fix(server): preserve recent PR reads across server restarts

[juliusmarminge]

Backend hot reloads and server updates discarded fresh PR summaries and stack reads, making the restarted server fetch them again from GitHub.

Use Effect PersistedCache with a filesystem KeyValueStore under the environment caches/pull-requests directory in dev and production. The memory and disk caches share the original one-minute expiry. Failed reads are not persisted, and cache storage failures fall back to provider reads without repeating an already completed lookup. A missing cache directory falls back to memory.

Explicit refreshes, turns, and mutations clear persisted reads. Invalidation waits for active readers so an earlier request cannot restore invalidated data. Currently invalidation clears the dedicated PR cache as a whole. There is no database migration.

Validation: 116 focused PR service/cache tests passed, including filesystem reuse across service recreation, original expiry, in-flight invalidation, long keys, and failed reads. Scoped server typecheck and targeted lint passed. Fresh independent review found no blockers.

Implemented with GPT-6 in Codex.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added persistent caching for pull-request summaries and stack details.
  • Reuses in-flight reads to reduce duplicate requests.
  • Cache entries expire automatically and recover gracefully from invalid or unavailable cached data.
  • Cache invalidation now keeps pull-request information up to date after changes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a persistent pull-request read cache with expiry, bounded concurrency, invalidation, and fallback behavior. Pull-request summary and stack reads use the cache, which is wired into the server and covered by integration tests.

Changes

Pull Request Read Cache

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cache service and persistence apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestReadCache.ts	Adds SHA-256 cache keys, 60-second expiry, bounded concurrent reads, persistent storage, memory fallback, and invalidation handling.
Pull-request read integration and invalidation apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestService.ts	Routes summary and stack reads through persistent caching and clears cached reads during reference refreshes, mutations, and run actions.
Service wiring and cache validation apps/server/src/server.ts, apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestReadCache.test.ts, apps/server/src/pullRequest/PullRequestService.test.ts	Provides the cache layer to PullRequestService and tests persistence, restart behavior, expiry, invalidation, and failed reads.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 869d0

Persistent caching can return stale pull-request summaries and stacks after a full refresh, while hung provider reads may resist cancellation. These behaviors should be corrected or explicitly accepted before merge.

Consider also asserting on the original cache instance.

The test checks a restarted service, which proves the persisted file was removed. It does not prove the in-memory cache of the original cache instance was cleared. invalidate calls Cache.invalidateAll(cache.inMemory) before backing.clear, so an assertion on cache would cover both halves of invalidate.

       yield* Fiber.join(invalidate);

Add coverage for the storage-failure fallback paths.

The suite covers persistence, restart reuse, expiry, invalidation, and failed reads. It does not cover two behaviors the change relies on:

• get catches PersistenceError and SchemaError and falls back to the provider read.
• invalidate sets enabled = false when clearing fails, after which get bypasses the cache.

A KeyValueStore stub that fails set, get, or clear would exercise both. These are the paths that run when the filesystem degrades, so they are the ones least likely to be caught in normal use.

Effect PersistedCache get uninterruptible lookup interruption semantics

💡 Result:

In the Effect library, PersistedCache relies on an internal Cache mechanism to manage its lookups [1][2]. The interruption semantics of PersistedCache lookups are primarily dictated by the underlying behavior of this Cache [1][2]. As of recent updates, there is a known issue (tracked as issue #7608) where the underlying Cache may inadvertently retain and cache the result of a synchronously interrupted lookup [3]. When a lookup is interrupted synchronously before completion, the Cache may treat that interruption as a final result and store it, causing subsequent lookups for the same key to return the interrupted state rather than re-executing the lookup [3]. Because PersistedCache specifically uses the Cache to store the Exit value of the provided lookup function (which includes potential interruptions) [1][2], any such interrupted Exit result can be propagated to the persistent backing store as well. If you require uninterruptible behavior for your lookup, you should manually wrap the lookup effect in Effect.uninterruptible to ensure that the process completes its execution regardless of fiber interruption signals [3]. Relying on the default caching behavior currently poses a risk of "poisoning" the cache with interrupted results, which will persist until the key is explicitly invalidated [1][3].

Effect 4.0.0-rc.112 Effect.uninterruptible documentation interruption semantics

💡 Result:

In the Effect ecosystem, Effect.uninterruptible is a combinator used to mark an effect (and everything within its scope) as uninterruptible [1][2][3]. When applied, the operation will ignore interruption signals, including those triggered by mechanisms like Effect.timeout or explicit fiber cancellation, until the operation completes [1][4]. Key interruption semantics include: Cooperative Interruption: Interruption in Effect is cooperative, not preemptive [3]. Fibers check for interruption at specific yield points [3]. When an effect is marked as uninterruptible, these checks are suppressed or ignored, forcing the fiber to run to completion regardless of external termination requests [1]. Suppression of Timeouts: Since Effect.timeout relies on interruption to stop tasks that exceed a duration threshold, an uninterruptible effect will override this behavior [1]. If a task is marked uninterruptible, the timeout mechanism will wait for the effect to finish completely before raising a TimeoutException [1]. Nested Interruptibility: You can create "interruptible gaps" within an uninterruptible region by using the Effect.interruptible combinator [3][5]. Conversely, if you need to perform an operation uninterruptibly while keeping the ability to restore interruptibility, developers often use Effect.uninterruptibleMask, which provides a restore function [2][6]. Best Practices: - Use Effect.uninterruptible sparingly, as it can lead to hung fibers or system inconsistencies if not managed correctly [2]. - When working with sensitive operations (like those inside a timeout or race), ensure you are aware of whether the operation inherits uninterruptibility [7][4]. - Use Effect.disconnect if you need an uninterruptible effect to complete in the background while allowing the main control flow to proceed after a timeout [1]. While these concepts are stable across recent versions, always ensure your implementation is tested for proper cleanup, as marking an effect uninterruptible prevents standard onInterrupt hooks from firing until the region concludes [3].

site:github.com/Effect-TS/effect PersistedCache.ts 4.0.0-rc.112 uninterruptible interrupted lookup

💡 Result:

In the Effect library, particularly around version 4.0.0-rc.112, PersistedCache utilizes the Cache module to handle lookups [1][2][3]. A known issue exists where the Cache module (which powers the lookup mechanism in PersistedCache) could retain synchronously interrupted lookups [3]. When a lookup is interrupted, the system might erroneously cache the "interrupted" state instead of retrying the operation, causing subsequent requests for the same key to also be interrupted without re-running the lookup [3]. This behavior can also lead to the eviction of valid, unrelated entries from the cache [3]. The resolution for this behavior involves ensuring that interrupted lookups are not incorrectly cached, an issue addressed by PR #7614, titled "fix(Cache): avoid caching synchronous interruptions" [3]. Users experiencing this issue are encouraged to ensure they are on a version of Effect that includes this fix or to ensure that lookups do not interrupt synchronously before completion [3].

Effect PR 7614 fix Cache avoid caching synchronous interruptions release version 4.0.0-rc.112

💡 Result:

Pull Request #7614, titled fix(Cache): avoid caching synchronous interruptions, addresses a bug in the Effect library where synchronously interrupted Cache.get lookups were incorrectly cached [1][2]. The issue occurred because a synchronously interrupted lookup could complete before its entry was published to the cache [1]. Consequently, the cleanup process would fail to find an entry to remove, causing future reads of that key to replay the cached interruption instead of re-running the lookup [1]. This could also lead to valid, unrelated values being evicted from a full cache [2]. The fix involves checking the lookup fiber after observer registration and skipping publication if the fiber has already completed with an interruption [1]. This ensures that the cache does not store interrupted results, allowing subsequent attempts to correctly retry the lookup [1]. While this fix is associated with the issue "Cache.get retains synchronously interrupted lookups" (#7608) [2], it was merged into the main branch on September 2, 2026 [1]. Effect release 4.0.0-rc.112 was published on August 25, 2026 [3]. As the fix was merged on September 2, it is not included in 4.0.0-rc.112 [1][3].

Upgrade the Effect dependency before narrowing Effect.uninterruptible

Effect.uninterruptible protects PersistedCache.get and its provider lookup from the interrupted-lookup cache bug in effect@4.0.0-rc.112. Removing it now can replay interrupted lookups. However, the same scope prevents outer timeouts from stopping a hung CLI read. Upgrade to a release containing the cache fix, then add an interruptible timeout around provider reads while preserving safe cache publication.

requireProject now runs on every cached read, and twice on a miss.

persistedRead resolves the project to build the cache key. summaryUncached and stackUncached also call requireProject on the same input. Two consequences follow:

• A cache hit pays one full requireProject. That call goes through listWorkspaceProjects, which reads the projection shell snapshot and can run refineUnknownProjectKinds with provider handle resolution at REPOSITORY_CONCURRENCY. Before this change the hit path used refCacheKey, which needs no project resolution.
• A cache miss pays requireProject twice.

Consider resolving the project once in persistedRead and passing the resolved SupportedProject to the read builder, so the uncached read does not repeat the resolution.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

The reference-scoped invalidation clears the persistent cache, but the workspace-wide branch does not.

Line 2673 calls readCache.invalidate when input.reference is defined. The else branch that follows handles invalidate({}), which is the broader workspace-wide invalidation. That branch bumps listingsEpoch and clears viewersByHost, but it does not call readCache.invalidate.

The result is inverted scope: a caller that invalidates one reference drops every persisted summary and stack, while a caller that invalidates everything leaves all of them in place for up to the 60-second expiry. A client that requests a full refresh therefore continues to receive cached summary and stack data.

🐛 Proposed fix

     return Effect.sync(() => {
       listingsEpoch = ++epochCounter;
       viewersByHost.clear();
-    }).pipe(Effect.andThen(Cache.invalidateAll(viewerFlights)));
+    }).pipe(
+      Effect.andThen(Cache.invalidateAll(viewerFlights)),
+      Effect.andThen(readCache.invalidate),
