Summary

  • invalidate cached file reads before every cache-aware file mutation attempt and again after it settles
  • apply the same rule to writeFile, mergeFile, bulkWrite, and deleteFile
  • add populated-cache regressions for 409 conflicts and the immediate read -> conflicting write -> re-read sequence

Strategy

A write attempt invalidates the client knowledge of the path revision regardless of the outcome. A 409 is positive evidence that the cached revision is stale.

This uses pre-request plus finally eviction. Pre-request eviction prevents new callers from hitting knowledge invalidated by the attempt. The finally eviction removes any entry or tracked in-flight read that a concurrent reader may have created while the mutation was pending. The tradeoff is an extra refetch after unrelated failures such as auth or network errors; that is intentionally conservative because a network failure does not always prove the server rejected the mutation.

Conflict-specific eviction was rejected because it relies on recognizing every present and future conflict shape and leaves ambiguous network outcomes cached.

Sibling audit

All cache-aware mutation paths in client.ts had success-only ordering and shared the defect: writeFile, mergeFile, bulkWrite, and deleteFile. They now use the same invalidation bracket.

Evidence

Source ablation with the five new tests unchanged:

Source semantics Passed Failed
restored success-only invalidation 0 5
pre-request plus finally invalidation 5 0

Full package verification:

  • npm run build --workspace=packages/sdk/typescript
  • npm run typecheck --workspace=packages/sdk/typescript
  • npm run test --workspace=packages/sdk/typescript (277 passed)

Limits

The mocked tests prove SDK request/cache behavior, including that the cache is populated before the conflict and that the next read performs a GET. Without a live relayfile server they cannot prove server-side CAS timing, propagation latency, or adapter-core end-to-end convergence under real concurrent writers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The TypeScript SDK now invalidates file-read cache entries before and after write attempts. Tests cover revision conflicts for all affected mutation methods. Trajectory records document the completed change.

Changes

SDK cache invalidation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cache eviction flow
packages/sdk/typescript/src/client.ts
A shared helper evicts affected paths before requests and in finally. writeFile, mergeFile, bulkWrite, and deleteFile use the helper.
Regression validation and records
packages/sdk/typescript/src/client.test.ts, .trajectories/completed/2026-08/*, .trajectories/index.json
Tests verify fresh reads after conflicting mutations. Trajectory metadata records the completed task and index entry.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b57cf

The cache behavior fix is localized and verified, but the PR also commits a developer workstation path that exposes a local username and directory layout to repository readers; remove or redact that path before merging.

Poem

A rabbit watched the cache path glow
Before each write, stale bytes go
A conflict thumped; the reads renewed
Fresh revisions hopped into view
Four file mutations now stay true
