History

Share cloud drizzle schema across DbService + MCP session

mcp-session.ts was building its own combinedSchema from cloudSchema only, dropping every executor-schema table — every /mcp request failed with [storage-drizzle] unknown model "source". Export combinedSchema from services/db.ts and consume it in both DbService.Live and the MCP Durable Object so drift can't happen. Regression coverage: - db.schema.test.ts asserts combinedSchema (and drizzle's _.fullSchema) contain every cloud + executor export - mcp-session.e2e.node.test.ts drives a real @modelcontextprotocol/sdk Client through listTools / callTool / form elicitation round-trips

1+# Postgres RLS — optional, not required
2+
3+## TL;DR
4+
5+**RLS is not needed for the current architecture.** Tenant isolation is
6+enforced at the application layer: every query against a scoped table
7+(see `notes/scopes.md`) is routed through the scope adapter which ANDs
8+`scope_id = <current scope>` into every read and stamps it on every
9+write. Only the worker talks to the DB; clients authenticate to the
10+worker via WorkOS JWT, never to Postgres directly. One DB role
11+(`postgres`) owns every row. RLS would be a second lock on a door that's
12+already locked.
13+
14+The only reason to turn RLS on is **defense-in-depth** — a belt against
15+a future bug where a drizzle query forgets to filter by `scope_id`.
16+Without RLS, such a query silently returns cross-tenant rows. With RLS,
17+it returns zero rows.
18+
19+## When RLS matters
20+
21+RLS earns its weight when untrusted clients connect directly to Postgres
22+with per-user credentials (the Supabase / PostgREST model). Not our
23+shape.
24+
25+Consider turning it on if any of these change:
26+
27+- Clients start hitting Postgres directly (JWT-authed session, row-level
28+ policies as the only authorisation layer).
29+- We run multiple DB roles that need row-level isolation between them.
30+- We decide the cost of a missed `scope_id` filter in app code is high
31+ enough to want a DB-level backstop.
32+
33+## How it would work with scope merging
34+
35+Scope merging (`ScopeStack` in `notes/scopes.md`) means reads fan out
36+across multiple scopes while writes target exactly one. RLS policies
37+mirror that asymmetry by reading two settings per request:
38+
39+```sql
40+CREATE POLICY scope_read ON source FOR SELECT
41+ USING (scope_id = ANY(current_setting('app.scope_chain', true)::text[]));
42+
43+CREATE POLICY scope_write ON source FOR INSERT
44+ WITH CHECK (scope_id = current_setting('app.write_scope', true));
45+
46+CREATE POLICY scope_update ON source FOR UPDATE
47+ USING (scope_id = current_setting('app.write_scope', true))
48+ WITH CHECK (scope_id = current_setting('app.write_scope', true));
49+
50+ALTER TABLE source ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY;
51+```
52+
53+And app-side, once per request inside a transaction (so `SET LOCAL`
54+takes):
55+
56+```ts
57+yield* sql`SET LOCAL app.scope_chain = ${toPgArray(chain)}`;
58+yield* sql`SET LOCAL app.write_scope = ${writeScope}`;
59+```
60+
61+`current_setting('…', true)` returns null when the setting is missing,
62+which is what you want — a connection that forgets to configure the
63+scope sees zero rows, not an error that might be handled into a 500.
64+
65+## Rollout sketch (if we ever decide to enable it)
66+
67+1. Add a migration that `ENABLE ROW LEVEL SECURITY` on every scoped
68+ table and installs the read/write policies above. The list of scoped
69+ tables is whatever `executor-schema.ts` exports with a `scope_id`
70+ column — same set the scope adapter already knows about.
71+2. Add an Effect layer that wraps the DbService to issue the two `SET
72+ LOCAL`s at connection acquire. `postgres.js`'s `sql.begin` already
73+ gives us the transaction boundary.
74+3. Leave `BYPASSRLS` off the worker's role so we actually get the
75+ enforcement; grant it on the role used by the migration / admin
76+ scripts.
77+
78+Ballpark effort: a day including the migration + the Effect layer +
79+tests. Worth doing only if we hit a scope-leak bug in prod or change
80+the access model.
