Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1a314

The change can unexpectedly delete retained reports, persist dangling references, block writes during migration, and briefly return inconsistent summary counts. These risks should be resolved before merge.

Do not fail open for a missing SCM.

When GC deletes an SCM after InsertReport resolves its ID, a report can retain that ID. SearchPipelineReports and ListPipelineReports pass scmid to SearchLatestReports. applyScmFilter receives no rows from GetSCM, but its empty-result branch only logs and adds no predicate. The endpoint then returns unfiltered reports instead of an empty result.

Add a false predicate in that branch:

case 0:
	logrus.Errorf("scm data not found")
	query.Apply(sm.Where(psql.Raw("FALSE")))

This localized fix prevents the incorrect API result without coordinating report publication with garbage collection.

Create these indexes concurrently.

Regular CREATE INDEX blocks writes to each populated table. This transaction can block report ingestion and configuration writes until all four indexes finish.

Use CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF NOT EXISTS. Remove the BEGIN and COMMIT wrapper because PostgreSQL does not permit concurrent index creation inside a transaction.

Preserve an explicit zero retention value.

gc.maxHistoryDays: 0 means keep every report, and the documented precedence says the configuration file wins. This zero value enters the environment fallback path. If UDASH_GC_MAX_HISTORY_DAYS=90 is present, the server enables collection and deletes reports despite the explicit configuration.

Track whether the configuration key is absent, or apply environment defaults before configuration unmarshalling.

Two snapshots can break the documented open-action invariant.

OpenActions is documented at lines 395-399 as a breakdown of Results, with counts always lower than or equal to the matching ones. The counts now come from two separate statements, so they run on two snapshots. If a report carrying an open action is inserted between the two queries, the newest bucket reports an open-action count higher than its result count, and a client computing "results without an open action" gets a negative number.

Either read both counts in one repeatable-read transaction, or clamp the breakdown when the entries are assembled.

🔧 Clamp option at the assembly loop (lines 564-566)
 		for r, count := range openActionCountByDate[entry.Date] {
-			entry.OpenActions[r] += count
+			entry.OpenActions[r] += min(count, entry.Results[r])
 		}

Limit this rule to enabled garbage collection.

When gc.maxHistoryDays is 0, Udash keeps all reports. In that case, a larger frontend MAX_HISTORY_DAYS does not offer a range with deleted reports.

State that this rule applies only when gc.maxHistoryDays is greater than zero.

-The frontend `MAX_HISTORY_DAYS` should not exceed `gc.maxHistoryDays`, or the date filter would
-offer a range with no report left in it.
