saveShardedIndex wrote each new generation's shards, published a manifest naming it, then deleted the previous generation only when its manifest read had succeeded. That read is the first thing the function does, and it fails under exactly the load that makes saves slow, so `previous` became null and the whole preceding generation was stranded. Nothing revisits it: a later save only inspects its own predecessor, and loadShardedData reads only the shards the current manifest lists. Two further paths reached the same state. The manifest catch block ends in a throw, so a write that threw after committing skipped the cleanup below it. And a kill between the first shard write and the cleanup left a generation nothing had recorded. Verified on a deployed store: 8 dead BM25 generations, 339 MB, 33.5% of a 1013 MB store, the oldest 13 days old, against 35 MB of actual observations. Every orphan's generation id decodes to a restart or an incident. Record each generation in a ledger beside its manifest, written before the first shard write, and reclaim from it after publish and again on load. StateKV lists keys within a scope and never scopes by prefix, so a generation that is not recorded cannot be found again by anything. Serialise saves. scheduleSave fires save() unawaited from a timer while flushIndexSave awaits save() on every delete path, and stop() clears the timer without awaiting a save already running, so saves overlap by construction. Two of them read-modify-writing one ledger drop each other's entries, and the one that publishes second reclaims the shards the first is still writing, leaving it to publish a manifest naming data that is already gone. The queue never coalesces: flushIndexSave awaits save() to make a delete durable, so returning an in-flight promise that started before the delete would report success for a snapshot without it. The load-time reclaim joins the same queue. An unreadable ledger skips that cycle's tracking and reclaim rather than failing the save. state::get timing out is the condition this bug appears under, and aborting there would stop persisting the index entirely, which costs a full-corpus rebuild. A ledger whose shape is not recognised is left untouched, never rewritten. Reclaim keeps malformed entries instead of iterating them, so a GC step can never fail a load, and emits one audit row per sweep rather than one per shard, per the policy in src/functions/audit.ts. Each index saves independently, since one try around both would let a BM25 failure stop the vector index persisting, and a lost vector index is never rebuilt: both rebuild triggers key on the BM25 size. A failed delete keeps its shards listed and retries, rather than stranding them. The ledger cannot discover generations orphaned before it existed; those need a one-time reclaim. Closes rohitg00#1115
… the line Serialising every save fixed the ledger races, and introduced a worse problem than the one it solved. flushIndexSave awaits save() on five delete paths (governance.ts:33,139, remember.ts:321, retention.ts:392, auto-forget.ts:194), so once saves are queued rather than overlapping, a delete waits for every save ahead of it. That is fine when a save takes a second. When saves are timing out at 180s it turns a delete into an unbounded wait and the request dies. Measured on the deployed instance: no index save completed in a 29 minute window, and 5xx rates rose sharply from the commit that added the queue. The original reasoning against coalescing was right about one case and too broad about the other. A save that is ALREADY RUNNING must never be handed back: its snapshot predates the caller's mutation, so reporting success would tell a delete it was durable when it was not. But a save that is queued and has not started yet has not taken its snapshot, so it will serialise whatever the caller just changed. Those callers can share it. Track the queued-but-not-started save and hand it to arriving callers, clearing it the moment it begins to run so the next caller queues its own. Six concurrent delete flushes now cost at most two saves instead of six, with the durability guarantee unchanged.
Review flagged the comments added with the coalescing fix as explaining what the code does, which AGENTS.md rules out under Coding Standards for src. `pendingSave` needed three comment blocks because the name did not say which saves qualify. `unstartedSave` does: only a save that has not begun running may be handed to a new caller, since a save already in flight took its snapshot before that caller's mutation and reporting success for it would tell a delete it was durable when it was not. Rename plus comment removal, no behaviour change. Also removes an authoring marker that should not have shipped upstream. What it recorded is a genuine limitation and moves to the PR body: the gc ledger's `generations` array grows unbounded while every shard delete keeps failing, because each debounce appends a generation carrying its full shard list and `reclaimGenerations` only rewrites the ledger when something was actually reclaimed. Reaching that state takes a total delete outage, and capping the length is more than a one-line change, so it is disclosed rather than fixed here.
runSave gates the vector save on `this.vector`, and src/index.ts builds a vector index only when an embedding provider exists. On a boot without one, saveVectorIndex never runs, so the vector ledger is never read and its superseded generations are never reclaimed. The bm25 save is unconditional and keeps cycling beside it, which is why the leak is one-sided. Nothing else revisits those shards. Reclaim lives inside the save this branch skips, and StateKV.list takes an exact scope rather than a prefix, so a generation that is in no ledger entry cannot be enumerated back. A production store carried 9 orphaned vector shards, 17 MB, created minutes after a redeploy that came up without a usable provider. Its vectors ledger listed only the live generation. Reclaim now runs on its own when there is no vector index to save. It reads the manifest solely to learn which generation is live; a missing or nameless manifest reclaims nothing, which is the fail-safe direction. The test drives a failed-delete brownout, then a boot with no vector index, and asserts the superseded generation is gone. It fails against the unmodified file, and returning early from the new path fails it again.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe persistence layer now serializes saves, tracks shard generations in per-manifest GC ledgers, and reclaims superseded generations during saves and loads.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change enables vector-generation cleanup when no embedding provider is available, reducing persistent disk and memory usage. Merge readiness is low risk but requires owner awareness that correlated ledger and manifest-storage failures can still strand generations, and that the save-coalescing test should be tightened to cover the queued-save case.

Assert the exact save count, and yield before the queued-save case.
The five extra save() calls run in the same synchronous block as first, so unstartedSave is still the first save and all five receive that promise. Exactly one runSave executes and manifestWrites is 1. toBeLessThanOrEqual(2) therefore also passes when coalescing regresses to two saves, which is the boundary this test states it protects. The "one running save plus one queued" path is never reached, because no microtask yield lets the first save start.
💚 Proposed assertion and added scenario
const first = persistence.save();
// Five more delete-path flushes arrive while the first is still running.
const rest = Array.from({ length: 5 }, () => persistence.save());
releaseFirst();
await Promise.all([first, ...rest]);
- // One running save plus at most one queued behind it covers all six
- // callers. Six serialised saves would be the regression.
- expect(manifestWrites).toBeLessThanOrEqual(2);
+ // All six callers coalesce into the save that has not started.
+ expect(manifestWrites).toBe(1);Add a second case that lets the first save start, so the queued-save path is covered:
it("queues at most one save behind a save that has already started", async () => {
// same slowKv/persistence setup
const first = persistence.save();
await Promise.resolve();
const rest = Array.from({ length: 5 }, () => persistence.save());
releaseFirst();
await Promise.all([first, ...rest]);
expect(manifestWrites).toBe(2);

Closing unmerged. The change is redundant:
Probed directly on the committed source, with the same setup this PR's test uses and calling only The commit's own comment says "nothing else will ever revisit them". The same file contradicts it. That claim was wrong when I wrote it. I could not build a test that isolates the change. Four attempts: asserting on a still-live generation, re-adding a shard the ledger had already dropped, a failed-delete brownout, and a boot-time manifest read failure. Each passed against the unmodified file once the real boot sequence was included. The residual gap is real but narrow. Load-path reclaim runs once, and only when the manifest read succeeds and the shards load. A brownout wide enough to defeat it usually defeats the retry too, since both read the same manifest through the same connection. And the generation stays in the ledger either way, so the next boot collects it. That is a deferral, not a loss, which this file already treats as acceptable elsewhere. Cost against that: two extra The production orphan that started this is still unexplained. 9 vector shards, 17 MB, survived at least one restart. If load-path reclaim works, a boot should have collected it. Next step is reading the live ledger to see whether it holds any entry before the live one — if it holds only the live entry, Branch kept at |

runSavegates the vector save onthis.vector, andsrc/index.tsbuilds a vector index only when an embedding provider exists:So a boot without a provider never calls
saveVectorIndex. Reclaim lives inside that save, so the vector ledger is never read and its superseded generations are never collected. The BM25 save is unconditional and keeps cycling beside it, which is why the leak is one-sided.Those shards are then unreachable.
StateKV.listtakes an exact scope rather than a prefix, so a generation that sits in no ledger entry cannot be enumerated back.What this looks like in a real deployment
A self-hosted store held four index generations. Two were live, two were not:
idx_mtfi222tis the one this PR addresses. All 9 files are vector shards, written minutes after a redeploy that came up without a usable embedding provider. The vectors ledger listed only the live generation:The store had grown to 1,324 MB. Shards are loaded eagerly at boot, so the disk cost is also a resident cost.
The change
Reclaim runs on its own when there is no vector index to save. It reads the vector manifest only to learn which generation is live, then hands off to the existing
reclaimGenerations. A manifest that is missing, unreadable, or nameless reclaims nothing.No new deletion logic. The classification of what is superseded is unchanged.
Tests
One case: publish a vector generation, publish over it with deletes failing so the old one survives in the ledger as superseded, then save again with a null vector index.
It fails against the unmodified file. Returning early from the new path fails it again.
What this does not do
