d235aab3c put MigrateFromFiles on a production path for the default org and
failed NewSQLiteManager whenever the import was rejected. That propagated to
GetManager, so every RBAC route returned 503 including ResetAdminRole, which
is the operator's only way back. The realistic trigger is a v5 install that
recreated a role the v6 store already holds under the same ID, so an
ordinary upgrade could leave an operator with no route to repair it short of
hand-editing the legacy JSON.
Rejecting the import is right and stays: importLegacyRBAC is transactional
and the legacy files are left in place, so a failure leaves the database
un-migrated rather than half-migrated. Missing roles deny access rather than
granting it, which is why the store is safe to keep serving.
The store now stays live and records the failure on MigrationError. The
deliberate fail-closed behaviour of the management surface is preserved
rather than removed: the handler manager accessors surface the migration
failure as the same 503 rbac_store_unavailable as before. Recovery reaches
the provider directly, so it is exempt by construction.
The existing 503 contract test is what caught the first attempt at this,
which simply let the surface serve un-migrated data. It now additionally
asserts recovery is reachable, so the two halves are pinned together.
golangci-lint run ./... failed on ~190 pre-existing errcheck violations and
5 unformatted files, burying any new regression in noise. Fix all of them:
- Test files that hand-rolled mock-mode set/restore (vmware, truenas, and
friends) now use the canonical setMockModeForTest/testutil.SetMockMode
helper instead of drift copies that ignored SetEnabled errors.
- internal/mock and internal/monitoring tests get package-local
mustSetEnabled/mustSetMockEnabled/mustSetMonitorMockMode helpers that
fail the test on toggle errors.
- pkg/auth/sqlite_manager.go, pkg/metrics/store.go, pkg/server/server.go:
rollbacks in defers use the explicit-discard idiom, migration renames and
rollup commits log failures, the hosted reaper goroutine logs an error
exit, shutdown mock-disable logs failures.
- Remaining test sites check errors with t.Fatalf/t.Errorf or explicitly
discard best-effort calls (restore-chmods, handler-closure unmarshals)
per existing repo style.
- gofmt: internal/api/maintenance_verification.go, internal/ai/demo.go and
three findings test files.
Only dupl findings remain (44 pre-existing production-code duplication
pairs) — those need real refactors, not mechanical fixes.
Full test suites pass for every touched package.
