Stop a long-open tab erasing local appraisals saved from other tabs - #865
Conversation
Every app tab loads the local practice rows once and persisted its whole in-memory copy on each local edit and on pagehide. A tab opened days ago therefore overwrote everything other tabs had saved since, the moment it made an edit, reloaded or closed. The pool now records the rows each local mutation wrote and merges only those into the stored copy inside one Dexie transaction, so a tab with nothing unsaved writes nothing when it closes.

Navigate logical layers of code changes, visualize relationships, and explore their blast radius. 📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughLocal-practice persistence now records rows changed by each mutation and merges those rows into stored tables in a Dexie transaction. Writes are serialized, and failed writes restore dirty row IDs. Tests cover stale-tab creations, edits, deletions, and repeated updates. The guide describes row-level persistence.

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Pending local edits can lose their retry path if a storage write fails while a tab closes. Preserve those edits for a later retry before merging. Security Architecture ReviewSecurity architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The row-level merge protects appraisals saved by other tabs, but a failed save during project teardown can leave recent local changes without a retry. The identified exposure is local data loss, not expanded access to other users’ data. Retained concerns

Preserve pending local writes after teardown retry failure.
When the last ProjectGate unmount releases the entry, destroyEntry starts persistLocalDirty without awaiting it and immediately deletes the entry from registry. If the transaction fails, persistLocalDirty restores the IDs to entry.localDirty, but no registry entry remains to schedule a later retry. This can lose pending local changes after a storage error.
Keep the entry owned until the retry settles, or transfer the pending IDs to a persistent retry owner. The correction must perform only this bounded teardown retry and must not create an indefinite retry loop.

What
A user lost the local appraisals she made on Sept 27 while three older ones survived. Local practice rows were persisted as a whole-copy snapshot from each tab's in-memory collections, and every app tab holds its own copy:
AppLayoutloads the local rows once for the tab's lifetime and never re-reads them. So a tab opened before Sept 27, when it made any local edit or fired thepagehideflush (close, reload, navigate away), wrote its old list over everything other tabs had saved since.Production logs (Loki,
client.local_appraisal.*) are consistent: on Sept 27 she created two RoB 2 local appraisals and completed three, and those are the ones that went missing. The logs can't show which tab each event came from.The fix
localTxtakes anonWritecallback, andapplyLocalMutationcollects the(table, id)pairs each mutation wrote and hands them toscheduleLocalPersist. It does this in afinally, because local writes aren't rolled back when a mutator throws partway.localDirtyper entry and merges only them into the storedlocalProjectsrow inside one Dexierwtransaction: read the stored copy, upsert or delete the dirty ids from the live collections, write it back. A tab with nothing dirty writes nothing, so thepagehideflush from a stale tab is a no-op.localPersist), and rows written while it runs fold into the next pass. A failed write puts its ids back inlocalDirtyso the next mutation retries them.snapshotLocalCollectionsis removed (its only caller was the whole-copy write).packages/docs/guides/yjs-sync.mddescribes the merge.Not in this PR
A stale tab still shows its old list until reloaded; it just can't erase anything now. Refreshing other tabs when one saves (Dexie
liveQueryor aBroadcastChannel) would be a follow-up. A stale tab editing an appraisal that another tab deleted will write that appraisal's edited rows back, which is ordinary last-writer-wins per row.Checks
New
src/project/__tests__/localPersistTabs.test.tsopens several "tabs" (fresh module graphs, each with its own pool and Dexie connection over one fake IndexedDB):The first three fail on
main(the stale tab's copy wins) and pass here.pnpm --filter web buildandtypecheckare clean,oxlintand prettier are clean on the changed files, and the web unit suite passes (71 files, 697 tests).Not exercised in a real browser: the e2e suite needs a running dev server. Worth a two-tab check on staging after merge: open the dashboard in tab A, create a local appraisal in tab B, close A, reload B.
