Problem

The corpus consolidation pipeline (mem::consolidate-pipeline) can run the
same full-corpus LLM work more than once for the same corpus state.
Observed twice in production on v0.9.29:

  • Two identical LLM requests fired 340ms apart (same 22,821-char payload,
    both returned 200). Second run even reused the first's prompt cache —
    proof it was a re-send of the exact same prompt, not a retry.
  • Audit log shows 4 concurrent pipeline runs on the same corpus
    (14:26:31Z / 14:27:06Z / 14:27:07Z / 14:27:10Z, all totalSummaries=77).

Triggers that can overlap: session-stop fan-out (events.ts), 2h timer
(index.ts), REST endpoint (api.ts), eviction recovery (evict.ts).

Fix

  1. Corpus-fingerprint dedup (consolidation-pipeline.ts) — hash the
    top-20 summary inputs ({title, narrative, concepts}); reserve the
    fingerprint before the LLM call, skip when unchanged, release on
    failure so a failed consolidation can retry.
  2. withKeyedLock("consolidation:global") — serialize pipeline
    invocations in-process so concurrent triggers cannot interleave.
  3. Crash-safe audit (consolidation-pipeline.ts + audit.ts) — write
    an operation:"consolidate" audit row with status:"started" before
    any LLM/state work, then flip to status:"completed" at the end. A
    mid-pipeline kill now leaves a trail instead of silently writing facts
    with no audit entry (the 10:25Z incident's behavior).
  4. Force no longer bypasses dedupforce:true only bypasses the
    isConsolidationEnabled() gate. All automated callers pass
    force:true, so allowing it to skip dedup would reintroduce the bug.

Tests (14 in file, 5 new)

  • sequential identical corpus → 1 LLM call
  • concurrent identical invocations → 1 LLM call
  • corpus change → re-runs (2 calls)
  • force=true + unchanged corpus → still skips
  • LLM failure → fingerprint released → retry re-runs
  • audit row exists (status:"started") at LLM-call time

Validation

  • npx vitest run test/consolidation-pipeline.test.ts → 14/14 pass
  • npm test full suite → 172 files, 1,862 tests pass
  • npx tsc --noEmit → no new errors in touched files

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Avoids repeating semantic consolidation when the summary corpus has not changed.
    • Coordinates simultaneous consolidation requests so identical work runs only once.
    • Automatically reruns consolidation when new summaries are available.
    • Supports forced reruns when the corpus has changed.
    • Records audit activity before processing and updates it with completion results.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Failed consolidation attempts now release their reservation, allowing retries to run successfully.

…ipeline

Pipeline fired duplicate full-corpus LLM consolidations when multiple
triggers (session-stop fan-out, 2h timer, REST, eviction recovery) ran
close together on the same corpus — observed 340ms apart with identical
request bodies.

Guard: semantic tier hashes the recent-20 summaries and reserves the
fingerprint in KV.config before the LLM call. A later invocation with the
same corpus skips the LLM; the reservation is released on LLM failure so
retries re-run. The whole handler is serialized with withKeyedLock so
in-process duplicates queue behind the first run. force:true intentionally
does NOT bypass dedup (all automated callers pass it).
Two-phase audit: mem::consolidate-pipeline now writes its audit row
(status: started) BEFORE any LLM/state work and updates it in place
(status: completed + results) at the end. A mid-pipeline kill — observed
2026-09-01 (semantic facts persisted at 10:25:28Z/10:25:30Z with no audit
row because the worker was killed between the writes and the single
recordAudit at pipeline end) — now leaves a diagnostic trail instead of
an invisible gap.

Also: corrects the cross-process comment (--instance N is its own
engine+worker port quartet; shared data dir shares the KV fingerprint
reserve which is the only cross-process guard), and documents the
two-phase row shape in the audit-coverage policy comment.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The consolidation pipeline now serializes executions, fingerprints recent summaries to skip duplicate work, releases reservations after failures, and records audit status before and after LLM processing. Tests cover sequential, concurrent, forced, retry, and audit behavior.

Changes

Consolidation deduplication and audit tracking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Serialized execution and two-phase audit
src/functions/consolidation-pipeline.ts, src/functions/audit.ts, test/consolidation-pipeline.test.ts
The pipeline uses a keyed lock, writes a started audit entry before LLM work, and updates it to completed with results.
Corpus fingerprint reservation and skip logic
src/functions/consolidation-pipeline.ts, test/consolidation-pipeline.test.ts
The pipeline fingerprints the 20 most recent summaries, skips unchanged corpora, deduplicates concurrent runs, and releases reservations after failures. Tests cover corpus changes and force=true.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e6c78

The change reduces duplicate consolidation runs within one process, but concurrent processes can still perform the same expensive work, and interruptions or reservation failures can either suppress recovery or allow duplicate processing. These bounded correctness and recovery risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

// Corpus-level dedup guard for the semantic merge tier. Stored in KV.config
// so the guard survives worker restarts and is shared across processes.
//
// Semantics: the fingerprint guard is UNCONDITIONAL — it applies to every
// invocation, including force:true. `force` only bypasses the
// isConsolidationEnabled() gate (policy bypass); it does not mean "re-run
// the LLM on an unchanged corpus". The automated callers (session-stop
// fan-out, eviction recovery) already check isConsolidationEnabled() before
// firing, so their force:true is redundant; it must never bypass dedup or
// the 340ms double-fire returns.
//
// Fingerprint window: the hash covers only the 20 most recent summaries
// and only {title, narrative, concepts}. Changes beyond the window (or to
// other summary fields) do not invalidate it — fine for a recency-ordered,
// append-only corpus, but the guard is NOT a full-corpus change detector.

Route the two-phase audit lifecycle through recordAudit().

The function directly writes audit state with kv.set(). This bypasses the required audit helper. Extend recordAudit() to accept a stable ID and support an in-place status update, then use it for both lifecycle writes.

As per coding guidelines, src/functions/**/*.ts: “Use recordAudit() for state-changing operations.”

Also applies to: 339-342

Make fingerprint reservation acquisition fail closed and owner-scoped across processes.

The current read/write sequence allows two processes to observe the same fingerprint before either persists the new reservation, so both can invoke consolidation. A failed reservation write is also ignored, allowing the LLM call to proceed without a durable reservation. Cleanup can additionally delete a newer run's reservation.

Use an atomic compare-and-set or lease with a run token and expiry, release only when the token matches, and propagate reservation-write failures so processing cannot start without a durable reservation.
