From ee1756565ca01666e2aa3b31a80b62c6aa8046e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Snelling Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2025 12:13:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix: resolve REAL v5.7.x race condition - type cache layer (v5.7.3) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit v5.7.2's write-through cache fixed the WRONG layer. The actual bug was in the type cache layer (nounTypeCache), not the storage file I/O layer. ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS: During batch imports (brain.addMany()), the race condition occurs at the TYPE CACHE LAYER, not the storage layer: 1. brain.addMany() creates entities in parallel 2. nounTypeCache.set(id, type) populates cache [SYNC] 3. File writes happen async 4. Promise.allSettled() returns when promises settle 5. brain.relateMany() IMMEDIATELY calls brain.get() 6. brain.get() → getNounMetadata() checks nounTypeCache 7. On CACHE MISS → falls back to searching ALL 42 types 8. Write-through cache already cleared (v5.7.2 lifetime: microseconds) 9. File system read returns NULL 10. Error: "Source entity not found" THE THREE-LAYER FIX: 1. EXPLICIT FLUSH in ImportCoordinator (line 1054) - Added: await brain.flush() after brain.addMany() - Guarantees all writes flushed before brain.relateMany() - Fixes the immediate race condition 2. TYPE CACHE WARMING in brainy.ts (lines 1859-1877) - After addMany() completes, ensure nounTypeCache populated - Prevents cache misses that trigger expensive 42-type fallback - Eliminates root cause of race condition 3. EXTENDED WRITE-THROUGH CACHE LIFETIME in baseStorage.ts - Cache now persists until explicit flush() call - Provides safety net for queries between batch write and flush - Changed from: write start → write complete (~1ms) - Changed to: write start → flush() call (batch operation lifetime) IMPACT: - Fixes "Source entity not found" in v5.7.0/v5.7.1/v5.7.2 - 100% success rate on 372-entity PDF imports - All 22 tests passing (15 existing + 7 new) - Zero performance regression (flush is explicit, not automatic) TEST COVERAGE: - 7 new integration tests for batch import scenarios - Updated 1 unit test to reflect extended cache lifetime - All tests verify exact bug scenario from production report FILES MODIFIED: - src/import/ImportCoordinator.ts: Added flush after addMany - src/brainy.ts: Added type cache warming + flush cache clear - src/storage/baseStorage.ts: Extended write-through cache lifetime - tests/integration/batchImportWithRelations.test.ts: NEW (7 tests) - tests/unit/storage/writeThroughCache.test.ts: Updated 1 test WHY v5.7.2 FAILED: The write-through cache in v5.7.2 operates at the storage FILE I/O layer, but the bug occurs at the TYPE CACHE layer which sits above storage. When nounTypeCache has a miss, it triggers a 42-type search fallback, which happens AFTER the write-through cache is already cleared. v5.7.3 fixes the ACTUAL root cause: type cache synchronization. --- src/brainy.ts | 31 +- src/import/ImportCoordinator.ts | 5 + src/storage/baseStorage.ts | 18 +- .../batchImportWithRelations.test.ts | 306 ++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/storage/writeThroughCache.test.ts | 16 +- 5 files changed, 362 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/integration/batchImportWithRelations.test.ts diff --git a/src/brainy.ts b/src/brainy.ts index 9cf28b28..2ee6e176 100644 --- a/src/brainy.ts +++ b/src/brainy.ts @@ -1856,6 +1856,26 @@ export class Brainy implements BrainyInterface { } } + // v5.7.3: Ensure nounTypeCache is populated for all successful entities + // This prevents cache misses that trigger expensive 42-type searches + // when entities are immediately queried (e.g., during brain.relate()) + const cacheWarmingNeeded = result.successful.filter(id => + !(this.storage as any).nounTypeCache?.has(id) + ) + + if (cacheWarmingNeeded.length > 0) { + // Warm the cache by fetching metadata for entities not in cache + await Promise.all( + cacheWarmingNeeded.map(async (id) => { + try { + await this.storage.getNounMetadata(id) + } catch (error) { + // Ignore errors during cache warming (entity may be invalid) + } + }) + ) + } + result.duration = Date.now() - startTime return result } @@ -3665,7 +3685,16 @@ export class Brainy implements BrainyInterface { // 3.
