From 7fbb8cb6e91ca7ecf1c40f9ae914b6e5618b62a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: claude-ceo-assistant Date: Fri, 8 May 2026 08:22:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?feat(plugins):=20atomic=20install=20=E2=80=94?= =?UTF-8?q?=20stage=E2=86=92snapshot=E2=86=92swap=E2=86=92marker=20(docker?= =?UTF-8?q?=20path)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Closes molecule-core#114 for the docker (local-OSS) path. EIC (SaaS) path tracked as a follow-up — same shape, different exec primitives (ssh vs docker exec); shipping both in one PR doubles the test surface. THE FOUR-STEP DANCE 1. STAGE — docker.CopyToContainer extracts tar into /configs/plugins/.staging/./ 2. SNAPSHOT — if /configs/plugins// exists, mv to /configs/plugins/.previous/./ 3. SWAP — atomic mv staging → live (single rename(2)) 4. MARKER — touch /configs/plugins//.complete Workspace-side plugin loaders should refuse to load any plugin dir without .complete (separate small change, not in this PR — the marker write is the necessary precursor; consumer side is a follow-up so existing-content plugins don't break before they're re-installed). ROLLBACK - Stage failure: rm -rf staging dir; live untouched - Snapshot failure: rm -rf staging dir; live untouched (no rename happened) - Swap failure with snapshot present: mv previous back to live - Swap failure (no snapshot): rm -rf staging; live (which never existed) stays absent - Marker failure: content already in place, log loudly with manual recovery hint (touch /.complete) — don't roll back since the new content is what we wanted, just unmarked GC Best-effort delete of previous-version snapshot after successful marker write. Failures non-fatal — next install or a separate sweeper reclaims. Sweeper for stale .previous/* across reboots is follow-up scope. CONCURRENCY Each install gets a unique stamp (UTC second precision), so two concurrent reinstalls land in distinct staging dirs and the second swap simply overwrites the first's live result. The atomicity is per-install, not cross-install — by design (the platform serializes POST /workspaces/:id/plugins via Go-side semaphore upstream of this code, so cross-install collisions don't reach here). CHANGES + plugins_atomic.go — installVersion + atomicCopyToContainer + plugins_atomic_tar.go — tarWalk/tarHostDirWithPrefix helpers + plugins_atomic_test.go — 5 unit tests (paths, stamp shape, tar happy path, symlink-skip, prefix normalization). All green. ~ plugins_install_pipeline.go::deliverToContainer — swap copyPluginToContainer call to atomicCopyToContainer Old copyPluginToContainer is retained (still called by Download()) so this PR is purely additive on the install path; no public API change. PHASE 4 SELF-REVIEW (FIVE-AXIS) Correctness: Required (addressed) — swap-failure rollback writes mv of previous back to live before returning the error; if rollback itself fails, we wrap both errors and surface the combined fault. Marker-write failure is treated as content-landed-but-unmarked (LOG, don't roll back the new content). Readability: No finding — installVersion path methods make the /staging/.previous/live/marker layout obvious from one struct. tarWalk extracted from the inline filepath.Walk in plugins_install_pipeline.go for testability. Architecture: No finding — atomicCopyToContainer composes existing execAsRoot / docker.CopyToContainer primitives; no new dependencies. Old copyPluginToContainer kept for Download() — single responsibility per function. Security: No finding — symlinks still skipped during tar walk (defense vs hostile plugin escaping its own dir). Marker writes use composeable path.Join, no user input touches the path. Performance: No finding — adds ~3 docker exec calls per install (mkdir, mv-snapshot, mv-swap, touch — actually 4) on top of the one CopyToContainer. Each exec ~50-100ms in practice; install end-to-end was already seconds-scale, this rounds to noise.
