From 3241ae337afb6825049956ae931dfe4fe62ab8c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Snelling Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2025 12:51:25 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix(vfs): prevent root duplication with fixed-ID pattern (v5.10.0) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CRITICAL FIX for Workshop team's production blocker: - VFS roots multiplied exponentially (5 → 100+ in 2 minutes) - Fresh workspace created 7 duplicate roots on first page load - Root cause: Query-then-create race condition across VFS instances ARCHITECTURAL SOLUTION: Replace Smart Root Selection (symptom masking) with fixed-ID pattern (root cause fix). Changes: - Use deterministic UUID '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000' for VFS root - Storage-level uniqueness prevents all duplicates across instances - Remove selectBestRoot() method (~60 lines) - no longer needed - Add auto-cleanup for old v5.9.0 UUID-based roots - Idempotent creation: Concurrent calls gracefully handled Why this works: - All VFS instances use same fixed ID - Storage enforces uniqueness (filesystem/database constraint) - No queries needed (O(1) get vs O(log n) query) - Works across server restarts and multi-server deployments - Simpler code: ~30 lines added, ~60 lines removed Test Results: - Build: Zero TypeScript errors - VFS tests: 116/128 pass (was 57/128 before fix) - Full suite: 1174/1200 pass (97.8%) Impact on Workshop: - Fresh workspace: 1 root (was 7) - After 2 minutes: 1 root (was 100) - No manual cleanup needed - Per-request pattern now fully supported Technical Details: - VFS root ID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 - User-visible path: / (path field, not ID) - Storage path: entities/nouns/collection/metadata/00/00000000...json -
