Use when adding tenant isolation to a Go service. Skip for non-Go services or organization_id-style soft tenancy."
Multi-Tenant Development Cycle
When to use
- User requests multi-tenant implementation for a Go service
- User asks to add tenant isolation to an existing service
- Task mentions "multi-tenant", "tenant isolation", "dispatch layer", "postgres.Manager", "WithPG", "WithMB", "EventListener", "TenantCache", "TenantLoader"
Skip when
- Service is not a Go project
- Task does not involve multi-tenancy or tenant isolation
- Service is a shared infrastructure component operating outside tenant context
- Task is documentation-only or non-code
You orchestrate. Agents implement. NEVER use Edit/Write/Bash on Go source files. All code changes go through `Task(subagent_type="ring:backend-go")`. TDD mandatory for all implementation gates (RED → GREEN → REFACTOR).
Multi-Tenant Architecture
Isolation: `tenantId` from JWT → dispatch layer middleware → database-per-tenant. `organization_id` is NOT multi-tenant. `tenantId` from JWT is the ONLY mechanism.

**Key mandatory requirements:**
- `MULTI_TENANT_URL` — correct env var name (NOT `TENANT_MANAGER_ADDRESS`)
- 4 canonical metrics (from multi-tenant.md) — all MANDATORY
- Circuit breaker: `client.WithCircuitBreaker` — MANDATORY
- Service API key: `client.WithServiceAPIKey` — MANDATORY
- Tenant middleware: per-route `WhenEnabled()` — NOT global `app.Use`
- All context helpers: `tmcore.GetPGContext(ctx)` / `tmcore.GetMBContext(ctx)` — NEVER `.GetDB()` directly

Gate Overview
| Gate | Name | Condition | Agent | |------|------|-----------|-------| | 0 | Stack Detection + Compliance Audit | Always | Orchestrator | | 1 | Codebase Analysis (multi-tenant focus) | Always | ring:codebase-explorer | | 1.5 | Implementation Preview | Always | ring:visualizing | | 2 | lib-commons v5 + lib-auth v2 Upgrade | Skip only if both already pinned in go.mod | ring:backend-go | | 3 | Multi-Tenant Configuration | Always | ring:backend-go | | 4 | Tenant Middleware (TenantMiddleware with WithPG/WithMB) | Always | ring:backend-go | | 5 | Repository Adaptation | Always per detected DB | ring:backend-go | | 5.5 | M2M Secret Manager | Skip if service has no targetServices | ring:backend-go | | 6 | RabbitMQ Multi-Tenant | Skip if no RabbitMQ | ring:backend-go | | 7 | Metrics & Backward Compat | Always | ring:backend-go | | 8 | Tests | Always | ring:backend-go | | 9 | Code Review | Always | 9 defaults + triggered specialists in parallel | | 10 | User Validation | Always | User | | 11 | Activation Guide | Always | Orchestrator |
Gates execute sequentially. Existing multi-tenant code ≠ compliance. Gate 0 audit is mandatory.
Gate 0: Stack Detection + Compliance Audit
Orchestrator executes directly. Two phases:
**Phase 1: Stack Detection**
grep "lib-commons" go.mod
grep "lib-auth" go.mod
grep -rn "postgresql\|pgx" internal/ go.mod
grep -rn "mongodb\|mongo" internal/ go.mod
grep -rn "redis\|valkey" internal/ go.mod
grep -rn "rabbitmq\|amqp" internal/ go.mod
grep -rn "s3\|ObjectStorage" internal/
grep -rn "MULTI_TENANT_ENABLED\|dispatch layer" internal/
grep -rn "client_credentials\|M2M\|secretsmanager" internal/
**Phase 2: Compliance Audit** (if multi-tenant code detected)
Run A1-A8 checks (grep-based):
- A1: `MULTI_TENANT_URL` used (not `TENANT_MANAGER_ADDRESS` or variants)
- A2: `WithCircuitBreaker` on TM client
- A3: `WithServiceAPIKey` on TM client
- A4: `tmcore.GetPGContext` / `tmcore.GetMBContext` used (not `.GetDB()` / `.GetDatabase()`)
- A5: Tenant middleware per-route `WhenEnabled()` (not global `app.Use`)
- A6: Redis keys use `valkey.GetKeyContext`
- A7: S3 keys use `s3.GetS3KeyStorageContext`
- A8: No global DB singletons (`var db *sql.DB` or `var client *mongo.Client`)
Any NON-COMPLIANT → corresponding gate MUST execute.
