From 1aaf1c53afe0061aa81ebdf3ce6e65246d651192 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Morgan Pretty Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2026 10:23:43 +1000 Subject: [PATCH 01/11] Report a conversation's new position without re-sending the list A conversation's place in either list is decided by `last_activity` and `priority`. Storing a message moves the first, and `_flush_pending` emitted `conversation_updated` for the row and stopped there -- so a subscriber was told the row had changed and never that it had moved. Working the new position out from that means reimplementing this sort on the other side of the callback, and the two lists are not sorted the same way: conversations are `priority DESC, last_activity DESC, id` and requests are `last_activity DESC, id` with no priority term at all. A client that copies one comparator gets the other list wrong. `_set_priority` already reports a move properly and says why: "Reported as a replacement, not as an update to the one conversation whose priority changed: what moved is the list." Sending and receiving were the two paths that moved an ordering term without saying so. But a replacement is the wrong instrument on this path, which is why this does not reuse it. A `conversation_list_replaced` carries whole rows -- fifteen fields including display name and snippet -- so one arriving message would send every field of every other row to describe a change to one of them, and would send the moved row's snippet twice, since `conversation_updated` has just carried it. Measured through the Session client's bridge at 5,000 conversations, that replacement costs 155 ms on an iPhone X; the ids alone cost 59 ms, and most of the remainder is unavoidable. So `conversation_order_updated` and `request_order_updated` carry that list's ids in their new order and nothing else. The division is that `conversation_updated` says what a row now contains and these say where the rows now are; a subscriber applying both ends up where a replacement would have put it. Replacements keep their existing job -- a change to the *contents* of a list, and membership changes like approval, which moves a row between the two and is still reported as both being replaced. Three things keep it cheap: - **Only when the order actually changed.** The ids are read, compared against what was last reported, and dropped if they match. This suppresses the common case outright: a message into the conversation already at the top of its list leaves every row exactly where it was, which is what a back-and-forth in an open conversation does. `_emit_lists_replaced` records what it sent too, since a replacement tells the subscriber the same thing about position -- without that, an order event matching an older belief would be wrongly suppressed. - **Only the list the row is in.** The two lists are strict complements, so a message can only move a row within the one it already sits in; reporting both would say one true thing and one false one. Which list is read off the row `_flush_pending` has already fetched, so it costs no extra query. - **Only when an ordering term moved, once per batch.** Twelve of the sixteen things that dirty a conversation -- a read receipt, a nickname, an expiry, an auto-download setting -- leave it where it was, and `_mark_read` alone runs every time a conversation is opened. Reported through `_touch_reordered` so a poll delivering fifty messages to one conversation reaches `_flush_pending` once, which is the same reason `_dirty` exists. The order events are emitted after the `conversation_updated` loop rather than before it, and the handler documents that as a guarantee: the ids always name conversations the subscriber has already been told about, so an id it does not recognise -- or one it holds that is absent -- means it missed a notification, and is a reason to re-read the list rather than a state to reconcile. --- include/session/client.hpp | 38 ++++++++ include/session/client/callbacks.hpp | 47 +++++++++- src/client/client.cpp | 131 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++- tests/test_client/common.hpp | 11 +++ tests/test_client/sending.cpp | 61 ++++++++++++- 5 files changed, 280 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/session/client.hpp b/include/session/client.hpp index ba543d7c..0b95f2ae 100644 --- a/include/session/client.hpp +++ b/include/session/client.hpp @@ -1229,9 +1229,47 @@ class Client { // dirtied them is finished. std::vector _dirty; bool _flush_scheduled = false; + // The conversations in this batch whose *place* changed and not merely their contents, so that + // `_flush_pending` reports the order once for the batch instead of once per message. + // + // The ids rather than a flag, because which list to report is a property of the row that moved: + // the two lists are strict complements, so a message can only have moved a row within the one + // it already sits in, and reporting both would say one true thing and one false one. + // `_flush_pending` reads the list off the conversation it has already fetched to emit + // `conversation_updated`, so knowing which costs no extra query. + std::vector _dirty_order; void _touch(const ConversationId& id); + // `_touch`, for a change that moves the row: `last_activity` and `priority` are what both lists + // are ordered by, so a subscriber told only that the row changed would not know it had moved. + // Named rather than a flag on `_touch` because the two readings are not obvious from a bool at + // a call site, and most callers are the plain one -- a nickname or a read receipt changes the + // row and leaves it exactly where it was. + void _touch_reordered(const ConversationId& id); void _flush_pending(); + // The ids, in order, as each list was last reported to the subscriber -- by an order event or + // by a replacement, since both tell it the same thing about position. + // + // Kept so that an order event can be suppressed when the order has not actually changed, which + // is the common case and the point of the whole exercise: a message into the conversation + // already at the top of its list leaves every row exactly where it was.

It kept whatever arrangement the last replacement left it in, and nothing said otherwise. Each handler is now sent when it is registered, and the query follows from that. A replacement carries the rows and their order is already in them, so a subscriber wanting one is served by the row query alone; asking for the ids as well would be a second query for something already held.

So everything that changes a row without moving it -- a read receipt, a nickname, an expiry, and `mark_read`, which runs every time a conversation is opened -- reached `conversation_updated` and no further. A subscriber holding whole lists kept one whose unread counts and nicknames were stale, which is the same shape of bug as the one this branch set out to fix, from the other end. The two are different questions and now have different answers. A list is stale as soon as any row in it changed, so the replacement follows `_dirty`; only a row that moved can have changed the order, so the order event still follows `_dirty_order`. A hidden row is in neither list, so it now marks neither stale. No contents check beyond that. Holding the previous rows and comparing them costs 0.12 ms at five thousand conversations, which is affordable, but the flag above already means nothing is read unless a row in that list demonstrably changed -- and every such change shows up in the columns a list carries, so the comparison would find a difference every time it ran. --- include/session/client.hpp | 8 +++- src/client/client.cpp | 89 +++++++++++++++++++---------------- tests/test_client/sending.cpp | 27 +++++++++++ 3 files changed, 81 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/session/client.hpp b/include/session/client.hpp index ec408ea8..5b056147 100644 --- a/include/session/client.hpp +++ b/include/session/client.hpp @@ -1275,13 +1275,17 @@ class Client { // wanting only the order gets the id-only query, which is the cheaper of the two and the one // that runs on every message. void _report_list( + bool changed, + bool moved, std::vector& reported, std::vector (Client::*rows)(), std::vector (Client::*ids)(), std::function)> callbacks::* replaced, std::function)> callbacks::* reordered); - // Reports whichever of the two lists is asked for.

A subscriber holding conversation_order_updated and no list handler was told nothing by any of them, and kept the arrangement it had until some later message happened to move something. So _emit_lists_replaced is now _report_lists_replaced, and goes through the same per-registration path as a moved row: both lists, changed and possibly moved.

The measurement agrees: at five thousand conversations the anchor is one indexed seek at 0.11 ms against 1.85 ms to read the ordered ids and 4.85 ms to read the rows, and the client changes an index rather than rebuilding a list. So conversation_order_updated and request_order_updated go, and with them everything that existed only to serve them: the record of what order was last reported, the two id-only queries and the columns they selected, and the tracking of which rows moved rather than merely changed. _touch takes back the three call sites that wanted the narrower one. What the review asked to keep stays: each list is still reported only if a row in it changed and only to a handler that asked for it, and a replacement is still not suppressed when the order is unchanged, because the row that brought us here has a new snippet and the list is what carries it. Removed as its own commit rather than left out of the rebase, so the logic is recoverable if the anchor turns out not to cover a case. --- include/session/client.hpp | 58 +--------- include/session/client/callbacks.hpp | 40 +------ src/client/client.cpp | 153 +++++-------------------- tests/test_client/common.hpp | 31 ----- tests/test_client/sending.cpp | 164 ++++----------------------- 5 files changed, 55 insertions(+), 391 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/session/client.hpp b/include/session/client.hpp index 92bde81f..996d7c3d 100644 --- a/include/session/client.hpp +++ b/include/session/client.hpp @@ -1233,63 +1233,17 @@ class Client { // dirtied them is finished. std::vector _dirty; bool _flush_scheduled = false; - // The conversations in this batch whose *place* changed and not merely their contents, so that - // `_flush_pending` reports the order once for the batch instead of once per message. - // - // The ids rather than a flag, because which list to report is a property of the row that moved: - // the two lists are strict complements, so a message can only have moved a row within the one - // it already sits in, and reporting both would say one true thing and one false one. - // `_flush_pending` reads the list off the conversation it has already fetched to emit - // `conversation_updated`, so knowing which costs no extra query. - std::vector _dirty_order; void _touch(const ConversationId& id); - // `_touch`, for a change that moves the row: `last_activity` and `priority` are what both lists - // are ordered by, so a subscriber told only that the row changed would not know it had moved. - // Named rather than a flag on `_touch` because the two readings are not obvious from a bool at - // a call site, and most callers are the plain one -- a nickname or a read receipt changes the - // row and leaves it exactly where it was. - void _touch_reordered(const ConversationId& id); void _flush_pending(); - - // The ids, in order, as each list was last reported to the subscriber -- by an order event or - // by a replacement, since both tell it the same thing about position. - // - // Kept so that an order event can be suppressed when the order has not actually changed, which - // is the common case and the point of the whole exercise: a message into the conversation - // already at the top of its list leaves every row exactly where it was.

Adds and updates now carry a ListPlacement: which list the subscriber is holding the row in, which it belongs in now, and the row it follows. Enough to apply on its own -- take it out of `from`, put it into `to` after `after` -- so a subscriber never searches the list a row did not come from, and never works out where it was holding it. Removals carry just the list, since the other two fields would always be empty there. The anchor is one indexed seek against conversations_order: 0.11 ms at five thousand conversations, against 1.85 ms to read the ordered ids and 4.85 ms to read the rows. Ids rather than indices deliberately: an index is ~70x cheaper to apply but needs the whole ordered list to produce, puts 0.75 ms on this loop to save 0.05 ms on the client's, and fails silently when the two disagree, where an unmatched id fails loudly. `from` is what the subscriber was last *told*, not what the database now says, so it survives a row changing lists twice between flushes. It is recorded wherever a row is reported placed -- including by a whole-list replacement, which places every row it carries -- and dropped when a row is hidden or removed. Keyed by ConversationId and not by row id because a removal is reported after the row is deleted, so there would be nothing left to look a row id up from. Anchors checked against a thousand conversations and three hundred requests: every one is the row immediately before it in its list, and a leading row reports none. --- include/session/client.hpp | 11 +++ include/session/client/callbacks.hpp | 55 ++++++++++++- src/client/client.cpp | 118 ++++++++++++++++++++++++--- tests/test_client/common.hpp | 15 +++- tests/test_client/configs.cpp | 8 +- tests/test_client/sending.cpp | 103 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 288 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/session/client.hpp b/include/session/client.hpp index 996d7c3d..e7ec0008 100644 --- a/include/session/client.hpp +++ b/include/session/client.hpp @@ -1237,8 +1237,19 @@ class Client { void _flush_pending(); // Reports one list, if a row in it changed and the subscriber asked for it.
