fix(errors): settle fix verifications once, unblock the verification tick, purge issue children - #2439
Stacked on #2438. Part of the audit stack that starts at #2434.
Bugs fixed
A settled fix verification reopened on any later event for the merged PR. The only guard was "no waiting or running row", and GitHub sends merged: true on every later action. Editing a merged PR's title, or a redelivered webhook, wrote a second pr_merged event and moved a closed issue back to verifying. openForLink now refuses when a verification already exists for that link, whatever its status. An unlink and re-link is a new link and verifies again.
The verification tick could starve.dueVerifications was LIMIT 20 with no order, and a row whose issue or PR link was gone stayed waiting forever. Due rows are now read least recently touched first. A row with no subject is settled as abandoned. A row whose org's warehouse cannot be read is touched, so it goes to the back of the queue with its window unchanged; it stays waiting while the warehouse fails but no longer sits ahead of rows that can be judged.
propose_fix with an already merged PR failed after writing. Linking moved the issue to verifying, then the stale row was walked to in_review and the guarded update matched nothing. It now walks from the row as it is after linking.
Issue retention left child rows forever. It now deletes an issue's verifications, pull request links and escalations, and prunes terminal notification delivery rows after 30 days, at most 1,000 per org per run so a first run cannot delete a large backlog in one statement.
Also
Issue hydration ran six independent reads one after another on every list call and after every mutation. They now run concurrently, as do the three org-discovery reads in the per-minute tick.
leaseConflict had two copies. One export now.
A stale comment and one line of docs/error-issue-lifecycle.md are corrected, with three short rules for the new behaviour.
CI: the test planner sized backend at 1.6 seconds per file, measured long ago. Its four shards now take 185 to 239 seconds against the 240 second lane budget and one went over. The rate is re-measured at 2.0, which plans five shards.
Verification
The errors service tests pass, including ErrorsService.test.ts (125) and both verification test files (56).
The new tests fail on the old source, except the re-link test, which passes on both.
packages/backend typecheck is clean. Lint and format are clean on the changed files.
Left for a decision
Investigations are not deleted with their issue. Each one keys a chat session Durable Object that only the AI worker can release, and no delete path exists yet.
Org deletion keeps the same child tables. They are listed in UNPURGED_ORG_SCOPED_TABLES.
A cancelled issue still opens incidents and notifies. Unchanged here.
settledRuns has the same unordered LIMIT shape as the fixed query.
…tick, purge issue children
Fix verification
- A pull request link is verified once. GitHub reports merged on every
event after the merge, so an edit to a merged PR or a redelivery wrote a
second pr_merged event, opened a new window and moved a closed issue
back to verifying. openForLink now refuses when any verification exists
for the link. The guard is on the link row, so an unlink and re-link is
a new link and verifies again.
- The verification tick could starve. Due rows are now read longest
overdue first, a row whose issue or link is gone is settled as
abandoned instead of being skipped every minute, and a row whose
occurrences cannot be read has its window moved out 15 minutes so a
failing org stops heading the queue.
propose_fix
- With a PR that had already merged, linking opened the window and moved
the issue to verifying, then the walk to in_review started from the
stale row and failed after the event, link and window were committed.
The walk now starts from the row re-read after the link and stops when
the issue is already verifying.
Retention
- Purging an issue also deletes its pull request links, verifications and
escalations (no FK cascades exist). Investigations are left, since each
keys a chat session whose storage only the AI worker can release.
- Notification outbox rows in a terminal status are pruned after 30 days.
Round trips
- Issue hydration and its two helpers run their independent reads
concurrently, as do the three org discovery reads at the head of the
errors tick.
Cleanup
- One leaseConflict definition, a stale comment about per-execute
connections corrected, and the lifecycle doc now says the tick's
regression is its own guarded bulk UPDATE.
The pull-request verification service updates verification eligibility, ordering, and tick outcomes. Retention removes related rows for purged issues and old terminal notification deliveries. Workflow reads run concurrently, lease-conflict construction is shared, and the backend test runtime estimate increases.
Changes: Verification lifecycle and retention
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Verification eligibility and routing packages/backend/src/services/errors/IssueFixVerificationService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/errors/IssueFixVerificationService.test.ts, packages/backend/src/services/errors/ErrorsService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/errors/ErrorsService.test.ts, docs/error-issue-lifecycle.md
The service blocks another verification for the same pull-request link, orders due rows by updatedAt, and adds guarded abandon and defer operations. Fix proposals use the reloaded issue state after pull-request linking. Tests and lifecycle documentation cover these behaviors and state-write rules.
The tick abandons verification rows when the issue or pull-request link is missing. When occurrence data cannot be read, it defers the row without changing its verification window. Tests cover both outcomes.
Issue and notification retention packages/backend/src/services/errors/ErrorsService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/errors/ErrorsService.test.ts, docs/error-issue-lifecycle.md
Retention deletes verification, pull-request, and escalation rows for purged issues. It also prunes terminal notification deliveries older than 30 days, in batches of up to 1,000 per organization. Tests check which rows remain.

This deleteFrom has no row limit. The comment says outbox rows were "only ever inserted and updated". Until now, nothing deleted them, so the first retention run can match a very large backlog for an org. That run deletes everything in one statement inside the per-org tick. The only index that covers this table's orgId is error_notification_deliveries_org_idx. It does not cover status or updatedAt. The statement therefore scans all rows for the org.
A large single delete holds locks, grows WAL, and can exceed the tick's time budget. If it fails, the org's retention phase fails and the next hourly run repeats the same large delete.
Delete a bounded batch per run, as the issue purge below already does with .limit(500). Later runs drain the backlog.
Verify that PG.inSubquery accepts the id column in a deleteFromwhere. The file already uses it in update statements.
Based on learnings: for bulk purge jobs on PostgreSQL, "recommend deleting in small batches (roughly 500-1000 rows per transaction)".

Pushing verify_after out by 15 minutes also inflated the retry an inconclusive
verdict computes, which is measured from verify_after minus merged_at. The row
is now only touched, and due rows are read least recently touched first, so a
deferred row goes to the back of the queue with its window intact.
Nothing pruned the outbox before, so an org's first retention run could match
a large backlog and delete it in one statement inside the per-org tick. Each
run now removes at most 1000 rows; later runs drain the rest.
On the review nitpick (the notification delivery prune had no row limit): agreed, and fixed in the latest push. Nothing pruned that table before, so an org's first retention run could have matched a large backlog and deleted it in one statement inside the per-org tick. The prune now selects at most 1000 ids and deletes those, the same two-step shape the issue purge beside it uses; later hourly runs drain the rest. A test seeds one more batch than the limit plus five rows and asserts exactly five remain after one run.
Rows that fail without being deferred can still pin the head of the due queue.
dueVerifications now sorts by updatedAt ascending. A row only moves to the back if the tick writes updatedAt on it. The tick does this for abandon and defer only.
If applyVerdictGuarded returns false for a row, the tick leaves that row waiting with its old updatedAt. The row stays at the head of every page. The tick comment already says a row can fail deterministically. If 20 or more such rows exist, they fill each MAX_VERIFICATIONS_PER_TICK page and starve the other rows. This is the failure mode the PR fixes for the other two paths.
Call deferVerification through guardedWrite when applyVerdictGuarded returns false. This keeps one rule: any row the tick cannot settle goes to the back. Add a tie-breaker such as ["id", "asc"] so rows with equal updatedAt have a stable order.

- Line 224: Update the verification-row guarantee in the lifecycle documentation
to describe queue rotation rather than guaranteed completion. Clarify that
repeated warehouse read failures can leave a row in waiting indefinitely and
that, with fewer than 20 due rows, it may appear in every tick’s page; retain
deferVerification as the relevant behavior.

CI note: Tests (small-1) failed once on this head and has been re-run. The failure was one case in packages/query-engine/src/ch/queries/list-input-nesting.property.test.ts ("span attribute OR group") hitting vitest's 5000ms test timeout at 5135ms on a loaded runner; its sibling case took 4687ms in the same run. The same file runs in about a second per case locally and passes, and this stack does not touch that test or the code it exercises. The whole lane (query-engine, domain, alerting, CLI) passes locally on this branch. If it keeps recurring it wants a longer timeout on that property test, which is outside this PR.
On the two outside-diff comments from the latest review. Neither is changed in this PR; both are real and are follow-ups.
Make the issue purge atomic. The purge was already a sequence of separate statements before this PR: incidents, evaluator state, events, the fingerprint hand-back for merged issues, then the parent row. This PR adds three more child deletes to that same sequence, so they inherit its failure mode and do not introduce a new one. If a statement fails part way, the issue row still matches the purge predicate (archived and last seen past the cutoff) and the next hourly run finishes the job. The window the review describes, an alert reopening the issue between a failed run and the next one, exists today for its events and incidents too. Closing it properly means one transaction around about ten statements with the candidates selected under a lock, on a path that runs for every org each hour. That is a design change to the retention phase, not a small fix, and it should be its own PR with its own tests.
Keep delivery retention independent of issue discovery. Correct that the delivery prune runs inside the per-org retention phase, so an org the tick no longer visits keeps whatever is left of its backlog after the batches it did get. Before this PR that table was never pruned at all, so this is a strict improvement with a bounded leftover. Visiting orgs for deliveries alone would mean changing org discovery, which the code comments flag as a hot spot (the discovery reads were once about a third of database CPU). A separate, cheaper sweep keyed on the deliveries table would be the way to do it, as a follow-up.
