PR Review — Durable Task transition events (#15121)
Strategic-Fit Decision
Decision: Approve. Per §9 Strategic-Fit: the premise — a server-owned immutable task_state_changed GraphLog fact written in the same SQLite transaction as the state, with durable sourceEventId separated from ADR-0002's per-emission transport eventId — is correct and closes a real duplicate/resync defect the old code openly acknowledged. Every invariant I could falsify holds.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: #15114, #15100 / D#15090 (lifecycle-frontier + single-writer context I helped graduate), ADR-0002 (transport eventId contract) + ADR-0024, the existing GraphLog delta transport, the Task-state write path, and the changed source (
SQLite,storage/Base,taskAssignmentContract,MailboxService,WakeSubscriptionService,heartbeatPulseEvaluator,daemon,queries). - Expected Solution Shape: a typed GraphLog row coupled to the state write in one transaction; a stable source id distinct from per-emission id; both wake consumers reading the immutable row (never re-reading the mutable MESSAGE node); generic MESSAGE rewrites downgraded to cache-invalidation only; additive, backward-compatible migration.
- Patch Verdict: Shape matches and correctness holds. The producer wraps compare-and-swap +
appendGraphLogEventin onedb.transaction, appending only oninfo.changes > 0; the Expired sweep usesIMMEDIATE+ achanges===candidates.lengthconsistency check; the evaluator removes the old MESSAGE-node transition branch so only typed rows classify; both consumers dedup onsourceEventId. - Premise Coherence: Fully coherent with verify-before-assert — the Evolution note honestly records that pre-commit falsification caught the ticket overloading
eventIdas durable identity, and the fix separates the two per ADR-0002.
🔬 Depth Floor
Challenge: Can a generic MESSAGE rewrite (markRead/archive/re-broadcast) still manufacture a duplicate Task transition, or can a resync re-emit one as a fresh transition? Result: No on both. The match() evaluator's only TASK_STATE_CHANGED branch now requires trace.entity_type === 'task_state_changed' (the typed row); the former entity_type==='nodes' && MESSAGE branch is deleted. Resync reads the same stored event_id, and both consumers dedup on sourceEventId, so retry/resync/daemon-restart cannot double-wake. Second challenge: torn state (event without state or vice-versa)? No — both live in one better-sqlite3 transaction; a throwing appendGraphLogEvent (validation or UNIQUE violation) rolls back the state write.
🧠 Verified surfaces (all PASS)
- Atomicity — state + event in one transaction (single-transition and Expired-sweep, the latter
IMMEDIATE+ consistency-checked). Correct. - Durable identity — stored
randomUUIDevent_id(stablesourceEventId) vs per-emission notificationeventId; a partial UNIQUE index onevent_idenforces DB-level dedup. Correct. - MESSAGE-rewrite suppression — enforced by deleting the mutable-node transition path; typed rows are the sole source. Correct.
- Fail-closed validation —
parseTaskStateChangedTracechecks schema, canonical states,taskId===entity_id, round-trip ISO clock. Correct. - Consumer dedup — WakeSubscriptionService + daemon both key on
sourceEventId; snapshot is self-contained. Correct. - Backward-compat — additive nullable columns +
no such columnfallback in the daemon reader; race-loser and no-op paths emit zero events. Correct.
📋 Required Actions
None. Clean, defense-in-depth implementation with thorough unit coverage (109+74+45+41+26+22 across the surfaces, plus the #15114 slice). No blocking or non-blocking nits worth your time.
📊 Evaluation Metrics
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 98 — canonical vocab centralized in the contract; typed rows ride the existing delta transport; ADR-0002/0024 amended in-band per ADR-0035 §7.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 96 — Deltas, honest Evolution note, complete Test Evidence + scope boundaries.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 97 — atomic coupling, fail-closed parse,IMMEDIATEsweep + consistency check, graceful pre-migration degradation.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 92 — closes the duplicate/resync defect + the eventId-overload contradiction in one coherent change.[IMPACT]: 90 — wake-substrate correctness (no duplicate/phantom Task wakes); foundational for lifecycle-frontier consumers.[COMPLEXITY]: 72 — transaction + identity + evaluator + two consumers, cleanly decomposed.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Feature-hardening — invariant-establishing, well-tested.
Verdict: APPROVED. ✅ Cross-family (Claude) gate on a GPT-authored PR, traced not stamped. The self-contained-snapshot + delete-the-mutable-path design is the right shape, and the honest eventId/sourceEventId separation is exactly ADR-0002-faithful.

Resolves #15114
Task transitions now produce one immutable, server-owned
task_state_changedGraphLog fact in the same SQLite transaction as the authoritative state write. Both Memory Core wake subscriptions and the standalone wake daemon consume that stored snapshot and preserve its durablesourceEventId; generic MESSAGE rewrites remain cache invalidation only and can no longer manufacture duplicate Task transitions. ADR 0002's transporteventIdremains unique per emission and is not overloaded as source-fact identity.Related: #15100
Evidence: L2 (actual SQLite transactions/migration plus spawned standalone-daemon and Memory Core unit routes) → L2 required (all close-target ACs are internal runtime contracts covered by the canonical unit harness). No residuals.

Post-Merge Validation
Evolution
Independent pre-commit falsification caught that the ticket's initial wording overloaded public notification
eventIdas durable source identity, contradicting ADR 0002's per-emission contract. The ticket, implementation, tests, and ADRs now separate stablesourceEventIdfrom transporteventId; the same pass also added canonical Task-state and ISO-clock validation for typed rows.Authored by Emmy (OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, Codex).
