Architecture-review PR 5: the DI/startup cleanup.

Problem

Three startup paths (PersistenceModule.DiscoverDaoMappings, MasterServerBootstrap's DAO registration, ParserBootstrap's) discovered each entity's primary key by constructing a fresh InMemory NosCoreContext per property per DTO type inside a Where lambda — hundreds of full EF model builds before the first request, against an InMemory model that lacks relational conventions, and the sole reason Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.InMemory shipped in the WorldServer, MasterServer, Parser and Database production assemblies.

Change

  • PersistenceModule.FindPrimaryKeyProperty(Type): one lazily built Npgsql model (model building never opens a connection — the placeholder connection string is never dialed) answers every PK lookup; it's the same model the runtime uses
  • Master and Parser bootstraps call the shared helper; their DTO filters are deliberately untouched
  • EFCore.InMemory removed from all four src csprojs — it remains in test projects, where it belongs

This is the first slice of the larger DI consolidation (single container, DiGenerator for Master/Login) — kept separate because it's independently verifiable and removes the test package from prod images immediately.

Verification

Build clean; Database.Tests, Parser.Tests, GameObject.Tests pass. Startup smoke of Master/Parser paths is covered by the parser's migration-and-import run whenever you next use it — the DAO registration path is identical in kind, only the PK source changed.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The persistence layer now builds one lazy Npgsql design-time model for primary-key discovery. MasterServer and Parser bootstrap code use shared DAO mappings. InMemory EF Core package references were removed from three project files.

Changes

Primary-key discovery and bootstrap integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared design-time model
src/NosCore.Database/Hosting/PersistenceModule.cs
PersistenceModule now reuses a lazy Npgsql design-time model and resolves primary-key properties through FindPrimaryKeyProperty.
Bootstrap registration flow
src/NosCore.MasterServer/MasterServerBootstrap.cs, src/NosCore.Parser/ParserBootstrap.cs, test/NosCore.Parser.Tests/ParserDaoContractTests.cs
MasterServer and Parser register database objects from DiscoverDaoMappings. Parser contract tests use the same mapping source.
Provider reference cleanup
src/NosCore.Database/NosCore.Database.csproj, src/NosCore.MasterServer/NosCore.MasterServer.csproj, src/NosCore.Parser/NosCore.Parser.csproj
The projects no longer reference the EF Core InMemory provider.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c7b5d

The PR centralizes primary-key discovery for startup DAO registration, but parser dependency injection could fail at startup if the provider-derived key type differs from parser declarations and the existing test does not detect it; the reflection-based key lookup concern also remains open. The change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or a follow-up test covering the emitted key types.

… InMemory contexts

Startup PK discovery in the persistence module, the master bootstrap and
the parser built a fresh InMemory NosCoreContext per property per DTO
type just to ask the model for the key - hundreds of model builds before
the first request, against a model missing relational conventions, and
the only reason EFCore.InMemory shipped inside every server. One lazily
built Npgsql model (model building never opens a connection) now answers
every lookup, and the InMemory package is test-only again.

Read the key member from EF metadata.

IKey.Properties preserves the configured key order. entityType.GetProperties() uses CLR reflection order and excludes non-public properties. This can produce a different PkType for a composite key or skip a mapping.

Use primaryKey.Properties.FirstOrDefault()?.PropertyInfo. If composite keys are supported, define their TPk representation instead of selecting one member.

Comment thread src/NosCore.MasterServer/MasterServerBootstrap.cs Outdated
Both bootstraps re-implemented the entity match and primary-key lookup that
PersistenceModule.DiscoverDaoMappings already does, then dereferenced the
result behind a null-forgiving operator. They now iterate the shared
discovery, which skips entities whose key it cannot resolve rather than
throwing during container initialization.

This also settles a filter that had drifted: MasterServer selected DTOs by
name, excluding anything containing "InstanceDto" unless it also contained
"Inventory". ScriptedInstance is a static entity, not an item instance, so
ScriptedInstanceDto was silently left unregistered there. The shared filter
excludes IItemInstanceDto by type, which covers the four item-instance DTOs
and keeps the other two.

ParserBootstrap.RegistrableDtoTypes existed only to work around the same
name-based filter and is gone; the contract test reads the mappings it
actually asserts about.

Applied — but by deleting the call sites rather than null-checking them.

Both bootstraps were re-implementing the entity match and PK lookup that PersistenceModule.DiscoverDaoMappings already performs, and that method already skips entities whose key it cannot resolve. They now iterate it directly, so the null-forgiving operators are gone rather than guarded.

That also fixed a filter drift the duplication was hiding: MasterServer selected DTOs by name, excluding anything containing "InstanceDto" unless it also contained "Inventory". ScriptedInstance : IStaticEntity is not an item instance, so ScriptedInstanceDto was silently unregistered there. The shared filter excludes IItemInstanceDto by type instead.

Assert the discovered PkType directly.

The bootstrap registers IDao<TDto, mapping.PkType>, but this test keeps only mapping.DtoType and checks the key against a separate InMemory model. A regression in DiscoverDaoMappings() can therefore pass the test while DI cannot resolve a parser's IDao<TDto, declaredKeyType>. Keep the mappings and compare the matching mapping's PkType with declaredKeyType.

Proposed test adjustment
-            var registrable = PersistenceModule.DiscoverDaoMappings()
-                .Select(mapping => mapping.DtoType)
-                .ToHashSet();
+            var mappings = PersistenceModule.DiscoverDaoMappings()
+                .ToDictionary(mapping => mapping.DtoType);

-                    if (!registrable.Contains(dtoType))
+                    if (!mappings.TryGetValue(dtoType, out var mapping))
                     {
                         mismatches.Add($"{parser.Name}: {dtoType.Name} is not registered by DiscoverDaoMappings");
                         continue;
                     }
+
+                    if (mapping.PkType != declaredKeyType)

+                            $"{parser.Name} declares IDao<{dtoType.Name}, {declaredKeyType.Name}> but DiscoverDaoMappings uses {mapping.PkType.Name}");
