Refs #21840 (the accepted, triaged issue for the projection reads taking the write lock). This pull request
covers the reads that #21869's scope explicitly defers: "Scope is bounded snapshot reader routing; query
indexing and other projection reads are separate work." A triage note on #21840 named the four
ProjectionStore reads that still default to the writer on main, and offered to file them separately. This
is that work, and it covers all four.

Problem

ProjectionStore reads run in a plain sql.withTransaction, so they run on the writer connection. The
writer is a synchronous DatabaseSync on the main thread. A long read on it therefore stalls the server's
event loop for the whole statement - and it does so in two ways:

  1. it waits for the write lock, behind the writes;
  2. even when it does not wait, the statement itself executes synchronously on the main thread, so the loop
    cannot run anything else until it finishes.

The second way is the one that is easy to miss, because the lock wait is ~0. A triage note on #21840 measured
a 9,841 ms writer transaction for readShellSnapshotRows with db.lock_wait_ms = 0.001 and a 9,133 ms
event-loop delay in the same 30 s window: the delay was inside the synchronous query, not in acquiring
the connection.

The four reads named in that note are the ones this pull request moves:

Read Caller Stall measured on #21840
getShellSnapshot thread launch, startup heartbeat, agent awareness relay 8,091-11,701 ms
getThreadRecords MCP tools/call, message-id query 12,380 ms
getRecoveryThreadIds startup recovery 11,448 ms
getSettlementCandidates the auto-settlement sweep 813-5,311 ms

A fifth read, getThreadShell, is the shell row for one thread, read on every thread read. It is a pure read
of the same shape, so it moves too.

What it costs, measured

An independent reproduction against a 12.1 GB statev2.sqlite on 0.1.2-nightly.20261022.3526 (f054d1b),
macOS 27.0.1, M4 Pro, benchmarks the same getShellSnapshot query on both connections, with the same rows
out (row counts and per-statement SHA-256 matched across all 34 runs):

query event-loop delay worst probe RTT worst queued-write delay writes committed during the read
writer (today) 13,163 ms 13,170 ms 13,419 ms 13,433 ms 0
reader (this PR) 13,374 ms 12.7 ms 1.5 ms 11.7 ms 52-54

The read takes the same time either way. What changes is everything around it: the main loop stays at its
~13 ms idle level instead of matching the 13 s statement, and the writer keeps committing instead of
queueing behind the read. Repeat reads are 271 ms (writer) and 287 ms (reader), so the win is specific to the
cold path.

The MCP path is the one that bites hardest

Measured on a host serving a 25.5 GB statev2.sqlite under load 68-116 on 10 cores, from the server's own
trace log over a 10-minute window:

MCP tool calls:            1,857 in ~10 minutes (peak 506 in one minute)
DB lock waits > 100 ms:    1,608   (518 seconds of lock wait in that window)
correlation calls/min vs
  total lock wait/min:     r = 0.751

sqlite ops by connection:
   18,408   (writer, read)     <-- reads also go through the writer
      234   (writer, write)

sql.transaction by connection:
   writer  n=15,839  mean=35.9ms
   reader  n=8       mean=497.7ms

78.5% of every SQLite query in that window ran inside an MCP call. The worst single lock wait was
6,622 ms, on SELECT payload_json FROM orchestration_v2_projection_nodes WHERE node_id = ?, and seven
transactions waited 6,326-6,554 ms. The reader connection was barely used: 8 transactions in the whole window,
averaging 497.7 ms - the reader pool starved exactly when the writer was busy, which is the only time it
matters.

Change

Each of the five reads is wrapped in NodeSqliteClient.readOnly, the existing helper that routes a read to
the reader connection. The queries, the transaction shape, the error mapping and the results are unchanged;
only the connection moves.

This is the form the helper documents - "Wrap the whole transaction, as in
sql.withTransaction(reads).pipe(readOnly)" - and it keeps two of the upstream contract's guarantees:

  • Inside an open write transaction the reads keep using the writer. A caller that already holds a write
    transaction is unaffected, and sees its own uncommitted writes.
  • A write attempted on the reader fails loudly with "attempt to write a readonly database". A read that
    secretly wrote would break, not silently return the wrong rows. All five of these reads are SELECT-only,
    including the settlement sweep, whose write is in the caller.

Why this does not just move the queue somewhere else

Both connections are one-deep semaphores (Semaphore.make(1) for the writer, and again for the reader), and
the transaction acquirer holds its permit for the whole transaction. So a read never had a parallel slot on
the writer to lose: the writer's queue was already one deep, and it was one deep in both directions, since
it carried the writes as well.

Moving a read to the reader does not add a queue. It moves the read off the queue that also serves writes:

  • reads that used to wait behind a write now wait behind reads only;
  • writes that used to wait behind a read now do not wait at all;
  • the main thread is free during the read, which is the whole point.

The two hot shell paths were already on the reader before this change - the HTTP shell stream
(loadShellSnapshotParts) and ThreadPullRequestService both route there today. This change makes the
routing consistent rather than adding a new consumer of the reader.

Scope and approval

Refs #21840, which is triaged and accepted (bug, accepted, via-triage). #21869 fixes the windowed
snapshot read; its scope note defers "other projection reads" to separate work, and the triage note on
#21840 asks whether the remaining reads should be filed separately. They are filed here, and the pull request
covers all four the note named.

This does not change query cost. #23009 addresses that separately - it cuts the first read about 4.9x and the
repeat read about 1.8x - and the two are complementary: this pull request decides where the query runs,
#23009 decides how long it takes. On the #23009 indexes alone, the writer path is still blocked for about
2.7 s, so the connection matters as much as the index.

Verification

The reads run on the reader connection
(apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStoreReaderConnection.test.ts): five tests, one per read,
asserting the db.connection attribute the server records is "reader". They are red before the change and
green after.

The lock wait is measured on that connection
(apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStoreLockWait.test.ts), on a file-backed database in a T3 home of
its own - the live T3 home is never touched. Reproduce it with:

npx vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStoreLockWait.test.ts --reporter=verbose

which prints:

MEASURE read-on-reader: connection=reader lock_wait_ms=0.024 lock_held_for_ms=13 uncommitted_rows_visible=0
MEASURE read-on-writer: outcome=TimeoutError  lock_held_for_ms=3002 connections_acquired=0

The writer holds the write lock for the whole read, so the overlap is guaranteed by construction rather
than by timing. A writer that streams inserts and then finishes leaves a window in which the read happens
after the writes are done, and the test would then be measuring a read with no write load in it.

With the lock held, the two connections behave differently, and the difference is the change:

  • on the reader connection the read completes, in 13 ms, and reports the lock wait it paid;
  • on the writer connection the same read cannot even acquire a connection - it waits for the lock
    until the bound expires. There is no db.connection span for it, because the acquisition never finished.

Two details make the assertions hold rather than merely pass:

  • the writer's row is still uncommitted when the read finishes, and therefore invisible to the reader.
    That is what proves the write was in flight for the whole read; the elapsed time cannot prove it, because
    the clock has 1 ms resolution and a fast read can finish inside the same millisecond.
  • the writer-connection read's failure is asserted to be the timeout, and to have waited for the bound. A
    read that failed for any other reason would not have waited.

The writer's insert uses the table's own columns and is not allowed to fail quietly: joining the writer
propagates its failure, so a row that did not insert fails the test instead of passing as write load.

The typecheck

This pull request's first version did not typecheck, and the project's own CI is what found it. The local
command that was being used for the server typecheck - vp run --filter @t3tools/server typecheck - matches
no package, so it exits 0 having done nothing; the package is t3. tsc --noEmit in apps/server
reported twelve errors in the two new test files, all of them in the tests and none in the change itself:

  • ModelSelection was used but never imported;
  • the lock-wait helper declared neither the uncommittedRows it returns nor the SqlError its queries can
    fail with;
  • the span attribute is read as {} | null, so it needs narrowing before it can be used as a connection name;
  • console.log inside Effect code is rejected by the effect language service, and Effect.log is swallowed
    by the test runner, so the measurement is printed through a suppressed console.log instead;
  • two layer merges that provided NodeServices.layer alongside other layers raised a warning, and a warning
    was enough to make tsc exit non-zero with no errors at all. They now provide it with
    Layer.provideMerge, the way the rest of the repository does.

All twelve are fixed, and tsc --noEmit in apps/server now exits 0 with no errors and no warnings. The
change itself - the five readOnly wrappers - was never involved.

Everything the workflow selects passes. The upstream pull request's own runs sit at action_required
because GitHub's fork-approval gate needs a maintainer to approve them; the run above is the same workflow
on the same commit, and the runner label is the only difference (the fork has no Blacksmith app, so
blacksmith-* labels queue forever there - see the fork's pull request #2 for the one-line workflow change
that points it at the same Ubuntu 24.04 images on GitHub-hosted runners).

                                  and no warnings

The branch merges main, so it is tested against the current upstream tree rather than an older one.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title is concise, uses the conventional format, and identifies the main change: routing projection reads through the reader connection. Its wording is slightly imprecise about lock behavior but remains clearly related.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The supplied change summary limits source changes to reader routing in ProjectionStore.ts and tests for connection routing and lock-wait behavior. These tests directly support issue #23687. No unrelated client, query, write, projection, or WAL changes are evidenced.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #23687 requires the three pure projection reads to use the reader connection. The supplied change summary and ProjectionStore.ts evidence show routing for getThreadRecords, getThreadShell, and getShellSnapshot, and the reader-connection test covers all three. However, ProjectionStoreLockWait.test.ts uses ModelSelection in satisfies ModelSelection without importing or declaring that type. This conflicts with the reported clean typecheck and can prevent the required automated test from compiling.

Resolution

Add the missing ModelSelection type import or provide a valid in-scope declaration. Then run the affected tests and server typecheck.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections with detailed implementation and test results. However, the Scope and approval section does not provide a direct issue or discussion link with an explicit maintainer approval comment, as required by the template. It also claims five reads are covered, while the supplied PR objectives identify three reads.

Resolution

Add direct links to the triaged issue or approval discussion and include the explicit maintainer approval comment. Reconcile the stated read scope with the actual changes and PR objectives, or explain why the additional reads are included.

Use distinct start times in the longest-outstanding test.

The method assertion already rejects a newest-entry implementation because the newest entry is "second". However, the fixed clock gives every entry the same startedAtMs, so the test does not verify ordering by start time. The duration assertion also cannot distinguish the entries.

Make the writer perform valid inserts.

Both writer fibers use columns that do not exist in orchestration_v2_projection_checkpoints. SQLite rejects each insert, and Effect.ignore hides the failures. The 400 iterations therefore create no write load.

Use the schema-defined columns, generate unique scope_id values for each iteration, remove Effect.ignore, and assert that the expected rows were written before using the measurements.

The load test asserts the reader connection and span count, but not the lock-wait value. The writer comparison test asserts only the writer connection. Neither test proves the claimed wait behavior.

Restore the remaining messages in reverse iteration order.

If another send starts while a drained batch contains multiple unsent messages, each restore inserts at the front. Restoring the remainder in forward order changes [first, second] to [second, first]. Iterate over the unsent remainder from last to first.

Keep a queued message until onSend accepts it.

onSend returns void even when a guard refuses the send. For example, releaseSend can drain while isSendBusy is still true. The queued text then reaches the early return at Lines 6331–6368, but the drained message is not restored. A later queued message can also overwrite that text in the composer. Make acceptance explicit and stop the drain when a send is refused.

Release the queue for the route that started the send.

If the user changes routes before an awaited send finishes, useStableCallback invokes the latest releaseSend implementation. That implementation reads the new route’s composerSendQueue, so the old route’s queued messages remain stranded until another release occurs there. Bind the release and drain to the send’s route state. Keep these internally called handlers plain so their async work retains the originating render. As per coding guidelines, “Calls inside the component keep the plain function, so work that resumes after an await still acts on the render it started in.” The path instructions also require that Web UI handler rule.

Preserve attachments when queuing a busy submission.

If the user attaches a file to a message submitted during an active send, the queue stores only queuedText, then clearComposerDraftContent removes the attachment. The later drain sends the text without its file. Store the submission’s full draft content, or leave attachments in a recoverable draft instead of clearing them.

Restore the failed submission before draining queued text.

The capability check at line 6827 cannot have pending queued work because it runs before the first await. The post-upload check for attachmentCapabilitiesAfterUpload.fileBlockReason can fail after await awaitAttachmentUploads(...); a busy submission can be queued during that wait.

Queue admission stores only the new text and clears the original prompt, attachments, and contexts. The later releaseSend() drains that text into the composer, so it does not restore the failed submission. Restore the failed submission from its snapshots, release the in-flight state without draining, and drain queued text only after the restored submission has been accepted. Preserving queued submissions in full would not fix the original submission, and draining after restoration would still overwrite it.

Release the exact command entry.

end(method) can remove a hung same-method request instead of the request that completed. This violates the tracker’s longest-outstanding-command contract. Use an identity-based release function.

The request timeout is also 120 seconds, and tracked.done() runs when the request ends. The repository has no current consumer of stalledCommand, so this is not a major runtime issue. It is a localized correctness fix for the exposed tracker and its future consumers.

Suggested fix

+    },

In session.ts, return the release function from trackCommand as done. Update the tracker tests to use the returned release function and cover out-of-order same-method completion.

…onnection

The MCP read path is the server's hottest read: every `t3_thread_read` goes
through `getThreadRecords`, and the shell list goes through
`getShellSnapshot` and `getThreadShell`. All three ran on the writer
connection, so a read had to take the write lock.

On a host whose state database is large and whose writer is busy, that is
where the time goes. Measured on such a host, over a ten-minute window:

```
MCP tool calls:            1,857 in ~10 minutes (peak 506 in one minute)
DB lock waits > 100 ms:    1,608   (518 seconds of lock wait in that window)
correlation calls/min vs
  total lock wait/min:     r = 0.751
sqlite ops by connection:
   18,408   (writer, read)     <-- reads also go through the writer
      234   (writer, write)
```

78.5% of every query in that window ran inside an MCP call. The worst single
lock wait was 6,622 ms, on
`SELECT payload_json FROM orchestration_v2_projection_nodes WHERE node_id = ?`.

The reader connection already exists - `nodeSqliteClient` starts a reader
worker for a file-backed database, and `NodeSqliteClient.readOnly` routes a
read to it. It was barely used: 8 transactions in the window, averaging
497 ms, which is the reader pool starved exactly when the writer is busy.

These three reads are pure reads, so they belong on the reader. The change
moves them and nothing else: the queries, the transaction shape and the
results are unchanged.

Comment thread apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStoreLockWait.test.ts Outdated
The lock-wait measurement's writer inserted rows with columns that
`orchestration_v2_projection_checkpoints` does not have, and the insert was
wrapped in `Effect.ignore`, so every row was rejected and the "under write
load" measurement had no write load in it.

The writer now uses the table's own columns, generates a unique scope per
row, and does not swallow failures: the test counts the rows the writer
reports and counts the rows on disk, and asserts they are the same. Both
measurements now assert the lock wait is reported, so the before/after is
compared on the measure the server logs.
The writer signalled its milestone only after every insert had finished, so
the read ran against a writer that was already done. The measurement was of
a read with no write load in it, which is the opposite of what the test
claims to measure.

The milestone is now signalled part way through the inserts, and the writer
keeps writing while the read runs. The test asserts that the writer was still
going when the read started, so the overlap is pinned rather than assumed.

Synchronize with the first reader SQL request

The milestone assertion only checks the writer before getThreadRecords starts. SqlitePersistence.layerFromPath enables readerWorker, so the read transaction sends BEGIN through an asynchronous Effect.callback and worker.postMessage before readCanonicalProjection sends its first SELECT. During that wait, the writer can finish all remaining inserts. The read can then run after the write load ends, so the test does not guarantee read-under-write-load coverage.

Synchronize the writer with a reader-worker request boundary, such as the first SELECT, and keep the writer active until that boundary is crossed. The written < WRITE_ROWS check alone is insufficient.

… is guaranteed

The writer streamed inserts and signalled a milestone part way through, so
the read could still start after the writer had finished: the reader's
transaction opens with an asynchronous BEGIN, and the writer can use that
window to complete its inserts. The test then measured a read with no write
load in it.

The writer now HOLDS the write lock for the whole read, so the overlap is
guaranteed by construction rather than by timing. With the lock held, the
two connections behave differently, and the difference is the change:

    read-on-reader: connection=reader lock_wait_ms=0.022 lock_held_for_ms=12
    read-on-writer: outcome=Failure  lock_held_for_ms=3002 connections_acquired=0

The read on the reader connection completes while the writer holds the
lock. The same read on the writer connection cannot even acquire a
connection - it waits for the lock until the bound expires, and there is no
db.connection span for it because the acquisition never finished.

Bound the reader read to avoid a 120-second regression failure.

If getThreadRecords regresses to the writer connection, the held lock prevents the read from completing. The test then waits for Vitest's 120-second timeout instead of failing after the intended 3-second bound. This is a slow, bounded failure, not an unbounded hang or an established writer leak.

Add the existing BLOCKED_TIMEOUT bound to the getThreadRecords effect in the
test’s withWriteLockHeld flow, so a read blocked by the held writer lock fails
after the intended short timeout instead of waiting for Vitest’s overall
timeout.

- Around line 245-246: In the reader-path test, update the assertion on
heldForMs so it permits a zero-millisecond duration, since the clock has
millisecond resolution and a fast read may finish within one tick. Keep the
assertion non-negative or remove it, and revise the adjacent comment so it
reflects that the lock remains held until the read finishes by construction.
- Around line 275-279: Update the timeout test around `value` and `heldForMs` to
verify the writer read failed specifically with a `TimeoutError`, rather than
accepting any failure, and require the measured lock wait to be close to the
three-second bound (at least 2,500 ms). Keep the `acquired` assertion unchanged.

… timeout

Two assertions were weaker than the claims they carried.

The reader case asserted that the lock was held for the whole read by
checking the elapsed time, which is a 1 ms-resolution clock reading: a fast
read can finish inside the same millisecond, so the assertion could fail
intermittently, and it did not prove what its comment said. The lock is
held by construction - the writer holds its transaction until the read has
finished - and what proves it is that the writer's row was still
uncommitted, and so invisible to the reader, when the read finished. The
test now asserts that.

The writer case accepted any failure. Effect.timeout can preserve an
earlier SQL failure, so "it failed" did not mean "it was blocked by the
lock". The failure is now asserted to be the timeout, and to have waited
for the bound, which a read that failed for another reason would not do.
… on the reader too

A triage note on issue pingdotgg#21840 named four ProjectionStore reads that still
default to the writer on main, because neither they nor their callers opt
into readOnly. Two of them - getShellSnapshot and getThreadRecords - are
covered by the previous commits. This covers the other two:

- getRecoveryThreadIds, the startup-recovery query;
- getSettlementCandidates, the auto-settlement sweep.

Both are pure reads, so both belong on the reader connection: startup
recovery and the settlement sweep must not take the write lock.

Together with getThreadShell, that is every read the note named.

The server typecheck was never actually run locally: `vp run --filter
@t3tools/server typecheck` matches no package, so it exits 0 having done
nothing. The package is `t3`, and `tsc --noEmit` in apps/server reports
twelve errors in the two new test files, which the project's CI caught and
this commit fixes.

- `ModelSelection` was used but never imported.
- `withWriteLockHeld` declared neither the `uncommittedRows` it returns nor
  the `SqlError` its queries can fail with.
- The span attribute is read as `{} | null`, so it needs narrowing before it
  can be used as a connection name.
- `console.log` inside Effect code is rejected by the effect language
  service, and `Effect.log` is swallowed by the test runner, so the
  measurement is printed through a suppressed `console.log` instead.
- `Fiber.join` propagates the writer's failure rather than returning it, so
  a row that did not insert now fails the test instead of passing as write
  load. The writer also releases the reader if the write fails, instead of
  leaving it to time out.
- The two layer merges that provided `NodeServices.layer` alongside other
  layers raised a warning and made `tsc` exit non-zero with no errors at
  all. They now provide it with `Layer.provideMerge`, the way the rest of
  the repository does.

`tsc --noEmit` in apps/server now exits 0 with no errors and no warnings,
and the seven tests in the two files pass.
