From 3ff565467ff9fae9a3586bbf9e684820e9f8bc43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cyril Roelandt Date: Tue, 14 Apr 2026 21:50:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add glance-review workflow with code and spec review skills MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Create a complete glance-review workflow following the nova-review pattern: - Add glance-code-review skill for reviewing Glance code changes - Add glance-spec-review skill for reviewing glance-specs proposals - Add glance-core and glance-coresec agent personas - Add knowledge/glance.md with Glance architecture and glance_store details - Add Cursor symlinks for skill discovery - Configure workflow with MCP integration support The workflow focuses on multi-tenant isolation, database migrations, store driver boundaries, and security review for Glance changes. Key knowledge additions: - Document glance_store as separate library for store drivers - Remove placeholder notes (all content is now real/verified) - Fix config path (glance uses glance/opts.py, not glance/conf/) Note: This is largely a proof of concept. The skills are very similar to their Nova counterparts (glance-code-review ≈ nova-code-review, glance-spec-review ≈ nova-spec-review) with Glance-specific adaptations. Tested with Claude Code only; not yet tested with Cursor or ACP.

Testing Adequacy Check + +Go beyond simply checking for test existence. Assess test **quality**: + +- **Coverage depth**: Is there new code that has no associated test cases?

Over-mocking can hide real integration issues +- **Stability**: Could the test be flaky?

Check Gerrit Review History + +**Check for Gerrit MCP availability first**: Run `workflows/shared/scripts/detect-mcp.sh gerrit` and parse the JSON output to check the `available` field. + +- **If Gerrit MCP is available**: Use Gerrit MCP tools to fetch previous patchset revisions and reviewer comments. This context is essential: the current version of the spec may reflect decisions made in response to earlier reviewer feedback. Understanding the review history helps avoid re-raising points that were already discussed and settled, and highlights any open threads that still need resolution. + +- **If Gerrit MCP is unavailable**: Skip the review history check. Note in your final review output (in a dedicated "Review History" section) that the Gerrit review history was not checked due to MCP unavailability, and suggest the user manually inspect the review at `https://review.opendev.org/c/` for prior reviewer feedback. + +### 1c. Verify Launchpad Blueprint + +The spec template requires a Launchpad blueprint URL as the first item in the spec file. Verify that: + +- The blueprint URL is present at the top of the spec (e.g., `https://blueprints.launchpad.net/glance/+spec/{name}`) +- The blueprint actually exists — fetch the URL to confirm it resolves + +If the blueprint is missing or the link is broken, flag it. + +### 2. Structural Completeness Check + +Verify the spec contains all required sections per the Glance spec template. Rather than checking against a hardcoded list, read the actual template from the glance-specs repo: + +- **Template location**: `/workspace/repos/glance-specs/specs/templates/` (look for the current template) +- If the template is not accessible, check against the standard Glance spec sections (Problem description, Use Cases, Proposed change, Alternatives, Data model impact, REST API impact, Security impact, Notifications impact, Other end user impact, Performance impact, Other deployer impact, Developer impact, Implementation, Dependencies, Testing, Documentation impact, References) + +Flag missing or empty sections, but do not treat a format gap the same as a substantive problem. + +### 3. Architectural Fitness Review + +This is the most important part of the review. Evaluate whether the proposed change genuinely fits Glance's architecture: + +- **Multi-tenant isolation**: Does the proposal maintain strict image visibility boundaries (private/public/shared/community)? +- **glance_store integration**: Does it correctly use the glance_store interface? Does it require changes to glance_store itself (separate repo)? +- **Database migrations**: Are migrations additive-only and safe for online upgrades? +- **API versioning**: Does it maintain backward compatibility? Glance uses API versioning (v2 is current). +- **Image validation**: Does it preserve security properties in image format validation or conversion? +- **Credential handling**: Are store backend credentials (Swift, S3, Ceph) properly secured? +- **Image cache vs store separation**: Does it respect the boundary between the image cache (`glance/image_cache/`) and glance_store drivers? +- **Upgrade path**: Is this a breaking change? If so, does the spec provide a clear upgrade path (e.g., migration steps, deprecation period, compatibility shims)? A missing upgrade path for a breaking change is a blocker. + +### 4. Hidden Implementation Cost Analysis + +Look beyond the surface description. Many specs propose features without realizing they require: + +- **A database schema change** — because something needs to be persisted that isn't today +- **A glance_store interface change** — because new capabilities are needed from store drivers (requires coordinated patches to glance_store repo) +- **New policy rules** — because access control needs to change +- **An API version bump** — because the user-facing interface changes +- **Image validation changes** — because new formats or properties need security review + +If the spec doesn't acknowledge these but they're clearly needed, flag them as blockers. The author may not have realized the full scope of their proposal. + +### 5. Cross-Project Impact Assessment + +The goal here is to **highlight the need for alignment** with other projects: + +- Does this require changes in other OpenStack projects (Nova, Cinder, Keystone)? +- **Does this require glance_store changes?** (separate repository — flag explicitly) +- Flag any cross-project dependency so the author can coordinate early +- Note whether oslo library changes are needed + +Do not attempt to track down parallel specs in other projects — just identify where alignment is needed. + +### 6. Risk Assessment + +Flag high-risk patterns: + +- Database migrations that aren't additive-only +- Multi-tenant isolation bypasses or weakened visibility checks +- New image validation logic that could introduce security vulnerabilities +- Policy changes that alter default access (especially public image creation) +- Changes that expose store backend credentials in logs or API responses +- Image format validation that could allow format confusion attacks + +## Output + +Write the review to `artifacts/glance-review/spec-{spec-name}.md` with this structure: + +```markdown +# Spec Review: {spec title} + +**Spec**: {path or reference} +**Date**: {date} +**Verdict**: {APPROVE / REQUEST_CHANGES / NEEDS_DISCUSSION} + +## Summary +{1-2 sentence summary of what the spec proposes and the overall assessment} + +## Review History +{If Gerrit MCP was unavailable: note that review history was not checked and provide link for manual inspection} + +## Structural Completeness +{Table or checklist of required sections with status — based on the actual template} + +## Architectural Review + +### Strengths +{What the spec does well} + +### Blockers +{Issues that must be resolved — missing multi-tenant isolation considerations, architectural misfit, hidden implementation costs, glance_store coordination needs} + +### Suggestions +{Improvements that would strengthen the spec but aren't blocking} + +## Cross-Project Impact +{Projects that need alignment and why — especially flag if glance_store changes are needed} + +## Risk Assessment +{High-risk patterns identified, including security implications, database migration risks, multi-tenant isolation concerns} + +## Recommended Actions +{Numbered list of specific actions for the author} +``` + +### Writing Style + +Follow the rules in `rules.md`.

Do not assume a value can be `None` just because the local code doesn't guard against it. Perform these checks **before** classifying anything as a bug: + +1. **Trace the full activation path** — find where the class is instantiated or the function is called. Read the caller code to understand what values are actually passed and under what conditions. Do not stop at the immediate caller; follow the chain until you reach the entry point (e.g., a config-driven factory, a service startup path). Identify which config option or condition **gates** this code path — i.e., what must be true for this code to execute at all. +2. **Check config option definitions AND their interdependencies** — if the code path depends on a configuration option, look up the option's definition (type, default, required/optional) and its documentation. Critically, **connect the activation path from step 1 to the config check**: when a feature toggle enables a code path, check what the feature's documentation says is required when it is enabled. An individual config option being technically optional does NOT mean `None` is a valid input when the feature that depends on it is active. The valid configuration space is the intersection of all options that matter when the feature is enabled, not each option checked in isolation. +3. **Distinguish misconfiguration from code bugs** — if the problematic input can only occur when the operator has set up an inconsistent or incomplete configuration (e.g., enabling a feature but not providing its required credentials), it is **not a code bug in the patch**. At most, suggest improving config validation at service startup as a separate improvement. Do not block the patch for it. + +### Prefer loud failure over silent security degradation + +Never suggest a guard or conditional that skips a security operation (credential validation, signature verification, access checks, image validation) to "fix" a potential crash on bad input. A `TypeError` or `FileNotFoundError` on operator misconfiguration is **always better** than silently degrading a security property. If code crashes because a required security credential is missing, that is correct behavior — flag it at most as a config-validation improvement opportunity, not as a bug in the patch. Do not propose `if value:` guards around security operations unless you have confirmed that the unguarded path is reachable under **valid** configuration. + +## Writing Style + +Follow these guidelines when generating review artifacts: + +### Be Specific + +- Cite file paths and line numbers for every finding +- Reference exact Glance conventions or documentation sections +- Provide concrete examples of both the problem and the fix + +### Distinguish Severity + +- **Blockers**: Multi-tenant isolation violations, database migration issues, missing required tests, architectural misfit +- **Suggestions**: Performance optimizations, edge case handling, better error messages +- **Nits**: Minor naming or formatting preferences + +### Reference In-Tree Documentation + +- Link to `doc/source/contributor/` for contribution guidelines +- Reference Glance's in-tree docs rather than duplicating rules +- If docs are incomplete, suggest improving them upstream + +### Be Constructive + +- Suggest fixes, not just problems +- Explain **why** something is an issue, not just **what** the rule says +- Assume good intent - the author is trying to improve Glance + +### Keep Summaries Scannable + +- Top-level summary must be 1-2 sentences +- Busy reviewers should understand the verdict in seconds +- Details belong in separate sections, not the summary
