CodeRabbit review of the commits pushed straight to main this session (6716df9..341d884), which went in without any pull request. 8 findings; 7 addressed, 1 skipped.

The one that matters

cursor_expired fired on valid cursors, on any multi-account instance.

The expiry check read MIN(cursor) for the calling user, but cursor is a single global AUTOINCREMENT sequence shared by every account. A user's own oldest event marks where they first wrote, not what the journal retained.

Alice writes events 1..100          → cursors 1..100
Bob (new) snapshots                 → latest_cursor = 0, he has no events
Bob writes his first event          → cursor 101 (global)
Bob GETs /sync/changes?after=0      → 0 < 101-1 → 409 cursor_expired

Bob is told to discard a healthy projection and re-snapshot, though nothing was ever purged. The floor is now the journal's own MIN(cursor).

No single-tenant test could see this — there the two numbers are the same. The regression test inserts a second account's event and asserts the newcomer is served; it was confirmed to fail against the previous per-user query.

Future per-user retention would need a stored floor, since surviving rows cannot distinguish "purged" from "never written". Recorded in RFC-003.

Also addressed

  • fetch_tracks bound the library before the user, against the documented rule that the first bind is always the user id (CLAUDE.md).
  • Three claims that my own changes had made false: a test comment and desktop-v2-integration-gap.md still said getOpenSubsonicExtensions returns an empty list, and that search3 filters in memory.
  • RFC-003 omitted the /api/v2 prefix on two paths.
  • The handoff called M4 both "complete" and "not closed". It is open: the server work is delivered, the gate waits on Desktop validation plus the Subsonic revalidation owed for FTS5 and the advertised extensions.

Skipped

Adding a second CODEOWNERS entry. That is an organisational decision on a single-maintainer repository, not a defect — and inventing a second owner would make the file lie.

Validation

cargo fmt --check, clippy -D warnings, 43 Rust tests, 28 web tests, biome check.

…user

CodeRabbit review of the commits pushed straight to main this session, which
had gone in without any pull request.

The cursor-expiry check read MIN(cursor) for the calling user, but `cursor` is
a single global AUTOINCREMENT sequence shared by every account. A user's own
oldest event therefore marks where they first wrote, not what the journal
retained. On a shared instance: Alice writes events 1..100, Bob snapshots at
cursor 0 with no events of his own, Bob's first event lands at 101, and Bob
asking for changes after 0 was told his valid cursor had expired — discarding a
healthy projection to re-snapshot for nothing.

Use the journal's own MIN(cursor). No single-tenant test could catch this, since
there the two numbers are equal; the regression test now inserts a second
account's event and asserts a newcomer is not expired. Verified it fails against
the previous per-user query.

This assumes future compaction trims the head for everyone. Per-user retention
would need a stored floor, because surviving rows cannot tell "purged" from
"never written" — recorded in RFC-003.

Also from the review:
- fetch_tracks bound the library before the user, against the documented rule
  that the first bind is always the user id.
- Three stale claims: a test comment and the integration-gap doc still said
  getOpenSubsonicExtensions returns an empty list and that search3 filters in
  memory; RFC-003 omitted the /api/v2 prefix on two paths.
- The handoff called M4 both complete and not closed. It is open: the server
  work is delivered, the gate waits on Desktop validation and the Subsonic
  revalidation owed for FTS5.

Skipped: adding a second CODEOWNERS entry. That is an organisational decision on
a single-maintainer repository, not a defect.

Second review pass on this branch.

Moving the retention floor to the journal's global MIN left the snapshot
watermark on a per-user MAX, and the two disagree in the one case that matters.
An account with no events of its own snapshots at cursor 0, which sits below the
floor once compaction exists, so /sync/changes refuses it, the client
re-snapshots, gets 0 again, and never progresses. Recovery from cursor_expired
would loop forever.

The watermark is now the journal's own MAX, read in the same transaction as the
rows so nothing committed after it is missed. Filtering by user still happens in
changes, so a global watermark only means "everything up to here is already in
this snapshot".

latest_cursor follows, because an ACK carries a cursor that came from a snapshot
or a change page — both global. Bounding it by the caller's own MAX would reject
the snapshot cursor of an account that has never written, which is exactly the
client that needs to acknowledge one. It still refuses a cursor the journal
never issued.

The socket keeps per-user semantics under latest_user_cursor: it exists to tell
a client its own state moved, and waking it on the global cursor would fire on
every other account's write, each false wake costing a /changes round trip that
returns nothing.

The first version of this test passed against the very bug it was meant to
cover, because the account it used still had a surviving event. It now uses a
third account with none — the only shape that loops — and was confirmed to fail
against the per-user watermark. The newcomer assertions also check the body
rather than the status alone, since a wrongly filtered query would return an
empty 200.

… the journal's

Third review pass on this branch.

The socket test proved nothing: at that point in the fixture no other account
had written, so the per-user and global cursors were the same number and either
implementation passed. Another account now writes last, and the test asserts the
notice carries this user's cursor and specifically not the journal's — confirmed
to fail when the socket falls back to latest_cursor().

That insertion made two neighbouring assertions inaccurate rather than wrong, so
both were tightened instead of relaxed: the isolation check now asserts the
other account sees its own event and only that, and the late-event check finds
its operation among the delivered changes rather than assuming it is alone.

The recovery test asserted only that the snapshot cursor was resumable, which
any number above the floor satisfies — including a per-user one clearing it by
luck on this fixture. It now asserts equality with the journal's high-water
mark.

Skipped: moving the floor and cursor queries into the database module.
src/sync.rs already holds eight SQL statements — event insertion, change pages,
ACK — so extracting three would leave an arbitrary split. The project rule
forbids SQL in handlers, not in a service module; a coherent move would take all
eight and is out of scope for a review fix.
