# Grav Safe Self-Upgrade Prototype
|
||||
|
||||
This document tracks the design decisions behind the new self-upgrade prototype for Grav 1.8.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Prevent in-place mutation of the running Grav tree.
|
||||
- Guarantee a restorable snapshot before any destructive change.
|
||||
- Detect high-risk plugin incompatibilities (eg. `psr/log`) prior to upgrading.
|
||||
- Provide a recovery surface that does not depend on a working Admin plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
## High-Level Flow
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Preflight**
|
||||
- Ensure PHP & extensions satisfy the target release requirements.
|
||||
- Refresh GPM metadata and require all plugins/themes to be on their latest compatible release.
|
||||
- Scan plugin `composer.json` files for dependencies that are known to break under Grav 1.8 (eg. `psr/log` < 3) and surface actionable warnings.
|
||||
2. **Stage**
|
||||
- Download the Grav update archive into a staging area (`tmp://grav-snapshots/{timestamp}`).
|
||||
- Extract the package, then write a manifest describing the target version, PHP info, and enabled packages.
|
||||
- Snapshot the live `user/` directory and relevant metadata into the same stage folder.
|
||||
3. **Promote**
|
||||
- Copy the staged package into place, overwriting Grav core files while leaving hydrated user content intact.
|
||||
- Clear caches in the staged tree before promotion.
|
||||
- Run Grav CLI smoke checks (`bin/grav check`) while still holding maintenance state; restore from the snapshot automatically on failure.
|
||||
4. **Finalize**
|
||||
- Record the manifest under `user/data/upgrades`.
|
||||
- Resume normal traffic by removing the maintenance flag.
|
||||
- Leave the previous tree and manifest available for manual rollback commands.
|
||||
|
||||
## Recovery Mode
|
||||
|
||||
- Introduce a `system/recovery.flag` sentinel written whenever a fatal error occurs during bootstrap or when a promoted release fails validation.
|
||||
- While the flag is present, Grav forces a minimal Recovery UI served outside of Admin, protected by a short-lived signed token.
|
||||
- The Recovery UI lists recent manifests, quarantined plugins, and offers rollback/disabling actions.
|
||||
- Clearing the flag requires either a successful rollback or a full Grav request cycle without fatal errors.
|
||||
|
||||
## CLI Additions
|
||||
|
||||
- `bin/gpm preflight grav@<version>`: runs the same preflight checks without executing the upgrade.
|
||||
- `bin/gpm rollback [<manifest-id>]`: swaps the live tree with a stored rollback snapshot.
|
||||
- Existing `self-upgrade` command now wraps the stage/promote pipeline and respects the snapshot manifest.
|
||||
|
||||
## Open Items
|
||||
|
||||
- Finalize compatibility heuristics (initial pass focuses on `psr/log` and removed logging APIs).
|
||||
- UX polish for the Recovery UI (initial prototype will expose basic actions only).
|
||||
- Decide retention policy for old manifests and snapshots (prototype keeps the most recent three).
