DeleteDesires.

📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Documented the centralized cleanup workflow for HyperFleet resources with invalid references.
    • Clarified that cleanup removes associated desires and Kubernetes resources from management clusters.
    • Documented the automatic 12-hour schedule and precedence over ownership checks.
    • Clarified that completed cleanup requests are removed after orphaned resources are deleted.
    • Documented the cleanup process for orphaned resources and invalid references.

Walkthrough

The design document defines desire cleanup as a cleanup job. It records rejected applier-goroutine and per-management-cluster sweeper approaches. The selected design uses hyperfleet-sweeper in the hub cluster to validate resource references, create DeleteDesires, and remove cleanup desires after successful orphan deletion reporting. The sweeper runs every 12 hours.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 4f936

The proposed centralized cleanup flow still lacks clear rules for identifying orphaned resources and handling already-deleted resources, which could lead to incorrect deletions or cleanup records that remain indefinitely. Authorization boundaries and desire identity handling also need to be specified, so the PR is not merge-ready until these issues are clarified or explicitly accepted.

- Line 52: Correct the spelling errors in the hyperfleet-applier documentation:
replace “sweeb” with “sweep” and apply the requested spellings “management,”
“orphaned,” and “decommissioning” at the referenced occurrences.
- Around line 68-69: Update the desire-sweeper resource-reference validation so
it creates a DeleteDesire only when an authoritative lookup confirms the
resource_id is not found. Treat timeouts, 5xx responses, authorization failures,
stale reads, and incomplete pagination as unknown and fail closed without
scheduling deletion.
- Around line 68-69: Update the garbage-collection design around the sweeper’s
DeleteDesire producer to define its authorization identity, including whether it
acts as the original adapter or a privileged system identity, and ensure
ownership validation accepts that identity. Specify idempotent upsert or
deduplication behavior for the DeleteDesire identity tuple.
- Line 70: Update the garbage-collection cleanup flow to remove or tombstone the
orphaned ApplyDesire before completing cleanup, in addition to DeleteDesire and
ReadDesire. Correlate the applier’s successful deletion report using the full
desire identity, including type, and ensure ApplyDesire cannot recreate the
Kubernetes resource during cleanup.

A goroutine running in hyperfleet-applier every 12 hours doing a resource based correlation-check.
1. Finds desires with invalid resource reference
2. Creates a DeleteDesire for the resource
3. Cleans up DeleteDesires and ReadDesires after successful deletion of orphaned resources is reported by the applier

Should we also be deleting the ApplyDesire?

yes, the WIP store in hyperfleet-applier disposes the apply desire when a delete desire is created. same behavior should apply, but the owner check must not apply to the sweep job

Awesome if you can explicitly call that out in the doc, so the apply is removed by the applier on creation of the delete desire

68-69: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Fail closed on resource-reference validation.

Create a DeleteDesire only when an authoritative HyperFleet API response confirms that the referenced resource is absent or explicitly deleted. Treat timeouts, 5xx responses, authorization failures, stale reads, and incomplete pagination as unknown. Do not schedule deletion for unknown results. Define whether a resource with a deletion timestamp is eligible for cleanup. This is the unresolved CWE-754 data-integrity risk from the previous review.

In `@hyperfleet/docs/spike-desire-garbage-collection.md`:
- Around line 72-74: The sweeper exception must be limited to validated orphan
cleanup rather than bypassing owner authorization globally. Define an
authenticated sweeper identity and authorization boundary, validate that the
target desire is orphaned before allowing deletion, and make cleanup idempotent
with deduplication based on the full desire identity; update the ownership
contract around DeleteDesire and ApplyDesire accordingly.
- Around line 70-74: Update the sweeper lifecycle description to specify that
creating a sweeper DeleteDesire removes or tombstones the orphaned ApplyDesire
before remote deletion, regardless of the owner-field check. Require applier
deletion reports to correlate against the full desire identity, including type,
so retries or replays cannot recreate resources or remove the wrong cleanup
record.

require the resource’s owner relationship to be absent or invalid and its
deletion timestamp to indicate soft deletion, rather than relying only on an
