DAB now creates and removes role assignments through a bulk pipeline (bulk_give_permissions/give_assignments -> bulk_create and bulk_remove_permissions/remove_assignments -> queryset .delete()), neither of which emits per-row post_save/post_delete. The four per-row receivers AWX had on RoleUserAssignment/RoleTeamAssignment therefore stop firing once every grant path routes through the bulk pipeline. Replace them with two handlers on DAB's bulk signals (dab_rbac_assignments_created / dab_rbac_assignments_pre_delete). Exactly one handler is connected to each signal, and each does both jobs in one pass over the batch: the old-RBAC Role.members mirror and the activity-stream recording. This is the performance + cleanup half of AAP-85842 (per-row post_save is slow for large bulk grants). - awx/main/models/rbac.py: remove sync_user_assignments_to_old_rbac_create and sync_assignments_to_old_rbac_delete; add handle_dab_assignments_created and handle_dab_assignments_pre_delete. The pre_delete signal fires while the row still exists, so add the missing rbac_sync_enabled guard to sync_parents_to_new_rbac to prevent the team-assignment mirror from recursing. - awx/main/signals.py: remove record_role_assignment_activity_stream and record_role_unassignment_activity_stream; keep the shared _record_role_assignment_activity_stream helper the new handlers call. - test_dab_rbac_activity_stream.py: grant/remove global roles through give_global_permission/remove_global_permission (the supported entry point, which now routes through the bulk pipeline) and add a global removal test. - requirements_git.txt: temporarily point at the DAB branch for CI. Restore the devel/released pin before merge once ansible/django-ansible-base#1116 lands. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

_record_role_assignment_activity_stream dereferenced instance.content_object,
one query per assignment — the per-row cost this migration set out to remove
(AAP-85842) reappearing in the activity-stream path.
Add _prefetch_assignment_content_objects, which builds a
{(content_type_id, object_id): instance} lookup once per bulk signal: it seeds
from the content_objects dict the signal already supplies (populated on the
bulk_give_permissions / bulk_remove_permissions paths) and, for anything not
covered, bulk-fetches the referenced objects grouped by content type — one
query for the content types plus one in_bulk per type, instead of one query
per row. Content types that don't resolve to a local model (remote/federated)
are left to a per-row fallback. Both bulk handlers build the lookup once and
pass it through to each recording call.
Add a query-count test asserting the lookup batches by type rather than
scaling with the number of assignments.

The old-RBAC Role.members / children mirror (_sync_assignments_to_old_rbac) was still fully per-row: for each assignment it dereferenced instance.role_definition.name (1 query), instance.object_role.content_object (ObjectRole FK + generic content object, 2 queries) and instance.actor (1 query) — more per-row overhead than the activity-stream path. Batch it the same way: - _field_names_for_old_rbac resolves every role_definition_id -> legacy field name in one query, so the name lookup no longer fires per row. - The handlers pass the already-prefetched content object through, so the ObjectRole + content_object dereference is skipped when the object is known. - User assignments add/remove by user_id and branch on the assignment class instead of dereferencing instance.actor to get the user object. _sync_assignments_to_old_rbac keeps its original single-row behavior when content_object / field_name are not supplied (both default to a sentinel), so any other caller is unaffected. Add a test that the field-name resolution is a single query regardless of batch size. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
_record_role_assignment_activity_stream and _prefetch_assignment_content_objects were left in signals.py but are no longer connected to any Django signal — their only callers are the two DAB bulk handlers in awx.main.models.rbac. Move both next to those handlers so the role-assignment logic lives in one place, and drop the now-redundant cross-module lazy imports. The activity-stream infrastructure they lean on (activity_stream_enabled, get_activity_stream_class, get_current_user_or_none, emit_activity_stream_change) stays in signals.py and is imported lazily to avoid a models<->signals import cycle. Also drop the remote/federated content-type branch from the prefetch helper: AWX has no remote objects, so get_remote_base_class and the issubclass guard were dead weight. Remove the orphaned functions and the now-unused RoleUserAssignment import from signals.py. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ct fetches Source the linked object solely from DAB's content_objects dict. When DAB resolved the object (the normal bulk_give_permissions / bulk_remove_permissions path) the recorder derives the object type, id and name straight off that instance and links the entry; when it did not (a direct give_assignments, a global role, or an object that is already gone) the entry is recorded with just the role and actor and no object link. The recorder never fetches the object itself - that per-row fetch is the regression this migration removes (AAP-85842) - so it no longer needs the batch prefetch, and because it only ever links an object DAB actually resolved the m2m link can never dangle. Add coverage for the Platform Auditor global role and for the narrow paths where DAB does not supply the object (a missing row and a degenerate non-integer object_id), which are recorded as bare entries without a link. Marginal cost is a constant +3 queries/assignment for both associate and disassociate - O(N), no new scaling factor. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…_old_roles The helper mirrors a single assignment (one instance) into the legacy Role objects, so the plural "assignments" was misleading and "old_roles" names the target more precisely than "old_rbac". The batching over a set of assignments lives in the bulk-signal handlers, not in this per-instance helper. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ment_to_old_role) One assignment maps to exactly one legacy Role - the helper resolves a single field_name and adds/removes the member on that one role - so the target is singular too, matching the singular "assignment". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The two bulk handlers always pass field_name, resolved once for the whole batch by _field_names_for_old_rbac. The _UNSET fallback re-derived it from instance.role_definition.name - the exact per-row dereference the batch exists to avoid - and no other caller reaches this helper, so drop it and make field_name required. content_object stays optional: it legitimately arrives _UNSET on the narrow path where DAB did not supply the object, and the per-row fallback there is intentional. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…mirror DAB now materializes both content_object and role_definition on the assignments it hands to the bulk signals, so the mirror no longer needs to do extra work to recover them: - Resolve the content object with instance.content_object (which reads the assignment's own cached content_type/object_id) instead of hopping through instance.object_role.content_object - one lookup, not two - on the narrow path where DAB did not supply it. A missing local object resolves to None, so the try/except ObjectDoesNotExist (and its import) is dropped. - Drop _field_names_for_old_rbac: its per-batch RoleDefinition query bought nothing now that instance.role_definition is cached, so _sync_assignment_to_old_role resolves the legacy field from instance.role_definition.name (no query) and no longer takes a field_name argument. Add test_role_definition_materialized_on_signal_instances asserting that reading role_definition.name on the delivered instances issues zero queries on both the created and pre_delete paths, guarding the assumption these changes rely on.

Summary
DAB now creates and removes role assignments through a bulk pipeline (
bulk_give_permissions/give_assignments→bulk_create, andbulk_remove_permissions/remove_assignments→ queryset.delete()), neither of which emits per-rowpost_save/post_delete. AWX's four per-row receivers onRoleUserAssignment/RoleTeamAssignmenttherefore stop firing once every grant path routes through the bulk pipeline.This replaces them with two handlers on DAB's bulk signals (
dab_rbac_assignments_created/dab_rbac_assignments_pre_delete). Exactly one handler is connected per signal, and each does both jobs in a single pass over the batch: the old-RBACRole.membersmirror and the activity-stream recording. This is the performance + cleanup half of AAP-85842 — per-rowpost_saveis slow for large bulk grants.Changes

Must be restored to the devel/released pin before merge, once [bugfix-pem-validation] #1116 lands.Edge cases handled
