Fixes #6230

Bug

Sending a message in a chat pane for a "local" entry (the type: "main" workspace, i.e. the repo checkout itself) fails with a database error, in every repo. Worktree workspaces work — only "local" entries fail.

Root cause

chat.createSession (packages/trpc/src/router/chat/chat.ts) inserted chat_sessions.v2_workspace_id directly from the client-supplied input.v2WorkspaceId. That column has an FK to cloud v2_workspaces (chat_sessions_v2_workspace_id_v2_workspaces_id_fk).

Since local-first (#5731), workspaces are host-owned: the main workspace is minted locally with a fresh UUID on every boot (runMainWorkspaceSweep → ensureMainWorkspace) and is never mirrored to the cloud v2_workspaces table. The FK can therefore never be satisfied for those ids, and the insert throws on every message — surfacing the raw query in the chat pane.

The legacy REST bootstrap (apps/api/src/app/api/chat/[sessionId]/route.ts) already carries a defensive retry-without-workspaceId fallback for this exact failure class; the tRPC path had none.

Fix

Extract the session insert into create-chat-session.ts and retry without v2WorkspaceId when the insert fails with a foreign-key error — mirroring the REST route's shouldRetryWithoutWorkspaceId behavior. The retry runs in a fresh transaction because a failed INSERT aborts the surrounding Postgres transaction (current transaction is aborted), so re-inserting inside the same one would fail regardless.

The resulting row keeps v2WorkspaceId NULL for local-first workspaces — the same degraded-but-functional state the REST path produces.

Tests

Added packages/trpc/src/router/chat/utils/create-chat-session.test.ts (6 cases):

  • insert with v2WorkspaceId succeeds and returns the txid
  • FK violation → retries without v2WorkspaceId
  • generic foreign-key error → retries
  • non-FK errors are propagated
  • onConflictDoNothing conflict → { txid: null }
  • FK violation logs exactly once

bun test: 6 pass, 0 fail. Package typecheck: clean. Biome check: clean.

Note: #5853 (bot draft, #5852) targets the same FK with an up-front existence check; this PR takes the retry approach already established in the REST route.


Summary by cubic

Retries chat session insert without v2WorkspaceId only when the v2_workspace_id FK rejects it, so messages from the local “main” workspace send. Previously packages/trpc wrote the client’s v2WorkspaceId and surfaced FK errors; now it retries in a fresh transaction and stores a null v2WorkspaceId for local sessions, matching the REST route.

  • Extracts createChatSession in packages/trpc/src/router/chat/utils/create-chat-session.ts and uses it from packages/trpc/src/router/chat/chat.ts.
  • Retries only when the error matches chat_sessions_v2_workspace_id_v2_workspaces_id_fk or a v2_workspace_id FK violation; does not retry on unrelated FK or column errors.
  • Uses a new transaction for the retry; on conflict, returns { txid: null }.
  • Hardens error handling: safe message parsing avoids calling toLowerCase on undefined; retry log emits a fixed reason without raw ids or the DB error.
  • Tests cover success, targeted FK retry, no-retry cases, fresh-transaction fallback, conflict handling, and a single sanitized warning.

Written for commit 668c988. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The chat router now delegates session creation to createChatSession. The utility performs transactional insertion, handles conflicts and transaction IDs, and retries recognized legacy workspace failures without v2WorkspaceId. Tests cover success, retries, errors, conflicts, and warning behavior.

Changes

Chat session creation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Session utility and fallback
packages/trpc/src/router/chat/utils/create-chat-session.ts
Adds typed session input and result contracts. Inserts sessions transactionally, handles conflicts, returns transaction IDs, and retries recognized v2_workspace_id foreign-key failures without v2WorkspaceId.
Router integration
packages/trpc/src/router/chat/chat.ts
Replaces the inline transaction with createChatSession and preserves the existing response mapping.
Utility behavior tests
packages/trpc/src/router/chat/utils/create-chat-session.test.ts
Tests successful insertion, fallback retries, conflict handling, unrelated error propagation, transaction isolation, and retry warnings.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Mergeability Score: ⚪ Minimal · up to 06f99

The PR adds a targeted retry for local chat session creation and is merge-ready after normal checks and review; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Greptile Summary

The PR restores chat creation for local-first main workspaces whose host-generated IDs cannot satisfy the cloud workspace foreign key.

  • Extracts chat-session insertion into a reusable helper.
  • Retries foreign-key failures without v2WorkspaceId in a fresh transaction.
  • Adds coverage for successful inserts, fallback behavior, conflicts, logging, and error propagation.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge with no actionable correctness or security defects identified.

The failed insert is rolled back before the fallback begins in a fresh pooled transaction, and the resulting nullable workspace association matches the repository's established chat-session fallback behavior.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
packages/trpc/src/router/chat/chat.ts Delegates session persistence to the new helper while preserving the procedure response contract.
packages/trpc/src/router/chat/utils/create-chat-session.ts Implements the established fallback in a fresh transaction and preserves non-retryable error propagation.
packages/trpc/src/router/chat/utils/create-chat-session.test.ts Covers successful insertion, both retry classifications, propagation, conflict handling, and warning behavior.

Thanks for the reviews — all actionable feedback is addressed in cca05c1:

  • Narrowed the retry trigger (cubic): shouldRetryWithoutV2WorkspaceId now matches only the specific chat_sessions_v2_workspace_id_v2_workspaces_id_fk constraint, or a message containing both v2_workspace_id and foreign key constraint. The generic "column" / "does not exist" / "foreign key" substrings are gone, so unrelated errors propagate instead of silently retrying.
  • Test now asserts what the retry sends (coderabbit): the mock records every inserted values object — the first insert must equal BASE_VALUES, the retry must omit v2WorkspaceId.
  • Fresh-transaction fallback exercised (coderabbit + cubic): each transaction() call now yields a NEW transaction mock; a failed insert aborts its own tx, and the tests assert two transaction calls on retry ([0, 1]).
  • New negative cases: unrelated FK constraints and column "v2_workspace_id" does not exist errors are asserted to propagate without retry.

bun test: 8/8 pass · tsc --noEmit: 0 errors · Biome: clean.

- errorMessage now falls back to String(error) when JSON.stringify returns

- The retry console.warn logs a fixed reason only, not raw

Both findings addressed in 06f99e698:

  1. Functional Correctness (Minor) — non-serializable rejection values. errorMessage now falls back with return JSON.stringify(error) ?? String(error); so a non-serializable value (undefined, a function) yields a string instead of undefined, and shouldRetryWithoutV2WorkspaceId can no longer call .toLowerCase() on undefined.

  2. Security & Privacy (Major) — raw ids / raw DB error in the retry log. The console.warn now logs a fixed reason only ("[chat] retrying chat session insert without v2WorkspaceId (foreign-key constraint)") — no raw sessionId/organizationId/v2WorkspaceId and no raw DB error text, so no user/workspace correlation data leaks into logs.

The updated test now asserts the log stays free of sessionId and organizationId (alongside the retry-count assertion).

Validation: bun test create-chat-session.test.ts -> 8 pass / 0 fail. Biome clean.

…ack in tests

- match only the v2_workspace_id FK constraint (or a v2_workspace_id FK
  violation) instead of generic 'foreign key'/'column'/'does not exist'
  substrings that could silently retry unrelated errors
- tests now record inserted values and assert the retry runs in a NEW
  transaction (the first is aborted by Postgres), plus no-retry cases for
  unrelated FK constraints and column errors
- errorMessage now falls back to String(error) when JSON.stringify returns
  undefined (non-serializable values), so shouldRetryWithoutV2WorkspaceId
  never calls .toLowerCase() on undefined.
- The retry console.warn logs a fixed reason only, not raw
  session/organization/v2Workspace ids or the raw DB error, avoiding
  user/workspace correlation data in logs.
