From d28b81aa76224878aaa4459c54e9f11814d6c581 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ilia Sadykov Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2026 20:19:26 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] feat(plugin): cache-aware pre-engine load for Outputs/Cancel entry points MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Follow-up to #563's `f306d4c2` (OutputsStack + CancelStack call `loadPreEnginePlugins`): the correctness fix was the right ship, but it shifted every `sc stack outputs` / `sc cancel` invocation from ~200ms to ~1.5-3s on a forge-infra-sized stack (6 declared plugins spawned + Schema RPC'd on every invocation). ## What - New `preEnginePluginBundle.LoadForBackend(ctx, specs)` — cache-aware variant. For each declared plugin: - Consult the per-version schema cache at `~/.sc/plugins///.schema-cache.json` (already written by `pkg/stackread/stackread.go`'s `loadSchema` on every full provision/deploy). - If the cached schema advertises NEITHER `state_store_types` NOR `secrets_provider_types`, skip the plugin — its sidecars don't contribute to backend open, so `sc stack outputs` / `sc cancel` don't need a live client. - If the cached schema does advertise one, spawn the plugin so its sidecar has a live client (same shape as full `Load`). - Cache miss → fall back to `loadOne` (full spawn). Preserves correctness: a stack with no cached schema (fresh install, `path:` spec, corrupt cache) still gets every plugin loaded, same as today's broken-slow shape. Peer's reflection gate test in `preengine_entrypoints_test.go` (f306d4c2) uses a `path:` spec, so it still exercises the cache-miss → full-spawn fallback — passes unchanged. - Added `schemaContributesToBackend(schema)` — reports whether a plugin's schema includes any type SC core's backend-open path consults (state_store_types + secrets_provider_types). - `provisioner.go`: new `loadPreEnginePluginsForBackend` wrapper mirrors `loadPreEnginePlugins`'s shape (secrets-provider resolve + bundle tracking) but routes through `LoadForBackend`. - `preview.go` + `cancel.go`: wire the two read-only / teardown entry points to `loadPreEnginePluginsForBackend`. Everything else (the six write-path entries — ProvisionStack, DeployStack, PreviewStack, PreviewChildStack, DestroyParentStack, DestroyChildStack) stays on full `Load` for correctness. ## Tests - `TestLoadForBackend_CacheSkipsPluginWithoutBackendTypes` — seeds the cache with a schema advertising only `resource_types`, verifies the bundle stays empty (no spawn, no sidecar registered). The plugin binary does not exist at the resolved path, so a spawn attempt would fail with the loud "plugin failed to exit gracefully" shape; the silent pass proves the cache-hit short-circuit fired. - `TestLoadForBackend_CacheMissFallsBackToFullSpawn` — `path:` spec (bypasses the cache entirely), binary does not exist, verifies the fallback hits `loadOne` and fails the spawn. Correctness guard: the fallback path is exercised, not stubbed. - `TestBackendEntryPointsLoadPreEnginePlugins` (peer's reflection gate on OutputsStack/CancelStack + the other six) still passes unchanged — the fallback invariant holds for the path: specs the test uses. ## Correctness A stale cache WRONGLY saying "no state-store types" would skip a plugin that does provide one, reproducing exactly the empty-URL bug `f306d4c2` fixed. The cache is version-keyed (`//.schema-cache.json`), so a plugin version bump invalidates it automatically — bounds the window to the plugin version's own lifetime. A plugin author who adds a state-store type mid-version without bumping SHOULD ship a new version; if they don't, `sc stack outputs` fails loudly with "unsupported state-store type %q" from login.go (same shape as today's full load fails on an unknown type — not silently). This bound is documented inline on the method. ## Follow-up (not in this PR) - The cache path handles `github-release` specs cleanly (version-keyed). `path:` specs always miss and take the full spawn fallback, which matches dev-mode semantics (`path:` is "I'll change the binary any time, don't cache my schema"). No change needed there. - A follow-up could warm the cache during `sc stack outputs` by writing the just-loaded schemas back to disk after a cache miss — currently only `pkg/stackread/stackread.go` writes the cache, so the first `outputs`-only session pays the full spawn for every invocation until a provision/deploy warms it. Defer; most operators run `outputs` after a deploy, so the cache is already warm. ## Roadmap - forge/docs/roadmap/items/sc-plugin-stack-outputs-latency-full-schema-load.md Signed-off-by: Ilya Sadykov --- pkg/clouds/pulumi/cancel.go | 7 +- pkg/clouds/pulumi/plugin_preengine.go | 79 +++++++++++++++++++ .../pulumi/preengine_entrypoints_test.go | 67 ++++++++++++++++ pkg/clouds/pulumi/preview.go | 15 ++-- pkg/clouds/pulumi/provisioner.go | 26 +++++- 5 files changed, 182 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/pkg/clouds/pulumi/cancel.go b/pkg/clouds/pulumi/cancel.go index 11a7f5ee..f2c5ab1a 100644 --- a/pkg/clouds/pulumi/cancel.go +++ b/pkg/clouds/pulumi/cancel.go @@ -7,7 +7,6 @@ import ( "context" "github.com/pkg/errors" - "github.com/pulumi/pulumi/sdk/v3/go/auto" "github.com/simple-container-com/api/pkg/api" @@ -22,7 +21,11 @@ func (p *pulumi) CancelStack(ctx context.Context, cfg *api.ConfigFile, stack api // what an operator reaches for when a deploy is already wedged, so it // failing with `diy URL has an illegal prefix` lands at the worst // possible moment. - if err := p.loadPreEnginePlugins(ctx, stack); err != nil { + // Cache-aware: only plugins whose cached schema advertises state-store or + // secrets-provider types contribute to backend open.
