Owner decision (b), 2026-11-09. PendingUpdatesEvaluator re-flattened every
deployed instance on each cache-TTL expiry even when nothing had changed.
- Migration AddConfigGraphRowVersions: a non-concurrency rowversion column
+ index on the 18 configuration tables the evaluation reads (Templates +
5 member tables, Instances + 4 override/binding tables, DataConnections,
DeployedConfigSnapshots, Sites, SharedScripts, ExternalSystemDefinitions,
ExternalSystemMethods, DatabaseConnectionDefinitions). SQL Server only in
the model; SQLite test contexts are untouched. Script:
docs/plans/sql/AddConfigGraphRowVersions.sql. Joins the coordinated
central-pair migration window (#107 item 4).
- IConfigGraphWatermarkReader / ConfigGraphWatermarkReader: ONE query of
MAX(RowVersion) + COUNT_BIG(*) per table (count catches deletes, which
raise no rowversion). rowversion is engine-bumped for any writer, so a
peer central node's edit moves it — not the per-process watermark MG-3
removed.
- The secret store (outside the DB) gets its own stamp: SHA-256 over
ListAsync(includeDeleted: true) metadata.
- Evaluator re-serves the last CLEAN snapshot while watermark + secret
stamp are unchanged; every PendingUpdatesFullEvaluationEvery'th (default
10, validated >= 1, 1 = off) is full regardless — the safety net for a
same-KEK re-wrap or an input table missing from the set. Always full when
the token is unavailable/unreadable, after an evaluation that could not
compute a site's artifact hash, on Re-check, and after a deploy completion.
It only re-serves a real earlier answer, never manufactures one.
Tests: SQL Server (real migrated DB) — token stable without writes, moves
for a peer-connection INSERT/UPDATE and a non-max DELETE, moves for a local
EF write, a detached Update still saves (not a concurrency token), and a
guard that every table the evaluator's repository reads touch is covered.
Evaluator — reuse without flatten (re-served answer still shows the stale
instance), watermark move, 4 secret changes, every-Nth, 5 no-token modes,
unclean evaluation not reused, cache Re-check and deploy completion force
full. Mutation-proven: token compare, clean check, cache force flag, row
count, and an uncovered read each turn tests red.
