Summary

Two stacked features delivering the first phase of the "cluster as a single entity" roadmap: deterministic leader election for ProxySQL Cluster, and cluster-wide stats aggregation into the leader's TSDB. (Originally #6034 + #6037; #6037 has been merged into this branch. Design specs and implementation plans for both are included under docs/superpowers/.)


Part 1 — Cluster leader election

Deliberately not Raft: the cluster stays AP. An operator must always be able to log into any reachable node to repair or dismantle a broken cluster, and 2-node deployments must survive a single failure. Election is computed locally on each node from liveness it already observes; epochs remain the reconciliation mechanism; during partitions the failure modes are bounded to today's semantics (both sides writable) or a safe state (all read-only, one command to override).

  • Liveness: the existing per-peer SELECT GLOBAL_CHECKSUM() poll now records success timestamps and counters per node. No new traffic or threads.
  • Identity: new SELECT GLOBAL_UUID() admin intercept; monitor threads learn peers' UUIDs once per connection. UUID equality is also how a node recognizes its own entry in proxysql_servers.
  • Election: leader = highest-weight alive candidate, lowest-UUID tiebreak (proxysql_servers.weight finally gets semantics). Grace window (admin-cluster_leader_grace_ms) prevents flapping. Evaluated every ~500ms from the Admin main loop. Pure logic in ProxySQL_Cluster_Leader.{h,cpp}, unit-tested in isolation.
  • Read-only steering: admin read-only becomes tri-state AUTO / FORCED_RO / FORCED_RW. With election enabled, followers are effective-RO in AUTO; PROXYSQL READWRITE / PROXYSQL READONLY / new PROXYSQL READONLY AUTO give operators sticky overrides that survive election ticks and admin-variable reloads (partition-recovery escape hatch). Effective-RO also refuses LOAD … TO RUNTIME / SAVE … TO DISK including TO RUN / FROM MEM abbreviations, with an error naming the current leader. Cluster-initiated syncs are unaffected by construction.
  • Observability: stats_proxysql_servers_status finally implemented (per-node liveness, checks, uuid, master flag); Prometheus proxysql_cluster_leader_status, per-node proxysql_servers_alive, proxysql_cluster_leader_changes_total. The canned SELECT @@global.read_only admin response reflects follower state for external HA tooling.

Behavior notes (all tiers, election off)

  • PROXYSQL READONLY/READWRITE no longer mutate the admin-read_only variable (they set the runtime tri-state only).
  • PROXYSQL READONLY (FORCED_RO) now also blocks LOAD … TO RUNTIME / SAVE … TO DISK, closing a long-standing enforcement gap — LOAD … TO RUNTIME is exactly the epoch-bumping operation that creates cluster sync conflicts.

Part 2 — Cluster stats aggregation into the leader's TSDB

The elected leader replicates every cluster node's TSDB samples into a new tsdb_metrics_cluster table via pull + per-node watermark over the existing authenticated admin channel (stats_history.tsdb_metrics is directly queryable peer-to-peer). Every node keeps its local TSDB pipeline untouched — the durable, leader-independent source (7-day retention).

  • Failover backfill is inherent: a new leader's watermarks start at the backfill horizon and pull history straight out of peers' local retention — no gaps in the cluster view.
  • Blips self-heal: fetches are idempotent (INSERT OR IGNORE + PK, inclusive timestamp >= semantics); an unreachable peer just catches up.
  • No new dependencies: no HTTP client, no REST requirement on followers; the version gate guarantees schema match.
  • Aggregator worker thread in the TSDB module, started/stopped on leadership transitions; peers pulled per cycle with cluster credentials (1s connect + 10s read/write timeouts); the leader replicates itself via local INSERT..SELECT for a uniform cluster view.
  • Five tsdb-cluster_* variables (switch, interval, backfill horizon, retention, batch cap). Defaults are provisional placeholders — the E2E emits a storage-sizing diagnostic to inform real tuning before GA.
  • Query surface: node=<host:port> / node=* on /api/tsdb/query (rows carry a node column), new /api/tsdb/nodes (per-node watermark age = aggregation health), aggregator fields on /api/tsdb/status, dashboard node selector.
  • Concurrency hardening: all explicit transactions on the shared statsdb_disk connection serialized via its rwlock (aggregation worker vs sampler/monitor loops).

Testing

  • Unit: cluster_leader_election_unit-t (19 assertions), tsdb_cluster_aggregator_unit-t (11).
  • E2E: test_cluster_leader_election-t (30 assertions) — convergence, follower refusal (SQL + LOAD/SAVE incl. abbreviations), FORCED_RW stickiness, ~2s failover on SIGKILL, leadership retake on rejoin, disabled-mode regression. test_cluster_tsdb_aggregation-t (27 assertions) — 6h synthetic history per node vs 2h backfill horizon: horizon trimming, multi-cycle batch-cap catch-up, exact-count replication (grid arithmetic — any lost sample fails CI), leader-only aggregation, failover backfill of history predating the new leader, strict watermark-resume after rejoin. Both registered in legacy/mysql84/90/95-g5, skip cleanly on non-PROXYSQL31/TSDB builds.
  • Regression: test_cluster_sync-t, test_cluster1-t, test_tsdb_variables-t green; both-tier build matrix (stable tier builds with the feature unenableable — the only #ifdef PROXYSQL31 is the admin-cluster_leader_election registration).
  • Branch is merged with current v3.0 (incl. ed25519 auth and the bounded-formatting campaign); local build + unit + both E2Es re-verified on the merged tree.

Follow-ups (non-blocking, to be filed)

  1. PROXYSQL40 only: plugin-registered LOAD MCP/GENAI VARIABLES TO RUNTIME bypasses the RO gate (plugin-alias dispatch precedes the LOAD/SAVE choke point); not cluster-synced, no epoch risk.
  2. GloAdmin vs GloProxyStats hold two separate SQLite connections to the same stats file — unify or document.
  3. Vendored libhttpserver never URL-decodes GET args (constrains the REST arg surface; dashboard works around it).
  4. TSDB monitor loop holds the stats rwlock across async probe waits (unbounded getaddrinfo edge).
  5. Expose the current admin ro_mode (AUTO vs FORCED_*) via a status surface.
  6. ensure-infras.bash unexported COMPOSE_PROJECT bug on already-running backends.
  7. Replicating hourly rollups for long-horizon cluster trends.

Next roadmap deliverables: distributed quotas (cluster-wide max_connections split by alive-count) and leader-only backend monitoring (separate design round).

Part 3 — TSDB sizing lab (test/tsdb-lab/)

Merged into this branch after the description above was written. The retention defaults in Part 2 were guesses until this existed; now they are arithmetic.

Capture once, expand anywhere. capture.bash stands up a 3-node cluster + backend under variable sysbench load and captures ~10 minutes of real metrics into a committed 395 KB fixture (417 series, 49.5k rows) — real names and label sets matter, because SQLite stores both verbatim in every row, so synthetic fixtures understate storage badly. expand.py then tiles that block into raw/hourly/cluster tiers of a stopped instance's stats DB; measure.py reports bytes/row, file size, rollup catch-up duration and query latency, gated against a committed baseline. CI-tsdb-sizing.yml runs it nightly (dormant until this lands on the default branch).

First full-scale measurement (24h raw / 14d span / 3 nodes — recorded in docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-13-tsdb-sizing-lab-design.md):

Quantity Value
Rows / DB size 28.7M / 6.0 GB (expansion 113 s)
Bytes per row 91.4 raw, 91.4 hourly, 104.4 cluster — 0.0% drift vs the small-profile baseline, i.e. the cost model is scale-invariant
Per-node per-day ~622 MB loaded (417 series) vs ~450 MB idle floor (268 series)
Leader footprint ~7.8 GB, ~2.3x a follower (own tiers + cluster tier)
First downsample pass held the stats write lock ~38.6 s

The last two rows are why tsdb-cluster_retention_days defaults to 1 day, and why chunking the downsample catch-up (#6073) and adding a cluster rollup tier (#6072) are filed as follow-ups rather than hand-waved.

Fidelity is deliberately structural, not analytical: the fixture block repeats, so counters sawtooth at seams. That is sufficient for sizing, replication load and query cost, and it is documented in the tool.

Follow-ups

Filed as issues rather than carried in this PR — see #6075 for the umbrella: #6063 (src/Makefile header deps), #6064 (plugin-alias RO-gate bypass), #6065 (two SQLite connections to one stats file), #6066 (monitor loop lock hold), #6067 (expose ro_mode), #6068 (libhttpserver URL decoding), #6069 (ASAN check-run shape), #6070 (CI artifact retry / simulator timing), #6071 (test group registration), #6072 (cluster rollup tier), #6073 (chunked downsample), #6074 (post-merge nightly validation).

Only call set_ro_mode() when admin_read_only actually changes value, so
routine LOAD ADMIN VARIABLES TO RUNTIME reloads (including automatic
cluster syncs) no longer clobber an operator's PROXYSQL READONLY/READWRITE
override back to AUTO.
…ag and liveness data

Adds a uuid column to the table, a ProxySQL_Cluster_Nodes producer that
reports per-peer master/liveness/checksum-progress data (leader flag
derived from get_leader_info(), liveness from get_last_success_at_us()),
an Admin-side consumer modeled on stats___proxysql_servers_checksums
(same sql_query_global_mutex unlock/relock deadlock-avoidance dance),
and re-enables the three previously-commented interception blocks in
GenericRefreshStatistics.
Spawns a self-contained 3-node ProxySQL cluster on 127.0.0.1
(16062/16072/16082, weights 300/200/100) and verifies: convergence to a
single leader, follower write refusal (SQL + LOAD TO RUNTIME + SAVE TO
DISK), FORCED_RW stickiness across election ticks, leader failover on
SIGKILL, leadership retake on rejoin, and full-RW behavior with election
disabled. Skips (plan 1) on non-PROXYSQL31 builds.

Two harness pitfalls found and fixed during validation:
- spawn_node() must 'exec' the binary from the sh -c wrapper: with the
  output redirections /bin/sh forks instead of exec'ing, so the recorded
  pid was the wrapper and the failover SIGKILL left the node alive
  (making tests 17-19 fail while looking like a ~30s feature stall) and
  the teardown leaked an orphaned node.
- query_refused() mutates 'err', so it must be sequenced before
  err.c_str() in ok() calls (unspecified evaluation order read a stale
  buffer for the diagnostic text).

Registered in groups.json: legacy-g5, mysql84-g5, mysql90-g5, mysql95-g5.
…lica

If a previous test_cluster_sync-t run is aborted (SIGTERM'd container, tool
timeout), the post-waitpid cleanup never runs and a stale
test_cluster_sync_config/proxysql.db survives in the workspace bind mount.
On the next run the replica then ignores test_cluster_sync.cnf entirely
(config-DB precedence, Admin_Bootstrap.cpp) and boots with the empty
proxysql_servers the aborted run last auto-saved
(cluster_proxysql_servers_save_to_disk=true), so it never starts a cluster
peer thread, never pulls from the master, and every sync assertion times
out (the 'reproducible failure' seen during Task 9 verification; there was
no process stall - the replica was idle and healthy).

Delete proxysql.db/proxysql_stats.db before fork(), with a diag() so CI
logs show when a poisoned state was cleaned. Verified: poisoned state
reproduces the exact task-9 failure signature with the old binary, and
passes with this fix; clean run also green.
… LOAD/SAVE gate

The admin alias grammar accepts "... TO RUN" and "... FROM MEM" as
documented abbreviations of "... TO RUNTIME" and "... FROM MEMORY", but
the effective-read-only gate in admin_handler_command_load_or_save() only
matched the full spellings. On an effective-RO cluster follower this let
e.g. "LOAD MYSQL SERVERS TO RUN" bypass the gate and apply to runtime.
Extend the suffix checks to also refuse these two abbreviations, with the
same length-guard/strncasecmp structure as the existing checks. The
allowed families (TO MEMORY/TO MEM, FROM DISK, FROM RUNTIME/FROM RUN) are
unaffected.
…survive admin variable reloads

flush_GENERIC_variables__process__database_to_runtime re-applies every
admin variable on every LOAD ADMIN VARIABLES TO RUNTIME, including
automatic cluster syncs. set_variable("cluster_leader_election", "true")
was calling set_cluster_follower(true) unconditionally, so an already
elected leader got kicked to effective-RO for up to a tick+grace period on
every such reload. Gate the follower flip on the actual false->true (and
false<-true) transition, mirroring the admin-read_only fix in ce06c62.
The GloProxyCluster mirror push stays unconditional since it's idempotent
and must always track the variable. Boot semantics are unchanged: the
variable defaults to false, so the first cnf/db load to "true" is still a
transition and follower(true) still fires at boot.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to a3079

The leader-side TSDB aggregation can omit samples when a batch ends within a repeated timestamp, and its default may enable peer pulls during upgrades without explicit opt-in; unchecked test setup failures can further hide validation problems. The PR should not merge until the replication cursor and default behavior are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Poem

A rabbit checks UUIDs in line,
Then copies metrics, row by row.
Grace periods choose the leader,
Watermarks keep the records whole.
Followers pause their writes,
While failover tests run bright.

P2 Badge Count connection failures in checks_ERR

When a peer is fully unreachable, polling fails in the mysql_real_connect() branch rather than this GLOBAL_CHECKSUM() query branch, so Update_Node_Failure() is never called and stats_proxysql_servers_status.checks_ERR can remain zero throughout the outage. Increment the failure counter for failed connection attempts as well so the newly exposed health statistics accurately reflect the liveness checks.

P2 Badge Retry UUID discovery after a query error

If the first SELECT GLOBAL_UUID() returns an SQL error while the connection remains usable, this query is never retried because UUID discovery only runs during the connection handshake and rc_uuid does not force reconnection. Subsequent checksum polls can therefore succeed indefinitely while the peer retains an empty UUID and is excluded from every election; retry UUID discovery until it succeeds or reconnect after this failure.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-11-cluster-leader-election-design.md`:
- Around line 53-65: Update the liveness/membership section to document the
additional SELECT GLOBAL_UUID() identity exchange performed after a successful
peer connection, and narrow the “No new network traffic” statement to clarify
that no traffic is added beyond the existing liveness poll and required UUID
exchange.
- Around line 181-198: Align the rejoin scenario in the TAP test with the
documented weight ordering: either expect the highest-weight node to retake
leadership after restarting, or revise the planned topology so the old leader
has lower rank. Update the affected step while preserving the no-flapping and
follower-rejoin assertions.

In `@lib/Admin_Handler.cpp`:
- Around line 1421-1459: Extend the effective_read_only guard around is_load,
is_save, and refuse to classify every LOAD/SAVE form that mutates MEMORY,
RUNTIME, or DISK, including FROM DISK, TO MEMORY, FROM CONFIG, TO MEMORY, and
FROM RUNTIME. Reuse the canonical command/alias classification used by the admin
command handling so all configuration-mutating variants are rejected before
execution, while leaving non-mutating forms allowed.

In `@lib/ProxySQL_Admin_Stats.cpp`:
- Around line 1588-1592: Update the bindings for global_version, checks_OK, and
checks_ERR in the surrounding statement1 population code to parse their unsigned
long source values without passing through atoi; preserve the full 64-bit values
when binding them to SQLite with proxy_sqlite3_bind_int64.

In `@lib/ProxySQL_Cluster.cpp`:
- Line 355: Update the peer-monitor failure handling around Update_Node_Failure
so checks_err is incremented exactly once for every unsuccessful monitor cycle,
including mysql_real_connect and initial SELECT @@version failures. Preserve the
existing checksum-query increment but ensure those paths share a single
per-cycle accounting point to avoid double-counting, and keep successful cycles
unchanged.

In `@test/tap/tests/test_cluster_leader_election-t.cpp`:
- Around line 244-248: Remove the row inserted by Q_INSERT on node2 before the
failover sequence, while preserving the existing runtime cleanup. Update the
test flow around the Q_INSERT and subsequent Q_LOAD calls in the forced-write
follower test so the later leader-side Q_INSERT starts with no duplicate
(hostgroup_id, hostname, port) entry.

Learning: In ProxySQL's TAP test suite, resource leaks (e.g., not calling mysql_close() on early return paths) are commonly tolerated because test processes are short-lived and OS frees resources on exit. This pattern applies to all C++ test files under test/tap/tests. When reviewing, recognize this as a project-wide test convention and focus on test correctness and isolation rather than insisting on fixing such leaks in these test files.

Learning: In ProxySQL unit tests under test/tap/tests/unit/, include test_globals.h and test_init.h only for tests that depend on ProxySQL runtime globals/initialization (i.e., tests that exercise components linked against libproxysql.a). For “pure” data-structure/utility tests (e.g., ezoption_parser_unit-t.cpp, gtid_set_unit-t.cpp, gtid_trxid_interval_unit-t.cpp) that do not require runtime globals/initialization, it is correct to omit test_globals.h and test_init.h and instead include only tap.h plus the relevant project header(s).

Learning: When using GitHub-flavored Markdown headings, be aware that an em-dash surrounded by spaces (written as ` — `) affects the generated anchor/slug: GitHub replaces spaces with hyphens and removes non-alphanumeric punctuation, which can produce double hyphens (e.g., `## Foo — bar` → anchor `#foo--bar`, not `#foo-bar`). If you reference these anchors (e.g., internal links), ensure the expected slug matches this behavior.

Learning: When reviewing GitHub-flavored Markdown links/anchors, remember that heading-to-anchor slug generation treats spaces as hyphens and removes punctuation. If a heading contains an em-dash surrounded by spaces (e.g. ` — `), the slugs can legitimately include a double hyphen where the two surrounding space-runs become `-` on either side of the removed em-dash (e.g. `...vocabulary--read...`). Do not flag double-hyphens in anchor links for em-dash-containing headings as errors; they reflect GitHub’s correct slug behavior.

Learning: When reviewing ProxySQL cluster sync code that populates/updates `mysql_servers_v2` (e.g., paths like `pull_mysql_servers_v2_from_peer` and other cluster sync logic), remember that the MySQL server status `SHUNNED_AWS_BGD` is runtime-only: for cluster synchronization it is normalized together with `SHUNNED` to `ONLINE` before values are exposed/checksummed for synchronization. Therefore, during normal cluster sync operation you should not expect case-mismatched or “raw” `SHUNNED`/`SHUNNED_AWS_BGD` strings to reach the `mysql_servers_v2` insert/update path—if they do, treat it as evidence that the normalization step was bypassed or altered (and verify the normalization logic and call flow).

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Delete the forced-write test row before failover.

Line 244 inserts Q_INSERT into node2. Line 248 only reloads runtime. It does not remove the row from mysql_servers.

After node2 becomes leader, Line 262 runs the same Q_INSERT. The duplicate (hostgroup_id, hostname, port) row causes that assertion to fail.

Proposed fix
-		query_ok(a2, Q_LOAD); // cleanup runtime on node2
+		query_ok(a2, Q_DELETE);
+		query_ok(a2, Q_LOAD); // remove the row from runtime on node2

Remove the row inserted by Q_INSERT on node2 before the failover sequence, while
preserving the existing runtime cleanup. Update the test flow around the
Q_INSERT and subsequent Q_LOAD calls in the forced-write follower test so the
later leader-side Q_INSERT starts with no duplicate (hostgroup_id, hostname,
port) entry.

…, retention

Adds the tsdb_metrics_cluster schema (statsdb_disk + statsdb_mem, both
built from tables_defs_statsdb_disk) plus its index, five new
tsdb-cluster_* runtime variables (aggregation, interval,
backfill_hours, retention_days, batch_rows) wired into the existing
positional set_variable/get_variable meta-table dispatch, and a
retention DELETE for the new table in tsdb_retention_cleanup(). Also
updates test_tsdb_variables-t.cpp's hardcoded tsdb-* variable counts
(5 -> 10) to match.

…on shared statsdb_disk; bound peer I/O

Wrap every explicit multi-statement transaction (and the one single-statement
write) on the shared statsdb_disk connection in SQLite3DB::wrlock()/wrunlock():
tsdb_cluster_replicate_self, tsdb_cluster_replicate_peer, tsdb_sampler_loop,
tsdb_monitor_loop. SQLITE_OPEN_FULLMUTEX only serializes individual calls, not
multi-statement transactions, so the worker thread's BEGIN/COMMIT could
otherwise land inside the admin thread's still-open transaction (or vice
versa), producing SQLITE_ERROR on a nested BEGIN or folding batches together.

Also bound the aggregator's peer MySQL connections with a 10s read/write
timeout (MYSQL_OPT_READ_TIMEOUT/MYSQL_OPT_WRITE_TIMEOUT), diverging
deliberately from the cluster monitor's no-timeout convention: this worker is
synchronously pthread_join()'d by the admin thread on leadership loss, so an
unbounded stall talking to an unresponsive peer would wedge the admin thread
(and leader_election_tick with it) for the OS TCP timeout.
…ture

proxysql_servers.hostname is an unconstrained VARCHAR; a schema-legal
hostname containing '&', '=', '#', or a space would corrupt the
/api/tsdb/query URL client-side. Percent-encode every character of
the node value except ':' (which must stay literal since the REST
server's arg parser never URL-decodes).

2268-2298: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a compound cursor for capped replication batches.

The self and peer paths use a timestamp watermark with a batch limit. tsdb_metrics can contain many metric and label rows with the same timestamp, because samples use time(NULL) by default. If a batch ends inside one timestamp, the timestamp watermark cannot advance. The next cycle can re-read the same boundary rows. INSERT OR IGNORE does not make progress, and the remaining samples never reach tsdb_metrics_cluster.

Track (timestamp, metric_name, labels) per node, or drain the complete boundary timestamp before advancing. Add a regression test with tsdb_cluster_batch_rows=1.

Based on the boundary-inclusive, bounded replication contract in the line-range change details.

Learning: In `docs/superpowers/specs/aws-aurora-blue-green/2026-07-31-aurora-bgd-monitor-fsm-design.md`, Aurora BGD normal monitoring refreshes the production membership snapshot while the deployment is `AVAILABLE`. When `SWITCHOVER_INITIATED` is accepted, the monitor freezes the last complete production snapshot for the active switchover because AWS does not permit modifying included DB clusters during that period. The target-membership probe continues, and routing requires a complete target map for the frozen production member set.

Learning: In ProxySQL (lib/ProxySQL_Cluster.cpp and related cluster sync code), the MySQL server status value `SHUNNED_AWS_BGD` is runtime-only. Both `SHUNNED` and `SHUNNED_AWS_BGD` are normalized to `ONLINE` before being exposed/checksummed for cluster synchronization, so case-mismatched or unexpected status strings for these states are not expected to reach the `mysql_servers_v2` insert path (e.g., in `pull_mysql_servers_v2_from_peer`) during normal cluster sync operation.

Learning: When validating GitHub-rendered Markdown in this repository (e.g., links that use heading anchors), account for GitHub slug behavior for headings containing an em-dash (—) surrounded by spaces: GitHub strips the em-dash and converts each surrounding space into a hyphen independently, which can produce a double hyphen (--) in the generated anchor. Therefore, do NOT flag as broken links any anchors whose expected slug contains a double hyphen specifically attributable to an em-dash surrounded by spaces in the source heading. (Example: `...vocabulary — read...` -> `...vocabulary--read...`.)

Learning: When using GitHub-flavored Markdown headings, be aware that an em-dash surrounded by spaces (written as ` — `) affects the generated anchor/slug: GitHub replaces spaces with hyphens and removes non-alphanumeric punctuation, which can produce double hyphens (e.g., `## Foo — bar` → anchor `#foo--bar`, not `#foo-bar`). If you reference these anchors (e.g., internal links), ensure the expected slug matches this behavior.

Learning: When reviewing GitHub-flavored Markdown links/anchors, remember that heading-to-anchor slug generation treats spaces as hyphens and removes punctuation. If a heading contains an em-dash surrounded by spaces (e.g. ` — `), the slugs can legitimately include a double hyphen where the two surrounding space-runs become `-` on either side of the removed em-dash (e.g. `...vocabulary--read...`). Do not flag double-hyphens in anchor links for em-dash-containing headings as errors; they reflect GitHub’s correct slug behavior.

Learning: In ProxySQL's TAP test suite, resource leaks (e.g., not calling mysql_close() on early return paths) are commonly tolerated because test processes are short-lived and OS frees resources on exit. This pattern applies to all C++ test files under test/tap/tests. When reviewing, recognize this as a project-wide test convention and focus on test correctness and isolation rather than insisting on fixing such leaks in these test files.

Do not change an individual entry field, such as `refreshing`, to `std::atomic<bool>` without also establishing valid C++ object construction and destruction for the entry type. `__sync_bool_compare_and_swap` is supported by ProxySQL clang targets and is already used in common code, so it is acceptable for the query-cache soft-TTL refresh claim.

Pure data-structure or utility tests (e.g., ezoption_parser_unit-t.cpp, gtid_set_unit-t.cpp, gtid_trxid_interval_unit-t.cpp) only need tap.h and the relevant project header — omitting test_globals.h and test_init.h is correct and intentional in these cases.

Learning: In lib/MySQL_Session.cpp, MySQL_Session::handler___status_WAITING_CLIENT_DATA___STATE_SLEEP___MYSQL_COM_QUERY_qpo() has an early-return path for query cache hits (GloMyQC->get(...) keyed on client_myds->myconn->userinfo->hash) that occurs before the `__exit_set_destination_hostgroup` label. Any per-query session state mutation driven by qpo (e.g. qpo->destination_schema) that is placed after that label will be skipped entirely on a cache hit. The destination_schema switch (client_myds->myconn->userinfo->set_schemaname) is therefore applied right after the qpo->OK_msg/qpo->error_msg early-return checks (before the __exit_set_destination_hostgroup label and before the locked_on_hostgroup rejection check), not after the hostgroup-lock validation, specifically to avoid this cache-hit bypass. This placement was decided in PR `#5925` (commit 652ffa124) after discussion.

This means the fix/feature does not work when `mysql-query_digests_keep_comment=1` (digest_text contains comments) or `mysql-query_digests=0` (digest_text is unavailable) — these configurations are explicitly excluded from the regression test for `reg_test_5306-show_warnings_with_comment-t`.

Learning: In ProxySQL, the MySQL_Logger and PgSQL_Logger destructors run after all worker threads have been joined during shutdown. The sequence in src/main.cpp is: (1) join all worker threads, (2) call ProxySQL_Main_shutdown_all_modules() which deletes the loggers. Therefore, there is no concurrent thread access during logger destruction, and lock ordering in the destructors cannot cause deadlocks.

When `SWITCHOVER_INITIATED` is accepted, the monitor freezes the last complete production snapshot for the active switchover because AWS does not permit modifying included DB clusters during that period. The target-membership probe continues, and routing requires a complete target map for the frozen production member set.

157-157: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration

Confirm the default for cluster aggregation.

Line 157 sets tsdb_cluster_aggregation to 1. The PR objective states that the feature is disabled by default. On an existing installation with tsdb-enabled=1, the new setting can enable leader peer pulls during upgrade without an explicit cluster-aggregation opt-in. Set the default to 0, or add an upgrade migration and document that enabling tsdb-enabled also enables aggregation.

Based on the PR objective that the feature is disabled by default.


1810-1822: 🎯 Functional Correctness

Reject or document unsupported aggregation for node-scoped queries.

When node is non-empty, this path disables hourly aggregation. A call that supplies both node and aggregation therefore returns raw cluster samples instead of the requested rollup. Implement per-node rollups, or return an explicit unsupported-combination error. Update REST and dashboard callers for the chosen contract.

Based on the node-filtered query behavior described in the PR objectives.

Fix with cubic

- Add return-value assertion to test_tiles_fill_the_window to discriminate wrong stride (34 vs 24 attempted)
- Add test_stride_produces_exact_tile_boundaries to verify exact tile offset patterns
- Add warning when --nodes is used but not yet implemented (Task 2)
- Update README to mark --nodes example as (implemented in Task 2)
- Correct test count (8→9 tests) and improve test descriptions
Add return value assertions to test_one_row_per_series_per_bucket and
test_rows_scale_with_node_count, mirroring Task 1's test_tiles_fill_the_window
pattern. This closes a gap where INSERT OR IGNORE silently absorbs duplicate
attempts caused by stride bugs, allowing COUNT(*)-only tests to pass against
broken implementations.

Verified via bug injection: removed +sample_interval(rows) from expand_cluster
stride, confirmed test fails (102 != 72) while COUNT(*) alone would have passed.
Add capture.bash: spins up a real 3-node ProxySQL leader-election cluster
against the legacy-g5 harness backend, drives 10 minutes of variable-rate
sysbench load (mysql-client fallback if sysbench is absent) through the
elected leader, and dumps its stats_history.tsdb_metrics window into the
committed fixture.

seed-10min.csv.gz: 49,534 rows / 417 series / 5s interval / ~594s span,
404 KB compressed (well under the 2 MB abort limit). Provenance recorded
in seed-10min.README.
capture.bash previously pointed hostgroup 1 at the dbdeployer :3307 GTID
replica -- a separate mysqld from the :3306 writer used for hostgroup 0 --
contradicting the brief's "one backend in two hostgroups" spec. Both
hostgroups now register the same host:port, with a comment warning future
editors off re-introducing the replica split.

The already-committed seed-10min.csv.gz was captured under the old,
two-backend topology; per review, it is not re-captured (hostgroup 1 carried
no traffic under either topology, so series cardinality is unaffected --
only the idle hostgroup-1 connpool series' endpoint label differs).
seed-10min.README documents the deviation.
measure.py opens proxysql_stats.db read-only, reports rows/bytes-per-row
per tier (tsdb_metrics, tsdb_metrics_hour, tsdb_metrics_cluster) via a
portable payload-size proxy plus whole-file size, times a raw last-1h and
an hourly full-span query, and exits non-zero only when a table's
bytes/row drifts beyond --drift-pct (default 25) from baseline.json. A
table missing from the baseline prints NEW and never fails the run.

baseline.json holds real numbers measured by running the local small
profile (--raw-window 1h --span 1d --nodes 3) once, not invented values.

CI-tsdb-sizing.yml runs the same flow nightly (workflow_dispatch +
schedule, not pull_request, per the measurement-not-gate intent): build,
create the schema, expand.py with the bigger 24h/14d/3-node CI profile,
restart ProxySQL and poll tsdb_metrics_hour until the hourly rollup
catch-up stops growing (bounded wait, duration reported), then
measure.py --baseline and upload the report as a job artifact.
Ran the CI profile (--raw-window 24h --span 14d --nodes 3) once end to
end against a release build: 28.7M rows, a 6.0 GB proxysql_stats.db in
113s, and a single first-pass hourly downsample holding wrlock ~38.6s
to catch up a 24h/417-series raw backlog. bytes/row is confirmed
scale-invariant (0.0% drift vs baseline.json).

That DB size is too tight a disk margin for a standard GitHub-hosted
runner on top of the repo build (>1.4 GB), so CI-tsdb-sizing.yml now
uses a smaller --raw-window 4h --span 7d --nodes 3 profile (same
sizing signal, ~1 GB projected) and timeout-minutes is set to 150 from
measured/comparable wall-clock instead of the previous blind 180-guess.
…n hedge

Two Important fixes to the Measured results section and CI workflow:

- Part (b) never stated the leader's combined footprint, only juxtaposing
  the cluster-tier-only projection against a follower's own-tier total
  (reads like a ~35% gap). State it explicitly: leader = own tiers
  (~3.3-3.4 GB) + cluster tier (~4.5 GB) ~= 7.8 GB, ~2.3x a follower — the
  actual capacity-planning number.

- The "resized CI profile has not been run end-to-end" caveat previously
  existed only in the gitignored .superpowers/sdd report. Added the same
  hedge to both tracked files: the spec's CI-adjustment paragraph and the
  CI-tsdb-sizing.yml comments now say plainly that the 4h/7d/3-node
  figures (~1 GB / ~20-30s) are linearly projected from the measured
  24h/14d/3-node run, not independently measured at that size.

Also folds in two minors: reconciles the measured 622.55 MB/day/node
(loaded, 417 series) against the Motivation section's 450 MB/day/node
(idle, 268 series) floor, and relabels the timeout-minutes build term
(120 min) as an analogy from comparable package-build workflows rather
than a measurement — the local `make clean && make` this session ran
only recompiled lib+src (deps/ was already built, make clean doesn't
touch deps/), so it isn't a valid stand-in for a from-scratch CI build.
measure.py's bytes/row gate is fixture-text-determined and blind to both
product-side label growth (invisible until capture.bash is re-run) and
schema/index bloat (page_count inflation with flat payload). Add a second,
complementary gate: the whole-file overhead ratio (page_count*page_size /
summed tier payload), measured 2.17 and confirmed scale-invariant across
the small and full profiles, recorded in baseline.json and drift-checked
the same way as bytes/row. Verified end-to-end on a small local DB: prints
2.193, exits 0 against baseline.json's 2.17, exits 1 against a deliberately
wrong baseline ratio.

Reword the design spec and workflow comment to state precisely what each
gate covers (bytes/row: fixture/tooling consistency; ratio: schema/index
bloat; file size and query timings: reported, not gated), and add a
README "Maintenance" note that catching product-side growth requires
re-running capture.bash and committing a fresh fixture.

Add a README "After merge" checklist (with a pointer from the workflow
comment) for the first-run validation that schedule/workflow_dispatch
can only get post-merge: dispatch once, confirm the 4h/7d profile and
build-time term against real numbers, confirm disk headroom.

Minor doc fixes: fixture has 417 series, not ~2 (that's the unit-test
toy seed); expand_cluster's README entry was missing the `nodes` param
and mislabeled "rollup" (it's raw tiling, fanned out per node); drop
plan-internal "(Task N)" numbering from README prose. Add a code comment
in measure.py explaining the already-existing empty-table-with-baseline
-100%-and-fail behavior is intentional fail-loud, not accidental (no
behavior change).
TSDB sizing lab: real-metric seed capture, duplication tool, measurement
script and nightly CI workflow, plus the first full-scale measurement
results that back the retention defaults in this PR.

💡 Edge Case: parse_duration accepts negative/zero magnitudes silently

expand.py's parse_duration only validates the unit suffix; the magnitude via int(s[:-1]) accepts negatives and zero (e.g. '0h' or '-5h'). A zero/negative --raw-window or --span then silently produces an empty or degenerate expansion instead of erroring. Since an empty-but-present tier is treated as a hard -100% drift FAIL in measure.py, a mistyped duration would surface as a confusing CI drift failure rather than an argument error. Validate the parsed value is > 0 and raise ValueError otherwise.

Reject non-positive durations.:

unit = s[-1]
mult = {"m": 60, "h": 3600, "d": 86400}.get(unit)
if mult is None:
    raise ValueError("bad duration unit in %r (use m/h/d)" % s)
n = int(s[:-1])
if n <= 0:
    raise ValueError("duration must be positive: %r" % s)
return n * mult

- name: Start ProxySQL and wait for hourly rollup catch-up
# tsdb_downsample_metrics() fires once immediately after
# tsdb-enabled is switched on (its internal timer starts at 0), then
# not again for an hour -- so tsdb_metrics_hour grows exactly once
# here as it catches up the raw window we just wrote via expand.py,
# then goes flat. Poll stats_history.tsdb_metrics_hour's row count
# until it holds steady across 3 consecutive samples, bounded so a
# stuck rollup can't hang the job forever.

💡 Edge Case: CI rollup-wait can declare 'stable' before downsample runs

The rollup catch-up loop in CI-tsdb-sizing.yml declares stability after 3 consecutive equal, non-empty row counts (15s). If the first tsdb_downsample pass has not yet grown tsdb_metrics_hour within the first three 5s polls, the loop can lock onto the pre-downsample count that expand.py wrote and record an incorrect catch-up duration / final count. This value is reported-only (never gated), so impact is limited to a misleading diagnostic, but consider requiring the count to first increase past the expanded baseline before accepting stability.

Resolves the lib/Makefile _OBJ_CXX conflict as the union of both sides
(v3.0's MySQL_User_Variables.oo plus this branch's ProxySQL_Cluster_Leader.oo
and TSDB_Cluster_Aggregator.oo) and splits the 882-character single-line
object list into one object per line, so future additions on either side
merge cleanly instead of colliding on one line.

Implements deterministic cluster leader election and cluster-wide TSDB stats aggregation for ProxySQL. Consider addressing the silent acceptance of negative durations in parse_duration and tightening the CI rollup wait condition to prevent premature stability declarations.

Edge Case: atoi() truncates 64-bit columns in servers_status bind

📄 lib/ProxySQL_Admin_Stats.cpp:1585-1592
In stats___proxysql_servers_status(), the uint64 columns global_version (field 4), checks_OK (field 7) and checks_ERR (field 8), and the uint64 weight (field 2) are formatted with %lu in stats_proxysql_servers_status() but bound back using atoi(), which parses into a 32-bit int. Values exceeding INT_MAX (e.g. very large weights or long-running check counters) would be silently truncated/wrapped. Use atoll() for these binds to match the int64 storage, consistent with check_age_us/ping_time_us which already use atoll().

Bug: retention/downsample write statsdb_disk without wrlock, racing agg worker

📄 lib/ProxySQL_Statistics.cpp:1630 📄 lib/ProxySQL_Statistics.cpp:1654-1665
This commit adds a dedicated aggregation worker thread (tsdb_cluster_replicate_self/peer) that opens explicit BEGIN..COMMIT transactions on the shared statsdb_disk connection, and it carefully takes statsdb_disk->wrlock() everywhere else (tsdb_sampler_loop, tsdb_monitor_loop, MySQL_Logger, PgSQL_Logger) precisely so the two threads' transactions can't interleave on the same sqlite3 handle. But tsdb_retention_cleanup() (modified here at lib/ProxySQL_Statistics.cpp:1646-1665) and tsdb_downsample_metrics() (lib/ProxySQL_Statistics.cpp:1630) still issue DELETE / INSERT OR REPLACE via statsdb_disk->execute() with NO wrlock, from the admin main-loop thread. Because they run on a different thread from the worker, a retention DELETE can land inside the worker's open transaction on the shared connection, defeating the isolation invariant the rest of the PR establishes (and skewing the total_changes64-based tsdb_agg_rows_total counter). Wrap these writes in wrlock()/wrunlock() like the other statsdb_disk writers.

Quality: GLOBAL_UUID handler allocates with wrong sizeof type

📄 lib/Admin_Handler.cpp:3857
In the new SELECT GLOBAL_UUID() admin intercept, the length array is allocated as malloc(sizeof(unsigned long *)*1) — the pointer type unsigned long * rather than the value type unsigned long. On common LP64/ILP32 platforms both sizes happen to be equal so there is no actual overflow, but the intent is wrong and would allocate too little if the types ever diverged. Change to sizeof(unsigned long).

Edge Case: 512-byte buffer truncates self-replicate SQL for long hostnames

📄 lib/ProxySQL_Statistics.cpp:2201 📄 lib/ProxySQL_Statistics.cpp:2221-2225
tsdb_cluster_replicate_self() formats the INSERT OR IGNORE ... SELECT into a fixed buf[512] that embeds the escaped node string (hostname:port). As the PR itself notes, proxysql_servers.hostname is an unconstrained VARCHAR; a long hostname makes snprintf silently truncate the statement, producing malformed SQL that fails on execute() and permanently stops self-replication for that node with only a generic SQLite error logged. Use a std::string (like the peer path builds its query) or size the buffer to the escaped node length.

Performance: Losing leadership can block admin main loop up to ~11s on peer I/O

📄 lib/ProxySQL_Statistics.cpp:2122-2128 📄 lib/ProxySQL_Statistics.cpp:2251-2253
tsdb_cluster_aggregation_check() runs on the admin main loop and, when leadership is lost, calls pthread_join() on the worker synchronously. If the worker is inside tsdb_cluster_replicate_peer() at that moment, it can be stalled for up to the 1s connect timeout plus the 10s read/write timeout on an unresponsive peer, blocking the admin main loop — and with it leader_election_tick() and other periodic admin work — for that whole window. This is acknowledged/bounded in the comments, but during a failover the multi-second stall may be undesirable; consider a shorter I/O timeout or checking tsdb_agg_stop more granularly between peers so the join returns faster.

1. 💡 Edge Case: parse_duration accepts negative/zero magnitudes silently

   expand.py's parse_duration only validates the unit suffix; the magnitude via int(s[:-1]) accepts negatives and zero (e.g. '0h' or '-5h'). A zero/negative --raw-window or --span then silently produces an empty or degenerate expansion instead of erroring.

   Fix (Reject non-positive durations.):
   unit = s[-1]
   mult = {"m": 60, "h": 3600, "d": 86400}.get(unit)
   if mult is None:
       raise ValueError("bad duration unit in %r (use m/h/d)" % s)
   n = int(s[:-1])
   if n <= 0:
       raise ValueError("duration must be positive: %r" % s)
   return n * mult

2. 💡 Edge Case: CI rollup-wait can declare 'stable' before downsample runs

   The rollup catch-up loop in CI-tsdb-sizing.yml declares stability after 3 consecutive equal, non-empty row counts (15s). If the first tsdb_downsample pass has not yet grown tsdb_metrics_hour within the first three 5s polls, the loop can lock onto the pre-downsample count that expand.py wrote and record an incorrect catch-up duration / final count. This value is reported-only (never gated), so impact is limited to a misleading diagnostic, but consider requiring the count to first increase past the expanded baseline before accepting stability.
