+# Instance 领域对象规格
+
+状态：Draft，含已确认决策。日期：2026-09-13。
+
+上层边界见 [领域模型](domain-model.md)。本文只展开 Instance，不包含 Tenant 的供应
+实现，也不新增 CRD 字段。设计签名用于评审职责与行为，不是待复制的 Go 接口代码。
+
+## 1. 对象职责与生命周期
+
+Instance 表示一次登记的 PostgreSQL 管理对象，是聚合根。它负责字段与策略校验、
+根据观察结果判断能力是否满足要求、保护状态转换规则；不登录数据库，不读取 Bao，
+不查询权限或初始化 registry。
+
+本草案选择：**领域对象只接收数据并做业务决策，不直接或通过端口、回调访问外部。**
+应用层调用适配器获取事实、执行被允许的操作，并将观察结果交回对象。Instance 不接收
+context、客户端或 IO 接口。领域行为不是公共 SetReady：调用方提供事实，不能指定结论。
+
+每轮从 CR 重建一个 Instance；对象不跨 reconcile 缓存，也不是线程共享单例。
+管理连接可由装配层跨轮次复用，但连接复用不代表上次能力验证仍然成立。
+
+身份与 endpoint 以管理员声明为准。改变 endpoint 不验证是否同一物理服务器或
+registry，不增加安装身份连续性检查；只使旧观察失效，按新配置重验管理能力。
+新 CR 是新 Instance，不自动获得旧 UID 资源的所有权，也不迁移或清理旧目标。
+下文“观察绑定匹配”仅指结果属于本轮身份／配置，不是物理服务器身份认证协议。
+
+## 2. 字段与值对象
+
+所有可变状态封装在对象内部。构造后身份和本轮 definition 不可变；配置变更通过
+下一轮装载新的 definition 处理，不提供任意 SetPhase/SetReady/SetEndpoint。
+
+| 字段 | 类型与内容 | 来源／持久化 | 修改规则 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| identity | InstanceIdentity：UID、name | CR metadata | 本次对象身份内不可变；同名新 UID 是新对象 |
+| revision | 正整数，期望配置版本 | metadata.generation | 本轮不可变；不是物理服务器版本 |
+| definition.endpoint | Endpoint：host、hostaddr、port、managementDatabase、tlsMode | CR spec | 本轮不可变；新配置重验 |
+| definition.adminCredential | CredentialReference：name、usernameKey、passwordKey | CR spec | 只引用 controller namespace 的管理 Secret，不存明文 |
+| availableExtensions | 可选的实际可安装扩展集合 | 应用层从目标 PostgreSQL 查询；本轮观察，不新增 status 字段 | 未观察与已观察的空集合不同；目标变化后旧结果失效 |
+| checkpoint | Pending/Validating/InitializingRegistry/Ready/Deleting | CR status.phase | 只能由领域动作变更，应用层负责持久化 |
+| observedRevision | 最近完成有结论协调的版本 | CR status.observedGeneration | 成功或已知失败时更新，单纯记录意图不更新 |
+| readiness | Unknown/Ready/NotReady，加安全失败类别和操作说明 | 由 status Ready Condition 重建，结果再映射回 Condition | 方法更新；不是第二套持久化状态 |
+| reportedVersion | 可选服务器版本字符串 | status.postgresqlVersion；验证后从服务器更新 | 仅供展示，不能证明连接成功 |
+| deleting | 是否已请求删除 | metadata.deletionTimestamp 映射 | 本轮不可变；优先于其他动作 |
+| evidence | 可选 CapabilityEvidence | 本轮外部回读；不新增 status 字段 | 重建时始终为空，不能从 Ready Condition 伪造 |
+
+Endpoint 的构造约束沿用 API：非空 host、合法 IP、1–65535 端口、合法 PostgreSQL
+identifier、显式 TLS mode，禁止隐式降级。CredentialReference 包含合法 Secret 名称
+及非空字段名，不包含 namespace 或 Bao path；namespace 由应用层固定为 controller
+自身 namespace。这里校验领域值，不在对象里校验整个 controller 部署配置。
+
+CapabilityEvidence 包含本轮目标绑定（Instance UID、revision、endpoint、凭据引用）、
+server version、管理能力检查结果、registry 观察结果。registry 结果区分
+Absent/NeedsMigration/Usable；连接失败不能当作 Absent。它不包含密码、token 或 DSN。
+
+管理能力要求来自规格中的 role/database/grant/extension 操作，不等价于“能执行
+SHOW server_version”。具体权限探测矩阵需在 PostgreSQL 适配器规格中定义，不能
+让一个没有定义检查内容的布尔值承担验收。
+
+不属于 Instance 的字段：Tenant 清单、客户端、连接池、token TTL、CA 文件句柄、
+Kubernetes resourceVersion。resourceVersion 留在应用层作为乐观并发保存的前提。
+
+### 扩展支持判定（2026-09-14 已确认方向）
+
+v1alpha1 按目标 PostgreSQL 实际可安装的扩展列表判断请求，不实现管理员 allowlist。
+allowlist 仅保留为后续可选策略，不接受一个看似生效、实际被忽略的策略字段；现有
+CRD 的 allowedExtensions 应在对应 API 改动中移除，本次只修订文档。
+
+应用层查询实际可用扩展并提供与本轮目标绑定的观察；Instance 只做集合判断，不
+访问数据库。不沿用之前提议的字符正则，不自动改大小写或名称；SQL 适配器仍须
+安全引用 identifier。可用列表不是已安装列表，也不保证权限或其他安装前提满足。
+
+未观察／查询失败不得当作空集合或不支持；不得用旧目标的列表授权新目标的操作。
+非空请求须属于已观察的可用集合，返回不支持的名称；空请求无需扩展支持判定，
+但不绕过 Instance 的其他就绪要求。安装后仍需回读，不能以集合匹配代替安装验证。
+列表变化不触发自动卸载；已有扩展的漂移处理留到 Tenant 用例细化。

+观察。单独的“迁移调用成功”不是就绪证据。CapabilityEvidence 是对象接受并判定满足
+要求的观察值，不是调用方传入的 Ready 布尔值。
+
+### 构造与恢复
+
+Reconstitute 校验期望 definition；无效输入不构造一个可参与用例决策的 Instance。
+入口把 InvalidDefinition 映射成 InvalidSpec，不必为了报告坏 CR 而制造非法领域对象。
+checkpoint 缺失或未知时保守使用 Pending；reportedVersion 和 Ready 都只是旧观察，
+evidence 为空。若 observedRevision 与 revision 不一致，旧 Ready 不得通过供应检查。
+
+### 方法合同
+
+| 方法 | 前置条件／输入 | 行为与状态变化 | 失败语义 |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| BeginValidation | 未删除；初次登记、配置变更或需重建 checkpoint | 转 Validating，readiness=Unknown，清空 evidence；不做外部 IO，不推进 observedRevision | deleting 时不启动验证 |
+| AssessManagement | 未删除；Validating；目标匹配的观察 | 判定管理访问、metadata、权限是否满足；registry 可用或可安全准备时转 InitializingRegistry，仍为 Unknown；不执行探测 | 失败保持 Validating，NotReady，observedRevision=当前版本 |
+| PlanRegistryPreparation | 未删除；InitializingRegistry；本轮前置观察 | 根据管理能力及 registry 现状决定无需写入、允许准备或禁止准备；返回决策，不执行迁移、不标 Ready | 访问失败、不兼容或证据不足时禁止写入，NotReady；保持阶段，更新 observedRevision |
+| AssessRegistryResult | 未删除；InitializingRegistry；准备结果或无需写入时的完整回读 | 按全部就绪条件判断回读结果；全满足才 Ready，并更新 observedRevision/version/evidence | 操作失败或回读不满足时保持 InitializingRegistry、NotReady；不得提前 Ready |
+| AssessReadiness | 未删除；Ready；本轮观察 | 配置版本不一致时仅 BeginValidation；否则根据全部观察判断是否仍满足就绪条件 | 访问失败转 Validating/NotReady；registry 缺失或需迁移时转 InitializingRegistry，保存后下一轮修复 |
+| CheckExtensions | 请求集合；本轮实际可用扩展观察 | 判断请求是否为实际可用集合的子集，返回不支持的名称；无 IO、无状态修改 | ExtensionsUnsupported 或 ExtensionSupportUnobserved；不卸载已存在扩展 |
+| RequireProvisioningReady | 供 Tenant 用例使用 | 要求未删除、Ready、observedRevision 匹配，并有本次调用链的新鲜完整 evidence | 不满足即 InstanceNotReady；持久化 Ready 本身不构成授权 |
+| BeginDeletion | deleting=true | 转 Deleting，清除供应能力，Unknown；不执行任何数据库或凭据删除 | 引用检查／finalizer 处理失败不得恢复成可供应 |
+| Snapshot | 任意合法对象状态 | 返回可安全持久化的结果值 | 不触发 IO，也不改变状态 |
+
+领域方法只检查对象状态，不知道 checkpoint 是否已落盘。“已持久化 checkpoint”是
+应用用例执行外部写入的前提。内存字段变成 InitializingRegistry 不代表已保存成功；不能
+在同一轮无条件接着执行迁移。通过用例测试验证此约束，而不是伪造一个内存事务。
+
+AssessManagement 成功只是中间步骤，observedRevision 不前移；完成就绪判定或
+明确失败才产生相应有结论结果。旧版本字符串可供诊断，但失败会清空 evidence。
+
+Instance 不在本轮暴露 CreateDatabase/DeleteDatabase：Tenant 的供应／销毁授权来自
+Tenant 和 OwnershipClaim，不是从 Instance.Ready 推导。数据库执行能力如何承接
+已授权动作，留到 Tenant 对象规格，不在这里设计第二个万能 service。
+
+## 4. 应用层与外部访问边界
+
+```text
+应用层依赖的适配器能力（不传入 Instance）：
+InspectManagement(context, target) -> ManagementObservation | AccessFailure
+InspectRegistry(context, target) -> RegistryObservation | AccessFailure
+EnsureRegistry(context, target) -> Completed | AccessFailure
+```
+
+应用层在 IO 前绑定目标并关联结果，领域对象在接受观察时检查身份和配置匹配；旧
+endpoint 的成功结果不得用于新 endpoint。Inspect 是只读；EnsureRegistry 是幂等初始化／迁移，
+不能顺带建立 Tenant 数据库或接管未知 schema。Completed 不足以推进 Ready，必须回读。
+
+适配器由装配层绑定管理连接；Secret 读取与连接池释放留在该边界之后，Instance
+管理连接不涉及 Bao token。适配器不得把基础设施异常转换成 Ready。失败区分依赖不可用、
+认证失败、权限不足和 registry 不兼容；不兼容属于不可安全继续，不自动覆写。
+registry 不兼容的具体 Condition 映射须在接口规格中确定，不能统一误报权限不足。
+
+管理连接由应用层从 controller namespace 的 Secret 装配；管理员维护 ExternalSecret，
+ESO 负责同步。Instance 路径不直接访问 Bao，也不以 Bao／ESO 当前可用性作为就绪条件。
+首次装配缺少有效 Secret 时失败；已有凭据可正常访问 PG 时继续按 PG 能力判定。
+检测到所引用 Secret 的有效用户名或密码变化时，应用／基础设施层使用新值重建连接池
+并重新采集管理能力观察；metadata 或无关字段变化不重建。不要求 Instance generation
+变化，也不能复用旧连接的成功观察来证明新凭据有效。Secret 变化监听、连接释放和
+刷新均不进入领域对象；应用层保证旧连接观察不混入刷新后的调用链。
+controller 不修改 PostgreSQL 密码、不回写 Secret 或 Bao 管理凭据。
+
+## 5. 状态转换与初始化走查
+
+```text
+Pending --BeginValidation/保存--> Validating
+Validating --AssessManagement(观察)/保存--> InitializingRegistry
+InitializingRegistry --AssessRegistryResult(回读结果)/保存--> Ready
+Ready --配置变化或访问失败/保存--> Validating
+Ready --registry 需修复/保存--> InitializingRegistry
+任意阶段 --删除请求/保存--> Deleting
+```
+
+1. 入口读取 CR，装配 definition、checkpointSnapshot；客户端不注入领域对象。
+2. 应用层按 checkpoint 协调用例；首次调用 BeginValidation，没有 IO。
+3. 保存 Validating。若保存失败，结束本轮，不执行 registry 写入。
+4. 下一轮应用层调用适配器探测实例，将观察交给 AssessManagement；领域判定通过后
+   保存 InitializingRegistry，保存失败则停止，不进行迁移。
+5. 再下一轮应用层采集前置观察，调用 PlanRegistryPreparation。仅在意图已持久化且
+   领域允许时调用 EnsureRegistry；AlreadyUsable 则跳过写入，PreparationDenied 则
+   保存失败结果并停止。允许的操作完成后回读，交给 AssessRegistryResult 决定能否
+   Ready；操作失败也用安全结果交回，不在应用层直接修改 phase。
+6. 入口用原 resourceVersion 前提保存快照；并发变更导致冲突时重新装载，不覆盖新状态。
+7. 后续 Ready 检查先由应用层探测，再调用 AssessReadiness；Tenant 用例同样获取当前事实，不能
+   仅凭另一个 CR 的 Ready Condition 永久缓存授权。实际资源写入仍须处理并发变化。
+
+阶段调度和外部操作顺序在应用层；“观察是否满足业务要求、是否允许准备 registry、
+哪些结果算完成、失败退到哪里”在 Instance 方法内。controller 不重复这些规则，
+也不直接把 phase 设置成 Ready。领域允许操作并不锁住外部世界，适配器仍须保障幂等
+和并发安全；禁止把旧观察当成永久授权。
+
+## 6. 不变量与恢复验收
+
+- UID 不随名称复用；不同 UID 的 evidence/结果不可互用。
+- 未完成当前配置的能力回读，不能新产生 Ready，也不能通过供应检查。
+- checkpoint 可以落后或被伪造；每次初始化／供应前都核对事实。status 清空只需重新
+  验证和幂等准备，不删除 registry，更不能重新生成 Tenant 密码。
+- 迁移成功而 status 保存失败：重试回读已存在 registry，安全完成，不重复破坏性写入。
+- registry 在 Ready 后消失：下一次回读撤销 Ready，保存修复意图后才能重新准备。
+- 外部 IO 超时：产生安全失败结果；保存 status 使用仍有效的外层上下文，不能复用
+  已超时的 IO 上下文而丢失失败状态。
+- 已请求删除的 Instance 不允许新供应；BeginDeletion 不删除 PostgreSQL、Tenant 或
+  Bao。应用层在开始受管时添加并保存 finalizer，而非出现 Tenant 后再添加。
+  删除时查询所有引用它的 Tenant（含删除中的对象）；有引用或查询失败就保留
+  finalizer，确认无引用才移除。引用查询、finalizer 写入和本地连接释放均不属于
+  领域 IO，Instance 只根据删除请求禁用供应能力。
+- 首版不为 Instance 删除增加跨对象锁或准入控制。并发创建的 Tenant CR 不被
+  finalizer 拦截，但遇到删除中／不存在的 Instance 不得开始供应；不承诺取消
+  已在途的外部操作，也不声称引用查询与移除 finalizer 是跨对象原子事务。
+- CheckExtensions 失败不能授权扩展安装；可用列表变化不会自行卸载已有扩展。
+- Snapshot、错误、日志和领域对象格式化不输出明文凭据或 token。
+- 领域测试只提供观察值，无需数据库、网络、context 或 IO mock；相同状态和输入
+  得到相同决策。缺少检查项、目标不匹配和旧配置结果不得产生 Ready。
+
+上述每条都对应领域或用例测试；真实权限检查、迁移与并发保障由适配器集成测试

+[系统规格](specification.md) 为准；下列未决问题不能由实现自行决定。
+PR #6 的代码和已有 registry 表结构是可评估的实现素材，不反向决定领域模型。
+
+## 1. 领域与统一语言
+
+本系统的领域是“在共享 PostgreSQL 上供应并管理应用租户”，不是数据库服务器运维。
+v1alpha1 先采用一个限界上下文，不把 PostgreSQL、Bao、Kubernetes 各自当成业务上下文。
+
+| 术语 | 含义 | 不是什么 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Instance | 平台登记的外部 PostgreSQL 管理对象及其供应策略 | 连接池、VM 或 controller 单例 |
+| Tenant | 一个应用的数据库使用合同及受管资源生命周期 | PostgreSQL database 的别名 |
+| Database | 租户数据库的名称、owner、扩展等期望描述与实际观察 | 包含 Bao 登录与连接关闭的操作接口 |
+| LoginRole | 同时作为 database owner 和应用登录身份的角色 | 额外的 NOLOGIN owner |
+| OwnershipClaim | 某个 Tenant 身份对一组资源名称与凭据位置的所有权声明 | 工作流阶段或仅凭名称推断的归属 |
+| CredentialLocation | 固定推导的凭据位置及所有权关联 | 密码本身或用户可任意选择的 KV path |
+| CredentialProjection | 把既定凭据交付到目标 Secret 的要求与观察结果 | controller 直接写入明文 Secret |
+
+UID 表示一次 Kubernetes 对象身份；namespace/name 用于定位，不足以证明归属。
+database OID 是诊断观察值，不充当本系统的租户身份。
+
+## 2. 候选聚合边界
+
+### Instance：实例能力与供应策略
+
+Instance 是候选聚合根，持有自身身份、endpoint、管理凭据引用、实际可用扩展观察，
+以及用于判断当前能力的观察结果。它不持有所有 Tenant 对象的集合。
+
+其行为包括：
+
+- 判断租户申请的 extension 是否在本实例实际可安装列表中；v1alpha1 暂不实现 allowlist。
+- 根据管理连接、服务器信息、registry 和权限检查结果判断是否具备供应能力。
+- 判断配置变化使哪些能力观察过期，禁止以旧 generation 的 Ready 证明新配置可用。
+- 在 registry 初始化完成并回读验证后，接受新的就绪结果。
+
+“探测实例”“准备管理 registry”是应用用例协调的外部操作，不是 Instance 的 IO 方法。
+领域对象只接收观察值，负责前提、规则和状态决策；应用层调用适配器获取事实与执行
+获准操作。领域对象不持有或调用外部访问端口、客户端或回调。具体选择见
+[Instance 字段与行为](domain-instance.md)，仍处于待评审状态。
+
+### Tenant：供应合同与资源生命周期
+
+Tenant 是另一个候选聚合根，通过身份引用 Instance，而不是 Instance 的聚合成员。
+操作一个 Tenant 不应要求装载、锁定或保存整个实例的租户集合。
+
+Tenant 持有有效的 database/role 名称、请求的扩展、凭据交付目标、删除策略，以及
+已建立的资源绑定。它负责：
+
+- 检查绑定后的不可变字段、extension 只追加规则。
+- 判断外部部分状态属于本 Tenant、尚不存在，还是与未知资源冲突。
+- 决定是否允许继续供应、何时达到 Ready、是否允许释放受管资源。
+- 按 Retain/Delete 合同限制行为，禁止把保留资源自动认领给同名新 UID。
+
+Database、LoginRole 和 CredentialProjection 暂不设独立聚合根或独立 CRUD 用例。
+它们可作为 Tenant 内的资源描述与观察值；有规则才增加行为，不为了“充血”添加方法。
+真实 PostgreSQL database/role 的存在不意味着内存中必须各有一个有身份的实体。
+
+聚合边界是业务规则的保护边界，不表示 Tenant 对应的 PostgreSQL、Bao、ESO 资源
+能够一次事务提交。跨系统供应必须允许部分完成。
+
+### OwnershipClaim：跨租户唯一性与持久证据
+
+名称唯一性不可能只靠某个 Tenant 的内存检查保证。需要一项领域能力，在持久化边界
+原子认领资源；已有 registry 是其适配器候选，仍需结合 catalog 和 Bao metadata 检查。
+
+Claim 与 Tenant 关联，但不随 Tenant CR 消失：Retain 后证据必须继续存在。因此不能
+把它仅视为 CR 的附属 status。是否作为独立的小聚合，先以“可独立持久化、保留并保护
+归属不变量的声明”建模；不因此引入新的 CRD。
+
+- 同一身份、同一绑定的重复认领可以成功；不同 UID 或不同绑定不能覆盖。
+- Claim 预留名称不等于证明同名外部资源由本 controller 创建。
+- 实际写入仍须核对所有权，不能把先查后建当成并发安全保证。
+- 当前 registry 的数据库事务不能覆盖 Bao；跨实例的凭据路径竞争也不能靠单个
+  registry 的唯一约束解决。写入前提与条件创建协议需单独设计和验收。
+
+## 3. 领域、用例与适配器的分工
+
+| 层 | 承担的职责 | 禁止承揽的职责 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 领域对象／策略 | 身份、有效合同、归属判断、允许的动作、完成条件 | 外部 IO（包括通过接口间接调用）、解析 CLI、生成 Kubernetes Condition |
+| 应用用例 | 装载模型与事实、持久化意图、调用能力、回读、提交结果 | 另写一套绕过领域规则的判断流程 |
+| controller 入口 | CR 映射、调度、watch、重试、status/finalizer 写入 | 在 reconcile 中重新定义业务规则 |
+| 基础设施适配器 | PostgreSQL、registry、Bao、ESO 的实际读写与并发保障 | 自行决定接管、改密码或扩大删除范围 |
+| 启动装配 | 校验部署配置，创建共享客户端、连接管理器及用例依赖 | 把连接生命周期当成 Instance 的业务状态 |
+
+领域可使用独立的身份、endpoint、identifier、extension 集合等值对象，不依赖 CRD
+类型、pgx pool 或 Bao SDK。Kubernetes 对象的存取与 registry 的存取不是一个通用
+`Save(Tenant)` 可以原子完成的事情；不虚构跨系统 Unit of Work。
+
+暂不引入事件总线、事件溯源、通用聚合框架或全套 Repository CRUD。领域建模的依据
+是业务规则，而不是接口和目录数量。
+
+## 4. 状态与恢复
+
+CR `status.phase` 仍是已批准的工作流 checkpoint，不在内存对象或 registry 再建一套
+权威 phase。领域对象可以由 CR 的期望状态、checkpoint 和外部观察重新构造。
+
+phase 只决定候选步骤，外部证据决定该步骤是否允许执行、是否已经完成。应用层在
+写操作前保存意图，调用幂等操作后回读，再保存下一 checkpoint。status 写入失败时，
+下次从外部事实识别完成结果；不能重发密码，也不能相信伪造的 Ready。
+
+业务失败区分 InvalidSpec、ImmutableField、Conflict 等；依赖故障由适配器转换成
+安全的能力失败，应用层决定重试并映射 Condition。凭据不进入模型序列化、status、
+事件或错误明细；只能在实际需要它的执行边界短暂传递。
+
+## 5. 用例走查与验收方向
+
+| 场景 | 领域判定 | 应用与适配器执行／恢复 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 登记 Instance | 当前配置的能力要求是否满足 | 读取管理凭据，验证连接与权限，准备并回读 registry；完成后才 Ready |
+| 供应 Tenant | Instance 策略、绑定与归属允许供应 | 保存意图，认领资源，先写并回读 Bao 凭据，再创建 role/database，登录验证和 ESO 投射 |
+| Bao 写入后进程中断 | 同一身份的部分状态可继续 | 回读原凭据继续，不生成第二份密码 |
+| 两个 Tenant 竞争名称 | 只有匹配所有权的一方可继续 | 持久化认领和条件写入裁决竞争，失败方 Conflict，不覆盖资源 |
+| Delete 中断 | 已消失资源可视为完成；剩余资源仍须归属正确 | 按规格顺序继续删除，全部回读不存在后才清 registry 和 finalizer |
+| Retain 后同名 CR 重建 | 新 UID 不等于原所有者 | Conflict，不恢复管理、不改密码 |
+
+领域测试验证规则与决策；adapter 测试验证锁、条件写入、SQL 与协议行为；controller
+测试验证 checkpoint 持久化和重启恢复；E2E 验证最终合同。不能只验证一串 mock 调用
+就声称实现了最终一致性。
+
+## 6. 决策记录与待细化边界
+
+1. **Instance 身份与物理目标（已确认）**：以管理员声明为准，endpoint 变更不验证
+   物理服务器／registry 连续性，不增加安装身份绑定检查；旧观察失效，重验新配置
+   的连接与管理能力。新 CR 视为新 Instance，不自动接管旧 UID 资源或迁移数据。
+2. **Retain 完成条件**：外部依赖不可用不能永久阻止 CR 删除，但 registry 又需标记
+   unmanaged。需定义 CR 消失后的补偿／清扫入口及所需身份依据，不能承诺同时原子
+   完成两者，也不能在没有回读时声称已写入保留标记。
+3. **管理凭据来源与 Ready（已确认）**：Instance 引用 controller namespace 内的
+   管理 Secret 名称和字段；管理员维护 ExternalSecret，ESO 同步。controller 不直接
+   从 Bao 读取管理凭据。已有凭据仍可访问 PG 时，Bao／ESO 故障不撤销 Instance Ready；
+   首次装配无有效 Secret 则失败。Secret 的有效用户名／密码变化时重建管理连接池并
+   重验，不因无关字段变化重建；controller 不修改 PG 密码，不回写 Secret 或 Bao。
+4. **绑定时机**：系统规格写“首次成功后不可变”，API 文档写“首次创建外部状态后
+   不可变”。应明确绑定在认领、首次外部写入还是 Ready 时固定，及如何在 status 丢失
+   后恢复；否则供应中途改名称可能产生无人管理的资源。
+
+5. **Instance 删除（已确认）**：开始受管即添加 finalizer；删除期间停止新供应，
+   有 Tenant 引用就等待，无引用才解除，不级联删除外部资源。首版采用 finalizer
+   与引用检查，不引入跨对象锁／准入控制；不保证并发创建与删除的原子性。
+
+Tenant 的 Retain 等待决行为留到 Tenant 设计，不属于本轮 Instance 设计范围。
+相关用例在决策批准前不进入实现，不同时实现整套模型。

+2026-09-13 已确认管理连接修订：Instance 引用 controller namespace 内的管理 Secret，

 具体设计决策和本文整体已于 2026-09-10 获得批准，可以进入 API reference、测试和
 实现阶段。同日确认状态机修订：两个 CR 的 `status.phase` 是 controller 工作流的权威
 checkpoint；PostgreSQL registry 只承担所有权、安装身份和保留状态。
