A Session no longer holds its line while a commit is stored. Commits that
arrive while one storage call is in flight go out together in the next call,
each with its own seq and outcome; a job runs until it touches a key an
unpublished commit wrote, then waits for that commit's publication. Outcomes
are delivered in line order; publication is in line order, one commit per
macrotask. The scheduler's decisions run as regions that record the keys they
read and rerun after a wait, with side effects only after a clean check.
Storage.commit(batches, receive, context) replaces commit(writes, adopt,
context): prefix semantics (Durable's own checks refuse a batch and keep the
ones before it; any other failure rejects the call), receipts per stored
batch, optional publishing() scope. Memory, SQLite, JSONL, IndexedDB and
StoreStorage implement it natively; StoreStorage through the new
ChordStore.commitSeries (one store transaction per call), replacing
commitInBatch.
A normal run makes no storage reads: bounded record cache, conversation
tails, task-document index, kept context ranges. A tool slot's running status
and a generation's attempt are stored with the next commit (12 instead of 14
commits per run).
One Harness with 128 conversations over storage with a 4 ms round trip: about
5 -> 440 agent runs per second. Design: packages/durable/docs/group-commit.md.
Breaking changes:
- Durable Storage.commit(writes, adopt, context): storages call adopt(seq) once,
synchronously, when the batch is durable and before their next commit
- Chord traceIn(options, fn, context): context last
- WatchHandle and WatchEnd move to Chord (Durable re-exports them); end reasons
ended (was session_closed) and failed (was session_failed); retirement is an
explicit source event, and an ended watch drops its references into the Session
- Removed Session.documentState(), Conversation.viewState(), Harness.taskGraph()
and DocumentState; use watchDoc(), watch(), watchTaskGraph()
Every built-in storage implements ReplayableStorage: head(), replay() at an explicit sequence, and export() of the current state as a log that replays to the same reads. SQLite schema version 3 adds sequence indexes so export streams. @earendil-works/pi-durable/sync adds ReplicatingStorage, which appends each committed batch to an outbox with fork copies resolved, compactRecords(), and versioned JSON log lines.
Tasks end a phase asleep with runtime.sleepUntil() or { status: "sleeping", until, checkpoint }:
no invocation is held, the deadline survives restarts, and the task resumes at its checkpoint once due.
Generation retry/poll and compaction retry sleep this way. Harness.wake() and HarnessOptions.onWake let
a host such as a Durable Object wake the process itself. HarnessOptions.setTimer arms every Harness
timer, and chord Progress paces on an injectable clock. SQLite migrates to schema version 2 to admit
the sleeping status.
runtime.context() keeps each conversation's last read range and derived
view. A later read by any of the conversation's tasks with the same head
marker scans and derives only the entries committed since, so a
generation no longer rereads and re-derives the whole transcript for
each model request. Busy conversations keep the range; idle ones for
settings.contextRetentionMs (default ten minutes), checked on task
changes and by one unreferenced timer where the runtime supports it.
Kept entries are frozen; each read returns its own view arrays.
Add openDurableObjectSqliteStorage(ctx.storage) in
@earendil-works/pi-durable/storage/sqlite/cloudflare: SQLite storage on
a SQLite-backed Cloudflare Durable Object, without per-row copies.
