feat(api): report truncation and depth limits on read paths by yordis · Pull Request #284 · TrogonStack/atlas

yordis · 2026-10-31T05:16:34Z

Several read paths answered from a capped load without saying so, so a short or empty result was indistinguishable from a complete one.
Impact results could stop at the hop bound with no signal, so callers could not tell a contained blast radius from one cut short.
Exporting a namespace from a cut listing would write partial manifests that look authoritative.
Default chosen for review: impact reports a requested depth of 0 as clamped to the server maximum, since the server chose the bound.
Default chosen for review: the client refuses a namespace export when the listing was truncated and reports it as a validation failure.
Default chosen for review: projections and subgraph extraction fold a cut load into their existing truncated flag instead of adding a second one.

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Changes how clients interpret empty or short listings and impact walks; export now fails where it might have produced partial manifests before, which is safer but behavior-breaking for large namespaces.

Overview
Read paths that use a capped entity snapshot now surface incompleteness instead of implying a full answer. Responses add snapshot_truncated on listing, domain listing, versions, impact, and analysis RPCs; projections and ExtractSubgraph OR that signal into their existing truncated field.

GetImpact no longer treats max_depth = 0 as unlimited—it documents effective_max_depth, depth_clamped, and depth_limited when the hop bound hides more graph. The graph walker sets depth_limited when neighbors past the cap were not expanded. ListEntities (and peers) return partial pages with the flag rather than failing with resource exhausted.

The Rust export path aborts namespace export when any listing page reports snapshot_truncated, so manifests are not written from a cut snapshot. Docs and integration tests cover the new contract.

Walkthrough

The change adds snapshot-truncation indicators to read responses and impact-depth details to GetImpact. Server read paths propagate truncation status, impact traversal reports depth limits, and Rust namespace fetches reject truncated listings. Documentation and tests cover these behaviors.

Changes

Read completeness and impact reporting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Read and impact response contracts `proto/trogonatlas/api/eventmodel/v1alpha1/*.proto`, `docs/how-to/assess-change-impact.md`, `docs/how-to/repair-validation-findings.md`, `docs/reference/domain-scoped-listing.md`	Protocol responses add snapshot-truncation fields and impact-depth fields. Documentation explains the new status fields and how to interpret impact results.
Server truncation and depth reporting `rsworkspace/crates/trogon-atlas-server/src/service.rs`, `rsworkspace/crates/trogon-atlas-server/src/graph.rs`, `rsworkspace/crates/trogon-atlas-server/tests/*`, `docs/explanation/validation-coverage.md`	Server read paths return snapshot-truncation status. `GetImpact` reports the effective depth, whether it was clamped, and whether traversal stopped at the depth limit. Tests check truncation and depth-limit outcomes.
Reject truncated namespace exports `rsworkspace/crates/trogon-atlas-client/src/export.rs`, `rsworkspace/crates/trogon-atlas-client/src/openslo.rs`, `rsworkspace/crates/trogon-atlas-client/tests/export_integration.rs`	Namespace fetches return an invalid-input error when the server marks the listing as snapshot-truncated. An integration test verifies rejection when the entity cap is exceeded.

Merge Risk: Low · up to d14bc

The new truncation and depth reporting is mostly sound. The depth-limit flag can occasionally report an incomplete result when it is actually complete, and one documentation step could mislead impact classification. Both are small and worth fixing, but they should not block merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: truncation and depth-limit signals added to read paths. The raw summary confirms snapshot_truncated, effective_max_depth, depth_clamped, and depth_limited across list, impact, projection, and export paths. The title is specific and uses the conventional commit format.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the problems addressed: capped loads hiding truncation, impact results cut at the hop bound, and partial namespace exports. It also lists the review defaults for depth-0 clamping, export rejection on truncated listings, and folding truncation into the existing truncated flag. All of these match the changeset.

The export waits; it will not pretend.

+For each impact node, intersect what it actually uses with the breaking op
+paths. An overlap is broken by the change; no overlap is bump-only. Record the
+entity, depth, path from the root, classification, and the specific diff ops.


Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Do not classify transitive nodes by intersecting them with the root diff.

If a UI slice references an affected read model, its reference paths need not overlap the root event's breaking paths. This instruction would classify the UI slice as bump-only. Lines 79-84 correctly require inspection of the intermediate dependency and an unknown classification for TRANSITIVE_THROUGH_AFFECTED.

Limit this intersection rule to direct dependents. Use the earlier propagation procedure for transitive dependents.

Respect terminal business edges when setting depth_limited.

Consider three schemas with property_relationships R→T, B→R, and B→T. With root R and max_depth=1, the walk emits terminal target T and reaches B through its incoming reference. At B, this check sets depth_limited because T is absent from expanded. However, T is already in the result. A deeper walk returns the same three entities because outgoing business edges do not expand their targets.

Use emitted to check whether a terminal business edge omits a target. Preserve the separate expansion check for nonterminal edges. Add this case to the depth-limit tests.
