Closes #167.

Problem

Every reservation ledger update rewrote 64 trees, one per hex digit of the key's route, even when the ledger held a single record. git-warp makes 3 to 4 ledger updates per retained operation, so each read cost about 214 objects and each write about 301 (git-stunts/git-warp#1080).

Fix

The index is now a path-compressed trie. A record sits at the shortest route prefix no other record shares.

  • put walks until it finds an empty slot or a record. If it finds another key's record, it pushes both down to the first digit where their routes differ.
  • get treats another key's record at a short prefix as absence, but only after proving that record belongs there. Its own route must share the walked prefix. A full-route match with a different key is still refused as a collision.
  • ReservationIndexNode allows a record blob at any depth. A subtree at the final digit is still refused.
  • scan reads a record's full route from the record itself. It skips routes an earlier page already returned, because a compressed record can sit above the cursor's padded prefix.

Compatibility

  • A 7.1.0 index stores every record at full depth, which is a valid uncompressed trie. It reads, updates and lists without migration, and new keys branch off early.
  • git-cas 7.1.0 refuses an index written by this version as RESERVATION_CORRUPT. The failure is loud rather than silent, but every process that reads or writes a clone's ledger must upgrade together.
  • The worst-case path is still 64 levels, so the design contract's bounds and the 129-node listing minimum are unchanged.

Evidence

Objects written per ledger update after 400 prior records, measured with git count-objects in Docker (test/integration/reservation-index-cost.test.js):

reserve cancel
main (7.1.0), SHA-1 and SHA-256 68 67
this PR, SHA-1 and SHA-256 7 6
  • Unit: 2,416 passed, 3 skipped. The new ReservationIndexTrie.test.js covers placement, splits at the final digit, the 7.1.0 layout, misplaced records and paging over compressed records.
  • Integration: all 132 reservation tests pass, including the process, custody-fault and corruption matrices.
  • eslint . is clean.
  • An independent review probed insertion-order independence, splits at the last digits, absence versus corruption, and paging across a later split. It found no correctness bug, and its probe test passed in Docker.
  • One listing test assumed 10 records would overflow a 129-node budget. That only held at full depth, so the test now uses 150 records.

Each ledger update rewrote all 64 route trees, because every record sat
under one tree per hex digit of its route. A record now sits at the
shortest route prefix no other record shares, so an update writes one
blob and about log16(records) trees. A 7.1.0 full-depth index still
reads and updates; git-cas 7.1.0 refuses the compressed layout.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Changed
    • Reservation indexes now use compressed route paths, reducing storage work for typical reservations while retaining the existing worst-case path depth.
    • Existing 7.1.0 indexes remain readable and can be updated without migration. However, 7.1.0 cannot read indexes written by this version, so all processes writing a clone’s reservation ledger must be upgraded together.
    • Reservation listings continue to support route-ordered pagination across compressed indexes.

The reservation index now stores records at the shortest route prefixes that distinguish them. Reads, scans, and updates support compressed paths and legacy full-depth indexes. Tests cover placement, pagination, object-write counts, and malformed entries.

Updates replace matching records or split different records at their first differing route digit. Tests measure tree writes and object counts, including SHA-1 and SHA-256 repositories. Documentation describes path depth and compatibility with 7.1.0 indexes.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 64247

The reservation index now stores records at the shortest distinguishing route prefix and still reads and updates 7.1.0 indexes. It is ready to merge. All processes writing a clone's ledger must upgrade together, since 7.1.0 rejects the new layout; this is documented in the changelog.

The description is mostly complete. It identifies the issue, explains the design, and reports validation and compatibility impact. It does not link the design document or state the issue labels and milestone.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 7 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

[#167] The compressed trie splits records at route divergence and validates placement and collisions. Tests cover the five-tree bound at 400 records, legacy reads, updates, insertion and route-ordered listing, corruption, and pagination. The PR reports passing unit and reservation integration suites and lint. It confirms Docker for the cost measurement, but does not state whether all three required checks ran in Docker.

Resolution

Provide the execution environment and results for the full unit suite, lint, and reservation integration suite.

I’m a rabbit with a route to trace,
I tuck each record in its place.
Short paths branch where routes divide,
Old deep trails still let me stride.
One neat hop, then off I bound!
Fresh little trees spring from the ground.

Additional comments: 3

src/domain/services/ReservationIndexNode.js: 1

31-31: Functional Correctness

The inspected callers use the new contracts. No incompatible caller was found to support the concern.

test/unit/domain/services/ReservationIndex.test.js: 1

61-62: Maintainability & Code Quality

The setup writes cannot affect the writeTree spy. The 129-record case does not need a four-level path: four is an upper bound, not an expected depth. The lookup bound also limits the update counts, and separate tests cover placement and the 400-record write bound. No material coverage gap is established.

test/integration/reservation-index-cost.test.js: 1

13-22: Functional Correctness

The loose-object delta does not count write calls. The separate unit test checks the specified index write-call bound. The inspected evidence does not establish that repacking occurs during either measurement or that object reuse invalidates this integration witness.
