fix(tier 2): eleven defects, plus the Postgres stores that make scope: 'shared' deployable - #291
Merged

…shared limit stores
Eleven defects plus the two Postgres-backed stores that make a fleet-wide rate
limit deployable. Every test confirmed failing on the parent commit first, with
the observed wrong value recorded.
Three of these produced a green test suite over a production miss — the worst
shape a framework defect takes, because the app author has done nothing wrong
and has no signal:
- `arrayOf(json(...))` and `arrayOf(bytes())` were legal declarations that lost
the data. `arrayElement` rendered any object as `''`, so a `jsonb[]`/`bytea[]`
column reached Postgres as `{"",""}` — while `memoryRepo` kept the value, so
every test passed. Both element kinds are now refused at declaration; neither
tracked app used either. `describe.ts`'s "total in practice" claim about
element encoding is deleted, because it was the false premise.
- The memory driver matched NULL rows on `gt`/`gte`/`lt`/`lte`/`like` where
Postgres never does: `compareByKind` fell through to `String(left)` vs
`String(right)`, comparing the literal text `"null"`. `eq`/`neq`/`in` are
correct and unchanged — they compile to `is null` / `is distinct from`. The
guard sits in `matchesPredicate`, not `compareByKind`, because the latter also
sorts a page, where NULLs must order rather than vanish.
- The audit's own `lt`/`lte` claim was half wrong and a test written from its
wording would have been vacuous: on an integer column `lt seats 5` already
answered correctly by accident, since `"null" > "5"` lexically. The real
failure needs a text column or a null operand. Both are now covered.
Three `fix:` lines emitted something the reader could not run — the defect class
axiom 4 exists to prevent. `policy`'s `forbidden()` emitted
`x policy explain and(post:publish, org:administer)`; `http`'s emitted
`x policy explain /settings`, a pathname the declaration index does not hold;
both answered `X_DECLARATION_UNKNOWN`. Worst, `X_PERMISSION_UNKNOWN` led with
"add 'billing:wirte' to definePermissions" — it told the caller to create their
own typo as a real permission. Nearest declared permission now comes first.
Four OAuth paths turned a coded refusal into an uncoded crash: `oauth-profile`,
`oauth-exchange`, `jwks` and `oauth-discovery` each rendered an injected
`fetch`'s rejection with `instanceof`, which throws on a hostile `Proxy`. All
four now use `renderThrowable`. Not named by any slice — found while fixing the
identical line in `@ultimat3/cache`.
Adds `postgresRateLimitStore` and `postgresAuthLimiter` over a structural
`PgExecutor` seam, so neither package acquires a driver dependency. To be exact
about what was wrong, because the audit described it backwards: the limiter did
NOT fail silently. `assertRateLimitScope` already refused a `'shared'`
declaration nothing could satisfy. It failed CLOSED — `scope: 'shared'` was
undeployable. The seams were already complete; only implementations were missing.
A live test against real Postgres caught a bug in the new store: the purge
statement used `extract(epoch from now())`, the server's clock, while `last_ms`
is written from the caller's. Against the frozen test clock that read a
20,000,000-second refill and deleted a bucket holding 0 of 4 tokens — the
cleanup task handing out free limit resets. Neither statement calls `now()`.
New code: `X_RATE_LIMIT_STORE_UNAVAILABLE` (500). A limiter that cannot read its
bucket has no safe assumption; guessing `allowed` hands the fleet-wide budget to
every replica at once.
`packages/http/src/errors.ts` was at 481 of 500 lines and the new code did not
fit, so the rate-limit refusals moved to `rate-limit-errors.ts`. Codes and titles
stay in `errors.ts` — `registerErrorCodes` must see them in one call.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/idea/20-large-app-readiness.md`:
- Line 104: Update the time-sensitive date in the documentation table entry to
the month-level format “As of 2026-08” instead of the day-specific “As of
2026-08-22”; leave the surrounding claims unchanged.
- Line 104: Update the “Many big servers” documentation row to remove the claim
of per-process rate-limit defaults and state that applications must explicitly
choose either process or shared scope. Preserve the existing details about
shared-store installation and assertRateLimitScope behavior.
In `@packages/auth/src/oauth-hostile-rejection.test.ts`:
- Around line 1-4: Move the hostile fetch-rejection regression cases from
oauth-hostile-rejection.test.ts into the corresponding jwks.test.ts,
oauth-discovery.test.ts, oauth-exchange.test.ts, and oauth-profile.test.ts
source test files, keeping each case beside the implementation path it covers.
- Around line 21-26: Update the hostile fixture returned by hostile() to avoid
constructing or throwing bare built-in errors: use the project’s coded
UltimateError fixture or another non-error hostile value, while preserving the
getPrototypeOf trap and its rejection-handling behavior.
In `@packages/auth/src/rate-limit-postgres.live.test.ts`:
- Around line 58-81: Move the PostgreSQL-backed suite using beforeAll and
afterAll, Bun.SQL, and SQL_AUTH_LIMIT_TABLES out of packages/auth test coverage
into the repository’s database or end-to-end test location. Keep packages/auth
tests database-free, using MemoryAdapter or a recording executor while
preserving their existing behavior.
In `@packages/auth/src/rate-limit-postgres.ts`:
- Around line 173-182: The recordFailure method must serialize failure insertion
and lock-threshold evaluation per key when using transaction-backed PgExecutor
instances. Update recordFailure and the relevant SQL statements to acquire a
PostgreSQL per-key lock before inserting/counting, ensuring concurrent outer
transactions cannot evaluate below maxAttempts before commits. Add a live
concurrency test that records failures in multiple transactions before any
transaction commits and verifies lockout occurs.
In `@packages/entity/src/columns-data.ts`:
- Around line 182-227: Move the array-refusal policy symbols RefusedElement,
ARRAY_ELEMENT_FIXES, isRefusedElement, and arrayElementRefused into a focused
adjacent module, then update columns-data.ts imports to use them while keeping
arrayOf() as the caller. Preserve the existing diagnostics, exported types, and
behavior, and reduce columns-data.ts to its column-parser responsibility.
- Around line 195-225: Update ARRAY_ELEMENT_FIXES and arrayElementRefused so
every fix value is an executable command or pasteable one-line repair with no
placeholders, including replacing the jsonb “<element schema>” text with a
concrete edit instruction. Update columns-data.test.ts to assert the complete
actionable repair text for money, array, jsonb, and bytea refusals.
In `@packages/http/CLAUDE.md`:
- Around line 291-293: Update the prose around assertRateLimitScope to replace
the ungrammatical chart declaration phrase with wording that says the
declaration required by a chart with replicas: 3 had no answer, preserving the
surrounding meaning.
In `@packages/http/README.md`:
- Around line 102-106: Update the load-bearing README date in the shared-store
description from “As of 2026-08-22” to the repository’s required “As of YYYY-MM”
format, using “As of 2026-08”.
In `@packages/http/src/rate-limit-errors.ts`:
- Around line 15-165: Update the rate-limit error factories rateLimited,
rateLimitNotShared, rateLimitBucketConflict, rateLimitBucketUnbound,
rateLimitScopeUnset, rateLimitStoreUnavailable, and rateLimitInvalid so
caller-facing cause and fix text is produced through the package translation
helper t(). Keep dynamic values and branch-specific data in meta or translation
parameters, and remove the hardcoded user-facing strings from the factory
definitions while preserving each error code and behavior.
- Around line 1-6: Shorten the header in rate-limit-errors.ts to at most four
lines describing its responsibility and rationale. Apply the same four-line
responsibility-and-rationale limit to rate-limit-postgres.ts. In
rate-limit-postgres.live.test.ts, move setup instructions into the README or
test body and retain only a concise header of four lines or fewer.
In `@packages/http/src/rate-limit-postgres.test.ts`:
- Around line 96-101: Update the reset() test setup to create a second distinct
key alongside resettable, invoke reset() for only the target key, and assert
afterward that the other key remains available. Keep the existing resettable-key
assertions intact so the test verifies selective deletion rather than
whole-table removal.
In `@packages/http/src/rate-limit-postgres.ts`:
- Around line 166-201: Update applySchema() to execute SQL_RATE_LIMIT_TABLE
during boot alongside SQL_JOBS_TABLE and SQL_IDEMPOTENCY_TABLE, ensuring the
rate-limit table exists before startWeb() can serve requests.
In `@packages/policy/src/nearest-permission.ts`:
- Around line 31-34: Move the duplicated nearest() edit-distance helper from
nearest-permission.ts and the CLI parse flow into `@ultimat3/core`, export it
explicitly, and update both callers to reuse the shared implementation while
preserving the existing cutoff behavior.
In `@wiki/Error-Codes.md`:
- Line 143: Update the X_RATE_LIMIT_NOT_SHARED entry to state that
assertRateLimitScope rejects an incompatible shared scope before startup,
preventing N-replica bucket multiplication rather than silently enforcing it.
Use the complete createServer recovery shape with routes and rateLimitStore,
matching the runtime contract in rate-limit-errors.ts.

Two blockers, both reproduced and both with a failing-first test: - `postgresAuthLimiter.recordFailure` could be raced past its threshold from a transaction. `PgExecutor` accepts a transaction handle and the insert and the sliding-window count are two statements, so two OUTER transactions each counted committed rows plus their own, both read one short of `maxAttempts`, and both committed — three failures, no lockout, on the credential path. The insert now takes `pg_advisory_xact_lock` on the key before the row lands. READ COMMITTED, documented functions only, one fixed lock order. - `x_rate_limit` was never created by the boot, so the first request a shared-limit deployment served died on a missing relation. `applySchema` applies `SQL_RATE_LIMIT_TABLE` with the other two, and `dev-queue.test.ts` asks `information_schema` rather than restating the list. Also: - `nearest()` existed twice (cli tier 5, policy tier 2, kept in agreement by hand). Both copies deleted; `nearestName` is in `@ultimat3/core` with its own test, and ten call sites read it. `@ultimat3/cli` keeps the exported name as a one-line delegation. - `arrayOf()`'s four refusals are complete one-line edits with no placeholder; the test asserts each whole string. - Array-refusal policy split out of `columns-data.ts` (250 → 204). - `reset()` proves a neighbouring bucket survives it, both live and unit. - Docs: month-level `As of`, the scope-is-not-a-default correction, the `X_RATE_LIMIT_NOT_SHARED` row, four-line headers, the stale "nothing in this package needs a database" line.
