Datasources: a PATCH whose new secret fails to connect answers "the new configuration is NOT in force" but saves that secret anyway, so the datasource breaks at the next restart #29879
Description
domain:devx#1 · os-warren · session_01JQwxbWT669ynWFKZjqFyNF
立卡门: ① 产品缺陷，具名落点 + 复现（reach: 公开入口 HTTP PATCH /api/v1/datasources/:name 实测两次错误结果）
业务理由: 管理员轮换外部数据源密码时输错（或粘进了空白），接口明说「旧连接池仍在服务、新配置未生效」，管理员据此以为什么都没变；实际新凭据已存盘、旧凭据被替换，下一次重启数据源就连不上，而能用的旧密码已经不在系统里。不修，一次手误会在之后某次重启时让外部数据源失联，排障还被那句「未生效」带偏。
动手的读者: domain:server 席，packages/services/service-datasource 的 updateDatasource 与 datasource-connection-service.ts 的 reconnect（失败保旧池的那条路径应同时不落新记录或回滚凭据绑定），附 HTTP 层 pin（PATCH 坏密码 → 重启 → /test 仍 ok）。
查重: repo is:issue datasource secret whitespace 25 命中、datasource credential "not in force" 7、datasource PATCH secret 186（均含已关）；最近邻 #28928（空串 secret 覆盖凭据，已关，修复后 "" 现答 400）是同一扇门的另一形状，#28549、#29164 不是本现象。

What happens
PATCH /api/v1/datasources/:name with a new secret that fails to connect (a wrong password, or a whitespace-only value such as " " or "\t\n") answers 200 with status: "error" and a statusReason ending "— the previous configuration's pool was kept and is still the one serving; the new configuration is NOT in force". But the new credential has been stored:
GET /api/v1/meta/datasource/:nameshowsexternal.credentialsRefpointing at a newsys_secrethandle;/teststays ok only because the kept pool still serves;- after a server restart
POST /api/v1/datasources/:name/testanswersok: false, "password authentication failed".
Since #28928, {"secret":""} is refused 400 "Nothing was written"; a whitespace-only value passes that guard, and a wrong non-blank value was never guarded. Admin-only door; no credential is disclosed.
Measured at framework 589049b0 (main, 2026-11-03) on a stock showcase boot from a scratch copy, with a scratch PostgreSQL 16 (scram-sha-256), twice on fresh datasources, plus controls.
Reproduction
- Boot the showcase and a PostgreSQL that requires a password.
- As admin,
POST /api/v1/datasources{"name":"r7pg3","driver":"postgres","schemaMode":"external","external":{},"config":{"host":"127.0.0.1","port":PGPORT,"database":"qa","username":"qa"},"secret":"REALPASSWORD"}→ 201, status ok. PATCH /api/v1/datasources/r7pg3{"secret":"definitely-wrong-pw"}(or" ") → 200,status: "error", statusReason "…the new configuration is NOT in force".GET /api/v1/meta/datasource/r7pg3→external.credentialsRefchanged.POST /api/v1/datasources/r7pg3/test→ ok (old pool).- Restart the server;
POST /api/v1/datasources/r7pg3/test. - Expected: a configuration the answer reports as not in force is not saved; the stored credential binding is the one that is serving, so the restart connects.
- Actual: the restart reads the failed credential:
ok: false, "password authentication failed"; the working credential is gone.
Mechanism (a guess, read at 589049b)
reconnect in packages/services/service-datasource/src/datasource-connection-service.ts keeps the previous pool when the new configuration fails (the stillServingSuffix branch, ~L1108), but by then the update has already persisted the new record and rotated the secret, so the "kept" state exists only in memory. A whitespace-only secret should probably be refused like the empty string (splitSecret, packages/services/service-datasource/src/admin-routes.ts ~L665).
