Summary

Two fixes for the residuals E2 and E3 of ADR 0045.

Both legs of a staged move journal in one atomic write (ADR 0045 D6). A relocation between two interior scopes journals a parking leg and an arriving leg. Before this change, the command journaled them in two enqueue_op calls. When the arriving leg failed, the command removed the parking leg on a best-effort basis. That removal cannot undo a leg that a tick already drained.

  • The StagingStore seam gains enqueue_ops. It queues several entries in one atomic write, or none of them. Each entry has the enqueue_op entry format, so a reader of the queue cannot tell the two apart.
  • Testkit fake: the enqueue budget counts entries, and a set that the budget cannot cover fails whole.
  • Desktop file journal: the store reserves the ids, then writes an empty marker ops/<first>-<last>.batch, then the op files. The removal of the marker is the commit point. While the marker stands, queued_ops does not show the entries of the set. A failed write removes the files that it wrote. open rolls back a set that a crash interrupted.
  • Browser store: one IndexedDB transaction. An add that throws aborts the transaction, so the earlier adds do not commit.
  • The wasm bridge carries enqueueOps. It rejects an answer that does not have one id per entry.
  • stage_legs_and_notify seals both legs, then journals them with enqueue_ops. The best-effort dequeue_op cleanup is gone.
  • The conformance kit gains a batched phase: order, ids, verbatim payloads, durability across reopen, and removal of one entry of a set.

The overlay and the drain stamp the same nodes (ADR 0045 D5). Op::authored_nodes returns the stamped set per op kind. A create stamps the new node and its parent. A rename and a delete stamp the parent. A relink and a move stamp both parents. updateContent stamps the node alone. A restore stamps the folder that it restores into, which is the folder that the drain republishes at authored_at. Prune, purge, restoreVersion and deleteVersion stamp nothing, as before.

  • The overlay stamps that set. It does not stamp a renamed or relinked node now. A content op stamps its size on its target alone.
  • The drain's create, delete, restore and ref-move plans take the modified_at of each republished folder from the same function. The published records do not change, because the set holds every folder that these plans republish.
  • The drain now paints the time of a created folder or an empty file into the base after its publish. Before this change, the view showed the time in the overlay and then lost it at publish.

The blueprint/engine.md "State law" and "Ops" sentences already carry the ADR 0045 wording on main, so this PR changes no blueprint text.

Test plan

  • a_staged_move_whose_arriving_leg_will_not_journal_journals_no_leg (crates/engine/tests/owner_actions.rs): the arriving leg's journal fails and removal fails. No leg is queued. It fails on the previous facade.
  • staging_store_a_set_that_fails_part_way_queues_none_of_it and staging_store_a_set_a_crash_interrupted_is_rolled_back_at_open (crates/desktop-seams/tests/conformance.rs).
  • staging store queues a multi-entry enqueue whole or not at all (packages/client/test/browser, Web Browser Suite): an add that throws on the second entry leaves nothing queued. It fails without the transaction abort.
  • The batched phase of the StagingStore conformance kit runs against the fake, the desktop store and the browser store.
  • an_op_renders_the_times_its_publish_writes (crates/engine/tests/write_plane.rs): for a create, a rename, a relink, a move and a delete, it compares the stamped set in the overlay with the times after the drain publishes. It fails on the previous overlay.
  • each_op_kind_authors_its_own_set_of_nodes and a_content_op_stamps_its_size_on_its_target_alone (crates/engine/src/sync/op.rs).
  • Local gates: cargo fmt --all, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings, cargo test -p cipherbox-engine, cargo test -p cipherbox-fuse, cargo test -p cipherbox-desktop-seams, the workspace test of ci-rust, cargo check -p cipherbox-wasm --target wasm32-unknown-unknown, pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck, pnpm lint:md, pnpm lint:tracker-refs, pnpm --filter @cipherbox/client test and test:browser.

Closes #2014.
Closes #2013.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added atomic batch staging for operations across supported storage backends. A batch is queued in order or not queued at all, and remains consistent after failures or reopening.
    • Improved file timestamp accuracy so changes reflect the nodes authored by each operation, while preserving timestamps for other affected folders.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Prevented partially journaled staged moves when recording the arriving leg fails.

A relocation between two interior scopes journals a parking leg and an arriving leg. The command journaled them in two enqueue_op calls and took the parking leg back on a best-effort basis when the arriving leg failed, which cannot undo a leg a tick already drained. The StagingStore seam gains enqueue_ops, one atomic write for several entries in the enqueue_op entry format, implemented in the testkit fake, the desktop file journal (a batch marker is the commit point, and open rolls back an uncommitted set), the browser IndexedDB store (one transaction) and the wasm bridge. The conformance kit gains a batched phase.
The overlay stamped the renamed or relinked node, which the drain never republishes, and did not stamp the parent folders the drain republishes at authored_at. Op::authored_nodes now returns the stamped set per op kind, as ADR 0045 D5 decides: a create stamps the new node and its parent, a rename and a delete the parent, a relink and a move both parents, and updateContent the node alone. The overlay stamps that set, and the drain's publish plans take each folder's modified_at from the same function, so the published records do not change. The drain also paints a created node's time into the base, so the view does not lose it at publish.

Walkthrough

The staging seam now supports atomic batch enqueueing, and two-leg moves journal both records together. Timestamp stamping now uses a shared authored-node set across the overlay and drain.

Changes

Atomic batch enqueue

Layer / File(s) Summary
Batch enqueue contract and adapters
crates/engine/src/seams/staging_store.rs, crates/engine/src/seams/live.rs, crates/engine/src/testkit/fakes/staging_store.rs, crates/wasm/src/seams_bridge.rs, packages/client/src/seams/types.ts, crates/engine/src/facade.rs
The staging interfaces and adapters add ordered batch enqueueing. Queue generation advances for batch mutations. The test fake handles enqueue budgets per entry.
Atomic batch storage and recovery
crates/desktop-seams/src/staging_store.rs, packages/client/src/seams/stagingStore.ts
The desktop store uses batch markers to exclude incomplete batches from the queue and remove them during recovery. The browser store writes batches in one IndexedDB transaction.
Two-leg journaling and batch validation
crates/engine/src/facade.rs, crates/engine/src/sync/staging.rs, crates/desktop-seams/tests/conformance.rs, crates/engine/src/testkit/conformance/staging_store.rs, crates/engine/tests/owner_actions.rs, packages/client/test/browser/*, decisions/0045-a-queued-op-journals-its-crossing-as-a-plan-and-the-drain-decides.md
The facade seals and enqueues both move legs together. Tests cover batch ordering, persistence, failure recovery, session teardown, and the case where the arriving leg fails to journal.

Authored-node timestamps

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared authored-node set and overlay stamping
crates/engine/src/sync/op.rs, crates/engine/src/sync/overlay.rs, decisions/0045-a-queued-op-journals-its-crossing-as-a-plan-and-the-drain-decides.md
Op::authored_nodes selects authored records by operation kind. The overlay stamps the authored nodes that remain in the rendered view.
Drain timestamp selection and validation
crates/engine/src/sync/drain.rs, crates/engine/tests/write_plane.rs, decisions/0045-a-queued-op-journals-its-crossing-as-a-plan-and-the-drain-decides.md
The drain selects folder timestamps using the authored-node set. Tests cover creates, renames, relinks, moves, deletes, restores, and content writes.

Roll back the op file of a failed batch write too, since its write can land before the directory barrier fails. Test the restore and content stamps, stamp a parent in the metadata stamp test, drop the unused fallback of stamped_modified_at, and edit ADR 0045 in place now that the code meets D5 and D6.
List the ops directory once at open, carry a batch as one id range, and name the counter error after the shared id reservation. Let authored_nodes read the parents only for a kind that stamps them, so the overlay scans no links for a create or a content op. Key the stamp test helpers by set and map, and correct ADR 0045 Consequence 8 now that the code does the work.
…batch whose commit barrier fails

The overlay stamped every parent that links a renamed or moved node, but the drain republishes only the winning parent, so a dual-linked node's other folder jumped back at publish. authored_nodes now reads the parents winner first and keeps the winner for a rename, relink or move, and every parent for a delete. The drain's stamped_modified_at check could not fail, so the drain writes authored_at directly again. The desktop store writes the batch marker again and rolls the set back when the marker's unlink barrier fails.
The create, delete, restore and ref-move plans take the folders that get the op's authored time from Op::authored_nodes, with the same winner-first parents as the overlay, and keep a folder's own time otherwise.
…oval

roll_back_batch now tries to remove every op file of the set and keeps the first error, and removes the marker only when all of them went. The ref-move plan passes its winning source parent to authored_nodes, and the stamp tests assert the exact winning parent.

- Around line 152-171: Update write_batch and roll_back_batch so a durable
recovery marker remains available until every batch operation file has been
removed; do not ignore rollback failures in a way that can leave files visible
after reopening. Serialize rollback with queued_ops using the store’s shared
operation lock so readers cannot observe a partially rolled-back batch.

Once the marker unlink lands, the live directory shows the whole set, and a crash before the directory barrier can only bring the marker back, which open rolls back whole. So a failed barrier after the unlink no longer rolls the set back and reports a failure for a set that is queued. A failed unlink still rolls the set back and returns the error.
