Summary

Resolves the unbounded state storage growth and memory bloat caused by orphaned search index shards (BM25 & Vector). Adds explicit generation tracking, multi-generation garbage collection upon index publication, a startup reconciliation sweep, fail-closed safety guards, and subsystem health check/healing under category index in mem::diagnose and mem::heal.

Key Changes

  • Generation Registry (generations:registry): Tracks active and historical generation IDs and their shard inventories in KV storage.
  • Multi-Generation Shard Purging & Startup Sweep:
    • Purges obsolete generation shards across previous unreferenced generations when a new manifest is committed.
    • Adds sweepOrphanShards() to clean up uncommitted or dangling shards upon daemon startup.
  • Fail-Closed Safety & Concurrency Guards:
    • Aborts GC immediately if manifest reads fail or are corrupt, preventing catastrophic deletion of active index shards.
    • Protects in-flight index builds with a 60-second grace period (SWEEP_GRACE_PERIOD_MS).
    • Serializes save operations using a FIFO promise queue to prevent race conditions.
    • Concurrently deletes shards via Promise.allSettled.
  • Diagnostics & Healing Integration:
    • Extends mem::diagnose with category index to inspect manifest validity and flag orphan shards.
    • Extends mem::heal to dry-run and live-purge orphan shards with structured audit logging (orphan-shard-gc).
    • Updates MCP tool definition in src/mcp/tools-registry.ts.

Issues Closed

Verification

  • Added 37 unit tests in test/index-persistence.test.ts and 43 tests in test/diagnostics.test.ts.
  • Verified all 1,749 repo tests pass cleanly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added index health diagnostics for BM25 and vector manifests.
    • Added detection and cleanup of stale orphaned index generations and shards.
    • Added dry-run healing reports, audit records, and configurable cleanup grace periods.
    • Added safer recovery for interrupted or failed index saves.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of missing, corrupt, or unreadable manifests.
    • Prevented cleanup of active generations during recovery.

…ealing

- Implement generation tracking via generations:registry in KV store
- Purge obsolete generation shards upon manifest publish and during startup sweep
- Enforce fail-closed manifest validation, FIFO save queue, and 60s in-flight grace period

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Index persistence now tracks generations, serializes saves, rolls back incomplete writes, and sweeps stale orphan shards. Diagnostics and healing now validate manifests, report orphan generations, clean them up, and record audits.

Changes

Index generation persistence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generation registry and serialized writes
src/state/index-persistence.ts, test/index-persistence.test.ts
Persistence registers BM25 and vector generations, serializes saves, removes failed generations, publishes manifests, and deletes obsolete shards concurrently. Tests cover rollback, ordering, and registry corruption.
Startup orphan sweeping
src/state/index-persistence.ts, test/index-persistence.test.ts
Loading starts asynchronous generation cleanup. The sweep validates manifests, preserves active or recent generations, removes stale shards, and fails closed on read or registry errors.
Index diagnostics and healing
src/functions/diagnostics.ts, src/mcp/tools-registry.ts, test/diagnostics.test.ts
The index category validates manifests and reports orphan generations. Healing supports dry-run and live cleanup, registry pruning, and audit records. The MCP tool description includes the new category. Tests cover valid, missing, corrupt, unreadable, dry-run, and live-healing cases.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to c2bf8

This PR adds automatic startup cleanup and a remotely invokable live-healing path that delete index shards based on generation records. At the current head, failed deletions can remove the retry inventory, concurrent registry updates can lose ownership or race with in-flight builds, and live cleanup lacks mandatory authorization and index/tenant scope validation; these can cause index unavailability, permanent storage leaks, or deletion outside the intended scope, so the PR is not safe to merge without addressing or explicitly accepting these risks.

This test locks in silent non-persistence for a corrupt registry.

The test asserts only that save() does not throw. With a corrupt registry, getRegistry() throws inside saveShardedIndex() at src/state/index-persistence.ts Line 384, so no shard and no manifest are written. The test passes while the index silently stops persisting.

Add an assertion for the intended outcome. If persistence must continue after the registry is reinitialized (see the comment on src/state/index-persistence.ts Lines 384-390), assert that data:manifest exists after save().

💚 Proposed additional assertion
     // Save should catch failure and not throw unhandled exception
     await persistence.save();
 
+    // The index must still be persisted after the registry is reinitialized.
+    const manifest = await kv.get<TestIndexShardManifest>(

+      BM25_MANIFEST_KEY,

Await the sweep deterministically instead of flushing a fixed number of microtasks.

load() starts sweepOrphanShards() without awaiting it. The sweep then performs many sequential awaits: registry read, two manifest reads, shard deletion, audit writes, and the registry write. vi.runAllTimersAsync() followed by one await Promise.resolve() does not guarantee that this whole chain settled. The assertion at Lines 1072-1074 depends on how many microtask ticks the sweep consumes, so the test can flake, and it will break if the sweep gains one more await.

Capture the sweep promise with a spy and await it.

💚 Proposed change
+    let sweepPromise: Promise<unknown> | null = null;
+    const sweepSpy = vi
+      .spyOn(persistence, "sweepOrphanShards")
+      .mockImplementation(function (this: typeof persistence) {
+        sweepPromise = sweepSpy.getMockImplementation
+          ? IndexPersistence.prototype.sweepOrphanShards.call(this)
+          : Promise.resolve();
+        return sweepPromise as ReturnType<
+          typeof persistence.sweepOrphanShards
+        >;

-    // Flush async sweep
-    await vi.runAllTimersAsync();
-    await Promise.resolve();
+    await sweepPromise;

A simpler alternative is to assert the sweep behavior only through the direct await persistence.sweepOrphanShards() tests, and assert here only that load() called it.

Delete the previous-manifest shards concurrently.

Line 547 was changed to delete shards concurrently through Promise.allSettled. This loop still awaits one deleteShards([shard], ...) call per shard. For a large previous manifest, that serializes one KV round trip per shard on the save path.

Collect the shards that need deletion, then pass them to deleteShards() in one call.

♻️ Proposed refactor
-      for (const shard of previous.shards) {
-        const id = `${shard.scope}\0${shard.key}`;
-        if (currentShardIds.has(id) || obsoleteShardIds.has(id)) continue;
-        await this.deleteShards([shard], "previous_generation_cleanup");
-      }

+      });

Record the deleted shard scopes and write the audit entries in parallel.

This is a destructive operation. The audit details record only entityType, reason, and action, so the audit trail cannot show which shard scopes were deleted for each generation. Add the scopes and the count.

The recordAudit() calls are also independent of each other and run sequentially.

Add coverage for a failing or corrupt generation registry.

This test covers a data:manifest read failure. No test covers a generations:registry read failure or a corrupt registry value in either mem::diagnose or mem::heal. That is the path where src/functions/diagnostics.ts currently reports index-orphan-shards as pass with the message "Index shard generations are clean (no orphan shards)", which is a false healthy signal (see the comment on src/functions/diagnostics.ts Lines 806-814).

Add two cases: a rejecting get for generations:registry, and a registry stored with v: 999. Assert that heal makes no deletions, and assert the diagnostic status you decide is correct for an unreadable registry.

Share the orphan-classification logic and the KV key constants with index-persistence.ts.

This block, the heal block at Lines 1255-1376, and IndexPersistence.sweepOrphanShards() in src/state/index-persistence.ts Lines 154-247 each implement the same algorithm: read both manifests, validate their shape, derive eligibility and the active generation, then classify registry generations against a 60-second grace period.

The three copies have already diverged. The sweep treats a generation whose age equals the grace period as an orphan (now - createdAtMs < gracePeriod skips), while both blocks here require now - createdAtMs > INDEX_GRACE_PERIOD_MS. The key names "data:manifest", "vectors:manifest", "generations:registry", the shard key "data", and the 60000 ms grace period are re-declared as literals in all three places.

Export the registry type, the key constants, and a single classification helper from src/state/index-persistence.ts, then call it from both diagnostics blocks. That removes the drift and keeps the reported orphans identical to the ones the sweep deletes.

Do not report "clean" when the generation registry is unreadable or corrupt.

Line 750 sets registry to null when the registry read rejects. Lines 768-773 also skip the scan when the stored registry has v !== 1 or a non-object generations. In both cases orphanGenCount stays 0, and this else branch pushes a pass check with the message "Index shard generations are clean (no orphan shards)".

Both cases are failures, not clean states. The BM25 and vector manifests each get an explicit fail check for the same conditions at Lines 691-697 and Lines 740-746; the registry gets none. An operator sees a healthy index while the registry is corrupt. That corrupt registry also stops all index persistence through getRegistry() in src/state/index-persistence.ts Line 307, so the diagnostic hides the exact condition it should surface.

Add a registry check and reserve the pass message for a successfully parsed registry.

Both cleanup paths purge registry entries without confirming the shard deletions succeeded. A failed delete leaves the shard in KV while its registry record disappears, so nothing can ever reclaim that shard. One transient KV error converts a tracked orphan into a permanent one.

  • src/state/index-persistence.ts#L249-L258: deleteShards() calls deleteKey(), which catches every error and resolves, recording only an audit row with result: "failed". Make deleteKey() return a success boolean, make deleteShards() return the set of scopes it deleted, and purge only the generations whose scopes are all in that set.
  • src/functions/diagnostics.ts#L1391-L1396: await Promise.allSettled(deletePromises) discards its results, then Lines 1393-1396 delete and persist regardless. Inspect each settled result and retain the registry entry for any generation with a rejected delete. Report the retained generations in details so the failure is explicit.

Three unsynchronized writers perform read-modify-write on the single generations:registry key. Each site reads the whole registry object, mutates it in memory, and writes the whole object back. No site uses a lock or a compare-and-set. A write from one site therefore discards a generation entry that another site added after its own read. The lost entry leaves its shards in KV with no registry record, so neither a later sweep nor a later mem::heal run can reclaim them. That reproduces the unbounded orphan accumulation described in issue #1115.

  • src/state/index-persistence.ts#L253-L258: the sweep writes the registry it read at Line 160. Re-read the registry inside a lock and remove only the generations this sweep confirmed as orphans.
  • src/state/index-persistence.ts#L145-L149: load() starts the sweep outside saveQueue, so the sweep runs concurrently with save(). Enqueue the sweep on saveQueue, or take the same registry lock.
  • src/state/index-persistence.ts#L384-L390: the save path registers a new generation with the same read-modify-write. Perform this read and write inside the shared registry lock.
  • src/functions/diagnostics.ts#L1391-L1396: mem::heal writes the registry it read at Line 1319, with no lock, unlike every other heal branch in that file (Lines 863, 922, 1226). Wrap the registry read, mutation, and write in withKeyedLock on a single registry key shared with IndexPersistence.

Preserve the grace period when cleaning previous generations. saveQueue serializes saves only within one IndexPersistence. --port changes ports without changing the resolved data directory; only --instance isolates the directory. A concurrent save can therefore register and write a generation while this cleanup deletes it. Its later manifest then references missing shards, which triggers an index rebuild. Apply sweepGracePeriodMs to this cleanup.
