WalkthroughThe change rejects delivered empty or whitespace-only strings for numeric configuration fields across standard, public, migration, and secret decoders. Derived defaults now undergo normalization and validation. Invalid observability configuration now fails startup with cleanup. Documentation records the related ADRs and migration guidance. ChangesConfiguration validation and startup handling
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR changes delivered-empty numeric settings from silently becoming zero to failing configuration resolution and makes malformed observability settings abort startup. The current failure path can still leave startup-created resources active when cleanup fails, and an environment-sensitive regression fixture can weaken protection against configuration regressions. Merge should wait for cleanup-error handling and test isolation, with rollout owners aware of the breaking configuration contract. Poem

Preserve cleanup errors on this startup failure path.
Line 137 discards cacheManager.Close() errors. Lines 139-143 call a helper that also discards database and messaging close errors. If cleanup fails, dependencies returns only the observability decode error and can leave startup-created resources active.
Return the cleanup errors with the initialization error, for example through errors.Join. Change the cleanup callback to return an error so the injected test seam preserves the same contract.

Clear KEYSTORE_SECRETMINLENGTH before these YAML-only tests.
loadDeliveredEmptyFixture calls clearEnvironmentVariables, but that helper does not unset KEYSTORE_SECRETMINLENGTH. An ambient value overrides the YAML input because environment variables have higher priority. The empty-string test can then miss the expected error, and the null test can receive a value other than 32.
Add KEYSTORE_SECRETMINLENGTH to the helper's environment-variable list.

koanf keeps a set-but-empty key and mapstructure's WeaklyTypedInput
rewrites "" to 0 for numeric targets, so FOO= -- an empty secretKeyRef,
an envsubst over an unset variable -- decoded as a legal zero. Measured
on main: KEYSTORE_SECRETMINLENGTH= produced *0 and DISABLED the
secret-length floor, because ADR-065's tri-state fills a nil pointer and
the decoder handed it a non-nil pointer to zero.
A decode hook now rejects an empty or whitespace-only string bound to a
numeric target, ahead of the weak coercion, in every seam that decodes
config: buildDecoderConfig (Load), unmarshalDecoderConfig (the public
Config.Unmarshal), migration.decodeSecretConfig (dynamic
DBConfigProvider payloads -- a rotated secret rendering {"port":""}
dialled port 0), and the migration CLI's tenantDecoderConfig. Pruning
empty keys from the koanf tree was rejected: ADR-051's identity check
reads key presence, so dropping them boots the misconfiguration it
exists to catch. time.Duration is exempt; it already failed loudly.
The guard made one pre-existing fail-open reachable from a rendered
value, so this closes it too: observability.* decodes through
Config.Unmarshal, and app swallowed a failure there with one WARN and a
no-op provider -- one bad key for every trace, metric, OTLP log and
migration audit event. initializeObservability now returns an error, and
the section's presence separates the cases: absent keeps the no-op
posture, present-but-undecodable aborts startup. A construction failure
(unreachable collector) stays non-fatal.
Out of scope, filed rather than fixed: the same shape defeats a *bool
tri-state (#1110, CACHE_CRITICAL= turns the cache probe non-critical),
the typed getters still swallow a present-but-empty key (#1111), and the
CLI's decoder mirror is a choice rather than a necessity -- the import
compiles, verified three ways -- which #1109 asks to settle.
For most numeric keys 0 means "use the default", so an empty value was
benign and those deployments were healthy; this turns them into startup
failures deliberately, since the framework cannot tell an intended
default from a template that rendered nothing.
Decision recorded in ADR-074; migration atom C60.15.
Closes #1038
CodeRabbit review on #1112, both findings valid. The CLI's byte-identical copies of the decode hooks were kept in sync by prose alone: the two test suites exercise each copy separately, so a change on one side leaves the other green while the two behave differently -- and a tenants.yaml would then decode under different rules than a framework config. My own security pass reached the same conclusion independently. TestMirroredHooksHaveNotDrifted compares the implementations as source text -- statements only, since the mirror renames the exported hooks and carries its own doc comments -- across all three mirrored functions. It runs in the framework suite, so CI executes it on every framework change. Source comparison rather than a shared behavioural table on purpose: it needs no import, so it does not prejudge #1109, the open decision on whether the CLI keeps mirroring or starts importing. Proven non-vacuous: changing one token in the mirror fails it, restoring passes. ADR-074 also said three seams and then described a fourth two paragraphs later; it now says four and names the CLI's tenantDecoderConfig with the rest.
CodeRabbit (mirror#5), both findings real. The guard read its value with data.(string), which FAILS for a named string type -- type Env string has Kind String but is not a string -- so the guard passed it through and WeaklyTypedInput turned "" into 0. That is the exact class this PR closes, reachable by any consumer whose config field uses a domain type. Now read through reflect, with a regression test that fails on the old assertion and passes on the new read. The CLI's mirrored hook got the identical change, and the drift test added earlier in this branch enforces that they stay identical. Absence of the observability section was inferred from a decode error that never fires: koanf returns nil for a missing key, so an absent section decoded to a zero Config and fell through to construction, leaving the documented no-op branch unreachable. Absence is now decided before decoding, which also makes the decode error unambiguously mean "present but undecodable" -- the case a delivered-empty numeric under observability.* produces. Pinned by a test that overrides the newProvider seam and asserts construction is never reached.
CodeRabbit (mirror#5), two corrections to C60.15's runbook. The atom said an absent secretKeyRef key renders as empty. It does not: with optional: true Kubernetes leaves the variable unset, and with optional: false the container will not start, so only a PRESENT key with an empty payload reaches this rule. The detect step says that now, and the apply step says to fix the stored value rather than the reference. ADR-074 carried the same loose phrasing and is tightened. Both kubectl snippets used grep '=$', which finds only truly empty values and would clear a pod carrying FOO=' ' -- rejected by the same rule, since the guard trims. Both now use grep -E '=[[:space:]]*$'.
CodeRabbit (mirror#5), two findings. The verify step only booted the service and scanned process env, while the atom's scope claims four decode seams. A migration tenant or a dynamic DBConfigProvider tenant resolves configuration later, so a green startup says nothing about either. Verify now names both: go-bricks- migrate info per tenant, and resolving every stored secret payload. The E60 index row described C60.11 twice, the second copy truncated -- damage from my own column-wise conflict resolution, not from main. The row's classification and preflight columns are rebuilt from main's version plus this branch's single C60.15 clause, and the atom count is recomputed from the atoms actually present rather than incremented.
The drift test reads both source files off disk and scans for "\n}\n" to find each function's end. A Windows checkout hands those files back CRLF-terminated, so the terminator never matched and all three subtests failed with "is not terminated" -- the test was platform-dependent rather than drift-dependent, and it passed Linux CI three times before the Windows leg caught it. Line endings are normalized at read time now, and TestFuncBodyReadsCRLFSource feeds the parser CRLF input directly so a regression fails on every platform rather than only on Windows. Verified against genuinely CRLF-terminated file copies, not just a CRLF string: the terminator is found with normalization and missed without.
CodeRabbit found the atom's gate under-covering its own scope. The gate read "any go-bricks variable can reach the process set-but-empty", so a deployment with a clean environment resolved to no-match and skipped the atom entirely — while the same guard still fires on the CLI's tenants.yaml and on a stored DBConfigProvider payload, neither of which an environment sweep can see. The heading, the E60 type cell and the preflight sentence all said "fails startup", which is true only of the two seams that resolve at boot. The gate now names all four seams and states that a clean environment alone is not no-match; the heading and E60 cells say "fails configuration resolution"; and the verify paragraph's arithmetic is fixed — booting exercises the two startup seams, not one of four. Also rewrites TestFuncBodyReadsCRLFSource, which normalized its own fixture before calling funcBody and therefore never exercised readSource's guard: it passed with the ReplaceAll deleted. It now writes a CRLF file, reads it back through readSource, and asserts both the absence of CR and a parseable body. Verified by deleting the guard: the test fails at its own two assertions.

Two follow-ups from CodeRabbit, both in the E60 prose rather than the atom body. The preflight summary was a second copy of a sentence corrected in the atom one commit earlier: it still said a delivered-empty numeric "fails startup" and named "an empty secretKeyRef" as the trigger. Neither is right in general. The CLI's tenants.yaml and a dynamic DBConfigProvider payload fail at first use, not at startup, and the shape that actually bites is a referenced key whose STORED value is empty — a missing key leaves the variable unset or blocks the pod, and never reaches this rule. The same loose secretKeyRef phrase in the E60 table row is corrected too, so the two copies do not drift again. The detect step matched only unquoted FOO=. It missed FOO="" and FOO='' in .env files, and structured empty values in Helm, Kustomize and Compose (value: "", FOO: ''), where no = appears at all — so a deployment carrying exactly the shape this atom is about could grep clean. Both patterns are now given and were run against fixtures covering bare, quoted, whitespace-only and structured empties, confirming they match those and not real values.

Third narrowing of C60.15's detection step, from CodeRabbit. The patterns caught empty quoted strings but not quoted WHITESPACE — FOO=" ", FOO=' ', value: " " — which the guard rejects exactly like an empty one, because it trims before deciding. A deployment carrying that shape grepped clean and concluded no-match, which is the failure direction that matters for a gate. Both patterns now accept whitespace inside the quotes, and both tolerate a trailing comment, which is where a deliberately-blanked value tends to be documented (value: "" # intentionally blank). Neither matches a bare key: with nothing after it — that is YAML null, which is absence and still takes the default, so matching it would send readers at configurations this atom does not change. Verified by extracting both commands from the rendered atom text and running them verbatim, rather than running a retyped copy: bare, double-quoted, single-quoted, quoted-whitespace, whitespace-only and trailing-comment shapes all match, while QUX=5, NAME="hello", PORT: 5432, ZERO: "0" and a bare NULLISH: do not.
