Separate manifest expansion events from transformation (#344)

[leynos]

Summary

Closes #344

Manifest expansion is telemetry-free: it returns a bounded filtering report,
normal manifest loading owns redacted tracing and aggregate metrics, and
manifest-query loading remains side-effect-free.

Changes

• src/manifest/expand.rs: ExpansionReport preserves exact per-section
  counts while retaining at most 64 privacy-bounded FilteredEntry records;
  omitted_filtered_entries records truncation without allocating or hashing
  records beyond the cap.
• src/manifest/loading.rs: trace_expansion_report emits retained-entry and
  summary debug events, plus unlabeled counters for filtered targets, filtered
  actions, and omitted retained entries. Normal loaders opt in through a
  private observer seam; query loaders supply no observer.
• Documentation defines the internal report boundary and user-facing normal-load
  diagnostics, including the three aggregate counters.

Testing

• Assert exact, independently calculated FilteredEntry metadata for static
  and foreach exclusions in both targets and actions.
• Cover fully filtered foreach truncation, aggregate-count accuracy, exact
  bounded public manifest::from_str telemetry counters, and telemetry-free
  manifest queries.

Validation

• cargo fmt --check, strict all-feature Clippy, all-target nextest,
  doctests, make check-fmt, make markdownlint, make nixie,
  make typecheck, make doc-coverage, make test, and make lint — pass
  (2,734 tests; 3 skipped; 32 doctests passed).

Summary by Sourcery

Separate manifest expansion reporting from observability so normal loading provides bounded diagnostics while manifest queries remain side-effect-free.

New Features:

• Add bounded, privacy-safe manifest filtering reports with per-entry metadata and exact aggregate counts.
• Expose normal-load diagnostics through bounded debug events and fixed-cardinality filtering metrics while keeping manifest queries telemetry-free.

Enhancements:

• Separate pure manifest expansion from tracing and metrics through an optional loading-layer observer.
• Ensure filtering telemetry avoids raw manifest content and truncates retained records without affecting aggregate counts.

Documentation:

• Document the expansion report boundary, privacy guarantees, normal-load diagnostics, aggregate counters, and telemetry-free query behavior.

Tests:

• Add coverage for exact static and foreach filtering metadata, retention limits, aggregate counts, bounded loader telemetry, metric cardinality, and telemetry-free queries.

Full details: Testing (Overall)

Explanation

The pull request introduces substantive, non-vacuous tests that genuinely exercise the changed behaviour. Evidence: Test Coverage The PR adds six key test areas covering the new separation of manifest expansion from telemetry: 1. Expansion boundary isolation (tracing_capture.rs): Verifies that expand_foreach emits NO telemetry directly; the test captures events before and after calling expand_foreach, asserting the pre-call snapshot is empty. It then explicitly calls trace_expansion_report and verifies telemetry appears only after that call. This test would fail immediately if expand_foreach emitted any direct tracing. 2. Exact filtering metadata (expand_tests.rs): Tests that ExpansionReport contains exact FilteredEntry records with precise section, entry name hash, iteration index, and expression length values. Creates a known manifest with static and foreach exclusions, then asserts the returned entries match hand-calculated expected values. This would fail if metadata recording was incomplete or incorrect. 3. Retention limit enforcement (expand_tests.rs): Creates 65 filtered entries (one beyond the 64-entry retention limit), then verifies: (a) filtered_entries.len() == 64, (b) omitted_filtered_entries == 1, (c) aggregate counts remain exact (filtered_targets == 65). This test would fail if the retention limit was not enforced or if the omitted count was not tracked. 4. Property-based aggregate accuracy (property_cases.rs): Uses generated inputs to verify report.stats equals independently calculated expected counts for both targets and actions sections. Checks that filtered_entries.len() + omitted_filtered_entries equals total expected count. This would fail if aggregate counting was incorrect or if the retention-plus-omitted invariant was violated. 5. Public API telemetry (expansion_telemetry.rs): Tests the public manifest::from_str function, verifying it (a) calls both expand_foreach and trace_expansion_report, (b) emits exactly 64 retained debug events for 65 filtered items, (c) includes summary event with exact aggregate counts, (d) redacts raw entry names and expressions. Checks both structured tracing events and metric counters (three unlabelled counters for filtered targets, actions, and omitted entries). This would fail if trace_expansion_report was not called, metrics were not emitted, or redaction was incomplete. 6. Manifest query isolation (workspace.rs): Verifies that from_path_for_manifest_query emits NO expansion telemetry events and NO expansion metric counters. This would fail if the query path called trace_expansion_report or if expansion telemetry appeared during query loading. 7. Metric recorder filtering (observability_recorder_tests.rs): Tests that the metrics recorder retains only the three unlabelled manifest-filtering counters while rejecting labelled variants. This would fail if the recorder allowed labelled counters through. Non-vacuous Test Characteristics - Tests call real implementations: expand_foreach, trace_expansion_report, from_str, from_path_for_manifest_query — not mocks or test doubles. - Tests create real manifest YAML and execute template expansion. - Assertions check specific field values: exact counts (2, 65, 0), exact bounded metadata (hash, section, expression length), bounded list length (64), omitted count (1), presence/absence of specific tracing events and metrics. - Tests would fail for the most plausible incorrect implementations: returning empty FilteredEntry list, wrong aggregate counts, unenforced retention limit, missing omitted tracking, expand_foreach emitting telemetry, trace_expansion_report not being called, manifest queries emitting telemetry, labelled counters passing through the recorder. Manifest Mutation Verification Tests confirm the underlying manifest is actually mutated (targets/actions removed after filtering), not just reported… [truncated to fit comment limits]

Full details: User-Facing Documentation

Explanation

The pull request properly documents user-facing changes in the users' guide. Evidence gathered: 1. New functionality documented: A new "Diagnose manifest expansion" section was added to docs/users-guide.md (lines 606–629) documenting the expanded diagnostic capabilities for manifest-time filtering. 2. Appropriate for end-user audience: The documentation uses actionable CLI-level language suited to Netsuke build-tool end-users: - Clear instruction: "Pass --verbose to a normal manifest-loading command" - Expected output: "debug event with the exact number of filtered targets and actions" - Behaviour specification: "at most 64 per-entry events" - Privacy assurance: "never contain raw manifest values" - Query distinction: "Manifest query loading... remains side-effect-free" 3. Strategic placement: The section is positioned immediately after "Generate targets with foreach and when" within the "Use Jinja safely" subsection of "Author a manifest". This placement relates the new diagnostics to the manifest features they observe, making it discoverable for users working with conditional expansion. 4. Backward-compatible feature, not breaking change: The diagnostic output is: - Accessible only via the optional --verbose flag - Side-effect-free for manifest queries - Fully compatible with existing manifest authors' workflows Since this is a v0.1.0-beta2 pre-release with backward-compatible new functionality, no migration guide update is required under the pre-1.0.0 convention. The v0-1-1-migration-guide.md addresses a separate feature (phony targets). 5. No multi-language synchronisation required: Only an English-language main users' guide exists. The other users-guide documents (whitaker-users-guide.md, ortho-config-users-guide.md, rstest-bdd-users-guide.md) are for distinct tools in the Netsuke ecosystem and are not affected by Netsuke manifest-expansion changes. All stated requirements are satisfied.

Full details: Developer Documentation

Explanation

The pull request satisfies all developer documentation requirements. New and changed internal APIs are documented in the developer's guide, architectural boundaries are clearly defined, and design documents reflect the changes. Documentation Coverage: 1. Internal API Documentation (docs/developers-guide.md): - expand_foreach documented with new signature returning ExpansionReport - ExpansionReport structure documented with bounded FilteredEntry retention (64-entry limit) - FilteredEntry fields documented (section, entry_name_hash, iteration_index, when_expression_len) - trace_expansion_report function documented in the behaviour section 2. Architectural Boundaries (docs/developers-guide.md): - Expansion is clearly documented as "a pure transformation: it emits no tracing" - Observer boundary documented: "The loading orchestrator calls it after expansion" - Manifest-query isolation documented: "Manifest-query loading supplies no report observer and explicitly suppresses both expansion tracing and these metrics, so it remains telemetry-free" - Clear directive to "Keep this observer boundary in the loading orchestrator rather than adding side effects to expand_foreach" 3. Design Document Updates (docs/netsuke-design.md): - ExpansionReport structure documented with 64-entry retention limit - Loading orchestrator ownership documented: "The loading orchestrator owns the trace_expansion_report adapter" - Manifest-query side-effect-free guarantee documented: "Manifest-query loading bypasses this adapter, emitting neither expansion tracing nor these metrics" 4. User-Facing Documentation (docs/users-guide.md): - New section "Diagnose manifest expansion" documents user-visible metrics and events - Metric names documented: netsuke_manifest_filtered_targets_total, netsuke_manifest_filtered_actions_total, netsuke_manifest_omitted_filtered_entries_total - Privacy-preserving event fields documented 5. Architectural Decision Recording: - Issue #344 requirements (separate expansion events from transformation logic) are fully addressed through the documented observer pattern - Decision appropriately integrated into architecture documentation rather than requiring a new ADR - The design coherently builds on existing architecture boundaries without introducing new tooling requirements No executable, build, or tooling requirements are introduced by this change.

Full details: Module-Level Documentation

Explanation

Accept the pull request. Every changed Rust module has a module-level //! docstring, including the new loading and expansion_telemetry modules. The docs state each module’s purpose: expansion handles concrete manifest targets and actions, loading handles orchestrator notifications outside pure transforms, and recorder modules handle bounded observability. The relevant item docs also explain the report and caller relationship.

Full details: Testing (Unit And Behavioural)

Explanation

Accept the testing coverage. Unit tests cover static and foreach filtering for both targets and actions, exact FilteredEntry metadata, retention at 64 entries, omitted counts, empty expansions, conditional behaviour, deterministic results, and malformed or whitespace-only expressions. Property tests verify count, index, section, hash, expression length, and retained-plus-omitted invariants. Behavioural tests exercise public manifest::from_str telemetry, redaction, aggregate counters, and the manifest-query loader's absence of tracing and metrics. The recorder test also rejects labelled metric variants. Tests are registered in the suite, and the pull-request diff passes git diff --check.

Full details: Testing (Property / Proof)

Explanation

The PR introduces an invariant across a range of inputs (the retained_entries + omitted_filtered_entries = total_filtered_count relationship for any number of filtered entries), and the custom check specifies that property tests "should be recommended" for such changes. The PR includes property tests that verify this invariant. Evidence of property tests: - filtering_report_matches_removed_entries (proptest) verifies that report.filtered_entries.len() + report.omitted_filtered_entries == expected_count across generated inputs with keep/skip filtering patterns (0..10 items). - Additional property tests in property_cases.rs verify determinism, index sequencing, and other invariants. - Property tests in foreach_property_cases.rs verify expansion across generated sequence values. - Unit test expand_foreach_bounds_retained_filtered_entries specifically verifies truncation at the 64-entry retention limit and omitted-entry counting. The property test coverage validates the invariant's core behaviour. Although the property test range (0..10 items) does not extend into the truncation scenario (64+ items), the separate unit test provides explicit verification of boundary behaviour. The custom check requirement—that property tests "should be recommended"—is satisfied by their presence and proper implementation.

Full details: Testing (Compile-Time / Ui)

Explanation

The PR does not require compile-time/trybuild tests as it does not involve compile-time behaviour. The text-based structured output (tracing debug events) is tested with focused, inline field assertions rather than snapshot files. This approach encodes meaningful behavioural expectations without brittleness: tests validate specific field names, values, redaction semantics, and aggregate accuracy through substring matching and structural assertions on captured event strings. The tests avoid generic snapshots and brittle formatting dependencies while ensuring that redaction, bounded retention, counter cardinality, and filtering semantics are verified. No snapshot files are created or would be staled by formatting changes.

Full details: Unit Architecture

Explanation

Preserve the separation. expand_foreach now mutates only its supplied manifest value and returns a fallible ExpansionReport; it contains no tracing or metrics calls. Keep observability in loading::trace_expansion_report, which is called only for full normal loads. The manifest-query path supplies None for the observer and uses the restricted stdlib, with tests checking that it emits neither expansion events nor counters. The environment, network policy, stage callback, and report observer remain explicit boundary inputs, and the changed code adds no hidden network, clock, file-write, or process-execution dependency.

Full details: Domain Architecture

Explanation

This PR successfully separates manifest expansion from transformation telemetry, applying proper domain architecture principles. The expansion function (expand_foreach) is now purely domain logic: it performs manifest value transformation and returns structured data (ExpansionReport) without emitting any telemetry side effects. Direct tracing (debug! calls) and metric emission were removed from expand.rs. Telemetry and tracing responsibilities are now owned by the loading orchestrator (loading.rs), which exists at the infrastructure-domain boundary. The trace_expansion_report function receives already-bounded and redacted data (name hashes, expression lengths) from the report and translates it into observability events and metrics. This follows the adapter pattern correctly: infrastructure-aware logic converts domain results to external representations without contaminating domain concepts. Call sites demonstrate clean separation through an optional observer pattern (ExpansionReportObserver). Normal manifest loading supplies the observer; manifest-query loading supplies None, preserving its side-effect-free guarantee. Tests verify this enforcement: expansion_telemetry.rs confirms normal loading emits bounded redacted tracing and aggregate counters; workspace.rs confirms manifest queries emit no expansion telemetry. The observability recorder properly restricts metric cardinality to three unlabeled counters (FILTERED_TARGETS_TOTAL, FILTERED_ACTIONS_TOTAL, OMITTED_FILTERED_ENTRIES_TOTAL), preventing label explosion. Domain logic now remains independent of infrastructure, explicit about its boundaries, and testable without telemetry infrastructure. The changes improve the codebase alignment with the stated domain architecture requirement.

Full details: Observability

Explanation

The pull request provides comprehensive observability for manifest expansion filtering, meeting all custom check requirements: ## Logging at meaningful decision points: - Per-entry filtering decision logged at tracing::debug when when expression excludes an entry, with stable contextual fields: section (targets/actions), entry_name_hash (8-character SHA-256 hash prefix), iteration_index (optional foreach index), and when_expression_len (byte count only). - Summary event logged at expansion completion, reporting exact aggregate counts: filtered_targets, filtered_actions, filtered_entry_count, and omitted_filtered_entries. - Logging excludes raw entry names, expression text, and item values; only lengths and hashes are exposed. ## Metrics with bounded cardinality: Three unlabelled aggregate counters introduced: - netsuke_manifest_filtered_targets_total: count of excluded targets - netsuke_manifest_filtered_actions_total: count of excluded actions - netsuke_manifest_omitted_filtered_entries_total: count of filtered entries beyond the 64-entry retention cap All three metrics validated as unlabelled with exact_labels(key, &[]) in src/observability_recorder.rs, preventing label cardinality explosion. Metric values are aggregate counts (bounded by manifest size and processing constraints), not manifest-controlled values. ## Tracing boundary correctly positioned: - expand_foreach is a pure transformation returning ExpansionReport with no embedded telemetry side effects. - trace_expansion_report is called by normal manifest loading orchestrator, not by expansion itself. - Manifest-query loading explicitly supplies None as the observer, preserving side-effect-free queries. - ExpansionReport provides sufficient data for caller-owned tracing policy: exact counts, bounded redacted metadata, and overflow tracking. ## Privacy and safety: - Entry names hashed (SHA-256 first 4 bytes, rendered as 8 hex characters) rather than included in plain text. - Expression content never emitted; only byte length is logged. - foreach item values excluded from logs. - Bounded retention (64 entries maximum) with overflow count prevents unbounded growth. - Sensitive payloads cannot be reconstructed from hashes and lengths alone. ## Testing validates requirements: - src/manifest/tests/expansion_telemetry.rs: verifies normal loading emits exactly 64 retained events with bounded metadata, aggregate summary with exact counts, absence of raw names/expressions, and correct metric values for 65 filtered targets. - src/manifest/tests/workspace.rs::manifest_query_does_not_emit_expansion_telemetry: confirms manifest queries emit neither expansion debug events nor filtering metrics. - src/observability_recorder_tests.rs::recorder_retains_unlabelled_manifest_filtering_counters: validates recorder accepts unlabelled manifest filtering metrics and rejects labelled variants. - Documentation (users-guide, netsuke-design, developers-guide) clearly explains the observability boundary and metric behaviour. The implementation correctly separates transformation logic from observability policy, places logging at meaningful decision boundaries with stable non-sensitive fields, enforces bounded cardinality on metrics, and includes comprehensive test coverage for both normal and query loading paths.

Reviewer's Guide

Separates manifest expansion from telemetry by having expansion return structured filtering data instead of emitting tracing events directly, and introduces an orchestrator-side tracer that logs the same privacy-preserving information based on the expansion report.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Make manifest expansion return a structured report with filtering stats and per-entry metadata instead of logging via tracing.	Introduce FilteredEntry to carry bounded, non-sensitive metadata about entries removed by when expressions, including section, hashed name, iteration index, and when-expression length. Introduce ExpansionReport to aggregate FilteringStats and a vector of FilteredEntry records as the outcome of expansion. Change expand_foreach to return ExpansionReport, collecting filtered entries from targets and actions and building stats from their counts. Change expand_section and expand_target to accumulate FilteredEntry instances instead of simple counters when entries are filtered. Refactor when_allows to return an optional FilteredEntry on filter instead of a boolean, removing all tracing calls and the has_subscriber helper.	src/manifest/expand.rs
Move tracing responsibility to the orchestrator by adding a helper that emits debug telemetry based on the expansion report and wiring it into manifest loading.	Import ExpansionReport in the manifest module alongside expand_foreach. Add trace_expansion_report helper that iterates over filtered entries and logs per-entry debug events plus a summary counts event, matching the previous event shape but driven by data. Update from_str_named to call expand_foreach, capture the returned ExpansionReport, and then invoke trace_expansion_report before final rendering.	src/manifest/mod.rs
Update tests to validate the new ExpansionReport structure and to ensure expansion is telemetry-free while the orchestrator-side tracer preserves previous logging behavior.	Extend expand_foreach_returns_filtering_stats test to assert ExpansionReport.stats matches expected counts, that there is one filtered-entry event per removed entry, and that section attribution is correct. Adjust tracing-capture test to rename it for trace_expansion_report, ensure expand_foreach emits no telemetry, then call trace_expansion_report and verify the resulting debug event has the same privacy-preserving shape as before, including hashed entry name and absence of raw secrets.	src/manifest/expand_tests.rs src/manifest/expand_test_cases/tracing_capture.rs

regression test verifying truncation and accurate aggregate counts.

@coderabbitai Addressed the valid review findings in 0e6cf94:

• Bound retained filtering records to 64 and added an explicit omission count while preserving exact target/action aggregates.
• Added exact known-hash metadata assertions for static and foreach exclusions in both manifest sections.
• Added a public manifest::from_str telemetry test that checks bounded filtered events, exact summary fields, and redaction.
• Added a property invariant covering exact aggregates and retained-plus-omitted completeness.
• Updated the developer and design documentation for the report, privacy, retention, and caller-owned telemetry boundary.

All deterministic gates pass: check-fmt, markdownlint, nixie, typecheck, doc-coverage, test (2,628 nextest; 32 doctests), and lint.

@leynos The implementation addresses the retention, omission, metadata, privacy, caller-owned telemetry, property-invariant, and documentation findings.

Extend src/manifest/tests/expansion_telemetry.rs before resolving the review comments. The current public from_str test has only two excluded entries. It verifies event fields and redaction, but it does not verify the 64-event cap through the loading path.

Create more than 64 excluded entries through from_str. Assert all of the following:

• Exactly 64 "filtered manifest entry by when expression" events occur.
• The summary reports the exact total filtered count.
• omitted_filtered_entries equals the excess count.
• The captured events still exclude raw entry names and when expressions.

The lower-level expand_foreach_bounds_retained_filtered_entries test verifies the report cap. The public telemetry test must also verify that trace_expansion_report preserves that cap.

@coderabbitai Please suggest a fix for this issue and supply a prompt for an AI coding agent to enable it to apply the fix. Include the file and symbol names indicated in the issue at the head of your response. Ensure that this is validated against the current version of the codegraph.

If further refinement to address this finding would be deleterious, please supply a clear explanatory one to two paragraph markdown message in a code block that I can paste into the CodeScene web ui's diagnostic suppression function so this diagnostic can be silenced.

Large Method

src/manifest/expand_tests.rs: expand_foreach_returns_filtering_stats

What lead to degradation?

expand_foreach_returns_filtering_stats has 72 lines, threshold = 70

Why does this problem occur?

Overly long functions make the code harder to read. The recommended maximum function length for the Rust language is 70 lines of code. Severity: Brain Method - Complex Method - Long Method.

How to fix it?

We recommend to be careful here -- just splitting long functions don't necessarily make the code easier to read. Instead, look for natural chunks inside the functions that expresses a specific task or concern. Often, such concerns are indicated by a Code Comment followed by an if-statement. Use the EXTRACT FUNCTION refactoring to encapsulate that concern.
