The publish workflow only built a tag whose commit is on main. That keeps
every image tied to reviewed code, but it means production can only get a
fix together with everything that has landed on main since its release.
A tag on a release/* branch is now accepted too. A hotfix branch starts at
an earlier release tag, takes fixes through pull requests into it (so the
code is still reviewed and CI-tested before it is tagged), bumps
brand_version! and is tagged there. The tag must still equal
v<brand_version!>, and the step prints which branch it was found on.
A tag runs the workflow file from its own commit, so a hotfix branch that
starts before this change needs this commit cherry-picked onto it before
its tag is pushed.
The report scheduler dropped DMARC and TLS events on a node whose role
lacks outboundMta (upstream never started it there, so they sat in a
channel nobody read). Mail received on a front node therefore never
reached an aggregate report, which is meant to cover all of a domain's
inbound mail, whichever node received it. In rehearsal, five messages
received on port 25 on a front node were missing from every report.
- The report scheduler records on every node. Recording is a store write
the nodes already share, so it needs nothing from the outbound MTA.
Building and sending a report (the DmarcReport and TlsReport tasks) stay
with outboundMta nodes, as the task manager already enforces.
- More nodes now append to one report at once. Appends already guard the
report's versioned primary key; a write that loses now retries up to ten
times after a short random pause, not three times at once.
- The node sending a report deletes it only if it is unchanged since it
was read, and reads it again otherwise, so a record another node appends
meanwhile goes out with the report instead of being deleted unsent.
Test: cluster::front_reports (PostgreSQL and MySQL). A front node's
results appear in the report the MTA node sends, alongside eight appended
at once from both nodes, and the front node never runs the report task.
It fails on main: the front node's results are never recorded.
Setting deliverAt on an internal DMARC or TLS report wrote the new task
queue row with the report's object type (0x21, 0x6e) instead of the task
type (7, 8), and left the task row at its old due. The task manager's scan
failed on that row with store.data-corruption ("Failed to iterate over task
queue"), and because the error ended the whole scan, every task due after
the row stopped running on every node.
- reschedule_ops writes the new queue row through schedule_task_with_id, so
it carries the task type and the task row gets the new due. It removes
the row the task is actually queued under (the task's due, which differs
from deliverAt once the task has been retried) and any row an earlier
reschedule left at deliverAt.
- x:DmarcInternalReport/set and x:TlsInternalReport/set lock the report's
task while they move it, as x:Task/set does, refuse while the report is
being sent, release the locks however the request ends, and wake the task
manager.
- The task manager logs a queue row it can't read (id, due, key, value) and
skips it instead of ending the scan. It then repairs the row from its task:
the row is rewritten with the task's type, and a row with no task behind
it is removed. A row holding a report's object type for a report task is
what the old reschedule wrote: the task is moved to that row's time, as
the reschedule intended, and its old queue row is removed. Stores that
already hold such a row recover on their own once it comes due.
- x:Task/query with a type filter skips an unreadable row instead of
failing.
Test: smtp::reporting::reschedule (RocksDB and PostgreSQL). It fails on
main: x:Task/get shows the old due, and with that check removed, neither
report nor a later task ever runs.
In cluster rehearsal 3, turning outboundMta off on node1's role was
reported applied (x:settingsReload applied: true), yet node1 kept
delivering mail, a report message included, until it was restarted.
The queue and report managers were started at boot only when the
node's role included outboundMta (crates/smtp/src/lib.rs), and the task
manager only when the role had some task type (spawn_task_manager).
After that nothing looked at the role again: a queue manager that was
running kept claiming and delivering, and one that wasn't never
started.
They now start on every node (outside recovery mode) and follow the
role live:
- Queue manager: before each scan it reads the role from the running
settings. Without outboundMta it claims nothing new; deliveries
already running finish and report back as usual, which releases
their locks. When the role comes back (a reload wakes the manager
with ReloadSettings, and it looks again every 30 s regardless) it
logs queue.started and scans the whole queue at once.
- Report scheduler: DMARC and TLS report events are handled only while
the role has outboundMta, as at boot; events arriving without it are
dropped, as they were on a node started without the role.
- Task manager: task_enabled already read the current role on every
scan. It now also runs on nodes whose role has no task type (the
scan returns at once until one is added), a job claimed before a
role change is handed back at once rather than run or held until
its lease lapses, and a settings reload wakes the manager so a role
that gained task types starts claiming them straight away.
Starting the queue manager on every node also drains the queue channel
on nodes without outboundMta. Upstream left that channel unread, so
each message queued there parked a refresh in it, and by the code,
queueing would block once 1024 had piled up (not reproduced here).
A role object edit reaches the nodes that name that role in
INBUXA_ROLE. Moving a node to another role still means changing its
environment, and so a restart. Listener changes in a role still need a
restart too (listeners bind at boot); this change is about tasks and
delivery.
cluster::live_roles::live_role_tests (new; PostgreSQL, two nodes over
one store):
1. A node started with outboundMta delivers and runs a TLS report
task; after its role loses outboundMta and the settings reload, a
new message isn't attempted and a new report task stays pending;
with the role back, both are taken up.
2. A node started with no task type at all gains outboundMta: a
waiting message is attempted and a report task runs.
On main the test fails at step 1 ("delivery attempted without
outboundMta"); with step 1 bypassed, step 2 fails (nothing picked the
message up in 20 s).
Cluster rehearsal 3: with PostgreSQL paused (docker pause, so its
kernel still answered TCP keepalives), requests on connections already
checked out hung until it came back, and /healthz/ready stayed 200
through the outage. #41 bounded getting a connection, not using one.
Client-side query limits (store::backend::query_timeout). Every
operation on a PostgreSQL or MySQL connection now runs under a time
limit. A server-side statement_timeout (or MySQL's MAX_EXECUTION_TIME,
which covers SELECTs only) can't do this: the server that would enforce
it is the one not answering. When an operation runs out, its connection
is closed instead of pooled, since a query may still be in flight on it
or a transaction open: deadpool's Object::take on PostgreSQL;
Conn::disconnect on MySQL, which marks the connection closed before it
sends anything, so the pool discards it even when the server never
answers.
- query, 2 minutes: reads, writes (the whole transaction with its
retries), blobs, SQL lookups, search queries and indexing. These take
milliseconds; two minutes leaves room for a large blob over a slow
link and still ends a hang.
- maintenance, 30 minutes: range deletes (account removal, purges),
unindexing, purge_store, and creating tables and indexes at startup,
which can legitimately run long in one statement. Their existing
chunked fallback for server-side statement timeouts is unchanged.
- iterate (exports, reindexing, maintenance scans) can run for hours,
so the query limit bounds each wait for the database (preparing, the
query starting, the next row) rather than the whole scan.
The limits are fixed, like the pool timeouts; the DataStore schema has
no field for them. Tests set them with Store::with_query_timeouts
(test_mode only).
Readiness. /healthz/ready answered 200 whenever a data store was
configured. It now reads one key from the data store with a 2 s limit
and reuses the answer for 2 s, so probes can't load the database;
while one probe runs, others get the last answer. The first failed
probe of an outage is logged. /healthz/live stays 200: restarting a
node doesn't bring its database back, and an orchestrator restarting on
failed liveness would restart every node at once. The container
HEALTHCHECK already uses /healthz/live.
Tests, store::pool_timeout (a proxy that stops forwarding while
keeping connections open plays the paused database):
- postgres_query_timeout, mysql_query_timeout (new): with four pooled
connections open, a read, a scan and a write each fail with "Query
timed out" 2.0 s after the pause (2 s test limit); once the proxy
forwards again the store answers. With the limits set to an hour
(upstream's behavior), the read was still waiting at the test's 20 s
limit.
- postgres_readiness (new, STORE=PostgreSql): a node's data store
goes through the proxy; /healthz/ready is 200, 503 about 4 s after
the pause while /healthz/live stays 200, and 200 again about 2 s
after it ends.
- postgres_pool_timeout, mysql_pool_timeout: pass as before.
store::store_tests (PostgreSql, MySql, including the MariaDB statement
timeout step) and store::task_locks (PostgreSql) pass;
store::search_tests (PostgreSql) fails at the same ordering assertion
(query.rs:684) as on main.
A three-node rehearsal on PostgreSQL saw searches take about 185 ms
with 80 to 260 pages in the full-text indexes' pending lists, 2 to 6 ms
right after gin_clean_pending_list() or VACUUM, then creep back up as
mail came in. The search tables' GIN indexes were created with the
default fastupdate=on: new entries wait in an unindexed pending list
that every search scans in full until VACUUM (or 4 MB of backlog)
merges it, and autovacuum only visits an insert-only table after
thousands of inserts.
The search GIN indexes are now created WITH (fastupdate = off), so an
insert pays its index update at once. The schema step runs at every
startup (create_search_tables, via SearchStore::create_indexes), so
indexes made before this change are switched there: when an index's
reloptions don't already turn fastupdate off, ALTER INDEX ... SET
(fastupdate = off) and one gin_clean_pending_list() merge its backlog.
The ALTER takes a SHARE UPDATE EXCLUSIVE lock, which blocks neither
reads nor writes; after the first startup the step is one catalog read
per index. A failure is logged and startup goes on (search still
works, only slower).
Per-table autovacuum settings for the search tables are left alone.
The pending list was the only reason the insert threshold mattered for
search; dead tuples and freezing are served by the defaults, and table
settings would override whatever tuning the DBA has done.
MySQL is unaffected: InnoDB FULLTEXT keeps new entries in an in-memory
cache that queries read directly, with no setting like fastupdate.
store::search_gin::postgres_gin_fastupdate (new, PostgreSQL) builds
the search schema in a schema of its own and checks pg_class.reloptions:
fastupdate=off on every GIN index of a fresh schema; then, with the
option reset to the default and 500 rows pending, one startup turns it
off everywhere and leaves no pending tuples (pgstatginindex); a second
startup changes nothing. On main it fails at the first check.
write_reload_target sent AllowedIp writes to the blocked-IP reload, but
that reload rebuilds only BlockedIps. Allowed IPs are parsed into the
core's security settings (Security::parse), which only a full reload
rebuilds, so an AllowedIp write reported x:settingsReload applied: true
while the change wasn't live until the next full reload.
AllowedIp now maps to the full reload, like the other settings objects;
BlockedIp keeps its targeted reload.
system::auto_reload::settings_reload_tests now creates an allowed IP
over JMAP and checks that is_ip_allowed sees it with no ReloadSettings,
and that destroying it takes it out again. On main it fails ("allowed
IP not in the running settings").
A 3-node rehearsal (PostgreSQL + NATS + Garage) found two ways a crash
leaves work stuck:
Pool hangs. The PostgreSQL pool (deadpool) was built with no timeouts,
so a request waited for a free connection, and for one to be opened or
recycled, for as long as it took: forever when the server stopped
answering. MySQL's pool (mysql_async) has no wait timeout at all.
- PostgreSQL: wait 30 s (or the store's timeout if longer), create the
store's timeout or 15 s (it bounds the whole handshake, where
tokio-postgres's connect_timeout covers only the TCP connect), recycle
10 s. The pool config is now always set, not only with
poolMaxConnections.
- MySQL: every connection is taken through MysqlStore::conn(), which
gives up after 30 s.
- Both: TCP keepalive after 60 s idle, so a server that vanished
without closing the connection is noticed in minutes rather than the
two-hour system default.
The DataStore schema has no pool timeout settings, so these are fixed
defaults; the store's own timeout bounds connecting on PostgreSQL.
Task locks. A task lock lasted an hour, so after a hard crash the dead
node's tasks waited up to an hour and five minutes. The lock is now a
five-minute lease: while this node runs a task, the task manager renews
its lock every third of the lifetime (InMemoryStore::renew_lock, a
compare-and-set on the store backends and SET XX EX on Redis, which
leaves a lock that already expired alone). A killed node's tasks run
elsewhere within about five minutes plus the claim recheck. A task this
node holds isn't handed to a worker again by the scan.
store::pool_timeout (new): a local listener that accepts connections
and never answers plays a hung server; a PostgreSQL store with a 2 s
timeout returns an error in about 4 s, and a MySQL store in 30 s.
Without the timeouts both wait for good. store::task_locks gains a
task held for 1.5 lock lifetimes: its lease is still held, and released
when the task ends.
A 3-node rehearsal found taskQueueProcessing didn't filter anything:
roles.task_manager only decided whether the task manager started, and
report, ACME, DKIM, DNS, calendar, thread-merge and restore tasks ran on
any node with a task manager (manager.rs returned true for them). A node
whose role left taskQueueProcessing off still ran them if it indexed or
did maintenance.
Every task type now answers to one ClusterTaskType (task_enabled):
- IndexDocument, UnindexDocument, IndexTrace: searchIndexing
- AccountMaintenance, TenantMaintenance, DestroyAccount:
accountMaintenance
- StoreMaintenance: storeMaintenance
- SpamFilterMaintenance: spamClassifierTraining
- DmarcReport, TlsReport: outboundMta. They build and send reports to
other domains (TLS reports can go straight to an HTTPS endpoint),
which is the outbound MTA's business.
- CalendarAlarmEmail, CalendarAlarmNotification, CalendarItipMessage,
MergeThreads, RestoreArchivedItem, AcmeRenewal, DkimManagement,
DnsManagement: taskQueueProcessing, the role for queue tasks with no
role of their own.
A node that may not run a task leaves it unclaimed (no lock), so a node
that may picks it up. The task manager also starts on a node whose only
task role is outboundMta, so reports still run there.
cluster::task_roles::task_role_tests (new, two task managers over one
PostgreSQL store): node A (taskQueueProcessing only) runs a DNS task and
leaves an unindex task and a TLS report pending; node B (searchIndexing
and outboundMta) comes up and runs those two; a DNS task scheduled next
stays pending on B and runs on A. On main node A runs the TLS report.
A 3-node rehearsal found that saving an MtaDeliverySchedule left it
unknown to the queue ("Queue strategy not found") until someone ran
x:Action ReloadSettings; only Directory and Authentication writes
reloaded (DIR-17). The admin UI has to remember a separate reload after
every save, and a script or API client that doesn't gets a server
running stale settings.
x:<Object>/set now reloads the running settings when it created,
updated or destroyed an object they are built from, and broadcasts the
same RegistryChange::Reload over the coordinator as ReloadSettings, so
every node applies it:
- Settings objects (MTA, spam filter, listeners, tracers, Sieve system
scripts, cluster roles, directories, ...: the object types the core,
telemetry, listener and directory builders read) get a full reload.
- Certificates, lookup stores and blocked/allowed IPs get their own
targeted reloads.
- Accounts, domains, roles and other data read as needed, stores (they
take a restart) and applications (their own reload action) get none.
Full reloads are coalesced: a write waits for a reload that started
after it was stored and joins one if it can, so a burst of writes, or
a request with many objects, costs one or two reloads, not one each.
The write itself is never undone. When the reload is refused (build
errors in objects that were working, the rule from the previous
commit), the set response says so in a new x:settingsReload field,
{"applied": false, "description": "Saved, but the running settings
were not reloaded. <object>: <error>"}; {"applied": true} otherwise.
The field is absent when the write needs no reload. The description
helper is shared with ReloadSettings' refusal.
Each reload sends the queue a ReloadSettings event, so the SMTP test
harness's read_event, try_read_event and assert_no_events now pass over
those; expect_reload_settings still waits for one.
system::auto_reload::settings_reload_tests (new): an MtaVirtualQueue
and an MtaDeliverySchedule created over JMAP are in the running
settings with no ReloadSettings, and gone once destroyed; eight
concurrent creates all land; a write whose reload fails is stored and
reported applied: false with the error; a domain write carries no
x:settingsReload. On main the new schedule is missing. The cluster
broadcast test (three nodes, PostgreSQL + NATS) now checks that every
node has a schedule created on node 0 without a reload.
A 3-node rehearsal found every settings reload refused, cluster-wide,
because one node couldn't resolve the Pyzor server:
- PyzorConfig::parse resolved the host while building the settings and
made a failed lookup a build error. It now keeps the host and port and
resolves when a message is checked (an IP address is used as is, a
name is reused for five minutes, the lookup counts against the Pyzor
timeout). A failure there is a Pyzor error for that message.
- A milter's hostname was resolved the same way, with a blocking
to_socket_addrs in async code. An IP address is kept; a name is now
resolved on each connection.
Other build-time I/O is already non-fatal: directories that can't
connect become unavailable with a warning (DIR-21), and the AI model
locality check only warns.
reload_registry swapped the core only when the whole build was free of
errors, while boot runs with whatever built. One failing object thus
refused every later reload, and the running settings went stale. Now a
reload is refused only for errors in objects that built when the
running settings were built (at boot or by the last applied reload):
applying it would lose those. Objects that already failed then are
missing from the running settings anyway, as at boot, so their errors
are logged and returned as known_errors but don't hold the reload back.
Refusing on new errors keeps a bad edit from taking a working object
out of service; the admin gets the error instead.
ReloadSettings now says "Settings were not reloaded." and names the
object and its error ("Tracer with id ...: Only one console tracer is
allowed"), with a count of any further errors. A refused reload after a
directory change logs its errors too.
system::reload::reload_tests (new): with Pyzor enabled on an
unresolvable host, ReloadSettings succeeds (on main it fails with
"Invalid address: failed to lookup address information"); an IP host
needs no lookup; a new build error refuses the reload, names the object
and leaves the running settings unchanged; the same error, once known
from the running settings' build, no longer blocks; once fixed, a new
error there blocks again. smtp::inbound::milter's session test now
names its milter "localhost", so the connect-time lookup is exercised.
A 3-node PostgreSQL rehearsal found IMAP SEARCH FROM "noreply" matched
0-2 messages where RocksDB matched 23 of 930. The message indexer hands
each address and display name of From/To/Cc/Bcc to the search store as
keyword text (Language::None). The built-in index splits keyword text
into lowercase runs of alphanumerics, so an address is found by its full
form, its local part, its domain or a display-name word. The SQL
backends didn't:
- PostgreSQL's text parser keeps "[email protected]" as one email
token (host names and URLs likewise), so neither "noreply" nor
"amazon.com" ever matched it. Keyword text is now split the same way
as the built-in index (SpaceTokenizer) before to_tsvector on insert
and before plainto_tsquery/phraseto_tsquery on search, still under
the 'simple' configuration, so the GIN index keeps serving the query.
The sort columns keep the raw text.
- MySQL's FULLTEXT parser already splits on punctuation, but InnoDB
never indexes its stopwords ("com", "de", "www", ...) or words under
innodb_ft_min_token_size (3), and a required +word it hasn't indexed
matches no row. So "amazon.com", "[email protected]" or "jane doe" found
nothing. Those words are now matched with a word-boundary REGEXP on
the rows the indexed words select. In language text (bodies,
subjects) they are dropped when other words remain, and only checked
when nothing else is left, so "the invoice" no longer finds nothing
either.
Existing PostgreSQL search indexes hold the old single-token vectors and
need a reindex (the reindexAccounts task) before address searches find
old messages. MySQL needs none: only the query changed.
store::search_tests gains test_address_search: five messages, 28
FROM/TO/CC/BCC searches by full address, local part, domain, domain
labels, display name and hyphenated local part, plus a TEXT-style OR,
with the same expected ids on every backend. It passes on RocksDB,
SQLite, PostgreSQL and MySQL; on main it fails on PostgreSQL (From
"noreply") and MySQL (From "[email protected]").
A node that started while NATS was down never got a coordinator. The
connect failed at boot, bootstrap recorded a build error and the node ran
with Coordinator::None until restarted. It had no broadcast subscriber
or publisher, so cross-node push and cache invalidation to it stayed
broken, and its healthcheck said nothing about it. Losing NATS after
startup was silent too.
- The NATS client now connects in the background
(retry_on_initial_connect): startup never waits on NATS or fails over
it, the node gets its coordinator, subscriber and publisher at once,
and the client keeps trying (async-nats's backoff, at most 4 s apart)
until NATS answers. Subscriptions made meanwhile start delivering when
it does. A configured maxReconnects still ends the attempts.
- Three new events report the connection: cluster.coordinator-connected
(info), cluster.coordinator-disconnected (warn: lost, closed, gave up,
or not connected within the connection timeout at startup) and
cluster.coordinator-error (warn: a failed attempt, reported once per
outage rather than every retry, and server errors, slow consumers and
lame duck mode). They are in the packaged schema, ids 644 to 646.
- GET /healthz/cluster reports the coordinator: 200
{"coordinator":"connected"}, 503 {"coordinator":"disconnected"}, or
200 with "none" (no coordinator) or "unknown" (a backend that doesn't
track its connection). /healthz/live and /healthz/ready are unchanged
on purpose: a node without its coordinator still serves mail, and
failing those would have orchestrators restart, or pull out of
service, every node at once whenever NATS is down.
Only NATS connects lazily; the other coordinator backends still fail at
boot as before.
cluster::coordinator::coordinator_reconnect_tests starts a node against a
NATS port with nothing behind it, checks it boots with a coordinator and
reports it disconnected, subscribes, then starts NATS on that port: the
node connects on its own and the subscription receives a message from a
second client. Stopping and restarting NATS shows disconnected, then
connected, and the same subscription keeps working.
A cluster rehearsal (PostgreSQL + NATS) left index tasks pending well
past the one-hour task lock after the node that claimed them was stopped
or killed. The exact cause there isn't confirmed; this closes every path
found in the task manager that stretches a takeover past the lock, or
keeps a task claimed without running it:
- A graceful stop never released the locks it held, so every task the
node had claimed stayed blocked for an hour. The server now tracks the
locks it holds (common::ipc::TaskLocks) and, once the shutdown signal
arrives, stops claiming and releases them before exiting.
- A node that failed to claim a task (another node held it) set its own
local hold for a full lock lifetime from that scan. If the holder
claimed it just after the scan began, or ran on a clock ahead, that
hold ran out a moment before the lock did and was set for another
hour: two hours in all. Such claims are now tried again every five
minutes (a twelfth of the lock lifetime), and the task manager wakes
up for them: before, a node without a coordinator could sleep up to
five minutes past the recheck, or until something else woke it.
- A worker that panicked took its task type down on that node for good,
while the scan kept claiming that type's tasks and failing to hand them
over, re-taking each lock as it expired and so starving every other
node of them. Each batch now runs on a task of its own; a panic is
logged, the batch's locks are released and the worker carries on. A
failed hand-over releases the lock too.
- A claimed task the worker couldn't read, or found gone, kept its lock
for the hour. It is released.
- An IndexDocument task for a file (not indexed) returned no result,
which shifted every later result in the batch onto the wrong task in
update_tasks. It returns Ignored. Nothing queues such a task today.
The lock lifetime stays one hour; it now lives per server so the tests
can shorten it.
store::task_locks::task_lock_tests plays a second node by writing its
locks straight into the in-memory store: tasks it claimed and abandoned
run here once its locks expire, including locks that outlive this node's
view of them, and a graceful stop hands this node's locks back at once
and claims nothing more. It passes on RocksDB, SQLite and PostgreSQL.
With the old recheck it fails.
Two release builds side by side on one machine each take twice as long,
and production only needs amd64. publish-amd64 now pushes :<version> as
soon as the amd64 build is done; publish-arm64 builds arm64 afterwards,
then replaces :<version> with the two-platform index and moves :latest.
Both jobs use one named BuildKit builder whose container outlives the
job, so the dependency layer (cargo chef cook) is reused until the
dependencies change. The release is created after amd64; the binaries
are attached once arm64 is in.
The trace index task wrote the event type (its name) and the queue id as
text, but the tracing search index types both as integers on every
backend: BIGINT on PostgreSQL and MySQL, long on Elasticsearch. On
PostgreSQL every batch holding a trace document failed with "cannot
convert between the Rust type String and the Postgres type int8", and
since a batch writes trace and email documents together, email indexing
stalled behind it.
The document is now built by trace_search_document(), which writes:
- the event type as the opening event's numeric id, the event
x:Trace/query's event filter already matches on;
- the queue id as an integer, the first one the trace names;
- every queue id into the keywords as well, since the column holds one
value and an SMTP session can queue several messages.
index_keyword() replaced the field on every call, so before this only the
last event type and queue id survived anyway.
x:Trace/query's queueId filter parses the id (a string, or now a number)
and matches the column or the keywords, so a session is found by any of
its queue ids on every backend. The monitoring spec says what is indexed.
Traces indexed before this on the built-in index keep their text values;
the reindexTelemetry maintenance task rebuilds them.
Tests: the search store suite builds trace documents with the index
task's code, indexes them and finds them by queue id, event type and
keyword (Sqlite, PostgreSQL, MySQL); the monitoring suite finds a real
trace by queueId through x:Trace/query.
The broadcast subscriber waited 1 << retry_count.max(6) seconds between
failed subscribe attempts. max(6) turns the cap into a floor: the first
retry waited 64 s instead of 1 s, and each later one doubled without a
bound (and would overflow the shift after enough failures).
The delay now comes from subscribe_retry_delay(), 1 s, 2 s, 4 s ... capped
at 64 s, and the retry counter saturates. A unit test pins the schedule
and the top of the range.
--export skipped three things, so a move from one database to another
(RocksDB to PostgreSQL, say) lost them without a word:
- archived items (subspace j), the records behind undelete;
- spam training samples (subspace w);
- the trained spam classifier and its trainer state, blobs stored under
fixed names that no blob link points at, so the walk over links never
reached them.
j and w now travel with the registry family, where their indexes and id
counters already were, so EXPORT_TYPES=registry keeps them consistent.
The two named blobs travel with the blob family. The file format is
unchanged and import reads any subspace it is given, so an export made
by an older binary still imports.
The full-text index (subspace z) stays out, on purpose. It belongs to one
search backend: PostgreSQL and MySQL index into their own tables and have
no z table at all, and external engines keep the index themselves. So
--import now returns the subspaces it wrote, and boot queues the
reindexAccounts and reindexTelemetry store maintenance tasks, the same
ones an administrator can queue by hand, to rebuild the index for
whichever search store the server runs with once it starts.
The round trip also turned up a loss in import itself: the SQL stores
add a negative amount with an UPDATE, which does nothing to a row that
isn't there yet, so every negative counter or quota vanished on import
into PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQLite. Import now creates the row first.
The in-memory subspaces (m, y) stay out: rate limits, locks, greylisting,
ACME challenge tokens and OAuth codes, all short-lived. Issued
certificates are registry objects and travel.
The store test now writes archived items, spam samples, directory
entries, the fork's own subspace and the named blobs, checks they come
back in place, then imports the same export into a fresh store of the
other local backend (RocksDB to SQLite, or SQLite to RocksDB), compares
it key for key and counter for counter, and checks the queued reindex.
It fails on the old export code ("Subspace j was not exported").
--help now says what an export holds.
#27 let the build context see vendor/, but the Dockerfile cooks the
dependencies before it copies the tree, from a recipe that carries only the
workspace's manifests. [patch.crates-io] points sieve-rs at vendor/, so the
cook failed the same way: failed to read /build/vendor/sieve-rs/Cargo.toml.
That's why 2026.9.24.2's publish failed. The builder stage now copies
vendor/ before cooking; a local build got past it into compiling the
dependencies.
context-check.py now also checks that each patched path is copied into the
cooking stage before the cook, and fails on the Dockerfile as it was.
Replaces 2026.9.24, whose tag predates the image build fix (#27) and never
published. Carries everything 2026.9.24 did -- upstream 0.16.23 and its
fixes, the scim release-profile fix -- and since then:
- identifiers renamed from the upstream name, with no aliases: the JMAP
registry capability is urn:inbuxa:jmap:registry, WebDAV tokens
urn:inbuxa:dav*, Sieve extensions vnd.inbuxa.*, the web interface client
inbuxa-webui; INBUXA_* settings only. Deploy with admin and webmail
releases that use the new names.
- the brand in lowercase where people see it.
- the spam filter rules bundled with the server; on first start they add
the AI classifier's LLM_* scores.
- a Local AI page link in Settings › Spam Filter, for the admin release
that draws it.
- two start-up migrations: the spam model moves to its renamed keys, and
the web interface's old OAuth client is retired.
Adds a link to CustomComponent/LocalAi in the packaged schema's Settings ›
Spam Filter, above LLM Classifier, and updates the schema hash so admins
fetch the new layout rather than a cached one.
INBUXA Admin draws the page (feature/local-ai-setup); this makes it
reachable. An admin from before that page would show "Unknown component"
here, so this lands after the admin release that carries it.
The server fetched upstream's latest published rules from GitHub at run
time: a version nobody here tested, code-like expressions from an account
we don't control, and the upstream name as a default in the admin form.
The published rules of spam-filter v3.0.2 are now embedded
(resources/spam-filter/, MIT, in THIRD-PARTY.md) and used whenever no other
source is configured. An empty setting and upstream's old default both mean
the bundled rules, so existing installs switch without a settings change;
the URL stays an operator override (https:// or file://). The schema default
is dropped and its description says what empty means, and the strip's
rename pass does the same to each import.
Rules load on first boot as before, and again whenever the bundled version
differs from the last one loaded, which only adds missing rules and tags.
That brings the AI classifier's LLM_* scores to installs that predate them:
production has none today.
upstream-watch now also opens an issue when spam-filter publishes a newer
release; resources/spam-filter/README.md says how to take it.
The antispam test now runs on the bundled rules, the path production
takes; SPAM_RULES_URL tests another set. Unit tests cover the URL handling
and that the bundled rules parse and score the AI tags as the AI spec says.
The rename pass vendored a patched sieve-rs and pointed Cargo.toml's
[patch.crates-io] at vendor/sieve-rs. .dockerignore ignores everything and
re-includes a short list that did not have vendor on it, so the image build
had no such directory and stopped at
failed to load source for dependency `sieve-rs`
failed to read /build/vendor/sieve-rs/Cargo.toml
CI could not have caught that: it builds from a checkout, where the
directory is simply there, and only the image build has a context to prune.
The first that was known about it was a tag that had already been pushed.
So: vendor is re-included, and tools/fork/context-check.py now asserts the
thing that was quietly assumed -- every path a [patch] section names exists
and survives .dockerignore. It runs beside the other fork checks and takes
no toolchain.
Also, the comments in .dockerignore started with // , which Docker does not
read as a comment: they were patterns that happened to match nothing. They
are # now.
v2026.9.24 was tagged on a commit CI had passed, and its release build could
not compile crates/scim at all:
error: queries overflow the depth limit!
= note: query depth increased by 130 when computing layout of
{async fn body of context::<impl ...>::writable_domain()}
The crate is ours, and the failure is profile-dependent: the release profile
computes those async fn layouts in one go and goes past rustc's default query
depth, while the dev profile never gets that far. CI builds dev, so CI was
green on a commit that could not be released. The tag produced no image and
no release, which is the one merciful part.
Two changes:
- #![recursion_limit = "256"] on the crate, which is what rustc itself
suggests, with a note saying why it only shows up in release. Proved by
building -p scim in release locally: it now finishes.
- CI builds the release profile too, on pushes to main. Pull requests stay
on dev, where the wait is worth less. A few minutes per merge is cheaper
than learning this from a tag, which throws away a multi-architecture
build and leaves a version half-cut.
