The open-source half of Phase 7 (the §21 clean break): contracts the replay literals out of the public type surface and fixes the SQLite allowlist rebuild so a removal actually takes effect.

Stacked on #474 (Phase 6). Review only the commits above that base.

The defect this fixes, which is the interesting part

Both SQLite allowlist rebuilds trigger on a positive substring predicate:

if all(check in table_sql for check in required_checks) and (
    "'offline_tuner_open_world'" in table_sql
):
    return

That is correct for adding a literal and silently wrong for removing one. Drop a literal from the target tuple and an existing database — whose table_sql still contains every remaining required string — satisfies all(...) and returns early. The rebuild never runs and the old permissive CHECK survives forever.

A migration that reports success while changing nothing. The removal direction needs a negative predicate: rebuild if any retired literal is still present.

Proven by contrast rather than asserted:

_base.py triggers result
negative predicate (shipped) 4 passed
reverted to positive-only 2 failed — assert 'offline_tuner_replay' not in 'CREATE TABL…'

Remediation, because the rebuild is a table copy

A row carrying a retired value fails the copy, so the copy remediates: offline_tuner_replayoffline_tuner_legacy (accurate — those jobs were offline-tuner jobs, and that literal stays admissible), retired stage/terminal_outcome values nulled (both columns nullable), and replay_manifest artifact rows deleted (the column is NOT NULL and part of a UNIQUE key, so there is nothing to relabel it to).

This is local-development SQLite, not tenant Postgres. No production row is touched. Verified end to end: a legacy database carrying a replay job and a replay_manifest artifact migrates rather than failing, the job returns relabelled with stage/terminal_outcome NULL, the candidate artifact survives, and the rebuild is idempotent.

Type surface

optimizer_kind, stage, terminal_outcome and artifact_kind unions lose their replay members. Four kinds survive.

Backward compatibility, stated precisely: this is a read break, not a write break. An older image reads a retired-literal row fine — its own Literal still admits it. The new image raises ValidationError at model construction. Tenant Postgres still stores such rows until the enterprise contract migration lands, so during that bake a new task reading an old replay row raises. That is the clean break by design; the enterprise side removed the path that would act on such a row.

Scope

The OSS package remains importable and self-consistent standing alone — full non-e2e tier: 6,379 passed, 13 skipped, 0 failed, run from the package's own venv.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Breaking Changes

    • Retired replay-specific optimizer types, job stages, terminal outcomes, and artifacts are no longer supported.
    • Publication claims and legacy publication requests now support GEPA only; open-world optimization remains supported for decision proofs.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Database constraint validation now rebuilds incomplete schemas to preserve support for all valid optimizer values and stages.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for outcome reachability, publication validation, migrations, storage compatibility, and rejected replay transitions.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change removes replay-specific optimizer vocabulary and runtime paths, constrains publication to GEPA, rejects applied transitions, and migrates SQLite schemas and rows away from retired literals. Tests cover terminal outcomes, publication, transitions, artifact deletion, lease cleanup, and migration handling.

SQLite rebuilds detect retired or missing retained literals, remove retired values from constraints, relabel replay jobs, clear retired fields and leases, and delete replay-manifest artifacts.
Contract, runtime, and migration regression coverage
tests/models/*, tests/server/services/storage/test_playbook_optimization_replay_contract_integration.py
Tests verify terminal-outcome classification, open-world transitions, publication restrictions, schema contraction, row remediation, logging, and migration idempotence.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fe85c

The PR is mergeable with owner awareness: the SQLite allowlist migration still duplicates retired stage and outcome literals, so a future one-sided update could cause database migration to fail when opening an existing local database.

Phase 7 Task 7. Remove the replay literals from the four public Literal
unions, from the publication optimizer sets, and from both SQLite optimizer
allowlists.

The SQLite rebuild triggers were written for the expand direction only: both
returned early once every REQUIRED literal was present, so removing a literal
from the target tuple would have left an existing database's permissive CHECK
in place forever (OQ-3). Each trigger now also asks whether any RETIRED
literal is still present, and the table copy remediates the rows the new CHECK
would reject: replay jobs are relabelled 'offline_tuner_legacy', their retired
stage and terminal_outcome become NULL, and replay_manifest artifact rows are
deleted (the column is NOT NULL and part of a UNIQUE key).

'offline_tuner_legacy' and 'optimizer_legacy_unknown' are retained
permanently as historical labels (OQ-1 option A).
…ckage

P4-2. The SQLite Phase 7 relabel turned a RUNNING 'offline_tuner_replay' job
into a RUNNING 'offline_tuner_legacy' job -- a kind with no producer or
consumer, holding uq_poj_active_target / uq_poj_active_discovery /
uq_poj_active_attempt until the NEXT storage open let the pre-existing legacy
sweep see it. The sweep in _classify_legacy_playbook_optimization_jobs runs
BEFORE the relabel, so it could not. Retire the active rows in the rebuild
itself, with the same status, decision_reason and lease clearing that sweep
uses, so one open is enough.

Observed before:
  REOPEN OK   -> [(1, 'offline_tuner_legacy', 'running', '', 'worker-a'),
                  (2, 'offline_tuner_legacy', 'pending', '', None), ...]
  SECOND OPEN -> both 'skipped', 'retired_by_replay_redesign'
Observed after: both 'skipped' on the FIRST open, lease cleared.

P4-3. The rebuild DELETEs every 'replay_manifest' artifact row, destroying its
content_json, with no log line. Deletion stays -- artifact_kind is NOT NULL and
part of UNIQUE (job_id, artifact_kind), and the tenant contract
(20260830020000) drops the literal too, so retaining it on SQLite alone would
leave the two backends disagreeing about the artifact vocabulary. But the
inconsistency with the sibling optimizer_kind strategy, which RETAINS its
retired labels precisely so historical rows survive, is now named in a comment,
and the deletion emits a warning with its row count.

P5-1. publication.py said the tenant RPC's 'offline_tuner_replay' ->
'offline_optimizer' CASE arm "goes in Task 10", which reads as pending. Task 10
landed on this branch: commit_user_playbook_publication now writes the staged
optimizer kind straight through. Fixed the tense.

P3-2 (recorded, not changed). Phase 7 contracted OptimizationTerminalOutcome by
NAME, removing the four members spelled replay_*. Seven more were reachable only
through the same replay arm and are equally dead -- verified independently: zero
non-declaration references across 923 source files in both packages, and zero
tenant-SQL writers. They are RETAINED rather than removed, because removing them
is a second CHECK narrowing (a second one-way door) and would abort the
validating migration on the first organization holding a historical row. Named in
RETAINED_UNREACHABLE_TERMINAL_OUTCOMES with the reasoning, and pinned by
tests/models/test_terminal_outcome_reachability.py, which also requires every
member of the union to be classified as reachable-with-a-named-writer or
retained. 'deployment_unsupported' is called out explicitly: the same spelling is
also OfflineTunerUnavailableReason, a capability rejection code on a different
type with ~40 live references, so grep is not evidence of reachability here.

Assert that the second open skips the rebuild.

The docstring states the second run must return early. The current assertions do not prove that. A second rebuild produces the same table_sql and preserves the same job_id, so both assertions pass whether or not the table was copied again.

Compare the table's rootpage across the two opens. A rebuild replaces the table, so the value changes.

Capture _table_rootpage for both optimizer tables on the first open and assert equality on the second open.

Derive the remediation lists from _RETIRED_OPTIMIZER_JOB_LITERALS.

The stage and terminal-outcome literals here repeat the members of _RETIRED_OPTIMIZER_JOB_LITERALS in a second place. The two lists must stay in sync. If a future literal is added to the constant only, the negative predicate at Line 2231 fires the rebuild, but this SELECT copies the retired value into the narrowed CHECK. The copy then raises IntegrityError, the migration rolls back, and SQLiteStorage.__init__ fails for every open of that database.

Split the constant into per-column tuples and build both the rebuilt CHECK and these CASE expressions from them.

-_RETIRED_OPTIMIZER_JOB_LITERALS: tuple[str, ...] = (
-    "'offline_tuner_replay'",
-    "'replay_running'",
-    "'replay_evaluated'",
-    "'replay_unsupported'",
-    "'incomplete_replay_scope'",

Then render the two CASE predicates from _RETIRED_OPTIMIZER_STAGES and _RETIRED_TERMINAL_OUTCOMES instead of hardcoding them.

Comment thread reflexio/server/services/storage/sqlite_storage/_base.py Outdated
Addresses the CodeRabbit review on #475.

The rebuild predicate's negative half catches a RETIRED literal that is
still present. Its positive half could not catch the other direction: an
ADMISSIBLE literal that is ABSENT. required_checks named only
'offline_tuner_open_world' among the four surviving optimizer kinds, so a
schema whose CHECK omitted 'gepa' carried no retired literal, satisfied
the list, and was retained forever with a constraint that rejects
legitimate gepa rows.

The artifact rebuild directly below already enumerates its full set of
eight kinds; this makes the optimizer rebuild follow the same rule rather
than remaining the outlier.

Proven by contrast on a schema that is current except for the missing
kind:

    pre-fix predicate  -> 2 failed, 8 passed
    fixed predicate    -> 10 passed

Review disposition — the finding holds, fixed in fe85c8bf

It is the same class this PR exists to fix, in the direction the original fix did not cover.

The negative half of the predicate catches a retired literal that is still present. Nothing caught the other direction: an admissible literal that is absent. required_checks named only 'offline_tuner_open_world' among the four surviving optimizer kinds, so a schema whose optimizer_kind CHECK omitted 'gepa' carried no retired literal, satisfied the list, and was retained forever with a constraint that rejects legitimate gepa rows.

'gepa' is admissible — OptimizerKind (entities.py:417-422) and both DDL sites (_base.py:2257, :3502) all list four kinds. Three of the four went unchecked.

The artifact rebuild immediately below already enumerates its full set of eight kinds, so the optimizer rebuild was the outlier rather than the pattern. It now follows the same rule.

Proven by contrast, on a fixture that is current in every respect except the missing kind and carries no retired literal, so only the absence can trigger the rebuild:

pre-fix predicate  -> 2 failed, 8 passed
fixed predicate    -> 10 passed

Restored from a saved copy and verified by checksum (0843a746…dd3b57f before and after), never git checkout --.

Wider check: 770 passed across the OSS storage and model suites. ruff check clean; ruff format applied to the changed file.
