fix(store): acquire write lock on begin to eliminate SQLITE_BUSY_SNAPSHOT - #1243
Conversation
…SHOT (Gentleman-Programming#1182) Under concurrent subagent workloads performing read-before-write operations, modernc.org/sqlite defaults to BEGIN DEFERRED, causing stale WAL snapshots that abort immediately with SQLITE_BUSY_SNAPSHOT (code 517) and bypass busy_timeout(5000). Adding _txlock=immediate in storeDSN() forces BEGIN IMMEDIATE on transaction starts, acquiring the write lock eagerly and allowing SQLite's busy_timeout queue to serialize concurrent writes safely. Also updates the write retry test hook to observe lock failures on beginTx, and adds regression tests covering raw DEFERRED deadlocks vs IMMEDIATE serialization. Closes Gentleman-Programming#1182

- Around line 303-308: Extend the concurrent write test after wg.Wait and errCh
processing to query observations for concurrent-session and assert that exactly
numWriters*writesPerWorker distinct writes were persisted. Keep the existing
concurrent error checks, and include assertions covering the normal expected
count and relevant empty or duplicate-result edge cases using the test’s
existing observation-query helpers.
- Around line 210-229: Make both concurrency tests deterministic by replacing
time.Sleep ordering with explicit synchronization. In
internal/store/concurrency_repro_test.go lines 210-229, signal when txB.Begin()
has been attempted and wait for that signal before releasing txA; in lines
132-150, similarly signal that the second BEGIN IMMEDIATE attempt started while
connA holds the lock, then coordinate release. Preserve the existing transaction
assertions and cleanup.
In `@internal/store/store.go`:
- Around line 907-916: Update RepairObservationMutationTitles,
SupersedeUnenrolledLegacyMutations, and QuarantineIrreparableSyncMutations so
apply=false uses a query-only/read path without Store.withTx or transaction
creation, while apply=true retains the existing mutation transaction flow.
Ensure dry-run and plan scans perform only their SELECT operations and do not
acquire SQLite’s writer reservation.

Root cause: Under default
BEGIN DEFERRED, when multiple concurrent subagent processes read (acquiring SHARED lock) and then attempt to write (promoting to RESERVED), SQLite detects that their read snapshot is stale if another writer committed in between. SQLite aborts the transaction immediately withSQLITE_BUSY_SNAPSHOT (code 517), bypassing the configuredbusy_timeout(5000).Adding
_txlock=immediateinstoreDSN()forces SQLite to acquire the RESERVED lock atBEGIN, allowing concurrent transactions to queue cleanly inbusy_timeoutwithout ever encountering snapshot conflicts.Summary by CodeRabbit
