Whichever loses the race, the connection is handed the placeholder Promise from `createPendingDatabaseSubscription` instead. Both use sites got this wrong (harper-pro#622): the receive path called `.send()` on it (a `.send is not a function` per inbound message, every record in it dropped — 329k errors / 500MB of `hdb.log` in 8 minutes on a 12-node cluster), and `sendSubscriptionRequestUpdate` read `auditStore`/`dbisDB` off it, so `nodeId` was `undefined`, no `seq` cursor resolved, `startTime` fell back to `1` and the node **requested a full copy of every database on every restart while a current cursor sat on disk**. The two fixes are asymmetric because their requirements are: (a) the record path genuinely needs the resolved queue, so it waits (`awaitPendingSubscription`, bounded by `SUBSCRIPTION_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT` — nothing else watches a wedged `messageProcessing` chain, since the receive watchdog is reset by the very frames not being processed — and pausing socket intake for the wait, because blocking that chain does **not** stop `ws.on('message')` from appending closures that each retain a whole inbound frame, so a peer mid-copy would OOM the worker before the timeout fired; `PAUSE_STALL_THRESHOLD_MS` is floored above the timeout so the paused-liveness watchdog can't pre-empt the wait); (b) the handshake must **not** wait — an empty node bootstrapping a database it does not have locally would deadlock (the peer only sends `DB_SCHEMA` in response to a subscription request, and that schema is what creates the tables that resolve the placeholder) — so `resolveDatabaseStores` reads the stores off a local table instead, both being per-database (`rootStore.auditStore` / `rootStore.dbisDb`) with the subscription queue only a carrier. Empty stores then mean what `startTime === 1` always assumed: no local tables at all, i.e. a genuine bootstrap. Compare `readDbisCursorSync` (#476/#484) — same "`undefined` masquerades as no resume cursor → spurious full copy" failure, different source of the `undefined`. +14. **Transport liveness does not prove subscription setup completed.** On the sender, both the dynamic `hdb_nodes` authorization subscription and the database's internal subscription placeholder must resolve before `DB_SCHEMA` is sent and the replay loop starts. A never-settling promise used to leave that `(peer, db)` socket ping-alive forever with no application frames, no received-version/time, and no cursor movement (harper-pro#642). Both sender gates are now bounded by `SUBSCRIPTION_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT`; expiry logs the exact gate and closes transiently so the subscriber retries from its last durable cursor. Independently, the outbound receiver arms a one-shot **subscription-setup watchdog** after each non-empty `SUBSCRIPTION_REQUEST`. Ping/pong and `NODE_NAME` do not satisfy it; `DB_SCHEMA` for the requested database, `COPY_START`, `SEQUENCE_ID_UPDATE`, or a binary replication transaction do. Expiry calls `forceReconnect()` and includes the W1 truth snapshot, because the socket truth is legitimately connected — this is application-progress semantics, not a connection-truth failure. The watchdog is cancelled on close/unsubscribe and rearmed by a superseding request. Crucially, setup acknowledgement never advances the durable cursor: a zero receive timestamp is ambiguous for a healthy caught-up peer, and `SEQUENCE_ID_UPDATE` is cursor-mutating rather than a harmless ACK. + --- ## Tests diff --git a/replication/replicationConnection.ts b/replication/replicationConnection.ts index afd3845c2..fa98b6009 100644 --- a/replication/replicationConnection.ts +++ b/replication/replicationConnection.ts @@ -342,6 +342,15 @@ const STORAGE_IS_ROCKSDB = (process.env.HARPER_STORAGE_ENGINE || env.get(CONFIG_ // to 'close', etc.) this timer-based watchdog is the belt-and-suspenders that forces the // reconnect — see harper-pro#233. const RECEIVE_SILENCE_THRESHOLD_MS = PING_TIMEOUT; +// Application-level setup must complete after the transport handshake.

Whichever loses the race, the connection is handed the placeholder Promise from `createPendingDatabaseSubscription` instead. Both use sites got this wrong (harper-pro#622): the receive path called `.send()` on it (a `.send is not a function` per inbound message, every record in it dropped — 329k errors / 500MB of `hdb.log` in 8 minutes on a 12-node cluster), and `sendSubscriptionRequestUpdate` read `auditStore`/`dbisDB` off it, so `nodeId` was `undefined`, no `seq` cursor resolved, `startTime` fell back to `1` and the node **requested a full copy of every database on every restart while a current cursor sat on disk**. The two fixes are asymmetric because their requirements are: (a) the record path genuinely needs the resolved queue, so it waits (`awaitPendingSubscription`, bounded by `SUBSCRIPTION_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT` — nothing else watches a wedged `messageProcessing` chain, since the receive watchdog is reset by the very frames not being processed — and pausing socket intake for the wait, because blocking that chain does **not** stop `ws.on('message')` from appending closures that each retain a whole inbound frame, so a peer mid-copy would OOM the worker before the timeout fired; `PAUSE_STALL_THRESHOLD_MS` is floored above the timeout so the paused-liveness watchdog can't pre-empt the wait); (b) the handshake must **not** wait — an empty node bootstrapping a database it does not have locally would deadlock (the peer only sends `DB_SCHEMA` in response to a subscription request, and that schema is what creates the tables that resolve the placeholder) — so `resolveDatabaseStores` reads the stores off a local table instead, both being per-database (`rootStore.auditStore` / `rootStore.dbisDb`) with the subscription queue only a carrier. Empty stores then mean what `startTime === 1` always assumed: no local tables at all, i.e. a genuine bootstrap. Compare `readDbisCursorSync` (#476/#484) — same "`undefined` masquerades as no resume cursor → spurious full copy" failure, different source of the `undefined`. -14. **Transport liveness does not prove subscription setup completed.** On the sender, both the dynamic `hdb_nodes` authorization subscription and the database's internal subscription placeholder must resolve before `DB_SCHEMA` is sent and the replay loop starts.

Both sender gates are now bounded by `SUBSCRIPTION_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT`; expiry logs the exact gate and closes transiently so the subscriber retries from its last durable cursor. Independently, the outbound receiver arms a one-shot **subscription-setup watchdog** after each non-empty `SUBSCRIPTION_REQUEST`.

The two fixes are asymmetric because their requirements are: (a) the record path genuinely needs the resolved queue, so it waits (`awaitPendingSubscription`, bounded by `SUBSCRIPTION_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT` — nothing else watches a wedged `messageProcessing` chain, since the receive watchdog is reset by the very frames not being processed — and pausing socket intake for the wait, because blocking that chain does **not** stop `ws.on('message')` from appending closures that each retain a whole inbound frame, so a peer mid-copy would OOM the worker before the timeout fired; `PAUSE_STALL_THRESHOLD_MS` is floored above the timeout so the paused-liveness watchdog can't pre-empt the wait); (b) the handshake must **not** wait — an empty node bootstrapping a database it does not have locally would deadlock (the peer only sends `DB_SCHEMA` in response to a subscription request, and that schema is what creates the tables that resolve the placeholder) — so `resolveDatabaseStores` reads the stores off a local table instead, both being per-database (`rootStore.auditStore` / `rootStore.dbisDb`) with the subscription queue only a carrier. Empty stores then mean what `startTime === 1` always assumed: no local tables at all, i.e. a genuine bootstrap.

Whichever loses the race, the connection is handed the placeholder Promise from `createPendingDatabaseSubscription` instead. Both use sites got this wrong (harper-pro#622): the receive path called `.send()` on it (a `.send is not a function` per inbound message, every record in it dropped — 329k errors / 500MB of `hdb.log` in 8 minutes on a 12-node cluster), and `sendSubscriptionRequestUpdate` read `auditStore`/`dbisDB` off it, so `nodeId` was `undefined`, no `seq` cursor resolved, `startTime` fell back to `1` and the node **requested a full copy of every database on every restart while a current cursor sat on disk**. The two fixes are asymmetric because their requirements are: (a) the record path genuinely needs the resolved queue, so it waits (`awaitPendingSubscription`, bounded by `SUBSCRIPTION_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT` — nothing else watches a wedged `messageProcessing` chain, since the receive watchdog is reset by the very frames not being processed — and pausing socket intake for the wait, because blocking that chain does **not** stop `ws.on('message')` from appending closures that each retain a whole inbound frame, so a peer mid-copy would OOM the worker before the timeout fired; `PAUSE_STALL_THRESHOLD_MS` is floored above the timeout so the paused-liveness watchdog can't pre-empt the wait); (b) the handshake must **not** wait — an empty node bootstrapping a database it does not have locally would deadlock (the peer only sends `DB_SCHEMA` in response to a subscription request, and that schema is what creates the tables that resolve the placeholder) — so `resolveDatabaseStores` reads the stores off a local table instead, both being per-database (`rootStore.auditStore` / `rootStore.dbisDb`) with the subscription queue only a carrier. Empty stores then mean what `startTime === 1` always assumed: no local tables at all, i.e. a genuine bootstrap. Compare `readDbisCursorSync` (#476/#484) — same "`undefined` masquerades as no resume cursor → spurious full copy" failure, different source of the `undefined`. -14. **Transport liveness does not prove subscription setup completed.** On the sender, both the dynamic `hdb_nodes` authorization subscription and the database's internal subscription placeholder must resolve before `DB_SCHEMA` is sent and the replay loop starts.

Both sender gates are now bounded by `SUBSCRIPTION_RESOLVE_TIMEOUT`; expiry logs the exact gate and closes transiently so the subscriber retries from its last durable cursor. This deliberately also retries a peer/database mismatch whose placeholder can never resolve, matching the receive-path bound: the state is indistinguishable from a registration failure and may become valid after deployment. Independently, peers advertise support for a correlated setup acknowledgement and their effective two-gate setup budget in `NODE_NAME`; the outbound receiver then attaches a request id to each non-empty `SUBSCRIPTION_REQUEST` and arms a one-shot **subscription-setup watchdog** for at least that advertised budget, until the post-gate `DB_SCHEMA` echoes that exact id. This correlation is required because the `system` handshake sends unsolicited schemas before the subscription request is processed, and a superseded replay can still have frames in flight. A receiver disables this independent watchdog when its sending peer does not advertise the capability, preserving wire compatibility without treating an unsolicited schema as an acknowledgement.

Switch to performance.now(), which is monotonic.
