What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #6202 ref #5083

What is changed and how it works?

Recover tables created after the bootstrap checkpoint from DDL history, preserving surviving dispatchers and split eligibility while repairing missing span coverage. This avoids duplicate scheduling during maintainer failover.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Integration test

Questions

Will it cause performance regression or break compatibility?
Do you need to update user documentation, design documentation or monitoring documentation?

Release note

 Fix an issue where maintainer failover could create duplicate table dispatchers and cause changefeed restarts.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved maintainer failover recovery for tables created after the bootstrap snapshot by using confirmed schema history.
    • Restored replication tasks and cleanup operators for newly created tables, including split eligibility and range coverage.
    • Prevented dropped tables and stale dispatcher state from creating unwanted scheduled tasks.
    • Replaced terminal task spans for newly added tables with fresh tasks at the appropriate DDL checkpoint.
    • Improved bootstrap handling when schema history is temporarily unresolved by retrying instead of rebuilding incomplete tasks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Bootstrap now identifies post-snapshot table additions through resolved DDL history. It restores their spans and operators with table-specific timestamps, avoids adopting dropped tables, and validates failover, splitting, and replication behavior.

Changes

DDL-backed bootstrap recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Discover confirmed post-snapshot tables
maintainer/maintainer_controller.go, maintainer/maintainer_controller_bootstrap.go, pkg/eventservice/test_helper.go, maintainer/maintainer_controller_test.go
Bootstrap matches runtime candidates with resolved table-trigger DDL history. It retries when history is unresolved and supports paginated history in tests.
Restore added-table coverage and operators
maintainer/maintainer_controller_bootstrap.go, maintainer/maintainer_controller_test.go
Bootstrap restores spans, repairs holes, preserves split eligibility, replaces terminal spans, and restores create or remove operators. Dropped tables without operators are not adopted.
Validate failover and test execution
tests/integration_tests/maintainer_failover_when_operator/*, tests/integration_tests/run_light_it_in_ci.sh
Integration coverage verifies replication, splitting, DML synchronization, dropped-table cleanup, and the selected light CI test.

Explanation

tests/integration_tests/run_light_it_in_ci.sh replaces the configured test list for every light CI group with only maintainer_failover_when_operator. This suppresses unrelated light tests and is not required to implement issue #6202. The targeted integration-test changes in tests/integration_tests/maintainer_failover_when_operator/run.sh are in scope.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 20.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 10 functions across 6 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

A rabbit checks the DDL trail,
And finds each table without fail.
Spans mend gaps and operators align,
Split maps keep their proper line.
Dropped tables fade from view,
While failover tests confirm it true.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the selected light-CI group tests.

This assignment ignores groups[10#${group_num}]. Every valid group now runs only maintainer_failover_when_operator. The light CI job skips all other tests in mysql_groups, kafka_groups, pulsar_groups, and storage_groups.

Add this regression test to the required group, or append it to the selected group. Do not replace the group list.

Proposed fix
-	test_names="maintainer_failover_when_operator"
+	test_names="${groups[10#${group_num}]}"
