Overview

What

Reconciliation now mirrors a provider-side endpoint disable onto the notification channel, stamping a channel.provider.disabled.timestamp annotation so the reason is visible.

Why

Svix disables a webhook endpoint on its own after a prolonged delivery failure (endpoint_failure_disable_after, 120 hours by default) and never pushes that decision back to us. OpenMeter's channel row kept reporting disabled: false, so every matching event still fanned out a delivery status that immediately failed with ErrSystemChannelDisabled — one warning line per event, per channel, indefinitely.

This also makes the preceding log-level downgrade (error -> warn) correct rather than merely quieter. Verified against the Svix server source that sending to a disabled endpoint costs nothing: filtered_endpoints drops disabled endpoints before any attempt is scheduled, so there is no HTTP call, no retry backlog, and no penalty.

How

The reconciler already read the provider-side flag in order to fail the delivery status; it just threw the fact away. It now writes that state back onto the channel as well. Re-enabling stays a user action through the regular channel update path, which also re-enables the endpoint at the provider.

Fixes OM-206.

Notes for reviewer

  • The channel is updated through the repository rather than the service on purpose: the service would push the state we just read straight back to the provider.
  • The write-back error is collected alongside the other per-status errors, so a database failure cannot strand the delivery status.
  • Write-back is event-driven, not a sweep — it fires only when an event targets the stale channel. That is deliberate: a per-tick sweep would add a ListWebhooks call per namespace every 15 seconds, and nothing re-enables an endpoint on the Svix side, since Svix is not user-facing.
  • Existing behavior worth knowing: service/channel.go pushes Disabled: channel.Disabled on every channel update, so editing a channel re-enables a provider-disabled endpoint. That is now the intended re-enable path, but it means an unrelated edit also clears the marker.
  • webhook_test.go constructs a lock client that is never exercised — the tests call reconcileWebhookEvent and disableChannelForProvider directly, bypassing the leader lock, while Config.Validate() still requires it non-nil.

Verification

  • POSTGRES_HOST=127.0.0.1 go test ./openmeter/notification/... -count=1 — 60 passed
  • golangci-lint run openmeter/notification/... — 0 issues
  • Mutation-checked: stubbing disableChannelForProvider to return nil fails two of the three new subtests, confirming they detect the regression.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Webhook channels are automatically disabled when their provider reports the backing endpoint as unavailable.
    • The system records provider-based disabling while preserving existing channel configuration.
    • Updating a disabled channel through the API re-enables its endpoint.
  • Bug Fixes

    • In-progress deliveries for disabled webhook channels now fail clearly instead of remaining unresolved.
    • Already-disabled channels are not unnecessarily rewritten.
    • Delivery status processing continues even when channel synchronization encounters an error.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge, with no new actionable issue introduced since the previous review.

Summary

This PR mirrors provider-initiated webhook endpoint disables into OpenMeter’s notification channel state.

  • Adds a conditional repository update that disables an enabled channel without overwriting its other mutable fields.
  • Records the provider-disable timestamp while preserving existing annotations.
  • Finalizes the affected delivery status even if channel write-back fails.
  • Adds PostgreSQL-backed adapter and reconciliation coverage.
  • Documents provider-disable and user-reenable behavior.

Logging these as errors is causing monitoring noise. Warning is more consistent with other "out of sync" scenarios.
…hannel

The webhook provider disables an endpoint on its own after a prolonged delivery failure and never pushes that decision back, so the channel kept reporting itself as enabled while every event through it failed immediately. The reconciler already reads the provider-side flag; write it back onto the channel with an annotation recording when the disable was observed. Re-enabling stays a user action through the regular channel update path, which also re-enables the endpoint at the provider.
Exercise disableChannelForProvider and its reconciler call site against a PostgreSQL-backed repository, faking the provider by embedding the no-op webhook handler so no live Svix server is needed. Covers the delivery status failing alongside the channel disable, the annotation merge preserving existing annotations, and the early return on an already-disabled channel.
Reconciliation now mirrors a Svix-side endpoint disable onto the channel, so the claim that a failed delivery never disables its channel no longer held. Qualify that bullet and describe the write-back, the annotation marking it, and the user-driven re-enable path.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Provider-disabled webhook endpoints now disable matching enabled notification channels through a conditional repository operation. The operation records a timestamp and preserves annotations. Reconciliation finalizes affected deliveries as failed. Tests and documentation cover the behavior.

Changes

Webhook provider reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Channel disable contract
openmeter/notification/channel.go, openmeter/notification/repository.go, openmeter/notification/annotations.go
Adds the validated DisableChannelInput, the ChannelRepository.DisableChannel method, and the provider-disabled timestamp annotation.
Conditional channel disabling
openmeter/notification/adapter/channel.go, openmeter/notification/adapter/channel_test.go
Disables only enabled channels through a conditional update. The adapter updates annotations and leaves already-disabled channels unchanged.
Webhook reconciliation flow
openmeter/notification/eventhandler/webhook.go
Loads channels by models.NamespacedID, preserves annotations, records the provider-disabled timestamp, and finalizes delivery status as failed. Missing channels and rules produce warnings.
Reconciliation integration validation and documentation
openmeter/notification/eventhandler/webhook_test.go, openmeter/notification/README.md
Adds Postgres-backed tests and documents provider endpoint disabling, channel synchronization, and channel update behavior.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 46acf

A concurrent channel update can lose user annotations when provider reconciliation disables the channel. Resolve the stale-write race before merging.

disableChannelForProvider must reject stale provider observations: capture the
channel revision before ListWebhooks, pass it through reconciliation, and
require that revision alongside channeldb.Disabled(false) in DisableChannel’s
conditional update. Advance the revision in UpdateChannel, and treat a no-row
conditional update as a stale observation without disabling the channel.

- Line 282: Update disableChannelForProvider and the
DisableChannelInput/adapter.DisableChannel flow to preserve concurrent
annotation updates: carry the observed annotations or version into the disable
request, condition the write on that observation, and retry conflicts;
alternatively, atomically merge only the provider-disabled timestamp instead of
replacing the full annotation map.

Comment thread openmeter/notification/channel.go
Mirroring a provider-initiated disable through UpdateChannel rewrote every mutable field from a snapshot read moments earlier, so a channel update racing with reconciliation was silently reverted. Add DisableChannel, a single conditional statement that sets only the disabled flag and the annotations and matches only a channel that is still enabled.
