# Migrate storage from SQLite to PostgreSQL — full dashboard cutover
Migrates Fusion's storage layer to the embedded PostgreSQL
`AsyncDataLayer` (the default backend) and **completes the
satellite-store + feature cutover** so every dashboard and Command
Center surface works in PG mode.
## Status — every surface works in embedded-PG mode
Verified live against a running embedded-Postgres dashboard (all
**200**, zero 5xx) and gate-tested (**23 files / 99 tests** on embedded
PG, plus engine-core 294 and ci-shape 63 in the blocking merge gate;
core/engine/cli/dashboard typecheck clean).
| Area | Surfaces | State |
|---|---|---|
| Satellite stores | workflows, todos, insights, research, missions,
goals, mailbox | ✅ |
| Views | artifacts, documents, evals | ✅ |
| Command Center | activity, productivity, team, tokens, tools,
**workflows**, **github**, **signals**, **plugin-activations**, **live**
(all 10) | ✅ |
| Run execution | insight generation, research run execution | ✅
(store-path; AI step needs a provider) |
| Live updates | SSE push for mission/research/insight events | ✅ |
| Workflow editing | create / update / delete / select (+ id counter) |
✅ |
| Engine | mission autopilot, incident-signal ingestion, regression
storm-guard, agent wake-on-message | ✅ |
| Core | tasks, agents, secrets, automations, memory, chat, usage, PRs,
git | ✅ |
## Approach
Each satellite store gets an `Async<Store>` wrapper exposing the sync
store's method names over the existing `async-*-store.ts` helpers;
`get<Store>Store()` returns a `Sync | Async` union; consumers `await`
(harmless on sync), and engine/CLI paths that can't convert use
`instanceof Sync` graceful fallback. Analytics aggregators branch on
`"ping" in dbOrLayer` to run schema-qualified raw SQL over `project.*`
(snake_case) in PG. Executors/orchestrators/autopilot are
await-converted to drive the union store; the async store wrappers
extend `EventEmitter` so SSE live-push fires in both backends.
Not-yet-ported capabilities degrade gracefully (never 500) and are
individually called out in commits.
## Sync with main
The branch is kept continuously merged with `main` (currently through
FN-7845, 2026-07-12); the earlier "final rebase deferred" note no longer
applies. Use **Create a merge commit** (or squash) to land it — GitHub's
rebase-merge cannot replay a merge-maintained branch.
## Residual Review Findings
Multi-agent code review of the PostgreSQL satellite-store ports (U1–U5)
applied 3 safe fixes (see `fix(review): apply autofix feedback`). The
following are **real but gated** — recorded here as follow-up work
rather than auto-applied. All are SQLite→PostgreSQL
**concurrency/atomicity regressions**: the sync stores were immune only
by SQLite's single-writer, single-threaded-handler execution; the async
ports open multi-await read-modify-write windows. **Reachability is low
today** because the execution engines that generate concurrent same-run
mutations (insight run executor, research orchestrator/dispatcher) are
`instanceof`-gated to sync mode in PG. No process-crash class survived
(all engine fallbacks correctly guard the sync store).
- **[P1] Research `appendResearchEvent` dual-write is non-atomic**
(`packages/core/src/async-research-store.ts`, corroborated: adversarial
+ reliability). The `research_run_events` insert (own transaction) and
the `run.events` jsonb update are separate writes — a crash between
them, or two concurrent appends, splits the table count from the jsonb
array. **Fix:** perform the seq-insert and the jsonb update in one
`layer.transactionImmediate`.
- **[P1] Research run terminal-reversion via stale full-row persist**
(`async-research-store.ts` `persistResearchRun`/`updateResearchStatus`).
Concurrent `PATCH /runs/:id/status` + `POST /runs/:id/events` can revert
a terminal run to `running` by overwriting the whole row, bypassing the
transition guard. **Fix:** scoped column `UPDATE`s with a `WHERE status
…` guard, or optimistic version column.
- **[P2] `updateResearchRun`/`updateInsightRun` read-then-write TOCTOU**
— concurrent PATCHes last-writer-wins on the lifecycle merge. **Fix:**
`SELECT … FOR UPDATE` / enclosing transaction.
- **[P2] `upsertRun`/`createRunOrThrowConflict` check-then-create race**
(`async-insight-store.ts`) — two callers can each create an "active"
run. **Fix:** partial unique index on `(projectId, trigger) WHERE status
IN ('pending','running')`.
- **[P3] `createResearchRetryRun` return-value divergence** — sync
returns the pre-update `queued` snapshot; async returns the reloaded
`retry_waiting` run (persisted state is identical). Pick one side for
cross-backend parity.
- **[P2/perf] Mission `getMissionWithHierarchy`/`getMissionHealth` N+1
fan-out** — O(milestones×slices) sequential round-trips hold one pool
slot per request; can starve the pool for large hierarchies. **Fix:**
batched/joined reads.
- **Testing gaps:** no PG-mode concurrency tests (interleaved
status/event mutations), no sync↔async parity assertion for the
lifecycle-error codes, and no mission status/health rollup parity test
vs the sync `MissionStore`.
~~Out of scope (deferred): AI run *execution* (insight/research) +
mission autopilot + live SSE mission events remain sync-gated/degraded
in PG mode.~~ **Since ported** — insight/research run execution, mission
autopilot, and SSE live push all run on the async layer now, which also
makes the concurrency findings above genuinely reachable; they remain
open follow-ups.

## Update — 2026-07-12: production-readiness hardening & live acceptance
Everything below landed on this branch since the description above was
written:
**Production blockers from review — fixed**
- `recoverStaleTransitionPending` ported to the async layer (backend
moves write + clear the crash-safe marker; startup/maintenance sweeps no
longer throw).
- Lost-update class fixed: `atomicWriteTaskJson`/`WithAudit` write
changed columns only (full-row upserts silently resurrected stale fields
across concurrent store instances — the "task stuck unplanned forever"
bug).
- First-boot **auto-migration**: booting the PG backend over a project
with a legacy `fusion.db` migrates it automatically (loud failure,
SQLite kept as backup), and the dashboard shows a one-time **"your data
was migrated" banner** with the backup paths and a Need-help Discord
link.
- `pg_dump`/`pg_restore` discovered from common install locations for
embedded-mode backups.
- The PG suite is part of the blocking merge gate (`test:pg-gate`).
**Multi-project isolation (PR #2007, merged into this branch)**
- `project_id` partition key on tasks / archived tasks / config,
`taskProjectScope` threaded through every scan/claim/count, per-project
config rows, layer bound to the project at startup.
- Review P1 follow-up: the shared cold-storage `archive.archived_tasks`
table is also partitioned and all archived-board reads/counts/searches
are scoped.
- Schema drift self-heal generalized to schema-qualified columns so
existing databases upgrade in place.
**Other changes**
- Node settings sync **removed** in PG mode (409
`settings-sync-disabled-postgres`) — nodes share state by connecting to
the same database; auth sync kept (per-machine file).
- Perf (review findings): `listTasks` pushes column filter + ORDER BY +
LIMIT/OFFSET into SQL; `getConversation` capped to the most recent 200
messages.
- Fixed a false "operator action required" pause-abort log fired on
every successfully auto-merged task.
**Live acceptance — PASSED (2026-07-12)**
A sandboxed instance (isolated HOME, embedded PG, real Opus executor)
ran a task through the complete cycle: create → triage (AI spec) →
execute → in-review → AI squash-merge landed on the project's `main` →
done. A write+read sweep of every data surface (settings, comments,
documents, attachments + artifact bridge + artifact edit, chat with real
generation, goals, missions, agent mail, secrets, workflows, memory, CC
analytics) was green on embedded PG.
**Known remaining work**
- The per-project `config` PK re-key has no upgrade path for
pre-isolation embedded-PG databases (needs a real `DROP
CONSTRAINT`/re-key migration; fresh databases are fine).
- `pg_dump`/`pg_restore` binaries are not yet bundled in release
artifacts (PATH/common-location discovery only).
- The satellite-store concurrency findings listed above.

Code review (8 reviewers) fixes:
- P1: embedded board task-detail now passes onRequestClose so delete/merge/retry dismiss the panel (no ghost task).
- P1: RightDock + TerminalModal drag handlers add pointercancel + unmount teardown (no leaked document listeners / rAF / stuck userSelect); remove dead onOpenChange prop.
- Planning slot DOM-poll interval now caps (self-cancels on mobile); heartbeat slider persist debounced + mounted-guarded.
- Cleanup: remove dead ViewHeader-migration CSS (Skills/Insights), extract shared GithubIcon, move Activity Log embedded CSS to ActivityLogModal.css, FNXC date-format fixes, AGENTS lazy-view note.
- Update stale RightDock roster tests + LeftSidebarNav 'Compound Eng' test to current behavior.
Live UI tweaks:
- Default load lands on board, never the Command Center Dashboard.
- View Board/View Agents moved to the Command Center Overview tab (under the live-activity strip).
- Heartbeat card full-width with spaced, wrapping controls.
- Dev Server panel scrolls in the dock; ChatView right-pane title takes the full line.
- Files pop-out renders deterministic left-right two-pane.
- Mailbox list pane narrower + narrow by default; Add Goal button height matches the Compound stage button; Memory Working-Memory tab no longer overlaps; Skills view fills full width.

Compound Engineering plugin view now renders the dashboard's shared ViewHeader (Sparkles icon + title) so it matches the other main-content views. Expose ViewHeader via the dashboard exports map; resolve it in the plugin via an ambient interop declaration (no host runtime dependency). Tests updated (plugin suite green).

dist-freshness.test.ts reads the plugin's compiled dist/settings.js and
dist/session/orchestrator.js to guard against stale dist (FN-6596), but the
plugin had no pretest build and was missing from ensure-test-artifacts.mjs.
On a fresh CI checkout dist/ does not exist, so the guard threw "dist/ is
missing" — failing the non-blocking Full Suite on every main commit.
Register the plugin's required artifacts in ensure-test-artifacts.mjs and add
a `pretest` hook that builds them, matching the dependency-graph / hermes /
openclaw plugins. Verified locally: with dist/ absent, `pnpm --filter
@fusion-plugin-examples/compound-engineering test` now builds dist via the
pretest and all 192 plugin tests pass (incl. the two dist-freshness cases).

Restore the compound-engineering broad lane tests after the timeout could not be reproduced on the stabilized shared test infrastructure.
- Re-enable the compound-engineering sync and work-bridge tests by clearing their Vitest quarantine excludes.
- Remove the stale quarantine ledger entries now that the broad package lane stayed stable under verification.

Normalize spawned Vitest processes to NODE_ENV=test so React/jsdom lanes do not inherit release-shell production mode. Split the compound-engineering plugin Vitest projects so Node-only setup and teardown only run in Node lanes, and quarantine the remaining broad-lane CE timeout flakes under the deletion ratchet.
