Implements the mongodb-superpowers-package design: Stable Tasks 1-50 and Advanced Tasks 1-15. The design assumes 19 Stable + 12 Advanced Gradle projects under modules/mongodb*. This repository's fail-closed registry declares exactly 19 leaf identities, so those modules become package boundaries inside the registered leaf :adapter:outbound:persistence-mongo, with the design's module dependency table enforced by ten ArchUnit rules. The mapping and every deviation are recorded in docs/mongodb/repository-adaptation.md. Contract highlights, all enforced by tests rather than convention: - Transaction body retry and commit retry are separate loops. A new session per body attempt; commit-only retry on an unknown commit. The body is never replayed after a commit ambiguity, so a failover cannot become a duplicate. - MongoExecutionOutcome keeps both ambiguous outcomes distinct from success and failure, and MongoFailureContext records only the design-permitted fields. - Failure classification reads server error labels before numeric codes. - BSON representations come from a pinned manifest, never a library default, and a golden type-signature gate fails on any drift. - Index and validator changes go through the manifest and the admin plane; metadata ownership gates every drop. - Every Advanced capability refuses construction unless its flag is enabled. Verified against real servers, not only unit tests. Running the lanes for the first time exposed four defects that a green `check` had hidden: - Four release lanes passed while executing zero tests; the gate now counts executed tests per lane and fails on zero. - The "single replica set" fixture was a standalone, because Testcontainers 2.x needs withReplicaSet(); its test only asserted a connection string. - The three-node fixture was three independent clusters, so no election could occur, and awaitNewPrimary() compared against the post-stop primary. - The migration lease checked modifiedCount, so a same-millisecond refresh read as a lost lease. scripts/verify-mongodb-platform.sh now reports: 9 lanes, 0 skipped, 0 failed, every evidence category produced. scripts/verify-mongodb-advanced.sh reports NOT PROMOTABLE: actual-topology evidence (real sharded cluster, real KMS, real target deployment) is unobtainable here, so it is named rather than assumed.

ADR-MONGO-ADV-001 — Advanced capability promotion
- Status: Accepted
- Date: 2026-08-13
- Design source: design §2 (D-15), §3.2–§3.3; Advanced expansion plan Task 15
Context
Sharding, time series, CSFLE, Queryable Encryption, search, vector search and multi-tenancy each work in a demo within an afternoon. What they do not do is behave the same way in production, and the differences are not discovered by functional tests:
- Sharding changes which queries are efficient. A query that misses the shard key becomes scatter-gather, which passes every test on a one-shard cluster.
- Encryption's failure modes are KMS failure modes — wrong key, revoked permission, mid-rotation — none of which occur against a local key provider.
- Search and vector search can be functionally correct and useless: the index returns results, and the results are not relevant. Recall is not visible in a pass/fail assertion.
- Database-per-tenant works until the tenant count crosses what the connection and file-handle budget supports, which is an operational property, not a code property.
The failure mode this ADR prevents is a capability marked "done" on the strength of a green test that never touched the environment where it will run.
Decision
Every Advanced and Experimental capability is an opt-in module behind its own flag, and promotion requires evidence, not confidence.
Enablement
MongoAdvancedCapabilityFlags gates construction of every Advanced entry point. A disabled capability
does not produce a runtime warning — the type refuses to be constructed, naming the property that
enables it (MongoAdvancedCapabilityFlags.propertyFor(capability)). Being on the classpath is not
being enabled, and stableNeverDependsOnAdvanced (ArchUnit) keeps the Stable surface free of them.
Promotion evidence
MongoAdvancedPromotionGate.verify(evidence) requires every category:
| Category | Means |
|---|---|
stable-platform |
The Stable release gate passed on the same revision. |
actual-topology |
The capability ran on the real topology — a real sharded cluster, the real KMS, the actual target deployment. Atlas Local is a pull-request convenience and explicitly not release evidence (MongoAtlasCapabilityContractSuite.Environment.ATLAS_LOCAL). |
security |
Privileges reviewed; the capability's admin role is separate from the application role. |
migration |
A documented path in and, where the capability is irreversible, an explicit statement that there is no path back. |
failure |
Negative cases fail closed: wrong key, missing permission, rotation, non-ready index, unrouted query. |
runbook |
A runbook exists for the capability's characteristic incident. |
Additional per-capability requirements
- Search / vector search: relevance and performance evidence, not functional success alone.
MongoVectorSearchBenchmarkGaterequires recall alongside latency and index size; a gate that measures only latency certifies a fast wrong answer. - Database-per-tenant and reshard orchestration remain Experimental until operational scale evidence exists. Both are correct in the small and unbounded in the large.
- Reshard requires an explicit
ReshardApproval— a named approver and a stated window. It rewrites the collection.
Promotion does not change the dependency boundary
A capability promoted to Stable remains an opt-in module unless a later starter ADR changes the dependency boundary. Promotion is a statement about evidence, not an invitation to add a transitive dependency to every service.
Consequences
Positive. No capability reaches production on the strength of a container-only test. The evidence list is the same for every capability, so promotion is reviewable rather than negotiated.
Negative. Promotion requires access to real infrastructure — a sharded cluster, a real KMS, the target deployment. That is the cost of the guarantee: the alternative is finding out in production, where encryption and sharding are both expensive to reverse.
