构建 Raft 领导者选举

项目概述

本项目实现一个面向 consensus leadership 的完整系统，核心要解决的问题是 electing a single leader that survives network partitions and node restarts without split brain。整体由 Term tracker、Vote requester、Heartbeat sender、Log replicator、State machine 五个模块组成，每个模块单一职责、可独立测试，最后通过集成测试验证端到端正确性。设计上把 a partitioned minority that cannot reach a majority and must stay inert to avoid electing a competing leader 作为第一类需求先行处理，而非事后再补。

架构与关键决策

数据模型为 a monotonic term, a voted-for field, and a log of committed entries that a leader replicates to a majority before applying。Term tracker 定义其余阶段共同依赖的数据形状并在边界处校验输入；Vote requester 承载 consensus leadership 的正确性逻辑；Heartbeat sender 专门处理 a partitioned minority that cannot reach a majority and must stay inert to avoid electing a competing leader，在失败路径上给出明确的拒绝、重试或降级策略；Log replicator 提供可观测性，每次操作输出带关联 id 的结构化事件；State machine 在过载时按既定方式降级，避免过载演变为数据损坏。配置与代码分离，使风险变更可经 diff 审阅。

实施与测试

按五个阶段依次实现 Term tracker、Vote requester、Heartbeat sender、Log replicator、State machine，每阶段配套聚焦单测。集成测试组合各模块并驱动真实 consensus leadership 场景：先验证正常路径，再刻意触发 a partitioned minority that cannot reach a majority and must stay inert to avoid electing a competing leader 并断言系统降级而非损坏。所有依赖均在进程内或被桩替换，用例在 CI 中确定可复现。

限制与后续

• 单区域设计，多区域复制超出范围。
• Term tracker 默认进程内，未水平共享。
• 无鉴权层，假定部署在强制身份的边缘之后。
