feat(drive): time-range index TTL — O(1) flat-drop drainage and ephemeral-bytes fees by QuantumExplorer · Pull Request #4581 · dashpay/platform

QuantumExplorer · 2026-09-01T18:29:42Z

Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Windowed index data is intrinsically ephemeral, but every entry pays perpetual-retention storage prices and nothing ever cleans expired windows up — so the flagship trending use case (likes feeding a timeRange index, ranked per window) is drastically overpriced. A timeRange index can now declare a time to live:

"timeRange": { "on": "$createdAt", "range": 3600, "step": 3600, "ttl": 604800 }

Entries live at most ttl past their bucket's start; expired buckets are drained lazily and their storage reclaimed; and every byte written under a TTL'd index bills to processing at an ephemeral-bytes rate instead of storage — no storage flags, no refunds. Architecture reference: book/src/drive/time-range-ttl.md (in this PR). grovedb dependency: the flat-subtree drop from dashpay/grovedb#848, landed as grovedb PR #849 and merged to develop — this PR pins it (d548e282).

(Absorbs what was briefly stacked as #4583 — the TTL lifecycle and its fee model review together.)

What was done?

TTL lifecycle

Grammar and validation (rs-dpp): ttl joins the meta-schema v3 timeRange map and parses into the transform — deliberately excluded from the grid identity (a TTL never forks the storage level; grid matching stays (range, step, phase)). ttl >= range structurally (a window still able to receive consensus-timestamped writes can never expire); a one-week cap as a versioned system limit (the TTL pair joins the still-unreleased SYSTEM_LIMITS_V4 in place — the cap is what makes flat ephemeral-bytes pricing honest); and indexes sharing a grid on one field must share the TTL — one storage level cannot carry two lifecycles.

Drainage (rs-drive): every write into a TTL'd index — insert, update, or delete — continues draining the oldest expired bucket, deepest-first, one O(1) flat unit at a time: each group's [0] reference tree (where the mass lives) is flat-dropped; the emptied group value tree leaves through the flat drop — or, under a ranked property-name tree, through grovedb's dedicated indexed-tree delete, which mirrors the group out of the ranking secondary; the drained property-name tree is flat-dropped (dooming its per-axis secondary prefixes); the emptied bucket last. Every step is O(1); the step count scales with the window's distinct groups, and that count is the budget (SystemLimits::max_time_range_ttl_drop_operations_per_write, 32 per write). The drain is stateless-resumable: each write re-finds the oldest expired bucket and its first remaining group; when nothing is expired the check is one bounded range read. Drainage runs as one deduplicated sweep per write (drain_expired_time_range_levels) — levels are keyed by grid-qualified storage key, so indexes sharing a grid drain once — placed before any batch mutation is queued, so a direct drop can never race a queued operation.

Queries — expired windows are not queryable: a byStart selection past the expiry horizon is rejected at resolution (the drain's own strictly-below predicate), on the server from committed block time and on the verifier from the quorum-signed response time_ms — so a mid-drainage window can never serve a truncated answer, to anyone, and every window a query can address is complete (drainage only touches expired buckets). The drainage lag is purely internal. Non-TTL indexes and the relative selectors are untouched.

Removal semantics (rs-drive): buckets stand partially drained between writes, so the delete and update walkers work at full-path granularity: a document whose group trees the drain already took skips cleanly (walked existence checks from the document-type path, so a missing intermediate answers false rather than erroring); one whose trees still stand is removed normally — an undrained expired bucket never carries dangling references. Writes never target expired buckets (the update walker filters its new entry keys), so a dropped path is never re-created before its reclamation record drains — the flat-drop path-reuse contract holds by construction. Live buckets behave byte-identically to before. Block time threads through the insert and delete walker chains from the BlockInfo their entry points already carry.

Host duties (drive-abci): flush_pending_prefix_drops after each finalized block's commit (turning the drops' redo records into DB-level range tombstones) and once at platform open, completing reclamation a crash interrupted. Both outside consensus: failures log and retry; the root hash is never involved.

Ephemeral-bytes fee reclassification

The economic payoff. TTL'd bytes have a hard one-week life cap, so charging them decades of prepaid retention is dishonest pricing; the honest price is compute plus a bounded week of disk occupancy.

Fee tables (rs-platform-version): FeeStorageVersion gains ttl_ephemeral_disk_usage_credit_per_byte, priced at 270 credits/byte — 1% of the 27,000 storage rate, ~27× a pro-rata week of epoch-distributed retention, so a safe over-charge, not a subsidy. The rate lives in the one shared storage table and PV14 keeps FEE_VERSION2: no fee-version fork, because the value is dead below PV14 (the ttl grammar does not parse there, so no ephemeral-classified operation can exist to read it) — carrying it changes no released behavior.

Ephemeral operation class (rs-drive): new LowLevelDriveOperation variants EphemeralGroveOperation / CalculatedEphemeralCostOperation. Grove ops normally collapse into one batch whose cost is consumed as a unit, so ephemeral ops ride a second grovedb batch whose captured cost is consumed on its own terms: storage_fee = 0, processing_fee += added_bytes × 270 (checked arithmetic). A SectionedStorageRemoval surfacing in an ephemeral batch is a CorruptedCodeExecution — TTL'd elements have no flags, so refundable removal there means a classification bug. Estimation routes through the same split with the same layer info, keeping estimated >= actual per fee class. The insert/delete/update walkers detect ttl on a sub-level, collect that sub-level's ops locally, retag them ephemeral, and pass None storage flags down (actual writes and estimation layers both).

Flag stripping at the choke point (the one real subtlety): the walkers historically bake the document's own flags into terminal reference elements even when a level's flags are None — and that is deliberately load-bearing for immutable-but-transferable types (DPNS username sales, NFT purchases, document transfers), whose reference bytes must refund the previous owner on transfer. So no walker behavior changes at all: retag_ephemeral, the single point every TTL'd-subtree operation already passes through, strips element flags (and RefreshReference flags) instead. Standing levels keep their historical flag behavior byte-for-byte; TTL levels never hold a flagged element, so their removals can never turn sectioned/refundable.

Frozen pre-1.4 wire struct: FeeVersionFieldsBeforeVersion4 — the decoder for platform states stored before 1.4 — embedded the live FeeStorageVersion, so the new fee field would have shifted that frozen format and broken deserialization of old stored states. It now embeds its own FeeStorageVersionFieldsBeforeVersion4 (the five fields every pre-4.2 release serialized), converting into the live struct with a zero TTL rate.

Why drainage itself stays unbilled: the estimation dry run cannot read state and therefore cannot price state-dependent drainage — billing it only on execution would break estimated >= actual. The unbilled work is bounded (a capped count of O(1) drops plus a few bounded reads), and the no-refunds property is what TTL writers collectively pre-pay it with.

How Has This Been Tested?

Lifecycle e2e (ttl_drops_expired_buckets_and_walkers_skip_them): drop on write past the horizon; the strictly-below boundary (a bucket starting exactly at the horizon survives); catch-up; delete-after-drop; update lifecycles; ranked per-window leaderboards riding along (live windows keep serving, dropped windows take their secondaries with them).
Partial-drain e2e (ttl_partial_drain_resumes_across_writes_and_removals_stay_exact): five groups exceed one write's budget; groups drain in key order; deletes from both a drained group (clean skip) and a standing group (normal removal) succeed mid-state; a later write finishes the bucket.
Shared-grid regression (ttl_shared_grid_drains_once_per_write): four countable indexes on one grid, ordered so the first-iterated index's property tree drains last — reproduces the per-index-drain InvalidPath failure pre-fix; also pins one-budget-per-write by asserting the 13-op bucket survives the first 8-op write.
Delete-only regression (ttl_delete_only_write_drains_expired_buckets): two documents in one expired bucket; deleting one past the horizon takes the whole bucket.
Fee reclassification (ttl_index_bytes_bill_to_processing_without_refunds): a TTL'd contract, its standing twin (identical minus ttl), and an index-free twin, all receiving the same document with owner-carrying flags — TTL insert storage fee exactly equals the index-free contract's (index bytes contribute zero storage); processing strictly exceeds the standing twin's; TTL delete refunds exactly equal the index-free contract's, strictly below the standing twin's; estimation stays an upper bound in both classes through the split batch. Plus ttl_draining_write_never_exceeds_its_estimate for the estimate invariant under drainage.
Refund-preservation sweep: the full non-shielded drive-abci nextest suite (2,552 tests — DPNS username sales, NFT purchases, document transfers, exact PV11-14 fee baselines, and the stored-testnet-state deserialization test all green) plus the full drive lib suite (3,565); dpp index (328), drive time-range (36) / ranked (111) / having (41), drive-abci time-range proof suite (20); cargo check --all-targets and clippy clean across all touched crates.

Breaking Changes

None for consensus on any released network — everything sits inside PV14's still-unreleased meta-schema v3 grammar (the fee rate is unreadable below it), and the grovedb capability is fail-closed below GROVE_V4 (exactly PV14's grove version). v0 walker behavior is preserved verbatim for historical replay.

…act semantics Windowed index data is intrinsically ephemeral, but every entry paid perpetual-retention storage prices and nothing ever cleaned expired windows up. A timeRange index can now declare `ttl` (seconds): "timeRange": { "on": "$createdAt", "range": 3600, "step": 3600, "ttl": 604800 } Design doc: book/src/drive/time-range-ttl.md. grovedb dependency (O(1) detach-and-sweep drop) specified in dashpay/grovedb#848 and placeholder-implemented via the recursive element delete (correct — it sweeps nested subtrees and indexed axes — wrong cost class until the primitive lands). Grammar and validation: `ttl` joins the meta-schema v3 timeRange map and parses into the transform, deliberately excluded from the grid identity (a TTL never forks the storage level; grid matching stays (range, step, phase)). Structural bound `ttl >= range` at index parse (a window still able to receive consensus-timestamped writes can never expire); versioned cap at the document-type level (SystemLimits::max_time_range_ttl_seconds, one week — the cap is what makes flat ephemeral-bytes pricing honest); and indexes sharing a grid on one field must share the TTL — one storage level cannot carry two lifecycles. SYSTEM_LIMITS_V5 supersedes the never-released V4 (file removed), adding the cap and the per-write drop cap (4). Cleanup rides the bucket-creating write: when the insert walker creates a bucket that did not exist and the transform declares a TTL, the same transaction drops expired buckets — oldest first, strictly below the horizon (block_time - ttl), capped per write (SystemLimits::max_time_range_expired_bucket_drops_per_write). Steady state is one-for-one; the cap amortizes catch-up after quiet spells. Walker-exact removal semantics, one definition each (drive/document/time_range_ttl.rs): - writes never target expired buckets — the update walker filters its new entry keys through the shared live-keys filter, so updating a document whose windows all expired leaves it without entries under the TTL'd index and never resurrects a dropped bucket; - removals touch an expired bucket only while it still stands — the delete walker and the update walker's old-entry loop consult a deterministic existence check, so a document whose buckets were dropped deletes cleanly, and one whose expired bucket still stands is cleaned normally rather than left dangling until the drop; - expiry has one definition, TimeRangeTransform::expiry_horizon_ms, shared by the filters, the removability check and the drop. Block time threads through the insert and delete walker chains from the BlockInfo their public entry points already carry. Lifecycle e2e (rs-drive): drop on bucket creation; the strictly-below horizon boundary (a bucket starting exactly at the horizon survives); catch-up on a later write; delete-after-drop and update lifecycles; ranked per-window leaderboards riding along (live windows keep serving, dropped windows take their secondaries with them). Plus the contract-level rejections (cap, shared-grid TTL conflict) and the parse-level lower bound. Not in this change (next): the ephemeral-bytes fee reclassification — billing TTL'd subtree bytes to processing instead of storage, with no storage flags and no refunds — which is what turns the cleanup into the cheap-likes economics the design doc describes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…, budgeted deepest-first, full-path removal granularity Replaces the recursive-delete placeholder with the primitive that landed for dashpay/grovedb#848 (grovedb PR #849): the flat-subtree drop — O(1) consensus removal of a subtree declared to hold no child subtrees, with a durable redo record staged atomically (outside the root hash) naming every orphaned storage prefix (the subtree's own plus, for indexed primaries, the three per-axis secondaries), reclaimed outside consensus via range tombstones. Pin bumped to the PR head. A time-range bucket is not flat, so drainage works DEEPEST-FIRST, one flat unit at a time: each group's [0] reference tree (where the mass lives) is flat-dropped; the emptied group value tree leaves through the flat drop — or, under a ranked property-name tree, through grovedb's dedicated indexed-tree delete, which mirrors the group out of the ranking secondary (grovedb rejects generic child removals from indexed primaries, on the immediate path too); the drained property-name tree is flat-dropped, dooming its secondary prefixes; the emptied bucket last. Every step is O(1) — the step COUNT is what scales with the window's distinct groups, and that count is the budget. The trigger broadens from bucket-creating writes to EVERY write into a TTL'd index: one bucket-creation per step could never drain a window whose group count exceeds a single budget. Each write resumes exactly where the previous budget ran out (the drain is stateless — it re-finds the oldest expired bucket and its first remaining group); when nothing is expired the check is one bounded range read. The SystemLimits cap is renamed accordingly (max_time_range_ttl_drop_operations_per_write, 8). Partial drainage forces the removal walkers from bucket granularity to FULL-PATH granularity: a delete (or key-changing update) of a document whose group trees the drain already took inside a still-standing bucket skips exactly that entry (walked existence checks from the document-type path, so a missing intermediate answers false instead of erroring), while a document whose trees still stand is removed normally — an undrained expired bucket never carries dangling references. The skip flag threads through the delete recursion and is set only on the stateful path for expired-and-standing buckets; live buckets behave byte-identically to before. Host duties land in drive-abci: flush_pending_prefix_drops after each finalized block's commit (the drops' redo records become visible there) and once at platform open, completing reclamation a crash interrupted. Both are outside consensus — failures log and retry, the root hash is never involved. New coverage: the partial-drain e2e pins the resume behavior (five groups exceed one budget; groups drain in key order; deletes from both drained and standing groups succeed mid-state; a later write finishes the bucket), alongside the adapted lifecycle e2e now running against the real primitive. Design doc updated to the shipped shape. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Moves the pin from grovedb PR #849's head to the develop merge commit, so it no longer references a deletable PR branch. No code changes; the TTL drainage, ranked, and time-range batteries all pass on the merged rev. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

End-to-end validation and dependency updates `packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/insert/add_document_for_contract/time_range_index_e2e_tests.rs`, `packages/*/Cargo.toml`	Adds lifecycle, drainage, shared-grid, deletion, and fee-accounting tests. Updates pinned GroveDB revisions.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 26dc2

This PR adds lazy TTL cleanup and changes TTL-index bytes to ephemeral processing charges. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness that public operation APIs do not yet prove TTL provenance and that a legacy batch path can mishandle unexpected ephemeral operations, which could cause incorrect fee accounting or operation loss if those paths are reached.

1301-1303: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the literal 4 with the derived prefix length.

4 must equal the length of contract_document_type_path, because expired_entry_path_exists treats path_segments[..known_prefix_len] as a prefix that is known to exist. The relation is not stated at this call site, so a future change to the document-type path shape would silently read against a path that may not exist.

The check also repeats work. time_range_entry_is_removable above already reads the bucket key under base_index_path, and expired_entry_path_exists reads that same key again plus the top-level property tree, which contract registration guarantees. Passing base_index_path.len() removes both redundant reads and states the invariant.

Preliminary review — GLM Flash blocker gate

The TTL grammar and bounded drainage are generally well structured, but execution-only drainage violates the repository's required fee-estimation upper-bound invariant: validation can approve a transition whose actual execution costs more. I also confirmed stale expired-window query results, an incomplete expired-entry path check, several test gaps, and documentation that describes deferred behavior as shipped. Source: Codex phase1 reviewer lanes (exact backend model identifiers were not supplied in the evidence); Codex final verifier (exact backend model identifier was not supplied).

Source: reviewer 1: glm-5.3-flash (agent: phase1-reviewer, role: general); reviewer 2: glm-5.3-flash (agent: phase1-reviewer, role: security-auditor); reviewer 3: glm-5.3-flash (agent: phase1-reviewer, role: rust-quality); final verifier: gpt-5.6-sol (agent: sol-verifier, role: verifier)

Validated blockers were found by the Phase-1 GLM Flash review and confirmed by a fresh Sol verifier. Phase 2 is deferred until a fresh same-head revalidation clears the blocker gate.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/insert/add_indices_for_top_index_level_for_contract_operations/v2/mod.rs`:
- [BLOCKING] packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/insert/add_indices_for_top_index_level_for_contract_operations/v2/mod.rs:254-280: Fee estimation omits the TTL drainage costs charged during execution
  The drainage block runs only when `estimated_costs_only_with_layer_info.is_none()`. Consequently, `validate_fees_of_event` calls `apply_drive_operations(..., false, ...)` without pricing the bounded range read, recursive walk reads, or up to eight flat-drop operations, while execution calls the same operation with `apply = true` and includes all of those cost-tracked operations. This violates the required `estimated >= actual` fee invariant: a transition can pass the balance check and then create negative identity credit when the actual fee is deducted. Price a bounded worst-case drainage allowance in estimation mode, or otherwise make estimation account for the same maximum read/drop work, and add an estimate-versus-actual test for a write that drains an expired bucket.

In `book/src/drive/time-range-ttl.md`:
- [SUGGESTION] book/src/drive/time-range-ttl.md:1-7: The committed design document presents deferred fee behavior as implemented
  This file explicitly identifies itself as a design document, which the repository guidelines prohibit committing as a shipped artifact. It also marks the entire design as implemented even though the PR description explicitly defers ephemeral-byte fee reclassification; lines 33-36 and 171-177 claim TTL bytes already bill to processing without storage flags or refunds, and line 191 claims the fee constant is in the PV14 table. Remove the working design artifact, or convert it into durable user/developer documentation and clearly mark the fee model as planned rather than implemented. The same deferred-fee claim in the meta-schema's `ttl` description must be corrected as well.
- [SUGGESTION] book/src/drive/time-range-ttl.md:37-39: Documentation incorrectly limits drainage to writes that create a new bucket
  The implementation calls `drain_expired_time_range_buckets` on every stateful write into a TTL index, including writes to an already-existing live bucket. These lines instead say drainage is triggered by the write that creates a new bucket, and the contract-facing description in `document-meta.json` repeats that narrower trigger. Align both descriptions with the actual deterministic behavior: every write into the TTL index continues bounded, resumable drainage.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/query/mod.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/query/mod.rs:893-914: Historic byStart queries still return expired buckets before lazy drainage
  `TimeRangeSelector::ByStart` validates only grid alignment and explicitly ignores `block_time_ms`; neither this resolver nor the downstream document, aggregate, ranked, or having executors compare the selected start with the transform's TTL horizon. Because cleanup is lazy—and an index with no later writes retains its final buckets indefinitely—a `byStart` query past the TTL horizon can still return and prove the expired data. This contradicts the declared at-most-TTL semantics and the documentation's promise that expired windows are provably empty. Use the authoritative committed block time already supplied to this resolver to short-circuit expired selections consistently across all query surfaces, with tests that advance time without performing a drainage-triggering write.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/delete/remove_reference_for_index_level_for_contract_operations/v1/mod.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/delete/remove_reference_for_index_level_for_contract_operations/v1/mod.rs:90-97: Expired-entry deletion checks the parent path but not the drained [0] subtree
  The existence walk checks only the current index/value path. For terminal and non-unique layouts, the code appends `[0]` later at lines 111 or 217. A budgeted drain can remove that flat `[0]` reference tree and stop before removing its now-empty value tree, leaving every segment checked here present while the subsequent delete targets a missing subtree. This is not a concurrent race—the partially drained state can persist from an earlier write—but it can still make a valid delete construct an operation against a missing path. Check the `[0]` subtree after selecting a layout and before deleting, and add a regression where the drainage budget ends immediately after dropping `[0]`. Checking the individual member key is unnecessary because drainage removes the whole subtree rather than individual members.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/insert/add_document_for_contract/time_range_index_e2e_tests.rs`:
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/insert/add_document_for_contract/time_range_index_e2e_tests.rs:2010-2058: The lifecycle test never updates the document whose bucket was dropped
  The test discards the `bravo` document, confirms its bucket was dropped, and then creates and updates a new live `echo` document. It therefore does not exercise the behavior claimed by the comments and test-level documentation. Retain `bravo` and update it after its bucket is gone, asserting that the update succeeds and does not recreate the bucket. That covers `live_time_range_entry_keys` and the update walker's expired-bucket skip paths; keep the existing live update as a separate control.
- [SUGGESTION] packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/insert/add_document_for_contract/time_range_index_e2e_tests.rs:2236-2278: TTL drainage tests cover only the count-indexed parent layout
  Both TTL lifecycle tests use `rangeCountable` plus `rankedCountable`, so drainage reaches the `ProvableCountIndexedTree` deletion arm. There is no TTL drainage test for a plain parent using the flat-drop fallback, a `ProvableSumIndexedTree`, or a `ProvableCountProvableSumIndexedTree`. These arms invoke different GroveDB removal primitives and maintain different secondary aggregates. Add representative TTL tests that expire and drain each supported parent layout, then verify both the bucket's absence and the surviving live aggregates.

In `packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/v14.rs`:
- [NITPICK] packages/rs-platform-version/src/version/v14.rs:226: PV14 comment states a drop cap of four while the configured limit is eight
  `SYSTEM_LIMITS_V5` sets `max_time_range_ttl_drop_operations_per_write` to 8, but this authoritative version-table comment says 4. Correct the annotation so future protocol-version edits do not rely on the wrong consensus limit.

In `packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/document_type/index/mod.rs`:
- [NITPICK] packages/rs-dpp/src/data_contract/document_type/index/mod.rs:2192-2196: TTL lower-bound error message contains embedded whitespace runs
  Manual wrapping inserted long runs of spaces into the user-visible error text around the window length and the word `writes`. Use Rust string continuations so logs and client-facing validation errors render normally.

In `packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/update/internal/update_document_for_contract_operations/v1/mod.rs`:
- [NITPICK] packages/rs-drive/src/drive/document/update/internal/update_document_for_contract_operations/v1/mod.rs:1301-1304: Expired-path checks duplicate the document path height as a literal
  The same path-layout invariant is already represented by `CONTRACT_DOCUMENTS_PATH_HEIGHT`, which this module uses for the subsequent pruning stop height. Using a separate literal `4` here and in the delete walker creates two extra sites that must remain synchronized with the root layout.

…ant; review fixes Addresses the first review batch on #4581. The blocker: drainage ran only on the stateful path while billing its costs to the triggering write, so validation's estimate (which cannot read state and therefore cannot price state-dependent drainage) could undershoot the actual fee — the estimated >= actual invariant the balance check depends on. Drainage and the walkers' TTL bookkeeping reads now accumulate into scratch accounting and never bill the user: bounded, capped system maintenance, with the planned ephemeral-bytes rate as where TTL writers pre-pay it in aggregate. Pinned by a new estimate-vs-actual regression on a write that drains an expired bucket. Correctness fixes from the batch: - the expired-entry existence walk now includes the [0] segment for the layouts that store references inside one (indexOnly terminal, non-unique, contested, null): the drain drops the flat [0] tree BEFORE its value tree, and a budget boundary between the two left every shallower segment standing while the delete targeted the missing subtree. Regression drives the drain with budget 1 and deletes through the half-drained state. - the drain's bucket finder restricts its range to 8-byte keys and widens its result limit, so low-sorting non-bucket keys can never fill every slot and stall drainage (unreachable under today's system-timestamp-only sources; the guard keeps the finder live if a future grammar admits raw keys). - existence-walk prefixes are derived (document-type path + grid level, both registration-created) instead of a bare literal. Test-coverage fixes: - the lifecycle test now actually updates the document whose windows were dropped (its comments claimed coverage the code did not provide) and asserts the dropped bucket is not resurrected; - a parent-layout matrix drains through all four node-removal arms: flat-drop under a plain property-name tree and the three dedicated indexed-tree deletes (count / sum / count+sum). Documentation fixes: the book page is reframed from a design document into an architecture reference; the ephemeral-bytes fee model is marked planned rather than shipped (page and meta-schema ttl description); the drainage trigger reads every-write everywhere; expired-window visibility during the bounded drainage lag is documented ("at most ttl plus lag"); the PV14 table comment states the real drop cap (8, not 4).

… expired-walk prefix from CONTRACT_DOCUMENTS_PATH_HEIGHT Second review batch on #4581: the ttl-below-range error text carried literal space runs from collapsed line continuations, and the expired-entry walk's known-prefix length repeated the document path height as a bare literal instead of deriving it from the constant the same module already uses for its pruning stop height.

The v1 update walker's bucketed branch now runs the same bounded, unbilled drainage the v2 insert walker does — every write into a TTL'd index continues draining, exactly as documented, so an index receiving only updates cannot strand its expired buckets. Drainage runs first, keeping the update's own old-entry removal coherent when the drain takes the bucket those entries lived in. Pinned by a regression where the only write after expiry is an update.

The outside-diff finding (v1 update walker not draining) is fixed in 141b9c2: the bucketed update branch now runs the same bounded, unbilled drainage as the insert walker — every write into a TTL'd index continues draining, as documented — with a regression where the only write after expiry is an update. Drainage runs before the update's own entry work so the old-entry removal stays coherent when the drain takes the bucket those entries lived in.

…ill to processing, no flags, no refunds Bytes written under a TTL'd timeRange index are intrinsically ephemeral (capped at one week of life), so they no longer bill at the perpetuity storage rate. The walkers classify every operation under a TTL'd sub-level as ephemeral: routed into a second grovedb batch (LowLevelDriveOperation::EphemeralGroveOperation), whose captured cost is consumed on its own terms — added bytes bill to processing at FeeStorageVersion::ttl_ephemeral_disk_usage_credit_per_byte (FEE_STORAGE_VERSION2: 270 credits/byte, 1% of the storage rate, ~27x a pro-rata week of retention) with a zero storage-fee contribution. Elements under the TTL'd level carry no storage flags, so removal — the TTL drain or a user delete/update — is basic removal with no refund entries; a sectioned removal surfacing in an ephemeral batch is a CorruptedCodeExecution. Estimation routes through the same split, keeping estimated >= actual in both fee classes. Wired through FEE_VERSION3 in PV14, which keeps fee_version_number: 1 — the persisted number tags the refund algorithm, which is unchanged (FEE_VERSION2 precedent). The insert reference walker gains a v1 (drive document method versions v4, PV14-only) where the terminal reference element takes the flags the walker passed down instead of always copying the document's own — v0's behavior diverges exactly when a level decides its elements are flagless (immutable doctypes historically; TTL'd sub-levels now), and is kept verbatim for replay. The v1 update walker rebuilds its prebuilt reference flagless on the ephemeral branch for the same reason. Test: a TTL'd contract, its standing twin, and an index-free twin — insert storage fee under TTL exactly equals the index-free contract's (index bytes contribute zero storage), processing strictly exceeds the standing twin's, delete refunds exactly match the index-free contract's (owner-carrying flags on the standing twin produce the refunds the TTL side must not), and estimation stays an upper bound in both classes.

Two actionable findings from a focused review of the TTL lifecycle and shared-grid behavior.

…delete-only writes Review fixes. Drainage moves into one deduplicated sweep (drain_expired_time_range_levels) over a document type's TTL'd levels, run BEFORE any batch mutation is queued: - The update walker drained per *index*, but indexes sharing a grid share one physical level, so a later index's direct drain could drop paths an earlier index's queued removals targeted (InvalidPath at batch apply) while spending up to index_count budgets per write. Reproduced and regression-tested with four countable indexes sharing $createdAt#7200#7200, ordered so the first-iterated index's property-name tree drains last. - The delete walker never drained at all, so an index receiving only deletions violated the documented every-write cleanup rule. Regression: two documents in one expired bucket, deleting one past the horizon must take the whole bucket. The sweep runs before the delete walker's expired/standing detection and the update walker's removable checks, so both see post-drain state. Insert keeps its per-sub-level placement: the top-level loop already iterates deduplicated levels, and each level's drain precedes its own queued operations while other levels' paths are disjoint.

Assert the partial-drain state between the two updates.

The final assertion proves only that the bucket is gone after two writes. A per-index drain (four budgets per write) would also satisfy it, because the bucket would already be gone after the first update. The claim in the assertion message, that exactly two budgets are needed, is therefore not verified by state.

Add an existence check after the first update to pin the one-budget-per-write property.

Make the equality test distinguish the new field.

Both fixtures set ttl_ephemeral_disk_usage_credit_per_byte to 6. The assertion passes even if a manual equality implementation ignores this field. Give the fixtures different TTL rates and assert inequality, or add a dedicated inequality case.

… reference walker; freeze the pre-1.4 storage fee wire struct Two regressions the full test sweep caught in the fee reclassification: 1. The v1 reference walker ("terminal reference takes the walker's flags") zeroed refunds for immutable-but-transferable document types (DPNS username sales, NFT purchases, document transfers): their walkers pass None flags — the flag gate predates transferability — but their references genuinely need owner flags so a transfer or purchase refunds the previous owner's bytes. The walker version is reverted (v0 stays the only version); ephemeral levels get their flagless elements in retag_ephemeral instead, the single choke point every TTL'd-subtree operation already passes through — element flags (and RefreshReference flags) are stripped there, so standing levels keep their historical flag behavior byte-for-byte and TTL levels still never produce refundable storage. The TTL fee test's exact identities (storage == index-free twin, refunds == index-free twin) still hold. 2. Adding ttl_ephemeral_disk_usage_credit_per_byte to FeeStorageVersion changed the frozen pre-1.4 platform-state wire format, because FeeVersionFieldsBeforeVersion4 embedded the live struct — old stored states failed to deserialize (bincode UnexpectedEnd; caught by should_deserialize_state_stored_in_version_0_from_testnet). The frozen mirror now has its own FeeStorageVersionFieldsBeforeVersion4 (the 5 fields every pre-4.2 release serialized), converting into the live struct with a zero TTL rate. Full sweeps green: drive 3565, drive-abci 2552/2552 (nextest, non-shielded). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…YSTEM_LIMITS_V4 instead of superseding it with a V5 V4 has never shipped (PV14 is unreleased), so the two TTL fields join it in place — no v1/v2/v3/v5 numbering gap, and a smaller diff against the base table. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

… tables The ephemeral-bytes rate is dead below PV14 — the ttl grammar does not parse there, so no ephemeral-classified operation can exist to read it — which means carrying 270 in the one storage table changes no released behavior and PV14 can keep FEE_VERSION2. Drops the FEE_VERSION3 / FEE_STORAGE_VERSION2 ceremony; the pricing rationale moves to the field comment in the shared table. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…ain budget to 32 Expired windows drain lazily, so a byStart query addressing one could observe a mid-drainage window — a truncated answer that looks authoritative. The resolver now rejects any start past the expiry horizon, using the drain's own strictly-below predicate: since drainage only ever touches expired buckets, every window the resolver admits is complete, and the drainage lag becomes purely internal. The gate runs in resolve_time_range_bucket_clause, which both the server (committed block time) and the verifier (quorum-signed response time_ms) resolve through — a node cannot serve an expired window's remnants past a verifying client. Windows without a ttl are untouched, as are the relative selectors (ttl >= range already keeps them off expired windows). Also raises max_time_range_ttl_drop_operations_per_write from 8 to 32. The budget-boundary tests now size their fixtures off the limit instead of hard-coding op counts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
