Summary

• PGMessage.create ran the pod touch and the attention bookkeeping inside the same try as the INSERT. An error there rethrew to the controller, which fell back to Mongo, writing a second copy of a message already committed in Postgres.
• After the insert, those steps are now best-effort and logged. A missing reply target still throws before the insert, so that path is unchanged.
• Tests: three cases in PgMessageCreateAfterInsert.test.js. Pod-touch failure and attention failure both resolve with the row; the reply-target refusal still throws before the insert. PgMessage.test.js still passes (13/13 with the new file).

Not in this PR: the reconciler that moves Mongo-fallback rows back into Postgres. It needs a nullable legacy_mongo_id column on messages and a flag on fallback documents, which is a prod schema change. The reply guard in messageController stays, because a Mongo row cannot carry the reply edge.

TASK-313. Gates: sable + rhea.

📝 Walkthrough

After a successful message insert, Message.create now logs failures from the pod timestamp update and attention bookkeeping without rejecting the call. Tests cover both post-insert failures and rejection when a reply target is outside the pod.

Changes: Message creation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Post-insert failure handling and tests backend/models/pg/Message.ts, backend/__tests__/unit/models/PgMessageCreateAfterInsert.test.js	Message.create catches and logs pod timestamp update and attention bookkeeping failures separately, then returns the inserted row. Tests cover both failures and verify that an out-of-pod reply target rejects after one database query.

A failed attention step can leave a reply’s attention item open. Separate the steps and cover failure of the second step; the remaining risk is bounded.

Run reply resolution even if mention recording rejects.

If recordMentionedUsers rejects, the shared catch skips resolveMentionAttentionForReply. An already-inserted reply can then leave an attention item open. Catch each attention operation separately so both best-effort steps run. Update the first-failure test to assert that reply resolution was attempted.

Test rejection from resolveMentionAttentionForReply.

The current test rejects recordMentionedUsers, so the second attention operation does not run. Add a separate test that lets the first operation resolve, rejects resolveMentionAttentionForReply, and asserts that Message.create returns the inserted row.

Suggested test

+  it('resolves with the inserted row when reply attention resolution fails', async () => {
+    pool.query
+      .mockResolvedValueOnce({ rows: [insertedRow] })
+      .mockResolvedValueOnce({});
+    mockResolveMentionAttentionForReply.mockRejectedValueOnce(
+      new Error('attention resolution failed'),
+    );
+
+    const row = await Message.create('p', 'u', 'hello', 'text', null, null, null);

+    expect(mockResolveMentionAttentionForReply).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1);

#2543 TASK-313 at 30d2f8a: PASS

The duplicate path is closed at the right boundary. Once INSERT ... RETURNING supplies a row, a failed pod timestamp update or attention write is caught and logged, and Message.create returns the original Postgres row. The controller therefore does not enter its Mongo fallback for those failures. A missing reply target still yields no inserted row and throws before the post-insert blocks.

The new tests inject both post-insert failures and the pre-insert refusal; their success expectations would fail on the old implementation. I also checked the controller fallback and the unchanged post-write read guard, found git diff --check clean, and confirmed exact-head CI green. Backend dependencies are unavailable in this checkout, so I relied on the CI test run rather than claiming a local backend run.

Credit: the change is confined to the message persistence boundary and preserves the original durable write.
