fix(db): replace an obsolete ordered repair before a resumed step - #2419
This PR fixes a production defect in OrderedSourceLoader and closes the oracle gaps that hid it.
The defect: a repair chain whose ordering epoch moved could issue one more page or refill before it was replaced.
Where it came from: a CI random-seed no leak failure of ordered-loader.request-authority (seed -1691316941). That failure was a driver misclassification. Fixing the classification, and then a review of the oracle, exposed the defect.
Production fix
ARCHITECTURE.md, ordered repair, says the replacement starts "before the obsolete chain can issue another tie or refill".
The settlement path checked this with repairNeedsReplacement().
Two paths ran later through loadMore without that check: a continuation that the chain staged, and a window move that joined work blocked with continuesOrderedPrefixRepair. loadMore's exception for a running chain let the obsolete chain issue one more step. That step had no cursor, because invalidation had cleared the boundary. When it settled, finishOrderedPrefixRepair started the real replacement.
Now loadMore starts the replacement when a resumed repair step's chain needs replacement. A staged boundary step reaches the same check, because invalidation cleared the settled boundary it would read.
The change is 3 lines of code plus a comment.
Oracle changes
Driver provenance: a graph pass inside a release pass consumes no owed continuation. The one release outside a release pass is the stale finite self-release, which the driver identifies from its own ledger.
Held: every successful acquisition of the latest repair chain stays held. Only a later prefix at least as long may retire a prefix member, and nothing retires a tie or cursor page.
No stale step: extended to resumed requests. A request that a pending continuation issues after its chain's epoch moved must start the replacement, so its own settlement must not start one again.
One start per epoch: a chain step does not re-read its start demand unless an optimistic departure, a head insert, or a source delete happened since.
Reach:
continuation-before-epoch-move, in the broad authority campaign;
release-pass-refill-resumed, a production-observed state, in the replay-continuation grammar, with constructed histories and an unmapper.
Fixed regressions: the two CI traces and the obsolete-step trace.
Docs: ARCHITECTURE.md names staged and blocked continuations in the replacement sentence. The coverage map records the defect, its trace, the stated assumptions, and the open items.
Evidence
Law: a repair chain whose ordering epoch moved is replaced before it issues another tie or refill, including a step resumed by a staged continuation or a blocked window move. Also: held acquisitions of the current chain, chain-step provenance across release passes, and one start per epoch.
Authority: ARCHITECTURE.md, "Ordered requests, continuation, and recovery" and ordered repair.
Reach:
continuation-before-epoch-move: 75 of 10,000 generated histories at fixed seed 20261016, and 56 to 69 of 10,000 at random seeds. Minimum 20.
release-pass-refill-resumed, generated histories only: 17 of 200 at fixed seed 20261029, and 26 to 32 of 400 at random seeds. With constructed histories: 60 of 202, and about 105 to 128 of 402.
Scratch calibrations (not committed):
the observed state matched the loader's private pending continuation, 192 of 192 real and 0 of 97 driver-only;
the self-release classifier matched an instrumented production branch on 26 of 26 stale self-releases, with no mismatch over 50,298 releases.
RED (unchanged production, extended oracle): npx vitest --run tests/query/ordered-source-loader-state-oracle.test.ts --maxWorkers=2 --coverage.enabled=false fails 6 tests, including two existing fixed regressions. Example: no obsolete step ...: request 3 resumed a repair continuation after its chain's epoch moved, and its settlement started the replacement (request 4): it was a step of the obsolete chain. Trace: fixed seed 20261016, path 61:1:1:2:2:5:4:9:9:7. A scratch production probe counted 38 obsolete steps in one run.
GREEN: the four ordered-*-oracle* files pass, 919 tests. Over ten random seeds the probe counted zero obsolete steps and the laws raised no flags. The original CI replay passes.
Mutants (failed tests):
Mutant
Failed tests
defect restored
7
fix dropped only for blocked window moves
fails at seeds 6 and 7
restart (a continuation outliving its chain restarts the repair)
6, one start per epoch

Size: the minified dist/esm/query/live/ordered-source-loader.js, built directly with vite build --minify, grows by 55 B raw, 15 B gzip, 11 B brotli. pnpm size:compare was not run, because it runs pnpm install for its baseline. The settlement path's own replacement check cannot be removed to pay for it: without it, a settlement continues through loadBoundary with the boundary it just set.
Limits:
A hung or failed obsolete step is not judged.
The no-stale-step premise over-approximates a pending continuation. One flag appeared under a mutant run whose seed was not recorded, and 16 seeds did not reproduce it.
That the stale self-release's graph pass is not blocked is a stated assumption without ARCHITECTURE.md authority.
Awaiting maintainer decision:
m3;
whether re-reads after an optimistic departure or a head insert are required.
No executed witness covers the real subscription receiving path or the refill's publication hold. The coverage map records both, with owners.
Notes for reviewers
pnpm lint:changed was not run, because it triggers pnpm's install check here. node scripts/agent-lint-feedback.mjs reports one oracle/oracle-property-only settings error about legacyCampaigns, which origin/main's unchanged copy of the file also reports locally.
Review follow-up: two false flags
An independent review found that two laws flagged correct production: 2 of 40 default random seeds failed with no mutant. Both repairs change the oracle only.
The no-stale-step law counted any full-source read from a settlement as an obsolete step. A genuine replacement start falls back to a full-source read when a head insert or an unexpressible boundary rank occurs. The law now counts a full-source read only when every installed rank is finite. Witness: seed 4, path 17698:0:0:0:10:16:17:17:17.
The fake's drain settled a pending replay while a request issued inside that replay attempt was still in flight. ARCHITECTURE.md (Replay participants) publishes a replay only after every acquisition of its attempt settles, so the drain now settles those requests first. Witness: seed 119, path 1430:0:1:1:5:4:10:12:14:15:15.
RED: both witnesses fail on unchanged production with the previous oracle.
GREEN: both witnesses pass, and 40 random seeds (300 to 339) pass the whole file.
Mutant: at seed 7, nofix (the original defect) fails 8 tests, restart 6, droprefill 6, retireown 29, and smaller 1.
Limits: a fresh start whose prefix returns empty would be flagged. The fake never returns an empty start prefix there, so this risk is recorded in the coverage map and not drawn.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Fixed ordered results updating incorrectly when source ordering changes during a pending repair. A replacement repair now takes precedence when outdated work resumes, preventing it from issuing further requests and helping keep displayed results current.
Documentation
Clarified ordered-repair behavior and coverage, including continuation after source changes. Documented unresolved questions about continuation behavior and publication after replay settlement.
The CI no-leak failure of ordered-loader.request-authority (seed
-1691316941) is a driver misclassification, not a production leak.
Replay settlement finishes the repair chain and retires the pre-truncate
leases. Each release callback runs a graph pass while joined work defers
the chain's refill. The loader blocks ordered refinement for the whole
release pass, so the staged refill survives and resumes later as a
refetch prefix of the same chain. The driver took the blocked pass for
one that consumed the refill. It then classified the refill as a new
repair start and the chain's own prefix and tie as leaked. The 2026-11-03
coverage-map trace is the same mechanism.
Evidence
- Law: no leak, held, and chain-step classification of the request
ledger. Authority: ARCHITECTURE.md, "Ordered requests, continuation,
and recovery" ("ordered refinement stays blocked until the pass
unwinds"; a staged continuation resumes once the request returns). The
model rule for chain steps is unchanged. The driver no longer consumes
continuation provenance in a release callback's pass.
- Reach: ordered-loader.replay-continuation declares
release-pass-continuation, deferred-refill, and reset-continuation in
histories.states, with two constructed histories. The release-pass
history uses an on-demand source. Fixed seed 20261029: 96, 78, 59 of
202 histories. Random: 171-185, 130-135, 124-134 of 402.
- RED (unchanged production and driver): the fixed seed failed at path
0:1 with "no leak: requests [3,4] are still held after authoritative
request 5 succeeded". Both new fixed regressions failed with "no leak:
requests [2,3] ... request 4". 5 failed, 62 passed.
- GREEN: the four ordered-*-oracle files pass, 918 tests. The CI replay
command passes.
- Mutants: M0, the original driver rule, fails 5 tests. M1, which
releases the chain's own leases at chain completion, fails 26 tests.
M1', which releases every held lease when replay settlement finishes a
chain, fails 10 tests. Both fail the new state's histories at the new
drain checkpoint for the held law. Before that checkpoint was added,
they passed those histories.
- Limits: M3, which drops a staged continuation during a blocked pass,
survives every property in the file; the coverage map records it as an
open gap. A stale request released outside a release pass is not
blocked, and no witness measures that path. The leak law is not
re-checked after the progress probe's chain. No production code
changed.

Review follow-up to 0721dec, oracle only; no production change.
- Held: the law now covers every successful acquisition of the latest
repair chain (prefix, ties, refills), not only its start. A later prefix
may retire a prefix member, never a tie or cursor page.
Authority: ARCHITECTURE.md, ordered repair ("only the new repair
acquisitions remain"; a larger prefix "does not retire ... ties").
- Unblocked release: the driver treats only the stale finite
self-release as outside a release pass, identified from its own ledger
(the request it is settling, finite, issued before the current epoch,
same truncate generation, no full-source lease). Its graph pass is
ordinary.
- Reach: release-pass-refill-resumed is the required state, observed
when a later pass resumes the deferred refill as a new-demand step of
the same chain. release-pass-continuation (driver-owed) is measured
only.
Evidence
- Law: held over every chain acquisition; chain-step provenance across
release passes. Authority as above, and ARCHITECTURE.md, Ordered
requests, continuation, and recovery.
- Reach: fixed seed 20261029 reaches release-pass-refill-resumed in 60
of 202 histories (driver-owed: 96); random about 105-128 of 402.
Scratch calibration against loader internals: 192 of 192 real pending
continuations observed, 0 of 97 driver-only. Self-release classifier
against an instrumented production branch: 26 of 26, 0 mismatches over
50,298 releases. The broad campaign meets an unblocked release pass
with an owed continuation 3 times at the fixed seed and 1-4 times per
random campaign.
- RED: reviewer mutant droprefill passed every test at 0721dec and now
fails 6 tests (held). m3 and restart passed at 0721dec and now fail 2
tests each, only through the constructed history's required reach.
- GREEN: the four ordered-*-oracle files pass, 918 tests, on unchanged
production.
- Mutants: M0 (old driver rule) fails 5; M1' fails 8; unblock 8;
retireown 29; spurious 12.
- Limits: restart and m3 are not rejected by any law. A per-chain
one-read-per-demand law fails on production (optimistic refill re-read,
repeated cursor page after a head insert, replacement start without an
epoch move). The coverage map records this as awaiting a maintainer
decision. The real subscription receiving path and the refill's
publication hold are recorded as unwitnessed.

The ordered-source loader now replaces a repair whose continuation resumes after its epoch becomes obsolete. The state oracle adds repair-chain provenance, held-acquisition checks, and fixed and generated histories for continuation and release-pass behavior. The coverage guide records harness corrections, the production repair, and unresolved observations.

Summary
Replace superseded repair work packages/db/src/query/live/ordered-source-loader.ts, packages/db/src/query/live/ARCHITECTURE.md, .changeset/ordered-repair-obsolete-step.md
loadMore checks whether a resumed repair continuation requires replacement before it consumes staged work or issues more requests. It finishes that repair and returns the pending operation. The architecture text and changeset describe this behavior.
Repair-chain and release-pass model packages/db/tests/query/ordered-source-loader-state-oracle.test.ts
The oracle tracks request demands, chain membership, source input, and settlement state. It distinguishes stale self-release from blocked release-pass callbacks, checks held acquisitions during replay and request settlement, and detects stale chain steps and repeated start-demand reads without new source input.
Regression histories and coverage reporting packages/db/tests/query/ordered-source-loader-state-oracle.test.ts, docs/contributing/oracle-coverage.md
Fixed and generated histories cover deferred refills, release-pass continuation, and epoch changes during continuations. Campaign reporting and the coverage guide record measured states, harness corrections, the production repair, and unresolved questions.
TanStack/db#2302: Both PRs address ordering invalidation and replacement of ordered repair work.
Suggested reviewers:tannerlinsley
Merge Risk: Low · up to 33ae9
This change makes ordered repair start a replacement when an obsolete continuation resumes. The remaining concern is limited to the test oracle: it may wrongly flag a valid repair after a superseded request fails. Runtime behavior is not shown to be affected, so the merge risk is low, and the oracle should be tightened as a follow-up.

The description follows the template. It has the Changes section, which states the production defect, its cause, and the fix. It has the Oracle Coverage section, which names the oracle owners and gives bug-class evidence: the violated law, exercised histories, reach counts, RED/GREEN results, mutants, and limits. The Checklist and Release Impact sections are present, but neither box is ticked. The checklist item says tests were run with pnpm test, and the description says pnpm lint:changed and pnpm size:compare were not run. It does not say whether pnpm test was run. The release-impact choice is also unmarked, although a changeset file is included. These gaps are minor compared with the rest of the description.

A repair chain whose ordering epoch moved must be replaced before it
issues another tie or refill (ARCHITECTURE.md, ordered repair). The
settlement path checked that. A continuation that the chain staged, or a
window move that joined work blocked, ran later through loadMore. Its
exception for a running chain let the obsolete chain issue one more page
or refill without a cursor. When that step settled, the real replacement
started. loadMore now starts the replacement when a resumed repair step's
chain needs replacement. A staged boundary step reaches the same check,
because invalidation cleared the boundary it would read.
Evidence
- Law: no stale step, extended to resumed requests (a request that a
pending continuation issues after its chain's epoch moved must start
the replacement, so its settlement must not start one again). Also one
start per epoch (a chain step does not re-read its start demand unless
an optimistic departure, head insert, or source delete happened since).
Authority: ARCHITECTURE.md, ordered repair ("before the obsolete chain
can issue another tie or refill"). ARCHITECTURE.md now names staged and
blocked continuations in that sentence.
- Reach: continuation-before-epoch-move (the epoch moves while a repair
continuation is owed) in 75 of 10,000 generated histories at fixed seed
20261016 and 56-69 of 10,000 at random seeds; minimum 20.
- RED (unchanged production): 6 tests fail, including two existing fixed
regressions. Example: "request 3 resumed a repair continuation after
its chain's epoch moved, and its settlement started the replacement
(request 4)". A scratch production probe counted 38 obsolete steps in
one run.
- GREEN: the four ordered-*-oracle files pass, 919 tests. The probe
counted zero obsolete steps and the laws raised no flags over ten
random seeds.
- Mutants: restoring the defect fails 7 tests. Dropping the fix only for
blocked window moves fails seeds 6 and 7. restart fails 6 tests (one
start per epoch). droprefill fails 6. A smaller later prefix retiring a
larger prefix passed at 4d12a16 and now fails 3 tests (held law
tightened to prefixes at least as long). m3 is still rejected only by
reach and stays open.
- Size: the minified ordered-source-loader.js grows by 55 B raw, 15 B
gzip, 11 B brotli (vite build --minify, built directly; size:compare
not run).
- Limits: a hung or failed obsolete step is not judged. The law's premise
over-approximates; one unreproduced flag appeared under a mutant run. The
stale self-release's unblocked pass is a stated assumption without
ARCHITECTURE.md authority. Re-reads after new source input are exempted
and await a maintainer decision.

The no-stale-step law counted a genuine replacement start's full-source
fallback as an obsolete step, and the fake's drain settled a replay while a
request of its own attempt was still in flight, which the held law then
flagged. Both failed 2 of 40 default random seeds with no mutant. The law
now counts a full-source read only when every installed rank is finite, and
the drain settles a replay attempt's requests before the replay, as
ARCHITECTURE.md's replay participants rule requires. 40 random seeds pass;
the review's production mutants are still rejected.

Apply the replay settlement requirement to explicit success.
If a move starts a request during replay, replaySucceeds can finish replay before that request settles. The fake can then retire leases too early and produce a false oracle failure. Keep explicit replay success pending until current participants settle or abort.

Major · Functional Correctness · Heavy lift
Do not classify failure-induced full-source repair as an obsolete step.
A replacement prefix can start after an epoch move while an older finite request remains in flight. If the older request fails before that prefix settles, the loader raises full-source debt. The prefix’s settlement then starts a full-source read. When installed ranks are finite, this predicate reports an obsolete step even though the prefix started the replacement correctly. Distinguish the cause of the full-source read from the ranks currently in snapshot(). (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Update the obsolete-step predicate in the ordered-source loader state oracle test so it does not infer the cause of a full-source read from finite ranks in snapshot(). Distinguish failure-induced full-source debt from other full-source reads using the available state or event evidence, and preserve obsolete-step classification only when that evidence supports it.

Summary
This PR fixes a production defect in
OrderedSourceLoaderand closes the oracle gaps that hid it.no leakfailure ofordered-loader.request-authority(seed-1691316941). That failure was a driver misclassification. Fixing the classification, and then a review of the oracle, exposed the defect.Production fix
ARCHITECTURE.md, ordered repair, says the replacement starts "before the obsolete chain can issue another tie or refill".
repairNeedsReplacement().loadMorewithout that check: a continuation that the chain staged, and a window move that joined work blocked withcontinuesOrderedPrefixRepair.loadMore's exception for a running chain let the obsolete chain issue one more step. That step had no cursor, because invalidation had cleared the boundary. When it settled,finishOrderedPrefixRepairstarted the real replacement.loadMorestarts the replacement when a resumed repair step's chain needs replacement. A staged boundary step reaches the same check, because invalidation cleared the settled boundary it would read.Oracle changes

Law: a repair chain whose ordering epoch moved is replaced before it issues another tie or refill, including a step resumed by a staged continuation or a blocked window move. Also: held acquisitions of the current chain, chain-step provenance across release passes, and one start per epoch.

Minimum 20.release-pass-refill-resumed, generated histories only: 17 of 200 at fixed seed20261029, and 26 to 32 of 400 at random seeds.

An independent review found that two laws flagged correct production: 2 of 40 default random seeds failed with no mutant. Both repairs change the oracle only.
The no-stale-step law counted any full-source read from a settlement as an obsolete step. A genuine replacement start falls back to a full-source read when a head insert or an unexpressible boundary rank occurs. The law now counts a full-source read only when every installed rank is finite. Witness: seed 4, path
17698:0:0:0:10:16:17:17:17.The fake's drain settled a pending replay while a request issued inside that replay attempt was still in flight. ARCHITECTURE.md (Replay participants) publishes a replay only after every acquisition of its attempt settles, so the drain now settles those requests first. Witness: seed 119, path
1430:0:1:1:5:4:10:12:14:15:15.RED: both witnesses fail on unchanged production with the previous oracle.
GREEN: both witnesses pass, and 40 random seeds (300 to 339) pass the whole file.
Mutant: at seed 7,
nofix(the original defect) fails 8 tests,restart6,droprefill6,retireown29, andsmaller1.Limits: a fresh start whose prefix returns empty would be flagged. The fake never returns an empty start prefix there, so this risk is recorded in the coverage map and not drawn.
