Stratara.Mediator
Derived. The behaviour described here is specified under
openspec/specs/. Those specifications are the source; this page explains and illustrates them.
License: MIT.
In-process mediator with DI-resolved handlers and pipeline behaviors. Drop-in replacement for MediatR-style routing without the runtime cost of MethodInfo.Invoke — uses a typed wrapper cache and direct DI dispatch.
Quick start
services.AddMediator()
.AddCommandHandlersFromAssemblyContaining<Program>()
.AddQueryHandlersFromAssemblyContaining<Program>()
.AddPipelineBehaviorWithResult(typeof(LoggingBehavior<,>))
.AddPipelineBehavior(typeof(LoggingBehavior<>));
// Optional: wrap in authorization decorator
services.AddAuthorizingMediator<MyAuthorizationProvider>();
Every dispatch is traced as a span named Handle <RequestType>. The spans come from the
Stratara.Application activity source — subscribe to it and they appear; register your own
OpenTelemetry Tracer and the mediator uses that instead. Nothing has to be registered for the
mediator to start.
IMediator is registered scoped. Resolve it from a scope (a request scope in ASP.NET Core, or
an explicit IServiceProvider.CreateScope() in a console host) — resolving it from the root
provider throws.
What's in the box
IMediator.HandleAsync<TResult>(IRequest<TResult>, CancellationToken)— routes queries and commands-with-result toIQueryHandler<TRequest, TResult>through any registeredIPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResult>chain.IMediator.HandleAsync<TRequest>(TRequest, CancellationToken)— routes void commands toICommandHandler<TRequest>through any registeredIPipelineBehavior<TRequest>chain.AuthorizingMediatordecorator — checks[RequireRole]attributes viaIAuthorizationProviderand[RequirePermission]attributes viaIPermissionResolver(both AND) on the request's runtime type before delegating to the inner mediator. Its startup validator fails fast when a permission-guarded type is registered without an authorizing mediator or without a resolver, so a guard can never be silently skipped.BucketLockPool— concurrency primitive that serialisesIAggregateScopedCommanddispatch per bucket id. Used by message-bus consumers (e.g. theMediatorCommandWorkerinStratara.Outbox.RabbitMQ) to keep aggregate writes single-writer.
Pipeline behavior contract
Behaviors run outer-to-inner in DI registration order:
public sealed class LoggingBehavior<TRequest, TResult> : IPipelineBehavior<TRequest, TResult>
where TRequest : IRequest<TResult>
{
public async Task<TResult> HandleAsync(
TRequest request, Func<Task<TResult>> next, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
// before
var result = await next();
// after
return result;
}
}
Tenant isolation
AddStrataraTenantIsolation() registers a pipeline behavior that enforces tenant isolation at the
mediator entrance — before the handler runs — for any request that opts in by implementing the
ITenantScopedRequest marker. Requests that do not implement the marker pass through untouched.
public sealed record GetCustomerQuery(Guid CustomerId, Guid TenantId)
: IQuery<CustomerDto>, ITenantScopedRequest;
services
.AddStrataraValidation() // validation stays outermost
.AddStrataraTenantIsolation(); // then tenant isolation
The behavior compares the request's TenantId (the data owner) against the ambient session's
data-owner tenant (SessionContext.TenantId), not the actor tenant (SessionContext.ActorTenantId).
A request whose payload names a different tenant than the established session subject is rejected with
TenantAccessDeniedException (translated to HTTP 403 on ASP.NET hosts that register
AddStrataraProblemDetails() from Stratara.ServiceDefaults.AspNetCore, or 401 for a caller that is not authenticated; surfaced through the
message-failure path on workers).
Default vs. strict mode
TenantIsolationMode.Default— enforces only the subject match. A privileged cross-tenant operation (actor tenant ≠ data-owner tenant) passes, because the calling endpoint is expected to have promoted the session's data-owner tenant to the target before dispatch.TenantIsolationMode.Strict— additionally routes every cross-tenant operation through anICrossTenantAuthorizer. Stratara registers a deny-all default (viaTryAdd), so strict mode rejects all cross-tenant access until you register your own authorizer that grants it:
services.AddStrataraTenantIsolation(o => o.Mode = TenantIsolationMode.Strict);
services.AddScoped<ICrossTenantAuthorizer, PlatformAdminCrossTenantAuthorizer>();
internal sealed class PlatformAdminCrossTenantAuthorizer(IHttpContextAccessor http)
: ICrossTenantAuthorizer
{
public ValueTask<bool> IsCrossTenantAllowedAsync(SessionContext session, CancellationToken ct) =>
ValueTask.FromResult(http.HttpContext?.User.IsInRole("PlatformAdmin") ?? false);
}
The behavior runs both in-process (queries via
IMediatorat the endpoint, whereHttpContextis available) and worker-side (commands dispatched through the outbox, where there is noHttpContext). AnICrossTenantAuthorizerthat needs request-role state should be applied on the in-process path; the worker path must base its decision on theSessionContextalone.

|---|---|
|
Stratara.Validation
Vendor-neutral request validation for the Stratara framework — a mediator pipeline behavior that runs IValidator<T> implementations before the handler and throws an aggregated StrataraValidationException on failure. No FluentValidation dependency; an optional adapter is shipped separately. |
|
|
Stratara.Outbox.RabbitMQ
Outbox-pattern command and event dispatch for the Stratara event-sourced stack — RabbitMQ IMessageBus implementation, retry worker, mediator command worker, and Redis-coordinated projection-replay state. Azure Service Bus support ships as the sibling Stratara.Outbox.AzureServiceBus package. |
|
|
Stratara.Infrastructure
Infrastructure glue for the Stratara framework — authorization decorators, configuration providers, and DI composition helpers that wire Mediator, Outbox, Identity, and EF Core into a hosted app. |

A release about errors that were not errors. Where two writers insert the same row at once — two
deliveries forgetting a deleted tenant, two activations writing a partition's first checkpoint, two
hosts importing one API key — the framework already recovered, but EF Core had logged the losing
statement at Error first; on PostgreSQL and SQLite the insert now skips a row that is already there.
And a RabbitMQ bus whose broker went away first no longer reports a warning for every subscription it
stops, nor a failed handler for a message it merely could not acknowledge. No migration and no
configuration change is needed.
### Fixed
- **Forgetting a deleted tenant leaves no error in the log when two deliveries race.** A tenant's two
deletion facts arrive in two bundles, so two deliveries of one projection can record the same tenant
at once. The losing insert was caught and the tenant recorded all the same, but EF Core had already
logged the failed statement at Error (`20102` and `10000`), so a customer deletion could leave two
errors in a projection worker's log. On PostgreSQL and SQLite the tenants are now recorded with an
insert that skips a row already there; on other providers the store still retries, and EF Core still
logs the statement that lost.
- **A projection checkpoint's first write, and an API key two hosts import at once, leave no error in
the log.** Two activations of one reader that overlap during a failover can both write a partition's
first checkpoint, and hosts that seed the same key as they boot import it at once. The writer whose
insert lost recovered — it took the other's checkpoint over, or adopted the other's key — but EF Core
had already logged the failed statement at Error. On PostgreSQL and SQLite the insert now skips a row
that is already there, as the record of forgotten tenants does; a checkpoint that another writer
inserted and removed again before it could be taken over is refused with an
`InvalidOperationException`. An import takes that path only where it is the only write on its
context, and then writes the key and its membership in one transaction of its own, outside
`SaveChanges` and its interceptors. An import on a context with unsaved changes or inside a
transaction of the caller's saves through `SaveChanges` as before, and so does a table a consumer
widened with columns the row does not carry, and every other provider: there the writer still
recovers, and EF Core still logs the statement that lost.
- **A RabbitMQ subscription whose broker is already gone stops without a warning.** When a stack stops
its broker before its hosts, a stopping subscription's cancel met a connection that had already
closed, or that closed while the cancel waited for its reply, and every subscription of every host
logged `108_107` at Warning — new in 4.4.0, which made a subscription cancel its consumer before it
closes. A closed connection has no consumer left to cancel, which is where the stop was going, so
this is now logged at Debug as `108_007` (`LogEvents.Messaging.SubscriptionAlreadyClosed`). A cancel
that fails while the connection is still up still warns.
- **A handler that completes after the broker went away is no longer reported as failed.** Its
acknowledgement met a closed channel, and the RabbitMQ bus logged `108_101` at Error although the
handler had succeeded, then tried to reject the message on the same closed channel. It now logs
`108_008` (`LogEvents.Messaging.MessageNotSettledChannelClosed`) at Information: the message could
not be settled, and the broker delivers it again.
