Summary

Lazy join demand previously accumulated remote subset subscriptions as a bounded window changed.

This change keeps the existing segment model and adds targeted background consolidation:

  • Monotonic growth requests only uncovered keys.
  • Contraction or churn that would leave fragmented coverage requests one complete current-key union.
  • Established intersecting segments remain live until that union reaches applied settlement.
  • Failed or obsolete candidates cannot retire established coverage.
  • A retry after candidate failure requests the same union again.

This avoids both the fragmented-subscription drift from #1887 and the cumulative 1 + 2 + … + N key loading caused by replacing the full union on every expansion.

Scope and code weight

The implementation stays inside the existing segment abstraction. It does not add a second generation/waiter lifecycle or change CollectionSubscription.

  • Previous PR diff: +815 / -156 across 9 files
  • Current PR diff: +409 / -60 across 5 files; the final increase is oracle evidence and its coverage record, with no production-code change
  • Controller: 256 lines, down from 387 in the previous revision (193 on main)

This PR does not add an adapter strategy API, custom string comparison, collation-aware predicates, or cursor pagination.

Contract

Growth is delta-only. A churn replacement owns the complete current union, but it becomes authoritative only after applied settlement. Until then, prior intersecting segments continue to own coverage.

Verification

  • Contradictory snapshot admission crashes before established coverage can be released.
  • Legal replacement histories cover applied success, rejection plus retry, and obsolescence at request/abort checkpoints.
  • A compiled-includes adapter fixture makes unload evict its owned rows and proves a rejected replacement keeps established child rows publicly visible.
  • A finalize-on-rejection hostile mutant fails at that public checkpoint ([] instead of [200, 300]).
  • Full @tanstack/db oracle campaign: 2,171 tests passed with no type errors
  • Full @tanstack/db runtime suite: 6,434 tests passed
  • @tanstack/db production build passed
  • @tanstack/db ESLint passed

The local full-suite command also surfaced four existing type-check diagnostics in the untouched subset-error-matrix.test.ts; this PR does not change that file.

Closes #1887

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

SubsetDemandController now uses generation-tracked acquisitions for full-key replacements. Established coverage remains active until a current replacement applies. Tests cover replacement success and failure, retries, and changing demand.

Changes

Subset demand replacement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Demand state and replacement rules
packages/db/src/query/live/subset-demand-controller.ts, packages/db/src/query/live/ARCHITECTURE.md
The controller tracks demand generations, acquisition coverage, and readiness waiters. It retains established coverage while a replacement is pending and releases coverage when demand no longer intersects it. The architecture documents these rules.
Replacement acquisition lifecycle
packages/db/src/query/live/subset-demand-controller.ts, packages/db/src/collection/subscription.ts
The controller requests snapshots for the full key set and installs a current successful replacement before releasing prior coverage. Failed and obsolete replacements do not retire established coverage. Subscription failure reporting is scoped to each acquisition, and snapshot observation uses the captured acquisition.
Replacement behavior and release note
packages/db/tests/query/includes-temporal-oracle.test.ts, packages/db/tests/query/load-subset-join-dedupe.test.ts, packages/db/tests/query/load-subset-source-readiness-refinement-oracle.test.ts, packages/db/tests/collection-auto-index.test.ts, packages/db/tests/collection-subscription-replay-oracle.property.test.ts, .changeset/replace-fragmented-join-demand.md
Tests check union requests, readiness, releases, replacement failures, retries, demand changes, and obsolete replay failures. Join lookup expectations now include the complete key union. The patch changeset describes replacement behavior.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to a8444

The supplied evidence identifies no outstanding issue that should delay merging after normal checks.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to a8444

The replacement design preserves existing coverage during a successful transition, and no new access-control exposure was identified. One bounded availability risk remains if an adapter does not finish an aborted request: newer demand can wait behind it.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: An aborted replacement that never settles can retain the pending slot, preventing the latest key union from starting and leaving its readiness unresolved. Established coverage remains available, but newly demanded keys can be blocked by obsolete work.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The identified liveness risk affects replacement and readiness within a demand-plan state. The inspected paths do not establish a tenant-wide or service-wide escalation from that state.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Request abort signals and acquisition-identity checks control stale asynchronous work and failure reporting. The changed test callbacks do not create an additional attacker-reachable boundary.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — The two-acquisition limit depends on completion of an obsolete pending request before a newer union can begin; cancellation alone does not free its controller slot.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Define and verify an abort-settlement guarantee at the adapter boundary, including an obsolete request that does not promptly settle, without silently exceeding the intended two-acquisition limit.
