mirror_fetch.rs

//! **What `Mirror.Sync` actually does**: one fetch from an upstream, into this
//! box's own storage engine, and one compare-and-swap that moves the
//! references.
//!
//! # There is one client, and two ways to reach a remote
//!
//! [`gunnar_wire::fetch_pack`] is the whole protocol — the advertisement, the
//! `ls-refs`, the want/have negotiation, the sideband demultiplex, the packfile
//! streamed into a [`PackIngest`](gunnar_wire::PackIngest). It takes a
//! `&mut dyn BufRead` and a `&mut dyn Write` and cannot tell what is behind
//! them, which is the seam this module fills twice and only twice:
//!
//! | remote | the pair | who built it |
//! |---|---|---|
//! | `ssh://`, `git+ssh://`, `git@host:path` | a russh channel's two halves | `nornir-git`, through `gunnar_client::connect_upload_pack` — the **same dialler** replication pushes over |
//! | `https://`, `http://` | a buffered request/response adapter | [`crate::mirror_http`] |
//!
//! Neither is a second protocol implementation, and that is the point. A bug in
//! negotiation is one bug, in one file, in `gunnar-wire`.
//!
//! # This module writes the references, and `fetch_pack` deliberately does not
//!
//! `fetch_pack`'s module doc states the rule: it returns a **plan**
//! (`FetchReport::updates`, each entry a name, the old value and the new one)
//! and applies nothing, because applying a whole mirror's plan with no gate, no
//! atomicity across the batch and no way for an operator to see it first is not
//! something a protocol crate should be able to do.
//!
//! So the apply is here, and it is **one [`GitOps::put_refs_cas`]** with the
//! plan's own `old` as every expectation. That is not tidiness:
//!
//! * A mirror is not the only writer. `git push` reaches the same repository
//!   over SSH and over smart HTTP, and a fetch that read a tip, spent four
//!   minutes on the network and then wrote unconditionally would **silently
//!   destroy** whatever landed in between. The `old` in the plan is read from
//!   the same `GitOps::refs()` snapshot the `have` list came from, so the CAS
//!   is checking exactly the value the fetch reasoned about.
//! * A CAS failure is a **FAILED job that names the reference**, never a skip.
//!   "Synced" about a repository where one branch quietly did not move is the
//!   answer that makes a mirror untrustworthy, and it reads identically to a
//!   mirror that worked.
//! * Every edit or none. A half-applied plan leaves the repository at a state
//!   no upstream ever had.
//!
//! # …and the batch goes through branch protection first
//!
//! A mirror moves references, and until 2026-09-11 it was the only writer on
//! this box that moved them without asking [`BranchProtectionGate`]. That is
//! not a smaller version of a push: `Mirror.Sync` needs **Write** and
//! `Policy.SetProtection` needs **Admin**, so a principal who may not configure
//! a protection rule could register a mirror against the repository it protects
//! and have the upstream's tips applied over it — a non-fast-forward onto a ref
//! whose rule says `allow_force_push: false`, applied by the one path that
//! never looked. See [`Protection`] for what is decided here and what is
//! refused as undecidable.
//!
//! # The credential is never in this module's output
//!
//! The value is fetched from the sealed secret store, held for the length of
//! one dial, and never formatted. An SSH key is materialised into a
//! `0600` temporary file because `nornir-git` authenticates from a path and
//! this tree does not fork a second dialler to change that (one implementation); the file is
//! unlinked when the fetch returns, on every path including a panic, because
//! [`tempfile::NamedTempFile`] unlinks on `Drop`. A token becomes an
//! `Authorization` header value inside [`crate::mirror_http`] and nothing else.
//! Errors that mention a URL go through [`scrub`] first.
