ekklesiaandClaude Opus 5 2983789779 fix: harden migration command execution
Two problems in the migration commands: no timeouts, and SQL split on literal
bytes.

`migrations:plan` and `migrations:apply` constructed their connection with
neither a connection deadline nor an operation deadline — a real server reported
`statement_timeout = 0` on the migration connection. Both now default to 10
seconds for the connection deadline, the client query timeout, and PostgreSQL's
own statement_timeout, applied at the one shared construction boundary so a
future call site cannot silently omit them. History reads, advisory-lock
queries, transaction control, migration SQL, and history writes are all covered.
The existing lock-wait deadline, the Pass 2 TLS policy, and Doctor's and the
bootstrap CLI's own timeouts are untouched, and no environment variable or flag
was added.

Explicit client fields do not win under the pinned driver. [email protected].0 builds
parameters as `Object.assign({}, config, parse(config.connectionString))`, so
the URL overrides passed options — verified directly, where an explicit
statement_timeout of 10000 alongside `?statement_timeout=0` produced a
server-reported 0, while a clean URL produced 10s. A DATABASE_URL carrying
connect_timeout, query_timeout, statement_timeout, or an `options` value setting
statement_timeout is therefore refused with the existing fixed configuration
error, before any client is constructed and without echoing the URL, parameter,
or value. Unrelated parameters are left alone.

The runner split each migration on the literal `--> statement-breakpoint` bytes.
Those bytes inside a string literal, a dollar-quoted function body, a quoted
identifier, or a comment tore the migration into fragments that were no longer
valid SQL — each case verified to produce two fragments where one was required.
Each migration's exact SQL is now passed to the client once, with no values and
no prepared-statement name, inside the existing transaction, and its history row
inserted only after that batch succeeds. One transaction still spans all pending
migrations; advisory locking, checksum validation, approval preflight, ordering,
rollback, cleanup, and sanitized error identity are unchanged. The port method
is renamed executeStatement to executeMigrationSql so the contract says what it
receives.

PostgreSQL parses the batch because it owns the only correct parser. A homegrown
splitter would have to track single quotes, dollar quoting with arbitrary tags,
quoted identifiers, line comments, nested block comments, and escape syntax to
answer a question the server already answers, and a parser dependency would add
supply-chain surface for the same reason. Drizzle's marker lines are ordinary
`--` comments when the batch is sent whole. No custom SQL parser exists here.

# 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).
### 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.
