This report explains the application-level queue deadlock that occurs when subscriber notifications try to query the database while a transaction is still holding the perform() queue lock. Key findings: - NOT a database-level deadlock (SQLite transaction completes first) - Application-level queue deadlock (perform() queue circular dependency) - Bypass is safe with single connection (no race conditions possible) - Would become more complex with WAL mode + read connection pool The report includes: - Step-by-step call stack showing the circular dependency - Visual diagrams of the deadlock scenario - Explanation of why the bypass works - Analysis of root cause (synchronous subscriber notifications) - Recommendations for architectural improvements - Implications for future WAL mode implementation This clarifies question commontoolsinc#4 from the original investigation.
