fix(state): reclaim index generations the manifest can no longer name by inix-x · Pull Request #1256 · rohitg00/agentmemory

inix-x · 2026-08-26T10:50:00Z

Closes #1115.

The bug

IndexPersistence.saveShardedIndex writes each new index generation's shards, publishes a manifest naming it, then deletes the previous generation. That last step only runs when the previous manifest read succeeded:

const previous = await this.kv
  .get<IndexShardManifest>(KV.bm25Index, manifestKey)
  .catch(() => null);

That read is the first thing the function does, and it fails under exactly the load that makes saves slow. previous becomes null, the cleanup guard is skipped, and the whole preceding generation is stranded. Nothing ever revisits it: a later save only inspects its own predecessor, loadShardedData reads only the shards the current manifest lists, and StateKV can list keys within a scope but cannot enumerate scopes by prefix. An unrecorded generation is unfindable.

Two more paths reach the same state. The manifest catch block ends in a throw, so a write that threw after committing skips the cleanup below it. And a kill between the first shard write and the cleanup leaves a generation nothing recorded.

Evidence

From a deployed store, counted rather than inferred:

	files	MB
vectors, live	140	266.6
bm25, live	78	164.4
bm25, 8 dead generations	162	339.4
observations (the actual data)	1314	35.4

339.4 MB of orphans, 33.5% of a 1013 MB store, against 35 MB of real data. Generation ids are Date.now().toString(36), so they decode to timestamps: the oldest orphan was 13 days old, and every one of them lands on a restart or an incident.

On a container with a memory cap this escalates. The store grows, the engine's memory floor rises with it, and the engine is eventually killed. Each kill orphans another generation, so the next kill arrives sooner. Observed cadence went from about 9 hours to under 3 minutes.

This matches the two reports already in #1115 (macOS/launchd and Linux/systemd), which independently measured 79% derived data on their own stores.

The fix

Record each generation in a ledger stored beside its manifest, written before the first shard write, and reclaim from it after publish and again on load.

Saves are serialized. scheduleSave fires save() unawaited from a timer, flushIndexSave awaits save() on every delete path, and stop() clears the timer without awaiting a save already running, so saves overlap by construction. Two of them read-modify-writing one ledger drop each other's entries, and the one that publishes second reclaims the shards the first is still writing. The queue never coalesces, because flushIndexSave awaits save() to make a delete durable and returning an in-flight promise that started before the delete would report success for a snapshot without it. The load-time reclaim joins the same queue.

Degradation is deliberate. An unreadable ledger skips that cycle's tracking and reclaim rather than failing the save, and falls back to the pre-ledger cleanup, so it stays at parity with current behaviour instead of regressing. A ledger whose shape is not recognised is left untouched. Reclaim keeps malformed entries rather than iterating them, so a GC step can never fail a load, and it emits one audit row per sweep rather than one per shard, per the policy in src/functions/audit.ts.

Each index also saves independently now. One try around both let a BM25 failure stop the vector index persisting.

That last clause used to end "and a lost vector index is never rebuilt because both rebuild triggers key on the BM25 size." That is no longer true as of #1258, which adds a vector-aware rebuild trigger. See the composition note below.

Known limitations

Three things a reviewer should weigh, stated up front rather than discovered later.

The ledger cannot discover generations orphaned before it existed. It stops further accumulation and reclaims everything from the upgrade forward, but the 339 MB already on disk needs a one-time reclaim. Nothing can enumerate shard scopes, so that cannot be done from inside this abstraction.
state::delete on a missing key is benign. Verified, so this is no longer a limitation. It is load-bearing in two places, the rollback path and the reclaim retry, so it was worth settling rather than assuming. Four independent confirmations at the pinned engine v0.11.2: engine/src/workers/state/state.rs:290-329 returns Success(None) for an absent key, and its only failure paths are store-level and equally reachable on a present key; the configured kv / file_based adapter (adapters/kv_store.rs:50-59) wraps an infallible store, so even those branches are unreachable for this deployment; the engine's own unit test test_delete_nonexistent_key asserts it; and a probe driven through iii-sdk against the real 0.11.2 binary resolved every case, including the exact rollback double-delete shape, with no rejection and no log line at any level.
The gc ledger's generations array is unbounded while every shard delete keeps failing. Each debounce appends a generation carrying its full shard list, and reclaimGenerations only rewrites the ledger when something was actually reclaimed, so nothing drains it until one delete succeeds. Reaching that state takes a total delete outage. A length cap is more than a one-line change and is not attempted here.

Measured rather than argued: under a differential brownout where the 2 MB shard state::set times out while small ledger writes keep working, 20 rollback cycles leave the current code flat at 0 ledger entries, and a variant with the rollback bookkeeping removed at 20, growing linearly. At DEBOUNCE_MS = 5000 that is 12 entries per minute on the save hot path.

Composes with #1258

Both PRs rewrite deleteKey to return a boolean and both restructure save() in src/state/index-persistence.ts, so they conflict textually and semantically. #1258 splits save() with vectors first and calls saveVectorBuckets, where this PR still calls saveVectorIndex(this.vector.serialize()).

#1258 should land first. It replaces the vector save path this PR reasons about, and it closes the "a lost vector index is never rebuilt" hole quoted above. Landing this one first means #1258 rewrites the same functions again.

Testing

Thirteen new tests in test/index-persistence.test.ts, each verified to fail without its corresponding fix (mutation-checked, not assumed):

previous generation reclaimed when the previous-manifest read fails
same for the vector path
generation stranded by a failed cleanup reclaimed on the next load
published manifest stays whole when two saves overlap
index still persists when the gc ledger is unreadable
index still reclaims when the ledger holds a malformed entry
unrecognised ledger is never overwritten
fallback cleanup runs when the ledger is unusable
ledger entry survives a failed rollback delete

npm test: 1721 passing. tsc --noEmit is unchanged from base (same 30 pre-existing errors).

Three subprocess tests failed on one full run and were confirmed as the suite's known non-determinism rather than assumed: the failure set changed between two runs of an identical tree, every failure was a 5000 ms wall-clock timeout rather than an assertion, and all pass in isolation. A static code change cannot produce different failures across two runs of the same tree.

Measured against base on the two regression-prone paths: with the gc ledger unreadable across 10 saves, both base and this branch leave 0 orphans. With 5 rollback cycles where every delete fails, base leaves 10 orphans permanently while this branch drains to 0 after one clean save.

saveShardedIndex wrote each new generation's shards, published a manifest naming it, then deleted the previous generation only when its manifest read had succeeded. That read is the first thing the function does, and it fails under exactly the load that makes saves slow, so `previous` became null and the whole preceding generation was stranded. Nothing revisits it: a later save only inspects its own predecessor, and loadShardedData reads only the shards the current manifest lists. Two further paths reached the same state. The manifest catch block ends in a throw, so a write that threw after committing skipped the cleanup below it. And a kill between the first shard write and the cleanup left a generation nothing had recorded. Verified on a deployed store: 8 dead BM25 generations, 339 MB, 33.5% of a 1013 MB store, the oldest 13 days old, against 35 MB of actual observations. Every orphan's generation id decodes to a restart or an incident. Record each generation in a ledger beside its manifest, written before the first shard write, and reclaim from it after publish and again on load. StateKV lists keys within a scope and never scopes by prefix, so a generation that is not recorded cannot be found again by anything. Serialise saves. scheduleSave fires save() unawaited from a timer while flushIndexSave awaits save() on every delete path, and stop() clears the timer without awaiting a save already running, so saves overlap by construction. Two of them read-modify-writing one ledger drop each other's entries, and the one that publishes second reclaims the shards the first is still writing, leaving it to publish a manifest naming data that is already gone. The queue never coalesces: flushIndexSave awaits save() to make a delete durable, so returning an in-flight promise that started before the delete would report success for a snapshot without it. The load-time reclaim joins the same queue. An unreadable ledger skips that cycle's tracking and reclaim rather than failing the save. state::get timing out is the condition this bug appears under, and aborting there would stop persisting the index entirely, which costs a full-corpus rebuild. A ledger whose shape is not recognised is left untouched, never rewritten. Reclaim keeps malformed entries instead of iterating them, so a GC step can never fail a load, and emits one audit row per sweep rather than one per shard, per the policy in src/functions/audit.ts. Each index saves independently, since one try around both would let a BM25 failure stop the vector index persisting, and a lost vector index is never rebuilt: both rebuild triggers key on the BM25 size. A failed delete keeps its shards listed and retries, rather than stranding them. The ledger cannot discover generations orphaned before it existed; those need a one-time reclaim.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Index persistence now serializes saves, isolates BM25 and vector failures, tracks shard generations in a GC ledger, retries incomplete cleanup, and reclaims obsolete generations after manifest loads. Tests cover concurrent saves, ledger failures, rollback cleanup, legacy manifests, and recovery.

Changes

Index persistence lifecycle

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Serialized index saves and failure isolation `src/state/index-persistence.ts`, `test/index-persistence.test.ts`	Saves run serially through a promise queue. Unstarted saves are coalesced, while running saves allow one later save. BM25 and vector persistence report failures independently. Failure throttling is tracked per index. Tests verify concurrent-save behavior.
Generation ledger tracking and reclamation `src/state/index-persistence.ts`, `test/index-persistence.test.ts`	A GC ledger records generations and shard locations. Ledger reads validate entry shapes and preserve unrecognized formats. Failed reads skip tracking or reclamation without aborting persistence. Failed deletions and malformed entries remain retryable. Tests cover ledger failures, rollback cleanup, and format compatibility.
Manifest-load reclamation and recovery validation `src/state/index-persistence.ts`, `test/index-persistence.test.ts`	Successful manifest loads queue reclamation of older generations. Reclamation failures do not fail manifest loading. Tests cover manifest-read failures, legacy manifests, in-flight generations, and generation recovery.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 81127

The persistence cleanup changes can delete newly published index data when publication status is uncertain and can delete unrelated data when the reclamation ledger is malformed. These high-impact data-integrity risks mean the PR is not merge-ready until publication-state handling and ledger-entry validation are corrected.

… the line Serialising every save fixed the ledger races, and introduced a worse problem than the one it solved. flushIndexSave awaits save() on five delete paths (governance.ts:33,139, remember.ts:321, retention.ts:392, auto-forget.ts:194), so once saves are queued rather than overlapping, a delete waits for every save ahead of it. That is fine when a save takes a second. When saves are timing out at 180s it turns a delete into an unbounded wait and the request dies. Measured on the deployed instance: no index save completed in a 29 minute window, and 5xx rates rose sharply from the commit that added the queue. The original reasoning against coalescing was right about one case and too broad about the other. A save that is ALREADY RUNNING must never be handed back: its snapshot predates the caller's mutation, so reporting success would tell a delete it was durable when it was not. But a save that is queued and has not started yet has not taken its snapshot, so it will serialise whatever the caller just changed. Those callers can share it. Track the queued-but-not-started save and hand it to arriving callers, clearing it the moment it begins to run so the next caller queues its own. Six concurrent delete flushes now cost at most two saves instead of six, with the durability guarantee unchanged.

Follow-up commit: the save queue this PR adds caused a regression I need to flag rather than let a reviewer find.

flushIndexSave is awaited on five delete paths (governance.ts:33,139, remember.ts:321, retention.ts:392, auto-forget.ts:194). Once saves are serialised rather than overlapping, a delete waits for every save ahead of it. That is fine when a save takes a second. When saves are timing out at 180s it turns a delete into an unbounded wait and the request dies.

Measured on a deployed instance running this change: no index save completed in a 29 minute window, and 5xx rates rose sharply from the point this commit was deployed.

My original note in this PR — "the cost is real: a delete-path flush waits out the save ahead of it" — was correct and I underestimated it.

The reasoning against coalescing was right about one case and too broad about the other. A save that is already running must never be handed back: its snapshot predates the caller's mutation, so reporting success would tell a delete it was durable when it was not. But a save that is queued and has not started has not taken its snapshot yet, so it will serialise whatever the caller just changed. Those callers can safely share it.

c6851e7 tracks the queued-but-not-started save and hands it to arriving callers, clearing it the moment it starts running so the next caller queues its own. Six concurrent delete flushes now cost at most two saves instead of six, and the durability guarantee is unchanged.

The test was confirmed to fail against the unfixed code first: it measured 6 saves for 6 callers, and now measures 2.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 10 included reviews per hour; 8 remain after this review.

Review flagged the comments added with the coalescing fix as explaining what the code does, which AGENTS.md rules out under Coding Standards for src. `pendingSave` needed three comment blocks because the name did not say which saves qualify. `unstartedSave` does: only a save that has not begun running may be handed to a new caller, since a save already in flight took its snapshot before that caller's mutation and reporting success for it would tell a delete it was durable when it was not. Rename plus comment removal, no behaviour change. Also removes an authoring marker that should not have shipped upstream. What it recorded is a genuine limitation and moves to the PR body: the gc ledger's `generations` array grows unbounded while every shard delete keeps failing, because each debounce appends a generation carrying its full shard list and `reclaimGenerations` only rewrites the ledger when something was actually reclaimed. Reaching that state takes a total delete outage, and capping the length is more than a one-line change, so it is disclosed rather than fixed here.

reclaimGenerations deletes shards serially. Both save and load await the complete sweep. If one delete is slow or times out, each caller waits for every old shard. The catch only suppresses the error after the wait.

Run reclamation as a best-effort background operation while preserving ledger ordering. Also execute independent deletes with Promise.allSettled or bounded parallelism.

Do not delete shards when publication status is unknown.

If kv.set committed but the verification kv.get fails, isManifestPublished returns false. This branch then deletes the new shards and may untrack the generation even though the manifest points to them. The next load can fail because the published manifest references missing shards.

Return an explicit unknown verification state. Roll back only after confirming that the manifest was not published.

this.kv.delete: require the scope to match the expected shard scope prefix and
the key to match INDEX_SHARD_KEY. Retain invalid descriptors in stranded so they
are not deleted or counted as reclaimed, while preserving existing handling for
valid shards and deletion failures.

Outside diff comments:
In `@src/state/index-persistence.ts`:
- Around line 576-596: Update the audit condition in the generation-reclaim flow
to run when either reclaimedPaths contains successful deletions or failed is
greater than zero. When no shard was removed, pass the ledger path as the audit
target instead of an empty reclaimedPaths list, while preserving the existing
metadata and early return only when both counts are zero.
- Around line 352-356: Update the save/load cleanup flow around
reclaimGenerations so reclamation runs as a best-effort background operation
without being awaited on the critical paths, while preserving ledger-update
ordering and error suppression. Refactor reclaimGenerations to execute
independent shard deletions concurrently with Promise.allSettled or bounded
parallelism instead of serial awaits.
- Around line 341-348: Update isManifestPublished to return an explicit unknown
verification state when kv.get fails, and adjust the publication rollback flow
around deleteShards and untrackGeneration to roll back only when publication is
confirmed absent; leave shards and tracking unchanged when verification is
unknown.
- Around line 718-724: Update loadManifestData to validate a present manifest
generation before returning it: allow an absent generation for pre-ledger
manifests, but reject null, empty strings, and all non-string values. Ensure
loadShardedData only invokes reclaimGenerations with a validated non-empty
generation.
- Around line 557-569: Update reclaimGenerations to validate every shard
descriptor before calling this.kv.delete: require the scope to match the
expected shard scope prefix and the key to match INDEX_SHARD_KEY. Retain invalid
descriptors in stranded so they are not deleted or counted as reclaimed, while
preserving existing handling for valid shards and deletion failures.
