Owner

Why

docs/runbooks/simulation-fixture-on-a-dev-database.md (#639) seeds the simulation fixture into a Compose or Aspire dev database, but the fixture it produces cannot be driven by k6. Three gaps, all silent:

  • the cast password is hand-chosen ('choose-a-20-char-password') rather than the one tools/simulation/.sim-cast.json carries, so every cast login 401s;
  • the Owner that file names (admin@sim.local) is never created — the runbook's bootstrap-admin prerequisite only requires an Owner at any address;
  • nothing rotates that Owner off MustChangePassword, so MustChangePasswordMiddleware 403s every request the Owner VU makes. With CAPACITY_VUS defaulting to 10 = one VU per cast user, that is a failed run, not a degraded one.

What

A new "Preparing this database for k6" section, covering both the Compose and Aspire forms:

  1. k1 — generate the cast with bootstrap.sh. It starts no container and names no compose project, so it is safe to run for this purpose; only its Simulation__* and SIM_ADMIN_* lines apply to a dev API.
  2. k2 — seed with those values instead of chosen ones (Aspire adds form B's explicit ConnectionStrings__Default, per Developer experience: add an Aspire AppHost for local orchestration and observability #565).
  3. k3bootstrap-admin at the cast file's address, then the login + change-password rotation reset.sh already does.
  4. k4 — raise Login / Refresh / ClientErrors past the production defaults (10/900s, 60/900s, 10/300s). A baseline rep logs in 12 times before it starts, so it otherwise measures the limiter. Set via the API's user-secrets, which the AppHost does not override.
  5. k5 — point BASE_URL at the API.

Plus two things the harness stack hides:

  • The personas write. A k6 run pushes the account past the exact row counts SimulationDataSeeder validates, so the next seed --profile simulation fails closed — the same wipe-only trap as step 1, reached from the other direction.
  • MapFallbackToFile is a no-op in dev (no wwwroot), so k6's staticAssets flow 404s. Documented with both honest options — read the numbers per flow: tag, or copy web/dist in as the Dockerfile does — and a note that src/Cluckwork.Api/wwwroot/ is not git-ignored.

reset.sh and run-baseline.sh stay off-limits against a debug database; the "Not this runbook" bullet is narrowed to say so precisely rather than excluding k6 wholesale.

Verification

Docs only — no code, no tests. Every claim was read off the source rather than recalled:

  • CAPACITY_VUS default CAST_SIZE, WARMUP_VUS default 2 — tools/simulation/k6/baseline.js:137,146
  • farmCode: 'default-farm' hardcoded — tools/simulation/k6/auth.js:87; the slug is set by 20260818235944_AddAccountSlug.cs:41
  • rate-limit defaults — src/Cluckwork.Api/RateLimiting/RateLimitingOptions.cs:23 and appsettings.json
  • the rotation block reproduced by reference — tools/simulation/reset.sh:175-247
  • wwwroot fallback no-op in dev — src/Cluckwork.Api/Program.cs:564; web/distwwwroot in src/Cluckwork.Api/Dockerfile:61
  • LocalPorts:Api default 8080src/Cluckwork.AppHost/appsettings.json

Not drilled. The procedure is assembled from what reset.sh does against the sim stack and what the seeder requires; it has not been run end-to-end against a dev database. The runbook's own Last drilled field stays not recorded.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The runbook documents direct k6 execution against a seeded debug database. It adds credential, Owner, seed, rate-limit, execution, metric, cleanup, and development staticAssets guidance.

Changes

The runbook adds direct k6 commands, API BASE_URL guidance, development staticAssets 404 behavior, metric interpretation, cleanup checks, and end-to-end preparation drills.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e8733

The runbook currently risks making the k6 preparation fail by restoring rate limits before the smoke test, and its wipe guidance is too narrow about other failures that can leave partial data. These bounded instructions should be clarified before merging.

mforce added a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 2, 2026
Two defects in the "Preparing this database for k6" section, both found by
review on #643.

Ordering: the section ran `seed --profile simulation` (k2) before
`bootstrap-admin` (k3). The seed refuses to write a row without an Owner in
the default account (#500), and `bootstrap-admin` is a silent no-op once any
Owner exists (#283) — so as written the seed either fails outright, or an
Owner minted at some other address permanently blocks the `admin@<EmailDomain>`
one the k6 Owner VU logs in as. Swapped the two steps, so the runbook now
matches the order `tools/simulation/reset.sh` uses (bootstrap-admin, rotate,
seed), and said why the order is load-bearing rather than leaving it implicit.

Cleanup: the setup raises `RateLimiting:Login`, `:Refresh` and `:ClientErrors`
to 1,000,000, but the teardown removed only `Login`, leaving two limiters
effectively off in the dev box's user-secrets. Removes all three.

@coderabbitai Both findings are addressed in e81b297.

  1. k6 prep ordering — confirmed real. bootstrap-admin no-ops when an Owner already exists (BootstrapAdminCliCommand.cs:54-58) and seed --profile simulation requires one (fix(seed): seeded audit events carry "(unresolved)" as the actor, now visible on record History columns #500), so the documented order could not work. Swapped k2/k3 to match tools/simulation/reset.sh (bootstrap-admin → rotate → seed), fixed the requirements-table anchor, and stated the constraint in the step.
  2. Rate-limit cleanup — confirmed real. All three remove lines are now present.

Please re-review.

@coderabbitai Round 2 addressed across 8694073 and e09ba0b.

  1. Restart after rate-limit cleanup — confirmed against the code, not just accepted: AddCluckworkRateLimiting binds the section once at registration and passes the ints by value into the policy objects (CluckworkRateLimitingServiceCollectionExtensions.cs:40-41, L114-130), no IOptionsMonitor. Documented, with the real failure named — clean-looking config, limiter still off.
  2. Drill did not cover the k6 path — confirmed, real gap in this PR. Added a second drill on its own scratch database (it cannot share the existing drill's Owner), asserting the two silent failures: Admin already provisioned instead of a temporary password, and auth-smoke.js staying green after cleanup.
  3. Last drilled date — declined. I have not run the drill; writing a date would assert an unobserved pass. Reasoning on the thread.
  4. Full form B drill — declined as out of scope; the k-drill now notes where Aspire diverges instead.

Please re-review.

The runbook seeds the simulation fixture into a Compose or Aspire dev
database, but the fixture it produces cannot be driven by k6: the cast
password is hand-chosen rather than taken from `.env.sim`, the Owner
`.sim-cast.json` names is never created, and nothing rotates it off
`MustChangePassword`, so the Owner VU 403s on every request.

Add a "Preparing this database for k6" section covering both forms:
generate the cast with `bootstrap.sh` (which starts no container and
touches no compose project), seed with those values rather than chosen
ones, create and rotate the Owner, raise the three rate-limit buckets via
the API's user-secrets so they bind under `aspire run` too, then point
`BASE_URL` at the API.

Records two things the harness stack hides: the personas write, so a k6
run pushes the account past the exact counts the seed validates, and
`MapFallbackToFile` is a no-op in dev, so k6's `staticAssets` flow 404s
unless the API is given a `wwwroot`.

`reset.sh` and `run-baseline.sh` remain off-limits against a debug
database; only direct `k6 run` is supported.
Two defects in the "Preparing this database for k6" section, both found by
review on #643.

Ordering: the section ran `seed --profile simulation` (k2) before
`bootstrap-admin` (k3). The seed refuses to write a row without an Owner in
the default account (#500), and `bootstrap-admin` is a silent no-op once any
Owner exists (#283) — so as written the seed either fails outright, or an
Owner minted at some other address permanently blocks the `admin@<EmailDomain>`
one the k6 Owner VU logs in as. Swapped the two steps, so the runbook now
matches the order `tools/simulation/reset.sh` uses (bootstrap-admin, rotate,
seed), and said why the order is load-bearing rather than leaving it implicit.

Cleanup: the setup raises `RateLimiting:Login`, `:Refresh` and `:ClientErrors`
to 1,000,000, but the teardown removed only `Login`, leaving two limiters
effectively off in the dev box's user-secrets. Removes all three.
…ll it

Removing the three `RateLimiting:*:PermitLimit` user-secrets does not restore
the production limits on a running process. `AddCluckworkRateLimiting` binds
the section once at service registration and passes the ints straight into the
`DistributedIpFixedWindowPolicy` instances; nothing re-reads configuration
afterwards. So the runbook's cleanup, followed as written, left a dev box
serving a 1,000,000 login budget off a user-secrets file that no longer
mentions one — clean-looking config, limiter still off. Says so, with the
reference.

Also adds a second drill for the k6 preparation path. The existing drill
covers form A's seed and its recovery arithmetic only, and cannot cover k2:
that step needs an Owner at one specific address on an account that has none,
which is incompatible with the first drill's step 2. The new drill asserts the
two failure modes that are otherwise silent — `Admin already provisioned`
standing in for a created Owner, and a cleanup that does not actually restore
the limiter (auth-smoke must go red on 429s once it does).
The k6 drill's steps 2 and 3 are one-shot verbs, so under Aspire they hit the
Compose database unless given an explicit ConnectionStrings__Default (#565) —
the same trap k2 and k3 already warn about, which the drill repeated without
the warning.
#644 removed the ceiling box from step 2 but left the knobs table in step 4
pointing at it. The runbook now says depth is unbounded in one place and
'see the ceiling above' in another.

Comment thread docs/runbooks/simulation-fixture-on-a-dev-database.md Outdated
Two instances of one mistake, both mine from the previous commit: drill steps
written as shorthand references rather than as commands an operator can run.

Step 1 said `down -v && up -d` "as above", which is not a command. Step 5 ran
`k6 run` with no BASE_URL, which is worse than not running — it defaults to
http://127.0.0.1:8081 (tools/simulation/k6/config.js), the sim stack, so the
drill would have exercised a database this runbook never touches and reported
whatever it found there. Both are now full commands, and step 5 says why the
variable has to be set rather than leaving it to be inferred from k5.

@mforce, re-review complete.

The k6 procedure now creates and rotates the Owner in k2 before it seeds in k3. The requirements-table anchor also points to k2. This matches BootstrapAdminCliCommand, which does not create another Owner when one already exists.

The k4 cleanup block now removes the Login, Refresh, and ClientErrors permit-limit overrides.

Both findings are addressed.

Learning: In `docs/runbooks/simulation-fixture-on-a-dev-database.md`, the k6 preparation drill must use Form B's explicit `ConnectionStrings__Default` for the `bootstrap-admin` and `seed --profile simulation` one-shot verbs when targeting an Aspire database. Otherwise, these verbs resolve the API user-secrets connection string and can operate on the Compose database instead.

Learning: In `docs/runbooks/simulation-fixture-on-a-dev-database.md`, the k6 preparation workflow must run `bootstrap-admin` for `SIM_ADMIN_EMAIL`, rotate the temporary Owner password to `SIM_ADMIN_PASSWORD`, and only then run `seed --profile simulation`. `BootstrapAdminCliCommand` does not create a replacement Owner when the default account already has one, so an Owner at a different email prevents creation of the k6 Owner account.

@coderabbitai Round 3 addressed in e8733fd4.

Note on SHAs: this branch was rebased onto a newer main (picking up #641/#642/#644) between rounds, so the SHAs I cited in earlier replies are orphaned. Mapping: e81b297e8243b3dd, 8694073bfbf21e50, e09ba0ba32b1ecf7. Content is unchanged; only the parents moved. The rebase also brought in #644, which removed the HistoryDays ceiling, so the first drill's step 5 now asserts the post-#638 behaviour.

  1. down -v && up -d not executable — confirmed, mine from the previous round. Fixed.
  2. Second instance you did not flagk6 run in drill steps 5 and 6 had no BASE_URL, which defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8081 (config.js:14), the sim stack. The drill would have passed against the wrong database rather than erroring. Fixed with the full command and the reason.

Please re-review.

Separate rate-limit setup from cleanup in the drill.

The linked k4 section contains both the set commands and the remove commands. If an operator follows the section before step 5, the elevated limits can be removed before auth-smoke.js runs. Step 6 then repeats the cleanup. State that step 4 runs only the three set commands and the restart.

@mforce The Compose reset command is now executable. Drill step 5 now sets BASE_URL explicitly. These corrections address the reported findings.

One issue remains in drill step 6. It says:

BASE_URL=… k6 run …auth-smoke.js

This is still shorthand, not an executable command. It also does not explicitly identify the development API URL. Replace it with the full command from step 5, with the operator’s actual development API URL. This keeps the cleanup check copy-pasteable and prevents an accidental k6 run against the default simulation stack.

Learning: In `docs/runbooks/simulation-fixture-on-a-dev-database.md`, each k6 drill command that runs `auth-smoke.js` must set `BASE_URL` explicitly to the intended development API. `tools/simulation/k6/config.js` defaults `BASE_URL` to `http://127.0.0.1:8081`, which targets the separate simulation stack and can make a drill pass against the wrong database.

@​mforce, re-review complete.

The rate-limit cleanup is correct. The runbook removes all three override keys and requires an API restart. This matches AddCluckworkRateLimiting, which binds RateLimitingOptions once and passes permit limits into the policy constructors by value.

The second drill covers the k6 path on a separate scratch database. It detects both required failure modes:

  • bootstrap-admin returns Admin already provisioned instead of a temporary password when an Owner already exists.
  • auth-smoke.js must fail on 429 responses after rate-limit cleanup and restart.

The explicit BASE_URL command is also correct. config.js defaults to http://127.0.0.1:8081, so an unset value would target the simulation stack.

Keeping Last drilled as not recorded is accurate because the drill has not run. The documented Aspire divergence identifies the two one-shot commands that require Form B’s explicit ConnectionStrings__Default.

I used the existing repository guidance about API restarts after rate-limit changes and explicit BASE_URL values for k6 drills. No unresolved findings remain.

Learning: In `src/Cluckwork.Api/Hosting/CluckworkRateLimitingServiceCollectionExtensions.cs`, `AddCluckworkRateLimiting` reads `RateLimitingOptions` once during service registration and passes permit limits by value into `DistributedIpFixedWindowPolicy` instances. Changes to rate-limit user-secrets require an API restart to take effect.

Learning: In `docs/runbooks/simulation-fixture-on-a-dev-database.md`, the k6 preparation drill must use Form B's explicit `ConnectionStrings__Default` for the `bootstrap-admin` and `seed --profile simulation` one-shot verbs when targeting an Aspire database. Otherwise, these verbs resolve the API user-secrets connection string and can operate on the Compose database instead.

Learning: In `docs/runbooks/simulation-fixture-on-a-dev-database.md`, the k6 preparation workflow must run `bootstrap-admin` for `SIM_ADMIN_EMAIL`, rotate the temporary Owner password to `SIM_ADMIN_PASSWORD`, and only then run `seed --profile simulation`. `BootstrapAdminCliCommand` does not create a replacement Owner when the default account already has one, so an Owner at a different email prevents creation of the k6 Owner account.
