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unpublished commit wrote, then waits for that commit's publication.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.
Chord's shared watch: listeners take a tagged call, { kind: "value", value, ops, retired } or
{ kind: "failed", error }; a recoverable failure keeps the watch open and the next value arrives as
[["r", value]]; WatchEnd is tagged by kind, and an aborted context ends a watch "aborted".
Durable: observers take the watch's shapes (advance(call, ctx), end(end)); onReport(report) with
report.kind and report.error, session_failed is storage_failed; subscribeCommits is observeCommits;
SessionEnd and ReportFrom are tagged by kind; FileChange is tagged and file watchers stop with
stop(ctx); CompactionFailure and CompactionStatus name their trigger (pi.live version 2 with a
migrate); the task_outdated report uses the scheduler's reasons; TaskInspection's ready is pending;
DocumentCommitChange is tagged. Stored formats are unchanged.
Durable publishes a stored commit inside Storage.commit's adopt: the
telemetry events, its own observers (document watches, conversation
views, task graph, scheduler, waits), and a dispatch of host
subscribeCommits listeners one microtask later, before every wait and
abort the commit triggers. A commit the storage rejects after adoption is
published before the Session fails; a throwing telemetry adapter is
reported as host_error "telemetry" instead of rejecting a durable commit.
Chord's watch listeners take one change object, { value, ops, retired }
({ value } for native watches); retirement is a flag, not an end.
Durable's document watches follow their address, and a task document's
watch ends after its retirement call. New synchronous observers for
adapters: observeDoc, observeConversation, observeTaskGraph; the watches
are built on them. The env file watcher's change type is renamed
FileChange.
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()
Package 22: runtime.now() and report() throw after the invocation ended; a
migration-only commit is published; a failed Harness.open closes without the
caller's context and rethrows the open error; ConversationWatch alias. Tests
for close joining non-cooperative code, cancelled close, queued operations at
the seal, progress calls and viewers on a paused Harness, the Chord guide, and
the spec's usage examples.
Package 23: Harness.taskGraph() and watchTaskGraph() mount every live task with
its owner edge, committed status, flags, and owned conversations, advanced from
commit publications. Example 24 prints the checkout's tree.
