Problem

Starting a turn in a long thread repeatedly scans completed turn items while finding unfinished work, delaying other server requests. Reproduced on current main with 17,517 synthetic completed command items and a real Codex turn.

Change

Add a partial index on the thread ID for pending, running, and waiting turn items of every type. Register it as migration 68 so existing and fresh databases receive it. Keep recovery queries and results unchanged.

Scope and approval

Fixes #21578 GitCafe: https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/21578 Triaged bug via the automated issue flow: #21578. Only the unfinished-item index and its regression coverage are changed.

Verification

Final test-only follow-up 3aeff01 also rejects table scans in the plan assertion. All 34 projection tests and targeted lint/format passed; independent review passed both affected files (39 tests), with both reviewers returning MERGE. Runtime measurements below remain from 521eeb4349; production code is identical in the final head.

  • Red first: vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts -t "selects only threads with runtime state that needs recovery" fails on main because SEARCH item USING INDEX orchestration_v2_projection_turn_items_thread_run_idx (thread_id=?) has no partial status predicate. The same test passes with the migration.
  • vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts apps/server/src/persistence/reconcileV2PreviewMigration.test.ts apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations: 64 tests in 19 files passed.
  • Both independent reviewers reran the two affected test files: 39 tests passed; both returned MERGE.
  • Targeted lint and format passed. vpr typecheck in apps/server passed.
  • Real web client on Linux, isolated dev server, Codex GPT-6-Astra: the same prompt returned ok before and after. Migration 68 applied successfully to the existing fixture database.

Sanitized trace transcript, runtime proof, trace extractor.

This is a server-only migration with no changed render paths; the visual fixture matrix is empty. Measurements are indicative under shared VM load. Synthetic projection rows are performance fixtures, not event-replay proof; the after run reuses the thread containing the preceding successful turn. The reporter’s 15.8 GB database and exact latency were not reproduced. Creating the index incurs a one-time table scan during upgrade.

Models: GPT-6.1 Sol and Claude Opus 5.5 through T3 Code (Codex and Claude harnesses).

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 3aeff01

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped server performance fix that adds a partial index for existing unfinished-item recovery queries, with tests covering both query planning and migration registration. It does not alter product behavior, defaults, APIs, or stored data semantics.

📝 Walkthrough

Migration 68 adds a partial index for pending, running, and waiting turn items and registers it. Tests check that preview migrations include migration 68 and that runtime recovery queries use indexes filtered by status.

Changes: Unfinished turn-item recovery index

Layer / File(s)Summary
Add and register the unfinished-item index
apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations/068_UnfinishedTurnItemsIndex.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations.ts
Migration 68 creates a partial index on thread_id for turn items with pending, running, or waiting status. The migration registry includes migration 68.
Check migration and recovery queries
apps/server/src/persistence/reconcileV2PreviewMigration.test.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts
Preview migration tests expect migration 68. The runtime recovery test checks that each item lookup uses an index definition with a WHERE clause containing status.

Explanation

Issue #21578 requires recovery reads to avoid scanning completed turn items. Migration 68 creates orchestration_v2_projection_turn_items_unfinished_idx on thread_id with the pending, running, and waiting status predicate. The migration is registered, and preview migration expectations include it. The regression coverage checks the recovery query plan for a status-filtered index. The supplied verification reports that the check fails before the migration and passes after it. Recovery queries and results remain unchanged.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The supplied change summary limits the changes to the unfinished-item migration, migration registration, preview migration expectations, and recovery-plan regression coverage. These changes support issue #21578. The migration comment and SQL match the issue requirement for unfinished items of every type. No unrelated product behavior or render-path changes are identified. The whole diff was unavailable, so this conclusion relies on the supplied complete summary and the reviewed migration file.

  • test(server): recovery index regression also checks SCAN item lookups3aeff01

Fixed in 3aeff01: the plan check now includes both SEARCH and SCAN item entries, so a table scan fails the existing partial-index assertion. All 34 projection tests pass; independent review passed both affected files (39 tests).

Closing: current main already covers this as of 624e70ecdd. If you still see it on a build that includes that commit, reply and we'll reopen.
