Summary

  • EnsureCustomTypes() trusted the sentinel file without verifying the database actually had types.custom configured
  • If bd config set exited 0 but silently failed to write (wrong DB, redirect mismatch, server restart), the sentinel cached a lie — all future calls skipped re-configuration
  • This caused gt sling to fail with invalid issue type: agent on rigs where the database was recreated but the sentinel survived
  • Fix: after bd config set, run bd config get types.custom to verify the value contains agent before writing the sentinel

Fixes #2637

Test plan

  • New test: TestEnsureCustomTypes_VerifyPersistence — verifies sentinel is NOT written when bd config get returns empty
  • Existing tests pass (mock bd updated to return types on config get types.custom)
  • Manually verified fix on live system: 28 rig databases were missing types.custom and got fixed

fix: verify types.custom persisted before writing sentinel (GH#2637)
85bf796 
EnsureCustomTypes() trusted the sentinel file without verifying the
database actually had types.custom configured. If bd config set exited 0
but failed to write (wrong DB, redirect mismatch, server down), the
sentinel cached a lie and all future calls skipped re-configuration.

This caused gt sling to fail with "invalid issue type: agent" on rigs
where the database was recreated but the sentinel file survived.

Fix: after bd config set, verify with bd config get that types.custom
contains "agent" before writing the sentinel.
