📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe persisted runtime now converts durability failures into terminal lifecycle errors, awaits persistence receipts, and rejects stale work. Electric collections preserve pending state and report active commit failures. Tests cover durability, publication ordering, lifecycle isolation, recovery, and replay filtering.

Preserve the transaction generation when recording failures.
cleanup() advances the lifecycle without waiting for the mutex task or the persistence adapter. If an old transaction's adapter write rejects after restart, applyCommittedTx and this catch call markTerminalFailure with the current generation. This can mark the replacement lifecycle terminal. Pass the originating generation through applyCommittedTx and use it in both failure calls.

Mark only metadata writes that affect the merged result.
When list merges pending publication transactions, a newer transaction can overwrite an older write for the same key. This branch still marks both transactions as dependencies. If the older transaction later aborts, shouldFailStopOnAbort can mark the collection terminal even though the list result contains only the newer value. Track the newest pending write for each matching key and mark only its owning transaction as a dependency.

This makes SQLite-persisted collections fail-stop when hydration, publication, or durability fails, and prevents asynchronous work from an old lifecycle from affecting a restarted collection. Electric source transactions also retain row-presence state across callbacks, so persisted data and resume metadata remain a coherent durable prefix.
Root cause
The persistence wrapper did not carry one ownership token through every asynchronous boundary. Buffered sync transactions, coordinator messages, gap recovery, local mutation hooks, and reset/reload work could therefore continue after cleanup and act through replacement controls. Several internal collection commits were also treated as fire-and-forget, so rejected
SyncAppliedReceipts did not reach the collection error channel and dependent work could begin before publication settled.Two narrower races compounded that behavior:
ApplyMutexreserved its queue only after starting the first task, allowing a synchronous publication callback to enqueue and run a sibling out of FIFO order.Gap recovery also caught failures from applying a successful
pullSinceresponse as though the transport request itself had failed, incorrectly falling back to reload instead of entering the terminal error path.Approach
PersistenceDurabilityError, preserving the originalcauseand available stringcodeandpath.markErrorchannel.begin({ immediate: true })when a transaction is buffered and replayed.pullSincetransport rejection; successful-response application failures now fail-stop.Key invariants
Non-goals
Trade-offs
Fail-stop behavior is intentionally stricter than logging and continuing: once the baseline or durable prefix is uncertain, the collection enters
errorand requires lifecycle recovery. Lifecycle fencing may abandon stale continuations after their underlying adapter call has already been dispatched; it prevents cross-owner publication but does not pretend that an in-flight storage operation can be cancelled.The recovery catch is correspondingly narrow. A transport rejection may use the established full-reload fallback, but a failure while applying an accepted response is not recoverable as a network miss and is surfaced instead.
Verification
The retained fixed witnesses and generated histories were written RED and made GREEN unchanged. Independent loss audits reconciled all 22 WS4 oracle items and all 57 prep-PR review items.
