Related Issue

No linked issue — the problem was measured directly on a 1.1k-workspace install (client HAR traces plus server-side timing).

Problem

GET /api/v2/sessions?view=by_workspace re-computes the full grouping on every page, and the grouping loop calls resolveAliasIds once per unique workspace — each call re-read workspaces.json (twice, via WorkspaceService.get() and IWorkspacePersistence.load()) and re-read+parsed the whole session_index.jsonl, with zero caching and serialized through WorkspaceService's exclusive lock. GET /api/v1/workspaces pays the same per-workspace cost for its session_counts.

Measured with 1122 workspaces / 1852 sessions (synthetic home shaped from a real install):

  • each 50-group page: ~2.4s (23 pages serially ≈ 57s during a client startup drain)
  • /workspaces: ~2.45s
  • flat session list for comparison: ~0.09s

What changed

WorkspaceAliasesService now caches both inputs as precomputed snapshots — a by-id map plus a root-key → alias ids index — so resolveAliasIds is O(1) after the first call:

  • Invalidation uses the storage watch events (directory-level, debounced), which cover atomic tmp+rename rewrites and cross-process writers (CLI and server share the same home). Backends without watch fall back to reading through, so no caching semantics change there.
  • The first resolution primes the workspace merge via IWorkspaceService.list(), so the cached catalog matches what WorkspaceService.get() would have returned (merge runs once per process; later cache misses just re-read the catalog).
  • fileWorkspacePersistence exports the catalog scope/key constants for the watch subscription (same pattern as the session-index constants).

Measured after the fix, same data: group pages 0.009–0.12s, /workspaces 0.11s warm, full 23-page drain 1.9s; client startup gate 7.7s → 2.4s. One ~3.4s one-time cost remains per server process (read-model build + initial catalog merge), unchanged by this PR.

Tests: two new cases in the existing workspaceAliasesService.test.ts — zero disk reads after warm, and cache pickup of catalog/session-index changes via the file watchers. Related suites (workspaceAliases, workspaceSessions, workspace, kap-server v2Sessions) all pass; lint and typecheck clean.

Checklist

  • I have read the CONTRIBUTING document.
  • I have linked a related issue (external PRs: the issue must have a maintainer's /approve). — N/A, no linked issue (measured directly).
  • I have added tests that prove my feature works.
  • Ran gen-changesets skill — no changeset by decision: the user-facing entry ships with the app changelog (kimi-code-app#433).
  • Ran gen-docs skill, or this PR needs no doc update.

resolveAliasIds re-read the workspace catalog and the whole session
index from disk on every call, so the by_workspace grouping loop and
the per-workspace session counts paid repeated full-file reads per
workspace per request (~2.4s per 50-group page at 1.1k workspaces,
23 pages serially during a client startup drain).

Cache both files as precomputed snapshots (by-id map plus a
root-key -> alias ids index) invalidated by the storage watch events,
which cover atomic rewrites and cross-process writes; storage backends
without watch fall back to reading through. The first resolution primes
the workspace merge via IWorkspaceService.list() so the cached catalog
matches what WorkspaceService.get() would have returned.

…ication

Concurrent cold resolveAliasIds callers (the /workspaces route fans out
per-workspace counts with Promise.all) all passed the cache check before
any caller finished loading, re-running the full catalog and session
index reads the cache exists to avoid; memoize the in-flight load
promise so a cold batch shares one read. Also capture the invalidation
generation before each read and publish the snapshot only when it is
unchanged, so a mid-read file replacement cannot leave a stale snapshot
installed over the watch invalidation.

…nce owner

A debounced fs watch was the only invalidation channel for the alias
catalog snapshot, so an in-process catalog write stayed invisible to
resolveAliasIds for up to the watch debounce window while the previous
read-through code observed every completed write immediately.
IWorkspacePersistence now exposes onDidChange: FileWorkspacePersistence
fires it synchronously on save and re-fires the underlying document
watch (covering atomic rewrites and cross-process writers), and the
aliases service subscribes to it instead of watching raw storage keys.
The session index snapshot keeps the filesystem watch, matching the
read-side ownership of that file.

…writes

A flushed session_index.jsonl append was invisible to resolveAliasIds
for up to the fs-watch debounce window, so a sessions request issued
right after a session create could resolve the workspace's aliases from
the pre-append snapshot. IAppendLogStore now publishes onDidWrite after
each durable flush (append batches and rewrites), and the aliases
service drops its session-index snapshot through that event; the raw
filesystem watch stays as the channel for cross-process writers.

…ites

Once a key has a LogState, every global flush() (WireService flushes
after ordinary agent persistence) completed it successfully and fired
onDidWrite unconditionally, so idle agent activity kept dropping the
alias session-index snapshot and forced full re-reads of an unchanged
index. drain() now reports whether it appended anything and the write
event fires only when a flush actually persisted a batch or a rewrite.

Callers joining an in-flight single-flight load after a completed write
still received the pre-write snapshot: the generation check only guarded
cache publication, not the value returned to awaiters. Each load now
carries the generation it started at, and catalog()/sessionIndex()
re-read (coalesced through the same single-flight) when the settled
load's generation is stale.

…fails

A drain that persisted one batch and then failed the next threw without
recording the durable write, so onDidWrite never fired for records that
were in fact persisted (the alias session-index snapshot then missed
its synchronous invalidation). The write box now threads through the
whole owned flush: each successful batch marks it, and the event fires
before the failure propagates.

The per-snapshot retry guarded each read on its own, so a write landing
between the catalog and session-index reads returned an alias set
assembled across two generations. resolveAliasIds now captures the
generation once, reads both snapshots together, and retries the whole
resolution when either input was invalidated mid-flight. The
spanned-write test is reworked to gate after the load (so the snapshot
content genuinely predates the write), and a new case covers the
cross-generation mix directly.

A resident chokidar watcher per server on the shared home directory
degraded watch delivery for unrelated files under test-suite boot
volume (the prompts suite lost the config.toml reload race and the
catalog missed a just-written model). In-process appends were already
covered synchronously by the append-log write event; cross-process
writers now surface through a per-call size comparison on the
append-only file, which costs one stat per resolve and needs no
resident watcher.
