Closes #1669

IncrementPlanCurrentStep advanced a plan's ramp with a blind CurrentStep++ that carried no notion of WHICH step was completing, and its caller could not supply one either. A multi-account plan produces one execution per account per ramp step, so retrying two separately-failed accounts of a single step advanced the ramp twice: the plan reported itself a step further along than the commitment it had actually bought, and a later step's purchase silently dropped out of its accounting.

Reproduction, measured before the fix

Real Postgres (testcontainers, all migrations applied), driving the real purchase.Manager through handleExecutePurchase rather than calling the store directly. 4-step weekly plan at CurrentStep = 2, three AWS accounts, A resolves credentials and B and C do not.

event observed CurrentStep commitments bought (cumulative)
start 2 0
step-3 fan-out: A commits, B and C fail 2 1
operator repairs B and C, retries B: succeeds 3 2
retries C: succeeds 4 (should be 3) 3

The pre-fix run then reported RampSchedule.IsComplete() == true and NextExecutionDate == nil after buying 3 of 4 ramp steps.

Correction to the issue's narrative, worth reading before checking this diff against it. Issue #1669 says of the partially-failed fan-out that "the run that does reach execErr == nil increments". It does not. executeMultiAccount returns *multiAccountPartialError when at least one account committed and at least one failed, so executeAndFinalize never reaches updatePlanProgress for the root row, and executeForAccount never calls it at all. The ramp correctly stays at 2 after the fan-out (third row above). Both extra counts come from the two per-account retries. The net defect is exactly as the issue describes, but it has one source rather than two, so a reviewer comparing the issue's step-by-step against this diff will otherwise find a mismatch and assume the diff is wrong. Recorded on the issue as well.

One consequence is also weaker than the issue states: nothing gates execution on CurrentStep, since the scheduler never creates purchase_executions rows and only runs existing ones keyed on scheduled_date. The damage is in the accounting and what it drives, which is why the plan above reports a finished ramp having bought three of four steps.

The fix

CompletePlanStep(ctx, planID, stepNumber) replaces IncrementPlanCurrentStep(ctx, planID), inside the same SELECT ... FOR UPDATE transaction:

  • stepNumber <= 0 rejected before the transaction opens.
  • IsComplete() short-circuits to the write that clears next_execution_date, preserving the invariant from fix(purchases): updatePlanProgress non-atomic read-modify-write (05-L4) #1071.
  • CurrentStep >= stepNumber is a no-op: the step is already counted. This is the second per-account retry, and it is the fix.
  • CurrentStep != stepNumber - 1 is an error, not a jump: the steps between never completed, and advancing over them would overstate what the plan bought.
  • otherwise CurrentStep = stepNumber.

The step is read off the completing execution's own row, never off the plan state that is in doubt. updatePlanProgress now takes the *config.PurchaseExecution, and reports rather than guesses when a plan-attributed row carries a non-positive step.

Migration 000098 is a DATA migration, not a schema change

The filename invites the opposite reading, so stating it plainly: no column is added and there is no schema gap. purchase_executions.step_number has existed since 000001_initial_schema.up.sql:78 as INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 1, and retry successors already propagate it.

What existed was a convention mismatch between two writers. api.createPurchaseExecutionsTx wrote the 1-based step a row would execute (current_step + i + 1); purchase.getOrCreateExecution wrote the COUNT of steps already completed. Harmless while the advance was a blind ++ that never read the column, fatal once it keys on it: an old-convention row completes a step the plan already counted, the new code correctly no-ops, and the ramp freezes. So this PR corrects the writer AND backfills the executable rows already carrying the old convention. Without the backfill, every in-flight plan execution would silently stop advancing its ramp on deploy, which is the same under-buy the PR exists to fix.

The backfill touches only rows that can still execute, and skips any row whose plan and step already has a successful sibling. That second guard matters: a per-account retry successor for a step another account's retry already counted is correctly stamped, and retargeting it would make it buy its own step's tranche while advancing the ramp past the next one.

Mutation matrix

Every guard was verified by mutation rather than argument, recording which assertion each one breaks. Scripted so each case starts from the committed tree.

mutation assertions broken
baseline (none) none, exit 0
restore the blind CurrentStep++ 3 integration tests, all expected: 3, actual: 4, plus 2 of the 7 pgxmock store tests
delete FOR UPDATE from the locking read the concurrent completion's locking read must wait on the plan row lock
delete the migration's whole UPDATE 8, every retarget case
drop the migration's status allowlist exactly 1: a failed row is audit trail and a retry successor's step source; only the status allowlist excludes it
drop the NOT EXISTS sibling guard entirely exactly 2, one per sibling status
drop 'partially_completed' from the sibling list exactly 1: a pending sibling of a partially_completed step must not move either
drop both COALESCEs exactly 1: a plan with no current_step key must be read as step 0, not skipped

The whole-guard mutation breaking 2 while each single-entry mutation breaks 1 is the evidence that no clause masks another. Three review rounds were spent establishing exactly this: two guards that overlap on every fixture verify as one, and a mutation result stops being evidence the moment a neighbouring guard or fixture changes.

Tests

  • internal/purchase/ramp_step_progress_integration_test.go drives the real Manager against a real Postgres: the three-account fan-out with two failures and two retries (fails pre-fix by assertion at expected: 3, actual: 4); an 8-way concurrent completion of one step under -race; and a forced interleaving where an outside transaction holds the plan row lock and commits step 3 while a concurrent completion of the same step is blocked on it, asserting the blocked call observes the committed step and no-ops.
  • internal/config/store_postgres_complete_step_test.go pins the store contract with pgxmock.
  • internal/database/postgres/migrations/000098_..._test.go seeds one row per executable status, a plan with no current_step key, and both sibling-status shapes.

Concurrency depends on row locking rather than isolation level: WithTx uses pgx's default READ COMMITTED, under which the blocked locking read re-reads the latest committed version once granted, so the loser sees the winner's step.

Verification

go build ./...; go test ./...; go test -tags=integration -race for the purchase integration tests; the WHOLE migrations integration package (84 tests, per the autoheal caveat); golangci-lint at the CI pin v2.10.1; go vet; gocyclo -over 10; pre-commit over the full range including the migration-number check. All clean, re-run after the rebase onto current main.

Not fixed here

A ramp step still counts as complete when ONE execution for it runs clean, not when every account of a multi-account plan has bought. That is unchanged from before this PR, and issue #1669 asked for it to be settled; it is split out, along with the two log-only money-path silences, in #1861.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved purchase-plan progress tracking with explicit step completion.
    • Prevented skipped steps and duplicate completions from advancing progress.
    • Added safer handling for concurrent executions and retries.
    • Corrected execution step numbering for notifications and migrated records.
    • Completed plans now clear their next scheduled execution date.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed progress advancement across multi-account purchases and retries.
    • Purchase executions now record ramp-advance failures for better traceability.
    • Added migration support for correcting legacy step numbers.

IncrementPlanCurrentStep advanced the ramp with a blind CurrentStep++ that
carried no notion of WHICH step was completing, and its caller could not
supply one either. A multi-account plan produces one execution per account
per ramp step, so retrying two separately-failed accounts of a single step
advanced the ramp twice: the plan reported itself a step further along than
the commitment it had actually bought, and a later step's purchase silently
dropped out of its accounting.

Measured against a real Postgres before the fix, for a 4-step plan on step 2
whose step-3 fan-out committed 1 of 3 accounts: the partial root correctly
did not advance (step 2), the first per-account retry advanced to 3, and the
second advanced to 4. At that point IsComplete() reported the ramp finished
and next_execution_date was cleared, after only 3 of 4 steps had been bought.

Replace it with CompletePlanStep(ctx, planID, stepNumber), which advances
only when the completing step is exactly CurrentStep+1, inside the existing
FOR UPDATE transaction. Completing a step at or below CurrentStep is a no-op,
so a second per-account retry cannot advance the ramp again. Completing a
step further ahead is refused rather than jumping, because advancing over
steps that never completed would overstate what the plan has bought. The step
comes from the execution's own step_number column (NOT NULL DEFAULT 1 since
the initial schema), never from the plan state that is itself in doubt; a
plan-attributed row with a non-positive step is reported instead of guessed.

purchase.getOrCreateExecution stamped step_number with the COUNT of completed
steps rather than the 1-based step being executed, disagreeing with
api.createPurchaseExecutionsTx (CurrentStep + i + 1). That off-by-one was
invisible under a blind increment but would have frozen the ramp once the
advance keyed on the value, so it is corrected here, and migration 000098
retargets the executable rows already carrying the old convention. Without
that backfill every in-flight plan execution would silently stop advancing
its ramp on deploy, which is the same under-buy this change exists to fix.
Terminal rows are left alone: their step_number is audit trail and no
discriminator separates an old-convention one from a correctly stamped one
whose ramp has since moved past it. The backfill also skips any row whose
plan and step already has a successful sibling: that shape is a per-account
retry successor for a step another account's retry already counted, which is
correctly stamped, and retargeting it would make it buy its own step's
tranche while advancing the ramp past the next one.

Two limits stay open and are unchanged by this commit. A step still counts as
completed when one execution for it runs clean, not when every account of a
multi-account plan has bought. And a step that never completes now freezes the
ramp rather than letting later steps advance over it, which is the safer of
the two wrong answers but leaves no durable evidence beyond a log line.

Regression coverage runs the real Manager against a real migrated Postgres
(internal/purchase/ramp_step_progress_integration_test.go): the three-account
fan-out with two failures and two retries, which fails pre-fix by assertion
with CurrentStep=4; an 8-way concurrent completion of one step; and a forced
interleaving where an outside transaction holds the plan row lock and commits
step 3 while a concurrent completion of the same step is blocked on it,
proving the blocked call observes the committed step and no-ops.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6c8c2

This change makes ramp advancement idempotent per step, but a failure after an execution is marked complete can still leave the plan’s ramp state unadvanced with no durable retry path, causing accounting to diverge from completed purchases. Explicit owner acceptance or follow-up is needed before merge.

59-65: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial

Consider the index support for the correlated sibling lookup.

The NOT EXISTS subquery runs once per candidate row and filters on (plan_id, step_number, status). If purchase_executions has no index covering (plan_id, step_number), PostgreSQL scans the table for each candidate. On a large deployment this makes the migration quadratic and holds row locks longer.

Check the existing indexes before rollout. If only plan_id is indexed, the plan is likely acceptable; if neither is indexed, add a temporary index or accept a longer maintenance window.

Comment thread internal/purchase/manager.go
The refusal paths are new in #1669: the previous blind CurrentStep++ could
not decline, so a purchase always moved the ramp. CompletePlanStep can now
decline (an unknown step_number, or a step more than one beyond CurrentStep),
which means money can be spent on a step the plan then declines to count.

That stall is not self-correcting. CompletePlanStep returns before its write,
so next_execution_date stays stale, and shouldNotifyPlan reads a stale date as
daysUntil < 0 and stops notifying the plan entirely. A plan on the
notification-driven path therefore goes quiet rather than retrying, and the
only trace was a logging.Errorf.

Stamp the refusal on the execution row that just completed so it outlives the
log retention window and surfaces in History. The status stays completed: the
purchase did complete, and only the progress accounting did not. Recovery is
deliberately not scheduled here; deriving ramp progress from the executions
table is tracked in #1861.
