The PR detail poll re-reads through the server hold, so external title and check changes stay invisible until the hold expires.

Invalidate only the detail reference before each polled re-read, preserving cached diff pages even while metadata refresh is pending or fails. When the PR revision changes, await full invalidation before refreshing activity and diff data. Regressions cover held metadata, immediate and failed-refresh diff reads, both cached pages, and full invalidation; polling cadence is unchanged.

Ports #9491 with the requested regression coverage.

Built with muse-spark-1.3-contributor via OpenCode in T3 Code.

Synced with current main while preserving host-scoped cache keys, persistent-cache invalidation and stack refresh. Mounted React regressions exercise the production refresh lifecycle: polling and changed revisions wait for invalidation, failed polls do not reread held metadata, and superseded/unmounted refreshes do not publish activity updates. All 231 focused tests and web/server/contracts typechecks passed; targeted format/lint and secrets checks passed. Browser rendering was not exercised.

Manual refresh failure now shows the same error as revision refresh and leaves detail/diff refresh state unchanged. The mounted button regression checks failed invalidation, loading-state reset, and successful retry. After this follow-up, 109 focused web tests, web typecheck, formatting and lint passed; the initial integrated check also passed 231 web/server tests. The final mounted refresh suite has nine cases.


Note

Medium Risk
Touches PR caching and invalidation semantics on the server and poll path in the UI; wrong scoping could cause stale UI or extra host requests, but behavior is covered by new tests.

Overview
PR panel polls were re-reading detail through the server’s stale-while-revalidate hold, so title and check updates from the host never showed until the hold expired.

The panel now invalidates with scope: "detail" before each live refresh, so the next detail read misses the hold and fetches fresh metadata. Manual refresh still invalidates detail and diff (unchanged behavior).

On the server, detail and diff use separate cache epochs: invalidate({ scope: "detail" }) only strands the detail/summary path; diff keeps its SWR hold so the Code tab is not forced to refetch on every poll. Contracts add optional scope: "detail"|"all"``.

Regression tests cover invalidated vs plain re-read under an in-flight background refresh, and detail-scoped invalidate without stranding a held diff.

Note

Route PR panel live polls through detail-scoped server invalidation

  • Extends PullRequestInvalidateInput with an optional scope of detail or all in pullRequest.ts
  • Splits the single reference epoch into separate detail and diff epochs in PullRequestService.ts; detail-scoped invalidation bumps only the detail epoch so diff reads keep their existing cache key and stale-while-revalidate hold
  • Changes the live-refresh callback in PullRequestDetailPanel.tsx to send detail-scoped invalidation then refresh the detail query, instead of incrementing the token that refreshes activity and diff; the explicit refresh button still does full invalidation
  • Adds effect tests in PullRequestService.test.ts covering the detail invalidation race and detail-scoped diff retention
  • Behavioral Change: listing invalidation is unchanged, but any reference invalidation call that previously relied on the implicit single epoch now needs to pass scope: "all" (or omit the field) to invalidate both detail and diff; detail-only invalidation intentionally leaves diff stale

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Pull request details and activity now refresh more reliably when revisions change.
    • The Code tab reloads diff content when needed, preventing stale results.
    • Failed refreshes preserve available information and show an error notification.
    • Stale details or diffs are no longer restored after invalidation or cache cleanup.
  • Improvements

    • Background updates preserve previously loaded diff content.
    • Refresh behavior is more consistent when switching pull requests or retrying after failures.
    • Refreshes can target details only or both details and diffs.
    • Manual and forced refreshes now handle overlapping requests more reliably.

The panel's automatic refresh (five-minute interval and return-to-window read) now invalidates the pull request on the server before re-reading its detail, the same way the manual Refresh action already does. An ordinary detail read is answered from the server's hold while it refreshes behind the answer, so each poll showed the previous poll's data and a passively watched panel never caught an external title or check change. The invalidation is scoped to that one pull request (bumpRefEpoch).

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This change alters pull-request polling, server cache epochs, host-request behavior, and asynchronous activity/diff refresh sequencing across both web and server layers. The broad regression coverage reduces risk but does not make these cross-layer runtime semantics a small, self-contained change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Pull-request detail and diff caches now use separate epochs and revision tracking. Invalidation supports detail-only or full scope. A new hook coordinates panel invalidation and refresh sequencing. Tests cover cache retention, epoch eviction, revision changes, failures, and panel lifecycle states.

3513-3514: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Cover a changed summary revision, and align the test name with the assertions.

revision changes only the patch text here. hostedChangeRequest keeps updatedAt fixed, so the revision slot in the diff cache key (PullRequestService.ts line 2423) never changes in this test. The reload at Line 3532 comes from the full invalidation bumping the diff epoch.

The new behavior this PR adds — a changed updatedAt producing a new diff key so held pages reload after a detail-scoped invalidation alone — has no assertion. Add a host updatedAt that moves, so a regression in the revision slot fails a test. The current title also claims a changed revision drives the reload, which the assertions do not show.

♻️ Sketch of the added coverage
+    let hostUpdatedAt = "2026-07-02T00:00:00Z";
     const service = yield* makeService({
       projects: [project({ id: "p1", title: "web", workspaceRoot: "/a", repository: "acme/web" })],
       providers: [
         fakeProvider("github", {
           getChangeRequest: () =>
             failDetail
               ? Effect.fail(/* ... */)
-              : Effect.succeed(hostedChangeRequest("body", 4)),
+              : Effect.succeed({ ...hostedChangeRequest("body", 4), updatedAt: hostUpdatedAt }),

Then, after the held-page assertions, move the revision and re-read:

+    hostUpdatedAt = "2026-07-03T00:00:00Z";
+    yield* service.invalidate({ reference, scope: "detail" });
+    yield* service.detail(reference);
+    assert.strictEqual((yield* service.diff(reference)).patch, "new:first");

Addressed the cache-revision coverage suggestion in 15c4cb0. The new regression keeps cached diff pages when updatedAt is unchanged, then advances updatedAt and verifies both pages reload after detail-only invalidation, without a full diff-epoch bump. Removing the revision slot from the cache key makes the regression fail. Renamed the existing full-invalidation test to match its assertions. All 108 service tests and server typecheck pass.

2170-2172: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make epoch-map eviction recency-ordered now that reads reserve slots.

mapEpoch reserves and stores an epoch on a miss, so every read path consumes a slot: detail, activity, diff (through lastGoodSummary.peek(refCacheKey(input))), statsCacheKey(refCacheKey(ref)) at Line 2465, and statsBatchKey at Line 2451. One listing read can insert up to DEFAULT_REPOSITORY_LIST_LIMIT scopes into refEpochs.

bumpMapEpoch evicts epochs.keys().next().value, which is the first-inserted scope, and a map hit does not reinsert the scope. The scope a reader is viewing can therefore be evicted by later listing reads. Its next read mints a higher epoch and strands detailCache, activityCache, recentStats, and the lastGoodDetail/lastGoodSummary holds for that scope, so a failing host loses the last-good fallback instead of serving it.

Reinsert the scope on a hit. The epoch value stays the same, so no key changes.

♻️ Proposed fix to keep the epoch maps recency-ordered
-  // Reads reserve an epoch too: returning a default after eviction would revive held keys.
-  const mapEpoch = (epochs: Map<string, number>, ref: PullRequestRef) =>
-    Math.max(turnRefreshEpoch, epochs.get(refScope(ref)) ?? bumpMapEpoch(epochs, ref));
+  // Reads reserve an epoch too: returning a default after eviction would revive held keys.
+  const mapEpoch = (epochs: Map<string, number>, ref: PullRequestRef) => {
+    const scope = refScope(ref);
+    const held = epochs.get(scope);
+    if (held === undefined) return Math.max(turnRefreshEpoch, bumpMapEpoch(epochs, ref));
+    // Reinsert so eviction drops the least recently used scope rather than the oldest one:
+    // a scope being read must outlive idle scopes a listing read inserted after it.
+    epochs.delete(scope);
+    epochs.set(scope, held);
+    return Math.max(turnRefreshEpoch, held);
+  };

Addressed epoch-map recency in 63478c9. Reads reinsert the existing epoch without changing its value, and explicit invalidation bumps refresh recency as well. A regression fills the bounded maps, rereads the active scope, adds capacity pressure, and verifies held detail/diff data remains available during host failure; it failed before this fix. Cold-eviction protections still pass. All 111 service tests and server typecheck pass.
