fix(cowork): stop the local queue replay that grew a 40 GB jsonl on a customer disk - #343
Merged
Conversation
ingestCoworkSessions() appended new transcript entries to the local queue file, uploaded, and only persisted the per-transcript line watermark after the upload succeeded. Any upload failure (offline host, disconnected network filesystem, 5xx) lost the watermark, so the next 30s tick re-read the same transcript lines and appended the entire transcript to the queue again - forever. A customer running Claude Cowork reached a single 39.9 GB ~/.deeplake/queue-cowork/<session>.jsonl growing ~5 GB/day. The queue file, not the watermark, is what owes the backend those rows, and it retries them with the same ids (the INSERT is idempotent). So persist the watermark as soon as the rows are queued, before the upload, and let a drain failure leave the rows queued instead of aborting the tick. Regression test reproduces the leak: on the previous code a second failing tick doubled the queue file (678 -> 1356 bytes) with no new transcript content.
Backstop for the Cowork queue leak: nothing bounded a session queue file, and a file past a few hundred MB is unflushable anyway because readQueuedRows() reads it into a single string. Stop appending at 256 MB per session file, and gcOversizedQueueFiles() deletes queue/inflight files past the ceiling so a host that already has one reclaims the disk on the next ingest tick.

Codex adversarial review on #343 blocked on three items, all real: 1. The drain only ran when the tick appended something (`if (appendedAny)`). Before the watermark fix the replay itself kept that flag true, so the leak was also what retried the upload. Without it, a queue left behind by an outage was never uploaded if the Cowork session had gone quiet meanwhile. Now the drain also runs whenever the queue still holds rows. Regression test: recovery tick with an unchanged transcript must upload and clear. 2. A row dropped at the size ceiling still advanced the watermark, losing the message with only a debug log nobody has enabled. appendQueuedSessionRow now reports whether it appended, and the ingest records drops to ~/.deeplake/queue-cowork/.dropped-rows.jsonl. 3. gcOversizedQueueFiles deleted files at exactly the ceiling, which appends allow and which still hold unsent rows. It now only drops files strictly above the ceiling - unreachable for the fixed code, so it only ever collects residue from a build that predates the ceiling.

@coderabbitai review |

CodeRabbit (critical) and codex both flagged the same thing: a row rejected at
the ceiling still advanced the watermark, so that message was lost for good.
The watermark now advances one transcript line at a time, and a line's rows are
queued all-or-nothing: if they do not all fit, the watermark stays put and the
line is retried after the drain makes room. Nothing is dropped and nothing is
half-queued. This cannot bring the leak back, because the ceiling refuses the
appends that would grow the file.
The one case that still skips a line is a single line larger than the entire
ceiling, which can never be queued and would otherwise freeze that transcript
forever; it is journalled to ~/.deeplake/cowork-dropped-rows.jsonl.
Regression test: with the queue filled to the ceiling the tick returns
ingested 0 and loses nothing, and after room is freed the held line uploads
exactly once while the earlier ones are not re-queued. Against the previous
drop-and-advance behaviour it fails with 'expected { ingested: 0 } to deeply
equal { ingested: 1 }'.
Codex pass 4 on #343: the journal appended a line on every 30s tick for as long as the queue stayed full, so a fix for an unbounded file introduced a smaller unbounded file. A full queue loses nothing now - ingestion is simply paused until the drain frees room - so that state is a debug log, not a journal entry. The journal is left for real, irreversible losses (a queue file dropped by the GC, a transcript line larger than the whole ceiling), both rare and one-shot, and it carries its own 1 MB ceiling. Test: three consecutive full-queue ticks must leave no journal file at all.

CodeRabbit on #343: - writeSync may write fewer bytes than asked for; both new call sites now loop until the payload is fully written. - A write that throws part-way left half a JSON line in the queue, which would fail every later drain. appendQueuedSessionRows() records the file size before writing and truncates back to it on failure, so the group is all-or-nothing and the caller keeps the watermark on that line. - The loss journal checked its size before serializing the record, so the last write could step over the 1 MB ceiling. It now projects the record's size. The Cowork ingest queues a line through the new group append instead of doing its own room math, so 'the whole line or nothing' is enforced in one place.
Codex pass 6 on #343 blocked on the new append path. Two real problems and the tests it asked for: - readQueuedRows threw on any unparseable line, so ONE truncated record - from a crash mid-append, a rollback that could not run, an older build - failed that flush and every flush after it, stranding the queue permanently. Bad lines are now skipped and counted in the debug log. - The rollback truncated to this call's start offset unconditionally, which would destroy a concurrent appender's rows. It now rolls back only while the file has not grown past what this call could have written; a throwing writeSync does not report its progress, so that bound is what can be checked. The single-writer contract (the Cowork ingest holds an exclusive lock for the whole tick) is documented on the function. New tests/claude-code/session-queue-append-atomicity.test.ts drives writeSync directly: a write that throws half-way leaves the file byte-identical, a short write is completed rather than losing its tail, a concurrent appender's row survives a rollback, and a queue with a truncated last record still flushes its good rows.
Codex pass 7 approved but noted the concurrency test only proved the other writer's BYTES survived, not that its row was still parseable. Strengthening the test proved it was not: a row appended after a half-written one is glued onto the fragment and skipped with it at read time. appendQueuedSessionRows() now checks the file's last byte and prefixes a newline when a previous append died mid-record, so the incoming rows stay parseable and only the fragment is skipped. The descriptor is opened 'a+' rather than 'a' - with 'a' it is write-only and that check failed with EBADF, silently doing nothing, which is how this survived the first round. Tests: the concurrent writer's row now has to flush and reach the backend, and a file ending mid-record must yield three lines with the fragment isolated.

~/.deeplake/queue-cowork/<session>.jsonlat 39.9 GB, growing 1 MB / 20 s (~5 GB/day).Root cause
ingestCoworkSessions()(src/mcp/cowork-ingest.ts) ran every 30 s:saveState()— persist the per-transcript line watermark after the upload.Any upload failure threw out of step 2, so step 3 never ran. The next tick re-read the same transcript lines from the stale watermark and appended the entire transcript to the queue again — every 30 s, without bound. Renu's OneDrive/network-filesystem flapping is exactly the condition that makes every upload fail.
Growth per tick equals the whole transcript, so the file grows quadratically as the session goes on — matching the observed ~1 MB / 20 s.
