This is an automated cherry-pick of #6254

What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: close #6243

What is changed and how it works?

  • Detect tables becoming eligible after DDL and notify the table trigger to create dispatchers, preventing subsequent CREATE TABLE LIKE from blocking.
  • Add DDL whitelist integration tests covering replication, filtering, and eligibility transitions.

According to the doc, there may be a risk of data inconsistency:

When the upstream table has no valid index and force-replicate=true is not configured, the table will not be replicated. However, subsequent DDL statements (including CREATE INDEX, ADD INDEX, and ADD PRIMARY KEY) that create a valid index on this table will be replicated, which might cause inconsistency between downstream and upstream table schemas and lead to subsequent data replication failure.

Check List

Tests

  • Unit test
  • Integration test
  • Manual test (add detailed scripts or steps below)
  1. Create a cluster
tiup playground --db 1 --pd 1 --kv 1 --tiflash 0 --ticdc 1 --ticdc.binpath xxx --ticdc.config ./ticdc-newarch.toml
#Create a changefeed
tiup cdc:v8.5.8 cli changefeed create -c test --sink-uri 'blackhole://'
  1. Create an ineligible table
CREATE TABLE test.a (pk BIGINT NOT NULL);
#Add a primary key to this table
ALTER TABLE test.a ADD PRIMARY KEY (pk);
#Create another table that depends on it
CREATE TABLE test.b LIKE test.a;
  1. Changefeed lag is normal

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 CREATE TABLE LIKE could stall replication after adding a primary or unique key to a previously ineligible table.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Tables can automatically become eligible or ineligible for replication when primary keys or unique, non-null keys are added or removed.
    • DDL filtering now handles replication-key transitions consistently across standard, forced, and ignored configurations.
    • Historical table schema lookup and DDL timestamp tracking support reliable recovery and partition-related changes.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented unintended replay or deletion of table metadata during replication-key loss recovery.
    • Preserved DDL timestamp tracking during column and index changes.
    • Improved handling of schema drops and table registration during DDL processing.

Review Change StackReview Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change tracks replication-key acquisition and loss in persisted DDL events, reconstructs historical table schemas, routes eligibility events, preserves recovery metadata, and adds unit and integration coverage for default, forced, and ignored replication modes.

Changes

Replication-key eligibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Event schema and historical enrichment
logservice/schemestore/types.go, logservice/schemestore/types_gen.go, logservice/schemestore/persist_storage.go, logservice/schemestore/persist_storage_ddl_handlers.go, logservice/schemastore/table_info_lookup_test.go
Persisted DDL events record replication-key acquisition and loss. Historical schema lookup reads persisted history and snapshots. DDL enrichment uses the schema before the DDL.
Eligibility event routing
logservice/schemastore/persist_storage_ddl_handlers.go, logservice/schemastore/eligibility_test.go, pkg/filter/filter.go, pkg/filter/filter_test.go, logservice/schemastore/persist_storage_test.go
Eligibility-changing DDLs update trigger history and produce table-trigger or dispatcher events according to filters and force-replication settings. Drop-schema handling now reports affected physical tables as deleted.
Downstream recovery preservation
pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_for_ddl_ts.go, pkg/sink/mysql/mysql_writer_ddl_ts_test.go, pkg/applier/redo_test.go
Key-changing ALTER operations retain per-table DDL-ts entries. Recovery tests cover completed and unfinished key-loss DDLs.
DDL whitelist integration coverage
tests/integration_tests/ddl_whitelist/*, tests/integration_tests/run_heavy_it_in_ci.sh, pkg/common/table_info_shared_schema_guard_test.go, tools/check/go.mod
A MySQL integration test covers replicated, forced, and ignored DDLs, key transitions, dispatcher counts, and downstream snapshots. The test runs in the heavy CI group. Supporting test-version and tooling references are updated.

Explanation

Most changes support [#6243], but two changes have no demonstrated connection to replication eligibility or blocked DDLs. tools/check/go.mod only upgrades github.com/daixiang0/gci from v0.13.5 to v0.13.7. pkg/common/table_info_shared_schema_guard_test.go only refreshes shared-schema expectations from TiDB master to release-8.5. These are unrelated tooling and compatibility-test changes.
