…wner The sidebar kept several copies of the inbox and patched each one after a read, re-implementing the server's category rules to relocate rows. Now: - Pages loaded through "Load more" are fetched with a plain request and appended to React state only. They are never stored under an SWR key, so a remount starts from the head and nothing can restore a stale page. The pagination tuple cache and its wipe are gone. - Reads are a module-level overlay written only from read-state responses and merged over every fetched row at render, higher version wins. Entries retire once a fetched row catches up and are forgotten on sign-out. - A `marked_read` result refetches the snapshot; the server places the session. The client-side category move, re-sort, destination-chain reset and reconciler registry are deleted. The one client rule left is hiding a fully read hierarchy from attention, the category's own definition. - Opening a session this page already read sends no request. Folded cleanups: the flat session-list schema drops the read state branch nothing renders; the cancel path no longer wraps a projection that never rejects; the alarm-slot contract is documented on handleAlarmDelivery; the changelog records open-equals-read.

Summary
PR #1714, refactor(web): merge read state at render and give loaded pages one owner, by @ColeMurray changes 13 files (+737/-864). The single-owner pagination and render-overlay direction removes substantial cache reconciliation complexity, but several request-lifecycle and retained-page cases can render another viewer's state or leave the sidebar stale, so this is not ready to merge.
Critical Issues
- [Correctness / user scoping]
packages/web/src/lib/session-read-state.ts:152- A delayed response from the previous viewer can be written into the next viewer's module-level overlay. - [Correctness / pagination]
packages/web/src/hooks/use-sidebar-sessions.ts:89- Retaining destination pages across a read-driven head refresh can create a permanent gap between the new head and the old tail. - [Correctness / concurrency]
packages/web/src/hooks/use-sidebar-sessions.ts:113- Filter identity does not reject stale responses after an A to B to A transition. - [Correctness / rename]
packages/web/src/hooks/use-session-rename.ts:32- Successful renames on loaded-page rows revert when the optimistic overlay clears because those rows no longer have a cache owner that receives the title. - [Error handling]
packages/web/src/hooks/use-mark-session-read.ts:41- A failed inbox revalidation is handled as a failed PATCH and retries the write rather than the refresh.
Suggestions
No additional non-blocking suggestions beyond the inline fixes.
Nitpicks
None.
Positive Feedback
- The read-state ordering and pruning rules are isolated and directly tested.
- Removing SWR ownership of cursor pages makes the normal load-more lifecycle easier to follow.
- The focused tests are comprehensive for the synchronous happy paths and existing retry behavior.
Questions
None.
Verification
Focused web tests passed: 4 files, 49 tests. Focused control-plane tests passed: 2 files, 87 tests. Web typechecking passed.
Verdict
Request Changes: the ownership races and stale retained-page regressions need to be addressed before merging.

This write is not tied to the viewer that initiated the request. If user A starts a PATCH, the auth session switches to user B, and scopeSessionReadOverlay resets the map before A's response arrives, this records A's result into B's overlay. For a shared session ID that can hide B's unread row and make isSessionMessageRead suppress B's own acknowledgement. Please capture an overlay owner/generation when starting the request and reject the result if that token is no longer current; a deferred-response account-switch test would cover the race.

Done in 6dfd1b6. Ownership is now enforced at settlement: applySessionReadResult(result, mutate, viewerId) returns false and writes nothing when the viewer is no longer current. Covered by a deferred-response account-switch test in both the lib and the page hook.

Filtering canonical duplicates is not enough to keep the retained chain coherent after a read-driven head refresh. When the newly read hierarchy enters the destination head, it can displace the old last head row below the new head cursor; the retained page still starts after the old cursor, so that displaced row exists in neither page and later load-more requests continue below it. The previous read reconciliation reset the destination chain for this reason. Please reset/rebase that category's loaded pages when placement changes (or otherwise refetch from the new head cursor).

Done in 6dfd1b6. Loaded pages are now keyed to the head page's cursor. Any boundary move discards that category's chain and in-flight responses, so nothing between the new boundary and the old tail can be skipped; an unchanged boundary keeps the chain, which is safe because rows only move up. This replaces the read-specific reset with the general rule from the deep-review thread.

requestIdentity is reusable, so it does not actually identify this pagination generation. An all request can remain pending while the filter changes all -> mine -> all; after the second all state is initialized, the first request passes this check and appends a page fetched from the obsolete cursor chain. Please include a monotonically increasing generation/request token in state and require it to match before applying either success or failure.

Done in 6dfd1b6: each chain reset increments a generation, and every updater checks it, so a response from an earlier chain is dropped even when the identity string repeats. Test: "drops a response from an earlier chain even when the filter returns to the same identity".

This refactor removes a substantial amount of cache-patching code, but the resulting ownership model is not coherent yet. Loaded pages have one storage owner without one mutation or snapshot-generation boundary, and the read overlay is globally mutable without enforcing its viewer at writes. That produces four observable regressions: tail-only renames revert, changed heads can permanently omit displaced rows, stale requests can cross account boundaries, and not_latest can render an unread hierarchy outside Needs attention. The tests pass, but the pagination-retention and unread-in-Finished tests currently codify two of these inconsistent states.
The code-judo move is to make loaded pages a coherent generation rather than repairing combinations of snapshots, and to make render overlays enforce their ownership and category invariants at the boundary. Please address these before merging.

[deep review] This breaks rename settlement for any session that exists only in a loaded tail page. Those pages now live exclusively in useCategoryPagination state, so this mutation cannot update them. The row shows optimisticTitle during the request, but the success path clears that overlay when there is no authoritative subscriber; rendering then falls back to the unchanged tail row, and revalidating the head cannot repair a row outside the first page. This is the consequence of giving pages one storage owner without giving that owner a canonical mutation boundary. Please either route typed session updates through the pagination owner or keep a render-time title projection until fetched data catches up; snapshot-only mutation is not sufficient.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in 6dfd1b6 via the rename hook's existing awaitAuthoritativeTitle path: the row keeps the confirmed title until its own fetched title catches up, which is the render-time projection you describe. See the sibling thread for why this predates the PR.

Confirmed and scoped in #1722. Passing authoritativeTitle from the row (6dfd1b6) covers the case where the session page is not open. When it is, the page header's own awaitAuthoritativeTitle subscriber clears the shared optimistic title once its detail title catches up, and a row on a loaded page falls back to its stale fetched title. Same sequence on main (tuple-key pages never matched isSessionInboxKey). Fixing it needs a per-subscriber clear or a title overlay for loaded pages; tracked separately rather than folded into this PR.
…the head boundary Review follow-ups for #1714: - A read result is applied only for the viewer who sent it; a response that outlives an account switch is dropped instead of landing in the next viewer's overlay. The session page scopes the overlay before consulting it. - `not_latest` refetches the inbox too: it carries a newer unread message, and only the server places that session. - The inbox refetch is fired independently of the acknowledgement. A failed refresh is logged and left to SWR's retry instead of resending the read. - Loaded pages are keyed to the head page's cursor. When the boundary moves the chain and any in-flight response are discarded, so rows between the new boundary and the old tail cannot be skipped. A generation counter rejects responses from an earlier chain that shares the same identity. - Sidebar rows await their own fetched title after a rename, so a confirmed rename on a loaded-page row no longer reverts when the optimistic overlay clears. - The canonical-root drop keeps the previous state identity when nothing changed; the alarm-delivery doc notes the in-flight retry exception.

Thanks, all of these were real. 6dfd1b6 enforces overlay ownership at settlement, keys loaded pages to the head boundary with a generation counter, refetches on |
The overlay owner was established from three call sites and results were gated by a boolean return. Keying entries by the viewer who sent the request makes that machinery unnecessary: a result is always recorded under its own viewer, the sidebar reads the signed-in viewer's entries, and a stale response can never land in another viewer's map. Retirement is dropped. An entry was deleted as soon as a fetched row equalled it, which happens right after the refetch a read triggers, so reopening a session visible in the sidebar sent the PATCH again. Merging already lets fetched state win when it supersedes an entry, so the map needs no upkeep and the reopen check now holds. Also: rows without a superseding entry keep their identity through the overlay merge, and a second Load more click before the loading state renders no longer sends the same cursor twice.

Round 2 (bd318c9), from a second review pass on 6dfd1b6:
Verification: web |

Summary
Phase 2 of the read-state campaign (after #1710 and #1711): one owner per cache, overlay at render.
The sidebar kept several copies of the inbox (the SWR snapshot, SWR-cached "Load more" pages, and a React copy of those pages) and patched each one in place after a read, re-implementing the server's category rules to move rows. This PR removes that.
PATCH /read-stateresults, is merged over every fetched row at render; the higher version wins. A fetched row that catches up simply wins at render, so the map needs no retirement or reset: a result is always recorded under the viewer who sent it, and the sidebar reads the signed-in viewer's entries. This is the shape a per-user push channel (Phase 3) would feed.marked_readresult refetches the snapshot and the server places the session. The client-side category move, re-sort, destination-chain reset and the reconciler registry are deleted. The one client rule left is hiding a fully read hierarchy from Needs attention, which is the category's own definition (MAX(unread) = 1in the inbox query).Folded cleanups from the post-merge review of #1710/#1711:
