fix(storage): remove redundant authenticated construction passes

[DecisionNerd]

Summary

• fuse staged fixed-run authentication into shape consumption and persist completed-writer digest/length/identity capabilities
• hash each new CAS payload once while copying it into a fresh private CAS inode, with fail-closed durability and recovery boundaries
• remove redundant shaped-output, publication, and hydration payload passes while preserving corruption and reopen semantics
• report application-observed read bytes honestly and document that test(scale): attribute physical bytes per node and edge before SCALE26 #951 owns device-level/allocated/peak-disk evidence

Why

Fly S20 attempt 5 showed bounded RSS but extreme constant-factor authenticated I/O during seal/publication. This change removes redundant whole-payload passes without weakening integrity or crash recovery.

Validation

• cargo test -p graphforge-storage graph_object_store::tests --lib — 30 passed
• cargo test -p graphforge-api resumable_construction --lib — 5 passed
• cargo clippy -p graphforge-storage -p graphforge-api --lib -- -D warnings
• cargo fmt --all -- --check
• python3 scripts/ci/test-non-cypher-surface-gate.py — 12 passed
• python3 scripts/ci/cargo-bazel-drift-check.py
• git diff --check
• independent exact-head review: no actionable findings

Scope

Fixes #971.

#901 remains open and blocked by #951 for actual S20/S22 RSS, elapsed-time, allocated/peak-disk, and provider evidence.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Reliability

  • Improved recovery and resume behavior for interrupted graph construction and publication.
  • Added stronger validation to detect corrupted or tampered artifacts and inventories.
  • Enhanced cleanup and retry safety during graph file installation.

• Performance

  • Reduced redundant data reads during sealing, shaping, encoding, and publication.
  • Improved tracking of application read volumes, retained storage, and output sizes.
  • Added scale coverage for inputs ranging from 1,024 to 4,096 nodes.

Walkthrough

The construction pipeline now reuses authenticated writer metadata, records application-level I/O by phase, validates staged artifacts during consumption, and installs authenticated files into durable CAS objects. Tests cover recovery, corruption boundaries, publication safety, hydration accounting, and scale behavior.

Changes

Authenticated construction pipeline

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Writer authentication and evidence crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_construction.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_construction_encoding.rs	Construction evidence now records phase-specific application reads, canonical output bytes, and retained disk bytes. Writers calculate SHA-256 digests and lengths during output creation. Shape receipts persist authenticated artifact metadata.
Staged sealing and shape recovery crates/graphforge-api/src/resumable_construction.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_construction.rs	Staging uses a combined seal-and-prepare path. Sealing and shaping control artifact authentication passes. Parquet metadata receives separate validation. Recovery and cleanup validate and remove capability receipts by identity.
Publication and CAS adoption crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_construction.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_construction_encoding.rs, crates/graphforge-storage/src/graph_object_store.rs	Publication authenticates inventory and parent manifest control data. CAS adoption accepts authenticated file metadata, verifies temporary objects when required, enforces identity and durability checks, and records logical payload bytes. Hydration records validated and copied bytes.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the change, motivation, scope, linked issue, validation commands, and non-goals. It does not use all template headings or checkboxes, but it provides the required information in a mostly complete form.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The implementation summary supports the coding requirements in #971, including staged authentication, writer capabilities, single-pass CAS installation, hydration verification, recovery behavior, read-byte evidence, and scale testing. Documentation compliance cannot be fully verified because docs/reference/scale-limits.md was excluded by the !/*.md and !/docs/** path filters.

Resolution

Verify docs/reference/scale-limits.md, which was excluded by the !/*.md and !/docs/** filters, to confirm that application-observed I/O is distinguished from physical, allocated, and peak-disk evidence and that the latter is assigned to #951.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed changes are related to #971. They improve authenticated construction, CAS installation, publication, hydration, recovery, evidence accounting, and focused tests without introducing unrelated scope.

Relax the per-phase lower growth bound.

next * 10 >= prior * 15 requires every payload-owned phase to grow by at least 1.5x when the staged payload doubles. cas_application_read_bytes equals canonical_output_bytes, which is Parquet-encoded, and the fixture writes the same label for every row. Footer and row-group overhead stays close to constant and the label column compresses, so encoded output bytes can grow by less than 1.5x without any regression. The assertion then fails for reasons unrelated to redundant passes.

The upper bound and the normalized bytes-per-payload checks already express the bounded-work property. Assert monotonic growth for the lower side.

♻️ Proposed change

             for (prior, next) in prior_phases.into_iter().zip(next_phases) {
                 assert!(
-                    next * 10 >= prior * 15,
-                    "payload-owned phase grew below 1.5x"
+                    next >= prior,
+                    "payload-owned phase did not grow with the payload"
                 );
                 assert!(
                     next * 10 <= prior * 25,
                     "payload-owned phase grew above 2.5x"
                 );

Extract the shared Parquet header validation.

validate_parquet_metadata repeats the open, identity check, builder construction, schema-prefix comparison, schema-digest comparison, and row-count comparison already present in validate_parquet_shape (Lines 5767-5799). Only the row-decoding tail differs. A future change to the canonical schema or receipt fields must be applied twice.

Extract one helper that opens the artifact and validates identity, schema, and row count, then let validate_parquet_shape continue decoding rows from the returned builder.

    root: &StableDirectory,
    receipt: &ConstructionChunkReceipt,
    context: &str,

    // open, identity check with `context` in the message, schema and row-count checks
