## Summary `batchTrigger` requests that set a per-item `idempotencyKey` failed with a 500 when the run-store is split across databases: the per-item idempotency lookup errored before any run was created. Batches without per-item keys, single `trigger` idempotency, and batch-level (`idempotency-key` header) idempotency were unaffected. ## Root cause `findRunsByIdempotencyKeys` built its `UNION ALL` of per-key point-lookups with `@trigger.dev/database`'s `Prisma.sql` / `Prisma.join`, then executed it on whichever store client it was handed. On the dedicated run-ops store that client is a *separate* generated Prisma client, and a `Sql` object from a different generated client is not recognized: the bare `$queryRaw(Prisma.join(...))` form dropped the query text entirely (`Argument \`query\` is missing`). The tagged-template form is no better here: joining nested `Prisma.sql` fragments across the two clients mis-numbers the bound parameters (`syntax error at or near "$1"`). ## Fix Build the lookup as a plain parameterized string and run it via `$queryRawUnsafe` with positional placeholders and bound values, so it no longer depends on which generated client executes it. The query text contains only static SQL and integer placeholders; every value (`runtimeEnvironmentId`, `taskIdentifier`, each key) is bound, so it is not a raw-interpolation site. Same per-key point-lookup shape as before, no change on the single-client path. Verified end-to-end against a bundled build with the run-store split enabled: before the fix, `batchTrigger` with a per-item key 500s; after, it returns the runs and dedups correctly across fresh, repeat, and mixed batches.
Server Changes
This directory tracks changes to server-only components (webapp, supervisor, etc.) that are not captured by changesets. Changesets only track published npm packages — server changes would otherwise go undocumented.
When to add a file
Server-only PRs: If your PR only changes apps/webapp/, apps/supervisor/, or other server components (and does NOT change anything in packages/), add a .server-changes/ file.
Mixed PRs (both packages and server): Just add a changeset as usual. No .server-changes/ file needed — the changeset covers it.
Package-only PRs: Just add a changeset as usual.
File format
Create a markdown file with a descriptive name:

Description
The body text (below the frontmatter) is a one-line description of the change. Keep it concise — it will appear in release notes.
Writing guidance
These entries are public-facing - they ship verbatim in user-visible release notes. A few rules to keep them clean:
- Write for the user, not the reviewer. Lead with what the user notices or has to do. If a reader who doesn't know the codebase can't tell what changed for them, rewrite it.
- One sentence is usually enough. The body is the bullet in the changelog. If you need a paragraph, you're probably describing the implementation rather than the change.
- Describe behavior, not implementation. Skip internal scopes, middleware names, library specifics, framework internals. Users care about what's different for them, not how it's wired.
- Never name internal tools or infra. Observability stacks, internal services, infra components, monitoring backends, CI surfaces, AWS specifics - none of these belong in user-facing notes.
Before / after:
- ❌ "The image verification step now parses the manifest's layer media types and returns a new result the finalizer rejects." (describes the wiring; a user can't act on it)
- ✅ "Deploying with an outdated CLI could produce an image that fails to start on every run. These deploys are now stopped before going live, with a message asking you to upgrade the CLI and re-deploy." (what the user sees and does)
Lifecycle
- Engineer adds a
.server-changes/file in their PR - Files accumulate on
mainas PRs merge - The changeset release PR includes these in its summary
- After the release merges, CI cleans up the consumed files
