# Deferred integration seams

`INTEGRATION-ONLY` and `KNOWN-LIMITATION` are grep-able markers in the Go source.
This file is the index of what each one currently means, so that reading the
unfinished face of the system does not require re-deriving it from 34 comment
sites.

It exists for two reasons. The markers do not all mean the same thing — four
distinct states share them, and "declared, nothing implements it" reads exactly
like "implemented, but its I/O cannot be exercised from this repo". And a marker
outlives the condition it describes: two of them were stale when this index was
first assembled, both claiming as future work something that had already shipped.

The pattern here is the one `internal/updater/doc.go` already uses for its own
package — state the verification boundary in buckets, so a green test suite is not
mistaken for a finished integration. This file is the same idea across the whole
tree.

## The marker collides with a different vocabulary in troubleshooting.md

`docs/troubleshooting.md` uses `[INTEGRATION-ONLY]` for something else, defined in
its own opening at `:19`: the symptom is produced by the kubelet, kaniko or a live
handshake, so it cannot be reproduced from the repository. Those twelve marks say
where a failure comes from. They are not unfinished work and are not indexed below.
A grep across `*.md` and `*.go` returns both sets; only the Go ones are seams.

## Declared, nothing implements it

- `internal/updates/seams.go:32` — `Notifier`. `internal/mail` sends OTP over SMTP,
  but nothing adapts it to this interface and no in-game channel exists. `felis
  update` passes nil deliberately: a human typing the command is the notification.
- `internal/updates/seams.go:43` — `Applier`. Nothing applies an update anywhere. A
  nil applier is not silent — `Run` records `errNoApplier` against every planned
  apply, so a mis-scheduled apply is loud rather than lost.
- `internal/updater/gatherer_integration.go:22` — the two current-version seams
  `NewSysGatherer` leaves nil, for the in-cluster path: the k8s read of the
  control-plane Deployment image, and the Velocity jar inspection. Both are answered
  on the host path (see "Built" below), so this gap is specific to a caller that has
  a cluster client instead of the node.
- `internal/api/handlers_updates.go:21,28` — the maintenance window persists and the
  API serves it, but the in-cluster CronJob that would hand a real window to a runner
  does not exist. `felis update` runs with a zero window, under which every
  `Scheduled` component degrades to a notify, so no path can currently claim an
  apply is under way.
- `internal/submit/blobstore.go:40` — the uploads PVC is mounted into felis-api but
  not into the Kaniko build Pod, so a submitted context is durable at the derived
  location without yet being readable by the build that consumes it.

## Built; only its I/O is unverifiable from this repo

Code exists and is unit-tested against fakes. What is missing is a host, a cluster
or a real upstream account to run it against — not an implementation.

- `cmd/felis/tui_edge_apply.go:246,274,295` — the `nft` edge fence, its idempotent
  teardown, and the cloudflared invocation.
- `internal/cfsetup/runner.go:18` and `internal/cfsetup/cfsetup.go:329` — the real
  Cloudflare Tunnel and Access API calls; `internal/cfsetup/cfsetup_test.go:11`
  drives the whole flow through a fake.
- `internal/api/console.go:39`, `internal/api/logstream.go:236`,
  `internal/api/logstream.go:306`, `internal/fileedit/k8sjobs.go:45` — each needs a
  live cluster (RCON, `pods/log` follow, a Job).
- `internal/api/handlers_access.go:170,490` — parsing real vanilla and LuckPerms
  command output.

## Deliberately accepted, not scheduled to close

These are decisions, not backlog. Each names the condition under which it would be
worth revisiting.

- `internal/api/pgrepo.go:281` — the quota check and `ClaimServer` are two statements
  (audit #4 TOCTOU). Closeable only against a real Postgres.
- `internal/api/api.go:671` — `cooldownLimiter` is process-local, so across N api
  replicas a caller could draw up to N OTP codes per window. The intra-replica burst
  is closed; cross-replica bounding needs a shared store, out of scope for a
  single-replica install.
- `internal/submit/submit.go:436` and `internal/submit/submit_test.go:351` — a
  post-CAS `Approve`
  failure leaves a row indistinguishable from the benign case, so `Approve` returns a
  distinct error naming the running build rather than allowing a blind re-drive that
  would double-push. The alternative ordering is worse.
- `cmd/felis/tui_edge_apply.go:246`, second marker on the same site — the fence
  targets nftables. On a firewalld host a reload can flush the standalone table;
  firewalld-native coordination is not handled. A missing `nft` binary fails loud
  rather than leaving the port open.
- `internal/api/handlers_account.go:169` — the reclaim "start fresh vs inherit"
  choice is CODE-ONLY on the Java/Velocity side; the link-status endpoint reports
  link completion only and does not surface it.

## Wired since the marker was written

- `internal/api/handlers_email_otp.go:54,223,227` and `internal/api/api.go:84` —
  SMTP shipped on
  2026-07-20 (`internal/mail`, wired at `cmd/felis/api.go:264`). The nil-`Mailer`
  branch that logs the code server-side is a runtime fallback for an install with no
  `[smtp]` section, not an unbuilt feature. The comments are accurate; the reading
  "Felis cannot send mail" is not.
- `internal/config/config.go:117` — was stale. It described the upload transport as a
  deferred integration after both backends had shipped (`LocalContextStore`,
  `S3ContextStore`, selected in `cmd/felis/api.go` by the shape of the configured
  base). Corrected in the change that added this file; what remains deferred is only
  Kaniko's read, indexed above.
- `internal/updater/doc.go:44` — was stale. Its REMAINING INTEGRATION bullet listed
  the `felis update` CLI and the off-cluster Velocity jar read, both of which exist
  (`cmd/felis/update.go`, `internal/updater/gatherer_host.go`). Corrected in the same
  change; the two nil seams it also names are real and remain above.

## Recorded outside the code

- `deploy/limbo/README.md:139` — no NetworkPolicy locks the minecraft-namespace
  egress or the control-namespace ingress today, which is why the login pod reaches
  `felis-api-internal:8081`. This is a conditional obligation rather than a seam: if
  a future deployment adds either lock, it must also open that path. Spec v4.1 §21
  asks for those policies; `cmd/felis/manifests.go` renders the game-port one.
