The ledger, and the one amendment to a frozen protocol - #163
Merged

Conversation
SPEC-v0.9 §3. StateStore has been frozen since v0.6 §9.2 and the expected number of new methods has been zero. It is one parameter and one read: charges= on the two methods that reserve, and consumptions() for the surfaces and G22 to read. No guarantee id; item 5 spends what this stores. The charge lands inside the transaction that writes the reservation, on all three backends. That is the whole of the amendment's value, and the spike discharged §3.3's contingency before this item started: a column reads 0 for root and mid in a three-level chain where the ledger reads 100 each, and a split transaction leaves reserved=1, charged=0 on a crash. The Postgres mechanism is SELECT ... FOR UPDATE on a per-grant anchor row, taken before the sum, ordered by grant id so two transactions taking two anchors cannot deadlock. Per grant and not per store, so two budgets on two grants do not serialise against each other. And the race test needed a BARRIER to be a test at all. Without one each worker builds its own store first, and connection setup, search_path and the migration check spread twenty-four processes out in time: the unlocked implementation "held" in four runs of four. That is CONTRIBUTING.md's fourth mutation pattern exactly, a window not reproduced, and I shipped it green before noticing. With the barrier the unlocked version spends 2400 against a limit of 1000 with zero refusals, three runs of three, and the locked one spends exactly 1000 every time. T409 runs three times for §3.6.2's reason: a broken implementation is occasionally right. The insert is idempotent on (effect_key, attempt, grant_id, metric) because v0.6 §4.3.2 Table A1 row 2 retries a lost insert once, and an unconstrained append would double-charge precisely when an operator's network is already misbehaving. The in-memory store enforces the same key by hand rather than being the one backend that does not. check_charges is the predicate in one place, pure like plan_reservation and for the same reason: three backends cannot drift on the arithmetic. Inclusive, so a limit of 0 permits a zero-valued action and refuses every other, which §3.3.1 records against an earlier draft claiming a zero budget stops a grant. BudgetExhaustedError is package-internal and deliberately not an ActionDenied subclass: _secure's handler for that type appends APPROVAL_DENIED unconditionally, which item 2 already met with the scope refusal. Item 5 converts it where the events and the receipt are owed. 0007_budget_ledger is additive and forward-only, and T414a drives the reverse direction v0.6 §3.5 requires: an older binary opening the migrated database refuses at open, naming the migration. The conformance fixtures keep the amended signature. They are deliberately broken stores, and a broken store that stopped being a StateStore would stop testing anything.

The review reproduced the race exactly, could not make the locked version overspend across seven adversarial configurations, and verified the anchor lock is sound by making it deadlock without the sort. One blocking defect, and it is in the one path §3.3's second bar is built on. _resolve_lost_insert and _resolve_lost_renewal call _authorize_and_reserve again after an ambiguous COMMIT and did not forward charges. Neither resolver even took them. So the retried transaction re-inserted the reservation and NOTHING else: probed on the a1.row2.reinsert branch, reserved=True charged=0, and against a budget permitting one spend driven ten times, 10 reservations and 0 ledger rows with a real spend of 1000 against a limit of 100. That is reserved=1, charged=0, which is the exact state §3.3.0's spike named as disqualifying the alternative design, reproduced inside the chosen one. And it falsified §3.3's second and stated-stronger bar for touching a frozen protocol, that one re-read resolves the reservation and the charge together. The comments at both sites already record the same mistake being found once before, on approval_id. The test that should have caught it was testing the wrong thing. T411 called _charge_locked directly, so it asserted the idempotence of a writer that branch never invokes, which is why it stayed green. T411a drives the real branch by making _commit lose the write, over both A1 row 2 and A2, and fails on both without the fix. Five more from the review, all real: The rolling window was half-open on all three backends where §2.5 says [now - window, now], dropping a row at exactly the floor, in the permissive direction, and inconsistent with consumptions(since=) which is closed. T408d pins the boundary. M5 was reported green-but-uncaught on the argument that nothing releases until item 5. The review showed it is catchable now: item 4 ships the column, the migration and the filter, and only the caller is item 5's. T408e sets released_at directly, the same white-box reach T411 already makes, and the mutation now fails on all three backends. Charge validated nothing while Budget beside it validates everything, and a negative amount unwinds the sum so the grant spends again: the compensation §12 forbids, reachable by anyone calling the store directly. Two charges on one (grant, metric) in a tuple were invisible to each other in the predicate and then collapsed on the unique key, which is a spend the ledger never records. Harmless by coincidence for the one shape §2.2 creates; refused now, so it is a property. consumptions() claimed "newest last" and returns insertion order, which ordinary host clock skew inverts. Also: T410 was named in §9.4 and not written, so the SQLite race is now driven too; and §10 says where the four new names live and §3.5.1 names the budget_anchor table, which §3.5's growth discussion had missed.

…in mine T247 flaked twice on CI in one session with "no two children ran at the same time, so nothing was contended". That is its own guard reporting, correctly, that the run proved nothing, and it is exactly the defect the item 4 review found in this milestone's race test: without a barrier the children never contend. Feeding every child before waiting on any was not enough. Interpreter startup, importing ctrlrun, the connection and the migration check all happen first and vary by more than the work does, so six processes routinely ran one after another. The comment already in the file records an earlier version being fixed the same way and not far enough. A filesystem barrier: everything expensive happens above it, each child announces itself, then spins until every sibling has. Bounded at thirty seconds, because a test that hangs says nothing (v0.4 §3.6); past the deadline a child proceeds alone and the _overlapping assertion fails, which is the honest outcome rather than a green one. Eight consecutive runs pass locally. It is a v0.7 test and unrelated to the budget ledger, fixed here because this is the session that learned what was wrong with it.

Preserve non-empty charges in the broken-store fixtures.
StateStore.reserve_effect requires a store that accepts charges to validate and record them atomically. A store that cannot support charges must refuse them, not accept and ignore them. The current fixture cases use charges=(), but direct callers can pass non-empty charges to these methods.
Forward charges on delegated calls. For synthetic reservation paths, preserve charge handling or explicitly refuse non-empty charges. Each fixture must remain broken only in its named behavior.

Bound charges to the ledger integer range.
Charge accepts arbitrary-size Python integers. SQLite INTEGER and PostgreSQL BIGINT cannot store values above 2**63 - 1. For example, an amount of 2**63 succeeds in InMemoryStateStore but makes each durable backend roll back with a backend-specific exception. A larger limit can also permit a SQLite aggregate to exceed its supported integer range.

Apply both bounds of the closed rolling window.
Both predicates include every row after the floor, including rows where consumed_at > now. A clock regression or a row written by a host with an advanced clock can therefore cause a false budget exhaustion.

Handle naive since values consistently.
With an existing ledger row, InMemoryStateStore raises TypeError when it compares an aware timestamp with a naive since. SQLite instead treats the naive value as local time through _iso. This produces backend-dependent results.

Bound both multiprocessing barriers.
If one worker fails before barrier.wait(), every surviving worker can wait indefinitely. pool.map() then prevents the test from reaching cleanup.
Pass a timeout to both waits. Treat a broken barrier as a worker error.
