Foundation for the ghost-approval root-cause fix.
Adds ResolveOutcome / MetadataDecision; rewrites ApprovalWorkflowService so
every resolve / consume / timeout / supersede transitions through one
two-phase contract: snapshot → DB UPDATE conditional on status=PENDING →
metadata reconciliation → afterCommit memory mutation. ChatController,
ChannelMessageRouter, and ApprovalController all switch to the workflow;
ApprovalService.resolve / resolveAndConsume / consumeApproved /
cancelStalePending / denyAllByConversation are physically removed so
DB-bypass is no longer reachable at compile time.
Specific fixes:
- recoverFromDb preserves DB pendingId + createdAt (was generating fresh
random ids, breaking every later DB sync)
- effectiveExpireAt = expireAt ?? createdAt + PENDING_TTL: legacy rows
with NULL expireAt no longer resurrect as live PENDING after restart
- markPendingApprovalsResolved flips pendingApproval.status + currentPhase
+ MessageEntity.status atomically (was only flipping the first field;
message.status uses existing completed/stopped, not approved/denied,
to stay within the frontend Message.status union)
- GC scheduler moves to ApprovalWorkflowService; timeouts and overflow
evictions now sync DB + metadata + memory through markTimeout
- DB UPDATE rows=0 returns alreadyResolved (concurrent-resolve safe);
exception propagates so @Transactional rolls back; memory stays untouched
- expireRecoveredRow gates metadata write on DB success (was writing
metadata even when DB update failed, producing the worst-case ghost)
- Mockito JDK 21 agent attach fixed via maven-dependency-plugin properties
+ surefire argLine (no more flaky self-attach across machines)
Tests: 34 new across 4 classes (recovery, resolve, GC, metadata sync).
