Closes the 'live duplicate/conflict alerting also remains' gap noted
in §8.10: a durable domain.ErrConflict/ErrResultConflict rejection on
/v1/servers/{id}/{register,connect,disconnect,shutdown,result} was
already logged as a structured 'conflict' stage event, but had no
Prometheus signal distinct from the generic 4xx-class counter, which
also catches ordinary client noise (malformed bodies, expired
tokens). A real duplicate registration, raced reconnect, or replayed
result would have been invisible to alerting until someone went
looking through logs.
observability.Metrics gains ObserveServerConflict(kind), a bounded
counter keyed to serverMutation's own five routes (an unrecognized
kind folds into "other", so a caller mistake can't grow the label
set), exported as cosmic_clash_api_server_conflicts_total. Wired at
each of serverMutation's four conflict branches in server/api/service.go.
deploy/observability/prometheus-rules.yaml adds
CosmicClashControlPlaneServerConflicts, mirroring the existing
allocator quota-denial alert shape, firing on >3 conflicts of one
kind in 15 minutes.
Verified: go build/vet/test -race clean across every server package;
new unit tests cover per-kind counting, the bounded 'other' fallback,
the counter's absence until first observed, and a nil-receiver no-op;
a service-level test proves a real register conflict is exported
through the live /metrics endpoint. scripts/verify_observability_manifests.py
passes against the edited rules file.
Remaining, and explicitly out of scope here: this alert has only been
validated statically, never against a live Prometheus/Alertmanager
firing on real traffic — that requires the same live cluster this
sandbox has never had.
Wire the same Service.Log hook added for the server register/result
routes into queue create/heartbeat/cancel and proposal accept/decline:
log the resulting state on success (queue_create, queue_heartbeat,
queue_cancel, proposal_response) or 'rejected' on a domain error,
using only the ticket/proposal ID and outcome -- never the domain
error text itself, which isn't documented as credential-free.
Read-only routes (queue GET, proposal GET, assignment fetch) and the
early availability/not-found rejections that return before reaching
the domain call are deliberately not logged in this pass.
Covered by a new end-to-end test driving real create/heartbeat/cancel
and an accept followed by a stale-revision accept (fenced for real by
the domain layer behind proposalBackendSpy, unlike the dumb queue
spy), asserting the exact sequence of events logged.
server/observability existed fully unit-tested but was imported by
nothing outside its own package -- no HTTP handler ever called it, so
its credential redaction protected zero real log output. Wire it into
Service via an optional Log field (nil-safe, so every existing Service
literal keeps compiling unchanged) and call it from the two
workload-authenticated server routes -- register and result -- at
every outcome: unauthorized, rejected, conflict and success. Wire
cmd/control-plane to actually emit those events as JSON lines on
stderr.
Add a secret canary test that drives both routes end to end with
realistic bearer-token and result-nonce values and asserts neither
literal secret appears anywhere in what Service.Log actually received
-- a stronger claim than the existing observability unit test, which
only proves redact() strips a synthetic value under a denylisted key
name. redact() is still key-name-based, not content-based: a future
call site that logs a secret under an unlisted key name would not be
caught by this test or by redact() itself, only by the same discipline
applied here of never putting raw request/token bytes into Fields.
Queue, proposal and assignment mutation routes are not wired yet.
Add POST /v1/servers/{id}/register (and its /api/v1 contract alias),
authenticated by the same workload binding as the result route. A
game server reports its protocol version and image digest and asks
to advance ALLOCATING -> PROCESS_READY -> ASSIGNMENT_READY; the store
boundary (AdvanceServerRegistration) does this as one idempotent
SERIALIZABLE transaction that also advances every participant's queue
ticket, and gates the final transition on every participant having a
live, unexpired assignment.
Adversarial review of the surrounding routing turned up a pre-existing
bug: contractServerMutation rejected any path containing '/', so the
already-documented /api/v1/servers/{id}/result route (and this new
/register route) 404'd for every real caller despite being declared
in the OpenAPI contract. Fix it to delegate shape validation to
serverMutation, matching how contractQueueMutation handles its own
two-segment paths, and add a regression test covering both contract
routes end to end.
