The restore paths (RestoreFromRecoveryUnit + the RestoreApp fallback) repopulated
Docker volume tars but NEVER replayed the captured <stack>-<dbtype>.sql dump, so
DB-resident data (e.g. rows in a DB whose data dir is a bind mount) did not come
back — the romm marker round-trip in the audit lost the row.
New appbackup.ImportDump (read-side counterpart to DumpOne) replays a .sql/.sql.gz
into the running DB using the live container's OWN discovered credentials (no env
threading; reuses DiscoveredDB + getMariaDBPassword). backup.reimportDBDumps
orchestrates it AFTER volume restore + stack bring-up, so the logical dump WINS
over any volume-tar copy of the DB (operator-chosen precedence). pg_dump
--clean --if-exists and mariadb-dump (default --add-drop-table) make replay
idempotent; psql ON_ERROR_STOP=1 surfaces real import errors.
Also: volume-restore per-volume failures and DB-import failures now SURFACE (the
restore returns an error) instead of a swallowed WARN, so a failed data restore
cannot read as success.
Tests (restore_db_test.go, injectable discover/import seams): imports when dump+DB
present, failure surfaces, no-dump skips discovery, dump-but-no-matching-DB is a
non-fatal skip. Live DB round-trip to be validated post-deploy.
Restore recreates an app from its on-drive unit + the guest's own secrets,
regenerating nothing. reconcileRestoreSecrets (pure, unit-tested) merges the unit's
non-secret env with secrets recovered from the live app.yaml and FAILS CLOSED if a
data-encrypting key is unrecoverable (refuse — a PBS whole-guest restore is needed —
rather than regenerate and corrupt). Resettable secrets missing → warn + proceed.
- backup: RestoreFromRecoveryUnit (manifest -> recover secrets -> gate -> restore
volumes -> recreate definition + redeploy w/ re-pull); falls back to volume-only.
- seams: RecoverStackSecrets/RecreateStackFromUnit (adapter +encKey),
stacks.RedeployFromEnv. Wired into /backup/restore.
- tests: gate (refuse/proceed/verbatim) + data_key parsing.
Gate + reconcile + data_key parsing unit-tested; capture live-validated (v0.53.1).
Full readable-data e2e vs AdventureLog needs the auth-gated dashboard restore — pending.
