Row 104: docker/vacuum-site-localdb.sh stops both nodes of a pair together, sets
auto_vacuum=INCREMENTAL + VACUUM on each node volume with integrity_check before/after,
then starts both (DRY_RUN=1 reports). Run on all three rig pairs: six files 0 -> 2, ok,
~11% smaller; site-a replication reconnected with backlog 0 and no watermark change —
VACUUM is replication-invisible (ledger keys by declared PK, oplog seq is INTEGER PRIMARY
KEY AUTOINCREMENT). Topology guide gains the recipe.
Row 105: SiteLocalDbReplicatedTableFkGuardTests builds the real site schema via OnReady
(unreplicated config so 0.3.3's own guard cannot mask the culprit) and asserts every
SiteLocalDbSetup.ReplicatedTables entry (now internal) exists and has no inbound
CASCADE/SET NULL/SET DEFAULT foreign key, with a negative control. The constraint is
enforced at build instead of at the first replicated boot.
Row 106 (found during 104's live verification, NOT caused by it — the identical 127k-row
full snapshot also landed at the earlier deploy restart): SnapshotStreamer.SendAsync stamps
as_of_seq = MAX(seq), which is 0 once a converged sender's oplog is ack-pruned to empty;
a zero-watermark receiver (rebuilt node) is never lifted, so the empty-oplog horizon rule
re-streams a full snapshot on every reconnect. Sender-side one-line fix for LocalDb 0.3.4:
as_of_seq = max(MAX(seq), last_acked_seq).
P5-3: add IX_Notifications_Created_NotificationId (CreatedAt DESC,
NotificationId DESC) — the Central UI Notification Outbox list page sorts on
exactly that pair, but no existing index leads unconditionally on CreatedAt,
so an unfiltered/lightly filtered page fell back to a full clustered-index
scan + sort on every COUNT + page request. Mirrors the Medium wave's
IX_SiteCalls_Created_TrackedOperationId migration + SQL twin pattern
faithfully, including the handwritten docs/plans/sql script.
P5-4: operator Retry/Discard was read-check-write keyed on NotificationId
only — a detached PipeTo task interleaving with the dispatcher's own write
(or a second concurrent operator action) could land between the read and
the write and get silently clobbered by the unconditional UpdateAsync,
stamping a Delivered row Discarded with stale fields. Adds
INotificationOutboxRepository.TryUpdateFromParkedAsync, a single-statement
compare-and-swap (WHERE Status == Parked) mirroring
SecuredWriteRepository.TryMarkApprovedAsync's CAS shape. NotificationOutboxActor's
RetryAsync/DiscardAsync now use the CAS write and, on a lost race, re-read
to report "notification already progressed to <Status>" instead of silently
overwriting whatever is there now.
Proof of failure: reverting only the actor's CAS usage while keeping the
repository addition reproduces the silent-overwrite bug — 7 tests fail,
including two new deterministic (non-sleep) race-proof tests that mock the
exact GetByIdAsync -> lost-CAS -> re-read sequence the finding describes.
P5-3 is perf-only; verified via migration/SQL-twin parity instead (no
runtime proof-of-failure is meaningful for an index).
LoginThrottle keyed failures only as {username}|{ip}, so a password spray
from one IP against many distinct usernames never accumulated
MaxLoginFailuresPerWindow failures on any single pair and was never
throttled, despite the class doc claiming spray protection.
Add a secondary per-IP counter (SecurityOptions.PerIpMaxFailures, default
25, validated strictly greater than MaxLoginFailuresPerWindow) that shares
the existing fixed window/lockout machinery but tracks failures by IP
alone. IsLockedOut now refuses a bind when either the per-pair or the
per-IP counter is locked. RecordSuccess clears only the per-pair counter
(never the per-IP one), so a spray that stumbles onto one valid account
cannot use that success to reset its IP budget and keep spraying; window
expiry is the only relief for the per-IP counter. Per-pair behavior for
normal (non-spray) flows is unchanged.
Updates the class doc and Component-Security.md to describe the two-tier
model instead of the single-tier spray claim.
P6-4: HandleListDataConnections took no user at all and returned EVERY
site's connections to any authenticated caller, nullifying the row-98
fail-closed gate on HandleGetDataConnection — Get denied exactly what List
handed over. DataConnectionPublicShape already scrubs secrets, so the leak
was site topology plus a connection-id existence oracle, but it still
defeated scoping. List now takes the AuthenticatedUser: an explicit SiteId
goes through EnforceSiteScope (the ListAreas shape), and an unfiltered list
from a site-scoped non-Administrator caller is narrowed to their permitted
sites (the ListSites shape). GetRequiredRoles is untouched — scoping is not
a role gate, so the frozen 138-command authz matrix is unaffected.
The Central UI Design > Connections page bypasses the actor entirely
(ISiteRepository.GetAllDataConnectionsAsync direct) and IS reachable by a
scoped user: it is gated RequireDesign, and SiteScopeService explicitly does
NOT exempt Designer (register row 86). It now filters sites through
SiteScope.FilterSitesAsync and keeps only their connections, mirroring
EventLogs/AlarmSummary.
P6-5: four handlers resolved their target — and on approve/reject reported
its status — BEFORE the scope check, so an out-of-scope caller could tell a
real id from a fake one, and read a secured write's lifecycle status, from
the error shape alone. The scope check is hoisted above the not-found and
status checks in HandleSubmitSecuredWrite, HandleApproveSecuredWrite,
HandleRejectSecuredWrite and HandleDebugSnapshot, with the unresolvable case
routed through the existing DenyUnresolvedTargetIfScoped so the denial is
identical whether or not the target exists. System-wide callers keep their
ordinary not-found/status answers, and the P6-1 CAS semantics on
approve/reject are unchanged (only the checks above the CAS moved).
Tests: 8 new ManagementService tests + 2 CentralUI bUnit tests, all verified
to FAIL against the unfixed handlers (src reverted, tests re-run) and pass
after — including the unscoped/Administrator control cases proving behaviour
for system-wide callers is unchanged. Full ManagementService.Tests 545 green,
CentralUI.Tests 1073 green.
P5-1: AuditLogIngestActor.OnCachedTelemetryAsync's per-entry fallback loop
(used when the cached-telemetry batch fast path fails) ran with no
budget/cancellation, unlike OnIngestAsync's fallback. A slow/wedged DB could
freeze the central ingest singleton's mailbox for minutes. The loop now runs
under its own fresh IngestFallbackBudget CancellationTokenSource (mirroring
OnIngestAsync), passes the token into BeginTransactionAsync/
InsertIfNotExistsAsync/UpsertAsync, and stops early on budget exhaustion,
logging how many entries were left for the periodic reconciliation pull to
pick up.
P5-2: SiteCallAuditRepository.QueryAsync ordered by
(CreatedAtUtc DESC, TrackedOperationId DESC) with no index leading
unconditionally on CreatedAtUtc, forcing a full scan+sort on an unfiltered
page. Added IX_SiteCalls_Created_TrackedOperationId (migration
AddSiteCallsListSortIndex + matching hand-written production-parity script
under docs/plans/sql/). Also switched the query from FromSqlInterpolated
(which binds string filters as nvarchar(4000)) to FromSqlRaw with explicitly
SqlDbType.VarChar-typed parameters, matching the SiteCalls columns'
IsUnicode(false) declaration and the write path's existing Param(...)
pattern, so seeks — including the keyset predicate — are no longer blocked
by an implicit conversion.
Tests: new AuditLogIngestActorCombinedTelemetryTests case proves the
fallback budget bounds the wait (hanging repo stub, ~5s not indefinite),
that remaining entries are skipped, and that a non-default/cancellable
token reaches the repository call; verified fail-unfixed by reverting the
actor change (test times out at its 20s bound). Existing
SiteCallAuditRepositoryTests QueryAsync/keyset/stuck-cutoff cases (real
MSSQL) confirm the raw-SQL rewrite still returns correct pages.
P4-2: SqliteAuditWriter.FlushBatch completed each pending row's Task
(TrySetResult) inside the per-row insert loop, before transaction.Commit()
ran. A later failure in the same batch (another row's insert throwing, or
the commit itself failing) rolled the whole transaction back, but the
earlier rows' Tasks had already completed successfully -- the caller and
FallbackAuditWriter (whose ring-buffer fallback exists precisely for this
outage) both saw false success while the rows were actually gone from the
database; the outer catch's TrySetException became a silent no-op against
an already-completed TaskCompletionSource. Every row's Completion is now
deferred and only resolved (TrySetResult for the whole batch, or
TrySetException for the whole batch) after transaction.Commit() succeeds
or the transaction rolls back, mirroring SiteEventLogger.FlushBatch.
P4-4: EventLogPurgeService gated the daily site_events purge on the
active-node check, early-exiting on the standby, on the stale premise that
"the standby receives no writes". DataConnectionActor runs on both site
nodes and writes site_events regardless of active/standby status (register
rows 89/90/97), so an unreplicated standby (the rig's site-b/site-c
posture) grew its site_events file forever with no retention and no cap.
The gate is removed; every node now purges its own file every tick. Safe
on a replicated pair because the retention/cap deletes are CDC-captured
and converge under LWW regardless of which node issues them; required on
an unreplicated pair because each node's file is independent. The
active-node check is retained only to annotate the purge tick's log line.
Tests: new SqliteAuditWriterCommitFailureTests forces a genuine
non-swallowed mid-batch INSERT failure via a real SQLite trigger + custom
scalar function on the writer's own connection (reflection seam), proving
(a) a row whose own insert succeeded still faults when a later row in the
same batch fails, and (b) FallbackAuditWriter rings every faulted row and
increments the failure counter for each -- both assertions fail against
the pre-fix code (proof-of-failure verified by temporarily reverting the
fix). EventLogPurgeServiceTests' standby case is inverted to assert the
purge now runs (not skips) on a standby node.
Reject read the row as Pending, then landed a blind full-row UpdateAsync. A
concurrent approve could win its own Pending->Approved CAS in that gap and enter
the multi-second WriteTagAsync relay; the reject's update then stamped
Status/ExecutedAtUtc/ExecutionError to Rejected mid-relay, so the two-person-control
record said Rejected for a write that physically executed at the plant. Works
cross-node (both centrals share one MS SQL).
- ISecuredWriteRepository/SecuredWriteRepository: new TryMarkRejectedAsync,
mirroring TryMarkApprovedAsync exactly (conditional UPDATE ... WHERE
Status='Pending', writes only the columns the reject transition owns). No schema
change, no migration, no rowversion column.
- HandleRejectSecuredWrite: uses the CAS; on loss re-reads the row and returns the
status that actually won (same UX shape as approve's lost-race error), and emits
the SecuredWriteReject audit row ONLY on a won CAS.
- Audited the other lifecycle writes: approve/reject/expiry (inline + the
opportunistic list sweep) now ALL transition only out of Pending, so winning the
approve CAS gives that leg exclusive ownership of the row and its post-relay
Executed/Failed update stays safe as an unconditional write. Documented in place.
- Tests: repository-level approve-vs-reject races in both orders (exactly one wins,
loser false, row reflects the winner only) plus reject-vs-expiry; handler-level
lost-race reject (conflict error, no write, no audit row) and approve on an
already-rejected row (no CAS, no relay, no audit).
The WP-4 runs measured the stream path only up to the bounded send channel;
the probe deliberately substituted the socket hop with a controllable reader,
which is exactly where the R2 SiteStreamEventBatcher lives — so batching had
never been in any benchmark's hot path. The harness now also attaches per-site
wire probes: a real Kestrel h2c listener hosting the production
SiteStreamGrpcServer, dialed by the production SiteStreamGrpcClient with
batching negotiated, batch sizes read from the production batch_size histogram
via a MeterListener (--wire-probes-per-site, default 10; 0 restores the old
shape). Full-scale run (10x500x75, 20-min window, results doc §8 + raw JSON):
899,807 events in 12,462 frames (mean 72.2 ev/frame, p50=p99=75), wire P99
43.4 ms vs the 250 ms budget — every batch pays the full 25 ms linger since a
75-event burst never hits the 100 cap — zero drops, zero faults, offered load
100.0% of nominal with fan-out doubled. CI smoke Fact now asserts the wire
path carries traffic and observes frames.
The gauge test polls baseline+1, but the process-global gauge's baseline is
captured once: a parallel class's streams closing after capture lowers the
gauge below baseline+1 forever. Survey confirmed only SiteStreamGrpcServerTests
and CleanupVerificationTests drive the real SubscribeInstance handler that
moves the counter; both now share the SiteStreamSubscriberGauge collection
(row-96 pattern). 4/4 full-suite runs green, durations unchanged.
Row 79 executed its own prescribed remedy without waiting for a second
corruption: all ten rig data dirs (8 docker/ nodes + 2 docker-env2/ site
nodes) move from virtiofs bind mounts to named docker volumes
(scadabridge-<node>-data), seeded in place with both rigs stopped and
live-verified (site-a localDbReplicationConnected=true / backlog 0 over
the migrated files; env2 stable, 0 restarts). The feared inspectability
loss is moot — OrbStack exposes volumes at ~/OrbStack/docker/volumes/.
The rebuild surfaced latent env2 drift (pre-Secrets-0.6.2 image): env2
now carries the x-secrets-store-env posture + central data volumes.
Row 93's silent maintenance trap is now loud: SiteEventsSchemaCalibrationTests
pins the site_events columns/indexes the EventLogPurgeService size model is
calibrated against, failing with a pointer to the memo §4 recalibration on
any schema drift. Rows 92 (accepted by design) and 94 (standing tripwire)
annotated accordingly.
ReadStoreSnapshotAsync's snapshot is read off the actor thread and consumed only
when its piped message lands. Row 101 guarded the DEFINITIONS half of that race;
the CONFIG half was left to machinery whose reach is time-limited, and both legs
of the instance reconcile sweep were reachable through it:
- Row-72 leg: a read dispatched before a deploy's persist, landing after the
deploy completed AND after the pipeline released ownership, carries the
revision the deploy replaced. TryRestartStaleInstance then "repairs" the
instance BACKWARD, re-deploying the snapshot's own superseded ConfigJson.
InstanceIsOwnedByADeployPipeline covers only in-flight deploys, and the
per-revision claim has never seen the old revision, so nothing stopped it.
- Row-78 leg: a read dispatched before a delete/disable commits still shows an
enabled row while the actor is already stopped, so StartStoredInstance
resurrects it — and delete clears _sweepAttemptedRevisions, freeing the claim.
Both verified real by neutralising the freshness check and re-running the new
tests (the fail-before site event literally reads "running revision rev-2 is
stale, applying stored revision rev-1"; the deleted instance came back).
_definitionsWriteGeneration becomes _storeWriteGeneration, covering both tables
(the snapshot is one consistent read and is discarded whole, so one counter is
the right shape); DefinitionsGenerationAtRead -> StoreGenerationAtRead on both
internal records. The generation is now bumped at BOTH ends of every mutation —
when the off-thread write is dispatched and when its completion message lands —
because the config paths advance actor state before the write, so an
initiation-only bump would let an in-window read look fresh. Disable, delete and
the init-failure rollback have no actor-thread completion message of their own,
so a minimal StoreWriteCompleted self-message carries the bump for them.
CDC-replicated writes, snapshot resyncs, restored files and
SiteReconciliationActor's fetch deliberately do NOT bump: discovering exactly
those is the sweep's reason to exist.
A stale sweep result is now dropped WHOLE (no overlay apply, no start, no
restart). A stale boot load cannot be dropped — startup must finish — so it
re-dispatches LoadDeployedConfigs(); a fifth consecutive superseded read is
applied anyway with a Warning, and a late one arriving after the boot completed
is dropped rather than looping against the S5 retry timer.
Tests: three fail-before regressions (backward restart, resurrection, boot
re-read) plus two guard twins pinning that the legitimate row-72 restart and
row-78 start still fire on a current-generation snapshot. The row-101
definitions tests keep passing; FreshEmptySweepSnapshot's hardcoded generation
moves 1 -> 2 now that one artifact apply bumps at both ends.
Docs: Component-SiteRuntime.md's stale-snapshot paragraph now describes the
whole snapshot (both halves, both consumers, the boot re-dispatch, the
CDC-no-bump rule), the components mirror follows, and the arbitration memo gains
§11 extending §10 to the config half.
An off-thread snapshot read racing an artifact apply could land after the
apply populated the overlay; its stale absences then tombstoned and stopped
just-applied LIVE connections, which nothing re-creates until an instance
redeploy (the removal evicts the hash slot the overlay push is gated on).
Each read now captures a definitions-write generation at dispatch; a stale
result is discarded whole (additions too — a stale row would reconfigure a
live connection backward). Deterministic repro fails before the fix; a
fresh-generation guard test pins that row-90 disappearance still fires.
`DataConnectionManagerActor.HandleCreateConnection` is create-only (warns and
returns for a name it already holds), so `EnsureDclConnection`'s documented
"a changed config re-issues the create so the DCL adopts it" was never true on
ANY node: a corrected endpoint/credential/backup/failover-count took effect only
when the connection was next built from scratch (node restart, singleton
failover, remove-then-re-add), while the DM's hash cache recorded it as applied.
Rows 89/90 made that honest with a Warning; this closes it.
New `ReconfigureConnectionCommand` (Commons, same shape as the create):
- `DeploymentManagerActor.EnsureDclConnection` now has three outcomes off its one
per-name hash slot — unchanged -> nothing at all, new -> create, CHANGED ->
reconfigure — and logs "Reconfigured DCL connection {Connection}
(protocol={Protocol}) in place" at Information in place of the old Warning. The
winner-resolution / arbitration / tombstone logic is untouched; only what
happens after a change is detected changed.
- `DataConnectionManagerActor` FORWARDS the command to the owning connection
actor, falling back to a create for a name it does not hold, so the command is
safe whatever the manager's state.
- `DataConnectionActor` handles it in ALL THREE states and never stashes it — a
connection pointed at a wrong or dead endpoint lives in Connecting/Reconnecting,
which is exactly when a correction arrives; stashed it would wait on the broken
configuration forever. Handling replaces protocol/primary/backup/failover-count,
re-arms endpoint selection to Primary (the new config's primary is the intent,
whatever the old config had failed over to), and calls the new shared
`SwapAdapter` helper — now used by both failover sites too, so the swap exists
once: unhook + fire-and-forget dispose -> _factory.Create -> rewire -> bump
_adapterGeneration LAST. `BecomeReconnecting(afterReconfigure: true)` then
reconnects immediately (StartSingleTimer replaces any armed reconnect, so no
racing attempts) with the unstable-disconnect accounting and failover check
suppressed — the link was dropped on purpose, and counting it as an unstable
cycle could trip a failover onto the NEW backup before the new primary had been
tried once. ReSubscribeAll/ReSubscribeAllAlarms then re-issue everything from
the untouched subscription registries. Idempotent: a reconfigure carrying the
configuration already in force is a no-op.
Stop-and-recreate was rejected as destructive: subscriptions live inside
DataConnectionActor and InstanceActor cancels its subscribe-retry timer on first
success, so a rebuilt actor would have no subscribers and nothing would ever
re-subscribe.
Tests: new DataConnectionReconfigureTests (7; 5 fail / 2 pass against a
behavioural revert). DclConnectionArbitrationTests gains two row-97 tests and its
CDC-arrival test now asserts the second push is a reconfigure; its ping-pong
guard also asserts zero reconfigures, since a flip would now show up there.
SiteRuntime-010 renamed to ..._ReissuesReconfigureCommand. 3 fail against a
reverted EnsureDclConnection. DataConnectionLayer.Tests 327/327,
SiteRuntime.Tests 643/643, solution build 0 warnings.
Docs: Component-DataConnectionLayer.md gains an "In-place reconfiguration"
section under Endpoint Redundancy; Component-SiteRuntime.md, and the
docs/components/ mirrors, updated; the arbitration decision memo gains an
appended §9 postscript resolving its residual 1 (residuals 2 and 3 stay open).
Register row 98 — the site-scope authorization gate was FAIL-OPEN on an
unresolvable target. The resolve-then-check shape was written as
`if (target != null) EnforceSiteScope(...)`, so a null resolve skipped the
check entirely and a site-scoped caller passed the gate for any id in the
system. Authorization now fails CLOSED: a target that cannot be PROVEN to sit
inside the caller's scope is treated as outside it.
The defect turned out to have THREE more instances than the register recorded.
Besides `EnforceSiteScopeForInstance` and `EnforceSiteScopeForIdentifier`, the
same inline shape sat in `HandleGetInstance`, `HandleGetSite` and
`HandleGetDataConnection` — read handlers that resolve their own target and so
never call the helpers. Those were the sharper half of the bug: they answered
success-with-null for a nonexistent id and Unauthorized for an out-of-scope
one, making the pair an id-enumeration oracle over the whole fleet. All five
now route through one shared `DenyUnresolvedTargetIfScoped` arm.
Two properties are load-bearing and pinned by tests:
- System-wide callers (Administrator, or a Deployer with no site grants) are
untouched — they return at the guards above the lookup and keep the
handler's ordinary "not found" / null answer.
- The denial is indistinguishable from an out-of-scope denial: same
ManagementUnauthorized shape, and a message that never states whether the
target exists.
Register row 99 — CLI `audit query --status delivered` failed client-side while
the server would have accepted it: `AcceptOnlyFromAmong` matches ordinally
against the capitalised literals. Same treatment row 88 gave `deploy status` —
the client-side gate is removed, the valid set moves into the option help text,
and the server becomes the single authoritative check.
That required ADDING the server check, not just relying on one: the shared
audit filter parser was LAX, silently dropping an unrecognised value and
leaving the dimension unconstrained — so removing the CLI gate alone would have
turned a loud client-side failure into a plausible, complete-looking page that
did not answer the question asked. New `ParseEnumListStrict` (case-insensitive,
rejects ordinals — `Enum.TryParse` accepts "3", and a filter is a name-based
contract) backs the ManagementService /api/audit/query + /api/audit/export
endpoints, which now return 400 BAD_REQUEST naming the valid set.
Other AcceptOnlyFromAmong sites surveyed in the audit group: `--channel`,
`--kind`, `--status` on BOTH `query` and `export` (6 uses) plus `export
--format` (rejected `--format CSV` though the server lowercases it) — all seven
fixed here. Deliberately left alone: `template folder reorder --direction`
(pure client-side literal, no server-side parse to defer to) and the global
`--format json|table` (CLI-local output selection, never sent to a server).
The CentralUI AuditLogPage drill-in parser and the CentralUI export endpoint it
feeds deliberately KEEP the lax parse — they read a query string a human may
have bookmarked, where a stale fragment must still render the page. Both
contracts now live side by side in AuditQueryParamParsers and are documented as
non-reconcilable.
Docs: Component-ManagementService.md gains a "Site-scope gate: fail-closed on
an unresolvable target" section and a strict-filter note on the audit
endpoints; Component-Security.md records the fail-closed shape under Deployer
site scoping; the CLI README marks the audit filter values case-insensitive and
states the no-silent-drop / no-ordinals contract.
Tests: 5 new ManagementActorTests fail before the row-98 fix (verified by
reverting ManagementActor.cs) and cover scoped+nonexistent -> denied,
system-wide+nonexistent -> unchanged (both Administrator and no-grant Deployer),
scoped+in-scope -> allowed, and the indistinguishability property. 21 CLI tests
fail before the row-99 fix. Four pre-existing tests that pinned the removed
client-side gate were rewritten to pin the new contract.
The compile cache was a `static` class, so its entry table and its Hits/Count
counters were one process-global blob every test class in the SiteRuntime
assembly wrote into. Row 91 last wave neutered the resulting flakes (per-test
GUID keys + one-sided counter bounds), but the shared mutable state itself
remained: any test calling Clear() evicted entries other parallel classes had
just inserted, and a Clear() from a class outside the serialized collection
would degrade the others to recompiles and re-open the row-91 flake class.
PREMISE CORRECTION: the register speculated production clears "per-instance or
per-deployment script entries" and offered ClearKeys(prefix) as the natural fit.
There are NO production callers of Clear() at all — grep of src/ finds only
GetOrAdd (ScriptCompilationService.CompileCore). Clear() existed solely so
tests could reset the global. A key-scoped API would therefore have been new
production surface built for nobody, so the instance-scoped seam is the fix and
Clear() is deleted outright rather than migrated.
- SiteScriptCompileCache: `internal static class` -> `internal sealed class`;
Cache/EvictionLock/_hits/_accessSequence become instance fields. LRU batch
eviction, the double-checked sweep and the ConcurrentDictionary.ToArray()
snapshot are byte-for-byte the same policy. Clear() removed.
- ScriptCompilationService owns one cache. Public ctor (the DI path) builds its
own; a new internal ctor takes one for tests. Production N4 sharing is
unchanged and now rests on the DI SINGLETON registration — the one service
instance is threaded to DeployCompileValidator and to every Instance Actor —
so that lifetime is load-bearing and is pinned by a new registration test.
- Tests: all three Clear() callers migrated off it. Each test now owns its cache,
which lets the assertions get STRONGER — the row-91 workarounds are retired:
Hits/Count are exact again (no >= baseline bounds), the per-test GUID key
token is gone, and ForeignEntrySlack (512 entries of allowance on the bound)
drops to the racing-thread count in the concurrency test. New test
SeparateCaches_DoNotShareEntriesOrCounters pins the scoping directly: filling
one cache past MaxEntries leaves another's entry, hit count and identity
intact. DeploymentWarmThenGateTests additionally asserts Count == 1 now that
its counter is private.
- The [Collection("SiteScriptCompileCache")] serialization from row 91 is
RELAXED (removed from all three classes) — they no longer touch any shared
state, so there is nothing left to serialize.
- Docs: Component-SiteRuntime.md gains the ownership/singleton note and drops
the Clear() reference; DeploymentManagerActor / DeployCompileValidator /
ServiceCollectionExtensions comments corrected to say where the cache lives.
Build: 0 warnings. SiteRuntime.Tests 643/643, three consecutive full-parallel
runs. AuditLog.Tests correlation classes (other ScriptCompilationService
consumers) green.
maxParallelThreads was unset everywhere and only 3 of ~20 test projects carried
an xunit.runner.json at all, so xunit ran Environment.ProcessorCount collections
at once (14 on the dev box) in every suite. That is the general load multiplier
behind the row-82/91/95 flake family.
Policy: per-suite caps, NOT a global one. Pure unit suites stay uncapped for
speed; a suite gets a config only when a test CLASS costs a real external or
OS-level resource, so ProcessorCount of them at once is a resource question
rather than a CPU question. Four suites qualify, all capped at
maxParallelThreads: 4.
- ConfigurationDatabase.Tests, AuditLog.Tests, SiteCallAudit.Tests — verified as
the three that actually take MsSqlMigrationFixture (the latter two by project
reference). Every MSSQL-backed test class means a CREATE DATABASE plus the
~100-migration chain against the one shared dev SQL Server. 4 is chosen to
MATCH the default slot count of row 82's cross-process sp_getapplock migrate
semaphore, so the in-process and cross-process limits agree rather than
fighting.
- Host.Tests — classes boot real ASP.NET Core hosts and real ActorSystems;
Akka.Remote binds real sockets, Kestrel binds real ports, gRPC dials them.
Threads are capped, collections are NOT serialized. IntegrationTests
(parallelizeAssembly/parallelizeTestCollections false) and
CentralUI.PlaywrightTests (maxParallelThreads 1) already carry stricter
pre-existing settings and are left alone — the Playwright suite drives a browser
against a live rig, where shared UI state, not CPU, is the constraint.
Each capped csproj gains
<Content Include="xunit.runner.json" CopyToOutputDirectory="PreserveNewest" />;
the SDK does not copy it automatically and without it the file is silently
ignored. Verified by moving the copied file out of bin/ to take an uncapped
baseline: ConfigurationDatabase.Tests ran at 216 % CPU uncapped vs 145 % capped,
so the cap demonstrably takes effect.
Cost is close to nil — these suites are latency-bound on an external resource,
not CPU-bound (14-25 % utilisation for the two slowest). Standalone, uncapped ->
capped: AuditLog 383 tests 1m52s -> 1m51s; Host 520 tests 4m05s -> 4m08s;
ConfigurationDatabase 396 tests 10s -> 12s; SiteCallAudit 66 tests 8s -> 8s. All
green.
docs/test_infra/test_infra.md gains a Test Parallelism Policy section: the two
axes (in-process collection threads = this cap; cross-process solution-level
dotnet test = unbounded in general, bounded on the DB-migration path by the
sp_getapplock semaphore), the per-suite table with reasons, the rules (cap
threads rather than serialize; a cap is not a substitute for test isolation; the
Content copy is required), and the default for new projects (no config until the
project acquires a per-class external resource). test_infra_db.md cross-links it
from the semaphore bullet.
