rust-duckdb-cache-reconciliation
Root cause. <project> has two writers of edges.jsonl (the append-only source of truth) but only some paths updated the DuckDB edges cache. The parse-and-diff hot path (JIT-001) committed to the in-memory cache while skipping or conditionally deferring the DuckDB insert. After ≥15 ticks (Variant C), the DuckDB table drifted from the log: queries returned stale/missing edges while edges.jsonl had the truth. The drift is silent because INSERT-based caches never fail on divergence — they just serve old data.
Fix 1 — JIT-001: write-through insert in the parse-and-diff trigger. Every edge that survives parsing is written to DuckDB in the same step as the cache diff, using INSERT OR IGNORE so re-parsing the same line (WAL replay, double-parse) is a no-op rather than a PK violation. Removals are diffed out with DELETE.
Fix 2 — JIT-002: read-through reconcile_edges_from_jsonl at GraphDB::open. On open, replay edges.jsonl into DuckDB with incremental INSERT OR IGNORE. Idempotent: the PK makes re-runs converge to zero inserts. Malformed lines are skipped (counted, never fatal). A missing file returns Ok(0) — a fresh DB is not an error.

**Verification.** Full suite: **535 tests pass; judge PASS 11/11.** Drift regression (Variant C, 15+ ticks) was added as a test: append 20 edges to `edges.jsonl` across ticks, reopen `GraphDB`, assert the DuckDB query set equals the log set — previously failing, now exact. **Edge cases tested:** | Case | Behavior | Test | |---|---|---| | Missing `edges.jsonl` | `Ok(0)`, open succeeds, cache left as-is | fresh-DB open | | Malformed JSON line | Line skipped + counted, replay continues | corrupted line mid-file | | Idempotency | `reconcile` run twice → second pass inserts 0; `INSERT OR IGNORE` dedupes on PK | double-open | | Incremental | Only unseen PKs inserted; existing rows untouched | partial replay after 5 ticks | | 15+ tick drift | Post-reconcile query set == `edges.jsonl` set, no dupes | Variant C | | Removed edges | `DELETE` on diff keeps cache consistent with log | edge-unlink tick | | Empty lines / trailing newline | Skipped, no errors | log with blank lines | | I/O failure mid-replay | Error propagates; open fails loudly rather than serving partial state | read error injection | **Invariants proven by the suite:** `count(edges) == unique ids in edges.jsonl`; no `UNIQUE` violations on replay; reconciliation total time linear in log size (incremental, single prepared statement); no partial cache state on failure. ---
