fix(scrobbling): spend the joker on the entry, not on its descendant - #199
Conversation
Whether an ambiguous listen has already been retried was read as a join: the entry stayed answerable for as long as no other row named it through `retry_of`. That holds only while rows are immortal, and RFC-010's retention makes them mortal — a retry ends `sent`, so it is the first thing a purge takes, and the original then turns answerable again. Measured rather than feared: with the retry row gone the entry reappears in `uncertain_scrobbles`, `retry_uncertain_scrobble` accepts it a second time, `discard_uncertain_scrobble` accepts it too, and the link's `uncertain` counter puts it back to `degraded` for a listen answered weeks ago — decision 12's visible fault turned into a permanent false alarm. So the fact moves onto the row: `retried_at`, null until it is not. The retry writes it in a conditional UPDATE that precedes the insert and *is* the arbitration, so two simultaneous calls cannot both find the entry unanswered; `retry_of` and its unique index stay as provenance and as a second rampart. `updated_at` is deliberately left alone — it is what the listing publishes as the moment the listen became ambiguous, and answering it did not make it ambiguous again. The RFC named three readers; there are four. `discard_uncertain_scrobble` has carried the same exclusion since #193. Each of the four is proved apart, by an inversion that puts only that one back on the join and takes down its own assertion — lines 706, 716, 730 and 741 of the test. And the column is filled on databases already in service. Retried entries exist since #191, so adding it empty would hand every one of those originals a second joker: on the only servers with anything to reintroduce it to, the migration would reintroduce exactly the defect it exists to correct. It reads `retry_of` one last time and takes the retry row's `created_at`, which is when the joker was spent. Proved on a database populated at the schema version before the column, not on a rereading of the SQL.

Decision 13's revision counted the places asking "has this entry already spent its joker" from a rereading of the decision rather than from the file. `discard_uncertain_scrobble` carries the same exclusion since #193 and was not among them. The file is the one that is right. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01HreLtK4rFopmncpZEHzp59 Signed-off-by: InstaZDLL <github.105mh@8shield.net>
…e floor The conditional UPDATE now carries `RETURNING id`, so the rowid comes back from the write that took it rather than from a second lookup by `public_id`. The lookup named the same row, and was a separate claim about which row that is. It also retires the reason given for avoiding `RETURNING` in the first place. A comment in this file held that `COUNT(*) FILTER` wanted a SQLite newer than the crate builds against, so anything newer still was out of reach. Measured: the library is bundled at 3.51, and the schema has required 3.37 since the first `STRICT` table — the note was never true, and the count query keeps its shape for the reason that is.

The note explaining why this route declares no `409` described the `NOT EXISTS` clause that carried the refusal until this branch. The refusal is the same and reads `retried_at`.

The record of the session that shipped #199 and #200: the correction to decision 13 that went first and alone, the three places named instances had to move together, what the Last.fm journey settles, and the decision a review reversed — an adapter may read a body to reach a verdict, because decision 12 governs what reaches a member and not what an adapter reads. Five traps, each of which cost something here: an inversion whose anchor spanned two lines and silently did nothing, a refusal reached by an earlier layer than the one under test, `all` over an empty collection, splitting a URL on its first `=`, and `endpoint` dropping the trailing slash Last.fm answers on. And the previous handoff's "No code yet" about RFC-010 now carries a dated note saying when it stopped being true.

Decision 13 of RFC-010 gives a
person one joker per ambiguous listen: retry it once, knowing the destination
may already hold it. Whether that joker had been spent was read as a join — the
entry stayed answerable for as long as no other row named it through
retry_of.That holds only while rows are immortal, and the retention this RFC is about to
add makes them mortal. A retry ends
sent, so it is the first thing a purgetakes, and the original turns answerable again.
Measured rather than feared. With the retry row gone:
uncertain_scrobbles,retry_uncertain_scrobbleaccepts it a second time,discard_uncertain_scrobbleaccepts it too,uncertaincounter puts it back todegradedfor a listenanswered weeks ago — decision 12's visible fault turned into a permanent
false alarm.
What changes
scrobble_outbox.retried_at, null until it is not. The retry writes it in aconditional
UPDATE … RETURNING idthat precedes the insert and is thearbitration, so two simultaneous calls cannot both find the entry unanswered.
retry_ofand its unique index stay — provenance, and a second rampart — butnothing observable depends on the survival of the row they name any more.
updated_atis deliberately left alone: it is what the listing publishes as themoment the listen became ambiguous, and answering it did not make it ambiguous
again.
The RFC named three readers; there are four.
discard_uncertain_scrobblehas carried the same exclusion since #193 and was missed by a count taken from
the decision instead of from the file. The RFC is corrected here too.
The backfill, and why it is not optional
Retried entries exist on every database linked since #191. Adding the column
empty would hand every one of those originals a second joker: on the only
servers with anything to reintroduce it to, the migration would reintroduce
exactly the defect it exists to correct. It reads
retry_ofone last time andtakes the retry row's
created_at, which is when the joker was spent.How it is proved
a_spent_joker_is_not_returned_when_the_retry_is_purgedplays the purge byhand and checks all four readers. Each of the four was inverted on its own
— put back on the join while the other three stay on the column — and each
took down its own assertion, at lines 706, 716, 730 and 741. A single broad
inversion would have been caught by the first of them and said nothing about
the other three.
a_retry_queued_before_the_column_counts_as_the_joker_spentpopulates adatabase at the schema version before the column, then migrates: the
answered entry carries the retry's instant, the unanswered one stays null, and
the retry itself spent nobody's joker. Inverted by removing the backfill
UPDATE, it falls on the first assertion.cargo fmt,cargo clippy -D warningsand the full suite (nineteen targets)are green. CodeRabbit returned one trivial finding — use
RETURNING— which istaken, along with the false claim about the SQLite floor that had kept me from
it; the second pass returned none.
The rest of RFC-010 — retention, named destinations, Maloja, Last.fm — follows
in its own pull request. This one is the correction to shipped code, kept apart
so it stays extractable.
