Replace the sandbox dry run with a read-only rehearsal
`run --dry-run` cloned the data directory into a sandbox, migrated the copy,
booted it, and compared content before and after. Running that design
against a real 0.15.5 instance and a real production settings corpus
retired it:
* The mechanics were never the risk. Backup, dump, convert and the
recovery-mode store migration all worked essentially first time.
* Its final comparison cannot work at all. It needs the migrated sandbox
to answer an API, and server.listener is not among the settings
migrate_v016.py carries - so a migrated instance has no listeners and
answers on nothing. That is the true post-migration state, not a
sandbox artifact to engineer around.
* The expensive half bought the least: against a 3.6 GB production store
it copies the data twice, reading a live mail store, to prove RocksDB
files copy and recovery mode can open them.
Meanwhile the cheap half found every problem that would have derailed a
real migration - an empty defaultHostname v0.16 rejects, passwords v0.16
refuses to create, and a 12,182-key reconstruction worklist - and needs no
data copy at all.
So `stalwart-migrate rehearse`: preflight, dump, convert, report. It copies
nothing, starts no server, and never writes to the store, so it is safe to
run against production repeatedly without a maintenance window. It needs no
target binary either, since convert is pure Python.
The scratch directory is cleaned up as before, with the rehearsal's two
conclusions lifted out first and recorded as artifacts: export.json (what
will carry over) and unmigrated.txt (what will not). Recording an artifact
whose path was about to be deleted was a bug in the first cut of this;
both now resolve.
`run` keeps its refusal and explains where rehearse went. `--dry-run` is
kept as a flag purely to say what replaced it.
Verified against the smoke VM end to end: rehearsal completes read-only in
seconds and reports 3505 unmigrated settings on a default install,
listeners included.

Capture and surface the settings migrate_v016.py does NOT migrate
Ran the converter against a real production settings corpus pulled from the
instance this tool is being built to migrate (secrets scrubbed on that host;
nothing sensitive transited). The result reframes what "a successful
migration" means:
total settings: 12401
NOT migrated: 12182 (98.2%)
actually migrated: 219 (1.8%)
Stalwart's own script reports this in an unmigrated.txt it writes beside its
output - and this tool was throwing that file away. Worse, RunSettingsConvert
never set cmd.Dir, so the script wrote unmigrated.txt into whatever directory
the operator happened to launch from, or failed the whole convert when that
directory wasn't writable. Both reproduced.
The largest groups left behind on production are spam-filter rules, DNSBLs,
trusted-domain and URL-redirector lookups, queue scheduling and TLS
settings - and server.listener. That last one explains something that had
been puzzling from an earlier smoke run: a freshly migrated 0.16 instance
answered on none of the ports the old one did, and served nothing but
/admin. Its listeners never migrated.
So:
- SettingsConvertOptions gains WorkDir, and the convert runs there. The
report lands somewhere known and an unwritable cwd can't fail the step.
- ReadUnmigratedReport parses it; UnmigratedReport.Summary renders the
largest groups first.
- The dry run records it as an "unmigrated-settings" artifact with a
checksum, notes the count in the checkpoint step, and prints it as a
standing warning rather than a footnote.
ARCHITECTURE 4.3 anticipated a "best-effort apply-plan" gap here. The gap is
not a few stragglers needing review; it is effectively the entire
configuration, and the tool has to say so where nobody can miss it.
Verified against the smoke VM: even a default `stalwart --init` instance
reports 3505 of ~3514 settings unmigrated, listeners included.

Add SPDX headers to every Go file
GPLv3's "How to Apply These Terms" asks for a notice in each source file; this is the modern two-line SPDX form of it rather than the full paragraph. 82 files, including tests. The blank line after the header is load-bearing. In Go a comment block immediately preceding `package X` becomes the package doc comment, so without the separator the SPDX lines would be absorbed into the doc for the eleven packages whose doc.go (or main.go) opens with one, and `go doc` would print them. Verified it doesn't. |

Add cutover; drop rollback in favour of operator-provided recovery
Two changes that arrived together: the cutover phase (ARCHITECTURE.md 4.5) is implemented, and the rollback phase is deleted. Recovery from a failed migration is now explicitly the operator's own snapshot or backup, and out of scope for this tool. internal/cutover implements 4.5 as seven checkpointed steps: verify the staged binary's version, install it, preserve and rewrite the service definition, reload, start, wait for a healthy JMAP session, recalculate quotas. The unit is rewritten in place rather than generated from a template. An operator's unit carries hardening options, limits and dependencies this tool has no business having an opinion about, and regenerating it would silently drop them. It repoints ExecStart (preserving systemd's -@:+! prefix characters and every argument after the executable), updates --config, and strips recovery-mode Environment lines - leaving STALWART_RECOVERY_MODE=1 set would recovery-boot the service on every restart, forever. It refuses on a unit with no ExecStart, and on an Environment line mixing a recovery variable with others: a line it only partly understands is one it must not edit. Quota recalculation is the one step allowed to fail without failing the phase. Its wire format is grounded in Stalwart's x:Task schema reference - Task/set creating one AccountMaintenance per account with maintenanceType recalculateQuota - but the upgrade guide only documents the WebUI path, so two details remain inferred and are called out in stalwartapi/task.go: whether the schema's "read-only" annotation on accountId/maintenanceType means "immutable after creation", and whether a finished task simply leaves the queue (TaskStatus documents Pending/Retry/Failed with no success state). Warning rather than failing is the honest response to that uncertainty, and stale counters are an accounting problem next to calling for a restore of a machine that is otherwise migrated and serving mail. Docker deployments are refused outright: cutting a container over means pulling an image and recreating it, not swapping a binary. On removing rollback. The implementation worked and was tested, and it was removed because restoring bytes correctly is not the hard part. It copied file contents and permissions and verified every restored file against a manifest - and did not preserve ownership. Run as root, as this tool requires, it would have produced a byte-perfect, checksum-verified, root-owned data directory that Stalwart, running as its own user, could not open, and it would have reported success. The PostgreSQL path was worse: pg_dump without --clean emits CREATE TABLE + COPY, which fails replaying into a database whose tables still exist, and the ON_ERROR_STOP=1 added so a half-applied restore couldn't be reported as success turned that into a hard failure. None of it had ever run against a real server. A filesystem snapshot has none of these failure modes, because it never lost the metadata to begin with. So cutover's gate is no longer rollback.CanRollBack but an explicit RecoveryPointConfirmed acknowledgement. That is an assertion, not a check - this tool cannot verify someone else's snapshot - and its only value is that nobody migrates a production mail server having never been asked the question. Two consequences are accepted deliberately: restoring any pre-migration recovery point discards mail delivered since, and a failed migration now stops and reports rather than undoing itself. What the tool still does to make a manual restore easier: the old binary is preserved and never deleted, the original service definition is preserved before the rewrite, the settings and principals dumps stay on disk, and every artifact path and checksum stays in the checkpoint where `status <run-id>` can print it. Also removed: the `confirm` command stub and RollbackWindowClosed, whose only purpose was closing a rollback window that no longer exists, and checkpoint.PhaseRollback. Old state.json files still load - JSON ignores the now-unknown field. Still open, and recorded in 8: cutover ignores systemd drop-ins, so an ExecStart or Environment override in stalwart.service.d/*.conf is invisible to the rewrite - including the recovery variable it exists to strip; nothing prevents concurrent runs on the same run-id; and nothing in this repo has ever run against a real Stalwart, real systemd, or a real store. |

Implement internal/rollback and the service control it needs
Rollback was the one phase gating everything else: `run` without --dry-run refused because this tool could not undo a cutover it had committed to. That reason is now gone, and the refusal has narrowed to the fact that there is no real cutover to undo yet. internal/rollback implements ARCHITECTURE.md 4.8 as eight checkpointed steps under PhaseRollback: verify-backup, stop-service, preserve-failed-state, restore-data, restore-binary, restore-service-config, start-service, verify-rollback. Three things depart from what 4.8 specified, each for a reason: - The backup is re-verified against its manifest *before* the service is stopped, which the design didn't call out. Finding a corrupt backup is survivable while the failed instance is still up, and unsurvivable once its data directory has been moved aside. - BuildPlan is separate from Run, so every reason to refuse (closed rollback window, FoundationDB, no recorded backup, unknown deployment kind, missing database credentials) is found before anything is touched. The CLI prints that resolved plan and acts only with --yes. - The restore is re-verified against the same manifest after writing. A restore that put back truncated bytes and reported success would be worse than one that failed outright. Nothing from the failed attempt is deleted: the half-migrated data directory and the displaced binary are moved to .failed-<run-id> names, so a retry after the underlying issue is fixed still has both the evidence and the artifacts. Afterwards a reduced validation suite runs against the *restored* instance (version, reachability, directory counts) rather than assuming the restore worked. internal/service is a new package holding the systemd/Docker control this needs. It's separate rather than living inside internal/rollback because cutover will need the identical operations, and because the commands that can take mail delivery down belong in one auditable place - the same reasoning that makes stalwartapi the only thing speaking JMAP. preflight.DeploymentKind is now a type alias for service.Kind so detection and control can't drift apart. Its Active() reads `systemctl is-active`'s output rather than its exit status: systemctl exits non-zero for every non-active state, so exit-status logic would make "inactive" - the answer a rollback most needs - look like a failure to read the state at all. Also fixes a pre-existing bug in `status`: Go's flag package stops parsing at the first positional argument, so `status <run-id> --state-dir X` looked the run up in the default directory and reported it missing. `rollback` would have inherited the same footgun on a command whose flags decide what gets overwritten. Still open: `confirm` cannot set RollbackWindowClosed. Rollback honours the flag and refuses when it's set, but closing the window is the point of no return for the backups this restores from, so it should land with the retention policy 6 describes rather than before it. Verified end to end against a fake systemd deployment: half-migrated data restored to its original contents, failed state preserved, old binary reinstalled and reporting 0.15.5, unit restarted, and a re-run of the completed rollback inert. |

Fix module path and restore cmd/ omitted by gitignore
Rename module github.com/johnellis/stalwart-migrator -> github.com/LINUXexpert-org/stalwart-migrator to match the repository location, so the module resolves under `go get`. The initial commit's .gitignore listed the compiled binary as a bare `stalwart-migrate` pattern, which Git matches at any depth -- so it also excluded the cmd/stalwart-migrate/ source directory, and the initial commit shipped without the CLI entrypoint. Anchor the pattern to the repo root as /stalwart-migrate and add the four missing files. go build, go vet, and go test ./... all pass. |
