📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change introduces reusable named enums across API schemas and generated Go models. Enum fields now support reference, string, and keyword encodings with shared conversion logic. Runtime validation, natural-model conversion, rendering, and entity construction use enum metadata. Storage models normalize legacy values and preserve typed filesystem and volume-mode values. CLI and controller paths adopt canonical enum values. Tests cover generation, encoding, decoding, validation, rendering, persistence migration, and workflow matching. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR changes enum generation and storage handling, but the current head still fails the repository lint gate and is not merge-ready until that check is fixed. Enum generation can also panic during initialization for invalid keyword values, requiring owner follow-up. ✨ Finishing Touches 💡 1🛠️ Fix failing CI checks 💡

This PR introduces a shared named enum feature to the schema generator, allowing multiple entity types in the same domain to share a single strongly-typed Go enum instead of each declaring its own distinct string type. The motivation — avoiding verbose switch blocks to translate between what were logically identical enum values — is well-founded, and the design is sound.
What the change does, in brief:
- Adds a top-level
enums:section to each schema YAML. Each named enum declares its values and a physical encoding (ref,string, orkeyword). - The generator emits a single canonical Go type (e.g.
RestartPolicy,PortProtocol) and constants (RestartPolicyAlways, etc.) at the top of the generated file. - Individual fields that previously each declared their own concrete type (e.g.
SandboxSpecRestartPolicy,PortProtocolper-component) now use a Go type alias (= RestartPolicy) pointing at the shared type, and keep their own lookup maps with the correct per-field entity IDs. - Old all-caps legacy constants (
SCHEDULABLE,PENDING, etc.) remain as aliases pointing at the new canonical constants, preserving call-site compatibility. SchemaFieldgainsEnum,EnumEncoding, andEnumMembersfields;EnumValue/EnumMemberhelpers cover ref, string, and keyword encodings with explicit backward-compat handling for older schemas that only carriedEnumValues.- The
choices:attribute is fully banned at the schema layer now — validation rejects it; all callers in the YAML files are already migrated toenum:+encoding: ref.
What I checked:
Backward compatibility of stored entities. The PR title says "without changing stored entities", and that holds up. Every existing entity continues to store enum fields as the same entity ref IDs it always did (e.g. dev.miren.compute/status.running). The new canonical constant values are the natural-language strings ("running"), and the per-field FromId/ToId maps still do the same ref↔string translation they always did. No migration of stored data is needed.
choices: ban completeness. The search for choices: in any YAML file comes back empty — every schema file has been migrated.
Validator extension. The new enum-constraint checking in validation.go is added for TypeKeyword and TypeStr in the correct place (after type coercion). The existing TypeRef + TypeEnum paths are unchanged. The exempt predicate is correctly threaded through for update semantics.
Generator validation. validateEnums checks for empty names, empty value lists, duplicate values, name collisions with generated struct names, and requires every enum-typed field to reference a known named enum. That's solid defensive coverage.
Tests. api/core/core_v1alpha/named_enum_test.go verifies that the shared type encodes correctly through two different field paths (with distinct entity IDs). pkg/entity/natural_test.go, pkg/model/enum_test.go, and the generator tests are all extended appropriately.
One small gap worth noting: validateEnums (generator.go lines 359-369) validates that enum-typed fields referencing a named enum also have a valid encoding. But the encoding field only exists on schemaAttr, not on the named enum definition in schemaEnum. If a developer forgets to specify encoding on a field, the validator catches it, which is the right place. The one thing that's currently unchecked is whether the enum type's intrinsic values are consistent with the encoding (e.g., no structural constraint prevents a keyword-encoded enum from having values that wouldn't form valid keywords). This is a minor gap and not a blocker.
Storage schema. api/storage/storage_v1alpha/schema.go is handwritten (not generated) and has been manually updated following the same pattern. The new tests in named_enum_test.go cover the critical encode/decode round-trip.
Overall the implementation is cohesive, the migration is mechanical and consistent across all six API domains, and the tests cover the meaningful invariants. This is ready for human review to merge.

Model enums once per schema so fields that describe the same concept share a Go type and canonical values. Keep ref, string, or keyword physical encoding on each field so stored entities and attribute schemas remain rolling-compatible. Promote existing effective enums, validate membership for every encoding, and normalize legacy persisted enum strings where canonical Go values changed.

Superseded by #1146. We revisited the original enum design and decided to keep membership backed by entity references. The replacement fixes sharing with one member namespace, teaches readers to accept older values, and converges stored entities in the background. That is a different enough design that it deserves a fresh review. |

Our current enum support is built on entity references. For every allowed value, schemagen creates an entity and stores a reference to it. It also creates a different Go type for every field.
That combination produced the disk-provider bug in MIR-940 and led to MIR-942. Two fields can represent the same concept, but converting a value from one field’s Go type to the other leaves the first field’s entity ID intact. The code compiles, but the converted value points to the wrong enum entity.
Not every enum-like field uses references today. Some, including storage filesystem types, are stored as plain strings. Changing those fields to references would change how existing entities are encoded in etcd. Entity values record both their type and their value, so this would be a real data migration rather than a generator-only change.
This PR separates the Go enum we want to use from the way each field is stored. A named enum produces one shared Go type and one set of values. Each field then chooses whether to store those values as a
ref,string, orkeyword. Existing ref fields keep their current entity IDs, while existing string fields remain strings. All three forms carry their allowed values into the schema and use the same membership validation.For new enums,
keywordis the preferred representation. It keeps enum values distinct from free-form strings in the wire format, but does not require a separate entity for every value. Keepingrefandstringas supported representations lets existing fields adopt named enums without first migrating their data.A few old generated enum strings were also persisted outside the entity wire format, in disk state and soft-delete metadata. Those readers now accept the old values, convert them to the new shared values, and save the upgraded form. Runner status parsing accepts both forms during rollout.
Addresses the enum-membership portion of MIR-1239. Required-field constraints and CEL-backed validation remain follow-up work.
Closes MIR-942
