Jinwoo Hong dd9eaa9585 fix(cloud): retry the committed-winner collision codes in relay schema startup (#18553)
* fix(cloud): retry the committed-winner collision codes in relay schema startup

`CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` only checks the name before the catalog inserts, so
the loser of a concurrent CREATE fails in one of two ways depending on timing:
on the catalog unique index (23505, which the startup retry already handled) or,
when the winner has committed by the time the loser reaches TypeCreate /
heap_create_with_catalog, on the name check those routines repeat (42710
duplicate type, 42P07 duplicate relation). The predicate treated the latter as
fatal, so a director could fail startup on a table it was about to find present.

This is what turned `postgres-schema-concurrency-postgres.test.ts` red on main
and on every relay PR (CI's shared runner loses the race more often than a dev
box): a throwaway diagnostic run in CI reported 42710 from TypeCreate and 42P07
from heap_create_with_catalog as the only rejection reasons.

Treat 42710/42P07 as retryable for `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` and 42P07 for
`CREATE [UNIQUE] INDEX IF NOT EXISTS`; every other statement shape still fails
fast. The concurrency test now runs ten rounds and reports the loser's SQLSTATE
instead of a bare boolean.

* chore(cloud): allowlist the RFC 6455 example Sec-WebSocket-Key for upgrade tests

Cloud Verify's Secret scan runs gitleaks over --all refs, so the raw-socket
upgrade test on fix/relay-upgrade-malformed-uri (#18547) trips every cloud PR's
scan until its allowlist reaches main. Land the allowlist here first.

Orca Relay

The relay that connects the Orca mobile app to a desktop host. Phones and desktops never talk to each other directly: each opens an outbound WebSocket to a relay cell, the relay pairs the two sessions, and it splices frames between them. A director assigns hosts to cells and coordinates migrations; cells carry the user connections.

This directory is an independent pnpm workspace inside the Orca monorepo. Run its commands from cloud/, not the repository root. The source is covered by the repository's root MIT license.

Packages

  • packages/relay-contract: the wire contract shared by the relay, the desktop app, and the mobile app (frame shapes, close codes, admission budgets, splice state machine).
  • apps/relay: the relay server. The same image runs as a director or a cell depending on ORCA_RELAY_ROLE.
  • apps/relay-fence-broker: a private, IAM-only service that owns the durable mutation lease, the Terraform checkout, and the narrow Compute mutation used when a registered target is superseded. The workflow that calls it holds read and invoke rights only, never those mutation permissions.
  • apps/relay-ops: the relay operations console and the incident monitor behind pnpm ops:relay, pnpm incident:relay, and pnpm incident:relay-preflight.

Infrastructure and operations

  • infra/terraform: the relay Terraform root. It owns the cells, the director, the shared Cloud SQL instance, DNS, observability, and every GitHub Workload Identity provider the relay workflows authenticate through. backend/ holds the per-environment backend configuration and environments/ the tfvars. Drive it through pnpm infra:init, pnpm infra:plan, and pnpm infra:apply.
  • dev/scripts: the deploy, capacity, admission, rehome, monitoring, and load scripts the workflows call, plus the contract tests that pin each workflow and Terraform surface. Run them with pnpm test.
  • dev/contracts and dev/fixtures: the checked-in data those contract tests read, including the Terraform root partition.
  • docs/: the relay runbooks, capacity-testing guide, incident-monitor reference, and the workflow variable reference in docs/relay-workflows.md.

Workflows

The 24 .github/workflows/cloud-*.yml workflows are the relay's deploy and operate surface: publish and deploy the director, roll GCE cell capacity, operate Asia admission and regional rehoming, prove staging capacity, monitor production, and power staging up and down. .github/actions/cloud-sql-rollout-lease is the compare-and-swap lease that serializes every rollout against the shared Cloud SQL instance.

Every one of them is inert. Each top-level job is gated on vars.ORCA_CLOUD_OPERATIONS_ENABLED == 'true', a repository variable that is unset here, so the two scheduled triggers and every manual dispatch skip without running a step. Only the repository owner, holding the GCP identities these workflows authenticate as, can turn them on.

Cloud Verify is not gated. It builds, typechecks, lints, tests, secret-scans, and validates the relay Terraform on every change under cloud/, and it runs on fork pull requests, so it configures no backend and holds no credential.

What is not here

The terraform-foundation and terraform-apps roots and the API and auth services live in the private stablyai/orca-cloud repository. Scripts and tests that spanned both trees were narrowed to the relay side rather than carrying a dangling reference.

Local development

cd cloud
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm test

pnpm test runs the SQLite-backed suites. Tests that need PostgreSQL run only when ORCA_RELAY_TEST_POSTGRES_URL points at a disposable PostgreSQL 16 or 17 database, for example:

docker run --rm -d --name orca-relay-pg -e POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust \
  -e POSTGRES_DB=orca_relay_test -p 55440:5432 postgres:16-alpine
ORCA_RELAY_TEST_POSTGRES_URL=postgres://postgres@127.0.0.1:55440/orca_relay_test \
  pnpm --filter @orca-cloud/relay test
docker rm -f orca-relay-pg

Configuration is read from environment variables validated in apps/relay/src/config.ts. ORCA_RELAY_ASSIGNMENT_SIGNING_KEY (at least 32 bytes) is the only required value; everything else has a local default.
