fix(dr): open the restore snapshot under the live store settings (BACKLOG #1561) - #1138
wshallwshall wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
…s PHI Full restore verification built a bare StoreSettings to open the extracted snapshot, so an encrypted snapshot opened under the identity cipher: no key, no keyring, no provider. PRAGMA quick_check passed anyway, and the verify reported PASS having proved nothing about whether a single PHI cell was readable. Adding the decrypt pass without the settings fix turns that into the opposite and worse failure -- a perfectly good encrypted archive reported FAIL, which would teach a deploying operator that their backup is bad when it is fine, and a disaster-recovery check that cries wolf gets switched off. Four changes: 1. Thread the live StoreSettings into _verify_archive_blocking and on into _full_open_check, substituting only the path (and the backend, which the archive member is by construction). model_copy, not a rebuilt object, so a field added to StoreSettings later rides along instead of being dropped. 2. Add _decrypt_check: decrypt AND authenticate the snapshot's cipher-covered cells under the store's own cipher, with the same cell-bound AAD the store writes. A bit-flipped AEAD cell passes quick_check and every row count, so this is the half that makes the check worth running. VerifyResult now carries decrypted_cells -- a count, never a plaintext. 3. Bind the store before the try in _full_open_check, so an open that raises surfaces its own cause rather than a cleanup error over the top of it. 4. ADR 0049: correct the full_restore_verify prose, which claimed the open ran through the cipher, and add AC-13. Scope of the decrypt pass, stated rather than implied: it covers the store's own id-keyed _CIPHER_COLUMNS declaration. The cipher-covered tables whose AAD binds to a composite or natural key are enumerated only as code inside the store's bespoke passes, so widening this means giving the store one declaration to publish -- a separate change.

LANDER: PR 1126 and PR 1138 ARE THE SAME FEATURE, built twice under two item numbers. Neither should merge until one is withdrawn. Posting this on both. THE EVIDENCE, measured rather than inferred from the titles. The Overlap on the rest: 113 of the 126 added lines in PR 1138's PR 1126 is the superset. It additionally changes WHY THIS NEEDED SAYING NOW rather than at merge time. Two PRs implementing one feature against different bases do not necessarily conflict textually. Whichever lands second can merge clean and double-apply, and the merge queue will not report anything. This is the failure mode that does not announce itself, which is why I am recording it while both are still unmergeable rather than discovering it on the second merge. WHAT I AM NOT DOING YET. I am not closing PR 1138, because PR 1126 has not proved it can land and I will not discard the fallback before the preferred one is green. PR 1126 currently reads BLOCKED: ON PR 1126's OTHER RED, so it is not mistaken for a reason to prefer PR 1138: That leg intermittently times out starting NEITHER DIFF HAS BEEN READ AT HUNK GRANULARITY YET. This comment establishes the relationship only. A read verdict follows separately, and neither will be enqueued before one. |

LANDER: I cancelled the heavy CI runs on this branch. Recording it here rather than leaving you to find a CANCELLED conclusion with no explanation. WHY. The merge queue's position 1 had a WHY THIS BRANCH SPECIFICALLY, and it is not a judgement about the work. This PR is 14 commits behind WHAT IT COSTS YOU, stated plainly because I under-priced it when I acted. The cancellation lands a WHAT I DID NOT DO. I did not close this PR, did not touch the branch, and am not asking anyone to. Whoever owns it decides what happens to it. ONE THING WORTH KNOWING BEFORE YOU SPEND EFFORT HERE. Several of the nine PRs opened from these branches at 01:07-01:08 UTC are superseded by rebased-and-reviewed equivalents: Check whether a superseding PR exists before rebasing this one. |

LANDER: CORRECTION to my earlier note on this PR. I understated what the cancellation costs you, by a whole category. WHAT I SAID: the cancellation lands a WHAT IS ALSO TRUE AND I MISSED: it reds a REQUIRED context. and two failing steps: So a CANCELLED need fails the gate, not just a FAILED one. Measured on this PR's siblings: WHAT DOES NOT CHANGE: this PR is BEHIND and cannot merge without an update, and the update re-triggers CI and replaces every one of those conclusions. So nothing is lost and the remedy is the step the PR already needed. But "a CANCELLED row" and "a red required context" are different things to read on a dashboard, and I gave you the smaller one. I also had the general rule wrong, and it is worth more than this correction. "Not required" does not mean "does not block" in this repository, because one required name is an aggregate. Classifying rollup rows against the required set of 15 and dismissing the rest -- which is the careful thing to do -- produces a reader who correctly dismisses a harness leg and then cannot explain why Credit where it is due: a Manager seat found this on PR 1126 and told me; I verified it in ci.yml and found it covers eight legs and cancellation as well as failure. |
The full restore-verify added in this branch decrypts the EXTRACTED snapshot's
own cells, which is a store read and legitimately needs the store cipher. The
PL-1 guard forbade the token `build_store_cipher` anywhere in
pipeline/dr_backup.py, so it fired on a path it was not written to forbid.
Established first, by symbol and call path, that the archive itself is
untouched:
seal _do_backup -> _resolve_key -> resolve_active_key -> raw DEK bytes
-> _build_archive_blocking -> encrypt_stream (store/backup_codec.py)
unseal _verify_archive_blocking -> decrypt_stream, same raw key bytes
read _full_open_check -> open_store / _decrypt_check -> build_store_cipher
build_store_cipher appears only on the third path. So the guard's subject is
right and its INSTRUMENT is wrong, in both directions. It over-fired on the
snapshot read. It also under-fired: _full_open_check has always called
open_store, which builds a store cipher internally, so a file-wide token scan
could never have caught a seal that obtained its cipher that way.
Replaced with an AST call-path check that asserts, in
test_the_mfbak_seal_never_reaches_for_the_store_cipher:
1. every archive-codec call (encrypt_stream / decrypt_stream) sits inside the
named seal/unseal region, so a new sealing site elsewhere reds;
2. no store-cipher constructor (build_store_cipher, make_cipher,
build_transit_cipher, open_store) is reached outside the snapshot-read
functions;
3. the bytes handed to encrypt_stream are the unmodified `key` parameter,
bound in _do_backup from self._resolve_key(), which calls
resolve_active_key -- link by link.
Each arm carries a positive control, so a rename cannot make it pass vacuously.
Proved by mutation, four arms, three disjoint reds:
M1 seal calls build_store_cipher -> RED on arm 2
M2 seal obtains a cipher via open_store -> RED on arm 2; the OLD token scan
PASSES this one, measured
M3 encrypt_stream keyed by other bytes -> RED on arm 3
M4 a second encrypt_stream outside region -> RED on arm 1
All mutations reverted; git diff on dr_backup.py is empty in this commit.
Also registers the second crypto seam honestly rather than suppressing it: the
ASVS 11.1.3 discovery gate reds on the new `messagefoundry.store.crypto` import
in dr_backup.py, which is a true signal -- this file now performs at-rest crypto
through the store seam. Added to INVENTORY with the two-operations reason.
Docs: ADR 0049 gains a table recording which path holds which key material and
why (the source of record), and PHI.md section 3 narrows "vault_transit never
applies to a backup" to "never applies to sealing or unsealing an archive",
which is what is true. The snapshot read decrypts into memory and reports a
count, so it adds no at-rest tier.
Decision: the GUARD changed, not the feature.
Refs BACKLOG #1561.
Applies the /simplify pass findings and two review findings that were real
defects in the guard shipped one commit earlier.
Two new arms, both of which a mutation shows firing:
0. The doc limb. Every sibling test in this file pins the PHI.md section 3
prose before it pins code. The new guard read only dr_backup.py, so
deleting the narrowed sentence left it green -- pinning a claim the
document no longer made. It now asserts section 3 still states "sealing
or unsealing an archive", resolve_active_key and build_store_cipher.
0b. The staleness floor. _STORE_CIPHER_CTORS is hand-named and two of its
four names appear nowhere in dr_backup.py, so a rename in store/ would
have left an entry matching nothing while the arm below still passed.
Each name must now resolve to a real `def` in store/{base,crypto,
crypto_transit}.py. Same defect class as the token scan this replaced.
Re-proved after the refactor, since a refactored guard's old evidence does not
carry. Control plus six arms, all as expected:
CONTROL unmutated tree PASS
M1 seal calls build_store_cipher RED arm 2
M2 seal gets a cipher via open_store RED arm 2 (old token scan PASSES)
M3 encrypt_stream keyed by other bytes RED arm 3
M4 second encrypt_stream outside region RED arm 1
M5 narrowed section 3 sentence deleted RED arm 0
M6 a constructor name goes stale RED arm 0b
Simplification, no behaviour change:
- _verify_archive_blocking moves into _MFBAK_CODEC_FUNCS. It is the unseal
function, the constant's comment already claimed to cover it, and the
failure message already told the reader to add functions there.
- _split_call_sites returns ast.Call nodes rather than pre-formatted strings.
ast nodes hash by identity, so the set[int]-of-id() indirection was a
set[ast.Call] with an extra step and a caveat; the caller no longer tears
the callee back out of a string with .split()[0].
- New _binds() and _sites() helpers replace two spellings of "assigns to the
bare name key", one of which used a getattr escape hatch.
- The _build_archive_blocking match reads asyncio.to_thread's positional args
directly instead of walking the whole call subtree.
Scope wording corrected in both the test and ADR 0049: _split_call_sites splits
LEXICALLY and follows no calls, so a cipher construction moved into a helper
called from the seal lands outside the permitted region and reds. "Sits in", not
"reached from". Conservative in the safe direction, and now said out loud.
KNOWN AND NOT FIXED HERE: _callee_name and _named_func duplicate helpers that
already exist elsewhere in tests/ and messagefoundry/. Collapsing them onto a
shared tests/ module means editing test_reply_hint_thread_affinity.py and
test_security_doc_rate_limits.py, which is outside this PR and would widen its
collision surface. Noted in the PR body.

CONVERTED TO DRAFT, as the withdrawn half of the 1126 / 1138 duplicate. The LANDER measured that PR 1126 and this PR are the same feature, built twice under two item numbers, and wrote that neither should merge until one is withdrawn. It then reviewed 1126 against current main and posted a merge verdict there. That settles which half survives, but the withdrawal itself was never recorded anywhere that binds, so this PR stayed MERGEABLE. This is the half to withdraw. It sits on an older base, and its heavy CI runs were cancelled. Draft status is enforced by GitHub. A draft PR cannot be enqueued and cannot be merged, so "withdrawn" now means something to the machinery rather than only to a reader. Nothing about the content changed. No commit was added and the branch is untouched, so the BACKLOG #1561 work is still here and still recoverable if 1126 fails. TO UNDO: Converted by the MANAGER seat, which owns 1126. The merge decision stays the LANDER's. |

Lander: read this before you resolve any conflict on this branch. Your core commit is about to be on main already, and the conflict you will see is partly your own work arriving from the other side. The measurementThis PR and #1126 each carry a commit whose patch-id is identical: Same change, built twice, filed under two different backlog numbers: this PR cites #1561, #1126 cites #1718. Neither branch is an ancestor of the other. Why I landed #1126 rather than this oneNot a judgement about the code. #1126 carries an unconditional review verdict and this PR carries none, so it was the only one of the pair that was landable at all. It is now queued at position 7. I did not resolve anything between the two. Six files conflict between them, including What this means for youWhen #1126 lands, this branch will go DIRTY in these six files: The trap is that most of that conflict is the shared commit meeting itself. Re-applying your side of it puts the same change in twice. What is genuinely yours and not on main after #1126 lands is the two test commits at your tip: and whatever of your Suggested approach, which is yours to accept or reject: rebase onto main once #1126 lands, drop Stated no larger than it isI verified the patch-id equality and the six conflicting paths directly, with a self-merge negative control and a known-conflicting positive control on the instrument. I did not review your code, and nothing here is a defect claim against it. I also did not decide which backlog number owns this work — that needs whoever holds those two items. |

The PL-1 guard in
tests/test_phi_at_rest_inventory.pyforbade the tokenbuild_store_cipheranywhere inmessagefoundry/pipeline/dr_backup.py. It fired on this branch.

The token scan could never have caught a seal that obtained its cipher that way.

A guard that cannot fail is worse than no guard, so the narrowed one was mutated. Re-run after the

The gate also reds, and not for the same reason. The branch adds

That is a TRUE signal: this file now performs at-rest crypto through the store seam. Registered inINVENTORYwith the two-operations reason rather than suppressed.
