Summary

Follow-up fix for PR #3002 (RFC#2843 #32). #3002's heartbeat reconcile trigger reads prevStatus via SELECT COALESCE(current_task, ''), COALESCE(monthly_spend, 0), COALESCE(status, '') FROM workspaces. But status is a NOT-NULL workspace_status ENUM — COALESCE(status, '') coerces the '' literal to the enum type, and Postgres rejects it (invalid input value for enum workspace_status: ""), failing the ENTIRE row scan. So prevStatus stayed "" on every heartbeat, prevStatus == 'provisioning' never matched, and the declared-plugin reconcile never fired — the #32 regression returned in prod.

Fix: select status BARE (it is never NULL).

Root-cause not symptom

Observed first-hand on a LIVE prod tenant. Final acceptance (the template-delivery-e2e harness) was run against a fresh prod tenant e2e-tmpl-c7dc7735 on a box at the #3002 fix git_sha (2406c565, confirmed via /buildinfo). seo-agent reached online with config.yaml (9316 B) + prompts + model delivered, but seo-all never installed (Assertion E timed out at 600s). The tenant box workspace-server log showed, on EVERY heartbeat:

registry heartbeat: prev_task query failed for workspace 002f1f11...: pq: invalid input value for enum workspace_status: ""

That is the COALESCE(status, '') enum-coercion failure. Because the prev-status SELECT errored, prevStatus was the zero value and the prevStatus == provisioning reconcile trigger was dead. Root cause = the enum-COALESCE, not a symptom.

No backwards-compat shim / dead code added

No shim. One-token SQL change (COALESCE(status, '') → status) + a corrected comment + a tightened unit matcher. Nothing removed, no compat layer.

Comprehensive testing performed

Tightened TestHeartbeatHandler_ProvisioningToOnline's sqlmock query matcher to require , status FROM workspaces so a re-introduced COALESCE(status, ...) fails the unit test (sqlmock does not enforce enum types, which is exactly why the bug shipped green). The authoritative backstop is the live template-delivery-e2e gate, which DID catch this end-to-end.

Local-postgres E2E run

The Handlers Postgres Integration required gate runs against real Postgres and exercises the enum column. The live template-delivery-e2e (now path-filtered on registry.go via #3003) is the full reproduction + verification.

Staging-smoke verified or pending

Mechanism verified on a live prod tenant box heartbeat log (above). Post-merge, the prod fleet rolls the corrected image; re-run the acceptance harness to confirm Assertion E passes.

Five-Axis review walked

Correctness (bare enum select scans fine; reconcile fires on provisioning→online again), security (no surface change; read-only SELECT), performance (identical query cost; removes a per-heartbeat error log), maintainability (comment documents the enum-COALESCE trap; unit matcher pins it), tests (regression matcher added).

Memory consulted

Consulted: feedback_no_such_thing_as_flakes (named the mechanism: enum-COALESCE scan failure, not a flake), project_rfc2843_rollout_authorization, reference_runtime_fix_deploy_path, feedback_follow_dev_sop_phase1_evidence_first (dumped the raw heartbeat log before concluding).

## Summary Follow-up fix for **PR #3002** (RFC#2843 #32). #3002's heartbeat reconcile trigger reads `prevStatus` via `SELECT COALESCE(current_task, ''), COALESCE(monthly_spend, 0), COALESCE(status, '') FROM workspaces`. But `status` is a **NOT-NULL `workspace_status` ENUM** — `COALESCE(status, '')` coerces the `''` literal to the enum type, and Postgres rejects it (`invalid input value for enum workspace_status: ""`), failing the ENTIRE row scan. So `prevStatus` stayed `""` on every heartbeat, `prevStatus == 'provisioning'` never matched, and the declared-plugin reconcile **never fired** — the #32 regression returned in prod. **Fix:** select `status` BARE (it is never NULL). ## Root-cause not symptom Observed first-hand on a LIVE prod tenant. Final acceptance (the `template-delivery-e2e` harness) was run against a fresh prod tenant `e2e-tmpl-c7dc7735` on a box at the #3002 fix git_sha (`2406c565`, confirmed via `/buildinfo`). seo-agent reached online with config.yaml (9316 B) + prompts + model delivered, but seo-all never installed (Assertion E timed out at 600s). The tenant box workspace-server log showed, on EVERY heartbeat: ``` registry heartbeat: prev_task query failed for workspace 002f1f11...: pq: invalid input value for enum workspace_status: "" ``` That is the `COALESCE(status, '')` enum-coercion failure. Because the prev-status SELECT errored, `prevStatus` was the zero value and the `prevStatus == provisioning` reconcile trigger was dead.

RFC#2843 #32: fix prevStatus enum-COALESCE that silenced the reconcile trigger 113bb9cbfd 
The #3002 heartbeat reconcile trigger read prevStatus via
SELECT ..., COALESCE(status, '') — but status is a NOT-NULL
workspace_status ENUM, so '' is coerced to the enum and Postgres
rejects it (),
failing the whole row scan. prevStatus stayed "" on every heartbeat,
so prevStatus=='provisioning' never matched and the declared-plugin
reconcile never fired — the #32 regression returned in prod (live
seo-agent: seo-all never installed, observed on tenant box log).

Fix: select status BARE (it is never NULL). Verified mechanism on a
live prod tenant heartbeat log.

Tighten the ProvisioningToOnline mock query matcher to require
`, status FROM workspaces` so a re-introduced COALESCE(status, ...) fails this test. sqlmock does not enforce enum types, so the loose prefix matcher passed despite the prod-breaking COALESCE(status, '').

QA: bare enum select fixes the scan failure that silenced the reconcile; live prod heartbeat log confirms the mechanism; unit matcher pins it. Approving.
