What this adds

A test environment can now set SITE_BUILD_DRY_RUN and the external calls a site build makes answer from canned bodies: no network leaves the machine, while the request's subrequest budget still pays for each call exactly as a real one would. The live payment harness uses it to run a plan purchase whose assignment completes — which until now no environment could do, because the sandbox has no Bunny credentials and a real build always died.

The current-system value

The same request that books a paid plan also builds and assigns a site — about 25 external calls inside the webhook that already spent its subrequest budget on the booking. Nothing anywhere could measure whether that request fits inside the edge's 50-call cap. This PR makes the nightly Stripe leg answer that: a green dry-run case means the whole purchase-with-build fits; a build that runs out of calls lands on the owner's log as the incident PR #2398 added, with the counts and the blocked operation in its message. The production routes receiving the change are the ones that already carry that reporting: the payment webhook/return that runs the assignment, the build's provider calls, and the renewal secret push.

How the dry run works

  • One new module (src/shared/builder-dry-run.ts) maps the site-build call surface by URL — the GitHub release lookup and asset download, the Bunny database config/create/read/token, the edge script create, its secrets, the publish, and the pull-zone update — to canned bodies that flow through the real response parsers, so provider contracts stay exercised and no shadow implementation exists.
  • A call outside the mapped surface still runs for real under the flag, so a dry-run environment with no provider credentials fails loudly at the first unmapped call instead of passing silently. The flag also never reads the Bunny key on canned paths.
  • Every Bunny pattern anchors the exact api.bunny.net origin and the path shape its caller builds — a single id segment with no query or fragment, and the bare pull-zone update URL the build issues — so a near-miss URL (another origin, a pull-zone action like addHostname, a deeper path like /databases/7/backups, a query-bearing variant) stays real. Near-miss tests pin that surface.
  • Dry-run sites draw successive ids and carry synthesized values (dry-run-N.invalid addresses) that cannot serve traffic — .invalid is chosen so the dead-ness is readable on every surface that shows it. Documented in docs/env-vars.md as test-only.
  • The flag sits at one boundary shared by every site-build call; the build, the renewal push, and self-update share those call sites, so they dry-run together in a test environment. Flag off, the code paths are byte-identical.

The e2e case

A new live-payments.stripe-plan-dry-run scenario buys three units of a three-month plan through real Stripe Checkout on an app server booted with the flag (its case id sits in DRY_RUN_SITE_BUILD_CASES, the one record that names which cases get the env). The buyer pays, the webhook processes, and the owner then sees the completed assignment: the built-sites page shows the synthesized site assigned with its nine months of credit, the owner's log records no lost assignment, and the system map answers clean. The no-flag case from the parent PR keeps proving the failure mode and its incident.

Trusted vs observed facts

The budget accounting is real: every canned call increments the external subrequest counter with the label a real call would carry, and a budget-exhausted canned call throws the same SubrequestBudgetError at the same point production would. The provider outcome is declared, not observed: a green dry run proves the flow and the budget, never that the provider would succeed. Those stay separate in the contract and in the copy.

Tests

  • test/shared/builder-dry-run.test.ts — the module's own surface: successive synthesized ids, the canned 200 and its bodies, the unmapped-URL fall-through, the budget count and its refusal, and the flag-off pass-through.
  • test/shared/update/dry-run.test.ts — the canned release pinned field-by-field, the offline deploy, and both budget counts whose refusal messages name their operations (a wiped label fails the test).
  • test/shared/bunny-db.test.ts — the canned credentials with an id-derived URL, plus the real request shapes pinned from the live-path stubs (methods, storage region by literal, token body) so a mutated constant cannot match itself.
  • Local end-to-end smoke: the real app boots with the flag and no provider credentials, the owner publishes the tier and plan, a visitor books, and the built-sites page shows the assigned site with its read-only deadline and the log records no incident.

Gates

  • deno task precommit passes in full (typecheck including test files, lint, all seven cpd scans, the suite with coverage at 100%).
  • deno task precommit:mutation passes at a 100% kill rate (361/361, 12 suppressed). Every survivor this branch introduced was killed by a mirror-path assertion; four canned values no parser can observe are recorded as proven equivalents with reasons.
  • Stack note: this branch sits on top of Prove the lost-assignment incident on the live payment harness #2400 (e2e-report-lost-site-assignment) and should merge after it.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an optional site-build dry-run mode for test environments, using canned provider responses while preserving request-budget accounting.
    • Dry-run builds receive synthesized, non-routable site addresses and deterministic deployment data; unsupported requests continue using normal network behavior.
    • Added a Stripe plan purchase scenario covering successful dry-run site assignment, credit application, and incident-free completion.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the environment setting, supported payment scenario, and restriction against production use.

A test environment can now set SITE_BUILD_DRY_RUN: every external
call the site-build surface makes (the GitHub release fetch and asset
download, the Bunny database, the edge script, its secrets, the
publish) answers from a canned body with no network, while the
request's subrequest budget still pays for each call exactly as a
real one would. The canned bodies flow through the real response
parsers, so provider contracts stay exercised. A call outside the
mapped surface still runs for real, so a dry-run environment with no
provider credentials fails loudly at the first unmapped call. Never
set this in production: dry-run sites carry synthesized
dry-run-N.invalid values that cannot serve traffic.

Also lands the live payment case that uses it: the stripe target's
new dry-run plan scenario buys a real three-month plan whose app
server runs with the flag, and asserts the completed assignment — the
built-sites page shows the synthesized site assigned with its nine
months of credit, and the owner's log records no lost assignment.
That absence is the budget proof: a build that ran out of subrequest
calls would land on the log as the E_SITE_ASSIGNMENT incident with the
counts and the blocked call in its message.
The gate runs each changed source file's mirror tests, so the dry-run
assertions live where the gate looks: update.ts's canned release and
its two labeled budget counts in test/shared/update/dry-run.test.ts
(the refusal message names the operation, so a wiped label fails the
test), the canned database credentials and the real request shapes in
bunny-db.test.ts (methods, storage region, and token body pinned by
literal so a mutated constant cannot match itself), and the canned
URL-to-id derivation, token, and successive id counter in the dry-run
module's own suite. Four canned values that no parser or return value
can observe are recorded as proven equivalents, each with its reason.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to da22d

A production misconfiguration could make site builds appear successful while assigning unusable synthetic sites, so the safety guard should be resolved before merge.

Each Bunny pattern now anchors the api.bunny.net origin and the exact
path shape its caller builds, so a near-miss URL stays real and fails
loudly without credentials: another origin that merely ends like
/compute/script or contains /pullzone/<digits>, a pull-zone action the
build never takes (addHostname, setForceSSL), and a database path
deeper than the read endpoint (/databases/7/backups) all pass through
to the network. The near-miss shapes are pinned by tests.

Comment thread src/shared/builder-dry-run.ts Outdated
The dynamic id segments in the dry-run patterns now exclude ? and #,
so a query- or fragment-bearing version of a mapped path passes
through to the real network like every other near miss. Real callers
URL-encode their ids, so no live URL changes shape; the contract is
what the tightening states — only the exact endpoint a caller builds
answers canned.

A note on the merge-risk line above ("the safety guard should be resolved before merge"): that is the production-guard finding the reviewer withdrew on its own thread after seeing the maintainer's recorded decision — point 5 of the approved contract chose documentation-only, and the withdrawal confirms nothing is owed before merge. The last review round over the fix commits reported no actionable comments and the review stands approved. Posting this so a human skimming only the summary sees the guard question is asked and answered, not open.
