fix(config): sync atomic config replacements - #1093
PierrunoYT wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
Persist temporary config contents before rename, then sync the parent directory on platforms that support it. Return persistence failures and cover ordering, cleanup, and pre/post-replacement failure states.

Reviewed at 0756af52. The change itself is right. The data is synced before the rename makes it visible and the directory after, and a failed directory sync is reported without rolling back a replacement that's already in place. Two things before it can go in.
Smoke (windows-latest) is red, and it's the new test, not the code. TestWriteConfigDataSync checks that the temp file was closed with tmp.Stat() and errors.Is(err, os.ErrClosed). On Windows, File.Stat doesn't check whether the file was closed. It calls GetFileType on the stale handle and returns "The handle is invalid", so all three legs fail there. It reproduces here. Seek and a second Close both return os.ErrClosed on Windows just as on Unix, and an open file answers Seek with no error. With the two checks changed to tmp.Seek(0, io.SeekCurrent), the test passes here.
A directory that can't be opened turns a saved config into a failed save. syncConfigDir returns the os.Open error after the rename has already replaced the file. The sessions store's syncDir, which #1087 pointed at, treats a directory it can't open as best effort and returns nil, and only reports a failed Sync. On a directory the user can write but not read, this reports an error for a config that was actually written. Matching that behaviour, and its test, keeps the two stores agreeing on what a failed save means.
Sync each directory entry created by MkdirAll into its parent so a crash cannot lose the config directory after a successful first write. Treat a config directory that cannot be opened as best-effort durable, matching the sessions store's syncDir; only a failed Sync or Close is reported, since the rename has already replaced the file. Check the temp file is closed with Seek instead of Stat: on Windows, File.Stat on a closed file returns "The handle is invalid" rather than os.ErrClosed.

File sync before rename, directory sync after, per-ancestor dir-entry sync, Windows directory-handle sync skipped with a stated rationale, failures reported while the visible rename is not rolled back, and seam-injected tests verifying call order and close-before-dir-sync. Note the textual conflict with #894's writer.go (which needs this durability) and #1001; merge order should let #1093 land first.

Re-reviewed at 8c05ee05. Both of my asks are done:
- The closed-file checks use
Seek, which returnsos.ErrClosedon Windows just as on Unix, andTestWriteConfigDataSyncpasses here now. - A config directory that can't be opened is best effort again, as in the sessions store, and only a failed
SyncorCloseis reported.
The new part, syncing each directory MkdirAll creates into its parent, is right too, and it's load-bearing: skipping it fails TestWriteConfigDataSyncsCreatedDirectories with the parents missing from the sync calls.
The one red check was the exec-server flake from #1097, which has nothing to do with this change. I re-ran it and it passed. internal/config passes natively on Windows apart from the TestResolveReportsExplicitMaxTurns failure that #1072 fixes. Approving.

What and why
Fixes #1087 (issue-approved).
Follow the approved narrow approach: sync the temporary config file before close/rename, then sync the parent directory after replacement. Return file-sync, directory-open/sync, and close failures rather than acknowledging success. Skip directory syncing on Windows, where rename durability remains best effort.
A file-sync failure leaves the previous config intact and cleans up the temporary file. A directory-sync failure is returned after the replacement is visible; no rollback is attempted.
Regression coverage
Fault-injection tests verify the written contents and old destination at file sync, closed temporary handle and new destination at directory sync, exact barrier ordering, propagated errors, and temporary-file cleanup. A directory helper test covers missing-directory errors and the Windows no-op contract.
With both sync call sites temporarily removed (restoring the original write/close/rename behavior),
go test ./internal/config -run "^TestWriteConfigDataSync$" -count=1fails:sync calls = [], want [file directory]error = <nil>, want injected sync failureRestoring the calls makes the tests pass. No crash/power-loss harness was run, as agreed in the issue; this adds the requested persistence barriers, not a filesystem-independent power-loss guarantee.
