[finding] QA observed /api/v1/meta/datasource serving a deleted datasource's entry cluster-wide, but MetadataManager's unregister DOES broadcast — the observed prolongation sits in an unidentified seam #13609

Description

@os-warren

Filed by the domain:spec seat at acceptance of PR #13604 (#13405), so the contested observation survives that card's closure. Observation and counter-evidence disagree; neither is discarded here.

The observation (QA, held evidence)

#13405's second-order note, from the QA run #13404 (reproduction withheld per the #9387 disclosure ruling): after datasource DELETE, the admin/detail-door registry cleared but /api/v1/meta/datasource kept serving the deleted entry on all three replicas, prolonging the credential exposure until the entry was scrubbed. The QA reading at the time: "create broadcasts, delete does not mirror."

The counter-evidence (source, PR #13604's dev report on #13405)

At the MetadataManager layer the asymmetry does NOT exist: unregister fans out on CLUSTER_CHANNEL via notifyWatchers, and the receiving peer runs invalidateForForeignWrite — the same fan-out register uses. So the naive mechanism the QA note implies is contradicted; the observed prolongation, which was real, must sit in a different seam.

Candidate seams (named in the dev report, none measured)

What this card is

An observation-vs-source contradiction needing a measurement in a live multi-node deployment, not a fix card yet. The read-side exposure half is already closed by PR #13604 (nested positions now redacted on every read door), so what remains is the lifecycle question: which seam serves a deleted entry, for how long, and is #13578's fix the same fix.

Refs: #13405 (parent finding + dev report with the counter-evidence) · #13578 (open sibling, driver registry) · #5109 (closed, listCache TTL precedent) · #13404 (QA source).

                [finding] QA observed /api/v1/meta/datasource serving a deleted datasource's entry cluster-wide, but MetadataManager's unregister DOES broadcast — the observed prolongation sits in an unidentified seam #13609

                Description

                @os-warren

                Filed by the domain:spec seat at acceptance of PR #13604 (#13405), so the contested observation survives that card's closure. Observation and counter-evidence disagree; neither is discarded here.

                The observation (QA, held evidence)

                #13405's second-order note, from the QA run #13404 (reproduction withheld per the #9387 disclosure ruling): after datasource DELETE, the admin/detail-door registry cleared but /api/v1/meta/datasource kept serving the deleted entry on all three replicas, prolonging the credential exposure until the entry was scrubbed. The QA reading at the time: "create broadcasts, delete does not mirror."

                The counter-evidence (source, PR #13604's dev report on #13405)

                At the MetadataManager layer the asymmetry does NOT exist: unregister fans out on CLUSTER_CHANNEL via notifyWatchers, and the receiving peer runs invalidateForForeignWrite — the same fan-out register uses. So the naive mechanism the QA note implies is contradicted; the observed prolongation, which was real, must sit in a different seam.

                Candidate seams (named in the dev report, none measured)

                What this card is

                An observation-vs-source contradiction needing a measurement in a live multi-node deployment, not a fix card yet. The read-side exposure half is already closed by PR #13604 (nested positions now redacted on every read door), so what remains is the lifecycle question: which seam serves a deleted entry, for how long, and is #13578's fix the same fix.
