Motivation

  • Prevent unbounded memory and event-loop stalls by avoiding materializing the entire candidate-offset set for filtered usage queries.
  • Restore cooperative behavior from the old ledger scanner by yielding between bounded work units.
  • Preserve existing index correctness, multi-writer safety, and passive/active fallback semantics while bounding resource use.

Description

  • Replace the synchronous .all() materialization with a keyset-style pager (candidatePager) that returns bounded pages of offsets (2,000 rows per page).
  • Each page is validated under a short SQLite read transaction (rechecks published generation) and advances a cursor; the reader exposes candidateRows, nextPage() and close() instead of a full offsets array.
  • Update aggregation (accumulateCandidates) to consume one page at a time, yield to the timer queue between pages, and close the index reader when finished.
  • Preserve candidate statistics via the candidateRows metric, extend busy/retry windows to tolerate transient SQLite contention, add a regression test that asserts page bounds and cooperative yielding, and update structure docs to document the bounded consumption contract.

Testing

  • Ran type check: bun run typecheck (no type errors).
  • Ran structural and privacy checks: bun run structure:check and bun run privacy:scan (both passed).
  • Ran focused unit tests for the touched areas: bun test tests/usage/usage-filter-index.test.ts and bun test tests/usage/usage-aggregate-cache.test.ts; the targeted suites passed in focused runs (coverage exercised candidate paging, parity with full-scan oracle, multi-writer rebuild scenarios, append/unchanged behavior, and passive fallback).
  • Verified the broad-filter regression (4,000-row synthetic ledger) exercises two bounded pages and observes a timer yield between pages; multi-process rebuild contention was exercised and stabilized by extending contention retries (environment-specific unwritable-directory assertion noted as limited under the container root).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Filtered usage summaries now handle large result sets in smaller batches, helping keep processing responsive.
    • Improved handling of changing or unavailable usage data sources helps summaries recover and fall back to a full scan when needed.
    • Fixed cases where index read errors or concurrent data changes could prevent filtered summaries from completing reliably.

Walkthrough

The filter index now reads candidate offsets in bounded pages and checks published metadata during paging. The aggregate cache validates each page against the ledger snapshot, closes readers, and falls back to a streaming ledger scan after page-read failures.

Changes: Usage filter paging and recovery

Layer / File(s) Summary
Paged candidate reader
src/usage/filter-index.ts, tests/usage/usage-filter-index.test.ts
The filter index uses cursor-based queries to return candidate offsets in pages of up to 2,000. Each page checks schema and generation metadata. Tests cover page size, cursor seeking, and query plans.
Index open and retry handling
src/usage/filter-index.ts, structure/usage-client-attribution.md, tests/usage/usage-filter-index.test.ts
Active and passive reads validate published metadata and use pager-backed readers. Retry schedules distinguish contention, rebuild-required, foreign-index, and unsafe-path errors. Tests cover retries, rollback, and generation changes during paging.
Aggregate paging and fallback
src/server/management/usage-aggregate-cache.ts, structure/usage-client-attribution.md, tests/usage/usage-filter-index.test.ts
The aggregate cache consumes pages, validates them against a ledger snapshot, yields between pages, and closes readers. Page-read failures clear retained filtered state and trigger a streaming scan. Tests cover reader closure and fallback behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 9c625

Broad filtered usage queries on large ledgers may get slower on later pages and briefly stall the management server. Fix the cursor-aware access paths before merging, or explicitly accept the risk.

- Close the candidate reader on the unchanged and generation-mismatch
  branches of refreshFilteredAggregate; only the paging paths closed it,
  so repeated unchanged reads leaked one SQLite connection each.
- Wrap index-side candidate-page failures in UsageFilterIndexPageError and
  answer from the streaming ledger scan instead of rejecting the request;
  generation changes keep the rebuild retry.
- Give the write-contention degradation test a 20s timeout: the extended
  busy-retry window takes several seconds by design.

The extended busy-retry backoff plus a 30k-row double scan pushes this
test past the default 5s timeout on CI (observed 5002ms).

Keep bounded retry handling for ledger and aggregation-input changes after the index pager becomes unavailable. Cover ledger replacement, overlay changes, and real SQLite pager rollback/error wrapping in active and passive reads.
Leftover '+' diff-application artifacts between test blocks; they parse as
unary-plus expressions but carry no meaning.

- nextPage() requests an index rebuild when a page fails with SQLITE_CORRUPT/NOTADB, so a damaged projection heals instead of degrading every query to streaming\n- UsageLedgerRebuildRequiredError retries on the original short schedule; the 9-delay backoff stays for SQLITE_BUSY contention\n- document per-page transactions on close(), name the fallback retry contract in the structure doc, and fix the stale one-transaction claim\n- cover the per-page generation recheck against real SQLite with a rebuild between pages

Two racing writers can observe the projection mid-creation: classifyDatabase
sees the schema's statements commit one by one, and a journal sidecar can
vanish mid-stat in preparePrivateSqliteDatabase. Both produced an instant
foreign/unsafe degrade to streaming even though the index was healthy a
moment later; the two-process rebuild test observed exactly that as
candidates:null. Re-check both on the short rebuild schedule; only a home
change still degrades immediately.

- transient foreign file clears mid-retry and a later attempt builds the index
- transient unsafe sidecar clears mid-retry and recovers the same way
- permanent unsafe sidecar still falls back to streaming, unmodified

The schema now commits in one BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction, so the stale
partial-schema justification for the foreign/unsafe re-check is replaced;
the structure note names the classifications that share the short schedule.

The outer WHERE byteOffset > ? on the compound select could not reach
the UNION branches, so every page materialized the whole candidate set
before dropping the rows below the cursor. Each branch now carries the
cursor bound and its own LIMIT, and the wrapped UNION still merges and
deduplicates the bounded branch pages. Adds a >2,000-candidate
provider-only test and a paged plan assertion on the branch seeks.

🔍 Plan assertions do not prove bounded late-page scans

The byte_offset> check may match only the unattributable branch. The provider and client indexes put model or timestamp before offset, so broad filters can still scan beyond 2,000 entries per page. Measure entries visited on a late page rather than checking SQL-plan substrings.

Use cursor-aware access paths for broad filtered pages.

In src/usage/filter-index.ts:1263-1276, provider-only and key-plus-window filters can scan the same index range on every page. Their forced indexes put model or timestamp before byte_offset, so the cursor cannot necessarily seek directly to the next offset. Sorting also requires SQLite to examine more than 2,000 entries.

For a broad filter with (M) candidates, this can require (O(M \lceil M/2000\rceil)) index visits. Each page runs synchronously, so a large ledger can stall the management server between timer yields.

Add cursor-aware access paths while preserving selective-filter behavior. For example, use an index on (generation, provider, byte_offset) for provider-only queries. Update the plan test to check the attribution branch itself, not only the combined plan.

Closing this fork PR because its change is already integrated upstream in lidge-jun#8479, merge commit 23bbe8ea741e401c72d4b251f9c5c7ab87093846.

Upstream lidge-jun#8435 was superseded by the maintainer carry lidge-jun#8479, which landed with contributor attribution. Current upstream dev contains the 2,000-row candidate pager, cursor-bounded offset traversal, cooperative yielding, reader cleanup, and regression coverage for concurrent refresh and access plans. The carry additionally fixes repeated full-range scans and fences reads below the captured indexed offset; lidge-jun#8580 subsequently restores the intended short busy back-off. Rebasing this older fork candidate would duplicate or regress that landed implementation.

Verified against upstream dev aa30ea9d5e on 2026-11-12. No further standalone change remains in this fork PR; the branch is retained.
