Executive Summary

Phase 5.1 delivers DERA's universal database connector foundation (packages/connectors/src/dera_connectors/). It defines the typed asynchronous DatabaseConnector protocol, a granular capability discovery taxonomy, universal metadata models with deterministic sorting, connection lifecycle management, sanitized error classification, read-only security enforcement, SSRF egress defenses, an explicit driver registry, a deterministic mock connector (FakeDatabaseConnector), and a reusable conformance test suite (BaseConnectorConformanceTests).

Strict invariants are maintained:

• Zero AI/LLM models or stochastic inference.
• Read-only metadata inspection: no customer database modification, no arbitrary SQL execution interface.
• Tenant isolation: workspace-scoped context and access control.
• Credential masking: zero secrets in logs, exceptions, or serializations.

Connector Architecture & Layers

1. Layer A — Platform Infrastructure: FastAPI, Auth/RBAC, PostgreSQL persistence, Celery background jobs.
2. Layer B — Universal Connector Abstraction (Phase 5.1): Protocol, capabilities, lifecycle, metadata contracts, security, error taxonomy, and testing harness.
3. Layer C — Database-Specific Adapters (Upcoming Milestones):
   • Phase 5.2: PostgreSQL & Supabase PostgreSQL
   • Phase 5.3: SQLite
   • Phase 5.4: MySQL & MariaDB

Key Deliverables & Modules

• Protocol (dera_connectors/protocol.py): Strongly typed DatabaseConnector protocol with async context management.
• Engine Identity (dera_connectors/engine.py): DatabaseEngine (postgresql, sqlite, mysql, mariadb), DatabaseProvider (supabase, aws_rds, gcp_cloudsql, etc.), and sanitized DatabaseIdentity.
• Capability Model (dera_connectors/capabilities.py): 17 discrete capabilities (SCHEMA_ENUMERATION, TABLE_ENUMERATION, COLUMN_INSPECTION, etc.) and 4 status values (SUPPORTED, UNSUPPORTED, RESTRICTED, UNKNOWN).
• Metadata Contracts (dera_connectors/metadata.py): Pydantic v2 models for schemas, tables, columns, primary keys, foreign keys, unique constraints, check constraints, indexes, and views with deterministic ordering.
• Configuration & Credential Boundaries (dera_connectors/configuration.py): ConnectorConfig, TLSSettings, TimeoutSettings, SecretStr password protection, and safe_dict() secret masking.
• Lifecycle Management (dera_connectors/lifecycle.py): ConnectionLifecycle enforcing explicit transitions (CREATED -> CONNECTING -> CONNECTED -> CLOSING -> CLOSED).
• Security & SSRF Safeguards (dera_connectors/security.py): validate_read_only_sql blocking mutation keywords; validate_network_target blocking loopback, link-local, and cloud metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254, metadata.google.internal).
• Error Taxonomy (dera_connectors/errors.py): Standardized error hierarchy (CONNECTOR_UNAVAILABLE, CONNECTOR_AUTHENTICATION_FAILED, CONNECTOR_PERMISSION_DENIED, etc.) with automatic secret masking.
• Registry & Factory (dera_connectors/registry.py): Explicit ConnectorRegistry and create_connector() factory avoiding dynamic arbitrary imports.
• Mock Connector (dera_connectors/testing/fake_connector.py): Deterministic mock implementing the protocol for unit testing.
• Conformance Suite (dera_connectors/testing/conformance.py): BaseConnectorConformanceTests validating protocol conformance, lifecycle, ordering, and security across future adapters.
• API Contracts (dera_api/schemas/connectors.py): Pydantic schemas for engine discovery, capability matrices, connection test results, and metadata inspection.

Acceptance Audit & Phase 5.2 Handoff

• Audit Verdict: ACCEPTED (PASS) in docs/audit/PHASE_5_1_CONNECTOR_ACCEPTANCE.md.
• Known Limitations: Production database drivers are intentionally omitted from this milestone and belong to Phases 5.2–5.4.
• Phase 5.2 Readiness: The universal protocol, capability model, and conformance harness are fully prepared for the PostgreSQL & Supabase adapter implementation.
