feat(email): prepare recoverable storage keys with current backups - #5541
Email storage needs demonstrated recovery of its encryption key before existing messages move. Backups must include the latest credential changes for that proof to be meaningful.
What
Adds confirmed operations to prepare the storage key, capture a current off-site backup, and prove recovery before encrypted storage is enabled. Requires the existing credentials and recovery checks to agree before proceeding.

feat(email): prepare storage keys with independent recovery gates
feat(email): prepare recoverable storage keys with current backups
Oct 29, 2026
The acknowledged review remained running beyond the one-hour response window, with no substantive result. A complete current-head read of reviews, comments, threads and checks found no findings or clean receipt, and the no-gate guard admitted this record. This expires the activity reservation, not the review requirement. I am incorporating current main before the next exact-head review.
The pull request adds workflows to prepare and independently verify an Email storage key, and to refresh the OpenBao recovery snapshot. Recovery tooling now validates and restores the storage passphrase with the three email account records. The preparation operation preserves an existing valid key or creates one only when absent. The refresh script validates the CronJob and verifies the resulting Job and pod before reporting completion.

Issue 5030: The PR implements the key preparation and recovery verification portion of the broader Email delivery requirements.
Issue 5387: The PR addresses the key preparation and verified backup recovery criteria; other issue criteria remain outside this change.
Issue 5376: The PR refreshes an off-cluster recovery snapshot, but does not establish the cause of the scheduled-job concern described by this issue.
Issue 5543: The native tests cover key-related recovery behavior, but this PR does not implement the encrypted-volume canary.
Possibly related PRs
devantler-tech/platform#5388: It prepares the three Email credential custody records that this PR uses alongside the storage-key record.
devantler-tech/platform#5533: It introduced the recovery modes and canonical window that this PR extends for storage-key recovery.
devantler-tech/platform#5470: It introduced backup collection behavior that the new preparation workflow requires.
Priority: Normal
Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 6397f
The email storage-key preparation workflow is likely to fail closed at collection because it uses the wrong collection mode, so the key cannot be prepared until that is fixed. The snapshot refresh can also overlap the scheduled backup near 03:30 UTC. Fix both before merging.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "feat(email): prepare recoverable storage keys with current backups" matches the main change. The changeset adds confirmed, manually dispatched workflows and scripts that prepare the email storage encryption key, refresh the backup snapshot, and verify recovery. The title is specific and follows Conventional Commits. It omits the verification step, which is a secondary detail.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description states the purpose (email storage needs demonstrated key recovery before encrypted storage is enabled) and the scope (confirmed operations to prepare the key, capture a current off-site backup, and prove recovery). Both relate directly to the workflows, scripts, and recovery guide in the changeset. It is brief, as the template requests, and it is not off-topic.
Full details: Docstring Coverage
Explanation
Docstring coverage is 15.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2.

⚠️Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Remove the unnecessary json.RawMessage conversion.
value already has the type json.RawMessage. The conversion at Line 98 does nothing, and golangci-lint unconvert reports it as an error. If the repository lint gate runs unconvert, this line fails CI.

Inline comments:
Review comments at @.github/workflows/prepare-email-storage-key.yaml:
- Line 118: Update the binary invocation in the workflow from the legacy
`collect` mode to `collect-email` so collection uses the canonical email
recovery set. Do not use `collect-email-storage`, which selects a different set
of paths.
Review comments at @scripts/refresh-email-recovery-backup.sh:
- Around line 46-47: Update the dispatch flow after the final CronJob read and
before Job creation to check for unfinished Jobs controlled by that CronJob,
matching the owner reference by UID; reject creation when any are found. Keep
the check in this interval to narrow the overlap race, and do not rely on
concurrencyPolicy: Forbid for the manually created Job.

Learning: For GitHub Actions concurrency configuration in this repo, don’t use `queue: single` on a shared production concurrency group (e.g., `prod-deploy`) that is used for normal production deployments—`queue: single` will cancel/replace any pending run in that group. Normal production deployments must use a uniform `queue: max` for that shared group to ensure serialization without coalescing. If you need DR rebuild coalescing (replacement of pending DR rebuild runs), it must use a separate DR-only concurrency scope/group (not the shared production `prod-deploy` group).
[error] 240-240: A shell (sh/bash) is invoked with -c and a dynamically built command string (string concatenation, fmt.Sprintf, or a variable holding the command) passed to exec.Command / exec.CommandContext. Untrusted input embedded in the command lets an attacker inject arbitrary shell commands. Avoid the shell: call the target binary directly with exec.Command(name, arg1, arg2, ...) so each argument is passed as a separate, non-interpreted token, and never build a shell command string from external input.
Context: exec.Command("bash", "-c", run)

The production overlay already sets REQUIRE_REMOTE_SNAPSHOT=true.
The production infrastructure Flux Kustomization resolves to providers/hetzner/infrastructure. That overlay applies the daily snapshot patch, which replaces the base "false" value with "true". The proposed confirmation is not needed.
Ready at 3e4837eb5c6e352d742a6753c5a8fa36fe104d72 for the protected first preparation and independent recovery checks.
CI 40817003660 passed at this commit. Codex receipt 6487933261 and its completed summary are current; both reported review threads are resolved, and the complete thread and non-thread finding surfaces are clear. Native recovery fixtures, affected race tests, lint and workflow controls passed. Fresh current-main integration is clean. The readable required gates pass; the configured code-quality rule remains opaque to the helper, while GitHub reports CLEAN.
The maintainer instructed this chat to continue after the two prepared storage first-run exceptions were presented. That authorizes this bounded bootstrap sequence: protected merge, first preparation, a fresh independent backup, then actual recovery verification. These main-only production operations have not yet run; their result is not a pre-merge pass. Encryption activation remains blocked until actual key recovery and the separate storage canary both pass.
Blocker:#5557 | upstream | last-verified 2026-10-29: Protected merge-group browser run 40828240787 failed before browser execution; the supported-runner repair #5559 must merge and pass native acceptance before requeueing. The same group CI 40828240622 also failed the publication-generator validation; incorporate and validate the tracked worker-probe repair #5556. Production preparation and independent recovery remain unverified; any integration push needs fresh head-bound CI and review.

CodeRabbit declined this commit's request because its included review limit is reached. The direct review surfaces contain no new review or unresolved thread. Continuing to the next configured review provider.
Readiness at 1f739ddb4f5989a5470e223fa663c61f3b0281f1: current CI passed, the two affected local Go packages pass, and Codex reviewed this commit without findings. Direct review reads show no unresolved thread or new body finding. Every readable required gate passed; GitHub reports CLEAN while the configured code-quality result has no readable API surface.
The maintainer explicitly approved the narrow protected-merge exception and the first main-only preparation, fresh-backup and recovery checks. Those operations cannot run from a draft branch. They will be exercised and evaluated after this source merges; their production results remain unverified. This exception does not enable encrypted Email storage, move mailbox data, replace an existing key or waive the later recovery and native-volume canary gates.
Fresh independent backup recovery passed in run 41732028996, first attempt at main 08be2b9daf0a5bd3cf518961b58d95b470bc8068. The isolated verifier restored and compared all four selected records, returning OPENBAO_BACKUP_RESTORE=PASS records=4 version=2.6.3. The job and its cleanup completed successfully without changing production.
This verifies the selected recovery material in the refreshed OpenBao backup. Company Email mailbox/Calendar restoration and encrypted serving-storage activation retain their separate acceptance gates.
