feat(media): write generated media through the asset pool under server-backed persistence (#1392)

2026-09-11 11:38:08 +00:00 - feat(media): store generated media in the asset pool when persistence is server-backed
With server-backed persistence the document is durable and shared, but
generated media stayed in the producing browser: the document kept its
gen_img_* / gen_vid_* placeholder and narration kept a browser-derived audio
id. Every new browser that opened such a course re-ran generation for every
slide, and it never converged, because the address of the generated bytes was
never written back into the document.Under server-backed persistence only, the classic generation chain now stores
bytes in the asset pool first and writes the id the pool allocated into the
document.- The client bootstrap configures the asset seam alongside the document and
runtime seams: an HttpAssetStore over the persistence endpoint carrying the
same credentials the document store carries, marked server-backed. The seam
preflight now covers all three, so a failure still cannot half-configure
persistence. - Image, video and TTS generation commit in one fixed order: provider, pool,
document, local cache, task. A reference reaches the document only after put
returned an id, so a document can never name bytes that were not stored. A
failure before the write-back leaves the placeholder with the provider called
exactly once; the retry happens on the next owner load. - The write-back is a per-slot rewrite through mutateDocument, which re-reads
the current document under the per-stage lock, so it cannot clobber a newer
scene. The open course is refreshed with the same rewrite without being
marked dirty. - "Has this already been generated?" is answered by the document (the slide
exists and no longer holds the placeholder) instead of by this browser's task
table. - The classroom's resume effect fails closed on ownership: only a resolved
owner starts generation, so a viewer opening a shared course spends nothing. - The local media and audio tables become a per-tab cache. A failed cache write
costs a re-download, never the media.
Browser-only mode is unchanged: every new call site sits behind the
server-backed gate, the local tables stay authoritative there, and placeholders
stay in the document.Rendering and export needed no changes. HttpAssetStore.resolve mints an object
URL exactly as the browser store does, and the export byte resolver was already
pool-first.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(classroom): make the generation owner gate a three-outcome rule and apply it everywhere
The gate refused everything but a resolved owner, which read a sidecar that
answered "no ownership fact exists for this course" as a reason to block. That
is the answer a deployment without the sidecar's server-side prerequisites
gives for every course, and the answer a course with no ownership record gives:
in both, there is nobody the operator's budget needs protecting from, and
refusing strands the course's own author behind a question that can never be
answered.Ownership is now four states over the sidecar's three outcomes. A definite
answer splits into owner and not-owner. An absent record is its own answer,
ownerless, and generation proceeds — the behaviour such a deployment had before
the gate existed. Only the absence of an answer, a transport failure or a load
that has not asked yet, stays unresolved and fails closed: "we could not ask"
must never be read as "nobody owns this". One mapper turns a sidecar result
into that state, and one predicate decides on it.The workbench classroom pane runs the same resume effect and had no ownership
input at all, so a viewer opening a shared course there could still spend the
budget. It now asks the sidecar once per course, in parallel with its load and
feeding only the generation gate, so its read-only and edit behaviour is
unchanged. The shared progressive-load policy carries the gate for it, with
both new inputs required rather than defaulted so a future caller cannot omit
them into an open budget. Its stale comment claiming ownership could not be
expressed here is corrected.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): make the write-back survive autosave, arrive before the scene does, and never leak
Independent reviews of the write-back found three ways a durable document could
still end up naming a placeholder, and two ways the gate that protects the
operator's budget could be walked around.An autosave round captures the store synchronously and writes that capture, so
a round already in flight when a rewrite landed wrote the placeholder straight
back over the allocated id, and nothing marked the store dirty again to correct
it. The rewrite now marks the units it changed, which leaves a corrective flush
queued behind the stale one; re-saving a scene that already holds the id is
idempotent, losing the id is not.Media is generated from outlines in parallel with scene content and usually
finishes first, so the slide that will carry the placeholder does not exist yet
and the write-back has nothing to rewrite. That was the ordinary path, not a
tail case, and its result was discarded: the task was marked done, the scene was
added afterwards with its placeholder intact, and a second pass in the same run
could call the provider again. The allocation is now held under the placeholder
— which also answers the skip test, so nothing pays twice — and applied when
that scene is committed, before its first save. One complete pass now leaves no
placeholder behind.A failed commit used to abandon what it had already allocated. A poster upload
that failed threw away a stored video and sent the retry to submit the most
expensive job in the system again; a rejected write-back left registry rows that
name bytes nothing references, which the byte collector cannot reclaim because
it only collects blobs no row names. A poster failure now costs the poster, and
a write-back that reached nothing reclaims what it allocated. A partial write is
left alone, because the document already names it.The ownership gate is fail-closed again. Treating the sidecar's 404 as
permission was wrong: the client cannot tell "this course has no owner" from
"this deployment told me nothing", so a visitor who opened a shared course could
bill the operator. The root cause was the sidecar itself, which gated on the
agent runtime although every persisted course has an owner regardless — the
persistence route resolves one for every request. It now gates on server
persistence, so the configuration that made 404 the universal answer has real
ownership facts to report, and the gate can refuse everything but a named owner.Retry affordances answered to no gate at all. A viewer of a shared course with
one failed image was shown a Retry button that called the provider. Both retry
entry points and every surface that draws them now read one shared permission,
so what is offered and what is allowed are the same value.Also: narration regeneration no longer pretends it can replace bytes behind a
live id — the exclusivity proof that would allow it is refused by construction
once references leave the browser, so it forks to a fresh id and says so; the
"already generated" test lets a finished deck answer from the document alone,
since scene order stops identifying an outline once slides are inserted or
deleted; stored assets record a specific media type rather than a generic
transfer type; the pane no longer asks the sidecar in browser-only mode; and the
funnel's docstring now states what the per-stage lock actually guarantees, which
is same-browser serialization and not a cross-browser compare-and-swap.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): park allocations in the deciding turn, never reclaim on an ambiguous write
A delta review of the write-back found the first-pass fix still had a window,
and the reclamation it added could delete media the document already names.The allocation was parked after an awaited local cache write. A scene committed
in that window reconciled against a registry that did not hold it yet, so the
document kept the placeholder — and the entry recorded a moment later then
answered the skip test as "already handled", so nothing could correct it. Parking
now happens inside the write-back, in the same synchronous turn as the decision
that nothing could take the reference; no await separates the live check from the
park. Allocations parked by an earlier pass are handed to their slides at the
start of the next one, before anything decides what still needs generating, so a
held allocation whose scene has since arrived becomes a rewrite rather than an
answer.Reclaiming on a rejected write was unsound: a rejection does not prove the server
did not apply the write, so deleting the asset could break the scene that now
names it. The funnel decides instead, and says so: it reclaims only when no store
write was ever issued and nothing took the reference. Anything else is placed if
its slide exists and parked if it does not, so the next pass reuses the bytes
instead of paying for them again. When a write fails after part of it landed, the
live store is brought up to the document before the error is rethrown — otherwise
the next ordinary flush would overwrite the half that did land, with the ids
deliberately not reclaimed.Parked allocations are now cleared with the course. Classic placeholders are
reused across runs, so one surviving an interrupted run would be handed to a
different slide of the next deck: the previous picture, on a slide whose provider
was never asked. Both classroom surfaces clear the arriving course, the deletion
cascade clears the deleted one, and clearing the database clears them all.Two more ways generation could start without asking the gate are closed. An
overlapping pass — an outline retry re-enters generation with every outline while
the first is still working — re-requested elements whose provider call was
already in flight; a task that is not done is an answered request, not an
unanswered one. And narration regeneration in the timeline editor called the TTS
provider and allocated a pool asset with no ownership check at all; it now reads
the same permission, which withholds both the per-line and whole-timeline
controls and refuses the call.Finally, a pane opened during the stage-link availability gap recorded the
sidecar's 404 for a course that was moments from existing and never asked again,
leaving the real owner locked out of generation until it remounted. Ownership is
re-fetched once the document becomes available; the gate stays closed until an
answer arrives, so asking again can only open it for someone entitled to it.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): make the asset routes reachable, and stale snapshots harmless
A full-branch audit found that the deployment this project documents could not
store a single generated asset, and that several routes into durable storage
could still write a placeholder over a reference that had already landed.The persistence route sent asset requests through the development
authenticator, which refuses outright in a production build that has not
explicitly opted into it — and the documented server-persistence recipe
produces exactly that build. Every store and every read answered 401, so images
and video failed on every slide while re-billing the provider on each retry, and
a narration failure stopped the deck at its first slide. Assets live in one
shared partition by design, so there was never anything per-caller for that
authenticator to decide: the route now resolves the asset principal itself,
alongside the owner it already resolves for documents. Runtime sessions are
genuinely per-learner and keep the development authenticator until real session
verification replaces it. And narration that cannot be stored no longer fails
its scene: the line stays unvoiced and retryable, which is what an image that
cannot be stored does to its slide.Placeholders could also come back from behind. A queued autosave's snapshot, an
editor-history entry replayed by an undo, the departing save a course switch
flushes — each captures content at its own moment, and any of those moments can
predate a write-back. Point fixes at each producer would leave the next producer
to rediscover the bug, so the check lives at the write boundary every producer
passes through, and the allocation record it consults now outlives the parked
queue: a placeholder whose rewrite landed long ago is exactly the case it
catches.Two ways generation could be lost or repeated are closed. A pass now claims the
elements it will reach and releases them however it ends, so an overlapping pass
stands down while an aborted one strands nothing — previously its tasks stayed
pendingand every later pass skipped them with no retry control to recover
them. And the media abort controller is aborted before being replaced, so a
superseded pass stops calling providers instead of running on for a course the
user has left.The remaining two are narrower. The workbench pane asks for ownership only after
a document load succeeds, and after every later one, mirroring the page route:
the load is what creates the ownership row the first time a course is opened, so
asking beforehand asked about a course that did not exist yet and locked its
author out for the mount. And the ownership gate on the timeline editor now
withholds narration regeneration alone; listening back to existing narration and
seeing whether a line has any spend nothing and stay available.Known limitation, unchanged and now stated plainly in the comments that used to
point at it as a solution: nothing reclaims an unreferenced pool asset. The
registry sweep is written but not wired up, and the byte collector only reclaims
blobs no registry row names, so every narration regeneration and every abandoned
allocation leaves storage behind.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): gate asset mutations, and make claims and allocation records survive a handoff
Opening the asset routes opened all of them. Reads and allocations are meant to
be as open as document reads and creates already are, but no authorization hook
was supplied, so the handler's default admitted PUT and DELETE too — and those
scope by principal key alone, which is one shared constant. Any caller who
learned an id, and a document read hands out every id its slides name, could
overwrite or destroy another author's media. Mutations now require the
deployment's credential, which in a production build without the development-auth
opt-in means they are refused outright; reads and allocations stay open. The
route comment says what the posture is and what it is not: the deployment-level
fence is the access code, and no per-principal quota is configured. The client's
own reclaim is best effort to match — losing an argument about deleting an asset
must not cost a task its retry, and the bytes are left for server-side
reclamation.The pass claim could not survive the handoff it was written for. A retry aborts
the live media pass and starts its replacement in the same synchronous block,
long before the aborted pass's cleanup runs, so the replacement saw every element
still claimed, collected nothing, and returned — leaving each unreached element
at pending with nobody coming back for it and no retry control to recover it,
which is the exact failure the claim was introduced to prevent. A claim now
carries its pass's signal and is retired the moment that signal aborts, and a
pass releases only claims it still owns, so a late unwind cannot take its
replacement's work. Claims are also acquired at the single point every request
passes through, so a single-task retry participates too — previously a retry
awaiting its provider was invisible to a pass starting alongside it and both
called it.The allocation record could outlive the bytes it named. It was written before the
write-back attempted anything and survived the reclaim that followed a failure,
so when the slide finally arrived the write boundary stamped a deleted id into
the document — and the placeholder it replaced was gone, which reads as already
generated and stops anything from retrying. The record is now written only where
the allocation is retained, and forgotten wherever a reclaim removes the bytes,
including the narration rollback path.The tests follow. The route test drives the real storage handler against an
in-memory registry instead of a stub, so it can see what the resolved principal
is then allowed to do; the handoff test performs a real abort mid-pass rather
than starting from an already-aborted signal; and the guards that could only
assert file layout now assert the property they care about, or have been replaced
by behaviour.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): make media passes serial per course instead of tracking element ownership
Three rounds of per-element claims each produced a new way to lose an element.
Whole-pass reservations swallowed a Retry for an element the same pass had
already failed, leaving it pending with the affordance gone. Retiring a claim by
its signal freed an element whose commit was still uploading, so the replacement
pass paid for it twice. A claim held for a failed element stranded its retry. The
bookkeeping is the defect: every refinement of "who owns this element right now"
answered the question at a moment when the answer was already stale.Passes for one course are now serial. A replacement aborts its predecessor, as
before, and then waits for it to settle before collecting. That removes the
question entirely: a commit already under way finishes — its bytes stored and its
reference written, so the new pass sees a resolved slide and skips it — and an
element the aborted pass never reached is still a placeholder and gets collected
like any other. The claim set, the reservations, the signal retirement and the
identity-checked release are all gone.The task table is consulted for one thing only: an element that is generating
right now is a single-element retry running alongside the pass, and taking it too
would pay twice. Pending is deliberately not a skip reason — it means a pass once
intended to reach an element, which an abandoned pass leaves behind with nobody
acting on it, and reading that as answered is what stranded elements before. A
retry runs concurrently with a pass, because a pass never revisits an element it
has processed, and it re-reads the task after its own await and refuses before
touching it: marking first and refusing afterwards destroyed the failed state
that draws the affordance.Browser-only mode is back to exactly what it was. The abort is now conditional,
the waiting does not apply, and the original status-based skip is restored
verbatim. Two baseline lines remain changed in each of the two files, and both
are behind a server-backed fork whose else-branch is the original.Two smaller things. The allocation record becomes visible when a write goes on
the wire rather than when the round trip ends, and the write boundary reconciles
under the document lock rather than before it — a save queued during a write-back
was otherwise captured with the placeholder and, for a course the user had left,
had no corrective flush to follow. And the comments that said a refused reclaim
leaves its bytes for server-side reclamation were wrong: nothing collects them,
because the registry entry still names its blob and the sweep that would remove
it is not wired up. They now say the bytes leak.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): make a deferred pass re-earn its right to run, and bound the commit it waits on
Serializing passes moved their body out of the block that launched them, and
three things followed from that.A pass now wakes when its predecessor settles, which can be after the user has
left the course. It enqueued before it looked at its signal, into a task table
keyed by element id alone — and placeholder ids are not unique across courses,
which is why the classroom clears that table on arrival. So a departing course's
pass seeded the arriving course's table with tasks carrying the wrong stage id,
and a Retry routes by that id: the reference went into the wrong document. A pass
now re-validates after the wait, before touching anything shared.The same lateness broke the skip test.
documentSkipIndexanswers only while the
live store is on the pass's stage, and returning nothing put the collection loop
on the browser-only rule — a silent demotion from "the document is the authority"
to "this browser's task table is", on exactly the path where that table has just
been cleared. Every element the predecessor had committed was collected again,
paid for again, and its second write-back found no placeholder to rewrite, so its
bytes were parked where nothing will ever reference them. In server-backed mode
an unreadable document now means the pass stands down.And waiting was unbounded. A commit is uncancellable: the asset client takes no
signal, and a document write cannot be half-undone. One stalled upload therefore
froze the course's media generation for the session — the replacement never
collected, the element sat on a skeleton that draws no Retry, and only a reload
recovered. The pass's signal is now threaded into the media proxy fetch, and the
commit is bounded by a deadline. The deadline is on the wait, not the work: the
commit carries on, and if it lands late the document simply ends up correct,
while the element becomes retryable and the queue moves on.The tests that were meant to pin the previous round were not sensitive to it.
Two asserted end states where the mechanism only changes ordering, and one of
them rigged the document read so the assertion held whether or not the pass had
waited; a third covered half of what it claimed. They now observe the ordering
directly — nothing is issued while another pass for the course is working; in
browser-only mode a second pass reaches its provider immediately — and the
reconciliation under the document lock has a test that fails when it moves back
outside it.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- revert(media): drop the commit deadline and the abortable download
The deadline bought less than it cost. Abandoning a commit after two minutes
makes the element retryable while the real commit is still running, so a Retry
starts a second commit for the same placeholder against the first: two provider
calls, two allocations, and whichever lands second stamps its result over the
other's task by element id. The allocation record is keyed by placeholder, so the
loser's cleanup erases the winner's record, and the write boundary then puts the
raw placeholder back into the document. That is the overlap serial passes were
built to remove, reopened through the one door serialization never covered.So a stalled commit holds the course's media queue until it settles or the page
is reloaded, and that is written down rather than papered over. The wait is
unbounded on purpose: every ceiling on it turns out to be a way of running two
commits for one element.Threading the pass signal into the download was also a mistake, in the other
direction. The provider call that produced the URL has already been billed, so
cancelling the download throws away work that is paid for — and the shared proxy
cache records a cancelled request as a transient failure against that URL, which
after three of them blocks it for every consumer in the session. Browser-only
mode never asked for this: it had no way to observe an abort there, which is
exactly why the bytes were kept. The signal is gone from the download again, and
fetchAsBlobis byte-for-byte what it was before this branch.The regression guard for the stranded-element rule is restored alongside the
timing test that was meant to supersede it. It catches a different rule — a task
left pending being read as answered — and nothing else does: making the pass skip
pending leaves every other suite green.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): stop asking the pool for refs it never issued, bound it, and adopt cached bytes
Four things a deployment found once this was running for real.
A reference this application mints itself — a generation placeholder, a derived
narration key — was never in the pool, because the pool allocates every id it
holds. Asking anyway used to be an IndexedDB miss; once the pool is server-backed
it is a request that answers 404, one per element per load, forever on a course
that still holds placeholders. Every lease and probe now checks first. The check
is a negative test on shapes this application owns, not an id validator: the
pool's id domain stays unconstrained, and anything that is not one of ours is
still asked about.The asset store can bound how much one principal holds, and enforces it inside
the write transaction, but nothing ever passed the number. It does now, with a
default rather than an opt-in: allocation is reachable by any caller a
deployment admits, and with one shared principal an unbounded store is
unbounded database growth with no operator-visible brake.Refusing asset mutations to unauthenticated callers was not enough, because
every authenticated caller resolves to that same shared principal — so
authentication decided nothing, and any signed-in visitor could delete any id
they learned. Since this branch began storing media the registry is the only
copy a course has. Replacing and deleting are now refused to everyone, and the
browser no longer tries: an entry nothing references waits for server-side
reclamation instead. What a browser must still do is forget its own record of an
allocation that reached nothing, or a later save would stamp an id the document
has no reason to trust.And a course generated before any of this holds placeholders in its document
with its bytes only in the author's browser. Those bytes are paid for, so the
author's next load converts them — stored to the pool and written back through
the ordinary commit path, with no provider call — instead of buying them again.
A row that records only a hosted URL is treated as absent: that URL is the
provider's address, not something a document may hold.One renderer expectation moved with this. An untracked placeholder used to paint
as pending on first render because asking the pool left a lease in flight; it
settled to disabled a moment later either way, and now says so from the start.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): surface a full store as a refusal and convert legacy narration
A quota refusal reached the browser as HTTP 500 with a generic message, which
reads as a transient failure: the element kept a Retry that would pay a
provider again and be refused again. The store raises the contract's own error
and the handler maps it to 507, but the store answering a request is not always
built by the same bundle as the handler -- the persistence provider is reached
from the route bundle and from instrumentation, which is why its state lives on
a Symbol.for global -- andinstanceofis false across that boundary while the
declared code is still right. Classify on the code as well as the class, and
make the code a permanent, persisted refusal in the browser: recorded locally so
it survives a reload, shown as "storage is full", and refused by the retry entry
point so a stale button cannot buy a second generation. Every other storage
failure stays retryable.Convert what a pre-server-backed course still holds. Generated media is adopted
under either key this application has used for it -- the placeholder, and the
allocated id of a course converted once and later rolled back -- instead of only
the first. Narration is converted by a load-time pass over the open course's
speech actions, since nothing re-enters generation for an action that already
has an id: bytes to the pool, id written back through a funnel that mirrors the
media one, owner-only and server-backed-only. A line whose bytes are in no
browser is left alone rather than re-synthesized.Also: the pool guard is now a positive
ast_test rather than an enumeration of
the shapes we mint (imports never reach the pool, so this is safe in both
modes); the slide ref collection is an exported pure function so its four lease
sites are covered behaviourally; ASSET_QUOTA_BYTES treats every spelling of zero
as opting out and refuses a malformed value at startup instead of falling back;
the abort signal is re-checked after the cache read, before an uncancellable
commit; and the unusedremoveAssetand poolreplacesurfaces are gone.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- chore(storage): release 0.29.1
The asset HTTP handler now recognises a store refusal by the contract code it
declares as well as by its class, so a quota refusal raised in another module

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): make a full store recoverable and adoption course-safe
Narration adoption read the local audio row by its derived key alone. That key
carries no stage id and the table is keyed by id alone, so two courses can mint
the same one -- a PPTX import numbers its scenes and actions deterministically,
which gives every imported deck's first slidetts_s1_speech-scene-p1. Locally
a collision only means one course plays another's clip in one browser; adopting
it wrote that clip into the shared document permanently, for every device and
every visitor. A row that names a course is now adopted only into that course,
and a row from before that column existed only when the text it recorded is the
text of the action being converted.A full asset store was made permanent last round, which was wrong three times
over: it overwrote the refused bytes with an empty blob -- on the conversion
path that row is a course's only copy of its own media -- it kept sending the
rest of the deck to a provider against a ceiling it already knew was reached,
and it left no way back once an operator raised that ceiling. A full store is
neither the content's fault nor the configuration's, so it is now its own case:
the bytes are kept, the pass stops at the first refusal, and the element shows
the reason together with a Retry that re-attempts the upload from those bytes.
Nothing retries automatically, so no one is re-billed.The narration write-back now reaches the write boundary every producer of a
durable write passes through, not only the dirty mark: adoption never deletes
the derived row, so a snapshot that reverts the rewrite is adopted again on the
next load and allocates a fresh asset every time. Adoption is also mounted by
both classroom surfaces rather than one, takes the course's abort signal, and
re-validates that this browser still has the course open before each write.ASSET_QUOTA_BYTES is validated from instrumentation, where the README and the
docstring already claimed it was: its only other consumer is lazy and memoised,
so a malformed ceiling let the process boot and then failed every persistence
request, documents and runtime included.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): remember a full store per course, and never lose retained bytes
A stopped pass left the elements it never reached as placeholders with no
persisted record -- deliberately, since nothing was attempted for them. But
that left the next load with no reason not to try: it called a provider for the
next placeholder and was refused at exactly the same point, once per reload,
indefinitely. A full store is not a property of any slide. It belongs to the
deployment and changes for reasons the document knows nothing about, so it is
now remembered once per course in the browser's device KV. A pass that finds
the marker stands down before spending anything and leaves every placeholder
its "storage is full" state and its Retry; the first upload that succeeds
clears it and the next pass runs normally.Narration adoption latched per course so it runs once per load, and the latch
outlived the abort that leaving a course performs. On a surface that stays
mounted across switches -- the workbench pane is one component for every course
it shows -- owner course A, visitor course B, then back to A skipped exactly
the clips the abort had cut off, and nothing else converts them. The latch is
released with the abort now, and a course adopts one run at a time so a
re-entry cannot hand a clip a second allocation while the previous run's
uncancellable tail is still settling.A quota-blocked element retried into a network error or a 500 lost the bytes
that were kept for it: the retry deleted the row before attempting the upload
and wrote no replacement for an error carrying no structured code, so the next
retry went back to a provider for media this browser had a moment earlier. The
row now survives until an upload succeeds, the failure handler keeps whatever
bytes the attempt was given, and the retry asks the question a pass asks --
does this browser already hold bytes for this element -- rather than reading an
error code that a second failure has already overwritten.Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 noreply@anthropic.com
Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XypYpLBtk8DB5nT5jyqZ5D- fix(media): adopt real legacy narration, queue re-entries, report attempt outcomes
Narration adoption admitted a stage-less row only when the text it recorded
matched the action being converted. Both of those columns were added to the
local audio table by the very change that moved narration onto allocated ids,
so a row still carrying a derived key has neither: the rule refused every real
pre-allocation course and passed only on fixtures built from post-allocation
rows. What the row cannot say, the key can. A derived key names two clips only
when two courses share a scene order and an action id, and an action id repeats
only when something other than the generator minted it -- an import numbers
them by slide position. So a key built from a generated action id is adopted on
that basis, a key an import could have reproduced still needs matching text,
and a row that names another course is refused however unique its key looks.Handing a re-entering caller the adoption run already in flight undid the latch
release it was paired with: that run is bound to the signal the departure just
aborted, so it stops at its next clip while the caller -- which has the course
open and a live signal -- is told the work is done, and an effect replayed as
mount, cleanup, mount adopts nothing at all. A later caller now waits for the
uncancellable tail and scans again, which costs a lookup on a course that has
nothing left and finishes the clips the abort cut off on one that does.One attempt at an element now reports both facts its callers need instead of a
bare boolean: whether the store refused it for room, and whether bytes actually
reached the store. Leaving a course clears the task table, so a retry that
landed afterwards read "no failed task" as success and deleted the row holding
the only copy of the media. Nothing is inferred from that table any more.Reading the localStorage property can throw where storage is denied by policy,
typeof included, so the availability check moved inside the guard: this metadata
is best-effort, and a rejection here strands a generation pass that has already
enqueued its tasks.A retry is never blocked by the per-course "store is full" marker, but a retry
that is refused again re-sets it, and adoption now reads and writes the same
marker rather than issuing one refused upload per clip on every load. The two
canvas element renderers and both thumbnail renderers show the reason beside
the Retry, so a full store does not look like an ordinary failure.Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 noreply@anthropic.com
- fix(media): probe a full store instead of standing down, and pair notices with a Retry
Narration adoption was given both halves of the per-course "the store is full"
marker last round: it stood down when the marker was set, and it set the marker
when its own upload was refused for room. Those halves are only safe together
if something can lift the marker, and for adoption nothing could. It has no
affordance of its own, it stood down before reaching its own clear, the media
pass returns before its marker gate when there is nothing to generate -- so a
narration-only deck, or one whose slides are already satisfied, painted no
storage-full element and offered no Retry -- and narration generated rather
than adopted allocates directly rather than through the media commit. The
course's cached narration was then lost for good, where before it converted on
the first load after the ceiling was raised.The gate is a probe now. A marked course attempts exactly one clip per load:
refused, it stops and the marker stands, which costs what standing down cost;
stored, it lifts the marker and finishes the course. Adoption spends no
provider money, so the whole cost of probing a store that is still full is one
refused upload. Generated narration lifts the marker too.The three surfaces that gained a failure notice last round drew it for any
failure with a reason, including the one refusal that is reachable without
server-backed persistence, so a browser-only deck painted something it had not
painted before. The notice is drawn beside a Retry and nowhere else, which is
what it was added for and what leaves browser-only output unchanged. Both are
now asserted through the render harness the surface matrix already had.A caller arriving while a rescan is queued shares it rather than appending
another. One rescan converts whatever the run in flight left and every later
one would find an allocated id on every action, so a chain bought nothing and
turned a single stalled upload into a course that never adopts again.Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 noreply@anthropic.com
- fix(media): treat a refusal for room as a fact about one clip, not the deck
The asset store checks each write against the headroom it has left, so a store
that refuses a long opening clip can still hold every short clip behind it.
Narration adoption assumed the opposite: it broke the deck at the first refusal
and then re-attempted that same first clip on every later load, because the
document names it first. A deck whose longest clip exceeds current headroom
therefore never converted the clips that would have fit, with no affordance to
recover it -- the state the probe was introduced to remove, reached through a
narrower door.An unmarked load now attempts every clip, skipping the ones that do not fit,
and remembers the condition only if the load ends with clips it still could not
store. A marked load spends its single upload on the smallest clip left rather
than the first one named: that is the clip that answers the question the marker
asks, because if the smallest does not fit nothing does. The media pass keeps
stopping at its first refusal, and for a reason adoption does not share --
every element it attempts costs a provider call.A rescan several callers share took the newest caller's signal, and the newest
caller is not necessarily the one still there: a surface that opened a course
and closed it again would stop work a surface still showing that course was
waiting for, and that surface is latched, so it would never ask again. The
shared run now takes a signal that is aborted only once every caller has left.The comment claiming the shared rescan contains a stalled upload was wrong --
the rescan is chained off the run in flight, so a stalled upload leaves every
caller pending exactly as a chain would. It claims the bounded queue it
actually provides, and the stall is recorded as a limitation.The failed-state containers took their stacking classes unconditionally, so
markup differed in browser-only mode even though nothing moved on screen. Those
classes are applied only when there is a notice to stack, and the tests assert
the exact class attribute rather than a substring.Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 noreply@anthropic.com
- fix(media): stop narration adoption writing the media pass's store-full marker
The marker means "do not call a provider for this course". A path is entitled
to write it only if its own refusal cost a provider call, and narration
adoption's refusals cost nothing: it uploads bytes this browser already holds.
The store also checks each write against the headroom it has left, so a clip
that does not fit says nothing about whether a slide's image would. Adoption
was writing it anyway, and one over-long narration clip was therefore enough to
stand a course's entire image pass down on every later load -- on a store that
had just accepted adoption's other clips. The author could still recover each
element by hand, every load, for ever.Three rounds of narrowing this seam produced a finding each time, so it is
removed rather than narrowed again. Gone: the marker read, the single-clip
probe, the smallest-clip selection, and the up-front read of every row into an
array -- which also retires a sampled-then-stale flag and the retention of a
whole deck's blobs for the length of a run, and returns the loop to streaming
one row at a time.Adoption's rule is now that every load attempts every clip it holds, once; any
failure skips that clip and the load continues. The noise the coupling was
meant to avoid does not arise, because after the first load the clips still
outstanding are exactly the ones that did not fit -- normally none, or one.A successful write still clears the marker, and that is a different kind of
statement: a write that went through is a fact this run established, where a
refusal is an inference about what some other write would cost. For a course
whose media needs nothing, adoption and generated narration are also the only
paths that can establish it.The failure module still documented the deck-wide premise this contradicts. It
now says what is true: the check is per write, and the media pass stops the
deck as a judgement about cost rather than about certainty.Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 noreply@anthropic.com
- fix(media): bound a full store's cost from the store's own arithmetic
Removing the store-full marker from narration adoption removed its bound too,
and the code then asserted the bound was unnecessary. It is, on a store with
room for most of a deck. On the store the whole mechanism exists for -- the
ceiling reached, nothing fitting -- the outstanding set after every load is the
entire deck, so a thirty-clip course posted thirty full blobs on every load,
indefinitely. Each of those is not a cheap refusal: the bytes are uploaded, the
server hashes the whole payload, and only then takes a per-principal lock and
sums every entry that principal owns before saying no.The bound needs no flag, no key and nothing carried between loads. The store
asks whetherused + addedBytesexceeds the ceiling, andusedonly grows
while a run is uploading, so a clip refused for want of room implies every clip
at least that large is refused for the rest of that run. The run keeps the
smallest size it has been refused and skips anything no smaller without
uploading it; a smaller clip is still attempted, because it may fit. A deck the
store refuses entirely now costs one upload per successive size minimum instead
of one per clip, and a deck it has room for costs nothing extra, because
nothing is refused. Only a refusal for room lowers the bar: a dropped
connection says nothing about how much room there is.The deck-wide certainty premise the failure module retracted last round still
stood verbatim at the site that implements the stand-down. Both copies now say
the same thing: the check is per write, and the pass stops the deck as a
judgement about cost rather than about certainty.The comment on adoption's marker clear now names its price. Narration of a few
hundred bytes fits in headroom an image does not, so a proven write can let the
next pass buy one more image that is refused again -- bounded at one, and the
price of the alternative being a course whose media never generates again.Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 noreply@anthropic.com
- docs(media): state the adoption bound exactly, and stop three comments describing the old rule
The comment introducing the in-load bound gave its cost as "at most a handful,
and the first load pays the most". Neither clause is a property of the rule. A
clip is skipped only when something no larger was already refused, so a
fully-refused deck costs one upload per successive size minimum in document
order: one when the clips grow, about ln N for an arbitrary order, and one per
clip when they only shrink -- a long opener followed by terser lines is exactly
that shape. And no load is cheaper than the first, because the bound resets per
run and a refused clip stays outstanding. The comment now says that, and points
at what would make it exactly one for any ordering: the store returning its
remaining headroom in the refusal's existing details channel, which the server
leaves empty today.Two other comments still described the previous rule -- "attempts every clip it
holds, every load" -- one of them twenty lines above the paragraph that
introduces the bound, in the same block. Both now say what the code does.The bound's soundness is worth stating where a maintainer will look for it:
quota is charged at full length with no discount for a duplicate, the sum it is
checked against joins entries to blobs so the collector cannot lower it, the
check takes a per-principal lock before summing, and replace and delete are
refused to every browser. Nothing a run can do makes room appear inside it.One test installed a row implementation and replaced it wholesale a few lines
later, so the first was dead and the survivor dropped the text the first clip's
import-shaped key needs for the ownership rule -- it passed on the coincidence
that the fixture's default text is the action's. Merged into one.Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 noreply@anthropic.com
- fix(media): keep a Retry from re-buying parked media, and state the store seam once
Five findings from an inline review.
The standalone classroom route asked the ownership sidecar once per load and
recorded only stage ownership when that ask failed. Every non-answer fails
closed, so one transient 5xx left the genuine author with no resume, no Retry
affordance and no legacy narration converted for the rest of the load, with
nothing to change it short of a reload. The failure now records the fail-closed
answer explicitly -- an answer an earlier load established must not outlive the
failure that replaced it -- and an unresolved answer is asked for again, a few
times over a few seconds. A real answer, however unwelcome, is final.A Retry could pay a provider for media the pool already held. When the bytes
are stored and only the write-back fails in a way that keeps the allocation, it
is parked and no local row exists, because that row is written only after a
successful write-back. Retry now reads the parked queue exactly as the pass
does and re-attempts the write-back: it re-keys the task done when the document
takes it, leaves the entry parked when the slide still does not exist, and
stays failed and retryable when the document refuses again.Object URLs a parked allocation owns are revoked when the entry is dropped. The
commit path leaves them alone while the entry is parked, because it is then the
only thing holding bytes this tab can render, so a course switch or a stage
deletion was pinning the whole blob for the life of the tab. An entry a slide
has already taken is left alone: the task table is displaying those URLs.The fallback lookup for cached bytes is a stage-scoped scan, and the keyed
lookup misses for every row the commit path writes, so a pass was materializing
and sorting the course's whole media table once per element. One scan per pass
now, built on the first miss. It is sound and not merely cheaper: an element
asks only for its own placeholder, and every row a pass writes carries the
placeholder of the element that wrote it."The store accepted a write, so it is not out of room" was enforced at three
call sites under slightly different conditions, which made it a convention the
next pool write path could silently break. It is stated once, in putAsset, for
the course whose bytes it just stored.Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 noreply@anthropic.com
