Summary

An on-demand top-N query could become an unbounded subscription after a visible row moved or disappeared.

In issue #1880, a 12-row recent-items feed expanded to 6,311 rows and 4 MB after each write.

This PR repairs the same bounded provider prefix. The current result stays visible until the prefix, boundary ties, and any refill finish.

What went wrong

The initial query asked the adapter for the required window:

loadSubset({ where, orderBy, limit: 10 })

A visible delete or sort-key change invalidated that ordered coverage. The loader then requested only the filter:

loadSubset({ where }) // Every matching row

The adapter had to fetch and retain the full filtered source. The loader also released the finite window acquisitions after that request settled.

How the repair works

The loader now requests the ordered prefix from the start of the provider order:

loadSubset({
  where,
  orderBy,
  limit: offset + limit,
  refetch: true,
})

The request omits the transport offset because it starts at the provider prefix. The loader then requests the boundary tie and any missing rows.

refetch forces a new acquisition for the same demand. It bypasses completed work and an active cached request without changing demand identity.

The old window remains public during this work. The loader releases the superseded acquisitions only after the full repair succeeds.

If another ordering mutation arrives, the loader starts a replacement repair before the obsolete chain can request more rows.

Publication and adapter lifecycle

Collections and Effects publish one coherent result after the authoritative repair finishes. They do not expose the intermediate prefix, tie, or refill states.

Effects also keep this rule during truncate replay. An aborted obsolete participant transfers its publication hold to the replacement replay.

Asynchronous initial ordered loads now honor skipInitial. Their rows do not appear later as initial enter callbacks.

Query DB treats refetch as internal operation control. It does not include the flag in query keys, unload identity, or query-function metadata.

A Query DB refetch settles only after the Collection applies its rows and any post-write fetch becomes authoritative. Final-owner release rejects the caller with AbortError.

Invariants and limits

  • Every repair path finishes, abandons, or upgrades to full-source recovery. It cannot remain held without pending work.
  • A newer invalidation generation stops the obsolete chain before its next tie or refill request.
  • A failed bounded repair retains old leases until authoritative full-source recovery succeeds.
  • Held Effect deltas compare against the last callback-visible result. Ordinary updates keep their cheaper immediate classification.
  • Object-valued Sets use one-to-one value matching, so equal-size Sets with different values still produce updates.
  • Full-source recovery remains necessary for unsafe plans, failed bounded requests, and boundaries that the provider cannot express.
  • A short limited response does not prove source exhaustion. Positive unmet demand can still require a full-source request.
  • The bound applies to provider transfer. It does not limit the Collection's local replay of rows that it already holds.
  • Query result ordering and query semantics do not change.

Implementation guide

  • The ordered source loader owns prefix repair, generation fencing, fallback, and acquisition retirement.
  • The Effect pipeline owns callback publication and held-delta classification.
  • Query DB owns refetch identity, applied settlement, post-write authority, and cancellation.
  • The ordered and Query DB oracles cover request shape, publication cuts, ownership, underfilled sources, and failure recovery.

Verification

  • @tanstack/db: 214 test files and 6,366 tests passed. Type checks reported no errors.
  • @tanstack/query-db-collection: 28 test files and 735 tests passed. The suite skipped one test. Type checks reported no errors.
  • Both affected package builds passed.
  • Twelve focused permanent regressions and six executable review probes passed.
  • Changed-file ESLint and Prettier checks passed. git diff --check passed.
  • Package-wide DB lint still reports one unrelated existing error in collection-subscription-lifecycle-publication.property.test.ts:627.

Checklist

  • I tested this code locally with pnpm test.

  • This change is docs, CI, or development only.

Closes #1880

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an option to refresh data for an existing request, even when results are cached. Refreshes preserve the request’s identity and update its existing cache entry.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved recovery for ordered queries after relevant row changes. When safe, only the affected ordered window is refreshed; otherwise, the system reloads the full source.
    • Effects retain the last complete result while recovery is pending and publish accumulated changes after recovery succeeds.
    • Corrected equality checks for sets of objects, preventing missed updates when set contents change or appear in a different order.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Ordered query recovery now uses bounded prefix requests when repair is eligible, with full-source recovery retained for unsafe or failed cases. Refetch requests revalidate existing demands without changing demand identity. Effects retain the last complete result until ordered repair settles. Object-valued Sets are compared by deeply equal members.

Changes

Ordered Query Repair

Layer / File(s) Summary
Refetch demand and application
packages/db/src/types.ts, packages/db/src/query/ir-stable-identity.ts, packages/db/src/collection/subscription.ts, packages/db/src/query/subset-dedupe.ts, packages/query-db-collection/src/query.ts, packages/db/tests/query/subset-dedupe.test.ts, packages/query-db-collection/tests/load-subset-lifecycle-oracle.test.ts
refetch starts a new acquisition for an existing semantic demand and is excluded from demand and query-key identity. Query Collection observers wait for refreshed results to apply. Cancellation rejects a refetch when its final acquisition owner releases it.
Bounded ordered-window repair
packages/db/src/query/live/ordered-source-loader.ts, packages/db/src/query/live/collection-subscriber.ts, packages/db/src/query/live/ARCHITECTURE.md, packages/db/tests/query/ordered-source-loader-state.test.ts, packages/db/tests/query/ordered-default-work.test.ts, packages/db/tests/query/ordered-demand-retirement.test.ts, packages/db/tests/query/pagination-oracle.property.test.ts, docs/contributing/oracle-coverage.md, docs/contributing/oracle-reviews/*
Eligible ordering invalidations trigger bounded prefix repair that can continue through boundary and refill acquisitions. Unsafe or failed repairs use full-source recovery. Tests cover request shapes, repair replacement, acquisition release, and pagination traces.
Effect publication and repair validation
packages/db/src/query/effect.ts, packages/db/tests/d2-source-reconciliation-oracle.property.test.ts, packages/db/tests/query/ordered-work-oracle.property.test.ts, .changeset/fix-ordered-query-revalidation.md
Effects defer callback publication while ordered repairs are pending and flush accumulated net changes after success. Initial loading waits for ordered publications to settle. Tests cover held repairs and delta classification; the changeset records patch releases for both packages.

Object-valued Set Equality

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deep Set matching and tests
packages/db/src/utils.ts, packages/db/tests/utils.property.test.ts, packages/db/tests/effect.test.ts
Object-valued Sets require one-to-one matches of deeply equal values, regardless of insertion order. Tests check differing members and Effect update events.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d6ba7

An ordered query Effect can stop delivering updates after a particular repair cancellation, and some Set-valued updates can stall publication. Resolve these cases before merging unless their impact is explicitly accepted.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to d6ba7

The reviewed paths preserve query filtering and request identity while keeping intermediate repairs out of published results. No introduced security issue was established, but provider-side limits and deployment-specific controls remain unverified.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — A caller able to trigger ordered-query invalidation can induce another provider acquisition for that demand. The examined request retains its filter and prefix limit; the maximum backend work and deployment-level exposure are not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Refetch deliberately makes a new request for an existing demand rather than trusting a completed result, but retains the established subscription, query-function, and unload boundaries.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Query DB waits for refetched results to be applied or rejects on failure or cancellation. Effect publication stays held while authoritative repairs remain pending or have failed, limiting exposure of intermediate results.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Where untrusted clients can repeatedly trigger invalidation, verify provider-side authorization, execution-cost limits, and request throttling independently of the client-supplied prefix limit.

Keep the replacement hold for late obsolete-request rejections.

When handleTruncate() aborts an ordered repair, recordLoadSubsetError() suppresses the source-error event for the aborted request. If that request rejects after the replacement replay completes, pendingTruncateReplacement is already undefined. trackOrderedPublication() then calls finish(false), sets orderedPublicationFailed, and leaves the live Effect withholding callbacks and skipInitial completion.

Associate the replacement completion with the obsolete participant until that participant settles, or ignore its cancellation rejection. Do not treat an unsettled replacement becoming settled as proof that no replacement exists.

In `@packages/db/src/query/effect.ts` around lines 850 - 870, Update
trackOrderedPublication’s rejection handling so a late rejection from an
obsolete ordered repair does not call finish(false) after its replacement replay
has completed. Preserve the replacement association until the obsolete
participant settles, or identify and ignore its cancellation rejection; do not
treat an already-settled replacement as proof that none exists.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Bound the Set-matching search.

If a Set contains many distinct objects with equal values and one unmatched member, matchValues retries every assignment of the equal members. For example, eleven { id: 1 } objects followed by { id: 2 }, compared with twelve separate { id: 1 } objects, can explore 12! assignments before returning false. A row update that compares these Sets can therefore stall Effect publication. Cache candidate comparisons and use a polynomial-time bipartite matcher instead of recursive backtracking. Add a regression test with ambiguous members and one mismatch.

In `@packages/db/src/utils.ts` at line 135, Replace the recursive assignment
search in matchValues with a polynomial-time bipartite matching approach,
caching candidate comparisons so ambiguous equal-valued Set members are not
repeatedly evaluated. Preserve correct matching semantics and add a regression
test with ambiguous members and one unmatched value to verify the comparison
returns false efficiently.
