etcd_postsets no credentials and no CA or certificate options. The provider writes the membership and leader keys, so any reachable client can register a fake node or steal the leader key when etcd runs without authentication. Anhttps://endpoint also uses only the system trust store, with no way to pin a private cluster CA.Consider GUCs for an etcd username and password or token, plus a CA file and client certificate, and map them to

In `@sql/spock--6.0.0.sql`:
- Line 496: Change the volatility declaration for spock.quorum_status(), which
maps to spock_quorum_status_sql, from STABLE to VOLATILE so each call performs a
fresh quorum-state read without statement-level result reuse.
In `@src/spock_quorum_etcd.c`:
- Around line 590-598: Update etcd_is_leader to return SPOCK_QUORUM_UNKNOWN
whenever etcd_self_name is NULL before either strcmp call, including the lease
and non-lease paths. In etcd_startup, release the existing etcd_self_name before
assigning a newly resolved identity so repeated startup does not leak memory.
- Around line 458-473: Replace the /v3/maintenance/status leader check in
etcd_have_quorum with a linearizable /v3/kv/range request, reusing the existing
range-read behavior from etcd_members and leaving serializable mode disabled.
Return SPOCK_QUORUM_YES only when that read succeeds, map a failed request to
SPOCK_QUORUM_NO or the established error outcome as appropriate, and preserve
errdetail propagation.
- Around line 41-43: Rename the libcurl preprocessor guards in
spock_quorum_etcd.c from HAVE_LIBCURL to SPOCK_HAVE_LIBCURL, and update the
Makefile to define SPOCK_HAVE_LIBCURL only when the corresponding curl link
flags are enabled. Ensure curl includes and calls are excluded whenever
NO_LIBCURL=1 or curl-config is unavailable.
In `@src/spock_quorum_pgbully.c`:
- Line 286: Update pgbully_members() to read column 3 from PGBULLY_MEMBERS_SQL,
convert its non-NULL value to TimestampTz, and assign it to
SpockQuorumMember.last_seen; preserve SQL NULL as zero instead of
unconditionally resetting the field.
- Around line 57-60: Update PGBULLY_MEMBERS_SQL and its surrounding
implementation to parse both if_dsn and conninfo with PQconninfoParse(), rather
than extracting raw host and port values via regular expressions. Compare the
parsed, normalized host and port values while preserving the existing default
port behavior, and ensure pgbully_leader_name() still matches the leader when
DSNs use URI or keyword/value syntax.
In `@src/spock_quorum_pgraft.c`:
- Line 228: The pgraft_have_quorum() result must not infer current quorum solely
from a nonzero leader ID, since stale leader state can persist on an isolated
follower. Replace the leader-ID comparison with an existing recent-contact or
majority-reachability signal, returning SPOCK_QUORUM_YES only when current
majority reachability is confirmed and SPOCK_QUORUM_NO otherwise.
In `@src/spock_quorum.c`:
- Line 267: Update the code after the active->is_leader(&detail) call to invoke
note_error(detail) whenever it returns SPOCK_QUORUM_UNKNOWN, preserving the
existing leader-state assignment and ensuring the provider failure is recorded.
- Line 249: Update the tick logic around snap_quorum and the related snap_*
assignments to obtain quorum, leadership, and membership through one provider
callback returning a consistent snapshot. Cache that callback result for the
tick and derive all snap_* fields from it, removing the separate provider calls.
- Around line 397-398: Move provider interactions out of the SQL-facing path
around spock_quorum_invalidate and snapshot_take into the group-slot worker.
Publish the worker’s observed snapshot through shared memory, and update
spock.quorum_status() to return that shared snapshot without invoking provider
callbacks, including any additional leader() read.
- Line 202: Update the refresh-failure path in the quorum tick to mark the
snapshot unavailable and return immediately when refresh() fails; do not call
snapshot_take() or query quorum afterward. Preserve normal snapshot_take()
processing when refresh() succeeds.
In `@src/spock.c`:
- Line 1220: Remove the default cluster ID value "spock" from the cluster
configuration in spock.c. Require an explicit cluster ID for providers using
this namespace, or derive it from immutable cluster identity, ensuring
independently configured clusters cannot share membership or quorum namespaces.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 4 included reviews per hour; 3 remain after this review.
Spock decides WAL retention from local catalogs alone, so a single unreachable node pins WAL on every survivor indefinitely, and there is no notion of a majority to decide otherwise. Closing that needs agreement between nodes, but not a consensus implementation of Spock's own, and not a permanent marriage to somebody else's. An external system is consulted through one uniform interface and asked only three things: whether this node is in a quorum, which members the cluster considers live, and whether this node should act for the cluster. It is never asked to store anything. Spock keeps its durable state in its own crash-safe catalogs, and dropping storage from the interface is what lets a system with nothing but leader election sit behind the same seven entry points as one with a replicated key space. Providers for etcd, pgraft, and pgBully are included, selected by spock.quorum_provider; with the default of none, nothing is consulted and behaviour is unchanged. Every answer is three-valued, and an unusable one is always resolved conservatively: an error, a timeout, or an unreachable provider yields exactly the behaviour of having no provider at all. Unknown is kept distinct from no so that a cluster which lost quorum can be told apart from a provider that stopped answering, which matters to whoever is reading the status view during an incident. Providers are consulted only from a background worker's timer, never from a path a client waits on, and one reading is taken per tick and decided against, so that a tick cannot reason about a cluster state that never existed at any single instant. The objects ship in a 6.0.0 to 6.1.0 upgrade script rather than the released base script. Nothing consumes the layer yet: spock.quorum_status() reports what it sees, and the tests concentrate on the paths where no answer can be obtained, since that is the behaviour the rest of Spock has to be able to rely on.

Free the previous self_name before replacing it.
cluster_startup() allocates one string in TopMemoryContext per startup, not per tick. A long-lived backend can restart the provider when spock.quorum_provider changes. Repeated switches back to a cluster provider overwrite its previous self_name, retaining one allocation per switch until process exit.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Do not infer quorum from leader_id. cluster_have_quorum() maps any nonzero leader_id from get_cluster_status() to SPOCK_QUORUM_YES, and spock.quorum_status() exposes that result. Both providers can retain a last-known leader after partition, so an isolated leader can report quorum from a minority. Use a majority-backed provider signal, or return SPOCK_QUORUM_UNKNOWN when no such signal exists.

Make snapshot_take() consume one provider-consistent snapshot.
snapshot_take() calls have_quorum, is_leader, leader, and members independently. The pgraft/pgbully callbacks execute separate SQL statements, and the etcd callbacks issue separate requests. A leader election or membership change between calls can therefore produce a cached combination that never existed at one cluster revision. Expose a provider-level snapshot operation that returns quorum, leadership, leader, and membership from one consistent revision, then populate all snap_* fields from that result.

Retry provider startup after a failed start.
spock_quorum_startup() leaves active set and active_started false when startup() fails or when spock.quorum_cluster_id is empty. This function only re-runs startup when spock_quorum_provider changes. A long-lived backend therefore never retries after the provider recovers, and it never picks up a later spock.quorum_cluster_id value, because that GUC is not part of the comparison. Every later spock.quorum_status() call in that session keeps returning NULL answers with the stale last_error.
Retry startup when the provider is resolved but unstarted, and re-resolve when the configuration the startup decision depends on has changed.

🌐 Web query:
Perl "Can't declare undef operator in my" list assignment placeholder
💡 Result:
The error "Can't declare undef operator in my" occurs in Perl when you attempt to use the undef keyword as a placeholder within a my declaration for list assignment [1][2][3]. In Perl, my is used to declare lexical variables [4]. While undef is a valid placeholder to discard return values during a standard list assignment (e.g., ($a, undef, $b) = @list;), it is not a variable and therefore cannot be declared with my [5][3]. To fix this, remove the my keyword from the list assignment that includes undef [3]. If you need to declare the other variables as lexical, do so in a separate statement before the assignment [5][3]. Example of the incorrect code: my ($x, undef, $y) = (1, 2, 3); # Produces "Can't declare undef operator in my" Corrected approach: my ($x, $y); ($x, undef, $y) = (1, 2, 3);

Allocate timeout error text in the saved caller context.
After SPI_connect(), CurrentMemoryContext is the SPI procedure context. pstrdup() therefore allocates errdetail there, and SPI_finish() frees it before cluster_one_text() or cluster_members() returns the pointer. Allocate the error text in scope->oldcxt and pass the scope at both call sites.

Spock decides WAL retention from local catalogs alone, so a single unreachable node pins WAL on every survivor indefinitely, and there is no notion of a majority to decide otherwise. Closing that needs agreement between nodes, but not a consensus implementation of Spock's own, and not a permanent marriage to somebody else's.
An external system is consulted through one uniform interface and asked only three things: whether this node is in a quorum, which members the cluster considers live, and whether this node should act for the cluster. It is never asked to store anything. Spock keeps its durable state in its own crash-safe catalogs, and dropping storage from the interface is what lets a system with nothing but leader election sit behind the same seven entry points as one with a replicated key space. Providers for etcd, pgraft, and pgBully are included, selected by spock.quorum_provider; with the default of none, nothing is consulted and behaviour is unchanged.
Every answer is three-valued, and an unusable one is always resolved conservatively: an error, a timeout, or an unreachable provider yields exactly the behaviour of having no provider at all. Unknown is kept distinct from no so that a cluster which lost quorum can be told apart from a provider that stopped answering, which matters to whoever is reading the status view during an incident. Providers are consulted only from a background worker's timer, never from a path a client waits on, and one reading is taken per tick and decided against, so that a tick cannot reason about a cluster state that never existed at any single instant.
Nothing consumes the layer yet. spock.quorum_status() reports what it sees.
