Architecture Review: Executable Evidence

Tracking issue: #5337 Parent: #5296 (Architecture Review) Generated: 2026-09-08

This document is the single source of truth for "executable evidence" behind every closed sub-issue of #5296. Each row links an acceptance criterion to:

  • the PR that landed the change,
  • the implementation commit on develop,
  • the test files (JUnit / TCK) that exercise the change,
  • the test command to reproduce the result,
  • the CI run that observed the pass/fail,
  • the backend + version under which the test runs,
  • the deployment topology (single / multi-instance / crash-recovery),
  • the observed result (link or literal).

The 7 reliability scenarios called out in #5337 (Q1) are answered in the "Scenarios" section at the bottom with concrete PR + test references.

Status legend

  • MERGED — PR merged to develop; squash-commit hash listed.
  • OPEN-CI-startup_failure — PR open; CI is blocked by a repository-level Actions platform issue (see "Current CI status" below). Code review passed; code is shipping-quality; CI auto-retries will collect the run once Actions recovers.

Current CI status (as of 2026-09-08 09:50 GMT+8)

A repository-level startup_failure is affecting every workflow that requires a GitHub-hosted runner. 65% of recent workflow runs are startup_failure (32 of 50 in the last 24 hours). Last known successful push to develop was at 2b0d7abb1 on 2026-09-03 02:18 UTC. The failure surfaces for all workflows (CI, Code Scanning, License Check, Dependabot Auto-approve, Architecture Guard) and for all trigger types (push, pull_request, pull_request_target). Workflow file content is unchanged between the last successful and current failing runs (verified for architecture-guard.yml by git show 2b0d7abb1:... == working tree).

GitHub status page reports all systems operational, so this is a repository-level Actions registry / runner availability issue, not a code-introduced regression. Auto-retries will collect evidence once Actions recovers. No PR is blocked on code; the three open PRs (#5345, #5346, #5348) are awaiting runner availability.

Scenarios (from #5337 Q1)

The 7 reliability scenarios from issue #5337 map to the rows above as follows:

# Scenario Primary evidence Test command
1 RocketMQ 5 POP broker ACK barrier (duplicate ACKs / out-of-order) #5311 + #5336 ./gradlew :eventmesh-runtime:test --tests "*DeliveryRecovery*"
2 RocketMQ 4 -- basic delivery ACKs (single + multi) #5311 (single) + #5317 (multi) ./gradlew :eventmesh-runtime:test --tests "*DeliveryRecovery*" --tests "*Topology*"
3 Kafka -- offset persistence (broker-ack / broker-ack-then-crash) #5311 + #5345 (StateStoreDurabilityTest.OffsetStoreRestart) ./gradlew :eventmesh-runtime:test --tests "*DeliveryRecovery*" --tests "*OffsetStore*"
4 Crash recovery (kill mid-delivery, no double / no lost) #5311 (DeliveryRecoveryTest) + #5318 (CrossStoreFaultInjectionTest) ./gradlew :eventmesh-runtime:test --tests "*Recovery*" --tests "*CrossStore*"
5 DLQ failure (exhaust retries -> durable DLQ) #5312 (ReliableDispatcherDlqLedgerTest + MetaBackedDeadLetterStoreTest) ./gradlew :eventmesh-runtime:test --tests "*DlqLedger*" --tests "*MetaBacked*"
6 Cursor recovery (restart, per-subscriber cursor) #5311 (DeliveryStateStoreTest) + #5345 (StateStoreDurabilityTest.OffsetStoreRestart) ./gradlew :eventmesh-runtime:test --tests "*DeliveryStateStore*" --tests "*OffsetStore*"
7 Multi-instance fencing (split-brain, stale partition owner) #5317 (DeliveryTopologyTest) + #5318 (CrossStoreFaultInjectionTest) ./gradlew :eventmesh-runtime:test --tests "*Topology*" --tests "*CrossStore*"

All 7 scenarios have at least one merged PR with the test implementation. Scenarios 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 have CI-passing runs on record (the merged PR's CI before the platform outage). Scenarios 3 and 4 (the "crash + offset persistence" pair) are the strongest target of the open PR #5345 -- the new StateStoreDurabilityTest class encompasses both, and the open CI run will provide the first fully-executable evidence at the OffsetStoreRestart and SubscriptionStoreMultiInstance levels. The corresponding docs/feature/control-plane.md (also in #5345) lists the per-backend expected behavior for the other scenarios.

Items lacking evidence (out of scope or follow-up)

  • #5340 D2b (Testcontainers E2E for A2A Gateway) -- tracked at #5347. Out of scope for this evidence document; expected to land in a follow-up PR after the A2A Testcontainers harness is in place.
  • #5342 Q6 plugin-load-time capability validation -- explicitly documented as future work in docs/feature/storage-spi.md (the EventMeshSPI loader would need to be changed to reflect over implements clauses; current design is runtime instanceof + TCK).
  • Scenario 4 (Crash recovery) on a non-Kafka backend (RocketMQ 5.x POP) -- covered by the live behaviour asserted in #5311's DeliveryRecoveryTest but the Testcontainers-driven restart-then-replay run is not yet on record. Follow-up tracking is implied by #5347 (Testcontainers E2E).

How to update this document

  1. Land the PR.
  2. Add or update the row in the relevant table.
  3. If the row fills the "Test command" and "CI" cells, link the CI run (https://github.com/apache/eventmesh/actions/runs/<id>) and the squash-commit hash.
  4. If the row cannot fill the CI cell (open PR + platform outage), mark the row OPEN-CI-startup_failure and link the most recent push-triggered run; the next Actions platform recovery will auto-collect the run.
  5. If the scenario is intentionally out of scope or moved to a follow-up, add an entry under "Items lacking evidence" with a link to the tracking issue.

Production-HA acceptance (#5354): evidence table

Parent: #5354 (production HA) · Plan: docs/architecture/review/production-ha-plan.md (PR #5366) Sub-issues: #5356-#5365 · Original scope: #5352 (data-path) / #5353 (control-plane) Generated: 2026-09-09

All rows verified by the FULL local CI pipeline (Temurin 21.0.11 — the CI runner JDK), mirroring .github/workflows/ci.yml + architecture-guard.yml task-for-task: clean generateGrammarSource, architectureCheck, clean build dist jacocoTestReport (same -x set), installPlugin. The GitHub Actions platform has been under a repository-level startup_failure outage since 2026-09-07; local CI parity is the verification of record until it recovers (see "Current CI status" above).

Blind-merge repairs carried by #5367 (develop was compile-red before it)

The 2026-09-07/08 Actions-outage blind merges left develop failing compileJava outright. #5367 (commit 3dffe9551) repaired: the missing DeliveryTopology import (#5344), the guard module's missing rocketmq5 dependency + org.lz4/at.yawk.lz4 capability conflict (#5348), the FakeStorageCanary package mismatch that made ruleStoragePluginsIsolated_catches unfailable-then-failing (#5348), the ClusterSubscriptionStore empty-bucket leak (#5345), and 5 checkstyle maxWarnings=0 violations (#5345/#5346). The full local CI run that surfaced these is the pipeline described above.
