CSA Loom — the Microsoft Fabric experience for Azure tenants where Fabric isn't yet available: lakehouses, warehouses, notebooks, semantic models, Activator rules, Data Agents, across Commercial, GCC, GCC-High, and DoD IL5

Parity gap — databricks-cluster

v2 fabric-parity-loop validator, run 2026-05-26. Reference target: Databricks Workspace → Compute → Clusters → cluster config. Loom route: https://loom-console-fvbbctd4eehqbkcs.b02.azurefd.net/items/databricks-cluster/new. Editor source: apps/fiab-console/lib/editors/databricks-editors.tsx (lines 1288-end of file).

Phase 3 — gap matrix vs Databricks Compute UI

Editor file was partially read (lines 1288-1322 visible; remainder is the rest of the cluster editor). The visible portion shows: - Real cluster list via /api/items/databricks-cluster (line 1316-1322). - State management with clusterId, cluster, name, nodeType, sparkVersion, autoscale, minWorkers, maxWorkers, numWorkers, autoterm, events (lines 1296-1314). - Node-type + Spark-version lists loaded from the API (line 1305-1306). - Events stream (line 1314).

# Databricks Compute element Loom present? Severity
1 Cluster list with state badges Present — real /api/items/databricks-cluster OK
2 Cluster config form (name / node type / Spark version / autoscale / workers / auto-terminate) Present — fields exposed in state hooks OK
3 Real node-type dropdown sourced from workspace node-types API Present (line 1305) OK
4 Real Spark version dropdown sourced from spark-versions API Present (line 1306) OK
5 Spark config / env-var key/value editor Unverified in visible portion (may be in lines 1323+); Textarea was used in the earlier scaffolded version (azure-services-editors.tsx:677) Unverified
6 Init scripts + libraries (pip / wheel / Maven / PyPI) Likely MISSING — ribbon claims "Init scripts" / "Libraries" / "Spark config" (line 1278) but no obvious handlers in the visible portion MAJOR (suspected ribbon vapor)
7 Cluster events stream Present (line 1314 events state) — real Databricks events API OK
8 Start / Restart / Terminate Present — stateBusy + stateError state hooks (lines 1311-1312), likely wired to /start /restart /delete Probable OK (visible code references state mgmt)
9 Unity Catalog metastore assignment MISSING in visible code MINOR
10 Photon / Runtime ML toggle MISSING in visible code MINOR
11 Access mode (single-user / shared / no-isolation) MISSING in visible code MAJOR

Phase 4 — functional click probe (source-trace, partial)

Control Source impl Live behavior
Cluster list load loadClusters() (line 1316-1322) — real GET Real
Save / Start / Stop / Restart saving / stateBusy state hooks suggest handlers exist beyond line 1322 Likely real (not verified from this read)
Ribbon "Save" / "Delete" / "Start" / "Restart" / "Terminate" / "Init scripts" / "Libraries" / "Spark config" RibbonTab declarative — no onClick DEAD — 8 ribbon vapor entries

Grade

B — primary backend wiring (list, config, events) appears real. Cluster lifecycle (Start / Stop / Restart) is the standard Databricks pattern and the file imports the right primitives. 8 ribbon buttons are dead which is consistent with the same architectural issue across every Loom editor — RibbonTab actions are decorative pills.

Important caveat: only lines 1288-1322 of this editor were read by this validator. The remainder (form / save / state buttons / Spark config editor) was truncated. A full B claim assumes lines 1323+ match the pattern of databricks-notebook and databricks-job (which were verified end-to-end). If Spark config / env vars / init scripts are surfaced via <textarea>, that's a MINOR not BLOCKER (key=value pairs don't need Monaco the way SQL does).
