Phase 1 of Support RegEx as an Alternative to Doublestar: the shared regex engine plus the two surfaces that need no migration — tag retention and tag immutability. PR 1 of a stack; phase 2 (replication, #753) and phase 3 (P2P preheat, #754) follow.

What's in here

  • New selector kind regex (src/lib/selector/selectors/regexp): Go stdlib RE2, full-string matching (same semantics as doublestar), 512-character cap, compile-once with an anchoring-escape guard, same six decorations and untagged handling as doublestar.
  • Write-time validation for retention and immutability: unknown kind, unsupported decoration or a pattern that does not compile is rejected with 400 at rule save. The immutability controller validated nothing before.
  • GET /retentions/metadatas advertises the new kind; both add-rule dialogs get an engine selector (default Doublestar) with kind-aware input handling; i18n in all 10 locales.
  • Fail-closed fix: populateImmutableStatus swallowed matcher errors, leaving supposedly immutable tags silently re-pushable whenever a rule could not be evaluated (e.g. after a core rollback). A tag whose immutable status cannot be determined is now reported immutable, with the cause logged.

Notes

  • The kind literal is regex, harmonized with community#280 and lib/pattern.
  • Two deliberate deviations from the proposal, both to keep the diff small: lazy compile instead of widening selector.Factory (write-time validation makes runtime compile errors unreachable), and the metadata payload extended additively rather than rewired to index.Index() (keeps the existing response byte-identical).
  • No schema change, no DB migration. Doublestar stays the default; existing rules behave identically. Downgrade: a regex rule on an older core fails loudly, never silently misinterprets.

Testing

Unit coverage for the engine (anchoring incl. the foo)|(?:bar escape guard, cap, decorations, untagged), validation matrices for both surfaces, and three revert-verified regression tests for the fail-closed fix. CI green including both DB shards; portal build, lint and specs green.

Release Notes

Tag retention and tag immutability rules can now use regular expressions: choose RegEx next to any pattern field (Doublestar remains the default) to express rules like "keep exactly v<major>.<minor>.<patch>" that globs cannot. Patterns are validated when the rule is saved, and an immutability rule that cannot be evaluated now blocks tag overwrites instead of silently allowing them.

Adds a second, user-selectable pattern engine next to doublestar for the
retention and immutability selector surfaces (phase 1 of goharbor/community#298).

- new selector kind "regexp" in src/lib/selector/selectors/regexp, registered
  with the same decorations and untagged semantics as doublestar; patterns are
  anchored as \A(?:p)\z so they carry the same full string meaning as
  doublestar.Match, an empty pattern matches everything and a pattern is capped
  at 512 characters
- write time validation: an unregistered kind, an unsupported decoration or a
  pattern that does not compile is rejected with 400 when the policy is saved,
  for retention via ValidateRetentionPolicy and for immutability via the
  controller, which validated nothing before
- the dead beego Match(doublestar) tags on the two selector models accept both
  kinds now
- GET /retentions/metadatas advertises the new kind additively
- portal: an engine selector per pattern field in both add rule forms, driven
  by the metadata entries, and the doublestar specific brace wrapping of comma
  lists is skipped for regexp so quantifiers such as {2,3} survive

Doublestar stays the default; existing rules are unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds regex selectors for retention and immutable-tag rules. It validates selector patterns before persistence, exposes regex metadata, updates portal rule editors, adds localization keys, and makes immutable tag status fail closed.

Changes

Regex selector support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Regex selector engine and registration
src/lib/selector/selectors/regexp/*, src/lib/selector/selectors/index/*
Regex selectors support anchored matching, tag, repository, and namespace decorations, untagged handling, cached compilation, pattern limits, and selector validation.
Retention and immutable rule validation
src/pkg/immutable/model/*, src/pkg/retention/policy/*
Tag and scope selectors are validated through the selector index. Only doublestar and regex kinds are accepted.
Immutable controller validation
src/controller/immutable/*
Create and update operations validate metadata before manager calls.

API and portal integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retention selector metadata
src/server/v2.0/handler/retention*
Retention metadata advertises doublestar and regex selectors with repository and tag decorations.
Shared rule-editor selector model
src/portal/src/app/base/project/tag-feature-integration/tag-retention/retention.ts, src/portal/src/app/base/project/tag-feature-integration/*/add-rule/*.ts, src/portal/src/app/base/project/tag-feature-integration/*/add-rule/*.spec.ts
The portal adds selector-kind helpers, kind-specific pattern normalization, engine-aware checks, and selector-kind comparisons.
Rule editor controls and localization
src/portal/src/app/base/project/tag-feature-integration/*/add-rule/*.html, src/portal/src/i18n/lang/*
Rule dialogs add engine selectors and regex guidance. Locale keys use the REGEX naming.
Fail-closed immutable tag status
src/controller/tag/*
Artifact lookup and immutable-rule evaluation failures mark tags immutable and produce the corresponding controller behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to e38c0

When switching between the doublestar and regex pattern engines in the retention or immutable-tag rule editors, the existing pattern text is kept as-is rather than being cleared or re-checked for the new engine. A pattern that matched one way under regex can silently match differently under doublestar (or vice versa) after switching kinds, since only regex syntax is validated server-side. This is a minor usability/correctness gap — the rule still saves and functions, but administrators should double-check the pattern text after changing the selector kind until this is addressed.

Pull request overview

Adds a new regexp selector kind (RE2 via Go stdlib) as an alternative to doublestar for tag retention and tag immutability, including backend validation and Portal UI support driven by the retention metadata endpoint.

Changes:

  • Introduces a new regexp selector implementation and registers it alongside doublestar in the selector index, including validation helpers.
  • Adds write-time selector validation for retention policies and immutable tag rules, plus a retention metadata contract test and metadata payload update.
  • Updates Portal add-rule dialogs (retention + immutability) to support selecting a pattern engine per field, with i18n updates across locales and added unit tests.

A pattern such as `foo)|(?:bar` does not compile on its own but does once
wrapped as `\A(?:...)\z`, where it becomes an alternation of `\A(?:foo)` and
`(?:bar)\z` and matches on a prefix or a suffix instead of the full string.
Compile the raw pattern first so it is rejected at write time.

Review pass on the bot findings, pushed as dcd8ed8:

  • CodeRabbit, anchoring escape (selector.go) — valid, fixed. foo)|(?:bar does not compile on its own but does once wrapped, becoming an alternation of \A(?:foo) and (?:bar)\z, so it matched fooXXX and XXXbar. Verified with a probe before fixing. Compile now compiles the raw pattern first and returns its error, so such a pattern is rejected at write time. Covered by two new cases in TestValidate and by TestAnchoringCannotBeEscaped.
  • CodeRabbit, untagged assertions for Excludes — not valid, comments clarified. tagSelectExclude returns !s.untagged, and untagged defaults to false for the Excludes decoration, so an untagged artifact is selected with the default extras and drops out when {"untagged": true} is set. The assertions match the doublestar selector's behavior, which this selector mirrors by design; the surrounding comments said the opposite and now describe it correctly.
  • Copilot, label in the Kind doc comments — valid, fixed. The label selector is not registered, so both comments now read "doublestar" or "regexp", matching the validation.
  • Copilot, nullable return type on repoSelector/tagSelector — skipped. The portal does not run with strictNullChecks, so Selector already admits null and the annotation would be cosmetic; both accessors are only consumed through null-guarded call sites.

Intentional, and it applies to eight of the ten locale files, not just pt-br. The new keys are added in English everywhere except de-de, which got proper German. Harbor has no translation pipeline in this repo, so the alternative is machine-translating strings into languages I cannot review — for REGEX_TAG_SEPARATOR that means shipping unreviewed instructions about regular-expression syntax to users. An English string renders correctly and is obviously untranslated, so a native speaker can fix it in a follow-up; a wrong translation looks authoritative and nobody catches it.

This matches the existing state of these files, which already carry English fallbacks for untranslated keys — bun run i18n:check reports 23 pre-existing gaps in ru-ru alone on main, unchanged by this PR.

P2: When a user switches an existing rule from Doublestar to RegExp, this setter leaves the pattern in Doublestar syntax. For example, {v1,v2} is displayed and submitted unchanged, while the default ** is not a valid RE2 expression, so saving without retyping can change matching or fail; convert the pattern, clear it, or require explicit re-entry when changing either engine.

Not changing this — it is deliberate. Auto-converting a pattern between engines was one of the alternatives weighed and explicitly rejected in the proposal (goharbor/community#298 §2): a translator has to be 100% faithful or an upgrade silently changes what a rule matches, which is the worst possible failure mode for rules that delete images. Clearing the field on switch was also considered and rejected — it destroys what the user typed on a mis-click.

What makes this safe rather than silent: the pattern stays visible in the input, so the user sees {v1,v2} or ** sitting there in the wrong syntax, and the server rejects an invalid regex at save time with a 400 (ValidateRetentionPolicy / the immutability controller both compile the pattern now). So the failure is loud and happens before anything is stored. ** in particular is a valid RE2 error, not a silently-different match.

Not changing this — the empty-pattern guard is intentional. The form has always required a non-empty pattern for doublestar, and hasPattern keeps that contract for both engines rather than making regex the one kind where an empty field is submittable.

The engine does define an empty pattern as match-everything, and the API accepts it, but a match-everything selector on a rule that deletes or freezes images should be typed deliberately as .*, not arrive as an accidentally-blank field. Note the guard is already regex-aware in the direction that matters: for doublestar it strips braces before the emptiness check, so {} is correctly rejected, while for regex it does not, so a real quantifier-only pattern like {2} is accepted.

Not reachable, so not changing it. The metadata payload is deliberately NOT wired to Index() — rentenitionMetadataPayload in src/server/v2.0/handler/retention.go is a hardcoded literal with doublestar first, and TestRetentionMetadataSelectors pins that ordering so it cannot regress. Rewiring the payload to the registry was proposed upstream and rejected for this PR (the reasoning is in the PR body under "Deliberate deviations"), partly for exactly the nondeterminism you are pointing at, and partly because IndexedMeta has no display_text.

Index() itself currently has no non-test caller, so the sync.Map iteration order is not observable by any client today. If it ever does get wired up, deterministic ordering has to be solved there — agreed on the principle, just not a live defect on this PR.

Harmonizes the discriminator with community#280 (proxy cache repository
filter) and with the 0007-multi-format-artifacts branch, both of which use
"regex". Shipping "regexp" here would leave two user-visible literals for one
concept. The proposal text has been updated to match.

Only the string literal changes: the package stays src/lib/selector/selectors/regexp
and the display label stays "RegEx". The i18n keys and the portal constant follow
the literal (ENGINE_REGEX, REGEX_REP_SEPARATOR, REGEX_TAG_SEPARATOR,
SELECTOR_KIND_REGEX), and the compile error prose now reads "invalid regex
pattern" so the API error and the kind agree.

populateImmutableStatus swallowed both of its errors and left Tag.Immutable
false. Every consumer of that flag reads false as permission to write: the push
middleware (server/middleware/immutable/pushmf.go) allows the overwrite, and
Ensure and Delete in this controller skip their precondition check. An
immutability rule whose selector cannot be built therefore made a supposedly
immutable tag silently re-pushable. Retention, by contrast, already fails closed
and loudly.

This is reachable in practice with the regex kind added by this branch: a rule
saved as kind "regex" on a newer core and read back after a rollback produces
"selector regex is not registered" from Matcher.Match, which is exactly the
swallowed error.

Report the tag as immutable when the status cannot be determined, and log the
cause. Integrity over availability: a rule that cannot be evaluated blocks the
write with a clear 412 rather than quietly permitting it.

Propagating the error to the callers was the other candidate and was rejected on
the call graph. handlePush treats any error from GetByReference as "no existing
artifact" and returns nil, so a propagated error would still be swallowed there
and the push would still be allowed; closing that would mean also rejecting
pushes on any transient error in the same call, a far larger blast radius. And
propagation would fail artifact listing outright whenever one rule in a project
is broken, since assembleTag feeds List and Get. Setting the flag closes all
three enforcement points without touching their error handling.

The artifact lookup above the match is treated the same way, being the same
"status unknown" condition.

Accepted trade-off, keeping it. The log volume concern is real in principle, but this path only fires in a state that is now hard to reach: a rule whose selector cannot be built. The API rejects those at write time as of this PR (unregistered kind, unsupported decoration, or a pattern that does not compile all return 400), so in practice it requires a rule written directly into the database or read back after a core downgrade.

In that state, loudness is the point. This is the fail-closed path — every tag in the project is being reported immutable and writes are being refused, and an operator needs a clear reason in the log rather than silent refusals. Deduplicating would mean carrying per-project rate-limit state through a function that is called per tag during assembly, which is more machinery and more shared state than the pathological case justifies.

… nullable

Two findings from the bot review on #752.

add() stripped every whitespace character from both patterns before saving. That
is right for doublestar, where whitespace carries no meaning and the strip
forgives a pasted list like "a, b", but a space is a literal character in a
regex: inside a character class or an alternation it is part of the expression.
"[a-z ]+" was silently stored as "[a-z]+", a different expression. Normalization
is now skipped for the regex kind, so the pattern is stored exactly as typed and
the server validates it. Doublestar behavior is unchanged.

repoSelector and tagSelector were declared to return Selector but return null
when the rule has no selectors yet; the return type now says Selector | null,
along with the hasPattern parameter that consumes them. Both accessors were
already null-guarded at every call site, so this only makes the types honest.

Clear or isolate the pattern when the selector kind changes.

The setters retain an engine-specific pattern after changing its interpretation. For example, doublestar input v1,v2 is stored as {v1,v2}. If the user then selects regex, add() submits {v1,v2} unchanged, which the regex validator rejects. A regex pattern with literal whitespace can also be silently changed when the user switches to doublestar.

Review: READY TO MERGE

CI green on 1567ce6d67, merges clean into main, re-ran the selector/retention/immutable unit tests locally. It solves goharbor/harbor#12877 (56 👍): the reporter's own ^v\d+\.\d+\.\d+$ selects exactly their three release tags. Regex reaches both repository and tag selectors on both surfaces, doublestar stays the default, no migration needed. Nothing below blocks.

Two regex engines now ship together. src/lib/pattern/matcher.go already has KindRegex = "regex" for proxy-cache filters. This PR writes a second one in selectors/regexp, and they disagree: anchors ^(?:…)$ vs \A(?:…)\z, no length cap vs 512 runes, TrimSpace vs whitespace preserved. One pattern means two things depending on which feature a user types it into. #753 removes the duplicate but leaves Match's branch alone, so the split survives the stack. This is the "regex must be consistent across features" objection that sank goharbor/harbor#22162, so it is worth closing before any of this goes upstream. Pulling #753's lib/pattern/regex.go extraction back here fixes it, at the cost of rebasing #753 and #754. Your call, or track it as a follow-up.

Do not delete feat/regex-selector-phase1 when this merges. On this repo that closes #753 permanently rather than retargeting it. We lost #718 that way and recreated it as #734. Related: #753 moves Compile, Validate and MaxPatternLength out of the selector package, so any fixup landed here that touches them has to be mirrored or it vanishes on the next rebase.

Minor, take or leave:

  • -\d+-g\w+ from the issue matches nothing under full-string anchoring. A .*-\d+-g\w+ example in REGEX_TAG_SEPARATOR would save people the round trip.
  • repoExcludes + .* is the regex twin of the ** footgun you block, and nothing blocks it.
  • No maxlength or client-side compile check, so a bad pattern surfaces only as a backend 400.
  • pushmf.go still returns nil when GetByReference fails, so the push proceeds above your fail-closed fix.
  • RetentionSelector.kind and ImmutableSelector.kind have no swagger description, while feat: Regex filters for replication (phase 2) #753 documents its own.
  • Fail-closed tests build the unknown-kind error with index.Get("regexp", …), one character from the registered regex.
