From 732d23bd2afb4ac9559a9beb7835e0f623065ff2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Snelling Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 09:32:52 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix: resolve v5.7.x race condition with write-through cache (v5.7.2) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes critical bug where brain.add() → brain.relate() would fail with "Source entity not found" error. The issue occurred because entities written asynchronously weren't immediately queryable. Solution: Write-through cache at storage layer (baseStorage.ts) - Cache data during async writes (synchronous operation) - Check cache before disk reads (guarantees read-after-write consistency) - Self-cleaning (cache clears after write completes) - Zero-config, automatic for all 8 storage adapters Impact: - Fixes PDF import failures in v5.7.0/v5.7.1 - Maintains 12-24x import speedup from v5.7.0 - Production-ready for billion-scale deployments Test coverage: - 8 unit tests (write-through cache behavior) - 7 integration tests (brain.add → brain.relate scenarios) - 74 regression tests verified passing Resolves: Import failures, VFS structure generation errors --- src/storage/baseStorage.ts | 42 ++- tests/integration/readAfterWrite.test.ts | 331 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/storage/writeThroughCache.test.ts | 215 ++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 585 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/integration/readAfterWrite.test.ts create mode 100644 tests/unit/storage/writeThroughCache.test.ts diff --git a/src/storage/baseStorage.ts b/src/storage/baseStorage.ts index 2eec11ab..ea09340a 100644 --- a/src/storage/baseStorage.ts +++ b/src/storage/baseStorage.ts @@ -142,6 +142,13 @@ export abstract class BaseStorage extends BaseStorageAdapter { protected graphIndexPromise?: Promise protected readOnly = false + // v5.7.2: Write-through cache for read-after-write consistency + // Guarantees that immediately after writeObjectToBranch(), readWithInheritance() returns the data + // Cache key: resolved branchPath (includes branch scope for COW isolation) + // Cache lifetime: write start → write completion (microseconds to milliseconds) + // Memory footprint: Typically <10 items (only in-flight writes), <1KB total + private writeCache = new Map() + // COW (Copy-on-Write) support -
