From e91d5615c6e1c54d66cfdc7040b4b0ffe3f2e28a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 20:31:18 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] Fix MR-923: refresh restored coordinator on merge Err path MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit branch_merge_impl swaps the coordinator for the merge target, runs the merge body, then restores the original coordinator. A concurrent /change on the same target during this window publishes against the swapped coord, advancing on-disk manifest state that the restored coord doesn't see. The post-restore refresh was previously gated on merge_result.is_ok(), so the clean-409 path (merge body's post_queue_snapshot drift check returning a recoverable conflict) left the restored coord's cached snapshot stale relative to disk. The next sequential /change seeded its publisher expected_versions from that stale cache and 409'd with ExpectedVersionMismatch — a non-retryable conflict surfaced to a caller with no concurrent writer of their own. Refresh on both Ok and Err paths so cached state cannot diverge from the manifest across the swap-restore window. Add a focused regression test (concurrent_merge_clean_409_does_not_poison_next_change_on_target) that loops the cell-d scenario until the clean-409 branch fires and asserts the follow-up sentinel succeeds in that branch specifically.

That violates the contract documented on `Omnigraph::refresh`: > Engine-internal callers that already hold an in-flight sidecar > (e.g. `schema_apply` mid-write) MUST use `refresh_coordinator_only` > to avoid the recovery sweep racing their own sidecar. The post-restore step's purpose is to sync the coord cache with disk, not to run recovery, so `refresh_coordinator_only` is the right primitive on both paths. CI surfaced this via `branch_merge_phase_b_failure_recovered_on_next_open` in `crates/omnigraph/tests/failpoints.rs`, which asserts the sidecar persists after the failpoint fires.

That flake-to-stable transition is the regression signal. The replacement test (concurrent_merge_clean_409_does_not_poison_next_ change_on_target) tried to sharpen this by looping until the clean- 409 path fired and then strictly requiring it. On fast CI hardware the race window never opens in 50 iterations, which made the strict variant fail in CI despite passing 10/10 locally. The bug genuinely needs a real concurrent writer to advance on-disk manifest during the swap window — a deterministic failpoint can't substitute because forcing the merge body to Err without a real concurrent writer leaves no cache-vs-disk drift to validate. Reverting to the matrix cell as the sole regression coverage. Updated the comment in merge.rs accordingly.
