Enable stock Kafka 4.4.0/Aiven 1.2.0 tiered storage on the existing Kafka broker, preserving its data directory, cluster/topic generations, offsets and archive routes. Broker and worker share the existing backend contracts and cluster-derived prefix. The canonical deployment reconciler enables remote storage on all six existing topics.

Extend the existing account-erasure retention hook with complete native deletion history, object/multipart enumeration, local/cache removal checks, final generation checks and both retained-root holds. Deployment verifies pinned plugin checksums, required mounts, region and actual consumed broker/worker backend equality. No plugin fork, fallback mode or new tracking service is introduced. The explicitly accepted late unknown-outcome PUT/indefinite-orphan residual remains documented.

All required checks passed in CI run 42675662257, including Mutation Testing. Earlier missing/abandoned jobs coincided with the GitHub Actions and Checks API outage; a passing run does not establish a source-code repair for GitHub's scheduler. Branch protection remains active with no bypass actors. Local validation passed 23,939 unit/mobile tests, full lint, spelling, root/server/web typechecks and actionlint. Native qualification records preserved identities/offsets, remote reads after eviction/restart, canonical six-topic policy convergence and current-workspace retention rejection/recovery checks, with explicit attribution limits.

Source merge does not authorize production activation. Deploy Web remains manually disabled. Stock index-cache cleanup remains an activation blocker: covered disk indexes survived terminal remote deletion, and the guard correctly rejected them. Clearing only the stopped synthetic fixture's cache proved its positive branch, not automatic cleanup. The phase-2 packet also requires exact merged-image qualification, fresh production identity/backend/credential checks, measured capacity, quiescence, forward recovery and retained-data retirement.

Walkthrough

This change enables Kafka tiered storage with upstream Aiven and adds account-erasure checks for Kafka metadata, remote objects, multipart uploads, and local index-cache files. It also updates deployment environment rendering and records offline qualification results, remaining release gates, and proposed cutover procedures.

Changes: Kafka tiered-storage deployment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deployment and environment configuration
deploy/kafka/AGENTS.md, deploy/kafka/README.md, deploy/stack.yml, scripts/deploy-service-environment.ts, scripts/deploy-service-environment.test.ts, .github/workflows/deploy-web-stack.yml, cspell.json
The stack enables Aiven remote storage for Kafka and mounts the plugin and broker data paths. Environment rendering maps Kafka tiered-storage inputs and adds a cluster-ID-derived prefix; worker environment keys and host-path checks are updated. Workspace notes describe the tiered-storage candidate and its constraints.

Account-erasure verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Kafka remote-record decoder
src/account-erasure/kafka-remote-record.ts, src/account-erasure/kafka-remote-record.test.ts
The decoder parses supported Kafka 4.4 remote-metadata records and rejects malformed or unsupported input. Tests cover decoded fields, truncated records, and invalid data.
Native remote-history verification
src/account-erasure/redpanda-drain.ts, src/account-erasure/redpanda-drain.test.ts, src/account-erasure/kafka-remote-history.ts, src/account-erasure/kafka-remote-history.test.ts
The Kafka admin factory creates metadata consumers with unique group IDs and a 1 MiB maxBytes limit. The history reader consumes a captured __remote_log_metadata offset cut and reconstructs segment states, rejecting incomplete or invalid histories.
Remote-object expiration checks
src/account-erasure/kafka-remote-storage.ts, src/account-erasure/kafka-remote-storage.test.ts
The remote verifier checks object and multipart-upload listings against native-deletion results and erasure boundaries. It validates pagination and rejects retained or unrecognized entries.
Broker-storage and runtime integration
src/account-erasure/kafka-log-storage.ts, src/account-erasure/kafka-log-storage.test.ts, src/jobs/account-erasure-runtime.ts, src/jobs/account-erasure-runtime.test.ts
Broker-storage verification requires the configured remote plugins, checks retired directories and remote index-cache entries, and invokes the remote verifier. Runtime setup configures a dedicated R2 client and Kafka remote-history and storage adapters, then closes the client during cleanup.

Qualification and release documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Qualification evidence and storage decision
deploy/kafka/qualification.md, deploy/kafka/tiered-fencing-proposal.md, docs/account-erasure-runbook.md, docs/evidence/kafka-tiered-child-20261108/*, docs/plans/2026-11-08-kafka-tiered-storage.md, docs/production-incident-baseline.md
The documents record Aiven selection, offline qualification results and limits, the accepted late-upload orphan outcome, and outstanding release gates. The evidence does not establish cloud R2 behavior or production deployment.
Cutover reference and procedures
deploy/kafka/tiered-cutover-packet.md, deploy/kafka/cutover-packet.md, deploy/kafka/operator-proposal.md
The tiered packet records proposed setup, topic, routing, first-write, and recovery procedures. The earlier broker packet and operator proposal point to it as the current reference and state that no production action is authorized.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review 4cae5

Resolve the deployment and erasure safeguards before merging: ordinary deployment can initialize tiering prematurely, configuration failures can prevent service recovery, and remote verification can stall or accept checks against the wrong backend. Credential handling and two-phase release guidance also need correction.

Summary of Review

The pull request successfully implements upstream Aiven Kafka tiered storage and integrates fail-closed remote storage erasure validation into account erasure workflows.

Highlights:

  1. Tiered Storage Configuration & Deployment:

    • deploy/stack.yml and scripts/deploy-service-environment.ts cleanly configure stock Kafka 4.4.0 with upstream Aiven 1.2.0 RemoteStorageManager and topic-based TopicBasedRemoteLogMetadataManager.
    • Dedicated R2 configuration parameters (KAFKA_TIERED_STORAGE_*) and the cluster prefix derived from KAFKA_CLUSTER_ID are accurately rendered to the broker and worker environments.
    • Host volumes for plugin mounts (/mnt/dofek-data/kafka/plugins) and data directories (/mnt/dofek-data/kafka-broker/data) are verified before deployment.
  2. Account Erasure & Verification:

    • KafkaLogStorage enforces single-broker invariants, valid meta.properties, log directory configurations, and remote index cache cleanup under /var/lib/dofek/kafka-data/remote-log-index-cache.
    • Both retired Redpanda and aborted Kafka directories are verified to ensure no unapproved residual data remains.
    • KafkaRemoteStorage and KafkaRemoteHistoryReader cleanly decode __remote_log_metadata records, assert terminal deletion status for covered segments, and verify remote object/MPU listings against the cluster prefix in R2.
  3. Test Coverage:

    • Comprehensive test suites cover positive paths and edge cases (corrupt metadata, generation mismatches, lingering index cache files, incomplete multipart uploads, and pagination errors).

LGTM!

5-6: Minor · Potential issue · Quick win

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The reported 29 canonical environment keys match the 29 inline Kafka settings in deploy/stack.yml, but that service also loads KAFKA_ENV_FILE. If the comparison counted only inline settings, its apparent all-key qualification omits the broker's generated backend settings; the separate synthetic renderer-equality assertion does not itself show that the broker consumed them.

The configuration evidence could report a complete canonical comparison despite missing a broker-side configuration mismatch.

This can occur when: A generated env-file key is absent or differs from the setting the local broker actually consumed.

scripts/deploy-service-environment.ts: 1

225-225: Minor · Potential issue · Heavy lift

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

The renderer now requires all five tiered-storage settings for every Kafka artifact, without a phase-one policy. If those settings are reserved for the separately approved tiered release, ordinary Kafka-only deployments cannot render their service environments.

The normal deployment stops at environment rendering, even when its intended release is Kafka-only.

This can occur when: A phase-one environment has KAFKA_CLUSTER_ID but has not yet been provisioned with tiered-storage credentials.

Review comments at @.github/workflows/deploy-web-stack.yml:
- Around line 542-543: Replace the directory-only checks with validation of the
required pinned Kafka plugin artifacts and their expected checksums before the
stack apply; ensure missing, incomplete, or checksum-mismatched artifacts fail
deployment, while preserving the existing broker readiness check.

Review comments at @deploy/kafka/cutover-packet.md:
- Around line 3-5: Update the cutover notice and linked tiered-cutover-packet to
describe the phase-one path: deploy Kafka before tiered storage. Remove the
conflicting prohibition on standalone hot-log activation while preserving the
separate review and approval gates for Broker PR #3233 and tiered PR #3236; do
not imply that either phase is authorized without its required approval.

Review comments at @deploy/kafka/operator-proposal.md:
- Around line 3-5: Update the notice in the Kafka operator proposal to treat the
linked tiered-storage packet as a reference, not as a defined transition from
the phase-one broker. State that phase two still requires a separately reviewed
procedure covering commands and first-write/recovery boundaries, while
preserving that the automatic-deployment decision remains open.

Review comments at @deploy/kafka/tiered-cutover-packet.md:
- Around line 413-414: Update the source-landing guidance in this section to
mark the tiered broker-only cutover and complete-child retarget proposal as
historical, then align the current landing guidance with the Kafka-first,
two-phase order stated in the opening notice.
- Around line 343-344: Update both the worker and broker service-update examples
to stop passing KAFKA_TIERED_STORAGE_ACCESS_KEY_ID and
KAFKA_TIERED_STORAGE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY in command-line arguments. Use a
credential-delivery mechanism that keeps their values out of process arguments
while preserving the required-credential checks.

Review comments at @deploy/stack.yml:
- Line 138: Update deployment validation for the `/mnt/dofek-data/kafka/data`
source mounted at `/var/lib/dofek/aborted-kafka-data` so the root is validated
and provisioned before the stack apply; establish and use the correct retired
root containing any retained data, and do not create an empty substitute.
- Line 372: Update KAFKA_REMOTE_LOG_STORAGE_SYSTEM_ENABLE so normal phase-one
deploys retain the existing broker configuration; enable remote storage only
through the established phase-two approval transition, after qualification and
backend checks pass.

Review comments at @docs/evidence/kafka-tiered-child-20261108/README.md:
- Line 56: The README receipt does not provide verifiable evidence of recovery
after artifact removal. Update the receipt to link the post-removal results, or
explicitly mark recovery as unverified; include a link to an official document,
specification, or primary source supporting any claim.
- Around line 48-51: In the README’s immutable-worker evidence summary, qualify
the production retention result because the receipt does not identify the
runtime used for that phase. State that retention passed without attributing it
to the packaged image, and keep the packaged remote-only read’s digest-match
claim distinct.

Review comments at @docs/evidence/kafka-tiered-child-20261108/tiered-phase.json:
- Line 157: Update the negative-check records in the receipt so each identifies
the specific root path tested and its evidence; ensure the two observations
distinguish the retired roots rather than appearing as repeated checks of one
root.

Review comments at @docs/production-incident-baseline.md:
- Around line 35755-35757: Update the incident-baseline entry for CI run
42529586807 to link the primary CI evidence for the Test / Spell Check job and
failed mutation run, and cite the primary evidence supporting the passing
mutation scores. Use verified source URLs rather than inferring or inventing
links.

Review comments at @scripts/deploy-service-environment.test.ts:
- Line 207: Extend the quoted-input test to assert that the parsed broker prefix
is quoted-cluster-id/ and the parsed worker ID is quoted-cluster-id. Locate the
test using the KAFKA_RSM_CONFIG_KEY_PREFIX fixture and verify both values come
from parsed dotenv input rather than raw text.

Review comments at @scripts/deploy-service-environment.ts:
- Line 8: Validate the parsed KAFKA_TIERED_STORAGE_REGION before writing service
environments, rejecting unsupported values while preserving auto as accepted.
Ensure this validation occurs before deployment can proceed to migrations or
stop the existing worker.

Review comments at @src/account-erasure/kafka-log-storage.ts:
- Around line 257-258: Update the retention flow around `#remote.assertExpired`
to recheck every checkpoint’s topic ID after remote verification and the cache
checks, before allowing retention to complete. Preserve the existing generation
validation and ensure a recreated topic cannot pass based only on the earlier
checks.
- Around line 101-106: Update the verifier’s broker configuration collection
around configNames to establish the effective broker backend, including its
bucket and prefix, and compare it with the worker backend before accepting
remote absence. Fail erasure verification when the backends differ; use the
existing configuration and verification mechanisms rather than assuming a new
API.

Review comments at @src/account-erasure/kafka-remote-history.ts:
- Around line 40-50: Attach rejection handling to `completion` immediately so a
timeout during consumer setup cannot become unhandled. Restructure the flow
around `completion` and `timeout` so the 30-second deadline covers setup, the
erasure check, and consumer cleanup, and the check can settle when that deadline
expires rather than remaining blocked in setup. Preserve the existing timeout
failure and cleanup behavior.

Review comments at @src/account-erasure/kafka-remote-storage.test.ts:
- Around line 109-114: Add a separate pagination test alongside the existing
test that uses `assertExpired`: return no covered objects on the first object
page and a covered object on the second, then assert that `assertExpired`
rejects it. Keep multipart-upload results from causing the rejection so the test
specifically verifies detection of retained objects on later pages.

Review comments at @src/account-erasure/kafka-remote-storage.ts:
- Around line 64-70: Apply an aborting deadline to both object-listing
operations that call this.#client.send with ListObjectsV2Command, using the
client’s supported request-abort mechanism. Ensure a deadline expiration aborts
the stalled request and propagates as a failure so the existing retry flow can
handle it; do not treat it as an empty listing.

Summary of Changes & Audit

LGTM! The PR thoroughly implements Phase 2 tiered storage support using upstream Aiven 1.2.0 with stock Kafka 4.4.0, along with fail-closed native remote erasure verification.

Key Highlights Verified:

  1. Erasure Verification & Safety Checks (src/account-erasure/):

    • KafkaRemoteRecordReader: Decodes binary __remote_log_metadata records strictly with schema validation and offset bounds checking.
    • KafkaRemoteHistoryReader: Validates terminal deletion history for remote log segments, handles pagination/consumer timeouts, and fails closed on uncommitted or out-of-order lifecycle states.
    • KafkaRemoteStorage: Enumerates both stored objects and multipart uploads under the derived cluster prefix, ensuring complete cleanup.
    • KafkaLogStorage: Enforces remote storage checks, inspects index caches (remote-log-index-cache), and preserves hold checks against retired Redpanda and aborted Kafka roots.
  2. Runtime Wiring & Resource Cleanup (src/jobs/account-erasure-runtime.ts):

    • Correctly integrates KafkaLogStorage and KafkaRemoteStorage into the account erasure pipeline.
    • Proper lifecycle management with startupCleanup handling startup failures and close() ensuring brokerR2Client and dependent resources are cleanly destroyed.
  3. Deploy Configuration & Environment Generation (scripts/deploy-service-environment.ts, deploy/stack.yml):

    • Accurately renders and maps KAFKA_TIERED_STORAGE_* to KAFKA_RSM_CONFIG_* and AWS credentials for the broker container while keeping worker env keys aligned.
    • Derives and validates KAFKA_RSM_CONFIG_KEY_PREFIX=${environment.KAFKA_CLUSTER_ID}/ with the 22-character UUID validation.
    • Validates existence of the tiered storage plugin mount /opt/kafka/plugins/tiered-storage.
  4. Testing & Qualification Evidence:

    • Unit tests comprehensively cover valid transitions, duplicate/skipped records, trimmed metadata history, index cache files, corrupted binary payloads, and timeout/connection errors.
    • Cutover packets, operator proposals, and offline qualification evidence are documented cleanly according to repository runbook standards.

Addressed the inline feedback and both additional items from CodeRabbit review 5821729738 in 2d5a39afe.

  • Historical configuration evidence now states that its 29 inline keys did not retain the actual env-file key comparison. It no longer claims complete consumed-backend equality. The canonical workflow now checks the actual generated broker properties and credential environment against the intended and service-template worker environment before migrations and after rollout, with drift regressions and no value logging.
  • Phase 1 is complete and merged. This branch represents the selected tiered steady state, requiring all existing tiered settings. An optional credential-free phase-1 branch/fallback was not added. The already manually disabled Deploy Web workflow remains held, its state is recorded, and source merge does not authorize reenabling it or deployment. Missing required settings fail before environment output/migrations.
  • Updated the title with the deploy area prefix and rewrote the phase-2 packet/PR description around existing-data activation through the normal workflow. Unsafe historical credential-argument commands were removed.

Validation: 23,939 unit/mobile tests, full lint, spelling, root/server/web typechecks and actionlint passed. Native existing-broker transition evidence records unchanged native identities/offsets, remote reads after eviction/restart, actual six-topic policy convergence and current-workspace phase rejection/recovery checks. The final independent review found no other major issue, but stock index-cache cleanup remains an activation blocker: the actual guard correctly blocks covered cached indexes after terminal remote deletion. Synthetic stopped-broker cache removal establishes only its positive branch. Preserve the guard and deployment hold. Exact post-merge image, production R2/backend/credential scope, capacity, quiescence and retained-data retirement remain separate release gates. New remote CI is running.
