tinyui M6 后续拍板 T5:回滚一律升版本,指针只往前。

  • PUT current.json(发布)与 POST pointer(晋级、改灰度)在移动指针前比较 createdAt:目标不比当前指向的版本新就 409,并说明"用旧内容发一个新版本"。同一版本重发、只改灰度不算移动
  • 这样回滚能落到所有设备,包括内置了坏版本的新装用户;设备侧不再需要"指针指回内置"的分支
  • README 双语同步

测试:17 条通过(原"回滚即指回旧版本"的用例改为验证两个入口都拒绝后退)。

Summary by Sourcery

Enforce forward-only channel pointers so rollbacks use a new version while preserving safe rollout updates and concurrent update handling.

Bug Fixes:

  • Prevent publishing and promotion operations from moving channel pointers to versions that are not newer than the currently pointed release, returning a conflict instead.
  • Ensure concurrent pointer updates cannot leave a channel pointing behind an accepted newer publish or promotion.

Enhancements:

  • Treat rollouts and re-publishing the currently selected version as non-moving updates while requiring rollbacks to be published as new versions with the old content.
  • Validate release timestamps as real, second-precision UTC instants for reliable version ordering.

Documentation:

  • Update the English and Chinese API documentation to describe forward-only pointers and the new rollback workflow.

Tests:

  • Update publishing tests to verify both pointer promotion and publishing reject backward moves, and add coverage for concurrent publishes and invalid timestamps.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Pointer updates move only to newer releases. Attempts to move to an older release return a 409 error; to roll back, publish the previous content as a new version.
    • Republishing the current release to another channel remains supported.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Conflicting simultaneous pointer updates are prevented; a request that loses the race returns a 409 error.
    • Packages with invalid or impossible creation timestamps are rejected with a 400 error.

回滚改为用旧内容发一个新版本,所有设备(含内置了坏版本的新装用户)都能收到。

Reviewer's Guide

The PR makes release-channel pointers monotonic by comparing target and current release creation timestamps in both publish and pointer endpoints, while preserving same-version and rollout-only updates. Rollbacks must now be published as new versions, with documentation and tests updated accordingly.

File-Level Changes

Change Details Files
Enforce monotonic channel pointers using release creation timestamps.
  • Reject pointer promotions and publishes that target a different version no newer than the current release with HTTP 409.
  • Allow same-version republishes and rollout-only updates without treating them as backward moves.
  • Centralize backward-movement detection and provide guidance to publish old content under a new version for rollback.
src/app.ts
Update behavior documentation to describe forward-only promotion and rollback semantics.
  • Remove rollback as a direct pointer operation from both endpoint tables.
  • Document that rollback requires publishing old content as a new version and that stale targets return 409.
README.md
README.zh-CN.md
Revise integration coverage for forward-only pointer behavior.
  • Replace successful rollback assertions with 409 checks for both pointer promotion and publish flows.
  • Verify same-version republish and rollout changes remain valid and channel state stays on the newer version.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pointer-update and publishing routes use revision-aware conditional writes and return 409 if the pointer changes before the write. The changes also validate that createdAt values represent real UTC timestamps and update pointer documentation and publishing tests.

Changes

Release publishing and pointer updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Add revision-aware storage
src/storage.ts
The Storage interface and its R2 and memory implementations provide revision-returning reads and conditional writes.
Validate release timestamps
src/manifest.ts, src/app.ts, test/publish.test.ts
Manifest parsing rejects timestamps that do not match the fixed UTC format or represent a real instant. The forward-move check compares parsed release timestamps. Tests cover fractional-second and impossible-calendar values.
Conditionally update release pointers
src/app.ts, test/publish.test.ts, README.md, README.zh-CN.md
Both pointer routes condition writes on the pointer revision and return 409 if the revision changed. Tests cover forward-only pointer behavior and concurrent publishing. The documentation describes the forward-only rule.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bcee9

If a channel points to a version with no release record, a request can move it to an older version. Handle that inconsistent state before relying on the forward-only guarantee.

摘要

本次改动在发布和 pointer 晋级前按 release 的 createdAt 检查目标是否比当前版本更新,并同步更新了中英文 README 和相关测试。主要风险在于该检查与写入指针不是原子操作,并发请求仍可让指针最终落到较旧版本,违反本 PR 的核心保证。

Hey - I've found 2 issues

Please address the comments from this code review:

## Individual Comments

### Comment 1
<location path="src/app.ts" line_range="170-173" />
<code_context>
         if (!release) return fail(c, 404, `version ${version} was never published under ${appId}/${pkg}/${hostVersion}`);
         const rollout = parseRollout(body?.["rollout"], current && current.version === version ? current.rollout : 100);
         if (rollout === null) return fail(c, 400, "rollout must be an integer from 0 to 100");
+        const backwards = await movesBack(storage, appId, pkg, hostVersion, current, version, release.createdAt);
+        if (backwards) return fail(c, 409, backwards);
         const pointer: PointerDoc = { version, rollout, signature: release.signature };
         await storage.putDoc(docKeys.pointer(appId, pkg, hostVersion, channel), pointer);
         return c.json(pointer);
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** The check and subsequent pointer write are not atomic. Two concurrent publish or promotion requests can both read the same current pointer, pass `movesBack`, and then write in reverse order, leaving the channel pointing at an older version.

**Triggers:** When two newer versions are published or promoted concurrently to the same channel and the request for the older of those versions writes last.

**Suggested fix:** Use a conditional/compare-and-swap pointer update, or serialize pointer updates per channel and re-read the pointer immediately before writing.
</issue_to_address>

### Comment 2
<location path="src/app.ts" line_range="318-319" />
<code_context>
+ */
+async function movesBack(storage: Storage, app: string, pkg: string, hostVersion: string, current: PointerDoc | null, version: string, createdAt: string): Promise<string | null> {
+    if (!current || current.version === version) return null;
+    const at = await storage.getDoc<ReleaseRecord>(docKeys.release(app, pkg, hostVersion, current.version));
+    if (!at || createdAt > at.createdAt) return null;
+    return `the channel is at ${current.version} (${at.createdAt}); ${version} (${createdAt}) is not newer. Pointers only move forward: publish the old content as a new version`;
+}
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** `movesBack` orders releases with a raw string comparison even though `parseManifest` accepts any non-empty `createdAt` string. Non-canonical timestamps such as differently padded dates or offset forms are ordered lexicographically rather than chronologically, so an actually older release can be accepted or an actually newer release can be rejected.

**Triggers:** When a signed manifest uses a valid but non-canonical or differently formatted timestamp.

**Suggested fix:** Validate `createdAt` as a canonical timestamp when parsing the manifest, then compare parsed epoch values rather than strings.
</issue_to_address>

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. 2 findings to address first, and this changes release-control policy by rejecting publication or promotion to any release with an older creation timestamp, so an incorrect decision can leave a bad production version active without the intended rollback path and contribute to an outage. Reverting restores the old behavior, but any pointer already advanced must still be corrected afterward.

Blocking findings: src/app.ts:173, src/app.ts:319

摘要

本次改动为指针写入引入了基于 revision 的条件写,避免并发发布中较旧请求覆盖较新指针,并通过 createdAt 限制指针后退。主要风险在于前进判断仍以字符串直接比较时间,而已有发布记录的时间格式并未随本次改动迁移或校验,可能绕过该限制。

摘要

本次增量将 createdAt 校验改为实际可解析且可往返验证的 UTC 秒级时间,并在指针前进判断中比较时间戳而非字符串。对于历史上格式无效的当前发布记录,代码会保守地拒绝移动指针,避免错误地将旧版本判为新版本。上轮关于字符串比较和非法日期会绕过前进限制的问题已修复。

本次增量收紧了 movesBack 在当前指针缺少对应 release 记录时的处理:不再默认允许移动,而是返回冲突,避免无法比较时间时将指针移动到可能更旧的版本。该修改与指针只能前进的约束一致,未发现由这段增量引入的可确认问题。
