[Deprecation] Legacy Routes Service (legacy-routes) #212

@silug

Description

@silug

Summary

Legacy 3.x compatibility routing is still implemented via dedicated legacy-routes service and adapter logic. Comments indicate this compatibility is intended to be removed.

Why This Is Soft / Inferred

No single explicit runtime deprecation warning is emitted for the service itself, but code comments repeatedly frame it as a temporary compatibility hack.

Evidence

  • src/clj/puppetlabs/services/master/master_service.clj:182 comment says old route-config hack can be removed when legacy routes are removed.
  • src/clj/puppetlabs/services/master/master_core.clj:1315 comment repeats removal condition for legacy routes support.
  • src/clj/puppetlabs/services/legacy_routes/legacy_routes_service.clj implements dedicated legacy routing service for compatibility endpoints.

Proposed Plan

  • OpenVox Server 9:
    • Add explicit startup warning when legacy-routes service is enabled.
    • Publish migration guidance to modern routes only.
  • Next major release:
    • Remove legacy-routes service and compatibility route rewrites.

Compatibility / Risk

  • High risk for older/legacy agent traffic still requiring v3/legacy path behavior.
  • Requires compatibility matrix validation before final removal.

Implementation Notes

  • Instrument legacy-route hit counts to assess real usage before hard removal.
  • Coordinate with agent support policy.

Acceptance Criteria

  • OpenVox Server 9 emits explicit deprecation signal when legacy routes are active.
  • Removal target and timeline are documented.
  • Follow-up major release issue is created for actual deletion.

Suggested Tests

  • Startup/logging tests for deprecation warning.
  • Route compatibility tests retained in 9; removal tests in next major.
