Problem

Policy chains are keyed by the Envoy route name, and the policy engine hardcodes policyChainKey = routeKey. That works only when HTTP method + path uniquely identify an operation. It breaks for multiplexed transports, where many logical operations share one route — an A2A JSON-RPC call carries its operation in $.method, MCP in $.params.name, GraphQL in the document body. Today each such kind would re-implement request reading, chain selection and error rendering, and no two would agree.

This PR adds the seam so a new kind contributes only its request-reading step and its operation table.

###Design

kind-specific:   request                    ──extract──▶  canonical operation identifier
generic:         (apiID, vhost, operation)  ──compose──▶  chain key

A resolver identifies the operation; it never builds a key. The engine composes the key from the operation with a construction the controller also uses when it emits chains (common/chainkey), so two transports of one logical operation select the same chain because the composition is a pure function of the operation, not because one route was pointed at another's key

This is a prerequisite for #2844

Warning

Review limit reached

@RakhithaRR, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 19 minutes

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds shared chain-key utilities, control-plane route validation, prepared operation resolvers, xDS capability and route ingestion, deferred request resolution, body limits, resolution telemetry, and administrative route metadata.

Changes

Policy resolution pipeline

Layer / File(s) Summary
Chain keys and control-plane validation
common/chainkey/*, gateway/gateway-controller/pkg/models/runtime_deploy_config.go, gateway/gateway-controller/pkg/policyxds/*
The code adds canonical chain-key composition and parsing. Runtime deploy configurations validate chain references, resolver partitions, API ownership, vhost ownership, and route combinations before storage. xDS route resources include effective resolver and canonical chain-key metadata.
Resolver contracts and registry
gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/resolver/*
The resolver API now uses prepared resolvers, typed request views, typed resolution outcomes, failure classifications, route binding, and injected registries with freezing and capability listing.
xDS capability advertisement and route ingestion
gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/xdsclient/*
xDS discovery requests advertise the resolution protocol and supported resolver names. Route ingestion parses resolver metadata, prepares routes, validates body limits, and skips unusable routes.
Runtime wiring and route metadata
gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/cmd/policy-engine/*, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/admin/*, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/constants/*
Startup creates and injects the default resolver registry. Administrative route metadata reports resolver state, chain keys, body limits, and buffering behavior. Tracing and terminal-reason constants describe resolution state.
External-processing limits
gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/config/*, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/metrics/*
Configuration derives ext_proc message limits from body ceilings and validates configured values. Metrics record request-time resolution failures and xDS route-ingest failures.
Execution context and deferred binding
gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/kernel/execution_context.go, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/kernel/extproc.go, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/kernel/mapper.go
Routes are prepared during ingestion. Request processing supports static binding, header-phase resolution, deferred body-phase binding, resolution denial, resolver metadata, and route-specific body limits.
Resolution kernel and body handling
gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/kernel/resolution.go, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/kernel/resolution_test.go
The kernel buffers and decodes request bodies, enforces wire and decoded-size limits, validates content encodings, binds policy chains, classifies failures, renders correlated responses, and records tracing attributes.
Mutation translation
gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/kernel/translator.go
Shared translation helpers merge header and body results, preserve analytics, build immediate responses, and recompress modified request bodies.
Supporting test updates
gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/kernel/*_test.go, gateway/gateway-runtime/policy-engine/internal/xdsclient/*_test.go
Existing test setup now supplies resolver registries and prepared routes. New tests cover route preparation, resolver capabilities, deferred resolution, body handling, metadata, metrics, and failure paths.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9c8c2

The PR’s body-limit configuration changes can overflow near the int64 maximum and can reject valid configurations when only a body ceiling is raised, causing valid requests to fail or deployments to be rejected. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

269-296: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider a nil-receiver guard for consistency.

ValidateResolution defends against a nil PolicyChain value and a nil Route, but it dereferences rdc without a check. PolicyManager.UpsertAPIConfig passes the transformer result straight through, so a transformer that returns (nil, nil) panics here instead of returning a named deploy-time error. The same dereference existed downstream before this change, so this is hardening rather than a new fault.

Both sides of the assertion are the same call with the same literal arguments. The test cannot fail while For is deterministic, which line 35 already checks. It does not verify that two transports derive the same operation name.

Route this short-circuit through collectShortCircuitAnalytics.

translateRequestActionsCore still builds its short-circuit analytics with an inline loop. The new collectShortCircuitAnalytics helper performs the same aggregation, and mergePolicyAnalytics performs the same header-filter resolution. Two copies of this logic can diverge, and the inline copy is the one that is not covered by the deferred-path tests.

Call the helper with a nil header-result slice to keep one implementation.

Optional: pass the request id into the header-phase failure log.

Line 223 passes an empty requestID. Every header-phase resolution denial then logs request_id="". The headers carry x-request-id, and the body-phase path (denyResolution) logs it. An operator correlating a 4xx across Envoy access logs and this log loses that join key for header-phase denials.

The x-error-id correlation id still works, so this is observability polish rather than a defect.
