Summary

src/lib/server/holds.ts's initHoldEviction() used a single module-level evictionWired boolean guard. workspace-store.ts already supports resolving more than one concurrent {workspaceId, shardId} context in the same process (proven by workspace-store.test.ts's cross-context isolation tests), each with its own Awareness instance, and calls initHoldEviction(awareness) unconditionally on every new context — but the boolean guard meant only the first context ever created in the process actually got its awareness.on('change', ...) listener wired. Every subsequent shard's cross-client hold eviction (a human cursor arriving on a block silently evicting an agent's hold there — a stated PRD acceptance criterion) was a silent no-op.

Fixed by switching the guard to a WeakSet<Awareness> keyed per-instance, so every distinct Awareness gets wired exactly once, independent of how many other contexts already exist.

Found while scoping #120 (Phase B of #113's workspace-sharding implementation) — this bug is already latent today and becomes certain to fire in production the moment any Collection gets its own shard.

Test plan

  • New test: two independently-resolved Awareness instances both correctly evict an agent's hold on a human cursor arriving, including when the second instance is initialized well after the first (the exact scenario the old guard broke)
  • npm run test — 633/633 passing
  • npm run lint / npm run check — clean
  • No UI-visible surface — holds are internal Awareness plumbing, no dev-server verification needed

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved hold eviction reliability when multiple workspace contexts operate concurrently.
    • Prevented contexts with matching client identifiers from sharing expiration timers or canceling one another’s timers.
    • Ensured hold time-to-live expiration is tracked independently for each active context.
    • Ensured newly initialized contexts correctly enable hold eviction even when another context is already active.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for concurrent contexts, initialization order, independent eviction, and separate expiration timing.

initHoldEviction()'s single module-level boolean guard meant only the
first WorkspaceContext ever resolved in a process got cross-client hold
eviction wired — every subsequent {workspaceId, shardId} context's
Awareness silently never got its 'change' listener registered, so a
human cursor arriving on any shard but the first would never evict an
agent's hold there. Already reachable today (multiple contexts are a
real, tested capability of workspace-store.ts), and guaranteed to fire
once any Collection gets its own shard (#120).

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Hold clocks, TTL timers, and eviction wiring are now scoped per Awareness instance and client ID. Tests cover concurrent instances, delayed initialization, and independent TTL expiration.

Changes

Hold eviction and TTL isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-instance hold state and TTL cleanup
src/lib/server/holds.ts
Clocks and TTL timers use nested Awareness and client ID maps. Cleanup, expiry, and test resets affect the correct instance.
Per-instance eviction registration
src/lib/server/holds.ts
Eviction wiring tracks each Awareness instance independently.
Multi-instance eviction and TTL tests
src/lib/server/holds.test.ts
Tests verify independent eviction wiring and separate 100-second TTL boundaries for shared client IDs.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5b069

The change enables hold eviction for every Awareness instance, but the current implementation can still leave a hold stale when concurrent contexts share a token, and it may retain destroyed contexts in memory. Merge should wait for these bounded correctness and lifecycle issues to be addressed or explicitly accepted.

Scope TTL timers by Awareness instance.

When the same token holds records in two Awareness instances, both calls use the same clientId. The second scheduleTtl() call clears the first instance's timer and replaces it here. The first hold then does not expire after AGENT_HOLD_TTL_MS and can keep its record unavailable. Key timer state by both Awareness and clientId, and add a fake-timer test that verifies both holds expire independently.

agentClocks/agentTtlTimers were keyed only by the synthetic clientId
(deterministic per access token, regardless of which shard's Awareness
it's operating against). A cross-shard agent hold batch under the same
token now legitimately holds on two different Awareness instances at
once (#125 made hold_records capable of this) — the second shard's
scheduleTtl() call was silently cancelling the first shard's timer via
the shared clientId key, so that hold never auto-expired.

Both maps are now Map<Awareness, Map<number, T>>, with get-or-create
helpers threaded through writeRemoteState/scheduleTtl/clearTtl.

635/635 tests passing (2 new, proving independent TTL expiry across
two Awareness instances under the same clientId).

Addressing the outside-diff finding in review 5061243738 (src/lib/server/holds.ts:225, TTL timer scoping): confirmed real and fixed in 5b0699c. agentClocks/agentTtlTimers are now Map<Awareness, Map<number, T>> instead of Map<number, T>, so the same token's synthetic clientId no longer collides across two different shards' Awareness instances holding under it concurrently. Added two fake-timer tests proving independent 100s expiry across two Awareness instances under the same clientId — the exact scenario the finding described.

Use weak keys for per-Awareness state.

Map strongly retains each Awareness key. agentClocks never removes these keys, and expired timers leave empty entries in agentTtlTimers. Destroyed Awareness instances can therefore remain reachable for the process lifetime.

Use WeakMap<Awareness, Map<number, ...>> for the outer containers. Keep a separate test-only timer registry if test reset still needs to cancel active timers.
