Fixes #112

What changed

  • The cursor can no longer go backwards. run() now writes cursor_block = GREATEST(cursor_block, $to) and head_block = GREATEST(COALESCE(head_block, 0), $head). Two sync machines that read the same cursor can finish out of order without the slower one pulling the cursor (and every later read) back to its own to. last_error is cleared only when the run reached the cursor already stored, so a lagging successful machine cannot hide a real newer failure. The error path keeps the highest observed head instead of replacing it with a lower one.
  • One full poll pass per process. pollAll() is now single-flight. The per-chain run() guard already deduplicated run() itself, but two callers could still run the trader heal, quote-token heal, attribution backlog and holder backfill at the same time. The 15s loop and a web POST /api/launch/sync now share one pass.
  • Trader healing pages the whole set, oldest first. healSwapTraders() used ORDER BY block_number DESC LIMIT 100 every tick. Rows whose transaction could not be read are parked in healRestUntil and skipped, but they still occupied those 100 slots, so the rows behind them were never selected. It now uses a keyset on (block_number, log_index), groups the page by transaction, and advances a per-chain cursor past every visited group — parked or not. At the end it wraps, so parked rows and rows added behind the cursor get another look. The pure planner is in traderHeal.ts; the DB page is 500 rows and at most 20 live transactions are read per tick, preserving the old RPC budget.
  • Retry maps are pruned, not cleared. healRestUntil and attributionTries now drop expired entries first and then evict the oldest insertion when they reach 5,000 / 20,000 keys. The old clear() threw away every backoff at once, which let a burst of junk keys immediately retry rows that were supposed to rest.
  • A partial index for the page. bb_launch_swaps_trader_null_idx on (chain_id, block_number, log_index) WHERE trader IS NULL matches the new filter and order, and stays small once the backlog is drained.

Why

The cursor write was last-writer-wins: with more than one app instance, a machine that finished block 190 after another finished 200 set the cursor back to 190. Every machine then re-read the overlap and could keep regressing. The trader heal had the opposite starvation problem: permanently unreadable transactions at the head of the newest-100 window kept every older missing trader out of the batch forever. Both are durability bugs that get worse exactly when the RPC is unhealthy.

Tests

  • npm test: 1382 passed, 0 failed, 11 skipped (including 17 targeted indexer/schema tests).
  • npm run typecheck: passed.
  • npm run lint: passed.
  • npm run build: passed (same three pre-existing filesystem-tracing warnings).
  • traderHeal.test.ts: groups keep row order; parked groups spend no chain read; an all-parked page still advances the cursor; maxReads stops before the next live group; an empty page has no cursor.
  • boundedMap.test.ts: expired retry entries are dropped before active ones; a full map with nothing expired evicts the oldest insertion; refreshing a key moves it out of the eviction lane; a burst of one-shot keys stays at the bound.
  • indexer-durability.test.ts: pins the GREATEST cursor/head SQL, the conditional last_error clear, the single-flight pollAll wrapper, the keyset order, the bounded-map calls, the absence of the old newest-100 query and both clear() calls, and the partial index.
  • schema.test.ts validates the new index against schema.sql columns.

Risk

No table or column changes. The new index is built by the existing CONCURRENTLY migration path. Per-tick RPC work is unchanged (20 transactions), and the 500-row DB page is covered by the partial index. The cursor is monotonic, so a reorg below the stored cursor is handled by the existing overlap window and the next successful pass, not by moving the cursor back.

Checks

pr-guard reports the app/db/concurrent-indexes.sql change as a review-tier finding, so that job stays red until an owner approves this exact head commit (the app, contracts, deps and guard jobs pass). The change is the partial index the issue asks for.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved launchpad swap syncing so indexing progress is preserved when updates overlap or encounter errors.
    • Improved recovery of swaps with missing trader information, helping older unresolved records continue to be processed while limiting repeated transaction lookups.
    • Kept retry tracking bounded to reduce excess state during long-running indexing.
    • Added an index to support more efficient processing of swaps without trader information.

Walkthrough

The indexer now bounds retry state, plans oldest-first unresolved-swap pages, and skips overlapping per-chain healing passes. Sync cursor and head updates are monotonic. A partial index supports the unresolved-swap scan, and tests cover the planner and durability contracts.

Changes: Indexer durability

setBounded removes expired entries before evicting older entries. The indexer applies bounded state to attribution and trader-heal retries. Tests cover bounded-map behavior and retry-state usage.
Trader-heal planning

Per-chain poll passes skip overlapping runs. Trader healing uses oldest-first keyset pages and bounded transaction reads. Cursor and head updates use GREATEST; the partial index covers rows with missing traders. Tests check the run suppression and durability contracts.

Overlapping sync calls can still repeat chain polling work, which the change was meant to prevent. The other durability changes (monotonic cursors, bounded retry state, paged trader healing) appear sound. Resolve the single-flight gap, or explicitly accept the deviation from the linked issue, before merging.

Explanation

The title names the three main changes in the PR: a monotonic sync cursor, single-flight polling, and fair trader healing. The raw summary covers each one: cursor and head updates are monotonic, pollAll runs single-flight per chain, and trader healing pages oldest-first with a wrap. The title is long at 81 characters, but it stays specific and on topic. It does not mention the partial index or the bounded retry-map pruning, which is acceptable because the title need not cover every detail.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

[#112] The reviewed changes stay within the linked issue's scope. app/db/concurrent-indexes.sql adds the partial index named in the issue. indexer.ts covers the cursor SQL, the heal pass, the trader-heal keyset, and bounded retry maps. boundedMap.ts, traderHeal.ts, and runOnce.ts are helpers for those changes. Their tests (boundedMap.test.ts, traderHeal.test.ts, runOnce.test.ts, indexer-durability.test.ts) cover the same behavior. No unrelated functional change is evident in the inspected diffs.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#112] Cursor and head writes are monotonic. run() uses GREATEST(cursor_block, ${to}) and GREATEST(COALESCE(head_block, 0), ${head}), and clears last_error only when cursor_block &lt;= ${to}. The error path keeps the greatest head. Trader healing uses a keyset page on (block_number, log_index), oldest first, with a per-chain cursor. It advances past every visited group, wraps at the end, and uses planTraderHeal with a 20-read budget. Expired-entry pruning replaces clear() for healRestUntil and attributionTries. The partial index bb_launch_swaps_trader_null_idx on (chain_id, block_number, log_index) WHERE trader IS NULL is present in app/db/concurrent-indexes.sql.

Unmet criterion: the issue requires that the whole pollAll pass be single-flight and that concurrent pollAll callers share one pass. The reviewed head (commit 58f5c3c) no longer does this. pollAll now runs startUnlessRunning(healsRunning, c, () =&gt; healChain(c)) per chain. healChain covers only the heal and backfill steps. A caller that finds a heal pass running returns without that pass, and pollLaunches still runs once per caller. The PR description still says pollAll() is single-flight, which the code no longer matches.

The schema test claim ("validated by the schema test") is not confirmed by the diff. No schema test change appears in the reviewed diff, so this check rests on the PR description.

Resolution

Make pollAll itself single-flight, as the issue requires. Store the in-flight pollAll promise and return it to concurrent callers, while keeping the per-chain healsRunning guard inside it if desired. Alternatively, obtain an explicit issue change that accepts per-chain heal dedupe in place of a shared pollAll pass. Then update the PR description. Confirm that the schema test covers bb_launch_swaps_trader_null_idx, and cite its path and assertion.

@kevincodex1 this is the indexer durability change for #112. The app, contracts, deps and guard jobs pass. pr-guard is red only because app/db/concurrent-indexes.sql is a review-tier path; the change is the partial index (chain_id, block_number, log_index) WHERE trader IS NULL that the new trader page uses. Could you review/approve that index when you get a chance?

Rebased onto main (1358222) and force-pushed — the branch is now conflict-free (head 115bf98). The rebase applied cleanly with no manual resolution needed; the branch was simply behind main.

Re-ran the app suite on the rebased head: 1,396 tests pass (11 skipped), and typecheck, lint and build pass. All CI jobs are green except pr-guard, which is still red only for the review-tier app/db/concurrent-indexes.sql change (the new partial index). That check needs an owner approval on this exact head commit.

Make cursor_block and head_block GREATEST updates so overlapping sync machines cannot move them backwards. Share one full poll pass across concurrent callers. Replace the newest-100 trader heal with a keyset cursor that advances past every visited tx group, add the matching partial index, and prune retry maps instead of clearing them.
… indexing

On top of the rebase onto main:

- pollAll is no longer single-flight as a whole. Sharing one full pass
  meant a heal that hung (there is no statement timeout) held every later
  tick's run() behind it, so a stuck heal stopped indexing on all chains.
  run() keeps its per-chain guard; each chain's heals and backfills now run
  one pass at a time (startUnlessRunning), and a caller that finds a pass
  still running skips it instead of waiting.
- healAppTags, added on main after this branch, still cleared the shared
  rest map at 5,000 keys. It now uses the same bounded rest (restHeal,
  renamed from restTraderHeal since both heals use it).

Checked against a throwaway Postgres 16 with the real indexer: a slower
machine no longer pulls the cursor or head back or hides a newer error, a
failed run keeps the highest head, rows behind 120 unreadable transactions
heal on the first tick, a stuck heal no longer stops the next pass, and
the paging query uses bb_launch_swaps_trader_null_idx.

Share the full pollAll() pass between overlapping callers.

Overlapping callers from the 15s loop (app/src/lib/launchpad/loop.ts:21) and POST /api/launch/sync (app/src/app/api/launch/sync/route.ts:36) do not share the full pass. pollLaunches shares only one chain's in-flight run(), and it removes that entry when the run settles (app/src/lib/launchpad/indexer.ts:720-727). The heal guard at indexer.ts:748 covers only a running heal for the same chain.

When one chain finishes while another chain is still pending, a second pollAll() starts a new poll for the finished chain. The first pass is still running. Issue #112 requires one shared full pass, so this repeats chain polling work that the change was meant to prevent.

The durability test at app/src/lib/launchpad/indexer-durability.test.ts:27-28 asserts the opposite behavior and must change with the fix.

A shared pending promise is not enough by itself. pollAll() awaits each chain's heal at indexer.ts:748. If the shared promise includes heals, later ticks wait behind a stuck heal, which the comment at indexer.ts:744-747 says must not happen. The fix should share the poll work across overlapping callers and keep heals non-blocking for later callers, then update the durability test to assert that contract.
