Problem

audit_setup / GET /v2/instrumentation/audit returns no_data ("never received telemetry") for orgs that are actively ingesting.

  • runSetupAudit short-circuits on a null org_onboarding_state.first_data_received_at
  • its only writer, OnboardingEmailService, was deleted in f0a867c (2026-08-01); recordFirstDataReceived has had no caller since
  • the column is also read by maple-portal (packages/db/src/external-columns.test.ts), so the portal has been seeing it null for every new org too

Fix

  • FirstDataService (new, packages/backend), on the hourly alerting cron next to the service-map rollup:
    • unstamped orgs = ingest-key orgs with no row or a null column (one Postgres read; skips the warehouse when there are none)
    • one cross-org scan of traces_aggregates_hourly + logs_aggregates_hourly over 2h (same discovery queries as the anomaly/rollup ticks)
    • missing onboarding row → created with the org's Clerk creation time, as the checklist does; no creation time (self-hosted) → no row
    • stamps via the existing OnboardingService.recordFirstDataReceived
    • first run after deploy backfills every affected org that sent data in the last 2h
  • SetupAuditService: still counts telemetry in its own 24h lookback as first data (covers BYO-ClickHouse orgs, which the cross-org scan can't see, and the up-to-1h lag); does not write
  • cleanup of the email-campaign leftovers: OnboardingService.getState/updateState/markEmailSent/suppressOnboardingEmails/listAll, OnboardingStateResponse, UpdateOnboardingStateRequest; stale doc line

Notes

  • orgs that sent data once and went quiet before this deploy stay unstamped until they send again
  • BYO-ClickHouse orgs are never stamped (portal sees null for them)

Test

  • FirstDataService.test.ts: stamps sending orgs with a row or without one, skips idle/self-hosted/already stamped, skips the warehouse when nothing is unstamped
  • setup-audit.http.test.ts: unstamped org + warehouse rows → data_status: ok (fails on main)
  • scheduled.test.ts: 0 * * * * runs firstData + serviceMapRollup; production layer graph builds
  • domain setup-audit + optional-key-schema tests

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Organizations are now automatically marked as having received their first data when recent warehouse activity is detected. This update runs hourly and covers trace and log activity.
    • Setup audits can recognize recent trace, log, or metric activity as evidence of first data, even when a first-data timestamp has not yet been recorded. Audits continue to return their checks for these organizations.

…a stamp

The only writer of org_onboarding_state.first_data_received_at was the
onboarding email service deleted in f0a867c, so every org created
since 2026-08-01 got no_data from the audit forever. The audit now
treats warehouse telemetry in its lookback as first data and stamps the
column lazily, so later runs survive a quiet 24h window.

SetupAuditService.run now stamps first_data_received_at when the 24h warehouse read shows telemetry, so orgs that ingest but were never stamped get real checks instead of no_data. The write is guarded, tenant-scoped and best-effort; safe to merge.

  • stampFirstDataReceived writes the null column once, guarded by isNull
  • run flips the local config so runSetupAudit runs its checks
  • New HTTP test: unstamped org + warehouse rows → data_status: ok
What was checked
  • Nothing else reads the column: grep over apps/ and packages/ finds only OnboardingService, the db schema and the audit gate
  • Write is scoped eq(orgId) from the tenant and matches OnboardingService.recordFirstDataReceived
  • Warehouse-unreachable still yields no_data: hasRecentTelemetry is false when warehouseInputs is undefined

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

A new service stamps firstDataReceivedAt for unstamped organizations with recent warehouse activity. The hourly scheduler runs the service. Setup audit also uses telemetry when the timestamp is unset.

Changes

First-data timestamp stamping

Layer / File(s) Summary
Onboarding state operations
packages/backend/src/services/org/OnboardingService.ts, packages/domain/src/http/onboarding.ts, packages/domain/src/optional-key-schema.test.ts
The onboarding service removes state response and update operations, email operations, and listing operations. The related HTTP schemas and decoding tests are removed.
Discover and stamp first data
packages/backend/src/services/org/FirstDataService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/org/FirstDataService.test.ts
The service scans recent trace and log aggregates for unstamped organizations and records first-data timestamps for active organizations. Tests cover active, idle, already-stamped, missing-row, and self-hosted organizations.
Schedule stamping and use audit telemetry
apps/alerting/src/scheduled.ts, apps/alerting/src/scheduled.test.ts, packages/backend/src/services/org/SetupAuditService.ts, apps/api/src/routes/v2/setup-audit.http.test.ts, docs/http-api-migration.md
The hourly cron runs the first-data tick alongside the service-map rollup. Setup audit uses warehouse telemetry when the fetched timestamp is unset. An HTTP test checks the audit response for an unstamped organization. The migration note identifies the hourly tick as the timestamp writer.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5697f

Stamping the first-data timestamp hourly restores the previous behavior, but an organization could miss being stamped if one hourly run is skipped. Aligning the cutoff to the hour boundary is a small fix and worth doing before or soon after merge.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5697f

The new background job reuses existing cross-organization query controls and makes organization-specific, write-once updates. No introduced security vulnerability was established. Remaining uncertainty concerns upstream identity attribution and recovery behavior. The audit fallback is temporary rather than the durable update described in the PR.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • observed — The added worker path can discover organization IDs across the ingest warehouse and update eligible onboarding rows across locally registered organizations. Its discovery projection contains organization IDs rather than telemetry payloads, and its mutation is limited to first-data and updated timestamps, plus eligible missing-row creation.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — Warehouse results influence stamping eligibility but cannot introduce a write target absent from the local candidate list. This rejects an arbitrary-target-write interpretation of discovery. It does not establish that upstream telemetry organization attribution is unforgeable; that boundary was not traced.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The discovery queries explicitly declare cross-tenant scope. The existing executor rejects incompatible scope on crossOrgQuery and annotates cross-organization scope and justification. These controls make the privileged read explicit and traceable; they do not replace ingestion-side identity controls.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Conflict-safe row creation and conditional timestamp updates protect ownership and prevent overwrites during repeated or concurrent ticks. Per-organization failures are isolated, while interruption-only causes propagate. An interruption between creation and stamping leaves a null timestamp rather than a falsely completed transition; recovery still depends on subsequent eligible activity.

The column lost its writer when the onboarding email service was deleted,
but the setup audit gates on it and maple-portal reads it. FirstDataService
runs on the hourly alerting cron: one cross-org scan of the hourly traces
and logs aggregates finds unstamped orgs that are sending, creates their
onboarding row if missing (with the org's creation time, as the checklist
does), and stamps the column. Its first run backfills.

The audit no longer stamps; it still counts telemetry in its own lookback
as first data, for BYO-ClickHouse orgs and the first hour.

Removes the OnboardingService methods and HTTP schemas left over from the
email campaign and the v1 onboarding route.

🟡 Confidence 3/5 · needs attention
The lazy stamp is a single guarded column update, but FirstDataService's discovery set omits metrics-only orgs, which the audit path counts as first data.
quality 90/100 · 1 warning · tests covered · risk medium · 2/2 new units observable

Adds an hourly FirstDataService tick that stamps org_onboarding_state.first_data_received_at from a cross-org warehouse scan, and lets SetupAuditService treat recent telemetry as first data when the column is null. The gate logic is sound; the tick's discovery scan does not cover metrics-only orgs.

  • FirstDataService.runTick hourly cross-org scan creates/stamps org_onboarding_state rows
  • SetupAuditService counts this run's own telemetry as first data when the column is null
  • OnboardingService loses the email-campaign methods; scheduled.ts adds firstData to the hourly cron

Findings

🟠 Warning · F1 · FirstDataService never stamps an org that sends only metrics

correctness · packages/backend/src/services/org/FirstDataService.ts:54-68

The discovery scans only activeOrgsByTracesQuery() and activeOrgsByLogsQuery(), so an org whose only telemetry is metrics — a scraped exporter, the Cloudflare/PlanetScale pollers, a metrics-only OTel SDK — is never in the active set and org_onboarding_state.first_data_received_at stays null for it forever. The portal reads that column, so such an org is reported as never having sent data; SetupAuditService.ts:533 counts metricCount toward its own "first data" gate, so the two disagree on what first data is. Either add a cross-org metrics scan over the metrics_sum/metrics_gauge/metrics_histogram tables (there is no hourly aggregate for them) or state in the class comment that metrics-only orgs stay unstamped.

`FirstDataService` never stamps an org that sends only metrics

What was checked
  • stampOrg only updates an existing row and is best-effort; a failure is logged and counted, not fatal (FirstDataService.ts:76-104)
  • SetupAuditService still returns no_data when the warehouse read fails, regardless of the null column (SetupAuditService.ts:529-539)
  • getRoute/warmRoute, ensureRow and recordFirstDataReceived exist on the head OnboardingService; the HTTP test seeds an unstamped org with no onboarding row

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Align the discovery cutoff with hourly buckets.

The activity queries compare Hour directly with startTime. If telemetry arrives at 10:59, the 11:00 tick is missed, and the next tick executes at 12:00:01, this cutoff becomes 10:00:01. The queries exclude the telemetry's 10:00:00 bucket.

The organization remains unstamped unless it sends more telemetry. This breaks the stated tolerance for one missed tick. Round the cutoff down to the start of an hour.

Proposed fix
-				const startTime = formatWarehouseDateTime(now - DISCOVERY_WINDOW_MS)
+				const startTime = formatWarehouseDateTime(
+					Math.floor((now - DISCOVERY_WINDOW_MS) / 3_600_000) * 3_600_000,
