📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe persistence protocol now routes complete committed transactions through per-collection owners. Browser and Electron coordinators support leader-aware replay, remote subset leases, recursive wire validation, deduplication, and named durability or indeterminate-commit errors.

Gate coordinator routing on remote subset support. registerRemoteSubsetOwner runs only when sourceResult.loadSubset exists. The sync contract allows it to be absent, but collection subscriptions can still call runtime.loadSubset. In a non-SingleProcessCoordinator, that path bypasses the upstream no-op callback and reaches requestEnsureRemoteSubset, which throws no remote subset owner registered. The active subset remains queued for repeated retries.
Track whether a remote subset owner was registered and route through the coordinator only when one exists.

Retry retained remote-subset demand after replay transport or admission failures.
When replayRemoteSubsetAcquisitions calls acquireRemoteSubset, a follower transport or remote-owner admission failure clears inFlight and leaves acquiredLeaderId pointing to the previous leader. The catches at these four sites then absorb the failure. The recursive replay runs only after a successful acquisition, so no retry is scheduled. After leadership loss unloads the old lease, the retained demand can remain inactive for an unbounded period until new demand or another ownership change invokes acquisition.
The remote-subset contract requires retained demand to remain eligible for normal retry after these failures. Add a bounded automatic retry at all four sites, limited to transport or admission failures. Cancel pending retries when the acquisition is released or the coordinator is disposed. Preserve owner-operation failures as reported lifecycle failures rather than silently retrying them.

Enforce crash-only, per-collection persistence coordination across the shared SQLite core, Browser, and Electron runtimes. Custom coordinators now fail during configuration if they cannot route complete committed transactions, and multiprocess writes, subset leases, transport values, and durability failures have explicit lossless contracts.
Root cause
The persistence boundary had grown several partial paths independently: rich source commits could fall back to row-only mutation routing, remote subset requests exposed live values to structured-clone transport, ownership was not represented as an exact lease, and response-loss retries did not require a known stable leader route. Some asynchronous owner failures also escaped the lifecycle channel or were misclassified as conflicts. Together those paths could acknowledge incomplete work, route work to the wrong collection owner, duplicate an indeterminate mutation, or leave the only durability failure unobservable.
Approach
requestApplyCommittedTxa required coordinator invariant and validate untyped coordinators once during collection configuration.PersistedTxvalues through the elected adapter for the exact collection in Browser, Electron, and single-process operation.RemoteSubsetWireValueErrorand an exact value path.IndeterminateCommitErrorbefore sending work to another or unknown leader.PersistedCollectionDurabilityError/PERSISTENCE_ERROR, preserve safe cause metadata, and move the collection through its existing error lifecycle after publication.Key invariants
Non-goals
Trade-offs
This deliberately narrows and strengthens the public coordinator and wire contracts. Existing custom coordinators must implement complete committed-transaction routing, and values outside the documented structured-clone-safe domain now fail at admission instead of being partially transported. The added implementation and oracle weight buys explicit failure boundaries, exact ownership, and replay behavior that can be verified without relying on runtime-specific cloning accidents.
Verification
Final audited results: Core 108/108, Browser 140/140, Electron 64/64, Electric 463/463. The coordinator oracle also passes 20/20 across 12 runs at seed
