Prevent wrong codeflow subscription configurations (#5205)

Copilot · premun · dkurepa · web-flow · commit 380c21ee67e5 · 2025-08-27T18:01:36.000+02:00
This PR implements validation to prevent misconfigured VMR codeflow subscriptions that could lead to conflicts and operational issues, while also improving the API design by unifying subscription querying methods. ## Problem Currently, it's possible to create conflicting codeflow subscriptions that can cause problems: 1. **Backflow conflicts**: Multiple VMR→repository subscriptions targeting the same repository branch 2. **Forward flow conflicts**: Multiple repository→VMR subscriptions flowing into the same VMR branch and target directory These misconfigurations can lead to race conditions, merge conflicts, and unexpected behavior in the dependency flow system. ## Solution ### Comprehensive Validation Added validation with a shared service architecture: - **`ICodeflowSubscriptionValidationService`**: Common interface in `Maestro.Common` - **`CodeflowSubscriptionValidationService`**: Single implementation containing all validation logic - **Server-side validation**: SubscriptionsController validates on `Create()` and `UpdateSubscription()` - **Client-side validation**: DARC CLI validates in `AddSubscriptionOperation` and `UpdateSubscriptionOperation` - **Shared base class**: `SubscriptionOperationBase` eliminates duplication between Add/Update operations ### Validation Rules **Backflow subscriptions** (VMR → repository, `sourceDirectory` set): - Only one backflow subscription allowed per target repository + target branch combination **Forward flow subscriptions** (repository → VMR, `targetDirectory` set): - Only one forward flow subscription allowed per VMR repository + VMR branch + target directory combination ### API Improvement Replaced the specific `GetCodeflowSubscriptionsAsync` method with a more generic `GetSubscriptionsAsync` that accepts additional optional parameters: ```csharp Task<IEnumerable<Subscription>> GetSubscriptionsAsync( string sourceRepo = null, string targetRepo = null, int? channelId = null, bool? sourceEnabled = null, // New string sourceDirectory = null, // New string targetDirectory = null); // New ``` This provides a cleaner, more flexible API that supports both general subscription filtering and specific codeflow validation needs without code duplication. ## Error Messages Clear, actionable error messages help users understand and resolve conflicts: ``` A backflow subscription 'abc123' already exists for the same target repository and branch. Only one backflow subscription is allowed per target repository and branch combination. ``` ## Benefits - **Maintainable**: Validation logic exists in one place - **Consistent**: Same validation behavior across all entry points - **Clean API**: Generic subscription querying without method duplication - **No breaking changes**: Existing functionality remains unaffected Fixes #5204.  --- ✨ Let Copilot coding agent [set things up for you](https://github.com/dotnet/arcade-services/issues/new?title=✨+Set+up+Copilot+instructions&body=Configure%20instructions%20for%20this%20repository%20as%20documented%20in%20%5BBest%20practices%20for%20Copilot%20coding%20agent%20in%20your%20repository%5D%28https://gh.io/copilot-coding-agent-tips%29%2E%0A%0A%3COnboard%20this%20repo%3E&assignees=copilot) — coding agent works faster and does higher quality work when set up for your repo. --------- Co-authored-by: copilot-swe-agent[bot] <198982749+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: premun <7013027+premun@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: dkurepa <91743470+dkurepa@users.noreply.github.com>
