The upgrade contract is that a customer installs each stack major version in order, derived from the version numbers alone so nothing has to publish a catalog or maintain a floor per release. What that rule needs in exchange is that a major boundary is actually cut whenever a candidate contains something a customer cannot safely skip past. That is not decidable by eye. A stack-pin diff is a list of chart versions moving, and nothing in "1.5.3 -> 2.0.0" says a migration landed. In a monorepo the evidence is computable instead, which also means it cannot be forgotten the way a declaration written in a pull request months earlier can. Additive migrations never qualify: golang-migrate applies the ordered set per keyspace, so a cluster many versions behind still arrives at the right schema. Destructive migrations and deleted migration files do, because a drop is unrecoverable without a restore and a deleted migration is how a compatibility bridge stops shipping. Comments are stripped before classifying. nvcf_api/03_init_tables.up.sql documents a "high-churn write/delete workload" above a CREATE TABLE, and a classifier reading raw text calls that destructive. Run over the current corpus the classifier finds exactly the four real drops and leaves the other 38 files additive. The baseline is the stack's last release tag rather than the pinned migrations image, because the stack does not pin that image yet (#1976).

…heck Comment stripping only handled `--`, so a DROP inside a block comment or a CQL string literal read as executable. Both fail in the over-strict direction: they would have blocked a legitimate non-major release over SQL the database never runs. stripComments now scans line comments, block comments and quoted strings, emitting a space for each so removing one cannot weld two tokens into a third. The doubled-quote escape is handled, without which the scanner stays inside a string and misses every statement after it. A rename recorded only the new path, as Modified. Renaming a migration away therefore produced no Deleted change and Decide would permit a non-major release even though the old migration no longer ships. Renames now emit a delete for the old path and a change for the new one. Copies do not, because a copy leaves its source in place. The early return for a stack with no migration paths printed text before the JSON branch, so --json emitted non-JSON for the compute-plane and observability stacks. Both paths now go through one emit(), and the report carries `checked` so a consumer can tell "no schema shipped" from "no changes". None of the three is reachable from the current corpus: no migration uses a block comment, a string literal, or a rename. They were all live paths into a wrong answer.

Good question — the comment was asserting the conclusion without showing the cost. Rewritten with a worked case.
The check needs two sides: a baseline to measure from and a proposal to measure. On a pull request origin/main is the baseline and the branch is the proposal. On a push to main the commits have already merged, so origin/main..HEAD is empty and there is no proposal left to judge — the job would compare main against itself and always report nothing.
The concrete case now in the comment: a branch that adds migrations/cassandra/keyspaces/nvct_api/05_drop_health_info.up.sql carrying only fix: commits fails this job, because dropping a column cannot be skipped past and so needs a major, while fix asks for a patch. That is exactly the mistake the job exists to catch, and it is only catchable while it is still a proposal.
Also worth flagging since it changes what you approved: this PR now also carries the upgrade receipt itself (the chart, its RBAC, and a 04- helmfile stage), not just the CI check. That was the gap — a version check that never records what a cluster installed does not make upgrades work.

An upgrade has to know where it is starting from, and nothing in a cluster carries that today. Helm tracks chart versions per release; helmfile has no concept of the bundle's own version. So every cluster looks identical at upgrade time, and a gate has no basis to decide whether the jump it has been asked to make is one it can make safely. This writes a nvcf-upgrade-receipt ConfigMap naming the stack version that was installed. Only the writer ships here. The validating hook belongs in the release that first has something to validate against, and a writer cannot block an upgrade whereas a checker that misjudges can break every existing customer. Shipping it on the 1.0 line is the point. A cluster that reaches 2.0.0 with no receipt is indistinguishable from a 0.x install, which leaves a gate choosing between refusing everybody and checking nothing. Once any 1.x records a version, absence becomes a refusal that names a version the customer can actually install. The hook is post-install and post-upgrade, not pre-*: a receipt must not claim a version before that version has been applied. post-upgrade alone would skip the first cluster to receive this chart, because Helm runs post-install where no prior release exists -- precisely the clusters this exists for. Ordering is a stage boundary rather than a needs: edge. Under the helmfile version this stack pins, needs: places a release in a later DAG layer where it waits on every peer in the previous one, and one slow or failed peer silently skips it; see the admin-issuer-proxy comment in 02-core.yaml.gotmpl. A new last-numbered stage gets the ordering without that failure mode. The chart is local to the bundle rather than pulled from the registry, so the receipt works the moment this merges instead of waiting on a chart publish.

The previous comment asserted that a push to main has no baseline without showing what that costs, which is not enough to judge whether the guard is right. Review asked for a concrete case, so it now carries one: a branch adding a DROP migration under only `fix:` commits is what this job is there to stop, and the same commits on main would compare main against itself.

dedicated delete-only identity and helper resources for this hook, ensuring it
removes the Role, RoleBinding, and ServiceAccount plus the cleanup helpers

The Role granted get, create and patch on every ConfigMap in the namespace, so anything able to run a pod under this ServiceAccount could rewrite unrelated ConfigMaps for as long as the binding existed. The Job only ever touches one object. get and patch now name that object through resourceNames. create stays unscoped in a rule of its own, because RBAC matches resourceNames against an object that does not exist yet and so never satisfies a create rule that names one; keeping it separate leaves the unscoped verb visible rather than buried alongside the scoped ones.

Two halves of making stack upgrades safe: the cluster records what it installed, and CI stops a release whose schema changes outrun its version bump. Closes #1975, closes #1977.
Backported to the 1.0 line as #2012, since clusters already on 1.0.0 are the ones that most need a receipt.
The receipt
Nothing in a cluster records which stack version it is running. Helm tracks chart versions per release; helmfile has no concept of the bundle's own version. So every cluster looks identical at upgrade time and a gate has no basis to decide anything.
A local chart renders a Job that writes a
nvcf-upgrade-receiptConfigMap naming the installed version, with the ServiceAccount, Role and RoleBinding it needs —get,create,patchon configmaps, nothing else.Only the writer ships here. The validating hook belongs in the release that first has something to validate against, and a writer cannot block an upgrade whereas a checker that misjudges can break every existing customer.
Three decisions worth review:
