feat(operator): implement stopped multi-volume Restic recovery by Baylem · Pull Request #861 · GameplanePanel/Gameplane

Baylem · 2026-11-09T20:49:44Z

Backups currently capture only the primary data claim and cannot deliberately stop a running game for a drained capture. This implements opt-in stopped and multi-volume Restic recovery, with the design and recovery contracts in specs/033-stopped-multivolume-recovery/.

powerPolicy: stop-copy-restart acquires the shared lifecycle owner, stops gracefully, proves writer drainage, captures, and releases only the current allowed power intent. Durable ownership supports cancellation, controller restart and orphan recovery without overwriting newer suspend, idle, restart or wake requests.
volumePolicy: all-data captures primary data, declared data extras and separate loader/mod claims into distinct roots in one Restic snapshot. The manifest pins claim identities, logical roots, mount paths and template/version provenance. Rebuildable content is excluded and its saved prerequisites appear in the backup drawer; unknown layouts are rejected.

Restore preflights the saved layout before stopping the target, pins its claim mapping, and authorizes each prepared worker only after checking its mounted claim identities. Retries require fresh authorization. Writes and stale-file deletion are confined to the selected roots. Successful recovery preserves suspend/idle intent; failed or cancelled writes leave the target suspended.

Defaults remain preserve and primary-only. CSI remains primary-volume-only. Live multi-volume copies explicitly report weaker consistency than drained captures. Restic workers retain UID 65532 and the template fsGroup; the operational guide documents the filesystem access required for backup reads and in-place restore writes.

CRDs, deepcopy code, chart copies, API passthrough, translations, operator documentation and the saved Pencil design/exports are updated. Regression coverage includes interrupted stops, orphan recovery, retries/cancellation, changed claims, worker authorization, policy validation and legacy/CSI compatibility.

Closes #801.

Validation on 9dc4d672: the full main CI run, visual regression and portable-path checks passed. Four E2E jobs initially stopped before product installation because the MetalLB controller image could not be pulled; all passed in a failed-jobs-only retry. Operator/API unit, envtest and coverage checks, web checks, affected lint, generated-code drift and chart checks are green.

The complete Kind multi-volume recovery fixture passed on AMD64 (499.21s) and ARM64 (520.24s), including suspended/idle intent and both incompatible-target cases. All 3,023 web tests passed. Local production, controller/E2E regression-source and TypeScript compilation passed; runtime tests and lint ran only in CI under repository policy.

Review follow-up clears stale recovery-intervention status only after ownership and guards are released, distinguishes legacy and v2 restore power intent, rejects missing/non-string/empty recovery prerequisites in the E2E assertion, and explicitly documents primary-only volume exclusions in the drawer, locales and saved Pencil design/exports. Independent source review passed. The feature spec is specs/033-stopped-multivolume-recovery/.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Added opt-in Restic backups that can include multiple data volumes and optionally stop the game server during capture. CSI volume snapshots remain limited to the primary data volume.
- Backup details now show which volumes were included, their archive roots, and any recovery prerequisites for excluded volumes.
- Restores validate the target’s volume layout before making changes and preserve its existing power intent after a successful recovery.
Documentation
- Updated backup and recovery guidance to explain policy options, volume coverage, and restore requirements.

Walkthrough

The change adds opt-in stopped-source backups and all-data Restic capture, with versioned volume manifests and restore preflight. It adds lifecycle handling for stopping, draining, and cleanup; restore authorization for included volumes; and updates API schemas, tests, documentation, and the backup detail interface.

Changes

Stopped multi-volume recovery

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Policy and recovery data contracts `operator/api/v1alpha1/_types.go`, `operator/api/v1alpha1/zz_generated.deepcopy.go`, `operator/config/crd/`, `charts/gameplane/.../crds/*`, `web/src/types.ts`, `api/internal/handlers/recovery_policies_test.go`	Backup and schedule resources add power and volume policies. Capture manifests and restore status add versioned volume and recovery-plan metadata. CRD validation restricts non-default policies for `volume-snapshot`, and API types receive round-trip test coverage.
All-data capture and manifest validation `operator/internal/controller/recovery_manifest.go`, `operator/internal/controller/backup_{controller,manifest,preparation,worker}.go`, `operator/internal/controller/recovery_{policy_envtest_test,test}.go`, `operator/internal/controller/recovery_controller_test.go`	The operator derives and validates capture layouts, records manifests, and configures Restic workers to capture included claims at explicit roots. Tests cover layout checks, consistency metadata, policy validation, and worker mount selection.
Stopped-source backup lifecycle `operator/internal/controller/backup_{guard,preparation,stop}.go`, `operator/internal/controller/gameserver_controller.go`, `operator/internal/controller/lifecycle_operation.go`, `operator/internal/controller/backupschedule_controller.go`, `operator/internal/controller/recovery_controller_test.go`	The operator persists stop provenance and deadlines, drains selected-volume writers, stops the owned workload, and waits for cleanup before releasing lifecycle ownership. Reconciliation handles retries, orphaned owners, and schedule policy propagation.
Restore preflight and authorized writes `operator/internal/controller/restore_{controller,lifecycle,recovery}.go`, `operator/internal/controller/lifecycle_operation.go`, `operator/internal/controller/recovery_controller_test.go`, `operator/internal/controller/recovery_test.go`, `test/e2e/*`	Restore preflight pins target and volume metadata and checks compatibility before worker creation. Worker authorization is bound to the Restore, worker, manifest, and deadline; recovery restores write only planned included roots. Tests cover lifecycle behavior, power intent, failure cases, and multi-volume round trips.
Coverage display and recovery documentation `docs/`, `specs/032-stopped-multivolume-recovery/`, `operator/specs.md`, `i18n/locales//app.json`, `web/src/components/backups/BackupDetailDrawer`, `assets/design-export/json/bHJy6.json`	Documentation and messages describe policy defaults, consistency, included roots, and excluded-volume prerequisites. The backup detail drawer displays recorded roots and prerequisites and has a corresponding test.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review e56af

Stopped and multi-volume recovery looks sound at the reviewed head. Remaining issues are narrow. An E2E assertion can pass when a recovery prerequisite is missing, the backup drawer text can understate what primary-only backups leave out, and the operator spec has a stale restore description. A GameServer can also keep showing a recovery-intervention condition after cleanup finishes. None blocks merge, but the test and text fixes are cheap to make.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue [#801] requires opt-in stopped capture, multi-volume Restic recovery, safe preflight, and compatibility defaults. The changes add preserve/primary-only defaults and reject incompatible CSI policies. backup_stop.go, backup_guard.go, and lifecycle reconciliation persist ownership, drain writers, enforce deadlines, recover orphaned stops, and avoid applying newer power intent. recovery_manifest.go and restore_recovery.go pin claim identities and archive roots, reject incompatible layouts before writes, and authorize prepared workers against mounted claims. Restore handling preserves successful suspend/idle intent and keeps failed or cancelled targets suspended. The change summary reports unit, envtest, and Kind coverage for round-trips, rebuildable volumes, intent preservation, failures, retries, and incompatible targets. It also documents CSI as primary-volume-only, avoiding a cross-volume atomicity claim.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes are connected to [#801]. API types, CRDs, generated code, chart copies, and validation expose and constrain the new policies and manifests. Controller and recovery tests cover the new behavior. Documentation, translations, the backup drawer, and design export text explain coverage and recovery prerequisites. E2E helper changes support context-safe cleanup for the new recovery fixture. No unrelated change is evident in the supplied whole-PR summary.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 22.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 50 functions across 31 files. (35 skipped: 35 unsupported.)

- Line 817: Update the RestoreReconciler guidance to distinguish legacy restore
from v2 restore: keep the legacy suspend behavior, but specify that v2 preserves
the target’s existing suspend intent during guard acquisition and after success.
Align this guidance with the v2 restore contract so a suspended target remains
suspended.

- Around line 97-102: Update the `recoveryPrerequisite` check in the E2E test to
read the unstructured value as a string and fail when the field is missing, has
a non-string value, or is empty. Keep the existing `excluded` count and failure
message unchanged.

Review comments at @web/src/components/backups/BackupDetailDrawer.tsx:
- Line 92: Update the coverage message in BackupDetailDrawer to state that
primary-only backups exclude data extras and separate mod claims, so operators
can identify required recovery volumes. Preserve the existing coverage guidance,
and update the matching locale and design-export text to stay consistent with
the displayed message.
