 ## L2 — Recovery audit trail
 
-The four migrated writers (`MutationStaging::finalize`, `schema_apply`, `branch_merge`, `ensure_indices`) protect their multi-table commits with a sidecar at `__recovery/{ulid}.json` written before Phase B and deleted after Phase C.

 Audit rows live in `_graph_commit_recoveries.lance` (sibling to `_graph_commits.lance`) and reference the commit graph by `graph_commit_id`. The linked recovery commit is identified by that same `graph_commit_id`, and `actor_id="omnigraph:recovery"` is stored in `_graph_commit_actors.lance` (joined by `graph_commit_id`) — `_graph_commits.lance` itself does not carry the `actor_id` column. To find recoveries for a specific original actor: `omnigraph commit list --filter actor=omnigraph:recovery`, then join to `_graph_commit_recoveries.lance` by `graph_commit_id` to read `recovery_for_actor`. Schema: see `crates/omnigraph/src/db/recovery_audit.rs`.

 ## `optimize_all_tables(db)` — non-destructive
 
-- Lance `compact_files()` on every node + edge table on `main`.
-- Rewrites small fragments into fewer large ones; old fragments remain reachable via older manifests.
+- Lance `compact_files()` on every node + edge table on `main`, then **publishes the compacted version to the `__manifest`** so the manifest's `table_version` tracks the compacted Lance HEAD. Reads pin the manifest version, so without this publish compaction would be invisible to readers *and* would break the HEAD-vs-manifest precondition of the next schema apply / strict update/delete ("stale view … refresh and retry"). The publish advances the graph version (a system-attributed commit) only for tables that actually compacted.
+- Rewrites small fragments into fewer large ones; old fragments remain reachable via older manifests until `cleanup` runs.
+- Each table's compact→publish runs under its per-`(table, main)` write queue (serializing with concurrent mutations — compaction is a Lance `Rewrite` op that retryable-conflicts with a concurrent merge/update/delete on overlapping fragments). The Lance-HEAD-before-manifest-publish gap is covered by a `SidecarKind::Optimize` recovery sidecar (loose-match): a crash in that window rolls the compacted version forward on the next `Omnigraph::open` (compaction is content-preserving, so roll-forward is always safe).
+- **Requires a recovered graph.** `optimize` refuses (errors) when an unresolved recovery sidecar is present under `__recovery` — operating on an unrecovered graph could publish a partial write the open-time recovery sweep would roll back. Reopen the graph to run the recovery sweep, then re-run `optimize`. (Recovery roll-back now publishes its restored version, so a recovered graph always satisfies `manifest == Lance HEAD` going in; there is no leftover drift for `optimize` to interpret.)
 - Bounded by `OMNIGRAPH_MAINTENANCE_CONCURRENCY` (default 8).
 - Returns `[TableOptimizeStats { table_key, fragments_removed, fragments_added, committed, skipped }]`.
 - **Blob tables are skipped.** A table that declares any `Blob` property is not compacted: it is reported with `skipped: Some(BlobColumnsUnsupportedByLance)` (and logged via `tracing::warn`) instead of compacted, and the rest of the sweep proceeds normally. The current Lance `compact_files` mis-decodes blob-v2 columns under its forced `BlobHandling::AllBinary` read; **reads and writes are unaffected** — only compaction is. This is gated by `LANCE_SUPPORTS_BLOB_COMPACTION` (`db/omnigraph/optimize.rs`) and removed when the upstream Lance fix lands (see [docs/dev/lance.md](../dev/lance.md)). Consequence: fragment count and deleted-row space on blob tables are not reclaimed until then; query results are never affected.
