Problem

The server's memory grows by about 25 MB a minute (about 1.7 GB an hour) until the heap limit is hit and the server stops answering. Reported in #25172.

The pull request sync runs a sweep every minute. Each sweep builds a map of every thread's linked pull requests (groups) and reads pull requests through PullRequestReadCache. Finished sweeps are never freed. On a server with 950 threads that have links (18,736 links, 4,035 distinct pull requests), a heap snapshot taken after about 3 hours (nightly 3669) held 215 old groups maps and 2.8 million link-snapshot objects. Counts taken 11.7 and 31.8 minutes after a restart were 11 and 29 maps.

Change

PullRequestReadCache is built on Effect's Cache. Each cache entry keeps the fiber that filled it, and a forked fiber copies its caller's CurrentStackFrame. The sync sweep creates its syncGroup, syncEntry and readGroup functions per sweep, closing over that sweep's groups, so the stored stack frames keep the whole sweep alive. Most pull requests are merged or quiet and are read rarely, so the 512-entry cache holds entries from hundreds of old sweeps.

get and invalidate now run through the existing detachStackFrame helper, the same one GitManager.getPrLookup already uses for this reason. The change is 7 lines in PullRequestReadCache.ts plus a regression test.

Scope and approval

Fixes #25172, which I filed with the heap-snapshot evidence. It has not been triaged yet. I'm opening the fix alongside it because the change is small and focused: a 7-line change that applies an existing helper to the one cache that was missing it, in one file, with no behavior change beyond freeing memory sooner. Happy to hold it until the issue is triaged if you prefer.

Verification

New test in PullRequestReadCache.test.ts runs five sweeps shaped like the real one (a per-run Effect.fn closing over a 1,000-entry map, calling invalidate and get), forces garbage collection and checks that none of the maps is still reachable. It fails without the change (maps stay alive) and passes with it. vp test run src/pullRequest/PullRequestReadCache.test.ts: 8 of 8 pass.
A standalone script and a model of the reactor with sparse reads showed the same retention before the change and none after.
vp lint on apps/server/src/pullRequest reports no errors (one existing warning in PullRequestService.test.ts); vp fmt --check passes.
On a real server (950 threads with links, 4,035 distinct pull requests, 20 GB database), a heap snapshot about 10 minutes after a restart held 11 retained sweep maps and was 505 MB without the change. With the change it held 1 (the sweep in progress) and was 420 MB. Without the change the count reached 29 at 32 minutes and 215 after about 3 hours on the previous nightly (3669). The patched build is the release tag v0.1.3-nightly.20261025.3692 plus this commit.
Not checked: how the patched server behaves over several hours (only the first 10 minutes were snapshotted). Other things the first heap snapshot showed (delayed-effect batch pools, error objects) are not addressed here. tsc --noEmit in this checkout reports errors only in files I did not touch (missing modules in this install).

Takeover

Credit to @bompus for the diagnosis, heap evidence, implementation and regression in #25267. Their commit is preserved on this origin branch because the contribution came from a fork. Main was merged; the takeover reduced the test to one GC job-boundary handoff and shortened the invariant comment. Both cache boundaries retain the author's existing-helper approach.

Evidence

Final head: db9255bfac; merged base: 0a3b561bc0. Evidence was captured at daf6e30653 against f88b33a16d; the final merge changes no server code or dependency lockfile, and the complete PR diff is byte-identical (SHA-256 1024384827fbf170e882b229caa1bc489963cec90093ff4539ab71fa71c64f8a). All 8 scoped tests pass again at final head. Full fixture matrix.

Affected server path	Before	After / proof
Cache caller retention	Same final regression fails: 5 maps retained	8/8 tests pass: 0 maps retained in regression
Invalidation, cancellation, persistence, fallback	Seven existing behavior guards	All seven pass in both controls; no behavior change
Real reactor → service → filesystem cache	Fresh isolated state, warm-up count 0	Runtime transcript: five successful requested sweeps; retained maps 1/1/1 after sweeps 1/3/5, zero active sweeps
Existing helper, other callers, surfaces, longevity	Source-derived scope in matrix	Helper unchanged; shared boundary tests pass; no client/render/contract diff; short-run limits below

Runtime environment: Linux, Node 26.12.1, fresh isolated home with seeding disabled; deterministic synthetic forge transport, real reactor/service/SQLite/filesystem cache. Five summaries, five null-stack reads, five invalidations and ten cache gets completed. All ten request keys remained resident; maps from subsequent four requested sweeps were collected. One first-sweep map remains through a SQLite prepare-cache retaining path. This is qualified short-run evidence, not a claim of zero retention throughout the server.

Verification log

Tests: 7 baseline → 8 total in PullRequestReadCache.test.ts; one regression retained. Base and each single-boundary variant fail; both detachments pass.
Independent review round 1: GPT-6.1 Sol MERGE; Claude Opus 5.5 MERGE; no concrete findings. Review and check log.
check:changed passed format, lint, knip, GraphQL, affected-package typechecks and 8/8 scoped tests. No repo-wide check run.
CodeRabbit GC-startup concern did not reproduce on tested supported Node 22/24/26 main and worker threads; no speculative config change.
Proof audit pass 2: SUFFICIENT, all 7 matrix rows covered; independent runtime reproduction reproduced 0/1/1/1, zero active sweeps and resident request keys. Absolute-zero server retention is not claimed.
Final main-merge gate: scoped 8/8 tests and check:changed pass again at final head. CI: 12 successful, 1 pending, 0 failing at last read; dispatcher owns monitoring. No merge performed.
Blockers: none confirmed in code review.
Unverified: no changed UI surfaces need captures. Live forge/auth, non-null stacks, other mutation/refresh entry points, client/remote E2E, multi-hour stability, capacity, pruning and absence of other retention paths were not established. The observed SQLite retention is outside this patch.
Models/harness: Claude Opus 5.5 / Claude harness (tests, implementation, review B); GPT-6.1 Sol / Codex harness (lead, review A, evidence and proof audits).

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at daf6e30

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This narrowly scoped server fix prevents cached fibers from retaining completed sync-sweep data, while preserving cache results and synchronization behavior. It includes a targeted garbage-collection regression test and introduces no schema, configuration, or deployment changes.

No code changes detected at db9255b. Prior analysis still applies.

Walkthrough

PullRequestReadCache now detaches stack frames in its get and invalidate effects. A new garbage-collection test checks whether data captured during cache operations becomes unreachable.

Changes: Read-cache retention fix

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Detach cache effect stack frames `apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestReadCache.ts`, `apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestReadCache.test.ts`	The `get` and `invalidate` effect wrappers now use `detachStackFrame`. A test runs cache reads and invalidations, then checks whether five weakly referenced data objects have been collected.

Merge Risk: External image Moderate · up to db925

The cache fix has a regression test, but that test could fail to load on a supported runtime that does not honor the late GC flag. Resolve that portability risk before merging.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue [#25172] requires that each one-minute sync sweep's groups map and its data become garbage after the sweep, so memory does not grow by one retained copy per minute. The reviewed head implements the cache boundary of the path that the issue's steps attribute to readCache. In PullRequestReadCache.ts, get and invalidate now run through the existing detachStackFrame helper (apps/server/src/git/detachStackFrame.ts). That helper materializes the caller's stack frame, so a cache entry's filling fiber no longer keeps the sweep closure alive. The regression test does not keep a caller's data alive after its reads and invalidations in PullRequestReadCache.test.ts runs five sweeps. Each sweep uses a per-run Effect.fn that closes over a 1,000-entry map. It forces GC and asserts that no WeakRef target remains. I did not run the tests. The PR reports that the test fails without the change (5 maps retained) and passes with it (8/8). The PR's short runtime evidence shows 1 retained map after sweeps 1, 3 and 5, so retention stays bounded and does not add one map per sweep. Limits: the issue also lists a delayed-effect batch pool path and an Error callError path. This change does not touch those paths. The PR also reports a SQLite prepare-cache path that keeps one first-sweep map alive in a short run. Multi-hour behavior and live forge behavior are not established. These limits are not covered by this assessment.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The reviewed whole-PR diff (merge base 0a3b561bc0 to head db9255bfac) changes two files. apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestReadCache.ts adds the detachStackFrame import, passes detachStackFrame as the second argument to the get and invalidate Effect.fn wrappers, and adds a comment on cache entries retaining their filling fiber. All three edits serve the retention fix in [#25172]. apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestReadCache.test.ts adds node:v8 and node:vm imports, enables --expose-gc, obtains gc, and adds the regression test. This test supports the same objective. The diff shows no unrelated server, client, contract, or dependency change. The PR summary lists only these two files, but the repository file list was truncated, so I did not independently confirm the absence of other changed files beyond the stated summary.

163	The V8 options available for a version of Node.js may be determined by running `node --v8-options`.

Expose gc before the test worker starts.

NodeV8.setFlagsFromString("--expose-gc") runs after V8 starts, and Node documents that such changes may do nothing. If gc remains unavailable, NodeVM.runInNewContext("gc") throws during module loading and the test cannot run. Configure --expose-gc at test-worker startup.
