Problem

PUT /api/group/{group_id} keeps the dashboard in a loading state for minutes on large groups. A group with roughly 30,000 members currently performs all of the following before returning the response:

  1. Hydrates the complete Group.users relationship just to validate and serialize the group response.
  2. Loads every affected User with admin, next-plan, usage-log, and group relationships.
  3. Reconciles WireGuard allocations for the full group.
  4. Serializes every user for node dispatch. Because group inbounds are not nested-eager-loaded, this path can fall back to one inbound query per user.
  5. Repeats the entire workflow even when only the group name changed.

This makes request latency, memory use, and query count scale with group membership. It is separate from, and complementary to, the group-list optimization in #772.

Changes

  • Load a group update without hydrating Group.users and count memberships directly for the response.
  • Compare inbound tags and disabled status before updating:
    • name-only updates skip membership rewrites and user/node synchronization;
    • access-affecting updates commit immediately and schedule reconciliation outside the request path.
  • Process affected users in stable keyset-paginated batches of 1,000 instead of materializing the whole group.
  • Load only id, admin_id, status, and proxy_settings for background node synchronization.
  • Fetch accessible inbound tags once per batch and reuse them for both WireGuard reconciliation and node serialization, removing the per-user inbound-query fallback.
  • Await each batch dispatch inside the background task so large groups do not create an unbounded number of dispatch tasks.
  • Cancel stale in-process work when the same group is updated again, so the latest update wins.
  • Preserve the existing response schema and notification behavior.

Behavior and trade-off

The group row is committed before the API returns. For inbound/status changes, propagation to users and nodes becomes eventually consistent and continues in the background. Name-only changes are immediate and require no propagation. Background failures are logged with the group ID.

The task registry keeps strong references to active work and bounds it to one task per group. A newer update cancels the older task; every batch reads current membership and inbound access before reconciling.

Tests

  • ruff check for the affected group, node, model, and migration modules — passed
  • ruff format --check for the changed files — passed
  • focused group/node/WireGuard tests — 20 passed
  • non-API test suite — 167 passed, 2 skipped
  • coordination-lock migration upgrade, downgrade, and alembic check — passed

Notes

  • No API response changes.
  • Adds a migration for the dedicated coordination_locks table and seeds the group_policy lock row.
  • perf(groups): add reverse group membership indexes #772 remains important because its reverse membership index accelerates the group-centric count and batch lookups used here.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Group updates synchronize affected users in the background and in batches.
    • User data sent to nodes can include refreshed inbound tags with consistent ordering.
    • Group responses can report membership counts without loading all users.
    • Node update requests now complete only after synchronization finishes.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved coordination during simultaneous group and inbound changes to prevent inconsistent results.
    • Overlapping user updates are dispatched in the correct order.
    • Revoked group members are excluded from pending synchronization.

Walkthrough

Group operations now coordinate database locks and reconcile users in batches. Node synchronization uses per-user locks, supports refreshed inbound tags, and can wait for dispatch completion.

Changes

Group user synchronization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Coordination and membership access
app/db/crud/group.py, app/db/crud/group_lock.py, app/db/crud/host.py, app/db/models.py, app/db/migrations/versions/..., app/db/crud/bulk.py, app/operation/__init__.py
Database-backed locks coordinate group operations and inbound deletion. Membership helpers provide counts, paginated IDs, and current-member filtering. Group relationship loading is configurable, and bulk membership helpers leave commits to callers.
Group update and batched reconciliation
app/operation/group.py, tests/test_group_update_sync.py
Group modification returns a lightweight response and schedules background synchronization when inbound tags or disabled status change. Synchronization processes user batches, rechecks group state and membership, and waits for dispatch between batches.
Ordered node dispatch
app/db/crud/user.py, app/node/sync.py, app/node/user.py, app/node/__init__.py, tests/test_node_sync.py, tests/test_node_manager.py
Node sync loads selected user fields and supports inbound-tag mappings. Per-user locks serialize sync and removal dispatch. Node manager updates now await node synchronization.

A rabbit checks each group-row lock,
Then counts the members in the flock.
User batches hop in ordered line,
Fresh inbound tags arrive on time.
Dispatch waits; the locks release,
And busy bunnies sync in peace.

why are you locking jwt table?

@dr-hoseyn

Contributor Author

You're right to question this. The lock is unrelated to JWT authentication. I reused the guaranteed singleton JWT row as a migration-free database mutex to serialize group-inbound association discovery and writes across workers, since the affected group rows are not known until after reading the association table. The no-op update does not change the JWT secret. However, coupling group-policy coordination to the JWT table is not a clean design. I'll replace it with a dedicated coordination row/table in this PR.

@ImMohammad20000 Fixed in 5595acc. The JWT table is no longer involved. I added a dedicated coordination_locks table with a named group_policy row, seeded by an Alembic migration. Group-policy writers now acquire a transaction-scoped database lock on that explicit coordination row, while preserving the existing lock ordering and SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL behavior. This is more explicit and keeps authentication completely decoupled from synchronization. Migration upgrade/downgrade and schema checks pass; the non-API suite passes with 167 tests and 2 skips.
