perf(server): phone reconnects no longer stall on counting every turn item - #26816
Reopening the iOS app after five minutes away left the thread list on "Syncing" for over 7 s (#24192). One such reconnect, traced on 2026-10-29 against a server with 2,857 active threads, 645,834 turn items and a 27.5 GB statev2.sqlite:
GET /api/orchestration/shell took 7.3 s, 6.5 s of it inside ProjectionStore.readShellSnapshotRows.
4.8 s of that went to the per-thread item counts, which walk every entry of the turn items' (thread_id, run_id) index. The thread rows query took 1.7 s.
The same request took 1.6 s two minutes later (counts 0.5 s), so both reads are bound by the page cache.
The read held the server's only reader connection the whole time. Other reads queued behind it for up to 6.5 s: ProjectionStore.isNodeStored, VcsAutoPullPolicy.isEnabled, ScheduledTaskService.listDueTasks, UsageLimitRecoveryWorker.sweep.
Change
Stored item counts. Migration 074 adds orchestration_v2_projection_turn_item_counts, one row per (thread, run), with 7,802 rows (1.5 MB) on the server above. Triggers on turn items (AFTER INSERT, AFTER UPDATE OF thread_id, run_id, AFTER DELETE) keep it exact for every writer: the projector's upsert, projection rebuilds, and migrate-dev-db, which copies table rows before it creates triggers and prunes this table with the other thread_id tables. An upsert that hits an existing item fires only the update trigger, and that trigger does nothing unless the item changed thread or run. Shell item counts and fork sources' per-run counts now read this table.
The reader-pool half of this PR is gone: main's pool from #27097 already lets other reads run while a long one holds a reader. What's left fixes the slow read itself.
Verification
074_TurnItemCounts.test.ts: backfills existing items, then follows a new item, a repeated upsert (not counted twice), an item moving to a run, and deletes.
The existing ProjectionStore shell-count test passes unchanged against the new query. It covers a rolled-back run, runless items, and an item whose run has no row.
New nodeSqliteClient.test.ts case, "serves a read that starts with a read-only transaction before any reader is up": a held read-only transaction and a second read start together on a cold client. Main's pool already passes it. It is kept as coverage for the cold-start case, which main's existing tests don't exercise.
Real data: I built the counts table in a scratch database with my live statev2.sqlite attached read-only. The old count query took 214 ms warm and the new one 23 ms, and both returned identical rows when they read the same snapshot. The backfill took about 200 ms warm for 646k items.
After rebasing onto main fa4e4677c0: format, lint, knip, and typecheck for t3 and @t3tools/shared pass. The migration, preview-reconciliation, ProjectionStore, ShellStream and migrate-dev-db tests pass (74 tests), and so do 18 of 19 SQLite client tests. The one failure is the Windows-only case below.
On Windows, "uses the writer when the reader cannot open the database" also fails on main (EBUSY, because it deletes an open database file). It is unrelated to this change and should pass on CI's Linux runners.
Not checked: cold-cache timing on the phone after the change. The thread rows query (1.7 s cold) is unchanged.
The reader-pool tail-latency case from review (a queued read stays pinned to the slot it chose) also happens on main. It belongs in its own follow-up, not this PR.
Rebased onto main. The count queries keep #25696's json_each ID predicates, and #27106's index-first shell loading is untouched. The migration moved to 074 because main took 073 for ActiveTurnItemIndexes.
Done with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, running in T3 Code.
Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Reconnect snapshots use trigger-maintained counts, and SQLite read-only work gains a lazy reader pool. Source history is preserved; the reported reader-startup contention remains subject to the separate Medium-severity blocking gate.

Walkthrough
The change adds migration 074 to maintain turn-item counts by thread and run. Projection queries use those counts and exclude rolled-back runs from totals. Migration tests cover count updates, and a SQLite regression test covers concurrent read-only operations before a reader worker starts.

Summary
Create and maintain turn-item counts apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations/074_TurnItemCounts.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations/074_TurnItemCounts.test.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/reconcileV2PreviewMigration.test.ts
Migration 074 creates and backfills counts grouped by thread and normalized run ID. Triggers update counts when items are inserted, moved, or deleted. Migration tracking and tests include migration 074.
Read counts in projection queries apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.ts
Shell count queries now read stored counts. Totals include runless items and items from runs not marked rolled_back; runless counts are also returned separately.

Summary
Test concurrent read-only operations packages/shared/src/nodeSqliteClient.test.ts
Adds a regression test that runs a second read-only query while a read-only transaction is held and no reader worker has started.
The change reduces count-query work, with no actionable merge-blocking risk identified.

Reviewed 54f8d383eb3c. The stored-count queries showed a repeatable improvement in our tests, with no additional count-correctness or transaction-ownership bug confirmed. The branch needs rebasing before it can land.
Conflicts and integration
I rechecked against main fa4e4677c0ec: there are conflicts in ProjectionStore.ts, Migrations.ts, reconcileV2PreviewMigration.test.ts, nodeSqliteClient.ts, and nodeSqliteClient.test.ts.
Migration 073_TurnItemCounts collides with main’s 073_ActiveTurnItemIndexes. Allocate an unused migration ID and update the migration test/preview expectations while preserving the existing migration history.
Main already has the reader pool from #27097. Drop the duplicate production pool changes on rebase, keeping any additional cold-start test coverage that main lacks.
Preserve the json_each ID predicates from #25696 and the index-first/retained-scope shell loading from #27106. The older reconnect trace predates those changes.
Focused tests
All 34 existing focused tests passed on the PR snapshot: SQLite client, count migration, preview reconciliation, three shell/fork-count cases, and dev-database migration. The count queries returned identical rows in our synthetic comparisons, including runless and rolled-back-run handling.
P2: a remaining reader-pool tail-latency issue
Slot selection pins a caller to one reader before waiting on its semaphore. With all four readers occupied:
Queue a fifth read; it selects reader 0.
Release and join the transaction on reader 1.
A sixth read completes on reader 1, while the earlier fifth read remains pending.
The fifth read completes only after reader 0 releases.
We reproduced this with real workers and Deferred milestones, without sleeps or elapsed-time assertions. Sol independently reproduced the same sequence. The expected “queued work can use a newly available reader” assertion fails on both this PR and current-main source. This already exists in main, so it is worth tracking separately from the incremental count-table change.
SQL measurements
For a relevant main comparison, we used main 35c1210331a7’s queries and adapted the proposed count-table queries to retain its json_each predicates. Those affected production files are unchanged at the newer main checked above. This is a SQL-stage rebase experiment, not a tested rebased application.

Conditions: Node 26.13.0 / SQLite 3.54.1; synthetic file databases; WAL/NORMAL; 100 items per thread with runless items and three runs, one rolled back. Two independent processes, five warmups, then 30 samples per arm/process (60 per cell), alternating arm order. All returned rows matched. No live user database was used.
The triggers also add write work. In two runs with reversed arm order and automatic checkpoints disabled, batch totals were:
10,000 inserts: 95.5/96.5 → 126.2/134.0 ms, about 36% extra.
10,000 existing-item UPSERTs: 218.8/219.4 → 238.2/228.7 ms, about 7% extra.
Deleting 100,000 items by thread: 69.8/81.4 → 215.6/211.3 ms, about 2.8× the time.
These are standalone SQL batch costs, not projector latency or operation-level p95s. They exclude the server’s asynchronous checkpoint/backpressure behavior. We did not measure cold-disk, complete shell-response, or native phone reconnect latency.
The count-table part looks useful after the integration work; the pool scheduling gap is a separate follow-up for long tails.
Review assistance: GPT-6.1 Sol (xhigh, Codex in T3 Code) and Claude Opus 5.5 (xhigh, Claude Code in T3 Code).
Shell snapshots counted every turn item through the (thread_id, run_id)
index; on a 645k-item history that took 4.8 s once the index left the
page cache. Migration 073 keeps one count per (thread, run) with
triggers, and the shell count queries read it.
