fix(openclaw): scope clear-all to the calling dataset identity - #499
Merged

Conversation
`_resolve_clear_all_targets` returned the whole storage root as one directory target, then `rmtree`'d it. Everything after that in the function scopes per identity -- the `disk` branch even enumerates children individually -- but it is all moot, because the first target already swallows the directory those children live in. Dataset isolation made this consequential rather than merely untidy. The root used to hold one shared `reflexio.db`; it now holds one `reflexio_<org>.db` per identity, so clearing one identity destroyed every other identity's database. Two local backends under distinct `REFLEXIO_DEFAULT_ORG_ID` values is not an exotic setup -- `default_get_org_id` documents it as the supported way to stop claude-smart and the self-host backend fighting over one config. It also contradicted `derive_db_path`, which promises a flat filename precisely so "sibling artifacts in the same directory -- the enterprise `sql_app.db`, the `disk_*` trees -- are untouched". They were not untouched. Now `clear-all` enumerates what the calling identity owns: its `reflexio_<org>.db` plus SQLite's sidecars, and the legacy `reflexio.db` only when the `_dataset_identity` claim says it is ours (or when nobody has claimed it, in which case we are the installation that would adopt it on next start). Everything else in the root survives. Resolution is strictly read-only. `resolve_sqlite_db_path` upstream is not reusable here: it mkdirs the root and writes a claim row, so it would create a database in order to delete one. Two tests pin that no file or directory is created during resolution. The filename derivation is duplicated rather than imported. Reaching `_dataset_path` executes the storage package's `__init__` and costs ~1.7s measured, and `openclaw-smart-hook` runs per session event. `test_derived_filename_matches_the_canonical_resolver` imports the canonical implementation (tests can afford what the CLI cannot) and asserts the two agree, so the duplication cannot drift silently. Tests: `_resolve_clear_all_targets` had none -- all five existing `clear-all` tests patch it out and exercise only the wrapper, which is how this survived. The new cases build a real root on disk and assert what SURVIVES after removal actually runs. Asserting a path is merely absent from the target list would have passed against the bug too, since the root target destroys files it never names. `_disk_org_targets` is deliberately untouched: it globs every `disk_*` child rather than the caller's, which looks like the same class of bug, but no disk backend exists in this package and nothing here produces those directories, so there is no convention to verify a narrowing against.

Validate org_id before constructing the database filename.
_effective_org_id() accepts environment and dotenv values without validation. An ID such as team/x/../../../victim makes the resolved filename leave root. _validate_deletion_target() checks only symlinks and fixed dangerous paths. _remove_clear_all_target() can then unlink an existing file outside managed storage. Reject IDs that do not match the canonical validate_dataset_identity() rule, and add tests for separators and traversal components.

Do not treat SQLite inspection failures as unclaimed databases.
_claimed_identity() returns None both when the legacy file has no _dataset_identity table, which is the valid unclaimed case, and when sqlite3.connect() or the claim query raises sqlite3.Error. _identity_owned_targets() then includes reflexio.db and its sidecars whenever the owner is None, and _remove_clear_all_target() unlinks any regular file target. A corrupt or non-SQLite reflexio.db can therefore be deleted by clear-all. Distinguish the missing-claim-table case from other inspection failures and refuse deletion when inspection fails.

#499 flagged `_disk_org_targets` as looking like the same class of bug it fixed -- it globs every `disk_*` child rather than the caller's -- but left it alone for want of a convention to verify a narrowing against. There is none, because there is no backend: #98 removed disk storage entirely on 2026-05-28, in its own words a "clean cold deletion (no deprecation window)". The plugin was never updated, so this handling has outlived what it served by three and a half months. Nothing can reach it. `StorageConfig` is a union of SQLite, Supabase, Postgres and ManagedSupabase -- no disk variant -- and `_STORAGE_CONFIG_ADAPTER` rejects both `{"type": "disk", ...}` and a bare `{"dir_path": ...}`. The one surviving `dir_path` reference in the package, in `_storage_labels.py`, is guarded on `cls_name == "StorageConfigLocal"`, a class that no longer exists either. Removed: `_disk_org_targets`, the `kind == "disk"` branch in target resolution, and both legacy shapes in `_storage_config_kind`. No disk logic remains. A leftover disk config now falls through to the refusal the function already has for shapes it cannot interpret. That is deliberate rather than incidental: `validate_stored_config` rejects those configs, so the server cannot load such an org either. We do not know what storage it uses, and a destructive command must not guess. Translating `disk` to `sqlite` was considered and rejected. It asserts something false -- a disk config is not a SQLite config -- and would delete a database on the strength of that guess, while keeping a removed backend alive under another name. The reasoning behind it was also wrong: `resolve_storage_backend`'s fallback to SQLite applies to the `REFLEXIO_STORAGE` environment variable, not to a persisted `storage_config`, which is simply invalid. Test: both legacy shapes refuse and delete nothing. Reinstating the `disk` -> `sqlite` mapping fails it.

Follow-up to #499, which flagged this and deliberately did not touch it. ## Answering the question #499 left open #499 noted that `_disk_org_targets` globs every `disk_*` child rather than the caller's — the same shape as the bug it fixed — but left it alone, because there was no convention to verify a narrowing against. There is no convention because **there is no backend**. #98 removed disk storage entirely on 2026-05-28, describing itself as a *"clean cold deletion (no deprecation window)"*. The plugin was never updated to match, so this handling has outlived what it served by three and a half months. The answer was delete, not narrow. ## It is unreachable - `StorageConfig` is a union of `StorageConfigSQLite | StorageConfigSupabase | StorageConfigPostgres | StorageConfigManagedSupabase | None`. **No disk variant.** - `_STORAGE_CONFIG_ADAPTER` rejects both legacy shapes outright — verified directly: ``` {'type': 'disk', 'dir_path': '/tmp/x'} -> REJECTED {'dir_path': '/tmp/x'} -> REJECTED ``` - The only surviving `dir_path` reference in the package, in `_storage_labels.py`, is guarded on `cls_name == "StorageConfigLocal"` — a class that no longer exists either. (Left alone here; inert, and outside this file's scope.) - No `DiskStorage` implementation exists anywhere in either package. ## What is removed - `_disk_org_targets` - the `kind == "disk"` branch in `_resolve_clear_all_targets` - **both legacy shapes in `_storage_config_kind`** No disk logic remains. The one surviving mention of the word is a comment explaining why the fallthrough below is correct. ## Leftover configs refuse, rather than being reinterpreted A config left over from the disk backend now falls through to the refusal `_storage_config_kind` already has for shapes it cannot interpret: > `unsupported reflexio storage_config shape; refusing to delete local data` That is deliberate. `validate_stored_config` rejects those configs, so the server cannot load such an org either — we genuinely do not know what storage it uses, and a destructive command must not guess. **An earlier revision of this PR mapped `disk` onto `sqlite` instead. That was wrong on two counts** and has been removed: 1. It asserts something false — a disk config is not a SQLite config — and would delete a database on the strength of that guess, while keeping a removed backend alive under a different name. 2. The reasoning behind it did not hold. I justified it with `resolve_storage_backend`'s fallback to SQLite, but that fallback applies to the **`REFLEXIO_STORAGE` environment variable**, not to a persisted `storage_config`. Different input, different path; the config is simply invalid. ## Test Plan Local, as Actions has no budget: - **Plugin suite**: **170 passed, 2 skipped** - **Full OSS suite**: **6181 passed, 140 skipped**, coverage 83.38% (floor 65%) - `ruff check` + `ruff format --check`: clean - `pyright`: **0 errors, 0 warnings** New test, parametrized over both legacy shapes: each refuses and deletes nothing. **Mutation-tested**: reinstating the `disk` → `sqlite` mapping fails the `explicit-type` case. Mutation confirmed present before running; file restored by checksum afterwards. <!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **Bug Fixes** - `clear-all` now reports unsupported legacy disk storage configurations instead of attempting to remove them. - SQLite and remote storage handling remain available. - Unsupported storage configurations leave the current identity’s database unchanged. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->

The bug

default_get_org_iddocuments distinctREFLEXIO_DEFAULT_ORG_IDvalues as the supported way to stop claude-smart and the self-host backend fighting over oneconfig_self-host-org.json— and the openclaw plugin is itself one of those consumers.It also directly contradicted

clear-allnow enumerates what the calling identity owns:reflexio_<org>.dbplus SQLite's-wal/-shm/-journalsidecarsreflexio.dbonly when the_dataset_identityclaim says it is ours, or when nobody has claimed it — in which case this is the installation that would adopt it on next start, so clearing it is correctEverything else in the root survives, including other identities' databases and
sql_app.db.The identity is resolved with the same precedence the server and
reset_db.pyuse (REFLEXIO_DEFAULT_ORG_ID→~/.reflexio/.env→ default), soclear-allclears the database the backend would actually open. No new flag: clearing your own data correctly is the whole fix, and clearing someone else's is not a use case.Resolution is strictly read-only.

_resolve_clear_all_targetshad no coverage at all. All five existingclear-alltests patch it out and exercise only the wrapper around it. That is how this survived.The new cases build a real root on disk and assert what survives after removal actually runs. This mattered: my first draft asserted that another identity's database was absent from the target list, and those assertions passed against the buggy code — the root target destroys files it never names. A check that cannot fail is worse than no check, so they now execute the removal and look at the filesystem.

This is the residual that #477 documented but deliberately left unfixed. #477 is now closed — its actual fix landed via #481 — and this closes the one part of its analysis that was never addressed.
