Second slice of the compliance "data freshness" work (ROX-35712). It populates the data_freshness column through write-time events. There is no background sweeper in this slice (that is the next one).
1. CURRENT on a genuinely new result. The datastore's UpsertResult marks a check result CURRENT when it reflects a real new scan run, so fresh data reads as fresh immediately.
2. Prior-only STALE on timeout. When a scan times out, the report manager marks STALE only the results the timed-out run did NOT refresh — the rows whose LastStartedTime predates the run's start time. Results the run did refresh carry the run's start time and stay unchanged. A result row is reused across runs (its ID is the compliance operator check result UID), so marking the whole scan's results stale would flag fresh overwrites as stale.
3. KeyFence around both write paths. Freshness lives inside the serialized proto, so both UpsertResult and the timeout hook do a read-modify-upsert of the whole row, and the read must be part of the same atomic critical section as the write — a comparison decided from a read taken before a concurrent write, then applied after it, can silently revert that write even though the final write itself is lock-protected. This follows the CVE unsupressor precedent (central/cve/node/datastore).
Scope / known gap (no sweeper yet)
Without the background sweeper, a check result cannot decay from CURRENT to STALE on its own — only an explicit event can move it. In this slice the only such event is a scan timeout. The silent-decay case — a schedule that stalls, a sensor that stays disconnected, where no event ever fires — is NOT covered until the sweeper slice lands. That slice adds the time-driven CURRENT -> STALE transition.
Considered alternative
For the timeout hook we also considered marking all existing results stale at scan START and letting arrivals flip them back to CURRENT. Rejected: it flaps freshness on every normal scan and needs reliable scan-start detection. The chosen approach runs only on a real timeout and reuses a signal already in hand (the run's start time).
Populate the data_freshness column through two write-time events, gated
on the ComplianceSurfaceStaleData feature flag:
- CURRENT on receive: the results pipeline marks a check result CURRENT
right before upsert, so new data reads as fresh immediately.
- Prior-only STALE on timeout: when a scan times out, the report manager
marks STALE only the results the timed-out run did NOT refresh
(LastStartedTime older than the run's start time). Results the run did
refresh are genuinely fresh and are left unchanged. Marking the whole
scan's results stale was wrong (the same row is reused across runs, so
it would flag fresh overwrites as stale).
Both write paths mutate freshness inside the serialized proto, so they
do a read-modify-upsert. A concurrent ingest and the timeout hook could
otherwise revert each other (lost update). A per-row KeyFence on the
check-result IDs serializes the ingest upsert against the timeout hook's
read-modify-upsert, mirroring the CVE suppress precedent.
Scope note: without a background sweeper (next slice), data cannot decay
from CURRENT to STALE except through an explicit event (a scan timeout).
The silent-decay case (schedule stalls, sensor permanently disconnected,
no event ever fires) is not covered until the sweeper lands.
Considered alternative for the timeout hook: mark all existing results
stale at scan start and let arrivals flip them back to CURRENT. Rejected
because it flaps freshness on every normal scan and needs reliable
scan-start detection. The chosen approach runs only on a real timeout
and reuses a signal already in hand (the run's start time).
Tests: unit (CURRENT-on-receive pipeline test, timeout mark-stale
manager test) and sql_integration (prior-only STALE, plus a concurrency
regression test proving the KeyFence stops the ingest and timeout hook
from reverting each other - verified to fail without the fence).

Summary
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
When stale-data tracking is enabled, results from timed-out scans are marked stale if they predate the scan’s start time. Newly received results are marked current when their start time is newer than the stored result.
Bug Fixes
Freshness updates preserve results that have since been refreshed, including when a timeout update overlaps with a new result. Results from other scans are unaffected, and replayed results retain their existing freshness. Empty scan references and repeated stale updates do not change results.
The change adds freshness-aware result writes and stale marking for compliance results. When stale-data handling is enabled, the pipeline uses freshness-aware writes. After an eligible scan timeout, the report manager asks the datastore to mark earlier results for that scan as stale.

Review follow-up: "received" does not always mean "new". Sensor
resends every existing CheckResult CR on reconnect regardless of
whether anything changed (compliance resources are not deduplicated),
and a misbehaving compliance operator could republish a result without
a real rescan behind it. In both cases LastStartedTime (parsed from
the operator's own last-scanned-timestamp annotation) is unchanged, so
marking it CURRENT unconditionally would launder stale data as fresh.
There is no sweeper in this slice to correct that later, unlike the
original PoC design, so the gap had to be closed here.
Before marking CURRENT, compare the incoming LastStartedTime against
the currently stored row (if any): only a strictly newer timestamp (or
no prior row at all) counts as a genuinely new scan result. Otherwise
the row's existing freshness is carried forward unchanged, since the
freshly built proto would otherwise default to UNKNOWN and wipe out
the prior value on upsert.
Added a regression test for the replay case (verified to fail without
the fix: wants the stale row's freshness preserved, previously got
CURRENT), plus a test for the newer-than-stored case.

Review findings (CodeRabbit + an independent adversarial review)
on #23765: the freshness-on-receive comparison read the existing row
via GetComplianceCheckResult outside the KeyFence, then wrote the
decision later through UpsertResult inside the fence. Two problems
followed from that gap between read and write:
1. A replayed result (same LastStartedTime, so not genuinely new)
could be decided from a read that predates a concurrent timeout
marking, then overwrite that marking's STALE value when it finally
wrote -- the lock only protected the write, not the read-decide-write
sequence as a whole.
2. On a lookup error, the code fell back to UNKNOWN and still
proceeded to upsert, silently replacing a known CURRENT/STALE value
with UNKNOWN instead of aborting.
Fix: move the comparison into the datastore, behind a new
UpsertReceivedResult method that reads the existing row, derives
data_freshness, and upserts -- all inside the same per-row KeyFence
critical section already used by MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef. The
two can no longer interleave: whichever one's critical section runs
second sees the other's result, so a replay converges on the
timeout's STALE value instead of reverting it. A lookup error now
aborts before any write.
The pipeline's role shrinks to routing: call UpsertReceivedResult when
the flag is on, plain UpsertResult otherwise. Its freshness-derivation
tests move to the datastore level, where the logic now lives; added a
regression test that races UpsertReceivedResult (a replay) against
MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef (a timeout) and asserts the result
converges to STALE regardless of interleaving -- verified to fail
deterministically (5/5) against the prior unfenced-read code, passes
with the fix. Also added a start barrier to the existing concurrency
regression test so both sides are guaranteed to be running before
either does real work, instead of relying on incidental scheduling
overlap.
Two other findings from the adversarial review were checked and don't
hold: the scan's LastStartedTime used as the timeout pivot cannot be
nil in practice (GetWatcherIDFromScan rejects a scan with a nil start
time before a watcher is ever created for it, so handleReadyScan never
sees one), and the feature-flag env var set via T().Setenv() is read
live by features.X.Enabled() (confirmed: none of the flag-gated tests
skip).
This code was partially generated by AI (opencode), including review
by independent AI agents (CodeRabbit, and an adversarial Opus-model
review) whose findings drove this fix.

Keep the scan-reference check in the fenced re-read.
The sensor uses the result UID as Id and derives ScanRefId from a mutable scan-name label. If the same UID is received with scan reference B after timeout scan A collects its candidate, GetMany returns B because it filters only by ID. The timestamp check can then mark B STALE for A’s timeout.

Preserve the stored LastStartedTime for older replays.
When an older result reaches UpsertReceivedResult, freshnessOnReceive preserves DataFreshness, but d.store.Upsert(ctx, result) still persists the older timestamp. PostgreSQL replaces LastStartedTime with that incoming value. A later timeout can then mark the newer run STALE because its stored timestamp now precedes the timeout pivot.
Preserve the stored timestamp whenever the incoming timestamp is not newer. Add a regression test that asserts both DataFreshness and LastStartedTime remain unchanged after an older replay.

Minor · Return CURRENT for a first-seen result with nil LastStartedTime. · datastore_impl.go:96-102
Return CURRENT for a first-seen result with nil LastStartedTime.
The !found branch returns UNKNOWN when LastStartedTime is nil. The UpsertReceivedResult contract says a first-seen result is CURRENT. The PR objectives also state CURRENT for the no-prior-row case. This branch returns a different value from both.
A nil timestamp reaches this branch. The sensor copies annotations without checking LastScannedAnnotationKey. The converter discards the parse error and assigns nil. When reporting is disabled, HandleResult returns before it validates the result. The pipeline still calls UpsertReceivedResult when ComplianceSurfaceStaleData is enabled. A first-seen result in that configuration is stored as UNKNOWN instead of CURRENT.
Suggested fix
if !found {
// A result with no prior history cannot be a stale replay.
if started == nil {
- return storage.ComplianceOperatorCheckResultV2_UNKNOWN+ return storage.ComplianceOperatorCheckResultV2_CURRENT
}
Add a regression case to the existing UpsertReceivedResult tests. The case should use an incoming result with nil LastStartedTime and no stored row. It should assert CURRENT. Keep older-timestamp persistence out of that case.

Handle result-first timeouts before using the scan pivot.
A result can create a watcher without setting scanWatcherResult.Scan. When that watcher times out, GetLastStartedTime().AsTime() converts the unset timestamp to the Unix epoch, and MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef receives an empty scan reference. It therefore marks no prior results stale. Guard this hook against an unset scan and add a regression test for a result-first timeout.

Further CodeRabbit findings on #23765:
1. (Major) UpsertReceivedResult preserved DataFreshness on a replay but
still upserted the whole incoming object, including its own
LastStartedTime. An out-of-order or duplicate delivery carrying an
OLDER LastStartedTime than what is stored would regress the stored
timestamp, and a later timeout's age-based STALE decision
(LastStartedTime < pivot) could then wrongly flag a genuinely
fresh row stale. Fixed by folding the LastStartedTime decision into
the same reconciliation as DataFreshness (renamed freshnessOnReceive
to reconcileReceivedResult, now mutating both fields together under
one comparison): a replay or older/nil incoming timestamp clamps
LastStartedTime to the stored value instead of overwriting it.
Verified the regression test fails without the fix (stored timestamp
regressed) and passes with it.
2. (Minor) Flagged the !found-and-nil-timestamp branch returning
UNKNOWN instead of CURRENT, citing UpsertReceivedResult's own doc
comment ("CURRENT when it has no prior stored row"). Evaluated and
NOT changed: with no sweeper in this slice, a wrongly-asserted
CURRENT for a row with no timestamp would have no way back, because
MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef explicitly leaves nil-timestamp rows
unchanged forever. UNKNOWN is the safer choice and self-corrects on
the next update that does carry a timestamp. Fixed the actual
inconsistency in the doc comment instead (datastore.go), and added
a regression test for this exact branch.
3. (Minor) A watcher created from a check result alone (before its
scan update ever arrives, see GetWatcherIDFromCheckResult) can time
out with Scan never set. The timeout hook's epoch-pivot and
empty-scan-ref calculation from a nil Scan happened to no-op through
MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef's existing empty-ref guard, but
silently -- a future change to that guard could turn a nil Scan
into real misbehavior. Added an explicit guard with a debug log, and
a regression test asserting MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef is never
called in this case. Verified it fails without the guard
(unexpected call with the 1970 epoch pivot and empty scan ref).
Also fixed a related, still-open finding from an earlier review round
on the same PR (MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef's fenced re-read did
not re-check ScanRefId, so a check result whose scan-name label changed
between the initial candidate scan and the fenced re-read could have
its STALE decision wrongly driven by a different scan's pivot): added
a scanRefId equality check inside the want callback.
Added TestUpsertReceivedResult (sql_integration), a non-concurrent
test exercising all of reconcileReceivedResult's branches directly at
the datastore level, closing a coverage gap left when the logic moved
out of the (previously mock-tested) pipeline layer in 732480e.
This code was partially generated by AI (opencode), addressing further
CodeRabbit review findings on the same PR.
"Preserve the stored LastStartedTime for older replays" (Major) — confirmed and fixed. Folded the LastStartedTime decision into the same reconciliation as DataFreshness (reconcileReceivedResult, replacing freshnessOnReceive): a replay or an older/nil incoming timestamp now clamps LastStartedTime to the stored value instead of letting Upsert persist the regressed one. Added TestUpsertReceivedResult, verified to fail without the fix (stored timestamp regressed) and pass with it.
"Return CURRENT for a first-seen result with nil LastStartedTime" (Minor) — evaluated, not changed. With no sweeper in this slice, a wrongly-asserted CURRENT for a timestamp-less row has no way back: MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef explicitly leaves nil-timestamp rows unchanged forever. UNKNOWN is the safer default and self-corrects on the next update that does carry a timestamp. Fixed the actual inconsistency instead — the doc comment overclaimed "CURRENT when no prior row"; it's now explicit about the nil-timestamp exception. Added a regression test covering this exact branch.
"Handle result-first timeouts before using the scan pivot" (Minor) — confirmed and fixed. A watcher created from a check result alone (before its Scan update ever arrives) can time out with Scan unset; added an explicit guard (with a debug log) instead of relying on the empty-scan-ref no-op happening to hold. Added a regression test, verified to fail without the guard (unexpected call with the 1970 epoch pivot and empty scan ref).
Also fixed a still-open finding from an earlier review round on this PR (datastore_impl.go, "keep the scan-reference check in the fenced re-read"): MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef's fenced re-read now re-checks ScanRefId, so a result whose scan-name label changed between the initial candidate scan and the fenced re-read can't have its STALE decision driven by a different scan's pivot.

@guzalv Thanks. I inspected d7750e42 and confirmed the reported changes:
reconcileReceivedResult preserves stored DataFreshness and LastStartedTime for equal, older, or nil-timestamp replays. The regression tests assert both fields.
handleReadyScan skips stale marking when Scan is nil. A regression test covers this timeout case.
MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef rechecks ScanRefId in the decision callback used for the fenced re-read.
I withdraw the suggestion to mark first-seen, nil-timestamp results CURRENT. UNKNOWN is appropriate because freshness cannot be evaluated without a timestamp. The updated interface comment and regression test make this exception explicit.
This was source inspection only. I did not run the tests or independently verify the reported race-test results.

… helper to markStale
Remove the separate UpsertReceivedResult interface method and consolidate
freshness derivation into UpsertResult (gated by feature flag). Rename the
private helper updateFreshness → markStale and change its callback signature
from returning a DataFreshness enum to a bool predicate shouldStale. This
makes the helper's purpose explicit: it only flips rows to STALE, never to
any other state. The generic-over-any-freshness-value signature was
misleading since the helper was only ever used for STALE marking.
Also simplify reconcileReceivedResult to only preserve DataFreshness from
the existing row on replays, removing the LastStartedTime clamping logic
(timestamp regression on out-of-order replays is now accepted as documented
in test comments - a rare case corrected by the next scan).
Originating request: "Refactor the private freshness helper so it only marks
rows STALE (rename updateFreshness -> markStale, change the callback to a
bool predicate), since it only ever flips rows to STALE and the
generic-over-any-value signature was misleading."

Remove the feature flag routing in the pipeline that switched between
UpsertReceivedResult and UpsertResult. Since UpsertResult now handles
freshness derivation internally (when the feature flag is enabled), the
pipeline can always call it unconditionally. This consolidates the
datastore interface and simplifies the pipeline layer.
Update the test to reflect the unified interface - rename from
TestRunCreateUsesUpsertReceivedResultWhenFreshnessEnabled to
TestRunCreatePopulatesLastStartedTime, focusing on what the pipeline is
responsible for (populating the timestamp field) rather than which
datastore method it routes to.

…check
Rename the datastore method MarkStalePriorResultsByScanRef to
MarkScanChecksStale across the interface, implementation, generated mock,
callers, and tests.
Drop the scan-ref re-check inside the markStale callback. The query already
filters by scan ref, and the Compliance Operator never moves an existing
check result (same UID) to a different scan: the scan-name label that
ScanRefId derives from is pinned to the object name and is rewritten together
with the last-scanned timestamp on every scan write. So a row that predates
olderThan always belongs to this scan. Verified against the operator source.
Also simplify the ID-collection comment in markStale.

A scan watcher can be created, and time out, from a check result alone before
any Scan update arrives (see GetWatcherIDFromCheckResult). The timeout handler
scoped the staleness marking only from the Scan object, so in this result-first
case it skipped MarkScanChecksStale entirely and left the un-refreshed prior
results mislabeled CURRENT.
The scope needed (scan ref + run start time) is already available from the
check results that did arrive: all results of a watcher share the scan ref, and
the watcher tracks the run's start time. Carry both on ScanWatcherResults and
fall back to them when Scan is nil. Skip only when neither source yields a
scope (a timeout with no results at all). The pivot is this run's start time, so
only genuinely prior results (LastStartedTime < pivot) are marked; the fresh
arrivals are untouched.
User request: a watcher can be created and time out from a check result alone,
so 20 results can arrive, 60 not, and the Scan never arrive. We should mark the
previous results stale in that case rather than skip. Fix it rather than ship a
broken feature.

Adversarial review found that the timeout handler read the pivot from the Scan
object when present. If a newer run's result reset the watcher after the Scan
was recorded (the "should never happen" sanity reset in handleResult), the Scan
still held the older start time while the watcher's tracked start time had
advanced. Marking stale with the stale Scan pivot would leave the superseded
run's results CURRENT.
Make the watcher-recorded scope the single source of truth: both handleScan and
handleResult now record scan ref + start time via recordScope, keyed off
s.lastStartedTime which both keep current. The manager prefers the recorded
scope and falls back to the Scan object only when nothing was recorded. This
also reads cleaner than deriving the scope from a possibly-nil Scan.
Not a regression (the pre-PR timeout path marked nothing) and self-heals on the
next successful scan, but it is a real divergence in the path this PR adds.
Addresses review finding M1. Added tests: TestHandleReadyScanPrefersRecordedScope-
OverStaleScan (manager) and TestScanWatcherNewerResultAfterScanUpdatesScope
(watcher).

The timeout branch read the staleness scope (scan ref + pivot start time)
from the watcher-recorded fields, then fell back to the Scan object. The
watcher's recordScope always populates those fields before any timeout, so
the Scan fallback was reachable only from tests that built ScanWatcherResults
literals without a recorded scope. Drop it; the existing nil-scope skip still
guards the impossible-in-production empty case.
Also rename the log-only scanName variable to displayID (it falls back to the
watcher ID, which is not a scan name) and trim the now-inaccurate comment.
Request: "remove the test-only Scan fallback, clarify scanName=WatcherID, make
the timeout branch clearer and trim comments."

Description
Second slice of the compliance "data freshness" work (ROX-35712). It populates the
data_freshnesscolumn through write-time events. There is no background sweeper in this slice (that is the next one).1. CURRENT on a genuinely new result. The datastore's
UpsertResultmarks a check resultCURRENTwhen it reflects a real new scan run, so fresh data reads as fresh immediately.2. Prior-only STALE on timeout. When a scan times out, the report manager marks
STALEonly the results the timed-out run did NOT refresh — the rows whoseLastStartedTimepredates the run's start time. Results the run did refresh carry the run's start time and stay unchanged. A result row is reused across runs (its ID is the compliance operator check result UID), so marking the whole scan's results stale would flag fresh overwrites as stale.3. KeyFence around both write paths. Freshness lives inside the serialized proto, so both
UpsertResultand the timeout hook do a read-modify-upsert of the whole row, and the read must be part of the same atomic critical section as the write — a comparison decided from a read taken before a concurrent write, then applied after it, can silently revert that write even though the final write itself is lock-protected. This follows the CVE unsupressor precedent (central/cve/node/datastore).Scope / known gap (no sweeper yet)
Without the background sweeper, a check result cannot decay from
CURRENTtoSTALEon its own — only an explicit event can move it. In this slice the only such event is a scan timeout. The silent-decay case — a schedule that stalls, a sensor that stays disconnected, where no event ever fires — is NOT covered until the sweeper slice lands. That slice adds the time-drivenCURRENT -> STALEtransition.Considered alternative
For the timeout hook we also considered marking all existing results stale at scan START and letting arrivals flip them back to
CURRENT. Rejected: it flaps freshness on every normal scan and needs reliable scan-start detection. The chosen approach runs only on a real timeout and reuses a signal already in hand (the run's start time).User-facing documentation
No CHANGELOG entry: the behavior is flag-gated and there is no new API surface in this slice.
