24 bump for this job, matching
Web
E2E: Node 20's npm rejects the current esbuild optional-dependency set
with
EBADPLATFORM before any test runs.

---

Enumerates every interactive control the console renders, activates each
one, and requires observable evidence that it did something. A control
with no proven effect fails the run.

This is a rework. An adversarial review returned BLOCK on twelve
findings, and the headline was correct: the gate had never measured a
single control in CI. Everything below is what changed.

## 1. The gate never ran, and now it does

`tests/interaction/auth.setup.ts` imported `writeStorageState` from
`../e2e/support/live-auth`. Two modules answer to that name. The type
checker resolved it to the synchronous `.ts` wrapper; Node resolved it
to the asynchronous `.mjs`. The returned promise floated, the setup
reported success in 13 milliseconds having written no storage state, and
the sweep died reading that missing file (run 31445547804). The job had
never enumerated a control, and the only symptom was an ENOENT that read
like a harness bug.

Naming the `.mjs` explicitly does not fix it either: Playwright compiles
specs to CommonJS and evaluating that in ES module scope fails with
`exports is not defined`, which takes the whole run plan down. The spec
collection guard from #843 caught that attempt, which is a good
advertisement for the guard. The setup now uses the documented command
line form, fails loudly when the state file is absent, and deletes any
state a previous run left behind.

The job also never passed `SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY`, which the mint
requires, so awaiting alone would only have moved the failure. It passes
it now. `INTERACTION_PASSWORD` is gone: nothing read it, and a
credential-shaped variable in a workflow is an invitation to wire it up.

## 2. The gate wrote to the surface it measures

Destructive controls were clicked against whatever origin the run
pointed at, with Escape pressed afterwards. Escape after a click is not
a safeguard: the request has already gone. Submissions were pre-filled
with probe values and sent for real.

**What that actually did against the live demo console.** No delete and
no revoke ever fired, and no control matching the destructive pattern
did anything but navigate. That framing was too narrow, and a later
review pass proved it: the pattern is a text match, so it says nothing
about what a control does. `Change email` on `/console/settings/profile`
calls `supabase.auth.updateUser`, matched nothing, and **was activated
in both runs**, issuing a real `PUT /auth/v1/user` each time with the
probe address in the field beside it. GoTrue records a pending change
and mails a confirmation rather than switching the address, so the
account most likely holds an unconfirmed pending change to a domain that
cannot receive mail; `auth.users.email_change` and
`email_change_token_new` want checking and clearing.

Everything that reached `https://console-hive.scubed.co` on 2026-08-08
and 2026-08-10:

| Route | Request | Effect |
| --- | --- | --- |
| /console/api-keys | `POST /api/v1/accounts/current/api-keys` | created
an API key named after the probe value, on both runs |
| /console/members | `POST /api/console/members` | sent a workspace
invitation to `interaction-gate@example.invalid` |
| /auth/sign-up | `POST /auth/v1/signup` | sign-up attempt for that same
address |
| /auth/forgot-password | `POST /auth/v1/recover` | password recovery
request for that address |
| /auth/sign-in | `POST /auth/v1/token` | failed sign-in attempt |
| /console/settings/profile | `PUT /auth/v1/user` | requested an email
change to the probe address, pending confirmation, on both runs |
| billing budget, spend alerts, reset password | client side only | no
request left the browser |

No customer data was touched and nothing was deleted, but two probe API
keys and at least one invitation are real writes on the demo tenant and
want cleaning up by hand.

The fix is one rule: **when the values in a request are the gate's own
invention, or the control's label says delete, revoke or purchase, the
request never leaves the browser.** A mutation guard on the browser
context aborts it, the application still builds and issues it, and the
interception is what proves the control is wired. The one deliberate
exception is a toggle, which invents no value, whose whole proof is that
the flip survives a reload, and which the gate flips back and now fails
if it could not.

## 3. Floors that could never hold

The old floor was a minimum control count per route, recorded against
the demo tenant. The report says two files away that instance counts are
not comparable between runs, and it is right: a CI account with an empty
workspace renders fewer rows, so the floor was either red forever or
regenerated in CI and thereafter below what the live console renders.

Replaced by the set of control identities each route must render **and
leave enabled**. The console shell renders its navigation from a static
list on every route, and each page renders its own primary action, so
the same list holds against an empty CI tenant and the live console
while still failing on a blank page, a crashed route, or a permission
regression that greys the surface out. There is no regenerate command
any more: a bar a run can rewrite is a bar a run can lower.

## 4. Proof from markup

- A disabled control counted as proven on any `title` attribute, so
greying out a page kept the gate green. Disabled is now its own bucket,
never the numerator. What fails an unexpected disable is the floor
above, which is the only place this suite asserts a control must be
usable.
- A text field counted as proven on a `name` attribute alone. It now
needs an observable consequence or a form to submit into, and the DOM
signature tracks disabled state so that typing into a field which
enables the Save button beside it registers as the effect it is.
- A toggle whose restore failed warned and still returned proven,
leaving the live setting flipped. That fails now.

## 5. Scoring nothing as everything

`ratio(0, 0)` returned 1, so `/oauth/consent` (recorded floor: zero
controls) and `/invitations/accept` reported 100% coverage of pages
nothing had ever rendered on. It returns 0, a visited route that
enumerates nothing is an integrity failure, and both routes are now
declared skips with an owner and a reason: reaching either means holding
a credential in a query string, which this gate must never hold or log.

A run that visits no route, or enumerates no control, now fails on that
fact alone. That is the exact state this gate shipped in.

## 6. Exclusions with an ending

`expectRedirect` silently removed a route from measurement and was not
treated as an exclusion at all, so it needed no owner, no issue and no
expiry. It does now, like every skip and every registry entry. The
expiry check itself used `it.runIf(token)` against a job that passed no
token, so it had never run anywhere; the web-unit job passes
`GITHUB_TOKEN` and the check fails rather than skipping when CI is set.
A tracker that will not answer is now a failure too, instead of a silent
continue.

Two exclusions are new, both citing open issues, both expiring when
those close:

- #883, the console links Documentation to `https://hivegpt.io` from
every route, and that host accepts no connection. This is the gate's
first real finding and it is a product defect, not a test problem.
- #885, `/console/api-keys/[id]/limits` needs a key to exist before
anything links to it, and the gate now refuses to create one.

## 7. Rebased, with the guards from #813, #838 and #843 intact

`failOnFlakyTests`, the flake reporter, the `probe` project and the
`chromium` `testIgnore` are all present, and both interaction specs are
pinned in `playwright-spec-manifest.json`. The two interaction projects
additionally set `retries: 0` against the repository default of two: the
sweep is one test that walks the whole console, so a retry re-walks all
of it, and a control that only works on the second attempt is the defect
this gate exists to report.

No trace and no video for these projects either. The sweep types into
password fields and a trace carries the `Authorization` header of every
request the console made, the same exposure that already stops this job
uploading the HTML report (#554). It is also expensive: a failing run
spent over ten minutes finalizing artifacts, on a job capped at sixty,
and finishes in ten seconds without them.

## 8. The CI arm cannot establish a session today, and that is the
honest status

**Do not read the `Interaction coverage (console controls)` job as a
measurement of the console yet. It is not reaching the console.**

On the latest run every authenticated route redirected to
`/auth/sign-in`, including `/no-workspace`, which needs only a session
and no workspace. So the browser carried no session the application
would accept, and the sweep measured five anonymous routes out of twenty
four. The run before it failed differently, redirecting to
`/no-workspace`, because this job's `E2E_RUN_KEY` did not match what its
addresses carried and `runScopedEmail` therefore seeded one account
while the gate signed in as another. Fixing that changed which way it
fails rather than fixing it.

What this PR does about that, rather than papering over it:

- **No `expectRedirect` declarations for those routes.** Declaring them
would convert a broken session into a documented expectation and produce
a green run that measures nothing, which is the precise failure this
gate exists to detect. They stay as integrity problems and the job stays
red.
- **The failure is named once, at the seam.** The setup now opens
`/console` with the storage state it just minted and fails there if it
lands on a sign-in page, listing what to check in order: whether
`SUPABASE_URL` and `NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL` name the same project,
since the auth cookie's name is derived from the project ref and a
mismatch yields a complete state file the app cannot see; whether the
seeded account exists on that project; and whether `E2E_RUN_KEY` is
exactly the string the addresses carry. One message with a cause beats
fifteen identical redirects with none.

**What the gate is worth in the meantime.** Its unit half, 46 cases in
`gate-integrity.test.ts`, runs in the **required** `Web console (type +
unit + build)` job and is green: the proof predicate, the floors, the
registry, exclusion expiry against the live tracker, URL redaction, and
the sign-in decisions that caused the original incident. Its sweep half
is proven to measure and proven to go red on a broken control against a
local build of this branch, and has measured 326 controls across 20
routes in CI when the session did work (run 31519164067). What is
unproven today is only the CI arm's ability to sign in.

**The expected-red list is deliberately not carried forward.** It
described run 31519164067, and the coordinator is right that the list
has to be re-derived from a run that genuinely reaches all twenty four
routes. Three findings already have issues and self-expiring
declarations: #905 (password reset answers a generic server error
instead of naming an expired link), #883 (Documentation links point at
an unreachable host), #885 (the per-key limits route is unreachable
without a key the gate refuses to create). Whether those are the whole
list is a question only a working run can answer.

## 9. Required or advisory

**Advisory, and stated plainly rather than quietly.** It is a sweep of a
whole application against a live-ish stack, so its failure modes include
the stack, the network and the seeded account, not only the console.
Making it required before it has a run history on main would block every
merge on any of those. It graduates the way rust-tests and desktop-tests
did: a track record first.

Advisory does not mean silent. The job reports its own red, and the unit
half (`gate-integrity.test.ts`, 40 tests) runs inside the **required**
web-unit job, so a malformed registry, a stale exclusion, an entry
naming a route that no longer exists, or a broken enumerator fails a
required check whether or not the sweep runs.

## Proof that it measures, and that it can go red

Run against a Next.js build of this branch, on the `/auth/sign-in`
route, with the mutation guard active. Clean, then the same route with
one control's handler neutered at the event layer
(`INTERACTION_SABOTAGE`), markup and siblings untouched.

Clean:

```
[route] /auth/sign-in -> 5 controls enumerated
  ok  /auth/sign-in  input|#email             dom
  ok  /auth/sign-in  input|#password          dom
  ok  /auth/sign-in  a|Forgot password?       navigation
  ok  /auth/sign-in  button|Continue          wired-write-blocked
  ok  /auth/sign-in  a|Create one             navigation

  controls      5 enumerated, 5 proven, 0 declared, 0 disabled, 0 unproven
  COVERAGE      100.0%  (distinct control identities)
  1 passed (11.0s)                                                    EXIT=0
```

`wired-write-blocked` on the submit is the guard doing its job: the page
built its sign-in request and the gate stopped it inside the browser, so
no credential attempt left the machine.

Sabotaged (`INTERACTION_SABOTAGE=Continue`):

```
[sabotage] handlers blocked for: Continue
  ok  /auth/sign-in  input|#email             dom
  ok  /auth/sign-in  input|#password          dom

  ok  /auth/sign-in  a|Create one             navigation

      unproven: activation produced no request, no navigation, and no change
      to the rendered output (form pre-filled: email, password)

  Error: controls with no proven effect (control surface coverage 80.0%)
  1 failed                                                            EXIT=1
```

Same page, same markup, one dead handler, and the gate says which
control and why.

Local verification: `npx tsc --noEmit` clean, `npm run test:unit` 531
tests across 44 files including 40 in `gate-integrity.test.ts`, `npm run
e2e:verify-collection` clean at 38 collected files. The exclusion expiry
check was additionally run both ways: it fails with `CI=1` and no token,
and passes against the live tracker with one.

## Buglog entry

```json
{"id":"interaction-gate-floating-mint","date":"2026-08-11","area":"apps/web-console/tests/interaction","error_message":"Error reading storage state from tests/interaction/.auth/user.json: ENOENT","root_cause":"An extensionless import of ../e2e/support/live-auth resolved to the synchronous .ts wrapper for tsc and to the asynchronous .mjs at run time. The unawaited promise floated, so the setup passed in 13ms without minting a session, and the sweep failed three hundred lines later on the missing file. The job also never passed SUPABASE_SERVICE_ROLE_KEY, so the mint would have thrown even once awaited.","fix":"Call the documented live-auth.mjs command line form from the setup, assert the state file exists before the sweep may run, and pass the service role key in the workflow. Naming the .mjs in an import is not an alternative: Playwright's CommonJS output fails with 'exports is not defined' in ES module scope.","tags":["playwright","test-infrastructure","silent-failure","module-resolution"]}
