Summary

Profiles created by alpha.5 could fail startup repeatedly during storage upgrade: restored V2 keys were replaced by fallback material, interrupted staging could leave incompatible candidates, retired pairing nonce tables were rejected, and Windows file flushing used handles without write access.

Preserve existing space keys, restart unpromoted stale or partially separated candidates, accept the retired ticket_nonce table, and use writable non-truncating handles for file durability. Check SQLite checkpoint completion and retain privacy-safe local failure diagnostics. Include regression coverage for interrupted upgrades and native Windows file behavior.

Validation

  • Native Windows: 45 checks passed across file durability, upgrade recovery, control storage, five subprocess interruption boundaries, the synthetic alpha.5 runtime baseline, and an original-user database-copy separation check.
  • macOS: focused unit/integration and interruption tests, workspace checks, formatting and architecture/privacy validation passed during implementation.
  • Latest logs from the original user's Windows environment report profile_storage_upgrade success in 147,199 ms; the daemon subsequently starts and maintenance scans 2,003 history entries without errors or deletions.
  • Full userdata was also launched in an isolated profile on the supplied Windows test machine, including its interactive desktop session. That copy cannot unlock protected profile metadata without the original system-stored key; it is not counted as a successful full-profile upgrade test.

Scope

  • No net CI workflow changes and no private userdata or secrets are included.
  • Existing upgrade outcome telemetry remains unchanged; new diagnostics expose only fixed stage/action classifications and OS error kind/code.
  • Desktop still stops waiting after 45 seconds and does not reconnect when a long upgrade finishes. The upgrade progress screen and Desktop startup recovery are separate follow-up work, not part of this Engine PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Reliability

    • Improved file durability handling during profile and space-control storage operations.
    • Database checkpoints now detect incomplete operations and report busy states instead of silently continuing.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Staged profile upgrades now discard stale conversion output and recover more safely after interruptions or source changes.
    • Existing security material is preserved when appropriate.
    • Upgrade recovery maintains data across crashes and subsequent runs.
  • Diagnostics

    • Added structured local failure diagnostics with upgrade stage and system error classifications, without exposing sensitive paths or error text.
  • Documentation

    • Updated architecture and observability documentation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds safe existing-file synchronization, improves profile storage upgrade restart and recovery behavior, adds structured local failure diagnostics, handles retired ticket_nonce ownership, validates WAL checkpoint results, and adds integration tests for legacy, crash, and changed-source scenarios.

Changes

Profile storage upgrade reliability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Durability and checkpoint handling
crates/uc-infra/src/fs/*, crates/uc-infra/src/security/profile_storage_upgrade/*, crates/uc-infra/src/security/space_control_generation/persistence.rs
The new sync_existing_file helper syncs existing files without creating or truncating them. Upgrade and database persistence paths use it. WAL checkpoint results now return Busy when readers prevent completion.
Staged target recovery and restart
crates/uc-infra/src/security/profile_storage_upgrade/{journal.rs,mod.rs,target.rs}, crates/uc-infra/tests/profile_storage_upgrade*.rs, docs/architecture/architecture-bible.md
Upgrade resumption checks source revisions and staged snapshots, removes stale candidates, preserves required generations, and returns Pending with a persisted restart plan when staged work is invalid. Tests cover changed sources, legacy material, ownership, and crash recovery.
Upgrade failure diagnostics
crates/uc-infra/src/security/profile_storage_upgrade/{diagnostics.rs,mod.rs}, docs/design-docs/observability.md
Upgrade phases and actions now produce local structured failure events with error kinds and optional I/O classifications. Events omit source text and paths. Tests validate the emitted fields.

Legacy profiles containing read-only derived files can fail to upgrade, so this should be fixed before merge.

Keep copied read-only files synchronizable.

std::fs::copy preserves source permissions. A read-only legacy file can make sync_existing_file(&target) fail with PermissionDenied, which aborts the profile upgrade.

Copy into a writable target, synchronize it before applying source permissions, then restore the intended permissions. Add a Unix regression test for a read-only source file.
