Modules had no way to be told anything. Announcements — the first real product Ekklesia will absorb — has zero environment variables and compiles a LAN IP address into its source, so this is the contract standing between it and the module system. - A module declares what it needs in its manifest, using six bounded types (string, integer, boolean, enum, url, secret) with no nesting and no regular expressions. Static declaration is what lets the platform validate configuration *before* deciding whether a module may start: an enabled module missing a required value is reported `blocked · configuration_missing · <key>` rather than taking startup down from inside its own `start` hook, and Doctor reports the same while still importing no module code. That forces `manifestVersion: 5`, a hard cutover. - Ordinary values persist in one Core table (migration 0005), one row per (module_id, key), stored as text until validated against the declaring module's current manifest. Nothing is coerced; an invalid stored value blocks the module rather than falling back to the default. A key the manifest no longer declares is retained and ignored. - Secrets are never persisted. There is no encryption at rest in this repository, so a `secret` key is deployment-supplied and mapped in by the host under a name the module never sees. A secret declaration has no `default` field, the write API refuses secret material, and the HTTP view has no `value` field for one — absent by construction, not filtered. - Modules receive a frozen `context.config` on the registration, runtime, and HTTP handler contexts: the same object identity, per module, beside `services` rather than inside it (services is deliberately one shared instance). No environment access, no database reference, no way to reach another module's values. - Configuration decides eligibility through ADR 0028's existing resolver: three new blocked reasons, each with a distinct operator fix, propagating to required dependents through the same mechanism as a disabled module. - Changes take effect at the next restart; both resources report restartRequired. New restricted permission `core.modules.configuration.manage`, separate from lifecycle, at the sibling prefix `/api/v1/module-configuration`. - Migration participation stays independent of configuration validity. Endpoints and credentials for shared infrastructure stay platform concerns; a module declares which bucket it needs, not an S3 endpoint. See ADR 0029.

# Testing
|
||
|
||
Ekklesia separates fast code-level evidence from live infrastructure evidence.
|
||
|
||
## Unit and repository verification
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pnpm test
|
||
pnpm verify
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
These commands exercise package tests, repository boundaries, type checking, offline Core and
|
||
module migration discovery, identity schema drift detection, formatting, linting, and builds.
|
||
Migration-runner unit tests use a narrow database/session port to prove deterministic planning,
|
||
approval, transaction orchestration, cleanup, and sanitized errors. They do not claim to prove
|
||
PostgreSQL behavior. Identity unit tests cover branded opaque-ID contracts, principal shapes,
|
||
configuration validation (secret rules, canonical-origin-only base URL and trusted origins, and the
|
||
full loopback/unspecified classifier production rejects — `.localhost`, all of `127.0.0.0/8`,
|
||
`0.0.0.0`, `::1` compressed and expanded, `::`, and IPv4-mapped forms), bounded/validated
|
||
connection and operation (`query_timeout`/`statement_timeout`) database timeouts, the Core identity
|
||
runtime (explicit construction, exact schema mapping, only email/password and rate limiting
|
||
enabled, an explicit `advanced.disableCSRFCheck`/`disableOriginCheck: false` pair, an explicit
|
||
error-only sanitized logger that strips Better Auth's own message and arguments regardless of what
|
||
they contain, pinned 8–128 password-length bounds, sanitized failures, exact whole-name
|
||
session-cookie detection that never fires on a prefixed, suffixed, or differently-cased lookalike,
|
||
and that a broken session store during principal resolution is never silently reported as anonymous
|
||
while an unrelated cookie performs no identity database work at all), the PostgreSQL transport
|
||
policy (`core/tests/database-transport.test.ts`: mode validation including every loose or aliased
|
||
spelling, production's plaintext refusal with no loopback exception, connection-string
|
||
TLS-parameter rejection, and that no configuration path yields `rejectUnauthorized: false` or leaks
|
||
CA material into an error), and Core migration discovery (deterministic ordering, the reserved
|
||
`core` identity, and collision rejection) — all without a live database. `apps/api`'s own unit tests cover its pure Hono app factory (route shapes, module
|
||
route mounting/enforcement/CORS/response sanitization, CORS allow/deny/preflight, deterministic 404
|
||
and sanitized error responses), its runtime configuration, its idempotent shutdown lifecycle
|
||
(concurrent callers share one server-close-then-module-runtime-stop-then-pool-close promise; a
|
||
module-stop failure never prevents pool cleanup; a startup failure after the pool was already
|
||
created still closes it, stopping the module runtime first if it had already started;
|
||
`SIGINT`/`SIGTERM` wiring is exercised through an injectable exit function rather than the real
|
||
`process.exit`), and that importing any of its modules — including the executable server module
|
||
without calling its exported `main` — never reads the environment, connects to PostgreSQL, imports
|
||
a module entrypoint, or starts a server. Real, working (non-throwing) module fixtures prove
|
||
production module-runtime startup/shutdown ordering and cleanup against a mocked pool/Better
|
||
Auth/server — see [Authorization](authorization.md#tests).
|
||
|
||
`pnpm verify` is intentionally Docker-free. It never plans or applies migrations against a live
|
||
database.
|
||
|
||
## Live PostgreSQL migration evidence
|
||
|
||
Docker and the Docker Compose plugin are required for the live suite:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
pnpm test:migrations:integration
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The command first builds the workspace through the repository's Turbo build graph, then starts the
|
||
repository's pinned PostgreSQL image in a unique Compose project, waits for bounded health
|
||
readiness, runs the production PostgreSQL adapter and migration services, and removes the
|
||
container, network, and volume. A build failure occurs before Docker provisioning. Each scenario
|
||
also receives a safely named disposable database. Direct host runs use a Docker-assigned random
|
||
port bound only to `127.0.0.1`; a containerized Gitea job joins the isolated Compose network and
|
||
uses the PostgreSQL service name.
|
||
|
||
The live suite proves fresh read-only planning, initial and incremental application, genuine
|
||
no-op behavior, exact applied checksums and history, edited or corrupt history rejection,
|
||
whole-batch DDL rollback, Drizzle breakpoint execution, real advisory-lock concurrency and
|
||
timeouts, lock release after failure, exact destructive approvals, and public-error sanitization.
|
||
It does not make migrations automatic during Core startup.
|
||
|
||
A dedicated set of scenarios exercises the committed Core identity migration against real
|
||
PostgreSQL: read-only planning on a fresh database, applying it and confirming exactly the four
|
||
expected `ekklesia_core_*` tables and their indexes exist, a genuine no-op on a second apply, Core
|
||
executing before a fixture module migration in one batch, previously applied module-only history
|
||
staying byte-for-byte unchanged once Core is introduced, and a later module migration's failure
|
||
rolling back cleanly without damaging the already-committed Core identity migration or leaking the
|
||
advisory lock.
|
||
|
||
A second dedicated suite (`apps/api/tests/api-http.integration.ts`, included in the same
|
||
`pnpm test:migrations:integration` run) starts the real `apps/api` HTTP server against a freshly
|
||
migrated disposable database and exercises it with real HTTP requests: public sign-up (with no
|
||
automatic session, per `autoSignIn: false`), explicit sign-in producing a host-only
|
||
`HttpOnly`/`SameSite=Lax`/secure session cookie, `/api/v1/principal` for both the authenticated and
|
||
anonymous shapes, sign-out actually invalidating the session, a malformed or missing cookie
|
||
resolving as anonymous, duplicate sign-up creating no second identity row, two distinct accounts
|
||
producing identical principal shapes with no elevation and no owner/role/permission data at the
|
||
database level, no plaintext password ever stored, the exact 8–128 password-length boundary (7
|
||
rejected, 8 accepted, 128 accepted, 129 rejected), CORS never returning an allow-origin header for
|
||
an untrusted origin, Better Auth's handler being unreachable outside `/api/auth/*`, a database
|
||
outage during principal resolution producing a sanitized `503` rather than a false anonymous `200`,
|
||
starting the API against an unmigrated database creating no tables at all, and a clean listener/pool
|
||
shutdown.
|
||
|
||
A dedicated group within that suite proves session-store readiness against the real database rather
|
||
than a mock, since that is the only place a broken store looks exactly like an anonymous request: a
|
||
request carrying no cookies and one carrying only an unrelated cookie both resolve as anonymous
|
||
while issuing **no** identity database work at all; a request presenting the configured session
|
||
cookie against a dropped session table, a dropped column, and a revoked `SELECT` privilege each
|
||
produce a sanitized `503 PRINCIPAL_RESOLUTION_FAILED` with no relation name, column name, SQL, or
|
||
driver text in the body or the logs; and a genuinely expired or unknown session against a healthy
|
||
store still resolves as anonymous.
|
||
|
||
The same suite also proves Better Auth's own origin/CSRF protection is production-equivalent under
|
||
the test runner, not just in a plain Node script: a no-cookie first authentication attempt succeeds
|
||
from a trusted browser origin and is rejected (`403`, no permissive CORS header, no leaked detail)
|
||
from an untrusted one; a cookie-bearing state-changing request (sign-out) is rejected the same way
|
||
from an untrusted origin, and the presented session remains valid afterward, proving the rejected
|
||
request never reached sign-out logic. See
|
||
[ADR 0012](../architecture/decisions/0012-identity-origin-csrf-protection-under-test.md) for why
|
||
this previously could not be reproduced reliably under Vitest (Better Auth's own default silently
|
||
skips these checks whenever `isTest()` is true, unless `advanced.disableOriginCheck` is set
|
||
explicitly) and how the fix removes that gap entirely. A further scenario forces a real identity
|
||
database failure and asserts, against actual `console.error`/`warn`/`log` output, that Better
|
||
Auth's own internal error logging — configured explicitly in `core/src/identity/runtime.ts` — never
|
||
emits a raw exception, SQL, connection detail, or the rejected request's origin.
|
||
|
||
A dedicated group in the API suite also drives Pass 3's explicit-grant invariants through a real
|
||
authorized grants-management session: a malformed non-UUID revoke returning a sanitized `400` with
|
||
no database work, a canonical unknown UUID returning `404`, a scoped create body returning `400`
|
||
with nothing written, normalized-impossible/non-canonical/past expirations returning `400`, an
|
||
equivalent creation returning a sanitized `409` that names no existing grant, a bounded paginated
|
||
list traversed across three pages with relationship grants absent from every one, and one HTTP
|
||
revocation clearing every unrevoked legacy equivalent with a per-row audit entry.
|
||
|
||
A third dedicated suite (`apps/api/tests/module-database.integration.ts`, included in the same
|
||
`pnpm test:migrations:integration` run) proves `context.services.database` against a real,
|
||
installed test module (`core/tests/fixtures/module-database-integration/db-facade/` — never the
|
||
repository's live `modules/` directory, and invisible to normal discovery/Doctor/`modules:validate`
|
||
unless a test explicitly points discovery at it): the module's own table does not exist until its
|
||
migration is explicitly applied, and constructing the pool or facade never creates it; `start`,
|
||
`stop`, and an authorized HTTP handler all receive the identical `ModuleRuntimeServices` object,
|
||
proven by reference equality; a real authorized mutation persists and a later read observes it,
|
||
gated by the same permission/trusted-Origin enforcement every other module route uses; a real
|
||
committed transaction persists and a real rollback (a deliberate unique-constraint violation)
|
||
leaves no partial mutation; a module deliberately catching a real PostgreSQL failure returns its
|
||
own response untouched, while an uncaught one sanitizes to the existing
|
||
`MODULE_HANDLER_FAILED` boundary with no leaked SQL, error text, or path; and a `stop` hook's write
|
||
completes and is independently verifiable, through the harness's own administrative connection —
|
||
never the API's own pool — before that pool closes. See
|
||
[ADR 0016](../architecture/decisions/0016-module-database-access.md).
|
||
|
||
A fourth dedicated suite (`core/tests/database-tls.integration.ts`, included in the same
|
||
`pnpm test:migrations:integration` run) proves the production PostgreSQL transport policy against a
|
||
real TLS-enabled PostgreSQL rather than against the shape of an options object: a trusted
|
||
certificate whose identity matches the host connects and is confirmed encrypted through
|
||
`pg_stat_ssl`; a certificate that does not chain to the configured CA is refused
|
||
(`UNABLE_TO_VERIFY_LEAF_SIGNATURE`); the same server reached through an address its certificate does
|
||
not cover is refused (`ERR_TLS_CERT_ALTNAME_INVALID`); the identical connection *without* the
|
||
policy's pinned `checkServerIdentity` succeeds, which is the concrete gap the policy closes; and
|
||
`verify-full` cannot be satisfied by a plaintext-only endpoint. Every CA, certificate, and private
|
||
key is generated at test runtime into a temporary directory and deleted afterwards — **no private
|
||
key material is ever committed to this repository** — and the disposable container is removed in
|
||
`afterAll` even when an assertion fails. See
|
||
[ADR 0018](../architecture/decisions/0018-identity-session-resolution-and-database-transport.md).
|
||
|
||
A fifth dedicated suite (`core/tests/module-lifecycle-store.integration.ts`, included in the same
|
||
`pnpm test:migrations:integration` run) proves the module enablement store against real PostgreSQL:
|
||
that migration `0004` really creates `ekklesia_core_module_state` with exactly the four columns and
|
||
the one declared CHECK constraint the schema states — and, load-bearingly, that `enabled` has **no
|
||
column default**, so the platform's default for a newly discovered module is genuinely the absence of
|
||
a row rather than a materialized decision nobody made; that a decision survives a completely new
|
||
connection; that the upsert is idempotent on `module_id` and bumps `updated_at` in place rather than
|
||
inserting a second row; that a malformed identifier is rejected before it reaches PostgreSQL and the
|
||
empty-string case is refused by the database too; and that a record for a module which is no longer
|
||
deployed is retained and simply ignored by resolution, so redeploying restores the decision.
|
||
|
||
The API suite additionally drives the whole lifecycle end to end against a real database and real
|
||
fixture modules: a disabled module's compiled entrypoint is never imported (proven by its
|
||
`register`/`start`/`stop` markers staying empty), its routes return the platform's ordinary `404`,
|
||
its UI artifact and inventory and navigation entries are all absent, and its neighbours run normally;
|
||
a module blocked by a disabled required dependency is explained over HTTP with a structured reason
|
||
naming that dependency and no filesystem path anywhere in the payload; a change made through
|
||
`PUT /api/v1/module-lifecycle/<id>/enabled` reports `restartRequired: true` while the module
|
||
demonstrably keeps serving, and is applied only by the next start; and a disabled module's migrations
|
||
are still discovered, because deployed schema ownership is not runtime enabled state. See
|
||
[ADR 0028](../architecture/decisions/0028-module-operational-lifecycle.md).
|
||
|
||
A sixth dedicated suite (`core/tests/module-configuration-store.integration.ts`, included in the same
|
||
`pnpm test:migrations:integration` run) proves the module configuration store against real
|
||
PostgreSQL: that migration `0005` really creates `ekklesia_core_module_configuration` with the
|
||
composite `(module_id, key)` primary key, the declared CHECK constraints, and **no column that could
|
||
hold secret material**; that a replace is transactional, whole-document, and scoped to one module so
|
||
another module's rows are untouched; that stored values survive a completely new connection; that an
|
||
oversized value is refused by the application *and* by the database; that a store error never carries
|
||
the offending value; and — the security-relevant one — that a module id or key is only ever data in a
|
||
parameterized column, so an injection attempt is a validation error and the table still exists
|
||
afterwards.
|
||
|
||
The API suite additionally proves the configuration boundary end to end: a secret's value never
|
||
appears in any response (including when a row for that key is planted directly in storage), a
|
||
declared-but-undeclared key, a wrong JSON type, a constraint violation, and a `secret` key each fail
|
||
with a distinct sanitized code and store nothing, a reserved property name such as `__proto__` is
|
||
rejected without touching `Object.prototype`, and a module blocked by its own configuration is absent
|
||
from the mountable UI inventory exactly like a disabled one. See
|
||
[ADR 0029](../architecture/decisions/0029-module-configuration-and-secrets.md).
|
||
|
||
### Which kind of timing proof lives where
|
||
|
||
Pass 4 introduced several deadlines, and their tests deliberately differ in kind:
|
||
|
||
- **Unit deadline tests** (`core/tests/module-runtime.test.ts`) drive module stop and rollback
|
||
hooks through a short, test-only `hookTimeoutMs` override with manually controlled
|
||
never-settling promises — no real waiting, no sleeps, and an explicit `unhandledRejection` check
|
||
proving a hook that rejects after its deadline stays handled.
|
||
- **Real raw-HTTP force-close** (`apps/api/tests/api-http.integration.ts`) binds the real listener,
|
||
opens a real socket, writes a deliberately incomplete request, and proves shutdown force-closes
|
||
it at a short `drainTimeoutMsOverride` and still reaches pool closure.
|
||
- **Real TCP connection timeout** (`core/tests/postgres-migration.integration.ts`) binds a loopback
|
||
blackhole listener that accepts the socket and never completes PostgreSQL startup, proving the
|
||
configured connection deadline; the listener and every accepted socket close in `finally`.
|
||
- **Real PostgreSQL operation timeout and SQL batching** (same file) use a bounded server-side
|
||
delay only because the deadline itself is what is under test, and disposable databases to prove
|
||
that marker bytes inside literals, dollar-quoted bodies, comments, and quoted identifiers execute
|
||
intact, and that a failure rolls the whole batch back.
|
||
|
||
Every one of these uses a short **test-only override**; the production defaults (10 s per module
|
||
hook, 30 s HTTP drain, 10 s migration connection/query/statement) are asserted separately as
|
||
constants and are never waited out.
|
||
|
||
CI runs the same command in the dedicated `migration-smoke` job. After this change is merged, add
|
||
the following pull-request status context to `main` branch protection:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
CI / migration-smoke (pull_request)
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Safe troubleshooting
|
||
|
||
Confirm the prerequisites without printing configuration:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
docker info
|
||
docker compose version
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Then rerun `pnpm test:migrations:integration`. The harness emits fixed failure messages and does
|
||
not dump PostgreSQL logs, SQL, container inspection output, or the generated database URL. Do not
|
||
enable query logging, print the test environment, run `docker compose config` without redaction,
|
||
or paste Docker inspection output into an issue. If the Docker daemon itself stopped during
|
||
cleanup, restore it before rerunning so the harness can create a fresh uniquely named project.
