A Character deleted from a World Shard can remain in Realm-core party membership and surviving World Shard mirrors. A Transfer can resemble a deletion while another Gateway still waits for the destination update.

Move deletion cleanup off Coordinator callbacks and confirm Character absence with server-acknowledged subscriptions on every healthy World Shard. Cleanup now retries Realm-core leave and mirror repair, reconciles after startup or reconnect, preserves pending loot ordering, and treats repeated cleanup as harmless. A private two-Coordinator test delays the observer's destination update during a real Transfer, proves membership remains, then deletes the destination Character and observes automatic Realm-core and mirror cleanup.

Validation:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy -p lyracore-gateway --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo test -p lyracore-gateway stdb::subscriptions::character_gone_durable_tests::another_gateway_waits_for_the_transfer_then_cleans_the_deleted_character -- --ignored --exact --nocapture
  • cargo test -p lyracore-gateway -- --skip world::tests::wire_corruption_tests::writer_trace_dump_writes_a_file_with_the_traced_frames

The skipped trace-path test fails unchanged at the base commit and this commit because the existing /tmp/gw-writer-crash directory is not writable by the test user.

Refs #46

Implemented by GPT-5.6 Sol at high reasoning effort with Codex on T3.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved party cleanup when characters are deleted or transferred between world shards.
    • Cleanup now confirms character absence across applicable shards before removing memberships.
    • Added retries and safer handling for temporary connection, lookup, and synchronization failures.
    • Preserves memberships when character presence is uncertain and reconciles stale memberships.
    • Deferred, coalesced cleanup runs after startup, reconnections, and deletions.
    • Preserved item random-property data across loot, inventory, mail, trade, and equipment updates.
    • Improved error handling when updating party rosters during character removal.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Deleted-character party cleanup now uses durable cross-shard absence checks, deferred coalesced reconciliation, retrying realm-core leaves, and shard mirror synchronization. Reconnect and startup flows also schedule reconciliation. Realm loot operations now preserve random-property identifiers.

Changes

Deleted-character party reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Durable presence and cleanup contracts
gateway/src/stdb/connection.rs, gateway/src/stdb/reads/party.rs, gateway/src/stdb/world_store.rs, gateway/src/world/store.rs, gateway/src/world/tests.rs
Connections track generations and Character revisions. Durable snapshots and healthy-shard checks support stable absence detection. Store interfaces expose party cleanup and enumeration operations.
Party cleanup and mirror synchronization
gateway/src/stdb/reducers.rs, gateway/src/world/party.rs, gateway/src/world/party_tests.rs, gateway/src/world/tests.rs
Cleanup sends deleted-character leaves through realm-core, retries uncertain outcomes, preserves primary errors, and synchronizes world-shard mirrors.
Coalesced reconciliation lifecycle
gateway/src/stdb/subscriptions.rs, gateway/src/main.rs, gateway/src/stdb/connection.rs, gateway/src/stdb/subscriptions_character_gone_durable_tests.rs
Deletion callbacks, startup, and reconnects schedule a coalescing worker. Tests cover transfers, deletion, retries, and mirror state.

Coordinator subscriptions and realm loot operations preserve random-property identifiers through the updated operation paths.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d94bc

Deleted-character party cleanup now reconciles authority and shard mirrors with retry-aware failure handling, while loot relay preserves random-property data. The previously identified correctness and coverage gaps are addressed, with no active merge-blocking risk remaining.

Move this test module below mod tests { to keep the source tripwires honest.

scanned_source at the bottom of this file computes the "non-test half" with src.split("mod tests {").next(). This module is named character_gone_durable_tests and sits above that split point, so its body is now included in the scanned text. A tripwire needle can then be satisfied by a string inside this test module instead of by production wiring, which is the exact failure mode the scanned_source doc comment describes.

Place this module after the existing mod tests {, or nest it inside that module.

Addressed all three findings in d6cfa37:

  • preserves the primary fresh-subscription error when teardown also fails;
  • moves the private durable test source below the production scan boundary;
  • delegates roster construction to the existing accessor after a scoped health check.

Focused tests, strict all-target Gateway clippy, and full formatting pass on the rebased head.

Record random_property_id in realm_loot_ops.

loot::promote_one passes PendingLootRoll::random_property_id to WorldStore::realm_loot_op, but InMemoryStore::realm_loot_op drops it before recording. Every realm-loot relay test uses random_property_id: 0, so a regression that always passes 0 remains green. Add the field to the recorder tuple, its documentation, and the promotion assertions. Use a non-zero fixture value.

Fixed the full-review loot recorder finding in ed4171d. The in-memory Realm recorder now retains random_property_id, and the promotion fixture uses 0x12345678.

The focused test failed before the production relay was changed, showing recorded 0 against the nonzero expectation. The existing relay already forwarded the field; after the recorder fix, all seven Realm loot relay tests pass. Formatting and diff checks pass.

644-644: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

One unhealthy Shard aborts reconciliation and discards the failures already recorded.

Line 644 propagates with ?. Every other failure in this function is tolerated: Line 633 counts a per-character cleanup failure and continues, and Line 647 does the same for a mirror failure. shard.party_group_ids() is health-gated on Coordinator, so one Shard with an unhealthy subscription returns Err here and returns immediately.

Two consequences follow. First, failures and last_error accumulated from the character loop at Lines 632-640 are discarded, so the returned error does not report the cleanup attempts that were already deferred. Second, the mirror pass at Lines 646-652 does not run at all, so groups whose ids came from realm-core and from the healthy Shards are not repaired in this cycle.

The worker retries, so this is self-healing rather than a stuck state. Accumulate the read failure like the other two loops so a single unhealthy Shard does not cancel the work that can still be done.

♻️ Proposed fix
     let mut group_ids: std::collections::HashSet<u64> =
         realm.party_group_ids()?.into_iter().collect();
     for shard in store.world_stores() {
-        group_ids.extend(shard.party_group_ids()?);
+        match shard.party_group_ids() {
+            Ok(ids) => group_ids.extend(ids),
+            Err(error) => {
+                failures += 1;
+                log::warn!(
+                    "party: could not enumerate mirrored groups on shard {} ({error:#}); retrying",

Addressed the two current-head party cleanup findings in d94bc1d.

  • A failed roster confirmation now logs separately and preserves the Realm-core LEAVE failure as the retry cause.
  • A World Shard mirror-enumeration failure now keeps reconciliation pending while known Realm-core and healthy-Shard groups still receive mirror repair.

The new regressions pass with all 53 party tests. The deleted-Character filter passes 8 tests with its private durable case ignored by the existing toolchain gate. Strict all-target/all-feature Gateway clippy, fmt, and diff-check also pass.
