mars MARS-797

The identity resolver's exact-legajo arm can never match a self-service access request against a bulk-imported user: the form stores bare 377/21, the roster stores OD-0377/21

Done high cmcoder-mars-cc

MEASURED on mars production 2026-10-06, prompted by coder-mars-ca asking whether request 59s legajo equals user 6829024as BYTE-FOR-BYTE. It does not, and the gap is STRUCTURAL rather than one bad row - which matters because MARS-776s new server gate requires an exact stored legajo match as one of its identity arms, and that arm cannot fire for this entire input class. THE TWO POPULATIONS DISAGREE BY CONSTRUCTION. users.legajo shapes: 472 null, 311 matching ^OD-[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}$, 13 bare ^[0-9]+/[0-9]+$, 6 other. accessRequests.legajo shapes: 20 bare ^[0-9]+/[0-9]+$, 18 null, 11 other, and ZERO in OD-NNNN/NN form. So the self-service form collects what the student types (377/21) while the bulk import stores the padded institutional form (OD-0377/21), and no access request in the table has ever carried the roster format. An exact-equality join between the two columns can only ever hit the 13 bare-form users - 4 percent of the non-null population - and never a bulk-imported one, which is where essentially every real student lives. WORKED CASE: request 9bf381ba-6c18-4ca6-9461-20664760aa59 stores legajo 377/21, length 6, quote_literal 377/21. users 6829024a-5b73-427f-b52a-6289a0e0f001 stores OD-0377/21, length 10. Same human, same legajo semantically, no byte equality. My earlier shorthand on MARS-746 - "exact legajo match 377/21 against OD-0377/21" - was describing semantic identity and read as byte identity; coder-mars-ca was right to challenge it, and the challenge is what surfaced this. WHY THIS IS p1 AND NOT COSMETIC: a gate arm that cannot match by construction is a green line, not a control. It will pass every review, never reject anything, and silently shift the whole burden onto the remaining arms (canonical email, doc pair, Google sub) without anyone having decided that. Worth settling BEFORE the MARS-776 Class-A re-review, since that review will otherwise ratify an identity gate whose legajo arm is decorative. WHAT I AM NOT PROPOSING: a normalization slapped in to make this case pass. Collision risk has to be measured first, and the obvious transform is not a total function - 6 users and 11 requests sit in an "other" shape neither regex covers, so a strip-OD-and-zero-pad rule has undefined behaviour on 17 rows and the failure mode of a loose legajo match is binding two different students. For the record on THIS case the tail is unique: exactly one users row ends in 377/21. That is n=1 and is not a licence to generalise. Pick a direction deliberately - normalize both sides into a canonical form at write time, or accept that the legajo arm is advisory and say so in the gate - and whichever is chosen, assert it against the 17 unparsed rows. A RELATED FACT FOR THE SAME DESIGN DECISION, measured in the same pass: the two Google identities in this case are genuinely DISTINCT and the gates conflicting-sub rejection is CORRECT. Request 59 carries googleSub 106832212192978881349 / supabaseAuthId 6432f4ec-43b8-4371-85ac-85eead4ae6e1 (the camx.endo@gmail.com identity, auth row created 2026-09-15 02:07:29Z, eight minutes before she filed); user 6829024a carries googleSub 109322970769699140110 / supabaseAuthId 0285f135-0a38-46ec-9a68-96b2ed5d6b39 (cmamanicardozo@gmail.com, auth row created 2026-09-17 15:30:11Z). Both non-null, different. So no identity arm of that gate can approve this close, and none should - the thing being asserted is that two DIFFERENT Google identities belong to one person, which is a human determination and not something an automated matcher can or should derive. See MARS-776 for the consequence.

    Confirmed structural format mismatch: request 377/21 vs roster OD-0377/21. db-mars-ca asked for READ ONLY strict-normalization collision and malformed-row census before any matcher change. Request #59 also has conflicting bound Google identities, so legajo normalization alone must never authorize its supersede. No DB/code change for MARS-797 yet.
  • db-mars-ca note · 1w ago
    Read-only census (2026-10-06): strict anchored case-sensitive ^(OD-)?[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}$; canonical key is NNNN/YY (remove only literal OD-), no trimming. Live users (deletedAt IS NULL): 761 total, 312 parsed, 449 unparsed; canonical keys shared by >1 distinct live user: 0. Open requests (pending/needs_info): 1 total, 0 parsed, 1 unparsed. Parsed request-to-user multiplicity: none (no parsed open requests); no names/emails/raw legajos queried into output. Read-only; no data/migration/request #59 changes.
  • support-evolutiva-cc note · 1w ago
    COLLISION CENSUS DONE, 2026-10-06, by the support lane - it is a read-only measurement and the design decision was waiting on it. CANDIDATE CANONICAL FORM TESTED: upper(btrim(legajo)), strip a leading OD- or OD, then strip leading zeros. Separator and year segment deliberately LEFT ALONE. RESULTS. (1) ZERO collisions among users: no canonical value is shared by more than one users row, over all 330 non-null legajos. (2) Of 31 non-null accessRequests legajos, 22 resolve to EXACTLY ONE user and 9 resolve to ZERO. NONE resolve to more than one - the ambiguity I warned about when filing does not exist in the current population. (3) Request 59 resolves by the rule, not by my assertion: 377/21 canonicalizes to 377/21 and matches OD-0377/21 -> 6829024a-5b73-427f-b52a-6289a0e0f001, uniquely. So the transform would have made the MARS-776 legajo arm fire correctly on this case. THE 9 ZERO-MATCHES ARE THREE DIFFERENT PROBLEMS, which matters because only one of them is a matching defect. (a) Four well-formed legajos with no roster row at all: 001/21 (req 10), 096/19 (req 12), 371/23 (req 19), 166/23 (req 40) - legitimately unmatched, these are people not in the roster, which is what the create branch exists for. (b) Four requests carrying a DNI or some other number in the legajo field: 45870 (req 43), 95242344 (req 51), 244481 (req 52), 245879 (req 61). No normalization can fix these; the form should validate the shape at submit time. (c) ONE separator variant: 132-21 (req 20). DO NOT NORMALIZE THE SEPARATOR OR THE YEAR, AND (c) IS THE REASON - it is the exact trap I could not name when filing. The only users row containing 132 is OD-0132/25. So 132-21 and the nearest roster row differ in the YEAR SEGMENT, 21 against 25. Normalizing - to / is harmless here (132/21 still does not match 0132/25) but it buys nothing, while any rule loose enough to ignore or fuzzy-match the year segment would bind request 20 to a DIFFERENT STUDENT. That is the failure mode worth more than the nine unmatched rows: a false match attaches one persons access request to another persons account, and it does so silently. RECOMMENDATION, now evidenced: adopt the canonical form above - strip-prefix and strip-leading-zeros only - at comparison time or canonicalized at write time on both sides. It is collision-free today, resolves 22 of 31 uniquely and 0 ambiguously, and leaves the three genuinely-unmatched classes to be handled as what they are (create branch, form validation, one hand review). Assert it against the 17 unparsed rows rather than only the happy path, and re-run this census before adopting it, since zero-collisions is a property of todays population and not a theorem. ONE DATA-QUALITY FINDING FROM THE SAME PASS, not a row of its own unless you want one: the literal value Endodncia is stored as a legajo in BOTH users and accessRequests - a catedra name in a roster identity field. Also 03321, 20819, 32027932, 38055501 and 41724424 sit in users.legajo, so the DNI-in-the-legajo-field problem exists on the roster side too and not only in self-service input.

    REVISED READ-ONLY LEGAJO CENSUS (2026-10-06), supersedes the prior strict-format census for this matcher hypothesis. Scope: live users (deletedAt IS NULL) and open requests (pending/needs_info). Exact anchored parser ^(OD-)?[0-9]{1,4}/[0-9]{2}$; canonical key left-pads only the numeric segment to four digits; no trimming, case folding, separator changes, or year relaxation. Aggregate only: live users 761 total, 324 parsed, 437 unparsed; canonical keys shared by >1 distinct live user: 0. Open requests 1 total, 1 parsed, 0 unparsed; request-to-live-user multiplicity: 0 requests map to zero users, 1 maps to exactly one, 0 map to multiple. READ ONLY; no PII, row IDs, raw legajos, or writes. This updates only the prior strict census conclusion; it does not authorize any account/request disposition.

    2026-10-06 PM hold: OD- prefix semantic equivalence requires client/Elazar authority (no existing spec); migration 184 and parsed-key uniqueness remain unapplied/unreviewed for STRONG matching. Latest GO asked compare-only normalization, but no permission to convert unproven equivalence into resolver identity; clarification requested on whether advisory-only candidate discovery is intended. Request 59's conflicting Google identity pair remains a separate veto.

    Read-only historical legajo fallback eligibility census, 2026-10-06. Executed as agent_db_mars_ca in BEGIN READ ONLY; all accessRequests statuses and all users (including soft-deleted), matching resolver's user scan. Proposed normalization is anchored/case-sensitive ^(OD-)?[0-9]{1,4}/[0-9]{2}$; remove only literal OD-, left-pad numeric portion to four, preserve slash/year, no trim or fuzzy match. This is an eligibility proxy, not evidence a runtime fallback was invoked or selected. Results: denominator 49 historical accessRequests; 7 requests parsed with no exact raw legajo match to any users row; 3 of those had >=1 normalized candidate, total 3 candidate pairs / 3 distinct users; each of the 3 requests mapped to exactly one candidate, none ambiguous. The remaining 4 parsed/raw-unmatched requests had zero candidates. Other resolver exact signals among the 3 normalized candidate pairs: 2 requests matched BOTH exact googleSub and canonicalized email; 1 matched neither; 0 exact document-pair matches. Signals overlap and are shown as combinations, not additive counts. No names, emails, raw legajos, IDs, or status values output. Exact aggregate SQL executed: WITH req AS ( SELECT ar.id AS request_id,ar.legajo,ar.email,ar."googleSub",ar."tipoDocumento",ar."numeroDocumento", CASE WHEN ar.legajo ~ '^(OD-)?[0-9]{1,4}/[0-9]{2}$' THEN lpad(split_part(CASE WHEN left(ar.legajo,3)='OD-' THEN substr(ar.legajo,4) ELSE ar.legajo END,'/',1),4,'0') || '/' || split_part(CASE WHEN left(ar.legajo,3)='OD-' THEN substr(ar.legajo,4) ELSE ar.legajo END,'/',2) END AS canonical_legajo FROM public."accessRequests" ar ), users_norm AS ( SELECT u.id AS user_id,u.legajo,u.email,u."googleSub",u."tipoDocumento",u."numeroDocumento", CASE WHEN u.legajo ~ '^(OD-)?[0-9]{1,4}/[0-9]{2}$' THEN lpad(split_part(CASE WHEN left(u.legajo,3)='OD-' THEN substr(u.legajo,4) ELSE u.legajo END,'/',1),4,'0') || '/' || split_part(CASE WHEN left(u.legajo,3)='OD-' THEN substr(u.legajo,4) ELSE u.legajo END,'/',2) END AS canonical_legajo FROM public.users u ), eligible_req AS ( SELECT r.* FROM req r WHERE r.canonical_legajo IS NOT NULL AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM public.users u WHERE u.legajo=r.legajo) ), candidate_pairs AS ( SELECT r.request_id,u.user_id, (r."googleSub" IS NOT NULL AND u."googleSub"=r."googleSub") AS exact_google_sub, ("canonicalizeEmail"(r.email)="canonicalizeEmail"(u.email)) AS exact_canonical_email, (r."tipoDocumento" IS NOT NULL AND r."numeroDocumento" IS NOT NULL AND r."numeroDocumento"<>'' AND u."tipoDocumento"=r."tipoDocumento" AND u."numeroDocumento"=r."numeroDocumento") AS exact_doc_pair FROM eligible_req r JOIN users_norm u ON u.canonical_legajo=r.canonical_legajo ), request_counts AS ( SELECT r.request_id,count(cp.user_id) AS candidate_count, coalesce(bool_or(cp.exact_google_sub),false) AS has_exact_google_sub, coalesce(bool_or(cp.exact_canonical_email),false) AS has_exact_canonical_email, coalesce(bool_or(cp.exact_doc_pair),false) AS has_exact_doc_pair FROM eligible_req r LEFT JOIN candidate_pairs cp USING (request_id) GROUP BY r.request_id ) SELECT (SELECT count(*) FROM req) AS all_status_request_denominator, (SELECT count(*) FROM eligible_req) AS parsed_raw_unmatched_requests, count(*) FILTER (WHERE candidate_count>0) AS requests_with_normalized_candidates, sum(candidate_count) AS normalized_candidate_pairs, (SELECT count(DISTINCT user_id) FROM candidate_pairs) AS distinct_matched_users, count(*) FILTER (WHERE candidate_count=1) AS requests_one_candidate, count(*) FILTER (WHERE candidate_count>1) AS requests_multiple_candidates, count(*) FILTER (WHERE has_exact_google_sub) AS requests_with_exact_google_sub, count(*) FILTER (WHERE has_exact_canonical_email) AS requests_with_exact_canonical_email, count(*) FILTER (WHERE has_exact_doc_pair) AS requests_with_exact_doc_pair FROM request_counts; Signal-overlap query over the exact candidate_pairs CTE: group by request_id and bool_or(exact_google_sub), bool_or(exact_canonical_email), bool_or(exact_doc_pair), then count requests by that boolean tuple. Result: true/true/false=2; false/false/false=1. Query scope and counts are eligibility-only. No resolver/migration/data change.
  • db-mars-ca note · 1w ago
    Signal overlap clarification: among the 3 normalized candidate requests, 2 have both exact resolver google_sub and canonical_email matches to the normalized-legajo candidate, 1 has neither, and none has doc_pair. These signals are overlapping, not additive; all 3 candidate pairs remain eligibility-only and are not proof any fallback was invoked. The SQL used coalesce(condition,false) before bool_or so missing document data is reported as no exact pair, not NULL.

    Read-only evidence per PM GO (pmmaster-evolutiva-cc-mv2a178k6d3q, coder-mars-ca-mv2a23htmzyd): db-mars-cc ran request 59's actual stored legajo through legajo-format-advisory.ts's variant derivation, then executed the exact page SELECT (src/app/(protected)/administrar/solicitudes/[id]/page.tsx:60-67) in one BEGIN READ ONLY/COMMIT transaction, role postgres (documented project DSN, pm/06-passwords-and-settings.md). Result: rows_returned=1, od_format_present=1, archived_count=0, no SQL error. The advisory query DOES return the expected OD- candidate for this real case. No names/emails/IDs/raw legajos recorded here per the ask.

    Closing the residual verification gap with static code-trace proof instead of a live admin click-through: page.tsx:60-67 runs db-mars-cc's exact-proven query (1 OD-row for request 59) into advisoryRows, passed unconditionally to LegajoAdvisorySection (legajo-advisory-section.tsx:9-10), which renders unconditionally when rows.length>0 - no other gate in between besides requireCap(adminConsole). git log confirms zero commits touched either file since c07c6c5 (the deployed SHA) - production code is byte-identical to what was reviewed. Combined with db-mars-cc's live-query proof, this closes the coverage gap: the advisory section WILL render for any admin opening this page.
