feat: auto-reduce redundant overrides on create and bulk - #1139
mahatoankitkumar wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
WalkthroughAdds workspace-controlled auto-reduction for redundant context overrides. Create and bulk PUT operations report dropped keys or skip redundant writes. Experiment requests disable reduction. Workspace APIs, persistence, Smithy models, and frontend settings expose the new option. ChangesContext auto-reduction

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to Write-time reduction can produce an incorrect final configuration for ordered bulk updates, and deployments using the bootstrap schema may fail workspace operations because the new setting is missing.

Recompute reduction against batch mutations.
This reducer snapshots only the pre-batch configuration. It is not updated while Phase 2 applies the ordered operations.
For example, an existing broad context can supply colour: "red". A batch can PUT a narrower context with the same value and then DELETE the broad context. The PUT becomes a no-op from this snapshot, then the DELETE removes the only stored value. The final configuration resolves differently from the submitted batch.
Reduce each PUT against the logical batch state in operation order, or defer reduction until the transaction has applied preceding mutations. Add a regression test for PUT plus DELETE and PUT plus PUT dependencies.

Clarify when dropped_keys is returned.
When all override keys are redundant, the single-context create endpoint returns 204 No Content without a response body. This text says that redundant keys are always reported in the response. State the 204 behavior explicitly.
Proposed wording
- extra_info="When creating a context, drop any override key that the config already resolves to the same value for that context's own condition. Redundant keys are logged and reported as dropped_keys in the response."
+ extra_info="When creating a context, drop any override key that the config already resolves to the same value for that context's own condition. Redundant keys are logged and returned as dropped_keys when the context is stored. If all keys are redundant, the request returns 204 No Content."📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Keep the Docker bootstrap schema aligned.
db_init.sql creates superposition.workspaces without enable_auto_reduce, while the Diesel model and migration require this column. Docker loads this schema without running Diesel migrations, so workspace operations can fail. Add the column to db_init.sql.

Auto-reduce resolved twice, once per merge strategy, and dropped a key only when both agreed. Resolution uses MERGE, so the REPLACE pass ruled out keys that were genuinely redundant and halved nothing but throughput. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Problem
Redundant overrides are only cleaned up after the fact, by the workspace-wide
PUT /config/reduceendpoint. Nothing stops a redundant override being written inthe first place: you can create a context whose override key already resolves to
that exact value, and it silently adds a row that changes no resolution.
Solution
Auto-reduce at write time. On all context writes (create/updates/patch), resolve the config using the
context's own condition (excluding the context itself) and drop any override key
that already resolves to the submitted value.
dropped_keys, trimmed row stored, return final context + dropped_keys in header.Two design calls worth reviewing:
pick the strategy at resolve time (
x-merge-strategy), so a key that isredundant under one can be load-bearing under the other.
would be the highest-weight exact match and every key would match itself.
Experiment variant contexts are never reduced — their overrides are the variant
definition, and an auto-reduced control variant would come back empty. Guarded two
ways: the
variantIdscheck (same as/config/reduce).Environment variable changes
None.
Pre-deployment activity
Run the migration adding
superposition.workspaces.enable_auto_remove_redundant_overrides(
BOOLEAN NOT NULL DEFAULT FALSE). Default off, so behaviour is unchanged until aworkspace opts in.
Post-deployment activity
N.A.
