fix(realtime)!: a socket closing mid-subscribe leaked a query entry for the life of the process - #107
Conversation
…or the life of the process Slices 02 and 06 of the deep-dive audit, realtime half — eighteen findings, four of them Critical, plus the benchmark claim that could not have caught any of them. **Every subscribe path attached to the book after its awaits.** That one shape is three of the four Criticals. A socket closing during `authorize`/`prepare`/`#read` strands a `QueryEntry` — matcher, shared row window, retained change buffer — for the process lifetime, because `teardown` walks a book the in-flight subscribe has not written to yet. Two concurrent subscribes to one topic open two transport subscriptions; the orphan is unreachable by `#release` and survives socket close, `teardown` and `hub.close()`. And N subscribe frames in one WebSocket write walk past `maxPerSocket`, `maxPerTenant` and `maxTopicsPerSocket`, because each reads a count the registration has not yet grown. Fixed with synchronous **reservations** — the sid claim and both caps decided in one step before the first await — plus per-key FIFO **frame lanes** (`mutate` per socket, `subscribe` per sid). The lanes are not what closes the caps: the per-tenant cap spans sockets, where no lane can see it. A global per-socket lane was rejected — it would put every frame behind a snapshot read, one DB round trip per reconnecting client, which is the restart storm this package is measured on. The fourth Critical: `drain()` marked a mutation `acked` when a fire-and-forget `send()` returned. A browser `WebSocket.send` on a CLOSING socket discards silently, so every in-flight mutation was lost on exactly the event the durable queue exists for. A drained mutation is now `inflight` until the server settles it or a lost connection returns it. Also closed, each with a failing-first test: - `onOpen` replayed live queries but never `#topics`, so `client.subscribe(topic, …)` was dead after the first reconnect — every channel message and presence frame lost, with `online === true` and no error. - A **successful** ack retired nothing. The journal row and rebase entry lived for the session, and a later rebase read `seq >= 0` as "everything in the log" and replayed committed mutations on top of server truth: an acked `+10` rolled back to what it saw before it ran and re-applied over a landed 99, giving 109. The pairing is now ordered — the rebase carries the state, the ack is the receipt, and the receipt goes last. - `startRead` cleared `entry.stale` before issuing the read, so a rejecting snapshot left the window unmarked and `#resnapshot` re-snapshotted desynced subscribers out of a divergent one. Permanent silent divergence, the one thing `stale` exists to prevent. - The sync node's shutdown hook had no phase, so it kept accepting websocket upgrades between SIGTERM and the close phase. Now `stopAccepting()` in `accept`, drain in `close`. - `qidOf` was a 32-bit FNV over client-controlled input, used as the sharing key for a cross-subscriber row window. Now SHA-256 truncated to 16 hex, the width `entity` chose. - A channel guard that *failed* dropped the topic, so a database timeout looked like a revoked grant. Only a denial drops now; a failure keeps the topic and ticks a counter. - The client had no heartbeat, so a subscribed client was swept from every presence room within one 30s TTL and a half-open socket was never detected. - `HelloFrame.resume` was filled by every client and read by nobody — each reconnect shipped every cursor twice, up to 512 ids each. Deleted rather than wired: a qid's digest half is not invertible, so a node reading a resume list cannot recover `input`, cannot run `authorize`, and could only answer from a pre-policy window for a subscription that does not exist yet. **Dead mechanisms deleted, not documented.** Bun's native pub/sub was subscribed and never published to; `FRAME_LIMITS.resume` bounded a field that no longer exists. Dropped channel frames are now counted, logged and exported as `channel_frames_dropped_total`. **The 50k benchmark claim is restated, not retracted.** The harness recorded `lastSeenSeq` and read it nowhere, so "49,981 received a channel patch, p50 54.0s" timed reconnect + resubscribe + one delivery — reachability. The timings are unchanged and still stand. A delivery run now exists: 10,000 clients, a probe every 200ms, 1,666,882 patches received, **0 lost**. The counter anchors to the connection epoch, because the publisher's sequence resets per process and a naive counter reports the restart itself as mass loss. Sixteen sites across `CLAUDE.md`, `README.md`, the wiki and `docs/idea/` said "time-to-consistent". **`CHANGELOG.md` had not been touched since #95** — six merged PRs of this sweep were unrecorded, three of them breaking. Backfilled, with twelve breaking changes named and their migrations; four of the twelve no commit message had called breaking, including the money `<p>_scale` column, which needs an `alter table` on every existing app. Breaking: `HelloFrame.resume` and `FRAME_LIMITS.resume` removed from the public types; `OfflineQueue.drain` no longer marks `acked`; `SyncNode` declares `stopAccepting()` and drops `publishToSelf`; `qidOf`'s value changes, so an old cursor names a ring entry the new node never held — one snapshot per subscription across a rolling deploy. `PROTOCOL_VERSION` deliberately not bumped: `decode` is a whitelist, so both skews are readable, and a bump would refuse every in-flight client for no gain. bun run verify: 14 of 17 green, 3 skipped (drift, contract-diff, budgets). bun run scripts/reference-app-gate.ts: every pin holds.

the text fence language, preserving the protocol example content unchanged.
In `@docs/idea/15-risks.md`:
- Line 85: Update the milestone 6 entry to mark database queries and replicator
CPU as unmeasured, since the described 50k run did not include the database,
live queries, or NATS path; alternatively, cite a separate benchmark that
records those measurements. Ensure the mitigation does not claim those
dimensions were validated.
In `@packages/realtime/src/channel.ts`:
- Around line 224-227: Update the hub lifecycle around close() and `#open`(): add
a closed-state field, mark it during close(), and ensure any subscription that
finishes opening after shutdown is immediately unsubscribed. Preserve normal
subscription behavior while preventing late opens from leaving detached
transport subscriptions.
In `@packages/realtime/src/client-mutations.ts`:
- Around line 14-18: Move the duplicated 1024 * 1024 backpressure ceiling into a
shared lower-tier module, then import and use that single exported constant in
both MAX_BUFFERED_BYTES in client-mutations.ts and the corresponding limit in
sync-node.ts. Preserve the existing value and behavior.
In `@packages/realtime/src/client.ts`:
- Around line 146-167: Update the reconnect handling in the socket onOpen
callback to invoke requeueInflight() before draining the queued mutations, and
chain this.#detach(this.drain()) after requeueInflight() completes so
persistence observes the requeued state. Preserve the existing socket guard and
subsequent heartbeat behavior.
In `@packages/realtime/src/live-contract.test.ts`:
- Around line 36-42: Move the direct stableDigest tests from the stableDigest
describe block in live-contract.test.ts into json.test.ts beside its
implementation in json.ts, preserving their existing assertions. Keep only
qidOf() integration coverage in live-contract.test.ts.
In `@packages/realtime/src/live-fanout.ts`:
- Around line 64-72: In the fanout subscriber loop, evaluate result.refill
before the subscription.socket.desynced check so a lost tail marks every
subscriber desynced and skips both patching and resnapshotting. Preserve the
existing resnapshot behavior only for desynced subscribers when the result is
not a refill.
- Around line 1-14: Add packages/realtime/src/live-fanout.test.ts with runtime
coverage for fanoutChange and snapshotFrame, asserting stale-window refill
behavior, LSN deduplication, desync-triggered resnapshot, and correct snapshot
frame construction. Reuse the existing live-fanout types and test utilities
where available, keeping the tests adjacent and focused on these behaviors.
In `@packages/realtime/src/offline-queue.ts`:
- Around line 8-10: Update the module header’s invariant count in
offline-queue.ts from two to three so it matches the added server-removal
invariant; leave the invariant text unchanged.
- Around line 158-188: Serialize requeueInflight with the drain lane by adding a
connection epoch to OfflineQueue: stamp each drain pass, increment the epoch
when requeueInflight runs, and have the pass stop before marking mutations
inflight if its captured epoch is stale. Preserve pending mutations for the next
drain and ensure a suspended pass cannot leave any entries inflight after
requeueInflight; add the requested offline-queue test covering requeue during a
suspended drain.
In `@packages/realtime/src/query-window.test.ts`:
- Around line 20-22: Update the PoolTimeout class to extend UltimateError
instead of Error, retain the stable X_DB_TIMEOUT code, and provide the required
cause and executable fix command in its constructor or error metadata. Ensure
all throws using PoolTimeout preserve this contract.
In `@packages/realtime/src/rebase.ts`:
- Around line 147-173: Extract the shared rollback-and-replay ordering logic
from reconcile and rollbackMutation into one helper, preserving reverse-order
store.rollback calls followed by forward-order store.apply calls. Keep each
caller’s distinct work between undo and replay—such as dropping the denied
key—outside the helper, and have both call sites use the shared helper.
In `@packages/realtime/src/subscription-book.test.ts`:
- Around line 129-144: Extend the test around SubscriptionBook.reserve to cover
the tenant cap independently: create a second socket belonging to tenant o1,
fill the tenant claim limit using reservations across both sockets, and assert
that an additional reservation from the second socket is rejected by
maxPerTenant rather than maxPerSocket. Keep the existing same-socket cap
assertions and release reservations appropriately.
In `@packages/realtime/src/sync-node-ack.test.ts`:
- Around line 30-34: Replace the MutationFailed test fixture with an
UltimateError subclass that preserves a stable code and cause while defining fix
as an executable fix: command string. Update only the fixture used by the
wire-protocol test, ensuring it follows the existing UltimateError constructor
and subclass conventions.
In `@packages/realtime/src/sync-node.ts`:
- Around line 312-314: Update the asynchronous authentication flow around
server.upgrade() to recheck ready immediately before upgrading; when
stopAccepting() has set it false, return the existing retry response instead of
creating a socket. Preserve the current upgrade behavior when readiness remains
true.
In `@scripts/bench/restart-bench-seq.live.test.ts`:
- Around line 1-7: Update the headers in
scripts/bench/restart-bench-seq.live.test.ts lines 1-7 and
scripts/bench/restart-bench-seq.ts lines 1-7 to concise 1–4 line comments
stating each file’s single responsibility and why; add the same compliant
responsibility header before all imports in
scripts/bench/restart-bench-seq.test.ts line 1. Preserve the files’ existing
behavior and ensure each header remains within the 1–4 line limit.
In `@wiki/Getting-Started.md`:
- Line 180: Update the release-status statement near the v1.2.0 entry to say
repository package versions are maintained in lockstep, while explicitly
retaining that npm publication is incomplete because `@ultimat3/flags` has never
been published; remove the claim that all 29 packages publish to npm in
lockstep.
In `@wiki/Home.md`:
- Line 7: Replace “0 lost” with bounded wording such as “0 observed in-window
sequence gaps” at wiki/Home.md:7-7, wiki/FAQ.md:107-107, and
wiki/Getting-Started.md:180-180, preserving the qualification that the benchmark
only detects gaps between received frames on a connection.
In `@wiki/Known-Gaps.md`:
- Around line 43-44: Keep the Known-Gaps table consistent with its two-column
header by folding each row’s workaround text into the existing second cell,
preserving all issue details and recommended actions without adding a third
column.
In `@wiki/Realtime.md`:
- Around line 245-256: Use observed-gap wording consistently: in
wiki/Realtime.md lines 245-256 define holes as observed sequence gaps and change
“Patches lost: 0” to “0 observed gaps,” retaining the lower-bound limitation; in
docs/idea/11-topology.md line 106, docs/idea/14-roadmap.md line 58,
docs/idea/17-scale-ladder.md lines 109 and 343, and
docs/idea/20-large-app-readiness.md line 107, replace the zero-loss phrases with
“0 observed gaps” while preserving the existing meaning.
In `@wiki/Troubleshooting.md`:
- Line 97: Update the troubleshooting table entry to remove the claim that hello
carries live-query cursors and clarify that subscribe frames carry both topic
membership and live-query resume state. Ensure the hand-written client guidance
says to send each topic and its resume cursor via subscribe after reconnecting.

…ill opening, and a parked drain stranded every mutation behind it 22 review comments. Two of them are the defect classes this PR exists to close, one state later than the originals. **`ChannelHub.close()` could not reach a bridge whose transport subscription was still opening.** A `subscribe()` parked in `#authorize` holds a reservation with `sub === null`, so `unsubscribeWhenOpen` finds nothing to close and `#bridges.clear()` drops the entry. `#open` then hands a live transport subscription to a detached `Bridge` that nothing can name — a later `#release` looks the topic up, misses, and returns, while the handler keeps calling `deliver` for the life of the process. Exactly the orphan the `Bridge` header claims this shape prevents, at shutdown instead of at subscribe. Proven first: `expect(transport.live).toBe(0)` / `Received: 1` with the hub already closed. A `#closed` flag now precedes the walk, and `#open` closes a subscription that lands after it — plus one addition CodeRabbit did not propose: `#open` drops its own map entry when it is still the seated bridge, so a second post-close subscribe closes its own handle rather than double-unsubscribing this one's. **A connection lost while a drain pass was parked stranded every mutation behind it `inflight` forever.** Only the first was resent; the rest sat in a status nothing moves without a server settle that can never arrive. The pass now re-checks a drain epoch before claiming each remaining mutation and abandons the rest as `pending`. `#persist()` also handed `QueueStore.save()` the live mutable array. CodeRabbit proposed chaining `drain()` after `requeueInflight()` in `client.ts`; that narrows one window in a file that does not own the bug, so the fix went to `offline-queue.ts` instead, which now saves a snapshot. `client.ts` is unchanged. Also: a node that stopped accepting mid-authentication now sheds rather than upgrades; the tenant cap's cross-socket behaviour is pinned by a test that was missing; `live-fanout.ts` and `json.ts` gained the adjacent suites they never had; `stableDigest`'s direct tests moved to `json.test.ts`, where its source lives. **Two rejected, with the convention that contradicts them.** CodeRabbit asked for two test fixtures extending `Error` to become `UltimateError`s. They stand in for *foreign* errors — a driver pool timeout and an app's `onMutate` — and the repo does this deliberately at nine sites across three packages. `isPolicyDenial`, `stringField` and `renderThrowable` exist because such values arrive; rebuilding the fixture as an `UltimateError` would prove only that the framework handles its own errors. Recorded in `packages/realtime/CLAUDE.md` so the next round gets the answer without re-deriving it. **`sync-node.ts` was 495 of a 500-line ceiling** and the fixes pushed it over, so the HTTP surface — `/healthz`, `/readyz`, load shedding, the authenticated upgrade — moved to `sync-upgrade.ts`. Public API unchanged; the websocket handler stayed put. **Two claims corrected, both ours, both overstatements of the kind this PR is about.** "1,666,882 patches received, 0 lost" states a bounded measurement as an absolute: `missing` is a lower bound, because a hole is only visible between two frames one connection received. It now reads "0 observed sequence gaps" with the bound stated, in eleven files. And the milestone-6 risk row still named DB queries and replicator CPU as measured — the bench server has no database and no replication slot, so those were never measured at all. **`@ultimat3/flags` has never been published.** Verified against the registry, not inferred: it answers 404, no package at all, while the other 28 answer 200 at 1.2.0. It is not opting out — its `package.json` declares the same `publishConfig` as the rest — and nothing in the repo notices because every consumer resolves it through the workspace. Root `CLAUDE.md` said "29 in all — on npm in lockstep"; it now says versioned in lockstep, 28 published, with the gap named. A `wiki/Known-Gaps.md` row carries the workaround. My two `Known-Gaps.md` rows each carried a third cell under a two-column header, so GitHub dropped the workaround silently. Both folded to two. bun run verify: 14 of 17 green, 3 skipped (drift, contract-diff, budgets). bun run scripts/reference-app-gate.ts: every pin holds. bun test packages/realtime/src: 675 pass, 0 fail.

…ant, and five ways an interrupted process never recovered (#110) * fix(cache,query,jobs,core,db)!: a cached query answered the wrong tenant, and five ways an interrupted process never recovered Slices 02 and 06 of the deep-dive bug audit, minus the realtime half that landed as #107. Four agents on disjoint package sets in one checkout. The one that matters: `cacheKeyFor` keyed on name + input + tags and never on the caller, while `sql(input, ctx)` derives every tenant predicate from `ctx.actor.orgId`. Reproduced — an `org-b` actor was answered with `{id:'a1', orgId:'org-a', secret:'ALPHA'}`. The key now carries the read's authority, and a new `cache.scope` defaults to `'actor'`: the narrowest, which is what makes forgetting it safe. Three defects had to land together or make things worse. Reversing the Redis `set` ordering alone lets a bust `SREM` the membership while the later `SET` publishes a row unreachable by any tag; it ships with an `SISMEMBER` re-check. Fixing the cursor hash alone would have left a 32-bit hash over client-chosen input as the shared cache key. And an invalidation racing a read was invisible until the read cache lived inside the tier registry rather than beside it. The drain deadline flipped from opt-in to bounded by default at 25s. It was built opt-in as briefed, but `jobs` and `realtime` declare no budget, so the proven symptom — a worker pod SIGKILLed mid-job — stayed unfixed. Read X_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT literally: a hook past the deadline is abandoned, not stopped, and both fix: lines now name `terminationGracePeriodSeconds` beside `configureLifecycle`. Enforcement gap closed in passing: nothing caught a dropped `await`. Enabling `noFloatingPromises` cost 1.1s of lint and exposed that `dummy/social-media-clone` — the deployed app — set `"root": false` with no `extends`, so it was linted against nothing at all. BREAKING CHANGE: `drainDeadlineMs()` returns `number` always; `cacheKeyFor` takes a required fourth `authority` argument; `fingerprint` is SHA-256/16, so cursors minted before this are rejected once as X_CURSOR_INVALID; `semantic.remember` rejects a TTL the tiers would reject; `OutboxRelay.stop()` returns `Promise<void>`; `TierFailure.tier` widens to `TierLabel`. New codes: X_JOB_SLOT_LOST, X_QUERY_CACHE_TTL_INVALID.

…her, and ten codes paged the on-call for a caller's mistake (#112) * fix(action,http,core)!: one caller's idempotent response went to another, and ten codes paged the on-call for a caller's mistake The http and action remainder of audit slices 02 and 06, plus the gate step slice 02 asks for by name. auth and entity are absent because they are already closed — every finding naming them landed in #104 and #106, verified before this wave was scoped. `idempotencyKeyFor(actionName, key)` namespaced by action name only, with no actor anywhere, so alice's stored `charge` response was returned to bob whenever bob sent the same key; a differing payload gave bob X_IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT instead, which is a cross-actor denial of service against any key. And `Headers.get()` answers '' rather than null for `Idempotency-Key:`, so a blank header was a live key every blank sender shared. The status table is closed, so a code with no row falls to 500 — and stages.ts reports every status >= 500 to the error monitor. Ten caller-caused codes were in that state: a reused key, an expired cursor, a weak password, a duplicate signup. The sharpest was the framework contradicting its own published contract, action/http.ts:151 declaring '409' for X_IDEMPOTENCY_CONFLICT while the runtime answered 500. Nothing would have caught the eleventh, so the errors step gained a fourth host rule. The specified predicate — every code owned by a tier <= 4 package needs a row — flags 237 of 394, which is a step an agent disables in week one; and whether a code can reach a request is not derivable, since X_MIGRATION_DESTRUCTIVE and X_TENANCY_CROSS_DENIED are the same tier and the same shape and blanket re-exports collapse import reachability to the whole package. So it is a ratchet on the expectedRed idiom: 226 undecided codes pinned with a reason, the list may only shrink, and a pin says "nobody has decided yet" rather than "this can never reach a request". It caught two codes on its first run, both added by its own teammates in this PR. Also: a second server after a drain bound a port it could never serve from and kept accepting connections after its own stop() returned; ?__proto__= replaced the parsed query object's prototype, which also let a schema coerce an inherited function through `key in record`; an empty issues array read as validation success and reached a handler as an impossible undefined; the third copy of FNV-1a/32 over client-chosen input, here backing both the idempotency requestHash and the job dedupe key; and an unfenced settle overwriting a record already replaced. BREAKING CHANGE: `idempotencyKeyFor` takes a required third Actor argument; the stored key's shape changed, so on the shared Postgres store a retry crossing the deploy boundary re-runs the handler inside the 24h window (`truncate x_idempotency` makes that state honest); `Idempotency-Key` is now enforced at the 255 characters OpenAPI already published; action's `fingerprint` is SHA-256/16, changing job-handle.ts's dedupe key; `markReady()` throws X_LIFECYCLE_DRAINED on a drained lifecycle instead of declining silently. New codes: X_IDEMPOTENCY_KEY_INVALID, X_LIFECYCLE_DRAINED, X_ERROR_STATUS_MISSING, X_ERROR_STATUS_BACKLOG_STALE, X_ERROR_STATUS_UNKNOWN_CODE.

Slices 02 and 06 of the deep-dive audit, realtime half — eighteen findings, four Critical, plus the benchmark claim that could not have caught any of them.
81 files. Seventh PR of the sweep, after #101–#106.
One shape, three Criticals

mutateper socket,subscribeper sid.The lanes are not what closes the caps. The per-tenant cap spans sockets, where no lane can see it. And a global per-socket lane was rejected deliberately: it would put every frame behind a snapshot read — one DB round trip per reconnecting client, which is precisely the restart storm this package is measured on.
The fourth Critical:
drain()marked a mutationackedwhen a fire-and-forgetsend()returned. A browserWebSocket.sendon a CLOSING socket discards silently, so every in-flight mutation was lost on exactly the event the durable queue exists for.The one that was hiding as a memory leak
A successful ack retired nothing — the journal row and rebase entry lived for the session. That looked like a leak. It was worse: a later rebase read
seq >= 0as "everything in the log" and replayed committed mutations on top of server truth. An acked+10was rolled back to the row it saw before it ran and re-applied over a landed 99 — 109. Silent divergence on the happy path.The pairing is now ordered: the rebase carries the state, the ack is the receipt, and the receipt goes last.

HelloFrame.resumewas filled by every client and read by nobody — each reconnect shipped every cursor twice, up to 512 ids each. Deleted rather than wired, because wiring it was not merely redundant: a qid's digest half is not invertible, so a node reading a resume list cannot recoverinput, cannot runauthorize, and could only answer from a pre-policy window for a subscription that does not exist yet.FRAME_LIMITS.resumebounded a field that no longer exists.Dropped channel frames are now counted, logged, and exported as

The harness recorded

The timings are unchanged and still stand.A delivery run now exists: 10,000 clients, a probe every 200ms, 1,666,882 patches received, 0 lost. The counter anchors to the connection epoch — the publisher's sequence resets per process, so a naive counter reports the restart itself as mass loss, proven by deleting the epoch reset and watching all 24 clients in the live test record a rewind.
