fix(persistence): recover Electric rows after interleaved source commits - #2298
Recover missing or resurrected rows when eager Electric tabs resume from inconsistent shared SQLite state. A restart requests a full source snapshot when persisted evidence cannot justify the saved resume position. Cached rows remain visible during recovery.
In the row-loss trace, tab A applies a delete followed by an insert. Tab B later commits only the older delete. A then stores its newer resume position without another insert. Both tabs restart beyond that insert, so the row stays missing. The resurrection trace has the same cause with the opposite membership change.
Each eager Electric commit now supplies a source progress token and its expected predecessor through an optional persistence capability. The opaque token contains shape identity, handle, and offset. SQLite checks the predecessor under its writer lock, atomically with rows and resume metadata. A mismatch invalidates source progress evidence until an authoritative full truncate. Duplicate complete endpoints preserve existing evidence.
Startup uses the existing full-snapshot recovery when tokens are missing, foreign, or incompatible. Incompatible evidence also overrides explicit caller positions. A durable reset from an interrupted eager replacement requires the same fresh snapshot. A caller offset cannot supply the missing baseline. Progressive and on-demand explicit-position behavior stays unchanged.
Source progress evidence stays separate from physical key integrity, which preserves cached rows during recovery. Writes still apply in arrival order with their existing receipts. SQLite adds one column automatically. Custom adapters expose the optional capability only when they implement the atomic check.
The independent cluster report supports this diagnosis. All four exact reported traces pass. Its two reset traces also exposed a premature oracle checkpoint: final delivery could fail a reset-abandoned transaction after the initial restart sweep. The driver now restarts that newly failed source before comparing the source head. This checkpoint correction needs no production change.
🔬 Oracle Coverage
Law: After successful source recovery and complete delivery, durable rows and every open eager Collection equal the source head. Authority: Browser Law 2, #2209, and the coverage map. The public recovery contract requires a fresh baseline after reset. Reset-abandoned commits require restart under the maintainer decision in #2265. The optional capability contract requires sticky predecessor continuity and idempotent duplicate endpoints.
The two primary owners exercise these production paths and observations:
Reopened public/durable rows against PostgreSQL after complete delivery
Reach: Both focused properties retain 80 fixed-seed inputs and 80 random inputs. Every Browser input runs its original history and an interrupted-recovery neighbor, for 160 histories per campaign. Histories vary membership, source roles, repeated toggles, empty/disjoint advancement, draining, token provenance, recovery, and caller positions. SQLite varies predecessor paths, empty/duplicate commits, replacement, and legacy migration. The broader lifecycle grammar constructs all four stop kinds before its unchanged arbitrary interleavings. Every declared reach passes.
The 30 real receiving cells include ten original, ten explicit-position, and ten interrupted-recovery histories. Each requires the held earlier response, stale commit, later advancement, and reopened comparison. Interrupted cells observe an actual durable reset before stopping the pending replacement. Numeric/now cells also require their selected caller position.
RED: Before production edits, the extended owners fail on original production 82c5f999b. Browser seed 2281, path 0:0:0:0, loses row 1 at the source-head comparison. SQLite rejects missing discontinuity evidence. Real receiving produced four wrong-row failures with four passing draining controls. The explicit-position extension then exposed eight real numeric/now failures, while initial-offset and handle-only controls passed. The interrupted-reset extension fails both generated campaigns and four real numeric/now comparisons, with six none/initial/handle controls passing. Its fixed replay is seed 2281, path 1:0:0. Each extension ran before its corresponding production fix.
GREEN: On the final implementation, the complete Browser owner reports 312 passed and two tracked expected failures, without type errors. All 30 real receiving cells pass. SQLite reports 61 passes. Electric checks report 336 and 97 passes across two commands, without type errors. All four exact issue replays pass. Browser TypeScript checking, pnpm lint:changed, and whitespace checks pass. Supplemental capability, Electron IPC, and replay checks also pass. The documentation check reports zero new failures across 806 examples.
Mutant: Ignoring durable gaps fails SQLite, Browser restart/reopen histories, and real disjoint-advancement cells. Rejecting duplicate endpoints fails SQLite. Bypassing startup validation fails Browser and real legacy-token cells. Admitting recovery but preserving the caller position fails the final source-head comparison at seed 2281, path 1:0:0. Removing SDK-give-up abandonment fails a public-row comparison. Removing the final restart makes both reset traces fail their original final checkpoint. Production restoration and the corresponding replays pass. No comparison, exclusion, or run budget was relaxed.

Limits: These are bounded, same-version eager histories sharing SQLite. They do not prove arbitrary scheduling, mixed versions, monotonic intermediate writes, on-demand subsets, optimistic mutations, native/Electron receiving, individual receipt fulfillment, or clean teardown. They exclude arbitrary cursor selection over certified rows, changed-shape/malformed explicit resumes, other modes' reset policy, and real foreign-token receiving. The permanently closed lagging-source case in #2209 remains a tracked expected failure. The #2267 partial-update rejection follows the safety contract. Its no-error composition expectation remains a separate contract question. The seed-row-metadata failure in the first #2281 comment remains open. The coverage map retains separate metadata receiving, replay/reset scheduling, and teardown witnesses.
The investigation record consolidates the final mechanism, trace replays, measured reaches, calibration results, and limits in 239 lines, reduced from 1,351. It links the complete historical record at the prior commit. The latest completed external review covers 124ce667c, and automatic review is paused. The later eager reset change has independent local source review and the generated, real receiving, and mutant evidence above.
The first final-head CI attempt reported two test failures in DB shard 2. The observer hydration oracle returns empty rows after repeated cleanup/restart at seed -843508256, path 88:0:0:3:9:12:17. The same exact trace fails on a clean source snapshot of current main bea84cd45, using the existing dependencies.
The other failure misses the aggregate oracle's required uppercase/lowercase ordering reach. Its coverage-map entry and #2289 track that gap. Both owners and the observer implementation match main.
The maintainer chose to keep this PR focused and handle these failures separately. One failed-job rerun passed on unchanged 0ec58057d, with all 14,444 DB shard tests passing and no type errors. All 25 CI checks now pass. CodeRabbit remains skipped because automatic review is paused at 124ce667c. The original observer defect and aggregate reach gap remain open in separate work. These successful tests do not close either defect or establish whole-branch readiness.
The docs-only follow-up 381f41e20 initially failed the ordered-replay retention comparison in DB shard 1. The replay uses seed -1707950093 and path 218:1:1:8:9:9:9:13. It fails on both this PR and clean current main bea84cd45. The query exposes one row while the retained publication has three. The oracle is byte-identical to main. This is another witness for the retention boundary tracked in #2294. It does not establish the same root cause as that issue's different trace. The focused PR leaves this separate mismatch open. One failed-job retry passed on unchanged 381f41e20. All 25 CI checks now pass, including browser E2E. CodeRabbit remains skipped because automatic review is paused. No source, comparison, or run budget changed. The completion gate passes for this focused source-progress change, with the limits and separate open issues above.
Final runs set pnpm_config_verify_deps_before_run=false after upstream release-specifier changes triggered pnpm's automatic reinstall. The relevant installed external dependencies stayed unchanged. No dependency override or lockfile workaround accompanies this PR.
✅ Checklist
Tested affected oracle owners, real receiving paths, capability validation, and types locally as recorded above.
Reviewed and simplified the change, evaluated independent review findings, and resolved all supported in-scope findings.
🚀 Release Impact
This change affects published code and includes a patch changeset for @tanstack/db, @tanstack/db-sqlite-persistence-core, and @tanstack/electric-db-collection.
This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).
pnpm size:compare --files --packages db,db-sqlite-persistence-core,electric-db-collection reports +573 gzip bytes against merge-base 672684846. The package deltas are DB +37, SQLite core +368, and Electric +168. The standard app fixture adds 45 gzip bytes, but it does not use Electric or SQLite and does not measure their application cost. Atomic continuity evidence accounts for the main increase. Recovery reuses existing snapshot replacement.
Improved recovery for eager Electric collections when interleaved updates make saved sync progress unreliable. Collections now request a fresh snapshot instead of resuming from inconsistent progress, while cached rows remain visible during recovery.
Repeated delivery of the same source position no longer creates a false continuity gap.
A fresh snapshot is requested when saved progress is missing or incompatible, even when an explicit resume position is supplied.
Documentation
Clarified how saved progress compatibility affects recovery and resume behavior.

Law: after successful recovery and source catch-up, every open eager Collection and durable rows equal the source head (coverage-map Law 2, #2209). Preserve arrival-order application and cached-row visibility.
Reach: Browser and SQLite source-progress properties each run 80 fixed and 80 random histories. Browser restart/reload reached 25/13 fixed and 24/23 random. SQLite discontinuity/duplicate/migration reached 61/64/34 fixed and 53/61/39 random. Ten real SDK/OPFS cells each reached all four declared states.
RED: before production edits on 82c5f99, Browser source-prefix seed2281 path0:0:0:0 lost row1; SQLite predecessor oracle missed gap evidence; real SDK/OPFS matrix had four semantic failures and four passing drain controls. Commands and full chronology are in docs/contributing/oracle-reviews/issue-2281-investigation.md.
GREEN: pnpm --filter @tanstack/browser-db-sqlite-persistence exec vitest --run tests/multi-tab-electric-oracle.test.ts --maxWorkers=2 --coverage.enabled=false: 312 passed,2 expected failures. SQLite resume owner61, Electric races49, bridge8, real SDK/OPFS14 passed. Browser tsc, lint:changed and diff check pass on base07bfc0eb2. Accepted test-driver simplification passed tsc and one real receiving cell.
Mutant: dropping durable gap retention fails core, Browser restart/reload and real disjoint comparisons; rejecting duplicate endpoints fails core; bypassing startup provenance fails controlled and real legacy comparisons. All mutants restored.
Limits: bounded same-version eager SQLite sources, controlled Node and real Chromium OPFS paths. No monotonic live ordering, mixed-version writes, on-demand, native-device or arbitrary scheduling claim. Separate #2209 permanent-close, #2267 resumed-update and seed-metadata gaps remain open.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
Eager Electric collections now record source-progress tokens and validate continuity through SQLite persistence. When progress is incompatible, the collection requests a fresh snapshot while cached rows remain visible. Generated SQLite and multi-tab histories, plus a real OPFS receiving test, cover recovery behavior.

Summary
Source-progress contract and runtime propagation packages/db/src/types.ts, packages/db/src/sync-persistence.ts, packages/db-sqlite-persistence-core/src/persisted.ts, packages/db/tests/*
Persistence capabilities can report expected source progress and compatibility evidence. The runtime forwards these values through persisted transactions and resume snapshots, and validation checks the added methods. Oracle replay registries include the new properties.
SQLite compares predecessor and persisted progress, records discontinuities separately from key-set evidence, and returns both types of evidence in resume snapshots. Generated tests check continuity, replacement, duplicates, and legacy schemas.
Eager Electric resume and recovery packages/electric-db-collection/src/electric.ts, packages/electric-db-collection/tests/*
Eager Electric identifies progress by shape ID, handle, and offset. Persisted resumes require compatible progress, in addition to consistent key-set evidence, or fresh-source evidence.
Multi-tab recovery histories and convergence checks packages/browser-db-sqlite-persistence/tests/*
Generated and fixed histories test restart, reload, and cached-row recovery paths. Convergence checks compare durable and tab rows with the source head. Cleanup collects failures across resources.
The OPFS test exercises held interleaved responses, source advancement, and reopening. It compares reopened rows with PostgreSQL and verifies oracle reachability.

Explanation
The description follows the template's three top-level sections (Changes, Oracle Coverage, Checklist, Release Impact) and is detailed. It explains the row-loss and resurrection cause, the source progress token and predecessor check, the startup recovery behavior, and the cached-row guarantee. The Oracle Coverage section names both owners, the law, production paths, checkpoints, RED/GREEN results, mutants, reach counts, and limits, as the template asks for a bug fix. The checklist and release impact sections are filled in and match the changeset. Remaining gaps: the description is very long and dense, and it mixes in CI-failure triage and maintainer-decision notes that a reviewer must dig through. The template's checklist asks for local testing with pnpm test, but the author lists targeted owner commands instead of the full pnpm test run. The description also does not clearly state whether the whole-branch CI failures are resolved, and it says the completion gate passes while also listing open issues, which is somewhat confusing.

Each row aggregates the 14.4 scale/index/write-mode configurations of that query; per-configuration tables below.
Runner: node v24.8.0, linux 7.0.0-1017-azure, AMD EPYC 7763 64-Core Processor. Timings on shared CI runners are noisy; treat small deltas as indicative only.
Set an explicit timeout on the open readiness polls.
Both expect.poll calls in open() use Playwright's default expect timeout of 5 s. Neither config sets an expect timeout. The timeout values in the configs apply to the test body, not to expect. open() waits for OPFS initialization and the first Electric commit, and it runs for both tabs and for the reopened page. Startup that takes longer than 5 s can fail these polls before the test reaches its assertions.

Preserve source-progress incompatibility with explicit cursors.
When persisted source-progress evidence is incompatible, an explicit shapeOptions.offset or shapeOptions.handle currently bypasses lacksCompletePersistedResume. Eager mode then passes the explicit cursor to ShapeStream, suppresses the fresh snapshot, and applies incremental changes to uncertified cached rows. This can leave missing or stale rows after recovery. Explicit cursors do not certify cached rows.

⚠️Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Replace the deep node_modules type import.
The import reaches into another package's node_modules directory by relative path. This path works only with the current pnpm layout. The path breaks if the layout changes, for example with hoisting or a different package manager. This package does not declare @electric-sql/client as a dependency. The import is type-only, so it has no runtime effect. The type check can still fail.
Define the type locally instead. multi-tab-electric-oracle.test.ts already uses the same literal shape for ExplicitPosition.offset.

-import type { Offset } from '../../electric-db-collection/node_modules/@electric-sql/client'+type Offset = `-1` | `now` | `${number}_${number}`

🎯 Changes
Recover missing or resurrected rows when eager Electric tabs resume from inconsistent shared SQLite state. A restart requests a full source snapshot when persisted evidence cannot justify the saved resume position. Cached rows remain visible during recovery.
In the row-loss trace, tab A applies a delete followed by an insert. Tab B later commits only the older delete. A then stores its newer resume position without another insert. Both tabs restart beyond that insert, so the row stays missing. The resurrection trace has the same cause with the opposite membership change.
Each eager Electric commit now supplies a source progress token and its expected predecessor through an optional persistence capability. The opaque token contains shape identity, handle, and offset. SQLite checks the predecessor under its writer lock, atomically with rows and resume metadata. A mismatch invalidates source progress evidence until an authoritative full truncate. Duplicate complete endpoints preserve existing evidence.
Startup uses the existing full-snapshot recovery when tokens are missing, foreign, or incompatible. Incompatible evidence also overrides explicit caller positions. A durable reset from an interrupted eager replacement requires the same fresh snapshot. A caller offset cannot supply the missing baseline. Progressive and on-demand explicit-position behavior stays unchanged.
Source progress evidence stays separate from physical key integrity, which preserves cached rows during recovery. Writes still apply in arrival order with their existing receipts. SQLite adds one column automatically. Custom adapters expose the optional capability only when they implement the atomic check.
The independent cluster report supports this diagnosis. All four exact reported traces pass. Its two reset traces also exposed a premature oracle checkpoint: final delivery could fail a reset-abandoned transaction after the initial restart sweep. The driver now restarts that newly failed source before comparing the source head. This checkpoint correction needs no production change.
🔬 Oracle Coverage
Law: After successful source recovery and complete delivery, durable rows and every open eager Collection equal the source head. Authority: Browser Law 2, #2209, and the coverage map. The public recovery contract requires a fresh baseline after reset. Reset-abandoned commits require restart under the maintainer decision in #2265. The optional capability contract requires sticky predecessor continuity and idempotent duplicate endpoints.
The two primary owners exercise these production paths and observations:
Reach: Both focused properties retain 80 fixed-seed inputs and 80 random inputs. Every Browser input runs its original history and an interrupted-recovery neighbor, for 160 histories per campaign. Histories vary membership, source roles, repeated toggles, empty/disjoint advancement, draining, token provenance, recovery, and caller positions. SQLite varies predecessor paths, empty/duplicate commits, replacement, and legacy migration. The broader lifecycle grammar constructs all four stop kinds before its unchanged arbitrary interleavings. Every declared reach passes.
The 30 real receiving cells include ten original, ten explicit-position, and ten interrupted-recovery histories. Each requires the held earlier response, stale commit, later advancement, and reopened comparison. Interrupted cells observe an actual durable reset before stopping the pending replacement. Numeric/
nowcells also require their selected caller position.RED: Before production edits, the extended owners fail on original production
82c5f999b. Browser seed2281, path0:0:0:0, loses row 1 at the source-head comparison. SQLite rejects missing discontinuity evidence. Real receiving produced four wrong-row failures with four passing draining controls. The explicit-position extension then exposed eight real numeric/nowfailures, while initial-offset and handle-only controls passed. The interrupted-reset extension fails both generated campaigns and four real numeric/nowcomparisons, with six none/initial/handle controls passing. Its fixed replay is seed2281, path1:0:0. Each extension ran before its corresponding production fix.GREEN: On the final implementation, the complete Browser owner reports 312 passed and two tracked expected failures, without type errors. All 30 real receiving cells pass. SQLite reports 61 passes. Electric checks report 336 and 97 passes across two commands, without type errors. All four exact issue replays pass. Browser TypeScript checking,
pnpm lint:changed, and whitespace checks pass. Supplemental capability, Electron IPC, and replay checks also pass. The documentation check reports zero new failures across 806 examples.Mutant: Ignoring durable gaps fails SQLite, Browser restart/reopen histories, and real disjoint-advancement cells. Rejecting duplicate endpoints fails SQLite. Bypassing startup validation fails Browser and real legacy-token cells. Admitting recovery but preserving the caller position fails the final source-head comparison at seed
2281, path1:0:0. Removing SDK-give-up abandonment fails a public-row comparison. Removing the final restart makes both reset traces fail their original final checkpoint. Production restoration and the corresponding replays pass. No comparison, exclusion, or run budget was relaxed.Final measured fixed/random reaches:
Limits: These are bounded, same-version eager histories sharing SQLite. They do not prove arbitrary scheduling, mixed versions, monotonic intermediate writes, on-demand subsets, optimistic mutations, native/Electron receiving, individual receipt fulfillment, or clean teardown. They exclude arbitrary cursor selection over certified rows, changed-shape/malformed explicit resumes, other modes' reset policy, and real foreign-token receiving. The permanently closed lagging-source case in #2209 remains a tracked expected failure. The #2267 partial-update rejection follows the safety contract. Its no-error composition expectation remains a separate contract question. The seed-row-metadata failure in the first #2281 comment remains open. The coverage map retains separate metadata receiving, replay/reset scheduling, and teardown witnesses.
The investigation record consolidates the final mechanism, trace replays, measured reaches, calibration results, and limits in 239 lines, reduced from 1,351. It links the complete historical record at the prior commit. The latest completed external review covers
124ce667c, and automatic review is paused. The later eager reset change has independent local source review and the generated, real receiving, and mutant evidence above.The first final-head CI attempt reported two test failures in DB shard 2. The observer hydration oracle returns empty rows after repeated cleanup/restart at seed
-843508256, path88:0:0:3:9:12:17. The same exact trace fails on a clean source snapshot of current mainbea84cd45, using the existing dependencies.The other failure misses the aggregate oracle's required uppercase/lowercase ordering reach. Its coverage-map entry and #2289 track that gap. Both owners and the observer implementation match main.
The maintainer chose to keep this PR focused and handle these failures separately. One failed-job rerun passed on unchanged
0ec58057d, with all 14,444 DB shard tests passing and no type errors. All 25 CI checks now pass. CodeRabbit remains skipped because automatic review is paused at124ce667c. The original observer defect and aggregate reach gap remain open in separate work. These successful tests do not close either defect or establish whole-branch readiness.The docs-only follow-up
381f41e20initially failed the ordered-replay retention comparison in DB shard 1. The replay uses seed-1707950093and path218:1:1:8:9:9:9:13. It fails on both this PR and clean current mainbea84cd45. The query exposes one row while the retained publication has three. The oracle is byte-identical to main. This is another witness for the retention boundary tracked in #2294. It does not establish the same root cause as that issue's different trace. The focused PR leaves this separate mismatch open. One failed-job retry passed on unchanged381f41e20. All 25 CI checks now pass, including browser E2E. CodeRabbit remains skipped because automatic review is paused. No source, comparison, or run budget changed. The completion gate passes for this focused source-progress change, with the limits and separate open issues above.Owner commands, from the repository root:

🚀 Release Impact
@tanstack/db,@tanstack/db-sqlite-persistence-core, and@tanstack/electric-db-collection.pnpm size:compare --files --packages db,db-sqlite-persistence-core,electric-db-collectionreports +573 gzip bytes against merge-base672684846. The package deltas are DB +37, SQLite core +368, and Electric +168. The standard app fixture adds 45 gzip bytes, but it does not use Electric or SQLite and does not measure their application cost. Atomic continuity evidence accounts for the main increase. Recovery reuses existing snapshot replacement.Addresses #2281.
