fix(mcp): consume the control plane's legacy mcp_access mode tombstone - #1002
Conversation
The layered ACL reshaped api_keys.mcp_access in place: the projected block lost the `mode` selector that 0.9.x requires, so a newer control plane's write makes a 0.9.x data plane fail the row and drop the whole api_key — the key stops authenticating for every kind of traffic, breaking the CP-first upgrade order. The control plane now projects a dual-generation document: the layered shape plus a '"mode": "deny"' tombstone, which 0.9.x reads as a valid deny-mode block (row loads, MCP fail-closed for the window). This side adds McpAccess::legacy_mode to consume the tombstone: any JSON shape accepted, never re-serialized, hidden from the schemas (strict writes still reject 'mode'), and not reported as partial compat. AGENTS.md gains the general rule: never change a projected field's shape or value domain in place.

The layered MCP ACL (#992/#993) reshaped
api_keys.mcp_accessin place: the projected block no longer carriesmode, which the 0.9.x releases require — so once a newer control plane writes a key, a 0.9.x data plane fails the row and drops the whole api_key, and the key stops authenticating for every kind of traffic. That breaks the supported upgrade order (control plane first, data planes after, with an arbitrarily long mixed-version window).Fix: the control plane now projects a dual-generation document — the layered shape plus a
"mode": "deny"tombstone. On 0.9.x that is a valid deny-mode block, so the row loads and the key keeps working, with MCP access fail-closed for the window (matching the other 0.9.x defaults: keys without a block and policies it cannot read also resolve to no MCP access there). This side addsMcpAccess::legacy_mode, a consumed-and-ignored field for the tombstone: any JSON shape is accepted so a malformed tombstone can never kill the row, it never re-serializes, it stays out of the published schemas (the strict write path still rejectsmode), and it stops the loader from reporting the tombstone as partial compat on every key. Publishedschemas/resources/*.jsonare byte-identical.AGENTS.md codifies the underlying rule: never change a projected field's shape or value domain in place — ship a new field name, or a same-name dual-generation document when the keys don't collide, and gate new enum values in the control plane.
Tests: serde unit (tombstone consumed / ignored / not re-emitted / malformed tolerated), strict-vs-lenient schema assertions on the hybrid document, a loader test pinning zero partial-compat rows for it, and an e2e case running the exact CP-projected hybrid document against a real gateway + etcd + two MCP upstreams.
The CP half (emitting the tombstone, re-projecting once, compat-gate reclassification, and a projection guard against the previous release's schemas) ships separately in AISIX-Cloud.
