Summary

  • separate the existing node+edge UUID-membership v3 facet from the node ordinal-identity v4 facet
  • derive ordinal authority only from the selected project's authenticated graph/files participant
  • use bounded, retained, no-follow control-file reads and stable writer-lock ownership
  • preserve the authenticated union of v3 and v4 artifacts during orphan maintenance
  • document the two generation-coupled authority facets

Root cause

The merged v4 reader reused the live v3 manifest path even though v3 serves both node and edge membership while v4 is node-only. It also lacked a durable independent provenance chain for cleanup.

Validation

  • cargo test -p graphforge-storage --lib — 861 passed, 2 ignored
  • strict graphforge-storage clippy — passed
  • formatting and diff checks — passed
  • non-Cypher public surface gate — 12/12
  • Cargo/Bazel drift check — passed
  • independent exact-head review — no remaining concrete blocker

Closes #974

Walkthrough

The change hardens graph storage across Windows CAS handling, canonical path resolution, manifest authentication, ordinal authority separation, durable recovery, and orphan retention. It also adds lifecycle and hostile-filesystem regression tests.

Changes

Storage integrity and lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Windows CAS lifecycle and security
crates/graphforge-filesystem/src/lib.rs
Windows CAS writers retain identities and exclusive handles. Sealing and legacy adoption validate identities, read-only state, and canonical DACLs.
Canonical graph paths and bounded reads
crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_files.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_manifest.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/project_generation.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_delta_journal.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/project_portable_v2_export.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/property_overlay.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/semantic_bindings.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_object_store.rs
Inventory paths use slash-separated canonical encoding and authenticated resolution. Manifest lookups follow bounded radix routes and reject invalid or ambiguous paths.
Sealed object installation
crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_object_store.rs
Object installation verifies length and digest, validates reuse, seals temporary objects, and adopts eligible Windows legacy objects.
Ordinal authority and orphan retention
crates/graphforge-storage/src/ordinal_identity_v4.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/uuid_membership.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/lib.rs
Ordinal v4 uses separate manifest, receipt, and lock files. Authenticated authorities remain pinned to the selected generation. Orphan collection retains authenticated v3 and v4 artifacts and does not self-authorize from standalone roots.
Durable recovery and lock ownership
crates/graphforge-storage/src/durable_rewrite.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_construction.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/runtime_entity_labels.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/writer.rs
Journal recovery validates canonical paths and receipts, acquires the ordinal writer lock before installation, and explicitly releases session locks. I/O tests run in isolated child processes.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 11348

This PR can currently fail to capture graphs using reserved route names, leave ordinal-identity work unrecoverable when its lock is absent, report incorrect preservation status, and perform unnecessary repeated hashing. These concrete correctness, availability, and performance risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description clearly states the scope, root cause, validation results, and linked issue. It does not follow the repository template and omits most required sections, checklists, testing details, and breaking-change documentation.

Resolution

Add the required template sections, including Type of Change, Changes Made, Testing and Test Coverage, Checklist, Performance Impact, Breaking Changes, and Reviewer Notes. Mark applicable checklist items and document migration or compatibility impact.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The reviewable code summaries address the issue requirements for distinct v3 and v4 authority paths, authenticated v4 opening, typed rebuild-required discovery, fail-closed validation, v3 preservation, and union-based orphan retention. Documentation of both authority facets cannot be verified because the relevant files, docs/book/architecture/storage.md and docs/book/architecture/uuid-membership-index.md, were excluded by the !/*.md and !/docs/** path filters.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The summarized changes support authority separation, authenticated control-file access, path validation, lock ownership, object integrity, orphan retention, and related regression tests. No clearly unrelated implementation or excluded non-goal such as executor integration or append/compaction is shown.

2323-2334: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid counting the Windows sealing read twice

On Windows, install_graph_object_bytes reports 14 hashed bytes for a 7-byte fresh payload: verify_stream contributes 7 bytes, and transition_temporary_to_sealed_reader calls verify_file, contributing another 7. The platform-independent test expects 7. Remove one authentication pass, or update the metric and test to include both reads.

383-418: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Redundant full-file hashing through resolve_v1_inventory_entry. resolve_v1_inventory_entry authenticates a candidate by reading and hashing the entire file. Both call sites invoke it more often than the result requires, so V1 graph trees are hashed several times per open.

  • crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_files.rs#L383-L418: resolve each entry once, carry the resolved path into the second loop, and reuse the digest that resolution already computed instead of hashing again at line 412.
  • crates/graphforge-storage/src/property_overlay.rs#L597-L609: classify the inventory entry first and resolve only entries that reach requested_route, so single-route opens stop hashing unrelated files that verify_graph_tree already authenticated.

Inline comments:
In `@crates/graphforge-storage/src/durable_rewrite.rs`:
- Around line 603-611: Update the v4 ordinal initialization flow around
recover_locked and commit so ordinal-v4.lock is durably created and preserved
before any v4 receipt can be published. Ensure open_child_file uses creation
semantics for this lock, while keeping it excluded from commit staging and
available for acquire_ordinal_writer_lock during recovery.

In `@crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_delta_journal.rs`:
- Around line 1344-1346: Update the preserved_base_parquet_digests computation
near count_preserved_base_files and count_base_files to canonicalize both
parent_entry.relative_path and child.relative_path using the same path
normalization as those helpers, while preserving the existing equality logic and
receipt behavior.

In `@crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_files.rs`:
- Around line 1014-1053: Update the graph-file route handling around
GraphWriter::set_properties, GraphWriter::set_edge_properties, and
capture_graph_files so reserved Windows names such as CON and AUX remain
capturable. Either permit these reserved components when validating existing
trees or encode/escape them before writing, while preserving path-safety checks
for other invalid components.

Verified review fixes

Applied the independently verified fixes in 8883e91e5834f1c2d41a0acc9bbba948a12081e5:

  • durably bootstrap and authenticate the stable v4 ordinal writer lock before any recoverable intent;
  • canonicalize both sides of preserved Parquet path comparisons;
  • authenticate each v1 file once through a bounded retained no-follow handle and exact named identity;
  • avoid authenticating unrelated v1 payloads for a targeted property route;
  • remove the redundant Windows pre-seal CAS payload pass while retaining exact-identity post-seal authentication.

The crate-root handle re-export report was invalid because the public handle is already nameable through graphforge_storage::ordinal_identity_v4. The separate semantic-route filename portability defect is tracked with its root solution in #976; relaxing portable path validation here would be unsafe and unrelated to #974.

Validation before push: full storage suite 880 passed / 2 ignored plus all integration targets, focused regressions, formatting, diff check, and strict storage clippy.
