Maria A NunezandMattermost Build 724c5b7191 CPA Display Name Support (#36247)
* Phase 1: CPA display_name + CEL-safe name validation (server)

- Add typed DisplayName field to CPAAttrs + display_name attr key constant.
- Add ValidateCPAFieldName helper enforcing CEL IDENTIFIER + reserved-word blacklist.
- Wire validation into App.CreateCPAField (always) and App.PatchCPAField (lenient grandfather: skip when Name unchanged).
- Trim + 255-rune cap DisplayName in CPAField.SanitizeAndValidate.
- Developer-facing godoc note documenting rule, sources of truth, and Option C scoping.
- Asserting test for documented Option C plugin-API bypass (closed by PR #36173).

* Phase 1 (review): address Reza's Major + Minor findings

- Rename misleading subtest "empty DisplayName is omitted from attrs"
  to "empty DisplayName round-trips as empty string" (Major #1).
- Add TestCPAAttrs_JSONOmitEmpty pinning the omitempty wire-format
  contract that PR #36173's typed-attrs strategy relies on (Major #1).
- Extend TestValidateCPAFieldName: case-sensitivity (IN/In ok),
  single-character names (a/_/A ok), missing "as" reserved word
  (Minor #2). Add whitespace-only DisplayName case (Minor #2).
- Document PropertyFieldNameMaxRunes reuse in SanitizeAndValidate
  to prevent drift (Minor #3).
- Replace broken PLAN-server.md reference in bypass-test docstring
  with in-tree CPAAttrs godoc reference (Minor #4).
- Document omitempty semantics on CPAAttrs.DisplayName field to
  prevent the same misreading caught in review (Minor #5).
- Document grouping intent above CPAFieldNameReservedWords (Minor #8).

* Phase 2: in-app backfill migration for CPA display_name

- Add cpaDisplayNameBackfillKey + cpaDisplayNameBackfillVersion constants.
- Implement (*Server).doSetupCPADisplayNameBackfill: idempotent, cursor-paged
  scan over CPA group fields; backfill attrs.display_name = name when empty.
- Register in m1 migration slice in doAppMigrations (mlog.Fatal on error,
  matching existing convention).
- Three migration tests: NoExistingFields, BackfillsMissing, Idempotent.

System-key idempotency + per-field DisplayName-empty check together provide
HA-safe behavior on rolling deploys (last-write-wins on the System key;
data-level idempotency from the per-field check).

* Phase 2 (review): document race + harden idempotency test

- Document SearchPropertyFields→UpdatePropertyFields rolling-deploy
  race: stale snapshot can revert concurrent admin CPA rename. Pre-
  existing systemic shape (no UpdateAt optimistic-lock); narrow
  window; bounded blast radius (admin re-rename, ABAC ID-keyed).
  Accepted limitation per spec Out of Scope (Major #1, Option C).
- Tighten TestCPADisplayNameBackfill_Idempotent: snapshot UpdateAt
  before second run; assert no DB write on the System key or the
  field row (Major #2).
- Extract clearCPABackfillMarker helper with explanatory godoc to
  centralize the 3x-repeated test precondition (Minor #1).
- Comment fieldA seed as the "key-present-as-empty-string" idempotency
  boundary case (Minor #6).
- Add godoc to doSetupCPADisplayNameBackfill (Minor #10).

Server Channels Review Guidelines

When reviewing or writing code in the server channels package, focus on SQL query performance and API layer efficiency.

SQL Store Layer

  • Run EXPLAIN ANALYZE on new or modified queries against a large dataset before merging. A query that performs well on a 12M-post database may degrade significantly at 100M+ posts.
  • Watch for sequential scans on large tables. Ensure appropriate indexes exist for new query patterns.
  • When adding new queries to the store, check whether an existing query already fetches the needed data. Avoid duplicate round trips to the database.

API Layer

  • Minimize database round trips. If an endpoint calls a Get followed by a Delete on the same row, consider using DELETE ... RETURNING to combine them into a single query.
  • Don't add queries that are unnecessary for the operation. The most efficient work is the work you don't do.
  • When adding new API endpoints, add them to the load test tooling so performance can be validated under realistic concurrency.

Permissions and Security

  • Verify that new endpoints enforce appropriate permissions. Rely on the dedicated security review for thorough coverage, but flag anything obviously missing (e.g., an endpoint that skips permission checks entirely).
