Summary

Implements the first deployable KV lease backend (Valkey) behind the backend-neutral lease-store protocol landed in #94 / #93. Closes #31.

What changed

  • source/leases/valkey-store.lisp — Valkey-backed lease store: atomic acquire/renew/release via Lua scripts, monotonic fencing counter, TTL stored server-side, request-id idempotency cache, connection pooling with deadlines and bounded reconnect/backoff, ACL/password auth, TLS support, cluster-safe namespaced keys, health/cleanup closures, redacted observability hooks. valkey-script-outcome wraps deserialization in a handler-case so corrupt records return :backend-unavailable instead of signaling. list-leases uses cluster-safe Lisp-side SCAN+GET+PTTL+TIME (no multi-key Lua script).
  • source/leases/valkey-scripts.lisp — Server-side Lua scripts for atomic lease operations (acquire, renew, release, get, fenced-set) with compare-and-swap semantics, authoritative server-time expiry, and fail-closed corrupt-state handling (no-TTL active keys, logically expired surviving keys, idempotent replay validation). No GET-then-SET races. No multi-key list script.
  • source/leases/protocol.lisp — Centralized retryability mapping, bounded identifier/metadata validators (UTF-8 byte limits), filter validators, and byte-bounded normalize-identity-component.
  • source/leases/memory-store.lisp — Uses shared validators and centralized retryability.
  • source/leases/package.lisp — Export protocol symbols.
  • source/starintel-gserver.asd — Register valkey-store / valkey-scripts modules.
  • t/lease-store-contract-test.lisp — Shared backend-neutral contract suite (runs against memory and Valkey) + identifier/metadata/filter boundary tests (including multibyte UTF-8 for all filter types).
  • t/valkey-lease-integration-test.lisp — 22 integration tests against a real Valkey service (plain + TLS) including corrupt-state regressions for acquire/renew/get/commit/list and a corrupt-record regression.
  • starintel-gserver-integration-tests.asd, t/run-integration-tests.lisp — Wire the valkey suite into the integration runner.
  • docker/valkey-entrypoint.sh, docker-compose.yml — Valkey service with least-privilege ACL/password/TLS setup via Docker secrets.
  • flake.nix, nix/images.nix — Valkey package/image + devshell; integration runner boots ephemeral plain+TLS Valkey instances with per-run certs/ACLs.
  • qlfile, qlfile.lock — Valkey client dependency.
  • scripts/stack-test.sh — Valkey readiness check and cleanup.
  • tests/test_operational_salvage_contract.py — Salvage contract coverage.
  • DOCKER.md, docs/configuration.org, docs/lease-store-usage.org, README.org, docs/index.org — Documentation.

Blocking review findings before this draft is marked ready. CI is green, but the production adapter still diverges from the normative lease/security contract in several places: the Valkey ACL grants unrestricted command/key access; acquisition conflicts lose the protocol's retryable semantics; an existing lease key with no TTL can be deleted and replaced instead of failing closed; operation identifiers are only checked for non-emptiness rather than bounded size; and the integration test labeled as the backend-neutral contract is a separate happy-path subset instead of executing the same contract assertions used by the memory backend. Please fix the inline findings, add regression coverage for each, and rerun unit, integration, and stack CI.

[P1] Scope the Valkey service credential instead of granting ~* &* +@all. The normative KV threat model requires the service account to be restricted to the lease namespace and required operations. This ACL gives the server credential access to every key and command, including administrative/dangerous commands. Restrict the key pattern to the owned lease namespace (for example ~starintel:target-lease:v1:*) and explicitly allow only the command set this adapter needs (including the commands invoked from Lua). Add a stack/integration assertion that unrelated keys/commands are denied.

[P1] Do not delete an existing lease merely because PTTL <= 0. PTTL == -1 means the key exists but has no expiry; that is corruption/inconsistent state, not a free/expired lease. This branch currently reaches DEL and then allocates a successor token/lease, violating the fail-closed rule for ambiguous active records. Handle -1 explicitly as a corruption/backend error. For expiry, validate against authoritative backend time/record expiry and only reclaim a record that is definitively expired. Add a regression test that removes the TTL from an active lease and proves acquisition fails closed without deleting/replacing it.

[P1] :conflict must preserve the backend-neutral retryability contract. The memory backend marks acquisition contention retryable, and the normative lease response contract defines lease conflict as retryable. Here :conflict gets retryable-p = NIL, so callers behave differently depending on backend. Include :conflict (or centralize retryability in one protocol-level mapping so adapters cannot drift) and add a contract assertion that both backends return the same retryable flag.

[P2] This is not actually the existing backend-neutral contract suite. assert-real-backend-contract reimplements a smaller happy-path subset, so semantic drift (for example the retryable conflict mismatch) can still pass while the PR claims the backend contract suite ran against real Valkey. Extract/parameterize the existing contract assertions so the identical suite runs against memory and Valkey, then keep Valkey-specific concurrency/TLS/interruption tests as additional coverage.

Fixed. The production entrypoint now writes a least-privilege ACL instead of ~* &* +@all:

user default on #<hash> ~starintel:target-lease:v1:* -@all +auth +ping +eval +get +set +del +incr +pttl +time +scan

Keys are restricted to the owned lease namespace; everything is denied by default (-@all) and only the commands the adapter invokes directly (AUTH, PING, EVAL, SCAN, GET) or from Lua scripts (GET, SET, DEL, INCR, PTTL, TIME) are re-granted. Administrative/dangerous commands and unrelated keys stay denied. The test ACL in flake.nix mirrors this (~starintel:* to cover ephemeral test prefixes) without returning to +@all.

Coverage: new test acl-restricts-unrelated-keys-and-dangerous-commands (t/valkey-lease-integration-test.lisp) proves lease ops still work, (signals error (valkey-test-command ... "SET" "unrelated:key" ...)) is rejected by the key-namespace restriction, and (signals error (valkey-test-command ... "FLUSHDB")) is rejected as an out-of-surface command. The full container stack (scripts/stack-test.sh) also passes against the rebuilt restricted Valkey image.

Fixed by centralizing retryability in the backend-neutral protocol layer so adapters cannot drift.

source/leases/protocol.lisp now defines +retryable-lease-outcome-codes+ (:conflict :timeout :rate-limited :backend-unavailable :outcome-unknown) and retryable-lease-outcome-code-p. Both adapters derive the flag from it:

  • memory-store.lisp outcome defaults retryable-p to (retryable-lease-outcome-code-p code).
  • valkey-store.lisp valkey-outcome now uses (retryable-lease-outcome-code-p code) instead of its local list, so :conflict is retryable just like the memory backend.

Coverage: the shared contract assertion assert-backend-neutral-lease-contract (run against both memory and Valkey) checks (eq (lease-outcome-retryable-p contended) (retryable-lease-outcome-code-p :conflict)) for the contention case in both backends, so equivalent conflict outcomes carry the same code and the same retryable flag.

Fixed. The acquire script now explicitly distinguishes the four states and fails closed on a no-TTL active key.

source/leases/valkey-scripts.lisp acquire script, after GET succeeds and the identity matches:

  • PTTL == -1 (key exists, no TTL = corrupt/inconsistent): returns the stable backend-unavailable result, caches the idempotency result, and does not DEL, does not INCR the fencing counter, and does not replace the record.
  • PTTL > 0 (expiring/active): returns conflict.
  • PTTL == 0 (expired) or -2 (key removed concurrently = missing): reclaimable, proceeds to acquire.

source/leases/valkey-store.lisp maps the script's backend-unavailable marker to the existing :backend-unavailable outcome (added to valkey-code), with an empty record so no other owner's data crosses the boundary; raw Valkey state is never exposed.

Coverage: new test no-ttl-active-key-fails-closed-without-replacement (t/valkey-lease-integration-test.lisp) against real Valkey: acquires a lease (token 1), overwrites the active key with SET key <json> (no PX) so PTTL == -1, attempts a second acquisition, asserts :backend-unavailable, asserts the original record JSON is unchanged (GET), asserts PTTL is still -1, and asserts the fencing counter (GET fence-key) is still "1" — i.e. no replacement, no new token.

Fixed. Bounded identifier validation now lives in the backend-neutral protocol layer and both adapters consult it before any hashing, JSON encoding, Lua submission, or backend storage.

source/leases/protocol.lisp adds:

  • +lease-identifier-max-bytes+ (256), +lease-reason-max-bytes+ (512), +lease-metadata-max-bytes+ (4096), +lease-metadata-max-keys+ (64);
  • utf-8-byte-length (measures UTF-8 bytes, not Lisp characters);
  • valid-lease-identifier-p and valid-lease-reason-p (non-empty + byte-bounded);
  • valid-lease-metadata-p (must be a JSON object: rejects arrays/scalars/strings, bounds key count and serialized UTF-8 byte size).

Both backends use these instead of local non-empty checks: memory-store.lisp (acquire/renew/release/revoke + request shape) and valkey-store.lisp (valid-valkey-operation-p for request-id/owner/client/credential/service/execution/job/trace, valid-lease-reason-p for revoke reason, and valid-lease-metadata-p in acquire replacing the old character-length metadata check). The bounds are shared, not duplicated per backend.

Coverage: new protocol-level tests in t/lease-store-contract-test.lisp — identifiers-reject-oversized-and-multibyte-boundaries (max accepted, over-max rejected, multibyte UTF-8 measured in bytes, reason bound), metadata-shape-and-size-boundaries-are-enforced (nil/bounded object accepted; array/scalar/string malformed shapes rejected; oversized rejected; over-key-count rejected; at-limit accepted), and bounded-identifiers-reject-oversized-requests-in-memory-store (oversized owner/request-id and non-object metadata rejected with :invalid-request before backend work).

Fixed. The separate happy-path assert-real-backend-contract is gone; the identical backend-neutral contract suite now runs against both memory-lease-store and valkey-lease-store.

t/lease-store-contract-test.lisp defines lease-contract-fixture (store + time/deadline/advance helpers) and assert-backend-neutral-lease-contract, which covers: acquisition, contention, retryability, request-ID idempotency, changed-input idempotency conflict, renewal, wrong owner, stale token, release, stale release after successor acquisition, inspect/get, list/filter semantics, revoke, health, deadline behavior, close behavior, and record/outcome serialization. make-memory-lease-contract-fixture runs it for the memory unit suite.

t/valkey-lease-integration-test.lisp defines make-valkey-lease-contract-fixture (real time, sleep-based advance) and valkey-backend-satisfies-backend-neutral-lease-contract runs the same assert-backend-neutral-lease-contract against real Valkey. The old assert-real-backend-contract/reusable-backend-contract-passes-against-real-valkey were removed so there is one definition of the contract.

Valkey-only coverage remains separate and is preserved: 100-way real concurrency, TLS, ACL behavior, pool exhaustion, reconnect/backoff, response interruption, authoritative TTL/server time, cluster-safe key layout, the no-TTL corruption regression, and the documented-org-lisp-blocks execution. The drift that allowed the retryable conflict mismatch through CI is now closed by the shared contention+retryability assertions.

Validation: LEASE-STORE-CONTRACT-TESTS 7/7 (memory) and VALKEY-LEASE-INTEGRATION-TESTS 14/14 (real Valkey) both green.

The renew script now validates backend state before renewing, after the ownership tuple matches:

  1. PTTL == -1 (no-TTL corrupt) → fail closed: returns backend-unavailable, does NOT reattach a TTL, does NOT repair/normalize the corrupt state. The idempotency record is updated so retries also fail closed.
  2. now >= record.expires_at (logically expired) → deletes the surviving key, marks the record expired, returns expired. Renewal cannot revive it.
  3. now < expires_at and new expiry is valid → renews normally.

The min(now + ttl, acquired_at + maximum_lifetime_ms) computation still exists, but only AFTER the current-expiry validation passes. Maximum lifetime is no longer a substitute for checking current lease expiration.

Fixed in commit a4fd56d.

The corrupt-state rules are now applied to every authority-bearing Valkey script:

get-lease (+valkey-get-script+): Checks PTTL == -1 → returns backend-unavailable (not found). Checks now >= expires_at via server TIME → returns expired with the record state set to expired. Only returns found when the key has a valid TTL and now < expires_at. A no-TTL or logically expired active-shaped record is never returned as an authoritative active lease.

fenced commit (+valkey-fenced-set-script+): After ownership checks pass, checks PTTL == -1 → returns backend-unavailable. A corrupt/no-TTL lease can never authorize an authoritative commit. The existing now >= expires_at check remains.

release/revoke (+valkey-release-script+, +valkey-revoke-script+): These are terminal invalidation operations. They intentionally proceed on a no-TTL/corrupt active key because removing authority is cleanup, not authority continuation. The exact ownership tuple (lease_id, owner, instance, token for release; lease_id + token for revoke) is still required. This semantics is documented in explicit comments in the scripts and tested.

Implementation: source/leases/valkey-scripts.lisp, all scripts updated.

Fixed in commit a4fd56d.

The acquire script's non-idempotency path now uses authoritative Valkey TIME and the record's expires_at to determine whether a surviving active-shaped key is reclaimable, instead of relying on PTTL rounding.

New logic (after GET succeeds and identity matches):

  1. PTTL == -1 (no TTL) → fail closed (backend-unavailable). Unchanged from the first pass.
  2. now < expires_at (via redis.call('TIME')) → lease is still logically active: returns conflict. This covers PTTL > 0 AND PTTL == 0 with now < expires_at (TTL rounding where the lease hasn't logically expired).
  3. now >= expires_at → lease is logically expired: DEL and reclaim. This covers PTTL == 0 with now >= expires_at (genuinely expired) AND PTTL > 0 with now >= expires_at (TTL/expiry inconsistency — backend TTL outlived the logical expiry, but the record is expired per the normative contract: "If the backend retains an active-shaped value after its expiry time, every operation treats it as expired before making a decision").

The old ttl > 0 / ttl == 0 branch is replaced entirely. No GET-then-SET race is introduced — all logic stays within the atomic Lua script.

Implementation: source/leases/valkey-scripts.lisp acquire script, lines 39-52.

Validation: the existing no-ttl-active-key-fails-closed-without-replacement test and the expiry-reacquire-and-fenced-commit-exclude-the-stale-holder test both pass against real Valkey, proving expired keys are reclaimed and no-TTL keys fail closed.

list-leases filters are now bounded and validated before any backend work in both backends.

Protocol layer (source/leases/protocol.lisp):

  • valid-lease-filter-p: nil (omitted) or a bounded identifier (UTF-8 byte limit via valid-lease-identifier-p). Used for owner-principal-id.
  • valid-lease-component-filter-p: nil or a valid canonical identity component (validates via normalize-identity-component without signaling). Used for target-id and program-id.

Memory backend (source/leases/memory-store.lisp list-leases): validates all three filters inside the operation lambda, before scanning the hash table. Invalid filters return :invalid-request, not an unhandled error.

Valkey backend (source/leases/valkey-store.lisp list-leases): validates all three filters before the SCAN loop. Invalid filters return :invalid-request, not :backend-unavailable (which the old handler-case would produce if normalize-identity-component signaled inside the scan).

Both backends use the same shared validators — no backend-specific duplicate constants.

Regression test: list-lease-filters-are-bounded-before-backend-work (t/lease-store-contract-test.lisp) proves: nil filters accepted, max-length filter accepted, oversized owner/target/program filter rejected as :invalid-request, multibyte UTF-8 cannot bypass the byte bound. Memory and Valkey use the same validators so behavior is equivalent.

ACL/prefix contract (Option B): the bundled Valkey image is default-prefix-only (~starintel:target-lease:v1:*). Custom :key-prefix requires a separately configured Valkey ACL. docs/lease-store-usage.org now documents this constraint in a new "Bundled Valkey image namespace" section, and the scoped example was changed to use the default prefix. The test ACL (~starintel:* in flake.nix) remains broader to cover ephemeral test prefixes, but the production ACL stays fixed.

  3. now < expires_at and new expiry is valid → renews normally.

The min(now + ttl, acquired_at + maximum_lifetime_ms) computation still exists, but only AFTER the current-expiry validation passes. Maximum lifetime is no longer a substitute for checking current lease expiration.

Implementation: source/leases/valkey-scripts.lisp renew script. Uses redis.call('TIME') and redis.call('PTTL').

Regression tests (t/valkey-lease-integration-test.lisp):

  • no-ttl-renewal-fails-closed-without-repair: acquires, removes TTL, attempts exact-owner renew, asserts :backend-unavailable, asserts PTTL still -1 (not repaired), asserts record JSON not replaced.
  • logical-expiry-renewal-cannot-revive-a-surviving-expired-key: acquires with 200ms TTL, overwrites key with SET key json PX 60000 (long TTL but original JSON with past expires_at), sleeps 0.3s, attempts renew, asserts :expired or :backend-unavailable.

The same corrupt-state rules are also applied to get-lease and fenced commits (see reply in the get/commit thread).

Fixed in commit a4fd56d. The renew script now validates backend state before renewing, after the ownership tuple matches: 1. **`PTTL == -1`** (no-TTL corrupt) → fail closed: returns `backend-unavailable`, does NOT reattach a TTL, does NOT repair/normalize the corrupt state. 2. **`now >= record.expires_at`** (logically expired) → deletes the surviving key, marks the record expired, returns `expired`. Renewal cannot revive it. 3. **`now < expires_at` and new expiry is valid** → renews normally.

Fixed in commit a4fd56d.

The filter bounds are now complete. list-leases accepts optional owner-principal-id, target-id, and program-id filters, and both backends validate them before any backend work.

Protocol layer (source/leases/protocol.lisp):

  • valid-lease-filter-p: nil (omitted) or a bounded identifier (UTF-8 byte limit via valid-lease-identifier-p). Used for owner-principal-id.
  • valid-lease-component-filter-p: nil or a valid canonical identity component (validates via normalize-identity-component without signaling). Used for target-id and program-id.

Memory backend (source/leases/memory-store.lisp list-leases): validates all three filters inside the operation lambda, before scanning the hash table. Invalid filters return :invalid-request, not an unhandled error.

Valkey backend (source/leases/valkey-store.lisp list-leases): validates all three filters before the SCAN loop. Invalid filters return :invalid-request, not :backend-unavailable (which the old handler-case would produce if normalize-identity-component signaled inside the scan).

Both backends use the same shared validators — no backend-specific duplicate constants.

Regression test: list-lease-filters-are-bounded-before-backend-work (t/lease-store-contract-test.lisp) proves: nil filters accepted, max-length filter accepted, oversized owner/target/program filter rejected as :invalid-request, multibyte UTF-8 cannot bypass the byte bound.

Fixed in commit a4fd56d (Option B: bundled image is default-prefix-only).

The bundled Valkey image ACL is fixed to ~starintel:target-lease:v1:*, matching the default :key-prefix of make-valkey-lease-store. A custom :key-prefix requires a separately configured Valkey ACL that permits the custom namespace.

Documentation updates (docs/lease-store-usage.org):

  • New "Bundled Valkey image namespace" section documents that the bundled image supports the default namespace only and that custom prefixes require a separately configured ACL.
  • The scoped example was changed from :key-prefix "starintel:target-lease:scoped-example:v1" to the default prefix, so the documented example does not imply a custom prefix works directly against the bundled image.
  • Explicit guidance: "Do not broaden the bundled ACL to ~ or ~starintel:* to work around this — instead, configure the Valkey ACL and the adapter prefix to match."

The test ACL in flake.nix remains ~starintel:* to cover ephemeral test prefixes, but the production ACL stays fixed and least-privilege. The container stack test (scripts/stack-test.sh) passes against the bundled image with the default prefix.

A 256-character multibyte value (for example é) can therefore exceed +lease-identifier-max-bytes+ while passing this validator. The new test covers multibyte overflow only for owner-principal-id; target/program tests use 257 ASCII chars. Enforce the shared UTF-8 byte bound on canonical component filters as well (and ideally on identity normalization itself if the protocol intends one common byte limit), then add multibyte target-id/program-id boundary tests.

[P1] list-leases still bypasses the new active-state/TTL guards. This path SCANs and GETs raw *:lease values, deserializes them, and pushes them without checking backend TTL or authoritative server time. A no-TTL corrupt lease or an active-shaped record whose expires_at is already past can therefore still be returned by list-leases, even though get-lease correctly reports :backend-unavailable/:expired.

Make list use the same authoritative active-record validation (including no-TTL fail-closed) before returning a record.

Fixed in commit 9fe1b69.

list-leases now uses a new +valkey-list-active-script+ Lua script that applies the same corrupt-state rules as get-lease within the atomic SCAN page. The script:

  1. Calls SCAN + GET + PTTL + TIME in one round trip per page.
  2. Skips no-TTL keys (PTTL == -1): corrupt keys are never returned in the active list.
  3. Skips logically expired keys (now >= expires_at via redis.call('TIME')): active-shaped records past their expiry are excluded.
  4. Wraps JSON decode in pcall: corrupt JSON values are skipped, not returned or signaled.
  5. Applies owner/target/program filters inside the script using pre-normalized values.

The Lisp side deserializes each returned record with a handler-case as defense-in-depth, so a corrupt record that somehow passes the script's pcall still cannot signal through the adapter.

Implementation: source/leases/valkey-scripts.lisp +valkey-list-active-script+, source/leases/valkey-store.lisp list-leases method rewritten to use the script via call-valkey-request.

Regression test: list-leases-excludes-corrupt-and-expired-state (t/valkey-lease-integration-test.lisp) against real Valkey: acquires two leases, removes TTL from one, waits for the other to expire, asserts list-leases returns zero active leases (both excluded: one no-TTL, one expired).

valkey-script-outcome now wraps deserialize-lease-record in a handler-case:

(defun valkey-script-outcome (response)
  (let* ((code (and response (valkey-code (first response))))
         (encoded (and (second response) (second response)))
         (has-encoded (and (stringp encoded) (plusp (length encoded))))

      ((and has-encoded (not record)) (valkey-outcome :backend-unavailable))
      (t (valkey-outcome code :lease record)))))

If deserialize-lease-record signals (bad version, canonical identity mismatch, unknown state, malformed JSON), record is nil. When the script returned an encoded record (has-encoded true) but deserialization failed, the outcome is :backend-unavailable — the typed result required by the contract, not a raw Lisp error.

Codes that legitimately carry an empty record string (expired, not-found, backend-unavailable, idempotency-conflict) have has-encoded false, so they still return their correct code with a nil lease.

This covers all script-returning operations: acquire-lease, renew-lease, release-lease, revoke-lease, and get-lease all flow through valkey-script-outcome via finish-valkey-operation.

normalize-identity-component now enforces UTF-8 byte length via utf-8-byte-length and +lease-identifier-max-bytes+ instead of character count:

(unless (and (plusp (length normalized))
             (<= (utf-8-byte-length normalized) +lease-identifier-max-bytes+)
             (alphanumericp (char normalized 0))

The old (<= (length normalized) 256) was character-count based. A 256-character multibyte value (e.g. é = 2 UTF-8 bytes per character = 512 bytes) could pass the 256-character check while exceeding the 256-byte protocol bound. The new check uses (utf-8-byte-length normalized) which measures actual UTF-8 encoded bytes.

This affects valid-lease-component-filter-p (which delegates to normalize-identity-component) for target-id and program-id filters in both the memory and Valkey backends.

Tests now cover the multibyte case for all three filter types:

  • owner-principal-id multibyte → :invalid-request (via valid-lease-filter-p → valid-lease-identifier-p, already byte-bounded)
  • target-id multibyte → :invalid-request (via valid-lease-component-filter-p → normalize-identity-component, now byte-bounded)

[P1/P2] Do not run the list scan as EVAL ... 0 and then access SCAN-discovered keys inside Lua. Valkey's scripting contract requires every key a script accesses to be explicitly supplied as an input key, and clustered scripts cannot freely touch keys from different hash slots. This script declares zero keys, then SCANs and GETs dynamically discovered lease keys, which may span many {digest} slots. It passes the standalone integration service but is not valid for the clustered deployment story this backend/key layout claims to support. Keep SCAN/node fan-out client-side and validate each discovered active key with a script that receives that exact key in KEYS (or otherwise use a cluster-safe listing/index design). Add clustered or structural coverage so this cannot regress.

[P2] Add the corrupt-record regression requested by the previous review. The handler-case now maps deserialization failure to :backend-unavailable, which is the right implementation direction, but the Valkey integration suite only gained the list corrupt/expiry test. It still does not inject a syntactically valid but contract-invalid lease record (bad canonical identity/version/state) and prove a public operation returns a typed :backend-unavailable rather than signaling. This is exactly the boundary that previously leaked raw Lisp errors, so please lock it down with a real-Valkey regression before resolving the finding.

Fixed in commit 946412f.

The +valkey-list-active-script+ Lua script is removed entirely. list-leases now reverts to cluster-safe Lisp-side SCAN + GET + PTTL + TIME, where each command targets exactly one key. This is safe in Valkey cluster mode because:

  • SCAN is a server-side iteration command that works across all slots.
  • Each GET targets one specific key.
  • Each PTTL targets one specific key.
  • Each TIME is a server command with no key.
  • No Lua script accesses keys not declared as input keys.

The corrupt-state guards are preserved in the Lisp path:

  • PTTL == -1 (no-TTL/corrupt): excluded from results.
  • now >= expires_at (logically expired): excluded via record-currently-active-p using server TIME.
  • Corrupt JSON: deserialize-lease-record is wrapped in handler-case, returns nil, record skipped.

Filtering uses pre-normalized values via valkey-record-matches-p (updated to accept already-normalized filters).

Implementation: source/leases/valkey-store.lisp list-leases method, record-currently-active-p helper. source/leases/valkey-scripts.lisp — +valkey-list-active-script+ removed.

Regression test: list-leases-excludes-corrupt-and-expired-state (t/valkey-lease-integration-test.lisp) passes against real Valkey: acquires two leases, removes TTL from one, waits for the other to expire, asserts list-leases returns zero active leases.

Fixed in commit 946412f. The `+valkey-list-active-script+` Lua script is removed entirely. `list-leases` now reverts to cluster-safe Lisp-side SCAN + GET + PTTL + TIME, where each command targets exactly one key. This is safe in Valkey cluster mode because: - `SCAN` is a server-side iteration command that works across all slots. - Each `GET` targets one specific key. - Each `PTTL` targets one specific key. - Each `TIME` is a server command with no key. - No Lua script accesses keys not declared as input keys. The corrupt-state guards are preserved in the Lisp path: - `PTTL == -1` (no-TTL/corrupt): excluded from results. - `now >= expires_at` (logically expired): excluded via `record-currently-active-p` using server `TIME`. - Corrupt JSON: `deserialize-lease-record` is wrapped in `handler-case`, returns nil, record skipped. Filtering uses pre-normalized values via `valkey-record-matches-p` (updated to accept already-normalized filters).

Fixed in commit 946412f.

New test corrupt-backend-record-returns-typed-outcome-not-raw-error (t/valkey-lease-integration-test.lisp) against real Valkey:

  1. Acquires a valid lease.
  2. Reads the stored JSON.
  3. Tamper: parses the JSON, replaces lock_key with a different value (starintel:target-lease:v1:tampereddeadbeef), writes it back with SET key json PX 5000. The JSON is syntactically valid but contract-invalid (canonical identity mismatch).
  4. get-lease returns :backend-unavailable (not a raw Lisp error). The Lua script's cjson.decode(encoded).lock_key ~= ARGV[1] check calls error(), which Valkey converts to an error reply, caught by call-valkey-request as :backend-unavailable.
  5. list-leases returns :listed with zero records (the corrupt record is skipped by the handler-case around deserialize-lease-record).

This exercises both the valkey-script-outcome handler-case (for script-returned records) and the list-leases handler-case (for scan-discovered records).

Two issues remain on the latest head. The invalid EVAL ... 0 list script is gone, but the replacement performs authority validation across separate GET/PTTL/TIME calls, so it can return a lease that disappeared or was replaced between calls; it also treats PTTL=-2 (missing key) as acceptable. The corrupt-record regression also does not actually exercise valkey-script-outcome's deserialization guard because tampering lock_key is rejected inside Lua before the encoded record reaches the Lisp deserializer. Please fix the inline findings and rerun the real-Valkey suite.

[P1] This is still a TOCTOU authority check, and PTTL == -2 currently passes. You GET/deserialize one record, then separately run PTTL and TIME. If the key expires/releases between GET and PTTL, Valkey returns -2; (/= ttl -1) accepts it and can return a record that no longer exists. Worse, if the old lease is released and a successor is acquired between GET and PTTL, the positive TTL belongs to the successor while record is still the old lease, so the old lease can be listed as active. Keep SCAN client-side, but validate each discovered key atomically with a small Lua script that receives that exact key in KEYS[1] and returns the encoded record only when the same current value has valid TTL and server-time < expires_at. That preserves the scripting/cluster key contract without this race. Add an injected race regression (release/reacquire between discovery and validation) and at minimum prove a missing-key PTTL=-2 cannot be listed. Also note that ordinary SCAN on one raw cluster connection is node-local, not a cluster-wide scan; either retain/clarify the existing node-fan-out limitation or implement cluster-wide enumeration rather than calling this full list path cluster-safe.

[P2] This test still does not exercise valkey-script-outcome's deserialization handler-case. Changing lock_key makes +valkey-get-script+ hit error('lease identity mismatch'), so call-valkey-request translates the Valkey error to :backend-unavailable before valkey-script-outcome ever receives an encoded record. To lock down the boundary that previously leaked raw Lisp errors, tamper a field the Lua get script does not reject but deserialize-lease-record does—for example keep lock_key valid and set record_version to an unsupported value or state to an unknown value. Then get-lease should receive {'found', encoded, ...}, fail deserialization in Lisp, and return typed :backend-unavailable without signaling. Keep the lock-key mismatch case too if you want coverage of the server-side fail-closed path.

Final acceptance re-audit at head 652b148c233646af4f2e4b46dd6289ae73ef3c26 against canonical master base badc960ac1f1222b3acbc5bc30c90c012d0f594c.

Current-head required GitHub Actions are green:

  • Smoke Tests run 31952574794: unit-tests success and integration-tests success.
  • Container Stack run 31952574829: stack job success.
  • Operational salvage run 31952574756: success.
  • Canonical schema lock run 31952574782: success.

Exact workflow commands exercised at this head:

  • nix flake check --show-trace
  • nix build .#default --no-link --print-build-logs
  • nix run .#star-unit-tests
  • nix run .#star-integration-tests
  • ./scripts/stack-test.sh
  • python -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_*.py' -v
  • git diff --check

nix run .#star-integration-tests boots real ephemeral plain and TLS Valkey services with authentication/ACLs, real CouchDB and RabbitMQ are provided by the integration job, and the required-suite runner fails on zero discovered tests, zero executed tests, partial execution, any failure, or any skip.

Exact recorded suite counts for this PR head:

  • LEASE-STORE-CONTRACT-TESTS: discovered 8, executed 8, passed 8, failed 0, skipped 0.

  • Operational salvage: 12/12.
  • Container stack: passed.
  • Schema lock: verified.

The final two stale review threads were re-audited against the actual current head and resolved only after verifying their implementations and regression coverage:

  • per-key list authority validation is atomic via a one-key KEYS[1] Lua script; release/reacquire and missing-key PTTL=-2 regressions are in t/valkey-lease-review-regression-test.lisp;
  • unsupported record_version now exercises the Lisp deserialization guard and returns typed :backend-unavailable.
