fix(persistence-test): eliminate forced database teardown race - #34
Merged
Merged
Conversation
`withDatabase` ended its pool and then immediately ran
`DROP DATABASE ... WITH (FORCE)`. That produced intermittent
`terminating connection due to administrator command` failures in
`postgres integration (persistence)`, on a different test each run.
`pool.end()` does not wait for its clients to close. In pg 8.22.0
`_pulseQueue` reaches the end callback in the same synchronous turn in
which `_remove` filters the last client out of `_clients`, while
`client.end()` has only queued the Terminate byte. Measured here: zero
of four `remove` events had fired at the moment `end()` resolved. The
drop could therefore still find a backend attached; FORCE terminated it,
and the FATAL arrived on a socket whose pool still had `idleListener`
attached — `_remove` never detaches it — so pg re-emitted it as
`pool.emit('error')`. With no listener that is an uncaught exception,
which node:test attributes to whichever test is running rather than to
the teardown that caused it.
FORCE was not required, and was the harm. Measured against PostgreSQL
16.14 with a backend deliberately held open: plain `DROP DATABASE` fails
with SQLSTATE 55006 and leaves that connection untouched, where FORCE
succeeds by killing it. Teardown now waits for the database to be
genuinely unused and drops it ordinarily — a loud, harmless failure in
place of a quiet, harmful success. FORCE survives only on the emergency
path, after teardown has already given up, so no database is leaked.
The protocol moves into `withTestDatabase`, exported from the new
`@chess-platform/persistence/test-support` subpath rather than from the
driver-facing `./pg` surface. Both isolated-database call sites use it.
`auth-signin-schema.integration.test.ts` had absorbed SQLSTATE 57P01
with a `pool.on('error', ...)` listener when this race surfaced there
first; that listener is deleted, because the corrected lifecycle never
terminates a connection and a real connection failure in those tests
should stay as loud as it was.
Teardown is bounded — `pool.end()` included, since a client checked out
and never released leaves it pending indefinitely (measured past a
three-second bound) — names the lingering backends when it gives up, and
never lets a cleanup failure replace the assertion the test failed on.
Seven regression tests pin the contract against a real server. None
asserts on elapsed wall-clock time: the waiting test releases its
lingering connection from the quiescence callback, so it is a latch
rather than a sleep. Seven of nine mutations are killed, including
restoring the immediate FORCE drop, making the predicate unconditional,
dropping before the pool is ended, and removing the bound.
No production code changes: `createPool` and `migrate` are untouched, and
migration order, SQL, checksums, transaction and advisory-lock semantics
are all unchanged. No migration was added. Signature B is a separate
defect and remains UNRESOLVED.

Seven review findings, all real. Two were database leaks and one would have reintroduced the exact uncaught error this branch removes. The emergency `WITH (FORCE)` drop — the one place FORCE survives, taken only after teardown has already failed — can terminate a client the callback checked out and never released. That lease is what makes `pool.end()` time out in the first place, so the two always arrive together. A leased client is not idle, so `pg` has removed `idleListener` from it and the pool never sees its error: the FATAL had no listener anywhere and Node raised it as an uncaught exception, attributed to an unrelated test. Exactly the failure this branch exists to remove, reintroduced by its own cleanup. The regression test for it leaks a pool client and attaches nothing of its own, and it failed before this fix. Clients are now tracked through pg's public `connect`/`remove` events, and the emergency path attaches a listener to the pool and to every live client before dropping. That listener re-throws anything it did not cause, so it is not the absorber this branch deleted from the API test: that one sat on every run and hid a race in the normal path. Two leaks. `dropWhenFree` threw its timeout without dropping, and the caller then treated `DatabaseTeardownTimeoutError` as proof the database was gone — so the last-resort drop was skipped and the database stayed on the server. The create-path catch also set `dropped = true` on the assumption that only `CREATE DATABASE` could fail there, when the URL rewrite and pool construction after it can fail with the database already created. `undefined` was both the no-error sentinel and a legal rejection value, so `throw undefined` from a callback resolved as success with an uninitialised result. Separate booleans record failure now. The budget bounded only `pool.end()`; every later admin query was awaited unbounded, so a stalled connection could sit past it with nothing to interrupt it. Each teardown step is bounded now. The bound is deliberately not a `statement_timeout` on the admin pool, which would also have applied to the `CREATE DATABASE` that runs before teardown — with `teardownTimeoutMs: 300` in two tests, that would have starved creation on a slower machine. The concurrency test asserted that no quiescence check ever saw a backend, which is flaky for the very reason this helper exists and proved nothing about isolation anyway, since the query already filters by database. It now proves the short run finishes while the long one still holds its own database open. Also fixed a coverage gap the mutations exposed rather than a reviewer: removing `endPoolWithin` was only caught by tests running fifty times slower, because pg's 10s `idleTimeoutMillis` drains the pool on its own. A successful run now asserts the pool was already ended, using pg's documented "Called end on pool more than once". 10 of 13 mutations killed. The three survivors are named in the PR rather than padded out: each is a defensive branch that needs a contrived fixture to reach.

The last-resort `DROP DATABASE ... WITH (FORCE)` runs inside a `catch`, so that a failed cleanup cannot bury the error already being reported. That is the right trade, but it means a server which refuses that drop can still leave a database behind — and PROJECT_STATE, ROADMAP and the helper's own docstring all claimed teardown "never leaks a database on any path". They now say what is true: the database is dropped on every path teardown can reach, including the one where it gives up, and the final fallback is best effort. Raised by CodeRabbit against the handover doc, and it is the same class of overstatement this branch has been correcting elsewhere.

Four more review findings, three of them consequences of the previous round. Racing `admin.query()` bounded nothing. The abandoned query kept its client checked out, and `pool.end()` never closes a checked-out client — so the bounded end gave up as well and the helper could return with live sockets and a query still running, which is the opposite of the guarantee it had just added. Admin statements now lease their client explicitly and `release(true)` it on overrun, which destroys the connection the statement is waiting on. Only a deadline overrun destroys: a statement that fails on its own terms, 55006 from a drop say, has finished with a client that is still good. `isForcedTermination` matched any message containing "Connection terminated", which is also what pg reports for an unrelated server restart or dropped network. As a general predicate it is now SQLSTATE 57P01 only. The bare message still has to be absorbed — measured here, that is exactly what a *leased* client sees when its socket goes down under an in-flight lease, and narrowing to SQLSTATE alone made the leaked-pool-client test fail — so that match now lives inside `forceDropAbandoned`, scoped to connections already being abandoned, after this code has itself issued the termination, on a path that always throws. The last-resort drop is a forced drop too, so it owes the same connections the same listener. It routes through `forceDropAbandoned` when a pool exists. The concurrency test assumed the short lifecycle finished inside a fixed 1.5s `pg_sleep`, which a loaded server can lose — failing a correct implementation. The long run is now held open by an explicit release, so the ordering is a fact of the test rather than a bet on the clock. Found while validating, not by a reviewer: deriving each step's budget from the time remaining collapsed it to 1ms exactly when the deadline was reached, so the quiescence check died with `TeardownDeadlineError` instead of reporting what it found — and node:test attributed the escaping error to an unrelated file, which is the very failure this branch removes. The per-step budget is a safety net for a server that has stopped answering; the loop's deadline is what ends the wait. The two are now separate. Persistence 173/173 and the full suite green on a fresh PostgreSQL 16.14, no databases left behind. 10 of 13 mutations killed, unchanged.

… typed Four more findings, and two of them were leaks in this file's own tests — the class of defect it exists to prevent. The concurrency test released its latch only on the success path. If the short run rejected or the ordering assertion failed, the long callback stayed suspended on `heldOpen` forever: its teardown never ran, its pool and disposable database stayed alive, and the runner could fail to exit. The gate now opens in a `finally` and the long run is awaited there. That test also held its database with `pool.query`, which returns its client to the pool as soon as it answers. An idle client can be closed before the short run finishes, leaving the long run holding no backend at all — so the isolation it claims to prove would not have been proven. It leases a client across the gate now and releases it in a `finally`. In `dropWhenFree`, a `DROP DATABASE` answering 55006 at or past the deadline was rethrown as a raw PostgreSQL error. That skipped the snapshot naming what still held the database, skipped the typed DatabaseTeardownTimeoutError, and left only the outer best-effort drop. 55006 at the deadline is a teardown timeout like any other: it takes a final snapshot, force-drops, and reports the typed error. Every other SQLSTATE still propagates untouched. Persistence 173/173, full suite green on a fresh PostgreSQL 16.14, no databases left behind, all six guard scripts pass. 10 of 13 mutations killed, unchanged.

…t by name Two findings from CodeRabbit, both in this file's own tests. The long fixture only gained a rejection handler after `await short`. A rejection arriving while the short run was still pending was unhandled at that moment, so node:test would report an uncaught rejection instead of the captured failure — hiding precisely what the precedence logic below it was written to surface. The outcome is now settled in the same `.then` that sets `longFinished`, where the promise is created. `countTestDatabases()` counted every `test_db_%` database on the server, and this suite shares that server with whatever else runs against DATABASE_URL. A before/after count was therefore answering for the other process as much as for the fixture. Both leak checks name their own database instead, which is exact and immune to a neighbour. CodeRabbit raised one of the two; the same reasoning applied to the other, so both are fixed and the counting helper is gone. Persistence 173/173, api 975, full suite green on a fresh PostgreSQL 16.14, no databases left behind, all six guards pass, counts 3270.

The normal teardown path terminates nothing — that is the whole point of dropping without FORCE — but PROJECT_STATE still described the emergency path as "removing the database so nothing leaks", which claims more than the code does in both directions. That path does terminate whatever is still attached, and its final fallback drop runs inside a `catch` so a cleanup failure cannot bury the error being reported, which means a server that refuses the drop can leave a database behind. Which of the two happened is recorded rather than assumed: DatabaseTeardownTimeoutError carries `droppedDatabase`, with any failed drop attached as its `cause`. AI_HANDOVER.md points engineers and agents at this file as the detailed handover, so wording that overstates the guarantee would misdirect exactly the person diagnosing a teardown.

Two more findings, both about work this code starts and then stops waiting for. `withDeadline(admin.connect(), ...)` stops the wait but does not cancel the connect. A lease landing after the deadline was checked out with nobody left to release it, and `pool.end()` waits for checked-out clients — so the pool the bound existed to protect would never close. The late arrival is now destroyed with `release(true)`, and the lease rejecting on its own is tolerated. `CREATE DATABASE` ran through a raw `admin.query`. `connectionTimeoutMillis` bounds acquiring a connection, not a query on one already established, so a stalled server could hold that await open forever — before the callback runs and before there is any cleanup to start. It goes through `boundedQuery` now, under its own generous CREATE_TIMEOUT_MS rather than `teardownTimeoutMs`: two tests set that as low as 300ms to exercise the timeout path, and starving creation with a teardown budget is a hazard this branch already had to back out of once. The static-analysis SQL-injection warnings on that line are noise, not a finding. PostgreSQL has no bound-parameter form for an identifier, the name is generated in this function and cannot be supplied by a caller, and it matches `[a-z0-9_]+` with nothing to escape — which is written down beside the generation. Persistence 173/173, api 975/975, full suite green on a fresh PostgreSQL 16.14 across two consecutive runs, no databases left behind, six guards pass, counts 3270, mutations 10 of 14.

… budget Both reviewers found this independently, and it is the same hazard this branch already backed out of once in another form. An earlier revision applied `teardownTimeoutMs` as a `statement_timeout` on the admin pool and had to drop that because the same pool runs `CREATE DATABASE`. The `connectionTimeoutMillis` left behind did exactly the same thing to acquisition: tests here pass `teardownTimeoutMs: 300` to exercise the timeout path, so setup connections were capped at 300ms and creation could fail on a loaded server before the callback ever ran — with `CREATE_TIMEOUT_MS` of 30s never getting a say. Removed rather than raised to a floor. It was redundant as well as harmful: every `admin.connect()` in this file goes through `boundedQuery`, which already bounds acquisition with the budget belonging to that operation — 30s for creation, the teardown budget for teardown. A second pool-level bound could only ever disagree with the right one.

The failure, and why it landed on innocent tests
postgres integration (persistence)failed intermittently during M15 Increment 44 withterminating connection due to administrator command— SQLSTATE57P01— reported as anuncaughtExceptionagainst a different test on each run (78, 79, 80). A different test failingeach time is the signature of a race, not a broken assertion, and the tests it accused had nothing
to do with the cause.
withDatabaseinpackages/persistence/test/variant-migrations.integration.test.tsdid this:pool.end()does not wait for its clients to close. In the installedpg8.22.0,_pulseQueuereaches the end callback in the same synchronous turn in which_removefilters thelast client out of

pg-poolemitsremoveonly afterclient.end()completes, socounting those events at the moment
end()resolves says exactly how much closing had finished.removeevents fired whenawait pool.end()resolved, with 4 clients openSo the drop could still find a backend attached.
FORCEthen did precisely what it promises — itterminated that backend — and the
FATALarrived on a socket whose pool still hadidleListenerattached, because
_removenever detaches it.pgre-emitted it aspool.emit('error'), and anEventEmitter
'error'with no listener is an uncaught exception.node:testattributed it towhichever test happened to be running.
WITH (FORCE)was not required. It was the harm.The two drops were compared directly against PostgreSQL 16.14, with a backend deliberately held
open so the outcome was not left to a race:
DROP DATABASE ... WITH (FORCE)DROP DATABASE(plain)Plain
DROP DATABASEcannot cause this failure. It refuses loudly and injures nobody.FORCEsucceeds by killing something. The fix is to stop needing it: wait until the database is genuinely
unused, then drop it ordinarily — trading a quiet, harmful success for a loud, harmless failure.
FORCEsurvives in exactly one place: best-effort emergency cleanup, attempted only afterteardown has already failed or exhausted its bound. It is not a guarantee. That emergency drop can
itself fail — the server may be unreachable, or the admin connection already gone — so no absolute
no-leak claim is made here. Instead the outcome is recorded:
DatabaseTeardownTimeoutErrorcarries
droppedDatabase, saying whether the emergency cleanup actually succeeded, and anyemergency-drop failure is retained as the error's
cause. Either way teardown throws, so it cannever pass silently.
The new teardown contract
withTestDatabase, inpackages/persistence/src/test-support/database.ts:pool.end()closes only idle clients — one checkedout and never released leaves it pending forever (measured: still unresolved past a three-second
bound). Teardown must fail with a diagnostic rather than hang the suite.
pg_stat_activityfrom the admin connection — which is attached to a different database —until nothing is on the target, or the bound elapses.
DROP DATABASE.55006is retried inside the same deadline, because abackend (autovacuum, realistically) can attach between the check and the drop. Every other
SQLSTATE propagates untouched: this absorbs a scheduling outcome, never a database error.
FORCEdrop, then throwDatabaseTeardownTimeoutErrornaming the lingering backends by pid andapplication_name,recording in
droppedDatabasewhether that cleanup actually succeeded, and attaching anyemergency-drop failure as
cause.Error precedence is explicit, because the naive
try/finallygets it wrong: the callback's erroris always what surfaces, with a teardown failure attached as its
cause. Losing the assertionthat actually failed would be the worse trade.
The 57P01 absorber is deleted
packages/api/test/auth-signin-schema.integration.test.tshad the samepool.end()→DROP ... FORCEshape, and had already hit this failure. It handled it by absorbing the error:That is a symptom fix — it silences the FATAL rather than stopping it being caused. Both call sites
now share the corrected helper, and that suite-wide listener is gone. The corrected normal
lifecycle does not terminate target connections, so on that path there is nothing to absorb, and a
genuine connection failure in those tests is once again as loud as it should be.
The emergency timeout/failure path may still deliberately terminate abandoned connections with
WITH (FORCE). Only there is the termination it caused itself handled, scoped to that one drop andto the pool and clients already being abandoned — never installed across the suite.
Deterministic regression evidence
10 regression tests in
packages/persistence/test/test-database.integration.test.ts, against areal server. None asserts on elapsed wall-clock time — that measures the machine, not the
contract.
The waiting test proves the wait with a latch, not a sleep: it holds a connection open, and
releases it from inside the quiescence callback, the first time teardown reports seeing it.
Teardown cannot proceed until the backend is gone, and it only goes because a check observed it.
It then asserts the connection was never terminated — no
FORCE, so no 57P01 to absorb.undefinedis still a failureFalsification — 10 of 14 mutations killed
Each mutation was applied alone, compiled, run, then restored from an on-disk backup verified by
SHA-256 (byte-identical after every one).
undefinedas the callback-failure sentinel againThe four survivors are reported rather than hidden, and none of them is evidence that the branch is
correct there. They are uncovered defensive branches that would need fault injection to reach:
a non-55006 drop error (M7), a construction failure after
CREATE DATABASEalready succeeded(M13), a non-termination error arriving on the abandoned pool (M14), and an emergency drop that
itself fails (M15). Each is correct by inspection; none is proven by test.
M4 initially survived too — the throwing-callback test only had teardown succeed, so nothing
covered the precedence rule. Test 5 was added to close it, and M4 now dies. M8 initially survived
only because
pg's 10-second idle timeout rescued it; test 1 now asserts the pool was ended byrequiring a second
end()to reject, which kills it deterministically.Validation

pgvector/pgvector:pg16, matching CI exactly),DATABASE_URLset — a runwithout it proves nothing here, since the whole defect lives in teardown and the suite self-skips.

Found while validating, and deliberately not fixed here
The persistence suite is not idempotent against a reused database. This is a separate,
reproducible defect, distinct from the one this PR fixes. A second consecutive run against the same
server fails, and it predates the change:
b95065f(main)The failures are in the achievements, identity-tokens and tournaments repositories, which share
chess_testinstead of taking a database of their own. CI provisions a fresh server every run, soit has never surfaced there. This change does not cause it and slightly reduces it; fixing it is a
separate increment.
It is also, for the record, what briefly made this PR look like a regression during validation: I
had run the persistence suite standalone before running it again inside the full suite.
Two further observations, recorded at their real strength and no higher:
packages/apitest failed once during a full-suite run and did not reproduce — not inthree later full-suite runs, nor when
packages/apiwas run alone (975 pass). It is anunexplained single observation, not a proven defect, and is recorded only because it was seen.
production image buildwas cancelled twice on this branch (The operation was canceledmid-
tsc, once at 20m16s). That is infrastructure variance in job duration, not a source-codefailure — the job passed on re-run and is green at this head.
Scope
Test infrastructure only.
createPoolandmigrateare untouched, and so are migration order,variant migration SQL, the canonical variant domain, checksums, transaction semantics and
advisory-lock semantics. No migration was added. The helper is exported from a new
@chess-platform/persistence/test-supportsubpath rather than from./pg, so the driver-facingproduction surface does not grow a test harness.
Signature B remains UNRESOLVED. It is a separate defect, nothing here touches it, and no claim
about it is made or implied.
