📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe 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 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. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

- Around line 101-104: Update the write flow so the source proof runs before the
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
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. |

- 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
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.
