Why

A failed database standby is preventing safe platform maintenance. It needs a controlled replacement that preserves the old data and leaves the healthy instances alone.

What

Adds an explicitly approved, protected recovery procedure that retains the old storage and stops if its safety evidence changes. Maintenance stays on hold until the replacement passes two separated health checks.

Fixes #4674

👉 After merge/promotion: run the maintainer-approved recovery from current main, then verify production before resuming dependent maintenance.

Merged through the protected queue on 9 October: merge commit 4622b50, from reviewed and signed head 9488b9aaf85758e97a44931d08f0e91ea43d57b8. The merge-group CI and replacement safety tests passed. The exact-head local review is GREEN; all reported findings are resolved or individually refuted.

The unsafe-plan and transaction regressions were exercised RED → GREEN. Race tests pass with 77.7% package coverage; vet, diff checks and workflow syntax validation pass. Published CI also passed the independent bridge regressions unavailable in the host's incomplete module cache.

After merge, a fresh OIDC-only plan returned PLAN=PASS no writes. The recovery source on current main matches the reviewed source. The same primary and healthy standby remain Ready, and archiving and the completed backup remain healthy. The maintainer explicitly approved replacing only the failed standby while retaining its old storage.

The first protected main dispatch is 37869788743, bound to merge commit 4622b50e1e11bfc2f4a9c7133e9cec3f7632f01c. It is queued. This is not yet evidence of a successful production repair. Success still requires the workflow's two separated complete recovery samples and OIDC readback showing retained old data and unchanged healthy peers. There is no platform-stability clearance.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a command that validates Wedding cluster resources and can replace a failed standby while retaining its existing storage. The repair flow fences the standby before detaching its claim and deleting the identified pod. It validates replacement health before reporting success. A manual production workflow runs the package tests and checks dispatch authorization before execution. Documentation describes the preconditions, repair sequence, and failure handling.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1c265

The standby replacement procedure is guarded and preserves the old storage. A timing gap can stop a run after fencing and leave the fence in place, so an operator would have to remove it by hand. No data is at risk. Reordering the source check before the snapshot is a small fix worth making before running the procedure in production.

fresh snapshot used for each write, not inside client.write after that snapshot;
keep a fresh proof and read for every write, including the pod deletion and
fence removal paths. Move the proof to the refresh/snapshot flow that feeds each
write, including the post-deletion snapshot for fencePatch, and preserve the
existing failed-proof behavior that prevents writes.

Resolution of the ancillary findings in CodeRabbit review 5464502786, checked at 9488b9aaf85758e97a44931d08f0e91ea43d57b8:

• main_test.go errchkjson: the JSON marshal error is checked. forcetypeassert: fixture access uses checked map traversal and checked condition-list construction; the reported unchecked assertions are removed.
• main.go ST1005: the error starts with lowercase text.
• Docstring coverage in the summary: every named command/test function now has a meaningful leading comment describing its safety purpose.
• main.go G204 subprocess reports: refuted as command-injection findings. Executables and the source-script path are literals; arguments are passed directly without shell interpolation. The only dispatch inputs are validated UUIDs; the source SHA is validated as 40 hexadecimal characters and bound to the exact protected main workflow. Kubernetes resource arguments come from the scoped API's server-validated names and identity/ownership checks, not caller-selected command options.
• main.go G304 summary-path report: the path is the GitHub runner's GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, used only after the exact protected dispatch binding passes. It is not a workflow input, and plan mode never opens it. The file must already exist; the command does not create a caller-selected file. No blanket lint/security suppression was added.

The final adversarial pass also reproduced and fixed a malformed job-list entry being mistaken for an empty list. All inventory entries must now be examined, or the plan stops. Race tests (77.7% package coverage), vet and diff checks pass. Production execution remains outstanding.

Self-review (fallback — CodeRabbit, Codex and Cursor Bugbot unavailable)

Reviewed commit: 9488b9a
Base: dbba472

• CodeRabbit: unavailable included allowance. Review 5464502786, provider event 2026-10-09T00:43:42Z, reports one included review/hour and zero remaining; verified at 00:56 UTC within that window. Scope: this PR's included allowance; recovery is its hourly refill. The later empty-body review is a resolution-reply container, not a full new-head review; I read its sole reply and kept the original finding until fixed.
• Codex: unavailable account code-review usage. Authenticated refusal, updated 2026-10-08T21:37:25Z, freshly read at 00:50 UTC. The fresh census has a later refusal at 23:01:40Z and no recovery. Scope: this identity's code-review account; recovery requires included quota renewal or maintainer action. No paid credits requested.
• Cursor Bugbot: unavailable user/team usage or spend. Authenticated refusal, updated 2026-10-07T19:32:36Z, freshly read at 00:50 UTC. The fresh census has a refusal at 2026-10-08T22:47:52Z and no recovery. Scope: this user/team; no provider retry window, administrator action is the stated recovery.

Current PR review objects, conversation comments, threads and head check-runs were read directly before this round. No provider delivered a substantive full review at this head. The original thread is fixed, explained and resolved; ancillary findings are individually fixed or refuted.

Adversarial review covered all four changed files: dispatch/source/credential boundaries; complete resource coverage; protected peer identities; exact storage binding and Retain readback; target fencing acknowledgement before detachment; conditional single-pod deletion; fresh proof → observation → write ordering; no mutation retry or destructive cleanup; two separated replacement-health samples; and the documentation's explicit absence of overall platform clearance. The raw kubectl deletion path accepts the stdin DeleteOptions body, preserving its preconditions. Commands and script paths are fixed, without shell interpolation; the summary path comes only from the bound runner environment.

The final pass reproduced and corrected malformed-job-list false-clearance with RED → GREEN tests. The source-order regression also failed before its correction. Race tests pass (77.7% package coverage), vet and diff checks pass. The published head's live OIDC-only plan returned PLAN=PASS no writes at 00:55 UTC. Completed CI and protected production execution remain separate gates; this review bypasses neither.

Verdict: no P0/P1 findings
