This follow-up fixes the review findings from #29 that still reproduce on current master.

Review the cancellation boundary closely. The public token keeps its clone-shared, permanent signal but now wraps Tokio's cancellation token instead of an atomic flag. One token covers the full indexing run. Cancelling it drops active provider futures, stops batch splitting and retries, and blocks artifact publication after the final progress callback. Embedding capacity still comes from bounded_parallelism; the configured batch size, request concurrency, and maximum in-flight inputs do not change.

The incremental update publication boundary also changed. Reads, parsing, and embedding now finish before stored data changes. A file found during discovery is not treated as deleted if a later read fails. Failed preparation keeps the prior hash, chunks, vectors, BM25 entries, references, and type relations. The write phase stays synchronous and uses the existing per-store replacement operations. This PR does not add a cross-store transaction.

The remaining fixes are independent:

  • Authentication, rate-limit, and other HTTP error classes survive truncated response bodies. A body timeout remains a timeout because retrying it could duplicate upstream work.
  • Hybrid results keep descending scores when an unreranked RRF tail follows a reranked prefix.
  • CLI cancellation gives an already-ready operation result priority over an already-ready signal.

Current master does not contain the reported detached signal task. cancel_on_signal polls both futures inline and does not spawn a listener.

Validation:

  • cargo test -q -p vera-core -p vera-cli
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy -p vera-core -p vera-cli --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • git diff --check

Clippy needed allowances for two unrelated warnings already present before this branch.

Summary by cubic

Fixes indexing regressions by making cancellation cooperative across the pipeline and publishing updates only after parsing and embedding succeed. Provider errors now take precedence over simultaneous cancellation, and progress events stop once cancelled.

  • Cancellation: replace the atomic flag with a Tokio cancellation token shared across the run. Cancelling drops in-flight provider futures, stops batch splitting/retries, and blocks publication after embedding. A completed provider error wins over a simultaneous cancel signal (CLI select is biased the same way). Progress callbacks are suppressed after cancellation. Embedding parallelism still derives from bounded_parallelism; configured batch size and concurrency are unchanged.
  • Incremental publication: parse/chunk/extract relations, then embed; only on success replace chunks, vectors, BM25 docs, references, type relations, and file hashes/states. A discovered file that later fails to read is no longer treated as deleted. On provider/read failure the prior index data remains. Summary counts report only successfully published files.
  • HTTP errors: truncated bodies still classify as auth (401/403) or rate limit (429); body timeouts remain timeouts to avoid duplicating upstream work.
  • Hybrid retrieval: keep descending scores when appending the unreranked RRF tail after a reranked prefix.

Review notes

  • Validate cancellation through embedding (error precedence and no post-cancel progress) and that no artifacts publish after cancellation or failed embedding. No config or public API changes expected. Tests cover in-flight cancellation, boundary after embedding, preservation on read/embedding failures, error classification with truncated bodies, and score monotonicity.

Written for commit 47afeaa. Summary will update on new commits.

Review in cubic

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Cancelling an indexing operation now reliably stops in-progress embedding and prevents incomplete index artifacts from being published.
    • Failed or unreadable file updates now preserve existing indexed data.
    • Authentication, rate-limit, and timeout errors are reported more accurately when provider responses are incomplete.
    • Hybrid search results now maintain consistent descending score order when reranking only part of the results.
  • Reliability
    • Incremental indexing counts and stored file state now reflect only successfully processed files.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds asynchronous cancellation to embedding and indexing, defers index mutations until successful embedding, preserves existing data after update failures, and maintains descending score order in hybrid retrieval.

Changes

Cancellation propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Provider cancellation and error handling
crates/vera-core/src/cancellation.rs, crates/vera-core/src/embedding/*
CancellationToken wraps the async token. Embedding requests return EmbeddingError::Cancelled when cancellation wins. Truncated error bodies retain status classifications.
Pipeline and CLI cancellation behavior
crates/vera-core/src/indexing/pipeline.rs, crates/vera-core/src/indexing/pipeline_tests.rs, crates/vera-cli/src/helpers.rs
The pipeline checks cancellation before artifact publication. Tests cover in-flight and post-embedding cancellation. CLI selection prioritizes operation errors when both branches are ready.

Atomic indexing updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Prepared update and deferred commit
crates/vera-core/src/indexing/update.rs
Parsing and embedding complete before stored rows are replaced. Failed files preserve existing indexed data.
Update concurrency and preservation tests
crates/vera-core/src/indexing/update_tests.rs
Tests verify bounded embedding concurrency and preservation of existing data after unreadable files or embedding failures.

Hybrid ranking order

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reranked tail score handling
crates/vera-core/src/retrieval/hybrid.rs, crates/vera-core/src/retrieval/hybrid_tests.rs
Untouched result scores are capped to preserve descending order, including when reranker scores are negative.

Also assert that the file hash is unchanged.

The test proves parse data survives an embedding failure. It does not prove the update is retryable. If set_file_hash ran for types.ts, the next update would classify the file as unchanged and the new content would never be indexed. One extra assertion covers that property.

🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid duplicating file contents in memory.

modified and added already own their (path, content, hash) tuples. Line 392 and Line 397 clone them into files_to_index, so every file content exists twice until the function returns. current_files still holds a third copy. Consume the source vectors instead.

Note the same pattern at Line 463: all_chunks clones every chunk of every prepared file, so chunk content is held twice until publication. You can borrow the chunks for embedding and insertion, because insert_chunks and Bm25Index::insert_chunks take slices and prepared_files stays alive until the end of the publication block.

modified.len() and added.len() are read before this point for the progress event, so capture those counts in locals first if they are still needed later.

As per path instructions: "Enforce the repo's Rust guidelines: minimal LOC, no duplicated logic (suggest extraction), simple readable code over clever code".

Persist parse failures for modified files.

When a modified file returns FileIndexStatus::ParseError, the code discards it before publication. Old chunks remain searchable, the old Indexed state and chunk_count remain, and the old hash causes the file to be retried as modified on every update.

Collect failed files separately. Remove old parse and chunk data for modified failures, persist their ParseError states, and update their hashes. Do not count them as successful files. Keep provider failures deferred.

Flatten the duplicated progress branches.

ParsingDone and EmbeddingDone { count: 0 } are emitted from three places with two inverted files_to_index.is_empty() checks. The observable event sequence is the same in all cases: one ParsingDone, then one EmbeddingDone. Emit each event once.

Batch the file-hash writes. set_file_hash runs outside an explicit transaction, so this loop performs one autocommit transaction per prepared file. Add a batch hash method and call it once for prepared_files.

…s post-cancel progress

When an embedding batch fails at the same moment cancellation fires,
report the provider error instead of masking it with 'operation
cancelled', matching the biased select in cancel_on_signal. Skip
progress callbacks once the token is cancelled so cancellation returns
without reporting further progress, as documented.

citron07r added a commit to citron07r/Vera that referenced this pull request Aug 19, 2026
Rebased onto master after VeraTools#60 restructured the update path.

VeraTools#60 stages parsed files in `PreparedFile` and defers every destructive
write until embedding has succeeded, so a read or provider failure leaves
the previous index intact. The original version of this change wrote parse
artifacts immediately after parsing, which would have reopened that window.
Verified: moving the batched write back to just after parsing fails VeraTools#60's
own `update_embedding_failure_preserves_existing_parse_data` (0 references
surviving instead of 1).

So the parallelism is applied inside that structure rather than around it.
Parsing runs under rayon and produces `PreparedFile` values; the writes stay
at the same point in the sequence, only batched:

- tree-sitter parsing is CPU-bound and now runs in parallel, with
  `collect` preserving `files_to_index` order so `prepared_files` is
  ordered identically to the sequential path
- `chunk_file_for_update` returns its parse error instead of pushing into a
  shared `Vec`, which is what let it move under rayon
- per-file `insert_references`/`insert_type_relations` become one
  `insert_parse_artifacts_batch`, and per-file `set_file_hash` becomes one
  `set_file_hashes_batch`
- freshness hashing parallelized, and vector search batch-fetches chunk
  metadata instead of one query per candidate

Both of VeraTools#60's atomicity regression tests still pass.

* perf(indexing): parallelize the update path and batch metadata writes

Rebased onto master after #60 restructured the update path.

artifacts immediately after parsing, which would have reopened that window.
Verified: moving the batched write back to just after parsing fails #60's
own `update_embedding_failure_preserves_existing_parse_data` (0 references

at the same point in the sequence, only batched:

- tree-sitter parsing is CPU-bound and now runs in parallel, with

  `set_file_hashes_batch`
- freshness hashing parallelized, and vector search batch-fetches chunk
  metadata instead of one query per candidate

Both of #60's atomicity regression tests still pass.

* test(storage): cover the batch metadata APIs directly

`set_file_hashes_batch`, `insert_parse_artifacts_batch` and
`get_chunks_by_ids` only had indirect coverage through their callers. Adds
multi-row persistence, replace-on-repeat, the empty-input early return, and
the partial-result case the vector search path relies on.

Also collapses the two fixture guards in the ordering test into one: the
chunks are inserted in id order, so insertion order and primary-key order
are the same sequence and the second assertion could never fail
independently.

* test(storage): assert what the batch metadata tests claim to check

Both tests passed without verifying the behaviour named in the test itself.

insert_parse_artifacts_batch_persists_both_kinds_across_files asserted only
that find_callers("helper") returned 2 rows. That count holds just as well if
both references were stored under a single file path, so the "across files"
part went unverified: a batch that ignored the second file's path and attributed
every reference to the first would have stayed green. It now collects the
returned CallerRef file paths, sorts them, and requires exactly src/lib.py and
src/main.rs.

set_file_hashes_batch_persists_every_row_and_replaces_on_repeat re-checked only
src/main.rs after the second batch wrote that one key. A batch that cleared the
table before inserting, or otherwise dropped rows it was not given, still
produced hash-c for src/main.rs and passed. It now also asserts src/lib.py is
untouched at hash-b, so a partial write that takes out unrelated rows fails.

Both new assertions were confirmed to fail against a deliberately broken
variant before being kept.

* perf(indexing): preserve cancellation and avoid batch copies
