fix(tier 3): the realtime barrel split, the idempotency reservation fence, and six more - #292
Conversation
…that lets an island build
Three breaking changes, six fixes, one hoist. The headline is that the hook this
framework tells you to write could not be bundled.
BREAKING — @ultimat3/realtime ships two entries, `.` and `./server`.
One barrel carried `useLive` beside `openNatsClient`, so an entry importing
ONLY the hook failed to build for the browser:
error: Browser build cannot require() Node.js builtin: "stream/web"
at node_modules/.bun/nats@2.29.3/node_modules/nats/lib/src/mod.js:49:33
Measured, and it corrects the audit's reason: the `sideEffects` array ALONE
fixes the build — declared, Bun shakes `nats` out of the single barrel. The
split is what makes "the client entry cannot reach the bus" a contract rather
than the bundler's discretion, since a namespace import or an `export *`
defeats tree-shaking. Both landed, each with its own test. The barrels are
disjoint, so which half a symbol lives in is checkable, not conventional.
BREAKING — IdempotencyStore.settle and fail take the reservation id.
Fenced on id AND state, copying SQL_ACK. Without it a straggler from a slow
first attempt overwrote a replacement reservation still in flight — and the
`fail` half was worse: a straggler's failure marked a live replacement
`failed`, so the replacement's own settle was then fenced out. The audit
named only `settle`; doing one and leaving the other would have left the
worse defect in a file being edited.
A store with the old two-parameter method still COMPILES and silently loses
the fence. The upgrade note says so.
BREAKING — SQL_CANCEL projects its columns instead of `returning *`.
The `select *` defect was 6 sites, not the 1 the audit found. All five other
whole-row reads feed `toJobRecord`, which does `Number(row.run_at)`, so against
a text-decoding PgExecutor `x jobs ls`, `x jobs show` and `x jobs cancel`
printed NaN for every timestamp. SQL_CLAIM had projected epoch ms all along —
the driver disagreed with itself. A source scan now keeps whole-row reads out.
Also fixed: a worker heartbeat outlived its run when setup threw (the beat
count still rose during a 60ms sleep after the throw); the offline queue re-sent
mutations acked mid-drain and over-reported `sent` — fixed by re-checking
membership rather than bumping the epoch, because an ack during a drain is the
ordinary case and bumping would abort every pass a prompt server answers; an
idempotency record with an unknown status was reported as a successful replay,
answering `{ value: null, replayed: true }` for a record written by a newer
build, which on a rolling deploy is the normal case; `sample-input` built its
sample as a plain literal, so a required field named `__proto__` was dropped and
replaced the prototype — the same class as the readiness-check bug in #288.
`or(allow('public'), can('x:y'))` answered 401 over HTTP while MCP and job
surfaces allowed it: `auth` was read off the root combinator alone. Now derived
by walking the tree, which is exact rather than heuristic — with no actor,
`can()` short-circuits before its predicate and `allow()`/`deny()` ignore their
arguments, so the tree alone decides.
That walk first landed as a byte-identical copy in `action` and `query`, which
are the same tier and may not import each other. It is hoisted to
@ultimat3/policy beside `policyPermissions` and reached through each package's
`policy-gate.ts` — restoring an invariant the copy had broken, since both
CLAUDE.md files say that file is the only one touching @ultimat3/policy. A
mutation in `policy` now reds tests in all three packages, which is the proof
the re-export is live.
New code: X_IDEMPOTENCY_STATUS_UNKNOWN (500, beside X_IDEMPOTENCY_REPLAYED_FAILURE
— deliberately not 503, which is reserved for the two codes carrying retry-after).

Inline comments:
In `@packages/action/README.md`:
- Line 466: Update the X_IDEMPOTENCY_STATUS_UNKNOWN remediation in the status
table to remove the instruction to delete idempotency rows; direct operators to
use a compatible deployment or migrate the status, then reconcile affected
requests while preserving their records.
- Around line 270-273: Date both load-bearing README claims with “As of
2026-07”: update the Bun.sql.query behavior claim at packages/action/README.md
lines 270-273 and the settlement-fencing guarantee at lines 307-311, without
changing their technical content.
Apply the same fix in `@packages/realtime/README.md` around lines 47 - 85.
Apply the same fix in `@packages/policy/README.md` around lines 87 - 105: Covers
the anonymous-admission and route-auth behavior contract.
In `@packages/action/src/errors-idempotency.ts`:
- Around line 25-28: Update the error definitions in errors-idempotency.ts,
including the branches around payload-mismatch and the other referenced entries,
so every fix value is a supported executable command rather than prose or a
TypeScript fragment. Move explanatory text into cause or docs, and preserve a
stable X_* code, cause, and exact fix command for each thrown error.
Apply the same fix in `@packages/action/src/idempotency.test.ts` around lines 158
- 162: Covers both constructed failures using `fix: 'none'`.
In `@packages/cli/src/realtime-browser-barrel.test.ts`:
- Around line 8-15: Import and execute the realtime-browser-probe-fixture module
from the test so Bun’s coverage runtime records it, while preserving the
existing Bun.build browser-bundle assertions in the test for the fixture.
In `@packages/jobs/CLAUDE.md`:
- Around line 570-575: Update the documented migrated-statement count in the
paragraph around PgExecutor and SQL_CANCEL from five to six, leaving the listed
statement names and surrounding explanation unchanged.
In `@packages/jobs/src/driver-pg-jobs-sql.ts`:
- Around line 1-9: Reduce the module header in driver-pg-jobs-sql.ts to no more
than four lines, retaining only its responsibility for shared whole-row x_jobs
projections and the reason they explicitly use epoch-millisecond timestamps to
keep job records numeric. Remove the importer, file-size,
implementation-history, and command-specific details while preserving the
why-focused explanation.
In `@packages/jobs/src/driver-pg-sql.test.ts`:
- Around line 15-23: Update the PG_SOURCES-based wildcard-projection guard in
driver-pg-sql.test.ts to discover or validate all production SQL source files,
including driver-pg-ddl.ts, so newly added sources cannot bypass enforcement;
also make the SQL matcher case-insensitive by adding the i flag.
In `@packages/policy/src/policy.ts`:
- Around line 247-307: Extract AnonymousOutcome, OUTCOME_BY_KIND,
anonymousOutcome, and the public admitsAnonymous projection into a focused
policy-anonymous module, then import and use that projection from policy.ts.
Keep policy construction and related types in policy.ts, preserve the exhaustive
kind handling and unauthenticated fallback, and ensure each file has a single
responsibility and remains under roughly 200 lines.
- Around line 244-245: Update the exported Policy contract and its construction
path so anonymous admission is represented explicitly and admitsAnonymous cannot
infer a false result from a caller-provided policy whose run method allows
anonymous access. Require and validate an anonymous-admission field for
externally constructed policies, or make Policy factory-only with a
non-forgeable brand if external construction is unsupported; keep
anonymousOutcome and admitsAnonymous consistent with the chosen contract.
In `@packages/realtime/src/barrel-split.test.ts`:
- Around line 20-26: Update the export-name parsing in the barrel test loop to
use the public alias after as when an export specifies one, while retaining the
original identifier when no alias exists. Ensure the runtime assertion compares
the exported public names so duplicate aliases across barrels are detected.

- import the browser probe fixture in realtime-browser-barrel.test.ts — Bun.build() reads it without evaluating it, so X_COVERAGE_UNMEASURED read the island's own probe as absent and lifted packages/cli's percentage - drop the "delete those rows" remediation for X_IDEMPOTENCY_STATUS_UNKNOWN: deleting frees the key to run an already-committed action a second time - discover the wildcard-projection guard's sources instead of listing them (driver-pg-ddl.ts was never in the list) and match SELECT * case-insensitively - parse the PUBLIC alias in barrel-split.test.ts — `X as Y` publishes Y, and recording X is how a cross-barrel duplicate type hides from both checks - extract admitsAnonymous into policy-anonymous.ts; policy.ts back under 250 lines, barrel export unchanged - make the idempotency conflict fixes paste-able calls, and the fix:'none' test fixtures a real instruction - correct the migrated-statement count (six, not five), cut the driver-pg-jobs-sql.ts header to four lines, date four load-bearing README claims, and suppress five intentional template-literal test fixtures Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
