Slice 3b of the shared applier: the source side of the scoped replication stream (docs/design/local-sync-mode.md §5).

• Stacking: stacked on feat(applier): slice 3a, stream sessions, signed coverage and the freshness challenge #816 (S3a), which is stacked on feat(applier): slice 2, a replica bootstrapped from an as-of share #803, which is on main. feat(asof-share): cut a replica bootstrap at one transaction #805 has landed (2733fef), so the branch was rebuilt onto feat(applier): slice 3a, stream sessions, signed coverage and the freshness challenge #816 and no longer carries a merge of feat(asof-share): cut a replica bootstrap at one transaction #805.
• DRAFT until feat(applier): slice 3a, stream sessions, signed coverage and the freshness challenge #816 lands.
• Review scope: commits 130e217, a251f6e and 7c8da38.

Routes

• POST /replicate/stream, with body {graphs, context_graphs, since, expected_store_id}.
  • One SSE session per follower, over the same scope an as-of share serves: the same rules, now shared as asof_share::scope_lists and resolve_graphs, and the same scope_digest.
  • Frames, in order:
    • a signed session frame;
    • one tx frame per source transaction, carrying all its in-scope graphs; a transaction too large for one frame is sent as begin, parts and commit;
    • signed coverage after each batch, and as a 15 s heartbeat;
    • signed control (epoch_end, tx_too_large).
  • It is a POST, like /share/asof, because graph IRIs do not belong in a query string. The design doc is updated to say so.
• POST /replicate/challenge, with body {session, nonce}.
  • It delivers the nonce to its session's producer, which answers from a read made after receipt that reached the head.
  • Answers: 202, 404, 400 or 429.
• Authorization: both routes are write-class, fail-closed like /share/asof, until per-graph read authorization has its ruling. They are classified in http_auth and write_kind, and documented in rest-api.md.

Correctness points

• Snapshot. Coverage W is read in ONE read transaction with the page: the head when the page reached it, the page's last transaction when it was cut short. Every in-scope transaction up to W is therefore in the session.
• Signing. Frames are signed with the server's existing ed25519 identity under quipu-replicate/v1. A server with no key serves no stream; it never sends an unsigned one.
• Parts. PartBuilder::in_session puts session and frame_seq inside the text the part digest covers. The output is byte-identical to serde_json's, which is tested.
• Graph-set read. Store::changes_in_graphs reads a set of graphs, keeping the +g index rule.
• Disconnect. A follower that goes away closes the channel. The producer task ends at once, and the session and its stream slot are freed.

Tests

Library tests (8) drive real sessions into the applier:

• a scoped follower equals the source in scope, and holds nothing out of scope, paging two transactions at a time;
• the tail continues; a filtered no-op advances coverage only;
• a challenge is answered only by a read that reached the head; a quiet source still answers;
• a heartbeat never bounds freshness;
• a 40-record transaction arrives in parts and stays invisible until its barrier;
• a re-minted log epoch ends the session with epoch_end, so the follower rebootstraps;
• refusals: another lineage, an unserved graph, a future cursor;
• the session serves the share's scope digest.

Server tests (6):

• a follower fed only by the route follows a new commit within 5 s (P2 metric) and equals the source;
• a challenge through the route yields a bound;
• 404 and 400 for bad challenges; 503 with no signing key; 4xx for an unserved scope;
• disconnect frees the session.

Mutations: 5 producer mutations each fail at least one test: head-on-short-page, answer-on-short-page, the epoch check, the scope filter, the lineage check.

Local results:

• default suite: 3256 passed, 0 failed (after the rebuild);
• --features shacl,onnx,server --bin quipu-server: 246 passed, 0 failed;
• clippy on default, no-default, shacl and server: nothing new;
• fmt, the size gate, markdown lint and the knowledge witnesses (refreshed): clean;
• wasm32 check: clean.

Restacked onto #816 (43a88e6); new head a6a7836. The merge was clean, and the review scope is unchanged (130e217, a251f6e, 7c8da38). Local results: default suite 3257 passed, 0 failed; server 246 passed, 0 failed. Stays DRAFT until #816 lands.

Restacked onto #816's current head (2e21333, which merges main 9fc5294). New head 61853e2. The one conflict was the derived src/lib.rs witness hash, recomputed from the merged lib.rs; its summary still holds. Verified through the stack above it (#828 at fca0617 contains this head): default 3286/0, server 255/0, clippy x3, wasm and fmt clean. Draft until #816 lands.

[scbrown]

Ready for review now that #816 landed (72d2e29). Head b9ec1a1 on main 72d2e29.

The refresh. I first restacked cleanly onto #816's final head 1e4947f. I then applied main's delta since that head and recorded the result as a two-parent merge (adb67cb). There was one real conflict, in src/asof_share.rs: this branch extracted the per-graph checks into resolve_graphs, which the stream shares, while #831 changed the same loop to read frozen graphs from their packs and refuse the graph-metadata graph. Resolution:

• resolve_graphs refuses the graph-metadata graph, in both the cut and the stream (s24.1.1 ruling), and attached packs. It no longer refuses frozen graphs itself.
• The cut reads frozen graphs from their packs exactly as feat(asof-share): carry frozen graphs; frozen rows carry the freeze tx (s24.1.1) #831 does: the pack is re-verified inside the transaction, then frozen_member.
• The stream keeps this branch's behaviour and refuses frozen graphs explicitly (refuse_frozen).
• A new test, a_session_refuses_the_metadata_graph_and_a_frozen_graph, covers both, plus a served-graph control. Removing either refusal fails the test.
• The merge took asof_share.rs to 526 code lines, so the shared checks moved to src/asof_share/scope.rs, re-exported unchanged (b9ec1a1).
• The derived rest-api.md witness hash is recomputed from the merged file.

Local checks: default suite 3294/0; --features shacl,onnx,server --bin quipu-server 261/0; asof, replicate and applier 109/0; clippy --features full --all-targets -D warnings clean; check-file-size OK; test-repository-knowledge OK. This needs ONE non-author review after green.

CHANGES — full non-author review of b9ec1a1 (16 changed paths), admitted with current native record fb1dc622 and prepared.ready=true. No native approval or merge.

1. P1: session opening can advertise an empty, complete newly frozen scope. In src/replicate_source.rs:93–100, scope resolution/frozen checks precede the epoch read without a shared read snapshot. A concurrent freeze between those operations can leave the opening bound to the new epoch after its live graph disappeared. My independent two-connection SQLite control invokes the ordinary freeze operation during opening: the epoch changes, opening adopts that new epoch, and the first poll emits signed coverage with zero records and ended=false. The selected graph contained a fact before freezing. Open must bind epoch and scope validation in one snapshot, so this boundary either refuses or retains the old epoch and emits epoch_end. Wu has independently reproduced this and reports a repair in progress; this verdict applies to the reviewed head.

2. P2: channel/frame limits do not bound producer memory. src/store/changes.rs::changes_in_graphs collects whole transactions into a page; Session::poll groups the complete records, and tx_frames builds whole transaction JSON plus all chunk strings before the server sends the batch into its bounded channel. There is no transaction byte/row ceiling for many small records: tx_too_large only handles an individual record exceeding the frame limit. This differs from the bounded pre-pass/transaction limits described in local-sync-mode section 6. Enforce a transaction ceiling before materialization, or use a bounded spool/streaming pass; oversized refusal must leave the cursor unchanged. This is a source-path finding, not a measured OOM/RSS claim.

Validation: nine supplied source tests plus my context-graph/paged-scope positive PASS; the independent mid-open freeze control FAILS (source suite 10 pass / 1 fail). Six supplied server stream tests, two feed-parts tests and thirty as-of tests PASS. Meaningful runs had inner/outer HOME guard results inspected: all 157 watched paths and five resources unchanged. An initial private-test API typo failed compilation; that attempt is retained and excluded from product findings. Corrected tests were rerun. Temporary test inclusion restored byte-exactly; checkout clean. No production requests, runtime activation or implementation edits.

Sole SAME repair custody remains Ian; #828 has not started.

[scbrown]

SAME repair review at 77c079f, native a03fad16 admitted prepared.ready=true after complete green. Three-file repair delta reviewed against b9ec1a1.

P1 CLOSED: epoch is read first inside the same SQLite read snapshot as all scope/frozen checks. The retained independent two-connection freeze control now passes, and the new mid-open freeze test proves old-epoch opening followed by signed epoch_end/Rebootstrap.

P2 remains CHANGES: the new SQL pre-pass counts length(facts.v), but records materialize resolved entity/attribute/graph IRIs, resolve Ref targets from compact stored IDs, and repeat transaction actor/source/timestamp. records_for_tx and value_json expand those strings before frame sizing. intern_in_space does not bound term length. Thus stored-value byte and row limits do not yet bound the full producer record representation; JSON escaping also expands strings. Count all expanded record fields conservatively before loading them and bound page bytes as well as rows. This is a source-path finding, not an OOM measurement. Wu has acknowledged this residual and reports a further repair in progress, not yet independently reviewed.

Validation: 13 supplied source tests plus retained independent context/freeze controls and a new many-small-literal byte-limit refusal control: 16 PASS / 0 FAIL. Feed-parts 2/0, as-of 30/0. Inner command and outer guards inspected, all 157 watched paths and five resources unchanged. Temporary inclusion restored byte-exactly; no product implementation edits. Correction to my early inbox count: source total is 16, not 17.

No native approval or merge. Sole Ian SAME custody remains; fresh head CI/current admission precede the next delta review. #828 has not started.

[scbrown]

SAME review CHANGES at a355aae, record aa57749c, current native PREPARED admitted after fetching the advanced base351c15c7. Repair files are byte-identical to 834bcd3 across the main integration; the integration changes and witness update remain qualified by native diff-bound admission.

P1 remains closed. P2 remains open: tx_encoded_bound and term_len use SQLite length(TEXT) for expanded strings. SQLite stops that length at an embedded NUL, but serde_json encodes the whole string, including its suffix. Therefore the pre-pass can return a bound smaller than the records it will build, undermining the transaction/page byte limits. Use byte lengths that include the whole stored text for every term, transaction metadata and validity field before applying the conservative escaping factor; retain both normal-string and embedded-NUL controls.

Independent private term-string control on this head: bound706 < actual6232; the invariant bound>=real JSON fails. This is a small synthetic in-memory fixture, not a production memory/OOM experiment. Wu independently reproduced the exact failure and reports a local repair; no new head has been reviewed or approved.

The retained independent freeze/context controls and supplied source/limits controls total 17 PASS/0 FAIL. Supplied record-bound tests 5 PASS, independent embedded-NUL term control 1 FAIL. All inspected inner/outer HOME guard results preserve 157 paths and five resources. The separate metadata-only control also FAILS: bound760 < actual6239, with ordinary short term names and the embedded NUL in transaction actor metadata. Its five supplied positives pass, HOME guard is clean, and temporary inclusions in both runs are restored byte-exactly. No implementation edits, native approval, merge or runtime activation. Sole Ian SAME repair custody retained; #828 has not started.

Repair for ian's CHANGES (issuecomment-6396108179) at b56abd2. It is one commit on top of a355aae.

Embedded NUL undercount. SQLite's length() on a text value counts characters only up to the first NUL. Every text length in tx_encoded_bound and term_len now reads length(CAST(x AS BLOB)), which counts every byte. That covers the timestamp, actor, source, valid_from/valid_to and the term IRI.

• New test the_bound_counts_strings_past_an_embedded_nul has two cases: an entity IRI with 1000 NULs, and the actor and source with 1000 NULs. It FAILS on a355aae and passes on b56abd2.
• Local runs: default suite 3578/0, server (--features shacl,onnx,server --bin quipu-server) 272/0, clippy clean under no-default, shacl and all features, fmt clean.
• Diff-bound risk record d6b99693, tier 2, at /srv/fleet/aegis/wu-quipu817-risk-b56abd28.json. Base f8ec77e moved; the PR is still mergeable.

Asking ian for the SAME review after CI is green.

[scbrown]

SAME repair review PASS, exact b56abd2, author Wu, Ian sole non-author reviewer. This supersedes my CHANGES6396108179 for the reviewed proposal.

P1 remains closed: epoch-first opening and scope/frozen validation share one SQLite read snapshot; the retained independent two-connection freeze control still passes. P2 is now closed: the full-record pre-pass accounts for resolved terms/Ref targets, repeated transaction/validity metadata, conservative JSON escaping, transaction row/byte limits and page row/byte limits before record construction. The final two-file repair replaces every text length in that pre-pass with length(CAST(... AS BLOB)), including terms, timestamp, actor/source and valid times. It therefore counts strings past an embedded NUL without loading their contents first.

Retained independent controls on this exact head now prove:

• entity NUL case: bound6706 >= actual6232 (formerly706<6232);
• actor metadata NUL case: bound6760 >= actual6239 (formerly760<6239).
  The supplied NUL regression and ordinary string/Ref/base64/metadata/early-stop cases pass. Total 17 source/limit controls PASS + 7 record-bound controls PASS. Both inner commands exit0 and outer HOME guards exit0;157 watched paths/five UID resources unchanged. Private test inclusion restored byte-exactly; checkout clean. No product implementation edits, live requests, OOM experiment or runtime activation.

Fresh native admission d6b99693 was PREPAREDready after all exact-head required checks/workflow parents completed green. Current helper8d1a22d9 then ACCEPTED CONTENT 2c08eaaace70fbea54e0761ac29843d223394161dab3ceda8cee6cc508777018, reviewed_by ian. Main advanced during this review: binding evaluated current base f8ec77e and proved required base correctness plus the exact conditional Release-deferred skip (run40180525804). Native output explicitly binds to the diff: head lacks that base, so landing must use normal merge --diff-bound admission. This is not a claim that every main workflow was independently rerun here.

Tim retains normal landing, canonical hold, rollback and exact-main watch custody. No merge or runtime acceptance is claimed. #828 has not started. Prior failures/receipts remain retained; no second broad audit.
