📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe change applies exclusive data-frame write locks to staged-table rebuilds, recovery, renames, column mutations, embedding indexing, and staged-table deletion. Documentation defines lock ordering and asynchronous restore behavior. ChangesData-frame write-locking
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR broadens staged-table locking and fixes rename behavior, but current code can leave a destination-only database WAL during rename and can run synchronous unindex work on an async worker while contending with indexing; a panic may also retain a lock-registry entry. These create concrete data-correctness and availability concerns, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 5 included reviews per hour; 3 remain after this review.
The per-data-frame lock is only worth what it covers: any writer that skips it can still end up on a second DuckDB database over the same file and discard another writer's rows. The three column operations, `unindex`, the `index` rebuild, `reindex_preserving_rows`, and the embeddings column retype all take it now. Two of these needed more than a wrapper. `reindex_preserving_rows` exports the table's rows to a temp file and rebuilds from that export, so the export and the rebuild have to be one step or a row written in between is absent from the result. Removing the export belongs to that step as well: every recovery of one data frame within a process exports to the same path, so a removal after the guard is released can delete an export a second recovery has just written and is about to read. `rename` drops the cached connection by hand and then copies and removes the directory that connection was reading, and renaming onto an existing data frame overwrites the destination's directory, so it holds both ends of the move. It drops the destination's cached connection along with the source's: the copy rewrites the destination's database file in place, so a connection left open on it serves a catalog and pages the file no longer holds, and a read of the renamed-to path comes back with the destination's pre-rename rows. Those two locks are taken in sorted path order, which is what keeps two renames between the same pair from deadlocking by taking them in opposite orders. Both locks and the work they guard moved onto the blocking pool: waiting on a lock parked an async worker, and the checkpoint, copy, and removal ran there too. The staged-entry work after them still runs on the worker. Owning its paths across that boundary also replaced the two `parent().unwrap()` calls with the error the neighboring functions return. A rename onto the data frame's own path now returns without doing any of that. It was destructive: the move copied the DuckDB directory onto itself and then removed it, and the staged entry was upserted at the new path only to be deleted at the old one, which is the same entry. The two paths are therefore never equal where the locks are taken, so a non-reentrant lock is never asked for a second entry. Each guard wraps synchronous work only. `columns::update` and `index` are async, so the guard sits inside them around the DuckDB block rather than spanning their awaits, and `index`'s sits inside the `spawn_blocking` that already owned its rebuild. `restore`'s two separate guards are deliberate and were unexplained: the guard cannot be held across the await between its unindex and its index, so a row write landing in the gap fails rather than vanishing, which is what a caller discarding staged edits wants. oxen-server's index check is what turns that into a clean `OxenHttpError::DatasetNotIndexed`. The df_db flush test asserted that the connection cache was empty afterward, which any sibling test opening its own data frame could break in the window between the flush and the check. It now asserts that the entries present before the flush are gone, which is what the flush actually guarantees.

Remove new_db_path_parent before copy_dir_all.
copy_dir_all merges into an existing directory. Therefore, a destination-only db.wal can remain beside the copied database. On the next get_connection, DuckDB may process this WAL against the copied database before recovery handles an open failure. Remove the destination directory after cache eviction, then recreate it before copying.

Move unindex off the async worker.
The server calls restore from an async handler. restore calls synchronous unindex, which waits on with_data_frame_write. A concurrent index holds that lock during the full file parse, so the handler can block its Tokio worker. Run the complete synchronous unindex call chain in spawn_blocking at the restore boundary, as rename does.

Second of the stack that began with #896, now merged. #898 builds on this branch.
Background, if you haven't read #896: opening a DuckDB file this process already has open yields a second, independent database rather than joining the first, because DuckDB's single-writer protection is a file lock that only excludes other processes. The two diverge, and whichever folds its state into the file last is the one that survives, so a writer's rows are gone while it was told they were saved. #896 added a per-data-frame lock keyed on the staged DuckDB file. Any writer that skips it is still exposed, which is what this PR closes.
Now guarded:
columns::{add, update, delete},unindex,index,reindex_preserving_rows,rename, and the embeddings column retype. Most are a plain wrapper. Two aren't:.await.renamereserves the destination as well as the source, in sorted path order so two renames between the same pair can't take them in opposite orders. Both locks and the work they guard run on the blocking pool.Review also turned up two behavior bugs in
rename, both pre-existing:Three rename tests, each checked to fail against the old behavior. Rust and Python suites green.
One known gap:
rename's staged-entry work still runs on the async worker rather than inspawn_blocking. Pre-existing, and it belongs with the rest of the workspace data-frame write offloading rather than here.
