Part of #8665.

Extracts WAL root-hash search logic from find-trie-root into cmd/util/cmd/common/wal.go as exported SearchRootHashForward and SearchRootHashBackward functions. The backward variant iterates segments last-to-first (per-segment records still read forward), which is efficient when the target hash is near the end of the WAL.

Updates find-trie-root to use SearchRootHashBackward via the shared package. Adds unit tests covering single-segment, multi-segment, last-occurrence, bounded-range, and not-found cases.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds bounded forward and backward WAL root-hash searches with explicit error classification. The find-trie-root command now trims at the selected matching offset. Tests cover matching, missing hashes, duplicates, bounds, and corrupt records.

Changes

WAL root-hash search

Layer / File(s) Summary
Search contract and range dispatch
cmd/util/cmd/common/wal.go
Search functions accept a zerolog.Logger, expose sentinel errors, validate ranges, discover segments, and clamp bounds.
Forward and backward WAL scanning
cmd/util/cmd/common/wal.go, cmd/util/cmd/common/wal_test.go
Forward search returns the first match. Backward search returns the latest match in the newest matching segment. Reader, decoding, and terminal scan failures are handled explicitly.
Selected match trimming integration
cmd/util/cmd/find-trie-root/cmd.go, cmd/util/cmd/find-trie-root/cmd_test.go
The command passes the selected offset, scans the target segment directly, and retains records through that occurrence.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to cff96

WAL searches and trie-root trimming now select the latest matching record, but corrupt WAL input may be handled as a recoverable command error rather than an integrity exception, and forward lookup does unnecessary full-range I/O after a match. Resolve these issues before merge.

166-171: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Stop the forward scan after the first match.

The loop now decodes every remaining record in [from,to] after the match is recorded. The returned position is unchanged, so the extra work has no effect on the result. For a large WAL directory this reads the whole remaining range on each call. searchBackward returns as soon as a segment matches, so the two directions differ in cost.

If you keep the full scan on purpose (for example, to surface a corrupt trailing record after the match), state that reason in the function comment.

This loop still has the bug class the PR fixed in common/wal.go: reader.Err() is checked inside the loop (line 211), but Next() only returns true when the error is nil (onflow/wal reader.go:51), so that check is dead, and there is no Err() check after the loop. A torn record reached before the selected offset ends the loop silently and the function returns the 'not found' error instead of failing. Drop the in-loop check and add a post-loop reader.Err() check before the not-found return, mirroring searchForward.

Classify the WAL read failure as irrecoverable.

This terminal WAL integrity failure returns fmt.Errorf. The shared scanner uses irrecoverable.NewExceptionf for the same failure class. Use the same classification here.

As per coding guidelines, “use the irrecoverable package for exceptions instead of fmt.Errorf”.
