fix(shell): Documents.openDocument re-reads a clean document instead of trusting its cache forever - #2085
Conversation
…of trusting its cache forever Documents (the shared editor-tab model behind the Cloud Pipeline Builder, rocket-ui, and every other app built on packages/shell) kept a document's content in memory keyed by URI and, once present, never re-read it from the VFS on a later open -- only its absence triggered a read. A clean (non-dirty) cached entry can go stale relative to the backing store: restored from a persisted session (surviving a hard browser reload), or left behind by a close path that should have evicted it but didn't for some other reason. Reported on cloud.rocketride.ai (rocketride-org#2036): store v1, open it, overwrite the stored file to v2 via the fs API directly, then close+reopen or hard-reload the browser -- the editor kept showing v1. Publishing the same bytes under a NEW filename showed v2 immediately, which is what pointed at a name-keyed cache rather than a propagation delay. openDocument now re-reads whenever the cached document is missing OR clean; only a DIRTY document (genuine unsaved local edits) is trusted as-is, since that's the one case actually worth protecting from being silently overwritten by whatever the store currently holds. A failed re-read falls back to the previously cached content rather than wiping it, so a transient read error can't turn an already-working tab blank. This exposed a second, more subtle bug in the same method: the closing _update() call preferred prev.documents[uri] over the freshly-read content whenever an entry already existed in live state -- correct for the real race it was guarding (a concurrent open finishing first), but wrong here, since the stale entry IS what already exists in live state. Fixed by comparing prev.documents[uri] against a snapshot taken before the read (referential equality): unchanged means safe to apply the fresh read, changed means something else raced ahead and its result should win, matching the original intent. Added Documents.test.ts (none existed) covering: first-time open reads from the VFS; closing the last editor of a clean document evicts it so a later external change is picked up; a document restored from a persisted session with stale content is re-read on open (the direct regression test for rocketride-org#2036); a document with unsaved edits is never clobbered by a concurrent external write; a failed re-read falls back to the last-known-good content. Verified the rocketride-org#2036 regression test fails on the unmodified code and passes with the fix, and confirmed my first attempt at the fix (the dirty check alone, without the snapshot-comparison fix) still failed that same test -- caught before it shipped. Fixes rocketride-org#2036

The clean-document re-read added for rocketride-org#2036 only checked doc.dirty, but two document kinds are always dirty:false by design and were never meant to be re-read from the VFS at all: - static documents (openStaticDocument, e.g. a monitor/webview panel) are explicitly not backed by the VFS -- saveDocument itself skips them -- so there's no store to validate freshness against. - isNew (untitled) documents have never been saved, so there's no store counterpart to re-read either. Reopening either in a second pane (bypassing the "already open in this group" short-circuit) called vfs.read() on a URI that was never a real file, and the reconstructed Document object dropped `static` entirely (never carried over) and could flip `isNew` from true to false if that bogus read didn't happen to throw -- silently turning a static panel into a VFS-backed one, or an unsaved scratch buffer into what looks like a saved file. Guarded the re-read branch on `!doc.static && !doc.isNew` in addition to `!doc.dirty`. Added two regression tests; verified both fail on the unguarded condition (isNew flips to false, static becomes undefined) and pass with the fix.

Addressing the outside-diff-range finding about `static`/`isNew` documents (couldn't reply inline since it wasn't attached to a diff line): confirmed as a real gap in `aa021ec8`. The re-read added for this fix only checked `doc.dirty`, but `static` documents (`openStaticDocument` — monitor/webview panels, explicitly not backed by the VFS; `saveDocument` itself skips them) and `isNew` (untitled, never-saved) documents are also always `dirty: false` by design. Reopening either in a second pane called `vfs.read()` on a URI that was never a real file, and the reconstructed `Document` dropped `static` entirely (never carried over) and could flip `isNew` from `true` to `false` if that read didn't happen to throw — silently turning a static panel into a VFS-backed one, or an unsaved scratch buffer into what looks like a saved file. Guarded the re-read branch on `!doc.static && !doc.isNew` in addition to `!doc.dirty`, and added two regression tests (static panel reopened in another group keeps `static: true` and is never read; untitled document reopened in another group keeps `isNew: true` and is never read). Verified both fail against the unguarded condition first, then pass with the fix. |

…g a new one openDocument's "already open in this group" check runs on a state snapshot taken before the (possibly awaited) VFS read. If that read actually suspends, a second openDocument(uri, sameGroup) call for the identical document -- a rapid double-click, a duplicate effect firing -- can run entirely in the gap and commit its own new editor first. The final _update callback already re-validated document content freshness against a race (comparing prev.documents[uri] to the pre-read snapshot) but never applied the same check to editor existence, so it would blindly add a second, duplicate editor for the same uri in the same group on top of the one the race already created. Re-derive the existing-editor check inside the commit callback, against the latest state, and activate that editor instead of adding a duplicate when one is found. Added a regression test that races two concurrent opens of the same uri into the same group via Promise.all and asserts exactly one editor/tab results. Verified it fails (2 editors) against the unguarded code and passes with the fix.

Fixed in `bd3a24e0` (another outside-diff-range finding, no inline thread to reply to). Confirmed as real: the "already open in this group" check at the top of `openDocument` runs on a state snapshot taken before the VFS read. If that read actually suspends, a second `openDocument(uri, sameGroup)` call for the identical document (rapid double-click, a duplicate effect firing) can run entirely in the gap and commit its own new editor first. The closing `_update` already re-validated the document's freshness against exactly this kind of race (comparing `prev.documents[uri]` to the pre-read snapshot) but never applied the same re-check to editor existence — so it would blindly add a second, duplicate editor/tab for the same uri in the same group on top of the one the race already created. Re-derived the existing-editor check inside the commit callback against the latest state, and activate that editor instead of piling on a duplicate when one's found. Added a test that races two concurrent `openDocument` calls for the same uri into the same group via `Promise.all` and asserts exactly one tab results — verified it fails (2 editors) against the unguarded code and passes with the fix. |

Checked this out and ran it. The new suite passes (10/10 via node --import tsx --test), and it is wired into CI for free — shell:test-run discovers *.test.ts anywhere under src/ (packages/shell/scripts/tasks.js:196-206) and shell:build runs it, so this file will actually gate.
I also re-ran the new suite against develop's Documents.tsx to check the "fails before, passes after" claim. It holds — and two tests fail on the old code, not one:
✖ #2036: a clean document restored from a persisted session is re-read, not trusted forever
✖ two concurrent opens of the same uri into the same group do not create duplicate tabs
So the raced-editor check is fixing a second, genuinely reachable bug (double-click on a sidebar entry opening two tabs for the same document in one pane). That is a good catch, but it is not mentioned in the PR summary — worth calling out explicitly so it lands in review and the changelog rather than reading as incidental refactoring.
The core change is sound. The reconstructed Document loses nothing (the interface is exactly {uri, content, dirty, version, editorCount, isNew, static?}, and static/isNew are excluded from the re-read path); version has no consumers outside Documents.tsx itself, so bumping it is safe; and the current === initialDoc snapshot comparison preserves the original race-safety intent correctly.
Two things to address.
1. The primary repro — hard reload — is still stale after this fix
The fix only runs inside openDocument. A hard browser reload never calls it:
- the constructor restores persisted
documents,editors, andgroupsverbatim, so the tabs come back; GroupEditorPanerendersstate.documents[uri]directly (apps/rocket-ui/src/RocketApp.tsx:312-316);- every
openDocumentcall site is user-driven (sidebar click, rename/move, save-as) — none runs on session restore.
So the F5 path in the issue ("hard-reload the browser ... the editor kept showing v1") still shows v1, because the restored tab renders persisted content and nothing re-reads it. What this PR fixes is the other half of the repro: close all tabs, reopen from the sidebar. That is a real fix and the regression test is right, but the test models exactly that case — makePersistedState returns editors: {} with editorCount: 0, which is not what a reload actually restores.
Either re-read documents that have live editors at restore time (or drop persisted content on restore and let the editors pull fresh), or say plainly in the PR and on #2036 that the reload path is still open. Right now the summary reads as if the whole reported behavior is resolved.
2. The new "discarded mid-read" guard also swallows a plain tab close
const current = prev.documents[uri];
if (initialDoc && !current) return prev;The comment says "discardDocument() is the one caller that does this". It is not — closeEditor also deletes the document entry whenever the last editor closes and the document is clean (Documents.tsx:818-822). That is the same eviction this PR's own second test relies on.
Which makes this interleaving reachable, and it only became reachable because of the new re-read:
a.pipeis open in group-1, clean;- user opens it into a second pane → the re-read suspends inside
vfs.read(); - user closes the group-1 tab →
editorCounthits 0, clean → document evicted; - read resolves →
initialDoc && !current→return prev.
I ran exactly that against this branch:
editors for a.pipe after the interleaving: 0
document present: false
The second open silently does nothing — no tab, no document, no error. Before this PR the same click sequence could not hit it, because a cached clean document was never re-read and openDocument never suspended. Narrow (needs the close to land inside the read window) but user-visible as "I clicked and nothing happened". Distinguishing a genuine discard from an eviction — or just recreating from finalDoc when the removal was an eviction — would close it. At minimum the comment should stop asserting discardDocument is the only remover.
Nits
- Leftover editing artifact in the test header.
Documents.test.ts:36-38reads: "Regression tests for the Cloud Pipeline Builder stale-content bug (#2036):check_connection-- no, this isDocuments.openDocumenttrusting...".check_connectionis from an unrelated node; this is a stray self-correction that should not ship in a file comment. - Dead setup in the failed-read test (
:181-193): it createsdocs, opens the document, grabseditorId, closes it — then abandons all of that and buildsdocs2from a persisted state. The comment concedes as much. Only thedocs2half does any work. versiondoc comment is now slightly off. The field is documented as "bumped on every content change" (Documents.tsx:61), but a reopen now bumps it even when the re-read returns byte-identical content. Harmless today (no external consumers) — worth one word in the comment, or gating the bump on an actual change.
The direction and the reasoning in the new comments are good; it is mainly the reload path I would not want to leave implicitly claimed as fixed.

Summary
Documents(the shared editor-tab model behind the Cloud Pipeline Builder,rocket-ui, and every other app built onpackages/shell) keeps a document's content in memory keyed by URI. Once a document was cached,openDocumentonly re-read from the VFS when the cache entry was missing — a clean (non-dirty) entry was trusted indefinitely, regardless of whether the backing store had since changed underneath it.Reported on cloud.rocketride.ai (#2036): store a pipeline with a "v1" marker, open it, overwrite the stored file to "v2" via the fs API directly (confirmed with a read that the store genuinely holds v2), then hard-reload the browser / close all tabs / reopen from the sidebar — the editor kept showing v1. Publishing the identical v2 bytes under a new filename showed v2 immediately, which is what pointed at a name-keyed cache rather than a propagation delay.
openDocumentnow re-reads whenever the cached document is missing or clean; only a dirty document (genuine unsaved local edits) is trusted as-is — that's the one case actually worth protecting from being silently overwritten._update()call preferredprev.documents[uri]over the freshly-read content whenever an entry already existed in live state. That's correct for the race it was actually guarding (a concurrentopenDocumentfor the same URI finishing first) — but wrong here, since the stale entry is exactly what already exists in live state. Fixed by comparingprev.documents[uri]against a snapshot taken before the read (referential equality): unchanged means the fresh read is safe to apply; changed means something else raced ahead and its result should win, preserving the original race-safety intent.Test plan
Documents.test.ts(none existed for this file) — 5 cases: first-time open reads from the VFS; closing the last editor of a clean document evicts it so a later external change is picked up; a document restored from a persisted session with stale content is re-read on open (the direct regression test for Cloud Pipeline Builder: pipeline content cached by filename, editor never re-reads the project store #2036); a document with unsaved edits is never clobbered by a concurrent external write; a failed re-read falls back to the last-known-good content._updatemerge) still failed that same test — caught before it shipped, not after.npx tsc --noEmitinpackages/shell— same pre-existing unrelated errors as before this change (staledist/typesforpackages/client-typescript, unrelated to this file), none inDocuments.tsx/Documents.test.ts.npx prettier --checkclean on both touched files.Summary by CodeRabbit
