Fix four bugs in repair plans built in the HTML report

[mason-sharp]

• apply_from, coalesce_priority and the pick_freshest tie got node names, but table-repair only understands n1 and n2, the first and second node of each pair. With other node names table-repair rejected the plan, and for a pair such as n2/n3 a node name could be read as the wrong node of the pair.
• A plan built from some selected rows kept default_action keep_n1, so the rows not selected were repaired too, and one missing on n1 made table-repair reject the plan. It now has default_action skip and a comment that says the plan covers only the selected rows.
• YAML reads U+0085, U+2028 and U+2029 as line breaks. JSON.stringify leaves all three as they are, and Go's json.Marshal leaves U+0085. In a comment, any of them ended the comment and the rest of the text became part of the plan; in a quoted string, U+0085 became a space, so a key named another row. The plan now writes all three as \u escapes.
• A row's chosen action was looked up with its raw key in a CSS selector. A key with a quote made the plan build fail, and one with a backslash matched no control, so the plan silently used the default action. The key now goes through CSS.escape.

The Node.js test harness gets a stand-in for the browser's CSS object, which Node.js lacks, and can now give the page selected rows and chosen actions. Its stub document has a control only for a selector built with CSS.escape, so the test for keys with quotes fails without the fix.

With three or more nodes, a plan that table-repair used to reject because of the node names can now run. In a truncated report, its rules can then also match a row that the report hides in another pair, which is the known limit the docs describe. A separate change handles that.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The HTML repair-plan generator now handles partial row selections, uses n1 and n2 for plan node references, escapes YAML line-break characters, and retrieves row actions for keys containing quotes or backslashes.

Changes

HTML Repair Plan

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Plan generation and output pkg/common/templates/diff_report.js, internal/consistency/repair/html_plan_e2e_test.go, docs/CHANGELOG.md	Partial selections use a skip default. Generated plan actions use n1 and n2, and YAML output escapes U+0085, U+2028, and U+2029. Tests cover these behaviors and normalized key types.
Row action lookup and custom actions pkg/common/templates/diff_report.js, pkg/common/html_reporter.go, internal/consistency/repair/html_plan_e2e_test.go, docs/CHANGELOG.md	Row-action and editor selectors escape keys with CSS.escape. Custom actions map report node labels to plan node identifiers. Tests cover node names and keys containing quotes or backslashes.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3a26c

The repair-plan fixes look sound and are covered by tests. Before merging, switch the test's exec.Command call to exec.CommandContext, or the lint check may fail CI.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3a26c

The fixes improve action selection and escaping, but newly runnable multi-node plans can also affect matching rows outside the selected or visible node pair. Applying a plan still requires database repair privileges, limiting exposure to the target table and accessible nodes.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Corrected positional node identifiers make some previously rejected multi-node plans executable without binding their rules to the selected node pair. A selected or visible key can therefore authorize repair of an unselected or report-hidden occurrence in another pair. The underlying pair-agnostic contract is pre-existing, but this PR expands its executable exposure; default_action: skip does not constrain explicit matches.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated exposure is matching rows of the target table across executable node pairs in the supplied full diff, potentially involving every accessible node represented there. A data writer able to influence a selected key or its occurrence in other pairs could influence additional repair candidates when a privileged operator applies the plan; this is not evidence of unauthenticated access or new database privileges.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A visible missing-row action previously emitted an arbitrary report node name and could be rejected. It now emits a valid positional source. If another pair contains a hidden occurrence matching the generated instruction, execution can insert that row into the other pair's missing side even though it was not visible or separately selected. Documentation and the skip default do not enforce pair isolation.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Selector escaping preserves lookup of controls for special-character keys, and YAML line-break escaping prevents those characters from changing comment boundaries or quoted key identity. Before repair, the task checks diff schema/table identity, plan table membership, and database privileges. Mutation SQL sanitizes identifiers and parameterizes row values. These controls do not bind an explicit instruction to its originating pair.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Generated actions omit allow_stale_repairs, whose executor default permits stale repairs. The existing timestamp filter therefore does not automatically protect these actions against intervening row changes. Per-node and per-origin-batch commits limit rollback containment. These mechanisms predate the fixes and are contextual recovery limitations, not separately established new vulnerabilities.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Bind generated selection identity and executable instructions to a node pair, with consumer-side enforcement. Until that contract exists, constrain multi-pair exports rather than treating skip as a selection-scope guarantee. Validate the boundary with a hidden duplicate-key fixture across multiple pairs.

As for me, these efforts on the HTML report highlighted two basic questions:

1. Why is it happening at all? I can imagine a fatal crash and cluster break that causes last minute difference. But if all works nicely and replication comes to an end, it seems like a bug in the eventual consistency algorithm.
2. Manual decision on what to apply might not satisfy triggers, any cross-column or table rules that might mean inconsistency of the database. Allowing such things to happen we open a hole in the database's basic function - keep data consistent.
