  • Adds ProtectionMode and AtomDB::get_protection_mode(). The mode propagates through RedisMongoDB, RemoteAtomDB, RemoteAtomDBPeer, and AdapterDB.
  • Adds ProtectedAtomDB. Unkeyed operations reject access, while keyed operations currently raise “not implemented”. This creates correctness and error-handling risk until authorization and delegation are implemented.
  • RedisMongoDB persists and preserves protection settings. The implementation provides no stated synchronization for protection state, so concurrent access requires review and tests.
  • The wrapper adds virtual dispatch but no stated allocations on hot paths. Rejected operations allocate only if exception handling constructs error data. Future authorization may add CPU and allocation costs.
  • Tests cover protection modes, factory behavior, wrapper rejection and backend delegation, persisted MongoDB configuration, peer propagation, and protected local persistence rejection. Tests do not cover successful keyed operations, concurrent access, or allocation behavior.

Walkthrough

The change adds ProtectionMode to the AtomDB API, implements mode reporting across database backends, adds the ProtectedAtomDB wrapper, updates factory handling, persists MongoDB protection settings, propagates modes through federation, and adds related tests.

Changes

Protection mode and authorization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Protection mode contract and implementations
src/atomdb/AtomDBAPITypes.h, src/atomdb/AtomDB.h, src/atomdb/adapterdb/*, src/atomdb/inmemorydb/*, src/tests/cpp/test_commons/mocks/*
The API defines UNPROTECTED, FORWARD, and PROTECTED. AtomDB implementations and mocks expose get_protection_mode().
Protected database wrapper and factory boundary
src/atomdb/ProtectedAtomDB.*, src/atomdb/AtomDBFactory.*, src/atomdb/BUILD
ProtectedAtomDB adds keyed and unkeyed operation overloads. Unkeyed operations reject access. Keyed operations currently report not implemented. The factory rejects PROTECTED and FORWARD modes while wrapping is disabled.
Persisted protection mode loading
src/atomdb/redis_mongodb/*
RedisMongoDB loads protection mode from the canonical configuration document, validates stored public keys, and preserves the configuration across drop_all().
Federated protection mode propagation
src/atomdb/remotedb/*
Remote peers expose backend modes. RemoteAtomDB reports FORWARD when any peer is protected. Protected and forward-protection local persistence are rejected.
Protection mode and wrapper validation
src/tests/cpp/*
Tests cover wrapper construction, unkeyed-operation rejection, in-memory and persisted modes, factory behavior, and federated mode propagation.
Test target wiring
src/tests/cpp/BUILD
GoogleTest dependencies are updated, test_system_params is added, and the base_proxy_test target is defined.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 53419

The change is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up because the new public API method is missing required Doxygen documentation; this does not indicate a runtime impact but should be corrected for repository API-quality compliance.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title identifies both primary changes: adding ProtectedAtomDB and adding protection-mode reporting. It should use AtomDB::get_protection_mode() instead of Atom::get_protection_mode(), but the intended changes are clear.

Full details: Tests For Behavior Changes

Explanation

Production behavior changes are present under src/, including the new ProtectedAtomDB, ProtectionMode, factory handling, and proxy behavior. The PR also updates multiple C++ tests under src/tests/cpp/, including new protected_atomdb_test.cc and base_proxy_test.cc, plus updates to factory, in-memory, Redis/MongoDB, remote, and system-parameter tests. The condition for passing is met.

Add a brief Doxygen block.

get_protection_mode() is a new public API method, but the declaration has no Doxygen comment. Add a short description above the declaration.

As per coding guidelines, public API methods in C++ headers require brief Doxygen comments.

Inline comments:
In `@src/atomdb/AtomDBFactory.cc`:
- Around line 106-117: Keep AtomDBFactory::wrap_if_protected fail-closed with
wrapping disabled, raising for PROTECTED and FORWARD; handle FORWARD separately
only if federation construction explicitly requires it. In
src/atomdb/AtomDBFactory.cc lines 106-117, clarify the interim behavior and
retain the existing UNPROTECTED passthrough. Update src/atomdb/AtomDBFactory.h
lines 29-32 so create() documents that PROTECTED or FORWARD raises, and lines
43-45 so wrap_if_protected() documents unchanged return for UNPROTECTED and
raising otherwise.

Apply the same fix in `@src/atomdb/AtomDBFactory.cc` around lines 106 - 117.

In `@src/atomdb/ProtectedAtomDB.cc`:
- Around line 182-184: Update ProtectedAtomDB::get_protection_mode() to delegate
to the wrapped backend’s protection-mode value, matching the existing delegation
in allow_nested_indexing() and composite_type_enabled(). Preserve the backend’s
PROTECTED versus FORWARD distinction and ensure AtomDBFactory::wrap_if_protected
can still detect an existing ProtectedAtomDB wrapper.

In `@src/atomdb/redis_mongodb/RedisMongoDB.cc`:
- Around line 1333-1334: Update the configuration lookup around
config_collection.find_one to retrieve the expected document without filtering
protected to true, then validate the field explicitly: map boolean false to
UNPROTECTED, boolean true to PROTECTED, and invoke RAISE_ERROR for a missing or
non-boolean value. Add focused Bazel/gtest coverage for missing, false, true,
and invalid protected field types.
- Around line 1335-1337: The drop_all() reset currently removes the persisted
protection configuration, causing a newly constructed RedisMongoDB to disagree
with the existing instance. Update drop_all() and the protection-mode
persistence flow so the reset preserves the configured mode, or consistently
updates both persisted configuration and in-memory protection_mode according to
the reset contract; add cross-layer Bazel/gtest coverage that calls drop_all()
and verifies a new RedisMongoDB retains the expected mode.

In `@src/atomdb/remotedb/RemoteAtomDBPeer.cc`:
- Around line 32-35: Update RemoteAtomDBPeer’s local_persistence_ validation to
reject every protection mode except UNPROTECTED, including FORWARD, and ensure
ProtectedAtomDB::get_protection_mode() exposes the wrapped persistence’s actual
mode so factory-created protected storage is detected. Add coverage for
factory-created PROTECTED and federated FORWARD local persistence.
- Around line 67-70: Update RemoteAtomDBPeer::get_protection_mode so it
preserves and reports the wrapped ProtectedAtomDB protection state instead of
defaulting to UNPROTECTED; ensure RemoteAtomDB and its factory consequently
select protected remote operations, or explicitly reject protected peers. Add a
federation test covering a ProtectedAtomDB peer.

In `@src/tests/cpp/protected_atomdb_test.cc`:
- Around line 36-50: Update the protection-mode test to construct a
ProtectedAtomDB around the unprotected InMemoryDB and assert
get_protection_mode() returns ProtectionMode::PROTECTED, rather than only
checking the backend’s mode. Keep the existing backend construction while
exercising the wrapper’s reported authorization mode.

Apply the same fix in `@src/tests/cpp/remote_atomdb_test.cc` around lines 888 -
917: The nested federation propagation case belongs in the remote database
tests.

"Federation" is a reserved word in the context of SGBDs. We're not claiming to implement a proper Federation is DAS so we should avoid using this term.
