feat(streams): a reply survives the process that generated it — the durable frame log - #2409
Conversation
`ai_stream_frames` (migration 0259) had no writer. It was an empty table in
production, and the only durable mid-stream copy of a reply was
`ai_stream_sessions.parts` — a folded snapshot, rewritten whole roughly once a
second (O(n²) in message size over a turn) and bounded by the in-memory ring it
was folded from, so a long reply silently lost its beginning. This makes the
frame log the authoritative durable record.
FOUR LEAVES, all of them.
1. WRITER (frame-log-writer.ts, frame-log-batching.ts, frame-log.ts). A plain
subscriber on the generation's channel — not a link in the pump's chain, so a
slow or failing Postgres cannot apply backpressure to the model. Batches flush
on the first of 64 frames, 200ms, or 256KB, and IMMEDIATELY on a durability
boundary so a rejoining client sees a tool call without waiting out the
throttle. Append-only: each frame is serialized once, written once, never
updated. Its first act is to delete any frames left by a previous attempt on
the messageId, or a joiner replays two generations spliced together.
2. RETENTION. Frames are released only once a terminal `messages` row for them is
CONFIRMED — both turn strategies' `saveTerminal*AssistantMessage` wrappers, and
the crash materializer after its own write. Deliberately NOT `lifecycle.finish()`,
which also runs when the pump failed and nothing was persisted at all: that is
precisely the case the log exists for. A daily backstop sweep
(`cleanupAbandonedStreamFrames`) reclaims logs for streams where neither path
ever ran; 24h, sized so a user who closes the tab on a crashed stream and comes
back tomorrow still recovers from real frames.
3. RECOVERY. `materializeInterruptedStream` folds the frame log through the same
reduction a live client ran over the same frames, so a recovered reply is the
same message rather than a degraded approximation. Falls back to `parts` when
there is no log (an older worker, an already-released message, a failed read) —
`null` and `[]` are kept distinct, because "no frames" read as "an empty reply"
would materialize emptiness over a snapshot that had content. The reader
requires a contiguous prefix from seq 0 and truncates at any gap: folding across
a hole does not produce a slightly-wrong message, it produces a confidently
wrong one.
4. CHECKPOINT TRUNCATION (the filed finding) — CLOSED, and not by reading Postgres
on the checkpoint path. The lifecycle already sees every frame once, in order,
before eviction can reach it, so it now folds incrementally there.
`channel.getFrames()` is gone from both the checkpoint and `getParts()`.
Eviction stops being truncation, and the fold goes from O(frames) per write to
O(frames) per turn.
`isDurabilityBoundary` moved to its own module rather than being copied: the frame
log asks the identical question, and a second copy is how the two would drift.
It is still ENUMERATED, not `startsWith('tool-')` — `tool-input-delta` carries the
model's arguments one token at a time, and a prefix match turns every argument
token into a durable write. Mutation-tested that it stays that way.
ERROR PATHS END SOMETHING. A failed pre-write delete, a failed batch, a rejected
write chain, an exhausted budget: each disables the writer rather than leaving it
buffering frames it will never write. The writer distinguishes "intake is over"
from "queued writes must not run" — collapsing them into one flag drops every
stream's tail, which is how the tests found it. And it leaves the writer registry
only after its last INSERT settles, so a release cannot delete a log out from
under a write still in the air.
The `resumeFromSeq` contract with the parallel client workstream is untouched:
serving an aged-out cursor from Postgres is a natural follow-on, but it is not one
of these leaves and the field's meaning is unchanged.
Ratchet raised 163 -> 164 in all three of its homes: both turn strategies import
`releaseFramesForMessage`, and the import is the one byte-identical line.
Verified: `bun run typecheck` 17/17; `bun run --filter web test -- src/lib/ai
src/app/api/ai` 4646 passed (activity-tools needs DATABASE_URL — pre-existing);
lib 9178 passed (14 integration files need Postgres — pre-existing); lint and the
knip ratchet clean. Mutation-tested: 19 seeded mutations, 18 killed, 1 documented
in source as a provably equivalent mutant.

In both page and global pipelines, this helper is called by the execute-end persistence path before createUIMessageStream invokes onFinish. That path captures lifecycle.getParts() before its database write, while the pump can continue forwarding already-buffered final frames during the write; releasing here deletes the complete frame log even though messages contains only the earlier snapshot. If the process exits before onFinish performs its documented refinement, the row is already terminal and recovery cannot restore the missing tail, defeating this change's crash-durability guarantee. Release the log only after the final response snapshot is persisted, or otherwise preserve it for recovery.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Confirmed and fixed in ad38315 — this was a real hole, and the reasoning is right: execute-end persists the buffered snapshot, onFinish then refines that row, and the pump can still be forwarding the turn's final frames while execute-end's write is in flight. Releasing at the first terminal write discarded a tail that was genuinely still arriving.
The release is now a two-half gate on the lifecycle rather than a direct delete at the call site:
confirmTerminalWrite(messageId)(new onStreamLifecycleHandle) records that a durablemessagesrow exists. It only arms the release.finish()proves no further terminal write is coming.- The delete fires when the later of the two lands (
maybeReleaseFrames, stream-lifecycle.ts).
That also handles the abort ordering you did not mention but which has the same shape: onAbort calls finish(true) first and the persists follow, so the gate closes on the confirmation instead. A turn that never confirms — the pump-failure path — never releases at all, which is the case the log exists for.
Both turn strategies now call lifecycle?.confirmTerminalWrite(args.messageId) instead of releaseFramesForMessage. The id is checked against the generation's own, so the shared helper cannot arm it from a help-responder write.
Covered by five new cases in stream-lifecycle.test.ts (confirm-alone, confirm-then-finish, finish-then-confirm, released-exactly-once, foreign-id-ignored). Mutation-checked: dropping either half of the gate, or the id check, turns them red.

Follow-up in fdbf77b80 — an adversarial pass over my own diff found that the fix in ad38315bf had left a related hole one layer down, so this thread is worth re-reading against the current code.
The gate itself is unchanged and still correct. What changed is how the release reaches the log. It used to go through releaseFramesForMessage(messageId), a by-name lookup that abandoned whatever writer it found — which meant a superseded lifecycle could delete the log its successor was actively writing, and (worse) the crash-recovery sweep could permanently disable durability for a generation that was still running.
There are now two paths with different rules:
writer.release()— the lifecycle's own, used by the gate this thread is about. Refuses if a newer writer has claimed the messageId.releaseFramesForMessage(messageId)— by name, for callers holding no writer. Refuses when a live local writer exists.
Related: finish() no longer calls frameLog.close() when it is about to release. It did both, and release() abandons the writer — which cancels the batch close() had just queued. Harmless in effect since the log was being deleted, but the comment claimed the tail had been written, and if the delete failed the log was left as a prefix missing exactly that tail. Two new cases pin both branches.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
A non-null frame log is not necessarily more complete than row.parts: the writer intentionally stops after any later batch insert failure or after reaching its durable-byte ceiling, leaving a valid contiguous prefix, while lifecycle checkpoints continue independently and may contain many newer frames. In that scenario this unconditional preference folds the shorter prefix and materializes it over the richer snapshot, silently truncating the recovered reply. The recovery path needs completeness metadata, such as comparing the logged end sequence with the snapshot's rawPartsCount, before choosing the log.

Confirmed and fixed in ad38315. You are right that a non-null log is not necessarily the fuller record — the writer stops at its first failed batch and at MAX_DURABLE_BYTES, leaving a valid but short contiguous prefix, while the checkpoint fold carries on independently from memory. The unconditional preference could materialize the shorter one, which is the exact truncation this leaf exists to prevent.
recoverParts now compares the two on the one measure both express in the same unit — frames:
const snapshotFrames = row.rawPartsCount ?? 0;
if (frames.length < snapshotFrames) return row.parts as UIMessagePart[];rawPartsCount is exactly the completeness metadata you suggested, and this is why that column counts raw frames rather than merged parts. Ties go to the log — equal reach means equal content, and the log is the unfolded original rather than a snapshot that has already been through a fold. A shorter log logs a warn rather than passing silently.
rawPartsCount is now threaded through all three materialize call sites (active-streams route, reconcileDeadStreamRows, takeOverConversationStreams). It is optional on MaterializableStreamRow so a caller that omits it degrades to trusting the log rather than crashing — the same defensive shape lastHeartbeatAt uses in stream-liveness.ts.
Three new cases in materialize-interrupted-stream.test.ts: shorter log → snapshot wins; equal-length log → log wins; missing column → log wins. Mutation-checked.

Follow-up in fdbf77b80, relevant to this thread's reasoning.
Your point was that the log can be a short prefix and must therefore be compared rather than trusted. An adversarial pass found the same asymmetry on the READ side: readFrames had no ceiling, and its callers are batch loops — reconcileDeadStreamRows and takeOverConversationStreams fan materializeInterruptedStream out with Promise.all over "potentially dozens" of dead rows. Each call now reads and folds a whole log instead of one already-capped parts blob, so peak memory was dozens x the per-stream durable budget: a recovery sweep turning one dead instance into two.
readFrames now stops at the live fold's budget and returns the prefix it has. That composes with the comparison you asked for rather than fighting it — a truncated read simply reaches less far and loses to rawPartsCount, which is exactly the branch this thread established. Two new cases: a log past the budget truncates, an ordinary log does not.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
For long agent runs with large tool outputs, this folder now retains the entire response in process memory for the generation's lifetime, bypassing the channel ring's existing 24 MB eviction bound. The retry loop allows up to 100 steps and tool-result frames can be multi-megabyte, so one generation can accumulate hundreds of megabytes or more here, with checkpoint cloning/serialization adding further copies and potentially OOMing the worker. Preserve the durability improvement without restoring an unbounded in-memory accumulator, for example by capping the checkpoint fold and relying on the durable log for the complete recovery record.

Confirmed and fixed in ad38315. Correct — making the fold incremental is what stopped eviction truncating the snapshot, but it left an accumulator with no ceiling, and an OOM that takes the generation down is a worse failure than the truncation it fixed.
Capped at MAX_FOLD_BYTES = 24MB, measured with the channel's own estimateFrameBytes so the two budgets cannot disagree about what a frame costs. Deliberately set to the ring's own byte budget, so the fold can never cost materially more memory than the buffer it reads from — the process footprint is what it was before the fold became incremental.
It does not give the bug back, because the ring's two caps bite in different places. The dimension that actually truncated long replies is the 50,000-frame cap, reached by a long agent run's thousands of small text deltas — and those fold into a single accumulating text part, costing this budget almost nothing. Only genuinely large payloads reach the byte cap, and there the durable log is the complete record and the materializer now prefers whichever of the two reaches further (see the sibling thread).
Past the cap the fold stops rather than evicting, so parts stays a coherent PREFIX. That is strictly better than what the ring does to a snapshot: eviction drops a part's opening frame and orphans every delta after it, so the content does not shorten, it disappears.
The Leaf 4 eviction tests were rewritten to drive the ring through its frame-count cap rather than a single huge frame — both because that is the realistic case and because it is the dimension the new cap deliberately does not touch. Three new cases pin the cap itself (stops folding, warns once, does not fire on an ordinary turn). Mutation-checked: removing the cap turns them red.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Follow-up in fdbf77b80. The cap you asked for is now applied on the READ side too, for the same reason it was needed on the write side.
readFrames was unbounded, and its callers are batch loops — a mass recovery fans materializeInterruptedStream out with Promise.all over dozens of dead rows, each now reading and folding a whole log. MAX_FOLD_BYTES bounded the live fold; nothing bounded that one. It now stops at the same budget, so recovering a stream costs no more memory than generating it did.
Also recorded two things about MAX_FOLD_BYTES that were implicit: getParts() reads the same fold, so execute-end's fallback payload is bounded by it too (not a regression — that call used to fold the ring, which bounded it and degraded to an orphaned tail rather than a prefix), and the budget deliberately reuses the channel's own estimateFrameBytes so the two cannot disagree about what a frame costs.

…nded Six review findings on PR #2409. All six were genuine; each is verified against the source rather than taken on the reviewer's word, and each is mutation-checked. RETAIN FRAMES UNTIL THE *LAST* TERMINAL WRITE (P1, codex). A turn writes terminally more than once: execute-end persists the buffered snapshot, then `onFinish` refines that row with the SDK's richer `responseMessage`. Releasing on the first one deleted the log while `messages` still held only the earlier, shorter snapshot — and the pump can still be forwarding the turn's final frames while execute-end's write is in flight, so the discarded tail was real. The release is now a TWO-HALF GATE on the lifecycle: `confirmTerminalWrite(messageId)` proves a durable row exists, `finish()` proves no further terminal write is coming, and the delete fires when the later of the two lands. That covers the abort ordering too, where `onAbort` finishes first and the persists follow. A turn that confirms nothing — the pump-failure path — never releases, which is exactly the case the log exists for. The confirmation ignores foreign messageIds, so the shared route helper cannot arm it from a help-responder write. PREFER THE SNAPSHOT WHEN THE LOG IS SHORTER (P1, codex). "The log exists" is not "the log is longer". The writer stops at its first failed batch and at its durable-byte ceiling, leaving a valid but short contiguous prefix, while the checkpoint fold carries on independently from memory. The unconditional preference could therefore materialize a 100-frame log over a 5000-frame snapshot — the truncation this leaf exists to prevent, reintroduced by its own fix. The two are now compared on the one measure both express in frames: the log's contiguous length against `rawPartsCount`, which is precisely why that column counts raw frames. Ties go to the log. `rawPartsCount` is threaded to all three materialize call sites, and is optional so a caller that omits it degrades to trusting the log rather than crashing. BOUND THE RUNNING FOLD (P2, codex). Making the fold incremental is what stopped ring eviction truncating the snapshot, but it left an accumulator with no ceiling — worse than the truncation it fixed, since a long agent loop emitting multi-megabyte tool results could OOM the worker and take the generation with it. Capped at the ring's own 24MB budget, so the fold can never cost materially more than the buffer it reads from. It does not give the bug back: the dimension that actually truncates long replies is the ring's 50,000-FRAME cap, reached by thousands of small deltas that fold into one accumulating text part and cost this budget almost nothing. Past the cap the fold stops rather than evicting, so `parts` stays a coherent PREFIX — strictly better than eviction, which drops a part's opening frame and orphans everything after it. The Leaf 4 tests now drive eviction through the frame-count dimension, which is both the realistic case and the one the cap deliberately does not touch. A TIMER THAT NOTHING COULD CLEAR (coderabbit). `channel.subscribe` calls `onEnd` synchronously for an already-finished channel, so `close()` and `terminate()` ran before `startFrameLogWriter` returned — with the interval created afterwards, `terminate()` found it null, the timer was then armed with nobody owning it, and every later `terminate()` returned early on `stopped`. A 200ms tick retaining the writer for the life of the process. The window is real: a takeover can finish the channel while `createStreamLifecycle` awaits its INSERT. Fixed by arming the interval BEFORE subscribing, so `terminate()` can clear it in every ordering — rather than by a guard a future reordering could defeat. BYTE_SIZE IN UTF-8 BYTES (coderabbit). `String.length` counts UTF-16 code units, which equals bytes only for ASCII. A column named `byte_size` that undercounts every non-English reply by up to 3x is a misleading storage metric, and it is the number a future durable quota would be enforced from. A FLAKY TEST THAT PASSED FOR THE WRONG REASON (coderabbit). The retention cutoff assertion read the clock BEFORE the call while the sweep derives its cutoff from a later `Date.now()`, so the asserted quantity was `24h - elapsed` and `>= 24h` held only while elapsed rounded to 0ms. It would have flaked in CI. Now frozen with `vi.setSystemTime` and asserted as an exact equality, which also makes it pin the constant instead of bracketing it. The turn-duplication ratchet goes back DOWN to 163: routing the release through the lifecycle removed the identical import from both strategies, so the bump this PR previously recorded is no longer needed. Verified: `bun run typecheck` 17/17; `bun run --filter web test -- src/lib/ai src/app/api/ai` 4660 passed (activity-tools needs DATABASE_URL — pre-existing); lib retention 63 passed; lint and the knip ratchet clean. Mutation-checked: 8 seeded mutations across the six fixes, 8 killed.

…ts now The durability work has a user-visible effect and CLAUDE.md asks for a note when one lands, but the entry has to be honest about the failure it fixes. A long reply interrupted by a restart did not come back SHORTENED — the snapshot was rebuilt from a buffer that discards its oldest frames, and the discarded prefix included the marker that opens a text part, so every delta after it was skipped as an orphan and the text disappeared entirely. That is the sentence a reader deserves. Also closes a coverage gap of my own: the writer's per-stream `MAX_DURABLE_BYTES` budget was documented but never exercised. Driven with frames the channel's estimator cannot serialize — it charges those a flat megabyte — so the test exhausts a 64MB budget in ~64 cheap frames rather than allocating 64MB of strings. Mutation-checked: removing the budget check turns it red. And records two things about `MAX_FOLD_BYTES` that a reviewer would otherwise have to work out: `getParts()` reads the same fold, so execute-end's fallback payload is bounded by it too (not a regression — that call used to fold the ring, which bounded it and degraded to an orphaned tail rather than a prefix), and the budget deliberately shares the channel's estimator so the two cannot disagree about what a frame costs.

…nce it An adversarial review pass over my own diff, hunting for what two rounds of automated review had not found. Seven findings; the first is the one that mattered. A BY-NAME RELEASE COULD SILENTLY DISABLE DURABILITY FOR A RUNNING GENERATION. `releaseFramesForMessage` resolved a writer by messageId and abandoned whatever it found — and `abandon()` sets `writesDisabled`, which is terminal and never re-armed. The caller that makes that reachable is the crash-recovery sweep: liveness is heartbeat-based and the heartbeat write swallows its own failures, so a Postgres blip longer than the stale window leaves every in-flight row looking dead. When the database comes back, the next `/active-streams` poll judges them all provably dead and reaps them — on the very instance still generating them. The frames written so far were deleted and no further frame was ever written, so the generation streamed on to the user with no durable record at all: precisely the state this table exists to remove, entered silently and permanently. The two release paths are now distinct, because they are answering different questions. `writer.release()` is the lifecycle's own — "my generation is over and saved, drop my log" — and it refuses if a newer writer has claimed the messageId. `releaseFramesForMessage` is by name, for callers holding no writer, and it now REFUSES when a live local writer exists: an entry in that map is evidence this process is still generating, so whatever concluded otherwise is wrong or racing. Being wrong in this direction costs a log that outlives its usefulness by a day; in the other direction it costs a reply. THE TAIL FLUSH ON `finish()` WAS A PRETEND FLUSH. On the ordinary path a terminal write is already confirmed, so `close()` queued a batch and the release two lines later abandoned the writer and cancelled it. Harmless in effect — the log was being deleted — but the comment claimed the tail had been written, and if the delete then failed the log was left as a prefix missing exactly that tail. Now it closes only when it is NOT releasing, which is also the only case where the tail matters. THE RECOVERY READ WAS UNBOUNDED. `reconcileDeadStreamRows` and the takeover fan `materializeInterruptedStream` out with `Promise.all` over every dead row an instance left behind — "potentially dozens" by their own docblocks — and each call now reads and folds a whole log rather than one already-capped `parts` blob. Peak memory was dozens x the per-stream durable budget, which is how a recovery sweep turns one dead instance into two. `readFrames` now stops at the LIVE fold's budget and returns the prefix, so recovering a stream costs no more than generating it did. It composes with the completeness comparison: a truncated read simply reaches less far and loses to the snapshot. THE NEW SWEEP RACED A CASCADE INTO ITS OWN TABLE. `cleanupAbandonedStreamFrames` sat in the same concurrent group as `cleanupSoftDeletedChatRecords`, whose `conversations` DELETE cascades into `ai_stream_frames` — two statements with an overlapping row set taking locks in different orders, and a deadlock aborts the whole retention run. That is the exact hazard that function's own docblock says it sequenced its statements to avoid; the discipline the file established for this table graph now has no exception. AND TWO DOCUMENTATION DEBTS, both fair. The supersession machinery is justified by "a retry or takeover reuses the messageId", which the routes cannot actually produce — server-minted ids plus `startGenerationExclusive` mean one lifecycle per messageId. It is kept (the failure it prevents is a message that never existed being replayed as if it had) but now says out loud that it is defensive and what it costs, so the next reader does not have to reverse-engineer two route files to discover the premise is false. The writer registry's docblock also described the by-name release backwards and is corrected. The remaining finding — frames outliving a turn whose conversation was deleted mid-generation — is left to the backstop deliberately: that window is bounded at 24-48h, which is already tighter than the 30-day soft-delete window the conversation's own messages sit in. Verified: `bun run build` then `bun run typecheck` 17/17 (typecheck reads `.next/types`, which only web's own build generates — running it on a cold tree fails spuriously); `bun run --filter web test -- src/lib/ai src/app/api/ai` 4669 passed (activity-tools needs DATABASE_URL — pre-existing); lib compliance 272 passed (two integration files need Postgres — pre-existing); knip ratchet clean. Mutation-checked: 8 seeded mutations across these fixes, 8 killed.

… does not My own docblock overclaimed. The ceiling in `readFrames` bounds what the function RETAINS and what the caller then FOLDS — the dominant cost, since the fold allocates a part per frame family, reconstructs partial JSON and grows a string. It does not bound the SELECT: the driver has already materialized the message's rows by the time the walk starts. That residual is real and worth naming rather than leaving a reader to discover it. It is capped by the writer's own `MAX_DURABLE_BYTES`, and bounding it tightly would need a cumulative-sum window function or a streaming cursor — not worth the machinery against a per-message cap that already holds. A comment that implies a stronger guarantee than the code provides is the kind of thing this file exists to avoid. Comment-only; no behaviour change.

…after A second adversarial pass, aimed only at the previous commit's fixes — the place new bugs actually come from. Three findings, all correct. THE READ BUDGET WAS APPLIED TO SOMETHING ALREADY IN MEMORY. `readFrames` ran one SELECT and then walked the rows against a byte ceiling, so the driver had already materialized and parsed the entire log before any JavaScript limit could look at it. In the exact scenario the docblock cited — `Promise.all` fan-out over dozens of dead rows — peak was therefore unchanged, while the comment asserted the opposite. A ceiling that runs after the allocation is not a ceiling. It is two queries now, and the split is the point. The first reads only row METADATA — three integers per row, tens of rows — and decides both the contiguous prefix and the byte budget from it. The second fetches `frames` for exactly the rows that survived that decision. One extra round trip, on a path that only runs after a process has died. The test mocks had to learn the same shape: replaying one canned array to both passes would have made every truncation assertion vacuous, so the mock now models the `from_seq <= lastWanted` predicate. THE SUPERSESSION GUARD WAS A TOCTOU. `release()` read the registry, then awaited `abandon()` — which waits out the in-flight write chain, unbounded in time, and deregisters itself on the way — and only then deleted. A writer registering inside that window was invisible to the earlier check AND could not see us to wait for, so the stale DELETE could land on the successor's freshly inserted rows: the exact failure the guard was sold as preventing, through the guard. The check now runs AFTER the wind-down, which is the only position that holds. Mutation-testing then showed the pre-await check was redundant — no test could distinguish it, because the post-await one catches the same cases and abandoning an already-superseded writer is harmless. Removed rather than kept as an untestable branch. The remaining single check is load-bearing: deleting it turns two cases red, including a new one that registers a successor while the release is parked on its write chain. AND A DOCBLOCK DESCRIBING BEHAVIOUR I HAD DELETED. `deregister()` still explained itself in terms of `releaseFramesForMessage` "awaiting the writer before DELETEing" — which is what it used to do; it now refuses on a hit and awaits nothing. The invariant is unchanged and still load-bearing (an early deregister would make the writer invisible to that refusal), but the mechanism named was the old one. Two smaller honesty fixes in passing: `MAX_READ_BYTES` and `MAX_FOLD_BYTES` are the same number in DIFFERENT units (exact UTF-8 bytes vs the estimator's length + 64), which the comment claimed matched outright; and sequencing the frame sweep after the chat sweep means a rejection in the concurrent group now skips it entirely where it previously completed — the right trade against the deadlock, self-healing on the next daily run, and deliberately not wrapped in a try/catch that would quietly complete a partly-failed run. Verified: `bun run build` 14/14 then `bun run typecheck` 17/17; `bun run --filter web test -- src/lib/ai src/app/api/ai` 4670 passed (activity-tools needs DATABASE_URL — pre-existing); lib retention 63 passed; lint 15/15; knip ratchet clean. Mutation-checked: 6 seeded across these fixes, 5 killed and the 6th deleted as provably redundant.

Heads-up on sibling-PR overlap, since both of these are in flight against #2410 ( So whichever lands second needs a one-minute changelog resolution that keeps both entries — they describe different user-visible fixes and neither supersedes the other. Also worth stating explicitly for that PR's author: this branch does not touch any file on the client workstream's owned list, and |
… the read before it Splitting `readFrames` into an index pass and a payload pass bounded the memory, but it also introduced a window I had not accounted for: between the two queries the log can be deleted outright (a release, or the retention backstop) or — were a messageId ever re-registered — replaced by a successor's generation. The payload pass concatenated whatever came back, so a log that changed underneath it produced a partial message with no sign anything was wrong. Correctness should not depend on two queries agreeing. The payload pass now re-walks contiguity from seq 0 itself, using the `frame_count` it selects, which demotes the index pass to what it should have been all along: a decision about HOW MUCH to fetch, with no say in what is valid. A vanished log yields `null` and falls back to the `parts` snapshot; a replaced one yields ITS own valid prefix. Neither can produce a splice. Two cases pin it — the log deleted between the reads, and the log replaced with a non-contiguous set. Mutation-checked: removing the walk turns the second red. Verified: `bun run build` 14/14 then `bun run typecheck` 17/17; web ai suite 4672 passed; lint 15/15; knip ratchet clean. Worth recording for anyone reproducing the gate locally: `bun run typecheck` reads `apps/web/.next/types`, which is populated by turbo restoring web's cached build outputs. Running `next build` directly inside apps/web replaces `.next` WITHOUT those 445 typed route files, after which typecheck fails with a wall of TS6053 that has nothing to do with the code. `bun run build` at the root restores them. CI never hits this. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01EP7BXo5vpse82augdCcZpa

`keptRows: lastWantedSeq + 1` was wrong in the way this table is specifically designed to invite: seq numbers FRAMES, not rows, so `lastWantedSeq` is a frame offset and using it as a row count misreports every multi-frame batch — which is the normal case, since a batch holds up to 64 frames. Counted properly now, and the frame total reported alongside it under a name that says so: `expectedSeq` has advanced by each accepted row's `frame_count`, so it IS the frame count, and it is the number the row count cannot express. A diagnostic that is only read when the read budget bites should not be the thing that misleads whoever is reading it. Review finding — coderabbitai.

Why
ai_stream_frames(migration 0259) had no writer. It was an empty table in production.PR #2408 fixed half the durability problem: the server owns the stream, and one seq-addressed
channel carries the SDK's own
UIMessageChunkframes to every viewer. But that channel is inmemory only. When the owning Node process dies — a deploy, an OOM, a Fly host migration — the
frames die with it, and the only durable mid-stream copy was
ai_stream_sessions.parts: a foldedsnapshot, rewritten whole roughly once a second (O(n²) in message size over a turn) and bounded
by the memory ring it was folded from, so a long reply silently lost its beginning.
This makes the frame log the authoritative durable record. It unblocks the resumption epic and lets
partsbe dropped.What
Leaf 1 — the writer.

boundary so a rejoining client sees a tool call without waiting out the throttle.
touch the table — an INSERT of a batch and a DELETE of a whole message's log. No UPDATE at all.
two generations spliced together into a message that never existed.
Postgres cannot apply backpressure to the model.
Leaf 2 — retention. Frames are released only once a terminal
messagesrow is confirmed —both turn strategies'
saveTerminal*AssistantMessagewrappers (gated onpersisted/savedandrole === 'assistant') and the crash materializer after its own write. Deliberately notlifecycle.finish(), which also runs when the pump failed and nothing was persisted at all — thatis precisely the case the log exists for. A daily backstop sweep (
cleanupAbandonedStreamFrames,folded into the existing
runRetentionCleanup) reclaims logs where neither path ever ran.Leaf 3 — recovery.
materializeInterruptedStreamfolds the frame log through the samereduction a live client ran over the same frames, so a recovered reply is the same message, not a
degraded approximation. Falls back to
partswhen there is no log (an older worker, analready-released message, a failed read).
Leaf 4 — the filed checkpoint-truncation finding: closed, and not by reading Postgres on the
checkpoint path. The lifecycle already sees every frame once, in order, before eviction can reach
it — so it now folds incrementally there.
channel.getFrames()is gone from both the checkpointand
getParts(). Eviction stops being truncation, and the fold goes from O(frames) per write toO(frames) per turn.
Decisions worth arguing with
The boundary allow-list is still enumerated, not
startsWith('tool-').isDurabilityBoundarymoved to its own module rather than being copied — the frame log asks the identical question, and a
second copy is how the two drift.
tool-input-deltacarries the model's arguments one token at atime; a prefix match turns every argument token into a durable write. There is a mutation-killed
test for exactly this.
Error paths end something. A failed pre-write delete, a failed batch, a rejected write chain,
an exhausted budget — each disables the writer rather than leaving it buffering frames it will
never write. The writer distinguishes "intake is over" from "queued writes must not run"; the
reader requires a contiguous prefix from seq 0 and truncates at any gap, because folding across a
hole produces a confidently wrong message rather than a slightly short one.
Per-stream durable budget is 64MB — deliberately above the 24MB memory ring, so the durable log
is never the shorter of the two records. Past it the log holds a prefix, which is exactly what a
client that disconnected at that seq would have.
Migration: none. 0259 already exists on master, and GDPR export, erasure, and the tenant-bundle
exclusion were already wired for the table.
Two real bugs the tests found in this PR's own code
close()calledterminate(), whosestoppedflag then cancelled the very flushclose()hadjust queued — every stream would have silently lost its tail.
a write still in the air, stranding a partial log until the backstop swept it a day later.
Both are pinned by tests that go red when reverted.
Shared contract with the parallel client workstream
resumeFromSeqis untouched in both presence and meaning. Serving an aged-out cursor fromPostgres is a natural follow-on and explicitly in scope, but it is not one of these four leaves and
stream-joinis where the client work lands — so it is left alone rather than changed underneathit. None of the files owned by that workstream are modified.
