#2837 datastore setup extension overwrites the shared config tier with the repo-local copy and drops managedConfig from .swamp.yaml

Opened by hammz · 9/30/2026· Shipped 9/30/2026

PR #2752: https://github.com/swamp-club/swamp/pull/2752

Summary

Split from swamp-club#2495 (part e). On a managedConfig repo with an extension-backed datastore (S3/GCS), swamp datastore setup extension can overwrite the team's shared config tier with the instance-local copy, and it turns managedConfig off in .swamp.yaml.

Found by reading the code during the #2483 v5 review. The code path is confirmed on main (fe52cda6), but it has not been reproduced end to end yet.

What happens

Migration copies the repo-local config tree into the cache. src/libswamp/datastores/setup.ts (~454-470) migrates <repo>/.swamp into the cache. config is in DEFAULT_DATASTORE_SUBDIRS, so this includes .swamp/config/upstream_extensions.json, the instance-local auto-resolve lockfile that #2483 keeps as a transitional read. copyDirectory in src/domain/datastore/datastore_migration_service.ts overwrites existing files with Deno.copyFile.
Setup pushes before it hydrates. pushChanged (~474-497) runs before the hydrate that follows it. On a fresh pod, the cache holds nothing from the remote yet. The push therefore uploads the instance-local files over the remote config tier, including config/upstream_extensions.json. The S3/GCS push is last-writer-wins per file.
The source directories are then deleted (cleanupSourceDirs, ~709-716).
.swamp.yaml loses managedConfig. updateRepoConfig (~718-728) replaces the whole datastore block. The extension branch (~567-581) writes only { type, config, hydrationStrategy?, namespace? }, so managedConfig: true is dropped, and the repo silently stops using the config tier. The filesystem branch (~238-244) replaces the block the same way.

Impact

The team's shared extension lockfile (and any other config-tier file at the same path) can be overwritten by one instance's local copy.
The repo stops reading config from the tier with no warning.

Expected

Setup never overwrites remote config-tier files with repo-local copies when the datastore already has a config tier. Either hydrate before migrating and skip or merge conflicting config-tier files, or leave config/upstream_extensions.json out of the migration and let the #2495 legacy-lockfile retirement (part d) merge it.
updateRepoConfig keeps datastore-block keys that setup does not own, managedConfig in particular. It merges instead of replacing.

Tests

updateRepoConfig keeps managedConfig on both the extension and filesystem branches.
Setup against a datastore whose config tier already holds upstream_extensions.json (a temp-dir fake remote) leaves the remote entries intact.
