User profile delivery is now gated on the user context the device itself reports.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Windows MDM now tracks device login status and user context.
    • User-scoped configuration profiles remain pending until a user signs in.
    • Device-scoped profiles can continue applying while user-scoped profiles are held.
    • Held profiles and removals resume automatically when the required user context is available.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved handling of Windows MDM failures and retries.
    • Profile details now remain within size limits without breaking multibyte characters.

Fleet queued Windows user-scoped profiles (./User/...) as soon as they
applied to a host, without checking whether the host had an MDM user
context. During Autopilot and Entra-join-during-OOBE there is none, so the
write failed, the enclosing Atomic rolled back, and the single retry was
consumed against the identical condition seconds later (measured at 26s
apart on hardware). The profile landed terminally failed and was never
re-sent after the user signed in, even though the same write then succeeds.

Delivery is now gated on the user context the device itself reports:

- Fleet reads the OMA-DM device event alert (1224) with type
  com.microsoft/MDM/LoginStatus and persists it on the enrollment. The
  alert was already arriving and being discarded. It is read on the
  authenticated path, since the device repeats its alerts in MsgID 2 after
  Fleet's challenge.

- Enrollments resolve to one of three states. An enrollment binding no user
  identity (enroll_user_id is not a UPN) can never write the user channel,
  so its user-scoped profiles fail immediately with an explanation instead
  of retrying. An enrollment that binds a UPN but has not reported "user"
  yet holds: the row stays pending with a detail naming what is being
  waited on, and no command is enqueued. Only a reported "user" releases
  the hold; "others" (what Windows reports during OOBE), "none", and
  never-observed all hold.

- A user-channel rejection does not consume the retry budget while the
  enrollment is holding. The exemption keys on that state, not on the
  status code: 405 is returned both for a user-channel write before user
  context exists and for a CSP node the device's Windows edition does not
  support, and 507 on an Atomic says nothing either, since any nested
  failure produces it including the 418 case the resend path recovers from.

Scope is classified from the exact bytes about to ship, using the same
normalization and parse the delivery path uses, so classification cannot
disagree with what is sent. A profile mixing device and user targets is
held as a unit, matching the all-or-nothing semantics the SCEP atomic
wrapper already imposes.

Docs for this behavior follow in a separate PR.

Action required

1. Held rows bypass deletion guard ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
The gate marks held installs for unconditional final upsert, even though it runs before the primary
existence check and can remove fully held profiles from installTargets. If the profile was deleted
after the snapshot, this recreates the exact orphaned host-profile row the existing race guard is
intended to prevent.
Code

server/service/microsoft_mdm.go[R4943-4946]

+		case p.HeldForUserContext:
+			// Held by the user-scope gate: no command was enqueued for this host, so the pending-path upsert never
+			// ran for it. Write the row here instead, otherwise the hold is invisible.
+			hostProfilesForFinalUpdate = append(hostProfilesForFinalUpdate, p)
Evidence
The gate marks held install payloads at lines 4096-4112 and deletes fully held profiles from
installTargets at lines 4115-4119. The deletion guard only queries profiles remaining in
installTargets at lines 4501-4517, while the new final branch persists every held payload at lines
4938-4949; the guard's own comment explains that such rows become unremovable after profile content
is deleted.

## Issue description
Held user-scoped installs are persisted after the profile-deletion race guard without being checked against the set of profiles that still exist. This can create orphaned `host_mdm_windows_profiles` rows for deleted profiles.
## Issue Context
`applyWindowsUserScopeGate` marks held payloads and may remove fully held profiles from `installTargets`. The later existence query therefore cannot validate those profiles, while the final update branch writes every payload marked `HeldForUserContext`.

2. Atomic Exec not scanned ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
BuildMDMWindowsProfilePayloadFromMDMResponse doesn’t examine nested <Exec> commands inside an
<Atomic> when computing UserChannelRejected, so a failed ./User/... Exec won’t trigger the “don’t
spend retries while waiting for user context” rule. This can incorrectly consume retry budget and
mark a user-scoped profile failed during OOBE even though it should be held.
Code

server/fleet/microsoft_mdm.go[R1827-1830]

+		if len(cmds) == 1 && cmds[0].XMLName.Local == CmdAtomic {
+			// atomic profile
+			for _, nested := range slices.Concat(cmds[0].ReplaceCommands, cmds[0].AddCommands, cmds[0].DeleteCommands) {
if status, ok := statuses[nested.CmdID.Value]; ok && status.Data != nil {
-					details = append(details, fmt.Sprintf("%s: status %s", nested.GetTargetURI(), *status.Data))
Evidence
Atomic failures only scan Replace/Add/Delete nested commands, so Exec failures on user-channel
LocURIs won’t set UserChannelRejected, but the retry-budget exemption depends on that flag.

server/fleet/microsoft_mdm.go[1172-1200]
server/datastore/mysql/microsoft_mdm.go[1530-1559]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`BuildMDMWindowsProfilePayloadFromMDMResponse` computes `UserChannelRejected` by iterating per-LocURI statuses, but in the `<Atomic>` case it only iterates nested Replace/Add/Delete commands and ignores nested Exec commands. If a user-channel failure happens on a nested Exec (common in SCEP flows, and possible in other profiles), `UserChannelRejected` stays false and the datastore retry-accounting path won’t apply the “hold without spending retries” exemption.
### Issue Context
- `SyncMLCmd` supports `ExecCommands` inside `<Atomic>`.
- Retry exemption in `updateMDMWindowsHostProfileStatusFromResponseDB` is keyed on `payload.UserChannelRejected`.
### Fix Focus Areas
- server/fleet/microsoft_mdm.go[1813-1841]
- server/datastore/mysql/microsoft_mdm.go[1530-1559]
### What to change
- When `cmds[0].XMLName.Local == CmdAtomic`, include `cmds[0].ExecCommands` in the nested-command traversal used to call `addDetail(...)` (and thus set `UserChannelRejected`).
- Add/extend a unit test to cover an Atomic with a nested `<Exec>` targeting `./User/...` returning `405`/`500` and assert `UserChannelRejected == true`.

3. Replica state bypasses gate 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
Cron reconciliation reads last_login_status from a replica, so after a device reports a transition
from user to others or none, stale user state can release user-scoped installs or removals.
This defeats the gate and can send commands that Windows rejects, potentially advancing failure or
removal handling before replication catches up.
Code

server/service/microsoft_mdm.go[R4073-4075]

+	userContexts, err := ds.GetMDMWindowsUserContextByHostUUID(ctx, slices.Collect(maps.Keys(hostUUIDSet)))
+	if err != nil {
+		return result, ctxerr.Wrap(ctx, err, "get windows user context for hosts")
Evidence
The gate derives its decision directly from GetMDMWindowsUserContextByHostUUID at lines 4073-4084.
That datastore method executes through ds.reader(ctx) at lines 124-142, whereas status changes are
written through ds.writer(ctx) at lines 101-113; cron passes an ordinary context at lines
3920-3924 while the enrolling-host path explicitly uses a primary context at lines 3814-3817.

## Issue description
The Windows user-context gate makes delivery decisions using a replica-backed enrollment query. Replica lag can expose an obsolete signed-in state and release user-scoped commands after the device has reported that no usable user is signed in.
## Issue Context
Login status is written through the datastore writer, but `GetMDMWindowsUserContextByHostUUID` uses `ds.reader(ctx)`. The enrolling-host path explicitly requires the primary, while the cron reconciliation path passes its ordinary context.

4. UTF-8 validity not guaranteed 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
pkg/str.TruncateBytes only backs up to a rune-start byte, which does not ensure the truncated prefix
is valid UTF-8 if the input contains invalid byte sequences; TruncateErrorResponse now relies on
this helper. Callers pass raw HTTP response bytes converted to string, so invalid UTF-8 can
propagate despite the function’s “always valid UTF-8” contract.
Code

pkg/str/str.go[R27-30]

+	for cut > 0 && !utf8.RuneStart(s[cut]) {
+		cut--
+	}
+	return s[:cut] + marker
Evidence
The helper’s comment asserts the result is always valid UTF-8, but the implementation only checks
for continuation bytes at the cut point and never verifies utf8.ValidString on the truncated
prefix. Existing callers build the input from raw HTTP response bytes via string(bodyBytes) and
rely on truncation to produce safe, displayable content.

pkg/str/str.go[9-41]
server/service/conditional_access_microsoft_proxy/conditional_access_microsoft_proxy.go[315-322]
server/service/externalsvc/jira.go[92-98]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`TruncateBytes` claims it always returns valid UTF-8, but it only avoids splitting multi-byte runes by checking `utf8.RuneStart`. If the input contains invalid UTF-8 byte sequences, the returned substring can still be invalid. `TruncateErrorResponse` now delegates to `TruncateBytes`, and several call sites pass `string(bodyBytes)` from HTTP responses.
### Issue Context
Some external services can return arbitrary/binary bytes. The previous `TruncateErrorResponse` implementation defensively ensured the truncated string was `utf8.ValidString`.
### Fix Focus Areas
- pkg/str/str.go[9-41]
### Suggested fix
1. After computing `cut` (and adjusting to a rune boundary), additionally ensure the prefix is valid UTF-8:
- While `cut > 0` and `!utf8.ValidString(s[:cut])`, decrement `cut`.
- Return `s[:cut] + marker`.
2. Add a unit test that feeds an invalid UTF-8 string (e.g. `string([]byte{0xff, 0xfe, 'a', 'b'})`) and asserts the result is `utf8.ValidString(result)` and stays within the byte limit.
3. Update the comment to clarify behavior for invalid UTF-8 inputs (either “sanitizes by trimming to valid prefix” or similar).

5. Delete omitted from scope ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
WindowsProfileScopeFromBytes ignores <Delete> commands (both top-level and nested in <Atomic>), so a
profile that targets ./User/... via Delete can be misclassified as device-scoped. That
misclassification can prevent the user-context gate from holding the profile even though the payload
still touches the user channel.
Code

server/fleet/microsoft_mdm.go[R2155-2166]

+	for _, cmd := range cmds {
+		if cmd.XMLName.Local == CmdAtomic {
+			for _, nested := range slices.Concat(cmd.ReplaceCommands, cmd.AddCommands, cmd.ExecCommands) {
+				if targetsUser(nested.GetTargetURI()) {
+					return WindowsProfileScopeUser
+				}
+			}
+			continue
+		}
+		switch cmd.XMLName.Local {
+		case CmdReplace, CmdAdd, CmdExec:
+			if targetsUser(cmd.GetTargetURI()) {
Evidence
The scope classifier (used by the reconciler’s user-context gate) doesn’t consider Delete commands
even though SyncMLCmd supports DeleteCommands, so it can miss user-channel targets expressed via
<Delete>.

server/fleet/microsoft_mdm.go[2127-2169]
server/fleet/microsoft_mdm.go[1172-1200]
server/service/microsoft_mdm.go[3968-3978]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`WindowsProfileScopeFromBytes` is intended to classify a profile as user-scoped if **any** command targets `./User/...`, but it currently only checks Replace/Add/Exec and skips Delete. This can misclassify profiles that include a user-channel `<Delete>` (either top-level or nested in `<Atomic>`), causing the reconciler’s user-scope gate to treat them as device-scoped.
### Issue Context
The reconciler’s user-scope gate (`applyWindowsUserScopeGate`) uses `WindowsProfileScopeFromBytes(contents.SyncML)` to decide whether to hold user-scoped install targets.
### Fix Focus Areas
- server/fleet/microsoft_mdm.go[2127-2171]
- server/service/microsoft_mdm.go[3968-3978]
### What to change
- In the Atomic branch, include `cmd.DeleteCommands` in the nested traversal.
- In the top-level switch, include `CmdDelete` alongside `CmdReplace/CmdAdd/CmdExec`.
- Add a unit test that includes `<Delete><LocURI>./User/...</LocURI></Delete>` (top-level and/or nested in `<Atomic>`) and assert the scope is `WindowsProfileScopeUser`.

Walkthrough

Windows MDM enrollments now record login status and its timestamp. Profile responses classify nested commands, detect user-channel rejection, and truncate stored details by UTF-8 byte length. User-scoped installs and removals are held until the required Windows user context is available, while device-scoped profiles continue through reconciliation. Login-status alerts update enrollment state, and datastore, mock, unit-test, and integration-test coverage supports the new behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 79e5b

This change defers user-scoped Windows profile delivery and adds login-status persistence, but the current head can release the hold prematurely, record a profile version without sending the profile, return invalid text, and leave schema changes behind during rollback. These issues can cause incorrect device configuration or unsafe deployment recovery, so merge should wait for fixes.

Three ways a user-channel write could still slip past the gate or spend the
retry budget, plus one contract the code did not honour:

- UserChannelRejected ignored nested Exec inside an Atomic. That is exactly
  the SCEP shape: a SCEP profile's user-channel write IS the Exec on
  Install/Enroll, so the customer's profile would have burned its retry
  during OOBE despite the exemption. Exec is now scanned, and the failing
  command appears in the failure detail instead of being invisible.

- Scope classification skipped Delete commands, so a profile deleting a
  ./User/... target classified as device-scoped and bypassed the gate.

- Scope was classified before Fleet variables expand, and expansion is plain
  string replacement over the whole profile, so it reaches LocURI text. A
  variable in the scope segment therefore has no statically knowable scope
  and could expand to ./User/... per host. Such a LocURI now classifies as
  user-scoped, which keeps the invariant that classification never
  under-reports user scope. A variable below the scope segment, which is
  every real SCEP profile, still classifies as device-scoped.

- An unrecognized LoginStatus value was ignored, which left a previously
  stored "user" in place and kept the gate delivering on a stale
  observation, contradicting the documented fail-closed behaviour. It now
  clears the observation, so profiles hold until the device reports a value
  Fleet understands.

Also switches the new datastore test to t.Context() per the repo's Go test
guidance.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ASi1gcyEuxcdz9NbXYB2vh
The fail-fast rule for enrollments without a UPN was wrong, and CI caught it:
TestWindowsUserSCEPProfile enrolls programmatically, so its user-scoped SCEP
profile was failed before it was ever sent.

The rule generalized from a single measurement. The device it came from was
a workgroup machine with no Entra, AD, or workplace join and an empty UPN in
its enrollment registry key, so its user-channel writes had no user to
resolve to and returned 500. That says nothing about a fleetd-enrolled host
that IS Entra-joined, whose user channel resolves to the signed-in Entra user
even though its enrollment stores an orbit node key. Those are exactly the
hosts Fleet's shipped user-scoped SCEP solution targets, and gating them
would have failed configurations that work today.

Enrollments without a bound user identity are no longer gated at all; they
deliver as they always have, and a genuine rejection surfaces through the
normal failure path instead of being predicted from the enrollment row. The
hold that fixes #50196 is unchanged: it applies to UPN-backed enrollments
that have not yet reported a signed-in user, which is the Autopilot and
Entra-join-during-OOBE window, and carries no such risk because the worst
case is delayed delivery.

WindowsUserContextCannotArrive becomes WindowsUserContextUnknown, which is
what Fleet actually knows about those enrollments.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ASi1gcyEuxcdz9NbXYB2vh
Two review points from Victor:

- The alert arrives on every management session, and the aggressive poll
  interval is one minute, so writing unconditionally would be an UPDATE per
  host per minute for a value that changes about twice in a host's life. Now
  written only when it differs from the value already loaded on the
  enrollment row, matching how poll_schedule_relaxed and fleetd_sync_capable
  are maintained on the same table. last_login_status_at consequently records
  when the user context last changed, which is the more useful timestamp.

- Removed the migration's test file. The migration only adds two columns, and
  per .claude/rules/fleet-database.md simple migrations that add a table,
  column, or index do not need one.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01ASi1gcyEuxcdz9NbXYB2vh
Main added 20260817080402_NanoCertAuthPerformance, which lands after
20260815121243_AddWindowsMDMEnrollmentLoginStatus. Renamed ours to
20260817220126 so goose does not skip it on a server that has already
applied main's migration.

Regenerated schema.sql, which also resolves the merge conflict there:
the columns are unchanged, only the migration_status_tables ordering
moves.

  • This shape does not prove the profile was never applied. An already-installed user profile that is edited while signed out is also rewritten as an install with NULL status, no command, and this hold detail; if it is then unassigned, this branch deletes its tracking row without sending a Delete, leaving the old version enforced in the user hive. Persist a fresh-install-vs-modify distinction (or conservatively retain/send the removal whenever prior installation cannot be ruled out).
			if windowsRemoveTargetsHeldInstall(row) {
				// Nothing was ever written to the user's hive, so this removal is already true and needs no <Delete>.
				result.droppedRemoveRows = append(result.droppedRemoveRows, &fleet.MDMWindowsProfilePayload{
					ProfileUUID: profUUID,
					HostUUID:    hostUUID,
				})

payload.Checksum is cleared before inspecting the current row, then copy

Suggested change
// UserChannelRejected is set when building this payload from a device response. Transient, never persisted.
// UserChannelRejected is set when Fleet parses a device's SyncML results.
// It becomes true when at least one failed command in the profile targeted a
// user-channel LocURI (canonical prefix User/) and its status code is one of
// an allow-list of "no user context available" rejections that Windows was
// empirically observed to return


// WindowsUserContextState reports what Fleet knows about the enrollment's MDM user context, which decides whether its
// user-scoped profiles are held or delivered.

Rename (to reduce confusion with fleet.WindowsUserContextState) to something like WindowsUserContextStateFromDevice

user-context state directly from enrolled device information.
* Improved detection of failed user-channel commands during device
synchronization.
* Ensured user-scoped profiles remain pending when the required Windows
user context is unavailable.
