A stale snapshot from an earlier plan cycle can still revert an approval.
explicit_transition decides from the shape of the incoming metadata, not from what the writer meant to do. Here is a realistic sequence:
- A plan is submitted with
plan_asset_id: "a1"and rejected. - It is resubmitted with
"a2"and approved. - A writer that read the metadata during cycle 1 writes it back with
plan_status: "pending"(or"rejected") andplan_asset_id: "a1".
In step 3, "a1" != "a2" matches the resubmit arm. A stale "rejected" matches the reject arm. Either way, the stored approval reverts and the gate closes again. This is the same stale read-modify-write problem that live #281 showed, now in the multi-cycle case.
The real transition writers are known: item_submit_plan and set_plan_status. Give them an explicit channel instead of inferring intent from content. Two options:
- Add a dedicated backend function or
UpdateItemflag for plan transitions. With that in place,preserve_plan_approvalcan always preserve the stored transition fields for ordinary metadata writes. - Use a compare-and-set on a monotonic
plan_revisioncounter stored in the metadata.
