Summary

This PR adds code to read and write state using DMS, behind DATABRICKS_BUNDLE_RECORD_DEPLOYMENT_HISTORY.

Design decisions:

  1. The version is only created after a user approves a deployment. Not before.
  2. CreateVersion stages one operation per planned resource, so the CLI only ever calls UpdateOperation — there is no CreateOperation call. The service creates each staged operation as PENDING at sequence_id = 0, which is the precondition the CLI uses for its first update of a resource. Needs databricks-eng/universe#2420238 (merged).
  3. Jobs and pipelines are stamped with deployment ID and version ID.

Also adds an env var to toggle DMS, and records the API status and error code with a failure.

Testing Strategy

The whole acceptance suite runs a second time with recording on (EnvMatrix.DATABRICKS_BUNDLE_RECORD_DEPLOYMENT_HISTORY), so every bundle test exercises DMS against the local test server and asserts the same golden files either way — the nostamp helper strips the deployment stamp for that. Focused coverage of the recorded calls themselves lives under acceptance/bundle/dms.

Before private preview we will:

  1. Run these tests on cloud on our production workspaces.
  2. TBD: Run these tests on staging workspaces as well as part of our test infra.

What is missing?

  1. Serialized plan does not work yet. Will be fixed in a followup PR.
  2. Issues were reported in bugbash where applies would be state or plans would not be correctly computed. This could be because of caching in the service which we are fixing with strong reads. To be investigated later in any case.

…d IDs

Wire the direct engine into the Deployment Metadata Service (DMS) so that a
`record_deployment_history`-enabled bundle records each deploy/destroy as a
version and can read its resource state back from DMS.

The deployment ID is now assigned by the server: the first deploy calls
CreateDeployment with an empty ID, reads the assigned ID back from the response,
and persists it in the direct-engine state header (Header.DeploymentID). Later
deploys pass the stored ID back, so a bundle maps one-to-one to a DMS deployment
even after the local cache is deleted (the ID rides along in the
workspace-synced state file).

- libs/dms: Recorder creates the deployment (server-assigned ID) + version,
  heartbeats the lease, completes it, and deletes the deployment on destroy.
- bundle/direct: operationRecorder reports each applied resource operation;
  the wire resource_key drops the CLI-internal "resources." prefix.
- bundle/direct/dstate: Open takes a DMS client and overlays DMS resource state
  when DMS holds a successful version; deployment ID persisted in the header.
- bundle/phases: create the version after plan approval, complete it under the
  lock, record operations during apply.
- libs/testserver: stateful fake DMS (deployments/versions/operations/resources)
  with server-generated IDs; acceptance test covers deploy, cache-loss redeploy,
  and destroy.

The read overlay decided whether DMS owns a deployment's state by listing
versions and scanning for a successful one. The deployment now exposes
last_successful_version_id directly, so a single GetDeployment answers the
same question — no version listing.

The field is still stage:DEVELOPMENT in the proto and therefore stripped from
the generated SDK, so this reads the deployment via a raw GET into a local
struct as a temporary stub. Once the field is promoted to PRIVATE_PREVIEW and
regenerated, the raw call collapses to client.GetDeployment(...).
LastSuccessfulVersionId and the threaded config argument goes away (see the
TODO in deploymentHasSuccessfulVersion).

The testserver's GetDeployment now serves last_successful_version_id (tracked
on version completion), and the now-unused ListVersions fake is removed.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
Five fixes to the DMS state recording added in #6052:

1. The fake DMS server dropped last_successful_version_id. GetDeployment
   serialized the response through a struct embedding
   bundledeployments.Deployment, whose promoted MarshalJSON silently
   discards sibling fields. The CLI reads a missing value as "DMS does not
   own the state", so the entire read/overlay path (overlayDMSState,
   fetchDeploymentResources, deploymentHasSuccessfulVersion) never ran in
   any test. Serialize through a map instead, and unit-test the shape.

2. A bundle with no resources leaked a deployment record per deploy. Such
   a deploy writes no WAL entries, and the state file was only persisted
   when the WAL carried entries, so the server-assigned deployment ID was
   dropped and the next deploy created a second deployment. Track a dirty
   header so Finalize persists an ID change on its own. A header-only WAL
   that changed nothing still skips the write, keeping the serial in step
   (acceptance/bundle/deploy/wal/header-only-wal).

3. Deploy after destroy failed permanently. A successful destroy deletes
   the deployment record but leaves its ID in local state, so the next
   deploy's GetDeployment 404'd and the error was fatal — unrecoverable on
   retry. Treat a missing deployment as "create a new one"; any other read
   error stays fatal.

4. The overlay dropped depends_on. DMS does not record dependency edges,
   so replacing local state with DMS resources lost them, affecting delete
   ordering, the apply graph, and --select expansion. Carry depends_on over
   from the local entry. Masked by (1) until now.

5. Recording bypassed secret redaction. dstate.SaveState redacts
   bundle:"sensitive" fields before writing state, but the operation
   recorder marshalled raw, so a secret would be sent to DMS in plaintext
   and read back into local state. Route through
   structwalk.RedactSensitiveFields. Latent today: no resource state type
   carries a sensitive field yet.

Adds acceptance coverage for deploy-destroy-deploy and for a bundle with
no resources, both of which now exercise the read path (visible as
GET .../resources in the recorded requests).

Recording an operation with the deployment metadata service used to happen
inline on the apply worker, so every resource paid a CreateOperation round
trip before the worker moved on to the next one.

Queue the operations instead and upload them from a small pool of background
workers (operationQueue, in the new opqueue.go). The queue holds resource keys
rather than operations, so an operation recorded for a resource that is still
waiting replaces the queued one: DMS keeps one state per resource key, so the
later operation supersedes the earlier one and a single request records both.
This is best effort - only operations that no worker has picked up yet are
coalesced.

Uploads are not fire-and-forget. Apply drains the queue before returning and
reports the first failure, because a version that completes successfully makes
DMS authoritative for resource state; dropping an operation would leave DMS
with an incomplete resource set and the next deploy would plan to create
resources that already exist.

At most one upload per resource key runs at a time, so the last operation
recorded for a resource is also the last one the service sees.

Recording deployment history is implemented end to end, but it cannot be
exposed to users yet: enabling it makes the deployment metadata service the
source of truth for resource state, and there is no upgrade path from an
existing direct-engine state file to a DMS-owned one. Setting the flag is
now an error.

DATABRICKS_BUNDLE_ENABLE_RECORD_DEPLOYMENT_HISTORY lifts the error so the
CLI's own acceptance tests and DMS development can exercise the feature
until the direct state upgrade lands.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
DATABRICKS_BUNDLE_ENABLE_RECORD_DEPLOYMENT_HISTORY read as if it were the
switch that turns the feature on. It is not: the flag in databricks.yml does
that, and this variable only permits the flag to be set while the feature is
gated off. Name it DATABRICKS_BUNDLE_FORCE_ALLOW_RECORD_DEPLOYMENT_HISTORY.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
Replace the blanket gate on experimental.record_deployment_history with a
narrower check in dstate.DeploymentState.Open: recording is refused only when
the state file already tracks deployed resources that DMS does not know about.

Once DMS holds a successful version it is authoritative for resource state even
when its resource set is empty, so adopting a state file written by a CLI that
predates DMS would make already-owned resources look absent and create them a
second time. A state file that DMS already owns is fine, and so is one with no
resources (e.g. left behind by a destroy), which is what makes the error's
destroy-and-redeploy advice work.

The check keys off len(State) rather than the file existing because destroy
leaves resources.json in place with an empty resource set.

This drops validate.ValidateRecordDeploymentHistory and the
DATABRICKS_BUNDLE_FORCE_ALLOW_RECORD_DEPLOYMENT_HISTORY escape hatch, which are
no longer needed. Upgrading an existing state in place (state v3 with a feature
flag plus per-resource tombstones so older clients refuse the state) is left as
a TODO.

The concurrent-producer test tripped three linters:

- modernize/revive want wg.Go instead of wg.Add + go func + defer wg.Done.
- testifylint's go-require flags recordState, which calls require inside the
  spawned goroutines. testify assertions may only run on the goroutine running
  the test function.

Record inline and send each error to a buffered channel that the test goroutine
drains after wg.Wait, so the assertions stay on the test goroutine.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
The operation queue collapses repeated writes to the same resource key by
replacing the queued operation wholesale, so a create followed by an update
was uploaded as an update. That tells DMS the resource already existed before
this deploy, when in fact this deploy created it.

Merge the actions instead: the state uploaded is still the later one, but a
queued create or recreate wins over a subsequent update. A delete still wins
over anything queued before it, since the resource is gone.

This is not reachable from Apply today - each resource is recorded once per
deploy, because there is one record call per graph node and dagrun visits each
node exactly once - so this is about the queue being correct for any caller
that records a resource more than once.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
The deployment ID was persisted in the local state file header, which made
the CLI the source of truth for a value the service mints. DMS registers
each deployment as a workspace node named resources.deployment.json under
initial_parent_path, and the node's ID *is* the deployment ID, so it can be
resolved from the workspace instead.

ResolveDeploymentID does a get-status on <state_path>/resources.deployment.json
and returns the node ID, or empty when the node is absent. Deploy, destroy,
and the read path all resolve the ID that way and pass it down; the read path
then constructs state from GetDeployment + ListResources as before.

Consequences:

  - Header.DeploymentID, GetDeploymentID, and SetDeploymentID are gone,
    along with the headerDirty machinery that only existed to persist the ID
    on a resource-less deploy.
  - Open takes a *DMSSource instead of a (client, config) pair, since the
    resolved ID now has to be threaded in too.
  - CreateDeployment sets initial_parent_path, which the service requires
    and the CLI never set.
  - createDeploymentVersion no longer recovers from a 404 on GetDeployment by
    creating a second deployment. A destroy trashes the node, so a resolved
    ID whose record is missing means the two are out of sync, and creating
    another deployment would collide on the same node path.

The testserver models the real derivation: CreateDeployment creates the
workspace node and uses its object ID as the deployment ID, so the acceptance
tests exercise get-status resolution end to end. dms/record now wipes the
local cache before redeploying and records zero operations, which is the read
path reconstructing state entirely from DMS.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
- Limit recorded state to 64 KB, checked when the payload is built so an
  oversized resource fails itself rather than the drain at close.
- Collapse the operation queue's pending/inflight pair into one `owned` set.
  The two maps encoded a single question ("is this key already claimed?") and
  had to be read together; `take` now only releases ownership.
- Only log "Coalescing" when an operation was actually merged. The old code
  logged it for in-flight keys too, where nothing was coalesced.
- Restore mergeWalIntoState's `hasEntries` naming and comment from main. The
  `persist` rename existed for the headerDirty case, which is gone.
- Trim the comments added by this PR.

Also note in fetchDeploymentResources that DMS has no field for dependency
edges and they cannot be recovered from the recorded state (references are
resolved to literals before serialization), so depends_on is carried over from
the local state file.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
The read path carried depends_on over from the local state file, which is
empty exactly when it matters: a fresh checkout reconstructs state from DMS
and got no dependency edges. Deletes are the one case that cannot recompute
them, because the resource is gone from config, so two dropped resources with
a real dependency could be deleted in the wrong order.

DMS has no field for dependency edges, and they cannot be recovered from the
recorded config either: references are resolved to literals before it is
serialized. So Operation.State now carries an envelope, dstate.RecordedState,
holding the config plus depends_on. Nesting depends_on inside the config would
have collided with resource fields of the same name (jobs.Task.depends_on).
The envelope mirrors the local ResourceEntry, so both sides of the round trip
have the same shape.

acceptance/bundle/dms/depends-on covers it: a job referencing another records
its edge, and after wiping the local state a destroy still deletes the
referencing job first.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
Migrating an existing deployment is not supported: Open rejects a bundle that
already has resources in state, so a deployment that exists in DMS was created
by an opted-in CLI and DMS owns its resource set outright. The
last_successful_version_id probe that decided whether to trust DMS was
therefore always true by the time it ran.

Removing it takes with it the raw GET that read the field (it is
stage:DEVELOPMENT and stripped from the generated SDK) and DMSSource.Config,
which existed only to make that call. overlayDMSState is now readDMSState,
since it no longer overlays anything conditionally: it just reads.

Recording stays opt-in via experimental.record_deployment_history; that flag is
what makes the caller pass a DMSSource at all.

acceptance/bundle/dms/existing-state also now covers wiping the local cache:
deploy pulls the state file back from the workspace, so the resources stay
tracked and opting in is still rejected.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
Reading resource state from DMS now requires the state file to record a
"deployment_history" feature flag, rather than inferring eligibility from the
resource count.

The old check refused a state that had resources and no DMS deployment ID. That
happened to be right, but it inferred intent from a side effect: a state with
resources could equally be one DMS already owns. The flag says so directly.

Header.Features was already scaffolded for exactly this, so this fills it in:

  - Open writes the flag when recording is enabled, and refuses a state that
    has resources without it. Migrating such a target is not supported, so the
    error names the target and the three ways out: use a new target, destroy
    this one and redeploy, or unset the feature.
  - A state recording any feature is written at featureStateVersion, so a CLI
    that predates the flag refuses it (see migrateState) instead of deploying
    against a resource set that lives in DMS and looks empty on disk.
  - migrateState accepts features it implements and refuses only unknown ones,
    naming just those in the error.
  - WAL replay carries the features forward, so recovering a WAL from a
    recording deploy still produces a state marked as DMS-owned.

The flag is per target, which matches how experimental.record_deployment_history
is set.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
Coalescing now keeps the newest operation outright instead of merging fields.

Each operation carries the resource's full state rather than a delta, so a newer
one entirely supersedes an older one - including its resource_id, which is the
field that actually changes between two records (a create learns the ID only
after the API call returns it). The previous code merged the action and
overwrote the ID, which is backwards: the action cannot differ between records
of the same resource, while the ID can. mergeAction is gone.

Also renames `owned` to `queuedOrUploading`. Nothing is owned by a particular
worker: a key can be handled by one worker, released, and picked up later by
another. The mark only means "some worker will get to this", which is all record
needs to know in order to not queue the key twice.

The doc comments now lead with the two rules that shape the design (no
overlapping uploads per resource; only the newest operation matters) so the
mechanism reads as a consequence of them rather than as bookkeeping.

The dms tests pass workspace paths to $CLI (`workspace get-status
/Workspace/...`). On Windows, Git Bash rewrites a leading-'/' argument into a
Windows path before the CLI sees it, so the lookup goes to
C:/Program Files/Git/Workspace/... and 404s, failing record, no-resources and
redeploy-after-destroy on that platform only.

Same fix and reason as acceptance/cmd/workspace/export-dir-*/test.toml.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
Setting it in test.toml applied it to the whole test, which stopped Git Bash
converting the PATH too - so python3 could not find print_requests.py
("can't open file 'C:\\c\\a\\cli\\cli\\acceptance\\bin\\print_requests.py'")
and every dms test failed on Windows, including the three that were passing.

trace exports leading KEY=value pairs in a subshell, so setting it there fixes
the CLI's leading-'/' argument without reaching the helpers.

The precedent this was copied from
(acceptance/cmd/workspace/export-dir-*/test.toml) uses no python helpers, which
is why the test.toml form is safe there but not here.

close runs on one goroutine after every apply worker has returned, so nothing
else touches the queue by then and the closed flag needs no protection. The
wg.Wait orders the upload workers' writes to err before it is read, so that
read needs none either.

Also tightens the coalescing test to count uploads for the resource instead of
only checking the payload of the last one. It asserted the merged content but
would have passed if the operations had been uploaded twice, which is the thing
coalescing exists to prevent.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
Drops the RedactSensitiveFields call, leaving a TODO: fields marked
bundle:"sensitive" now reach DMS in plaintext, and the read path writes them
back into the local state file unredacted. This has to be restored before the
feature ships to users.

Also documents why take leaves the key in queuedOrUploading when it hands an
operation to a worker, and covers the case the comment describes: recording
while that key's upload is in flight. The operation cannot join the in-flight
request, so it is uploaded next by the same worker rather than being dropped or
picked up concurrently by a second one.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
Drops the record_deployment_history annotation change (and the generated schema
that followed from it), leaving both files as they are on main.

CompleteVersion now keys its no-op on versionNum rather than on the heartbeat
handle. Both are set together by CreateVersion, so the behaviour is the same -
a deploy that was cancelled, or whose CreateVersion failed, does not complete a
version that was never created - but the check now names the thing it is
actually guarding. Callers defer CompleteVersion unconditionally, so this is
the only thing standing between a failed CreateVersion and a CompleteVersion
call against a nonexistent version.

Restores validate.ValidateRecordDeploymentHistory and the hidden
DATABRICKS_BUNDLE_FORCE_ALLOW_RECORD_DEPLOYMENT_HISTORY escape hatch, so setting
experimental.record_deployment_history is an error unless that variable is set.
The service side is not ready for users: DMS is only deployed to dev and
staging, and reading state back needs the workspace APIs to expose the
deployment's tree node, which is still behind a flag.

With the flag unreachable, the state feature flag added earlier is not needed
yet, so dstate is back to the resource-count check in Open. The
deployment_history feature, hasFeature/setFeature, the version bump on write and
the WAL carry-over all come back with the state upgrade in a follow-up.

The dms acceptance tests force allow the flag, and bundle/dms/not-supported
covers the error users see. Operation requests in bundle/dms/depends-on print
multi-line now: the state envelope nests two levels, which --oneline made
unreadable.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
An upload failure was only reported at close, so a DMS outage let apply deploy
every remaining resource and fail at the end. That leaves resources in the
workspace that DMS has no record of, and since a completed version makes DMS the
source of truth for resource state, the next deploy would create them again.

record now returns the first upload error, which the apply worker turns into a
failed node, so the deploy stops shortly after the failure instead of running to
completion. It refuses new work only: operations already recorded still upload,
because close drains them, so the records DMS ends up with match the resources
that were actually applied. Resources already mid-apply also finish.

Also repeats the one test whose bug depends on a scheduler interleaving rather
than on a forced handshake, so a single run gets many chances to hit the bad
ordering. The other tests pin their interleaving with the started/block channels,
so repetition would not add coverage; the new error tests use a `done` channel to
wait for an upload to have finished rather than merely started.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
The previous commit made record return the upload error, but record runs after
the resource has already been created or updated, so every node that started
before the failure was noticed still modified the workspace.

Apply now checks for a recorded failure before it touches anything, right after
the dependency check, so a node that has not started yet is refused rather than
applied. Resources already mid-apply still finish - the check cannot unwind
those - but the deploy no longer runs to completion against a service that is
rejecting its records.

acceptance/bundle/dms/operation-upload-fails covers it. Which resources get
refused depends on how far apply got before a background upload failed, so the
per-resource errors go to a LOG file and requests are not recorded; the test
asserts the deploy fails and reports the upload error.

Also drops --sort from the dms tests that deploy zero or one resource: their
request order is already deterministic, and the unsorted output reads in
chronological order.

it's hard to make a assert more here because we cannot control how many requests went through. We could harden this test by making the number of workers configurable and 1. Omitting for now.

CreateDeployment now only registers the workspace node whose ID names the
deployment; the record itself is created by the first CreateVersion. A client
that registers a deployment and then fails before recording a version leaves
just the node behind, not an empty deployment.

That state is reachable, so both sides of the CLI handle it:

  - the recorder starts at version 1 under the ID the node already names,
    instead of failing on the missing record or creating a second deployment
    that would collide on the same node path
  - the read path keeps the local (empty) state instead of surfacing the 404
    from ListResources

acceptance/bundle/dms/version-never-created covers it end to end: the first
version fails, and the next deploy reuses the same deployment ID.

Also drops libs/testserver/bundle_test.go. The fake is exercised by every dms
acceptance test, so unit tests for it only duplicate that coverage.

Co-authored-by: Isaac
Prepare looked the deployment up a second time to work out which version to create.
The id already comes from opening the state, so the last version comes with it now,
and the next one is arithmetic the client does when it is built. Prepare and
resolveNextVersion are gone; what remains of them is EnsureDeployment, which a deploy
calls before the plan because the stamp has to be in the snapshot the plan takes.

The same read serves 'bundle summary', so reporting the deployment costs no API call
of its own. It runs with the other state-into-config mutators now rather than behind
the option that existed to keep those calls off other commands.

Two goldens move: the deployment read now precedes the resource read.

display_name, target_name, deployment_mode and workspace_info belong to the deployment,
not to each version that happened to carry them. CreateDeployment sets them, and a later
run brings them up to date with UpdateDeployment, masking only what differs from the
record already read when the state was opened - so a run that says the same thing writes
nothing. Comparing workspace_info ignores ForceSendFields: the SDK fills it in from the
response, so a record read back never deep-equals one built here, and every run would
have looked like a change. CreateVersion keeps what a version owns: cli_version,
version_type, previous_version_id, git_info and the staged operations.

The update body is a map holding exactly the masked fields, as the operation body already
is: the SDK struct's omitempty would drop deployment_mode when a target stops setting
mode, and the service rejects a mask naming a field the body leaves out. The fake now
refuses that too, so the next such drop fails locally instead of on a real workspace.

Both callers - the deploy, before the plan is stamped, and Start - go through the same
place, so what was written is cached and the second call has nothing left to do.

UpdateDeployment is a third hand-written call; the generated client has none.

The package also took "jobs.foo" while the rest of the CLI calls that resource
"resources.jobs.foo", so every caller converted on the way in and back on the way out.
Its exported names take the state key now, and the prefix comes off where the request is
built - the only place the short form belongs. The requests on the wire are unchanged.

The summary mutator reads the same deployment record the rest of this uses, so reporting
it costs no API call of its own. It was still making one.

We never expect this error to happen tbh. If this happens then something really went wrong with our implementation. The existing error is fine, just adding this context makes it a bit easier to grok.

Can we trim it further to only deal with operations?

For other operations (CreateDeployment, CreateVersion etc) we already have a client and we can use that directly.

I actually went in the other direction. Consolidating all interaction to DMS into the buffered client. There are a few advantages:

  1. Most (all?) interactions with DMS are gated behind this client.
  2. All DMS interactions and setup are co-located. Easier to reason about.
  3. Allows to idempotent close easily. We need two things during close - (1) wait for existing operations to drain, (2) Close out the completed version (call CompleteVersion). We include close behind a defer function and call Drain() separately, so it's useful to a single client.

I asked claude the same question and it added some more reasons:

4. The version number is claimed before it exists, and only one thing can claim it. versionNum = last + 1 is 
settled at construction, the plan is stamped with it via Version() before approval, and CreateVersion then 
creates exactly that number with previous_version_id as the precondition — which is what makes claiming 
it up front safe (a deploy that took it meanwhile gets a 409, reported, not overwritten). Split across two 
clients, that invariant lives in two places.

5. The deployment record is read once and cached, which is what makes the masked update possible. 
current is what staleFields compares against, so a run that says the same thing writes nothing. A caller 
calling Client.UpdateDeployment itself would have to carry the record and the mask — and would hit the 
double-PATCH I found on staging, where EnsureDeployment (before the plan) and the second call inside 
CreateVersion both saw the record as stale.

7. Sequence ids only work if staging and updating are the same object's business. CreateVersion stages 
operations at sequence_id "0"; the first update for each resource must send that as its precondition, and 
each reply carries the next one. That's one protocol in two halves — stagedSequenceID is meaningless to a 
caller that didn't stage.

9. The heartbeat's lifetime is bracketed by the two methods. CreateVersion starts it (line 314), Close stops 
it (350). Direct Client use puts lease renewal on the caller — and an expired lease silently completes the 
version as LEASE_EXPIRED after the 2-minute TTL.

11. Nil is the "recording off" null object, across the whole surface. 11 methods guard the nil receiver, so 
deploy, destroy and the state DB call through unconditionally. Any call routed to Client instead needs its 
own if recording guard back, since *dms.Client isn't nil-safe.

Also worth folding into your point 3: Close is where "a completed destroy deletes the deployment" lives 
(VersionCompleteSuccess && versionType == Destroy). That's a policy decision, not a call — good to have 
in one place rather than remembered by destroy.go.

So in cases where workspace path exists but database entry does not, this bundle becomes blocked?

Given that we already handle this on CreateDeployment side, we should also handle it here?

and I think should be abstracted away into backend (or temporarily into dms package), so you can do:

deploymentID, lastVersionID, err := ReadDeployment(ctx, state_path)

this returns non-empty deploymentID and lastVersionId only if deployment is complete - both file and DB entry exist. if either is missing, both are empty and caller must do

CreateDeployment(state_path) to create or finalize the deployment.

Good point. Yeah we need to fix that. Lets to this as a separate PR? The code to recover from that state and recreate the deployment.

Yeah sounds good, eventually a method to lookup using path makes sense here.

Two tests added on main sit under acceptance/bundle, so they inherit the DMS
matrix this branch adds there and their generated out.test.toml is now stale.
Neither side is wrong on its own, so the staleness only appears once they meet -
which is what CI checks, since it tests the merge rather than the branch.

Open took a DMSSource - a client, a deployment id, and that deployment's record -
so it could read the resources from the service and stash the other two for the
summary mutator and the deploy phase to read back out of the state DB. All three
already belong to the BufferedClient, so that is passed instead: the struct goes,
and StateDB.DMSDeploymentID and .DMSDeployment go with it.

NewBufferedClient now reads what it used to be handed - the deployment id under
the state path, and the record naming the version to follow - so there is one
constructor and it needs a workspace client rather than four resolved values.
What is left on the bundle side is the mapping from config to Metadata, and the
one condition that decides whether this run records at all.

ReadDeployment and Client.GetDeployment were both wrappers with that constructor
as their only caller, and between them they added a name, an early return and
error text nothing asserted. The constructor returns early when there is no id -
which reads better where the deployment is known not to exist yet - and otherwise
makes the SDK call the wrappers stood in front of, passing its error through.

Open makes the one read it needs and hands the resources to applyDMSState, which
maps them and touches nothing else. That is what the state tests exercise now,
with a slice instead of an SDK iterator fake standing in for a list call.

The version type moves from construction to CreateVersion - Start until now, which
said that something starts without saying what. It is the one input the client
cannot have at construction: the place that opens the state serves deploy and
destroy alike, and only the phase knows which run this is.

Resolving the deployment id is nobody else's business now that the constructor is
the only caller, so it is unexported. It keeps its name and its tests: reaching it
through the constructor would mean faking a workspace and the service to cover
what a path join and a not-found do.

Open reads through the client and does not keep it. RegisterDmsClient still
installs it for writing, once a version exists to write under.

The package has a Client and a BufferedClient, so "dmsClient" left the reader to
guess which one a field or parameter holds. Every one of them holds the buffered
client, and now says so - the exported field on DeploymentBundle and the method
that installs it included, since that is where the guessing started.

Rename only.

Another test added on main sits under acceptance/bundle, so it inherits the DMS
matrix this branch adds there and its generated out.test.toml went stale. This
recurs on every merge until the branch lands.

The half-done state was recorded as OPERATION_STATUS_IN_PROGRESS, on the reading
that the SDK enum trailed the service proto. It does not: the proto has
UNSPECIFIED, SUCCEEDED, FAILED and PENDING, and nothing else. A real workspace
parses the unknown name as UNSPECIFIED and refuses the write, so every recreate
failed to record - and the local fake accepted it, so every test said otherwise.

PENDING is what the service calls an operation it has recorded but not applied,
which is exactly where a recreate sits between deleting the old resource and
creating the new one. Verified against a real deployment: the delete half clears
the state and reports PENDING, the create half then records the new resource, and
the service ends up describing it. The service also exempts a pending operation
from the state-vs-existence rules, which is what lets the delete half clear state
before anything replaces it.

The fake now refuses a status the enum does not have, rather than storing whatever
string it is handed. That permissiveness is why an invented value passed every
local run and failed only against a workspace.

This will eventually become StatusInProgress once the backend supports it.

Recording a delete sent the same mask as every other write, with an empty state and
the id of what had just been removed. A real workspace refuses that: a delete that
succeeded has no resource left to describe, so an empty state is a state it will not
take, and an id is only accepted alongside one it was given. Destroy therefore failed
for every bundle that records history - the resources went, the operation stayed
pending, and the version completed as a failure.

The service reads a masked state with no value as a clear, which is also what drops
the resource from the deployment. So a delete now names state in the mask and leaves
the value out, and does not name the id. Verified against a real workspace: deploy
then destroy both complete VERSION_COMPLETE_SUCCESS, the deployment ends DELETED, and
a delete of one resource among several drops only that one from the deployment.

The fake took the old shape without complaint, which is why this only ever failed
against a workspace. It now reads a masked state with no value as the clear the
service reads it as, and counts only a state it was given when deciding whether an
id may accompany it.
