Summary

Verdict: harness rot, not a data-loss regression. The test's post >= 65% of PROBE_COUNT floor assumed evicted probes durably spill under --appendonly no — but since PR #273 (task #57, policy-aware fail-close) the per-write eviction gate intentionally plain-drops victims in that config (documented cache semantics; boot-time disk_offload_spill_inert WARN). Ground-truth inspection showed only 0–1/200 probes durably spilled → the floor was structurally unreachable.

Test-only fix:

  • write_filler sends one MSET burst (no per-write plain-drop race) so the manifest-backed periodic memory-pressure tick is the reclaimer.
  • Fixed floor replaced by count_durable_probe_entries — reads each shard's manifest + Active KvLeaf heap files (same mechanism recovery uses) right before the kill; asserts recovery ≥ that ground truth, with a durable_probes > 0 sanity guard so the test can't pass vacuously.
  • docs/PRODUCTION-CONTRACT.md CRASH-01 caveat updated (task P0-6 follow-up: extend bounded LZ4 helper to non-FPI sites #44 closed) + revision-history row.

Verification

  • RED re-proof: manually reverted the persistence_dir.is_some() || disk_offload_base.is_some() recovery gate → test fails (ground truth 20, post 0); reverted.
  • GREEN 12×+ consecutive on macOS, monoio AND tokio+jemalloc feature sets.
  • No regression: crash_recovery_cold_del_resurrection 2/2, cross-plane spot cell for the same drop-not-spill contract passes.
  • fmt + both clippy matrices clean. No src/ change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved crash-recovery validation for disk-offloaded data when append-only persistence is disabled.
    • Recovery checks now compare results against the data confirmed durable on disk, reducing false failures.
  • Documentation

    • Updated durability documentation and changelog to record the resolved recovery issue and verification status.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The crash-recovery test now issues filler data through one large MSET, counts durable probe keys from active shard manifests and heap files, and compares recovered keys against that count. Changelog and production-contract entries document task #44 as fixed.

Changes

Crash recovery durability test

Layer / File(s) Summary
Test rationale and workload setup
tests/crash_recovery_disk_offload_no_aof.rs
The test documentation and imports now reflect manifest-backed durability, while filler writes use one large MSET and validate the server response.
Durability counting and recovery assertion
tests/crash_recovery_disk_offload_no_aof.rs
The test counts distinct durable probe:* keys from active manifest entries and heap pages before SIGKILL, then requires post-crash recovery to meet that count.
Task closure documentation
CHANGELOG.md, docs/PRODUCTION-CONTRACT.md
Release documentation records the harness correction, verification details, and closure of task #44.

…ound-truth mismatch (task #44)

crash_recovery_disk_offload_no_aof was the last red suite cited by
PRODUCTION-CONTRACT.md row CRASH-01. Investigated whether it was harness
rot (like task #31's WAL v2 probe rot) or a real durability defect (like
task #60's replay no-op) with on-disk evidence before touching anything.

Root cause: harness rot, not a data-loss regression.

The test forced LRU eviction with a 16,000-key pipelined SET burst and
asserted post-crash recovery >= 65% of PROBE_COUNT, assuming most evicted
probes land durably in a heap-*.mpf file. That assumption predates
disk_offload_spill_inert() / PR #273 (policy-aware eviction fail-close):
under --appendonly no, the per-connection write-path eviction gate
(run_write_eviction_gate, src/server/conn/handler_monoio/mod.rs) -- the
path every ordinary SET/HSET past maxmemory actually takes -- has no
ShardManifest handle and PLAIN-DROPS victims. This is documented Redis
"pure cache, no durability" semantics (see docs/PRODUCTION-CONTRACT.md's
CRASH-02 note on task #57, which made this drop-not-OOM behavior the
intended fix, not a bug). Only the periodic memory-pressure tick
(shard/persistence_tick.rs) durably spills under --appendonly no, and a
busy connection's synchronous per-write eviction always wins the race
before that tick ever observes a sustained over-budget shard. Confirmed
via direct manifest/heap-*.mpf inspection: the old pipelined-SET burst
durably spilled 0-1/200 probes, making the 65% floor permanently
unreachable regardless of settle time or contention tuning.

Fix (test-only, no src/ change):

1. write_filler now sends the filler as ONE MSET instead of 16,000
   pipelined SETs. MSET's handler applies all pairs with no per-key
   eviction check, and the write-path gate that does run checks memory
   once, pre-MSET -- so a shard can end up far over budget with no
   further write pending to re-trigger the plain-drop path. The periodic
   tick is then the only thing left to reclaim it, durably spilling the
   LRU-oldest keys (the probes) via the manifest.

2. The fixed RECOVERY_FLOOR is replaced by count_durable_probe_entries,
   which reads each shard's manifest + Active KvLeaf DataFiles directly
   (the same way recover_shard_v3_pitr does at boot) right before the
   kill to establish ground truth, and asserts recovery returns AT LEAST
   that many probes -- the actual #22 regression signal, decoupled from
   eviction throughput.

Verified the rewritten test still red-flags a reintroduced #22 regression:
manually reverted the `persistence_dir.is_some() || disk_offload_base.is_some()`
gate in main.rs, confirmed RED (ground truth 20, post 0), reverted back.
Green 12x+ consecutive on macOS (monoio default + tokio runtime); no
regression in crash_recovery_cold_del_resurrection or the
crash_matrix_cross_plane no-durability-contract spot check
(cross_plane_spot_offload_no_s1_no_durability_contract_liveness), which
already independently documents the same drop-not-spill contract.

fmt clean, clippy clean (default + tokio+jemalloc matrix).

Updates CRASH-01's audit caveat in docs/PRODUCTION-CONTRACT.md and adds a
CHANGELOG [Unreleased] entry.

Correct the reported spill-rate range.

The supplied test rationale reports 1-51/200 durably spilled probes across runs, but this changelog says 0-1/200 for the same pipelined-SET burst. Align the number with the recorded evidence or state that it was a particular run.

Document the complete ground-truth source.

The test derives durable probes from each shard’s manifest and active KvLeaf heap-*.mpf files, not from the manifest alone. Update this evidence description to match the implementation and the more precise wording already used in the revision history.

Preserve the exact durable-key set and fail closed on scan errors.

Collapsing ground truth to a count and silently skipping unreadable active artifacts can produce false passes: a different probe recovered later can mask a lost measured probe, while another shard satisfies the nonzero check.

Return Result<HashSet<Vec<u8>>>, propagate manifest/datafile errors, and verify every captured key individually after restart.
