feat(nextly): one counter every instance reads, so a revocation reaches all of them - #1829
Conversation
…es all of them The number that decides whether a cached authorization answer is still current lived in a module variable, so it only ever moved in the process that handled the change. A second instance neither saw the move nor had one of its own, and kept serving what it had until the entry aged out — on the shared tier, for the whole cache lifetime. Every gate asking `resolvedUnderCurrentRevision` was therefore asking about this process rather than about the install. It is a one-row table now, read at most once a second per instance and bumped by a statement the database evaluates itself, so two instances invalidating at the same moment produce two increments rather than one lost update. Cross-instance revocation lands within that second; the instance that made the change applies it immediately, without waiting out its own interval. Gating the WRITE was not enough and that was the half missing from the sketch. An entry filed under the current epoch is correct when written; what retires it is the epoch moving afterwards, which is exactly what a change on another instance does — nothing local clears it. Both in-memory tiers now carry the epoch they were filed under and one predicate decides whether either may be served. A new TABLE rather than a column on the cached rows, and that was decided by what can actually be delivered: `ensureCoreTables` reconciles an existing database by re-running idempotent `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` statements, and says in as many words that it does not repair a table whose columns drifted. A column would have looked right in every test and reached no existing install. Two behaviour changes, both deliberate and both in the changeset: an invalidation naming one user retires every in-memory answer, because a shared counter cannot carry whose change it was; and a batch no longer holds back the in-memory tiers, which it never existed to do — the unfiltered rewrite of every stored row is what it defers, and still does. An install that has not reconciled its core tables degrades to the previous in-memory behaviour rather than failing the check that asked, and says so once.

…nted here Four of the six findings on this change are one flaw wearing four costumes: the local counter could advance without the shared row, and two counters that both advance diverge. The local one then wins every comparison, so an instance that invalidated while the row was unreachable stayed permanently ahead and stopped noticing anybody else's changes. So nothing is invented here any more. The only values this process answers with are ones the row gave it. An invalidation it cannot persist is recorded as owed rather than applied, and while anything is owed the process serves NOTHING from cache: an epoch other instances have never seen cannot decide whether an answer is current, and the honest response to that is to recompute. On recovery the backlog reaches the row before the caches are trusted again. The post-write verification now forces a read rather than accepting the throttled one. That window is the write's own flight time, so a revocation inside it is newer than the last read by definition — asking the cached value there accepts exactly the write the check exists to catch. Ten invalidations in the role, inheritance and user-role services were fire-and-forget. A runtime that freezes after responding could abandon the shared write, leaving every other instance on the old epoch. They are awaited. Two more, both found by the tests rather than by reading: The write asked the driver how many rows an UPDATE touched and inserted when the answer was zero. That is three result shapes across three drivers and a silent no-op whenever one is misread: the counter stuck at its first value and every later invalidation was lost, while each individual statement succeeded. It is one upsert now, and there is no row count to read. A number alone cannot tell "the same counter, unchanged" from "a different counter that reads the same" — which is what a restored backup or a re-provisioned environment produces, and what a per-test database produced here. The row carries a generation created with it, and the comparison is on the pair. Adding that column costs nothing today because the table has not shipped; adding it later could not have reached an existing install at all. Concurrent refreshes now share one read, and a failing read is rate-limited like a successful one — an install without the table was otherwise issuing a failing query per authorization check rather than one per interval.

Honor untrustworthy epochs in the API-key cache
When the epoch table is missing or temporarily unreachable and a role's permissions change successfully, bumpEpoch() leaves pendingBumps > 0 without changing the epoch string, while refreshEpoch() degrades to that same string. This condition therefore continues returning a role-based key's stale grants for up to five minutes even though epochIsTrustworthy() explicitly says no cache is safe; use the same trust predicate as the permission caches rather than computing API-key cache validity separately.

…m inside a caller's transaction Four ways the shared counter could still mislead, the two tests that would not have noticed, and a debug print that should never have shipped. A check given a transaction executor no longer refreshes the epoch. The refresh is a pooled query, so issuing it from inside the caller's still-open transaction asks the pool for a second connection — and where the pool holds one, the caller's transaction is holding it, so the query never runs and the check never answers. It bought nothing either way: an executor-backed check is not cacheable at any tier, so the value was never consulted. `isSuperAdmin` had the same unconditional refresh. Invalidation now empties the stored tier and only then publishes the new epoch. The epoch is the only signal another instance receives, and it is a one-way barrier: an answer filed before it moves is retired by the move, an answer filed after it is not. Publishing first let another instance reject its own in-memory answer, fall through to the stored row the tombstone had not reached yet, and file that retired decision under the NEW epoch, where nothing still to happen could reach it, for the in-memory tier's full life. Emptying the rows first closes it from both sides. `flushPermissionCaches` and the scoped `invalidatePermissionCache` had the same ordering and now share one helper that states the invariant once. A sweep's early announcement stays, and now says why it is exempt: the batch exit empties the tier and announces again. A forced refresh no longer joins a read already in flight. That read may have queried before the write being verified, which is the one thing forcing exists to rule out. `bumpEpoch` is now exactly that forced refresh, because pushing the owed count and adopting what the row then says are already the two halves of one read. Two invalidations racing no longer lose one of the two, and by the same change rather than a second mechanism. The drain reads the owed count, sends it and subtracts it around an await, which is sound only while one drain runs at a time; the forced refresh is what now makes that true, so the second bump waits and sends its own increment instead of being folded into a write already in flight. Claiming and resetting the count here as well would be a guard nothing can reach, and it would cost something real: while the count is still owed this process serves nothing from cache, which is the honest state for a write the row has not accepted yet. A `console.log` of raw driver errors is gone from the failed-bump path. It was instrumentation used while diagnosing the counter and was never meant to ship. The sweep test asserted the revision had changed rather than changed per write, so three invalidations collapsing into one announcement on the way out would have passed it. It now reads the stamp after each write and requires them distinct. Two controls added, each with the green that must be able to go red. An executor-backed check must take no pooled connection, proved against a counter that a pooled check then increments. And the stored tier's own retirement reports which epoch it ran under, which is the one fact that tells the two orders apart. `hasPermission`'s two cache tiers are extracted into named lookups, and the four copies of the reverse-index bookkeeping into one `forgetKey`, so the audit reports nothing introduced and one inherited clone group fewer.

@codex review Round 3's six findings are all addressed in 441c434, with a reply on each thread. Two of them turned out to be one mechanism: serializing the drain and starting a fresh read for a forced caller are the same change, and the racing-invalidations case fails on either. Worth a look in particular at the ordering fix. |

…nt without a retirement Round four is seven findings and two flaws. Each flaw had produced more than one of them, which is the argument for fixing the shape rather than the instances. ## "May a cached answer be trusted" had three implementations `servable` asked whether the epoch was trustworthy before comparing the stamp. `resolvedUnderCurrentRevision` and the API key's grant cache compared the stamp and did not. The two that did not look correct beside the one that does, and the difference only shows on an install whose epoch table is not yet reconciled: there the stamp being matched is one this process invented and no other instance has seen, so a revocation keeps answering from cache for the tier's whole life — five minutes for a key's copied grants, and indefinitely for a decision filed while the backlog was owed. `stampIsCurrent` is now the one place that question is answered, and the three tiers derive from it: the in-memory caches add their expiry, the write gate adds its flush depth, the key's grants add their freshness window. A source guard holds it there. No module outside `rbac-epoch.ts` may compare against `currentEpoch()`, checked over the package's whole AST, with a control that finds two comparisons in a fixture and an assertion that the file list is not empty. ## The epoch was announced where the retirement had not happened Two places, and the same sentence is false in both. The epoch means "everything filed before this is gone", and announcing it when the stored rows are still live is worse than silence rather than merely unhelpful: every other instance rejects its own in-memory answer BECAUSE the epoch moved, falls through to a row that is still there, and files it under the new epoch where nothing left to happen can reach it. The announcement is what converts rows that would have aged out into copies with a fresh life. **A tombstone that failed.** `invalidateAll`, `invalidateByUser` and `invalidateByRole` caught their own database errors and returned `0` — which is also what a successful tombstone over an empty table returns, so the caller could not tell them apart and published either way. They raise now, and the publication is withheld on failure. The failure is still reported and the write that raised it still succeeds; what is withheld is only the claim. **A sweep.** It published per write with the stored rows deliberately still live, and the exit flush retired them afterwards — so the window was the batch's whole length, which for a seeder is not bounded by anything this module controls. The batch now announces nothing until its exit, after the retirement, and holds the flush depth from its first write so nothing can be filed as current while it is open. The tiers held in memory are still emptied per write: they cost nothing to empty, so an answer this process already holds does not outlive the row it came from. ## The rest The API key's grant cache read `Date.now()` before awaiting the epoch refresh, so an entry that expired while that refresh waited passed its freshness window one more time. Read after the await now. `RBAC_EPOCH_TABLE` was documented as the single spelling of the table name and was read by nothing: the three dialect declarations, the SQLite bootstrap DDL and the core-table manifest each spelled it independently. A rename could then move what reconciliation creates while leaving the runtime queries pointed at the old name, which is two tables and no error — every cache in the install answering from a counter nothing bumps. It lives in a dependency-leaf module now and all five read it, held there by a guard with its own control. Two comments still described the role service's invalidations as fire-and-forget after they were made awaited. The awaited ordering is what the change relies on, so a comment saying otherwise invites putting the `void` back.
…d-in for it The cases proving the epoch is withheld when the stored tier cannot be retired replace `invalidateAll` with a rejection. That exercises the caller and says nothing about the method the finding was about: restoring its old catch-and-return-zero left every one of them green, measured. So the real method is asked, over an adapter whose write fails, with a control that it answers a count when the write succeeds — otherwise "rejects on failure" is satisfied by a method that rejects on everything.

@codex review Round four's seven findings were two flaws, and both are fixed at the shape rather than per instance. "May a cached answer be trusted" had three implementations. The epoch was announced where the retirement had not happened — inside a sweep, and after a tombstone that returned Two things worth your attention. The sweep no longer announces per write at all, which trades the immediate cross-instance signal for not telling other instances to read rows the batch has deliberately not tombstoned; local memory is still emptied per write, so nothing here serves a stale answer.

Closes the two findings left open on #1794 as accepted limits.
What was wrong
The number deciding whether a cached authorization answer is still current was a
module variable. It moved only in the process that handled the change, so a
second instance neither saw the move nor had one of its own, and kept serving
what it had cached until the entry aged out. Every gate asking
resolvedUnderCurrentRevisionwas therefore asking about one process ratherthan about the install.
Two shapes of that, both reported on #1794:
elsewhere;
after another had tombstoned it, with a fresh expiry every instance then
reads.
The design, and the two things that changed it
One row in
nextly_rbac_epoch, read at most once a second per instance andincremented by a statement the database evaluates itself — so two instances
invalidating at the same moment produce two increments rather than one lost
update. Cross-instance revocation lands within that second; the instance that
MADE the change applies it immediately rather than waiting out its own interval.
A table, not a column on the cached rows. The first sketch stamped each
cached row with the epoch it was written under.
ensureCoreTablesreconciles anexisting database by re-running idempotent
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTSstatements, and states that it does NOT repair a table whose columns drifted —
so a new column would have passed every test here and reached no existing
installation. A separate table is the shape that can actually be delivered to
the databases this protects.
Gating the write was not enough. An entry filed under the current epoch is
correct when written; what retires it is the epoch moving AFTERWARDS, which is
exactly what a change on another instance does — nothing local clears it. Both
in-memory tiers now carry the epoch they were filed under, and one predicate
decides whether either may be served. This was found by the integration test
failing, not by reading the code.
Two behaviour changes, deliberate
An invalidation naming one user retires every in-memory answer. The counter
other instances read carries a number and not a user id, so a change they can
see cannot be narrower than "something in RBAC moved"; keeping the scope locally
would mean only the instance that made the change applied it narrowly. Refilling
is a couple of indexed queries and role changes are rare. The test that encoded
the old scoping is rewritten to assert this with the reason, not deleted.
A batch no longer holds back the in-memory tiers. It never existed to: the
unfiltered rewrite of every stored row is what it defers, and still does. That
control is re-expressed on the cost that remains — a row placed in the cache
table directly, which must survive the batch and be rewritten on exit.
Upgrade path
An install that has not reconciled its core tables has no row to read. Every
read and write degrades to the previous in-memory behaviour rather than failing
the authorization check that asked, and reports once so an operator can see why
cross-instance invalidation is not yet in effect. The degraded state is exactly
what the install had before, so it cannot be worse than not upgrading.
Evidence
convention and
fallow:auditall green, zero introduced findings.making a failed read throw instead of degrading; and dropping the epoch from
the SERVE predicate, which kills exactly the two cross-instance cases.
table reached the push bundle but not
CORE_TABLE_NAMES, so the live snapshotwould not have known to introspect it.
The cost, stated plainly
One small indexed read per second per instance, and revocation propagating in
about a second rather than immediately within a single process. That is the
trade this was chosen for; it is not free and the number is not hidden.
