0a362eef15 perf(db,relay): bound thread participant scans and coalesce live summaries (#8635)
## Summary

A thread summary's `participants` (up to 10 recent authors, used for the
facepile) was computed by aggregating **every** reply in the thread. The
live `kind:39005` emit runs that aggregate on the writer after every
reply insert and every threaded delete. Each summary therefore cost
O(thread), recomputed after every reply, so one very large thread could
saturate the writer.

### Scale and impact

A single long-running thread can grow to hundreds of thousands of
replies and take several new replies per second. Each of those replies
then pays a whole-thread aggregate on the writer, so writer CPU follows
the reply rate of the largest active threads, and the read-side
participant queries (channel window, thread root summaries) slow down
the same way.

Synthetic reproduction (PostgreSQL 17, the repo's `schema/schema.sql`,
default `shared_buffers`): one channel with 200k background messages and
three threads of 450k, 6k and 300 replies from a few authors with
~800-byte bodies. `EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)` of the participant query,
warm cache (runs 2–3 of 3):

| Thread | Before (whole-thread aggregate) | After (newest 1000 replies)
|
|---|---|---|
| 450k replies | ~7.6 s, ~117k buffers read, ~16k temp blocks spilled |
~6.8 ms, ~4k buffers |
| 6k replies | ~25 ms, ~24k buffers | ~7 ms, ~4k buffers |
| 300 replies | ~2.6 ms, ~1.2k buffers | ~2.6 ms, ~1.2k buffers |

Cost now stops growing at 1000 replies, and small threads cost the same
as before. With coalescing, a busy thread runs this query at most about
once per second per pod instead of once per reply.

### Change

1. **Bound the participant scan to the newest 1000 replies.** All three
participant readers now share one SQL fragment
(`recent_thread_participants_sql!`):
   - `get_thread_summary` (the live 39005 emit)
   - the channel-window batch
   - `resolve_thread_root_summaries`

The fragment walks `idx_thread_metadata_window` newest-first with `LIMIT
1000`, then joins `events` only for those rows, to get `pubkey` and drop
deleted replies. Deleted replies keep their `thread_metadata` row, so
they count toward the 1000 but contribute no author. It aggregates by
author and returns the 10 most recently active. Cost no longer grows
with thread size. Desktop and mobile show the 3 most recent participants
and the forum view shows up to 10, so an author who hasn't posted in the
last 1000 replies is not visible in any client today. `NIP-CW`,
`docs/bridge-channel-window.md` and the `ThreadSummary::participants`
doc now state the bound, deleted replies included.
2. **Coalesce live summary emits per thread root.**
`emit_live_thread_summary` goes through a new `CoalescedRefresh` keyed
by `(community, root)`:
   - A quiet thread emits immediately, as before.
- On a busy thread, emits are spaced at least 1s apart per pod. A
trailing emit covers the rest of the burst and reads state committed
after its last mutation.
- Because emits are at least 1s apart, consecutive overlays from one pod
always get strictly increasing `created_at`, so the client's newest-wins
replacement is never tied.
- A panicking or cancelled refresh releases its key, including a task
dropped before its first poll: the release guard is built before the
spawn. Each run is bounded by a 30s timeout so a hung refresh can't
wedge it.

### What got simpler

- Three hand-written copies of the participant aggregate are now one
fragment.
- `get_thread_summary` is one statement instead of two round trips.
- The channel-window batch dropped its `ROW_NUMBER()` window function
and the `GROUP BY root, pubkey` over every reply of every root on the
page.

### Related issue

None found.

### Testing

- `participant_summaries_read_only_the_newest_replies` (buzz-db,
Postgres) seeds a thread with 1001 replies:
  - an early author, pushed just outside the window
  - a filler author
  - a deleted reply
  - a latest author

All three readers must return `[latest, filler]`. Mutant check: removing
the `LIMIT` (whole-thread aggregate) turns it red.
- `coalesced_refresh` unit tests (paused tokio clock):
- A 100-request burst runs once immediately and once trailing, then
frees the key.
  - Separate keys run independently.
  - A panicking refresh doesn't wedge its key.
- A hung refresh times out and releases its key. Mutant check: removing
the timeout turns it red.
- A request that arrives while a run is in flight gets one trailing run,
and that run reads the state written mid-run. Mutant check: dropping the
rerun flag turns it red.
- A task dropped before its first poll (runtime shut down) still
releases its key. Mutant check: building the guard inside the task turns
it red.

These run in `just test-unit` (added to the buzz-relay `--lib` filter
and `scripts/run-tests.sh`).
- Blox gate: `cargo fmt --check`, clippy `-D warnings` (buzz-db,
buzz-relay), and the full buzz-db and buzz-relay Postgres nextest lanes.

2d280376ad perf(desktop): persist channel heads, collapse thread reads and reply sends (#6572)
## Summary

Lands the build-now items from the desktop latency plan
(#ui-performance-deep-dive) as one change. Every perceived-latency hot
path a user hits on launch, channel open, thread open, and reply send
drops one or more round trips.

**A1 — persisted channel heads (the big one).** Native WAL SQLite cache
(`desktop/src-tauri/src/channel_head_cache.rs`) keyed by `{pubkey,
relayUrl}` scope, 32 rows/scope LRU, 1 MiB per-row drop cap,
schema-version reset, corrupt-row tolerance, checkpointed on shutdown.
Three blocking-pool commands: `channel_head_cache_load` / `_store` /
`_clear`. On the renderer side, `CommunityQueryProvider` kicks off
hydration of up to 12 heads when it constructs the query client — the
app, splash and relay preconnect mount immediately; only
`useChannelMessagesQuery` awaits the seed (`channelHeadHydration`), then
consumes a one-shot hydrated gate so a hydrated channel pays **zero**
`get_channel_window` calls on mount and exactly **one** on the
post-subscription refresh, whose response replaces page zero wholesale.
That refresh fires whether live-subscription setup succeeds or fails,
and is sequenced behind hydration so it is always a distinct
authoritative fetch (see Review follow-ups). Bounds-only persisted heads
(zero rows) are not hydrated and take the cold loading path. The
timeline loading latch recognizes native-hydrated rows as restart-safe
so they paint immediately instead of holding a skeleton. The cache is a
paint accelerator only — the relay response is always authoritative.
Replaces the legacy localStorage `messageSnapshot.ts` (removed, -401
lines).

Kill switch: `VITE_BUZZ_CHANNEL_HEAD_CACHE=off` at build time or
`localStorage["buzz-channel-head-cache"] = "off"` at runtime. Cache is
cleared on community removal and scoped per identity, so a replaced
signer never sees the previous identity's rows.

**B1 — thread aux in one response.** Relay thread filters accept
`include_aux`; the bridge appends the same authorized two-hop
reactions/edits/deletions closure a channel window gets
(`build_aux_query` shared with the window path). Renderer
`useThreadReplies` drops its two follow-up aux fetches. `next_cursor` is
computed from reply-kind rows only since aux rows are unpaged.
Documented in `docs/bridge-channel-window.md`. Thread queries keep
`staleTime: 0` (`bcfe04e2f`): an earlier revision raised it to 30s,
which CI's `thread-unread.spec.ts` caught — once the user leaves a
channel, the live subscription stops feeding that thread's cache, so a
reopen must always take the (now single) authoritative read.

**B2 — cached root on reply send.** `send_channel_message` gains
`root_event_id`; when the renderer already holds the parent (channel or
thread cache) it passes the NIP-10 root, and native signs without the
relay round trip that `resolve_thread_ref` used to make. Strict hex
parse; `root_event_id` requires `parent_event_id`; absent root falls
back to the existing relay resolution. The renderer never sends a
guessed root.

**B4** general HTTP pool idle 10s→300s, max idle per host 1→2. **B5**
relay preconnect fires as soon as identity is ready instead of waiting
for `requestIdleCallback`. One e2e test (`relay-reconnect.spec.ts`
"service restart close resets accumulated backoff") had been relying on
the idle-callback batching to skip past its own seeded dial failures
before the channel list painted; `8133d70bb` makes it wait for the
connected state instead (test-only, still fails with the 1012 backoff
reset disabled). **B6** profile freshness 60s→10 min (both the in-memory
entry check and the query `staleTime`). Tradeoff: another user's
display-name/avatar edit can take up to 10 min to propagate to a client
that already holds their profile (relay reconnect refetches
`users-batch` but resolves from the still-fresh per-pubkey entry); your
own edits still evict the entry immediately (`evictUsersBatchEntries` in
`useUpdateProfileMutation`).

### Review follow-ups
Addressing Carl's reviews
[5001114109](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/6572#pullrequestreview-5001114109)
and
[5002596542](https://github.com/block/buzz/pull/6572#pullrequestreview-5002596542),
each pushed as new commits (no rebase):

- `4f06b7770` fix(desktop): mount app while channel heads hydrate;
always revalidate — provider no longer gates children on the cache load;
`refreshAfterSubscribe` runs on subscribe failure too; bounds-only heads
skipped at seed; seed merges into an existing window store. +3 tests.
- `35834cb31` fix(relay): drain aux closure hops across the page clamp —
`query_all_pages` walks the `(created_at, id)` keyset via
`until`/`before_id` until a short page (`AUX_PAGE_LIMIT` =
`DEFAULT_MAX_PAGE_LIMIT`, `AUX_MAX_PAGES` = 64 warn+truncate) so
one-shot `limit: 1000` newest-first no longer drops the oldest
edits/deletions. +3 tests; `docs/bridge-channel-window.md` updated.
- `db21b0531` merge of `origin/main` `e23632941` (#6558, #6312 — no
overlap).
- `5a5566c0f` fix(desktop): sequence post-subscribe refresh behind
channel head hydration — `refreshChannelWindowMessages` awaits
`channelHeadHydration()` and, for a hydration-seeded query (`data !==
undefined && dataUpdatedAt === 0`), the in-flight snapshot fetch before
invalidating. Without this, a subscription that settles before the
SQLite load invalidated a data-less in-flight query; TanStack dedupes
that onto the existing fetch (`query-core` `fetch()` only cancels when
`state.data` exists), which returned the seeded snapshot — 0
authoritative fetches. Regression test reproduces Carl's exact ordering
(fails at `35834cb31` with 0 calls), plus a cold-channel guard that the
fix does not double-fetch.
- `b129231c8` fix(desktop): let concurrent post-hydration refreshes
share one window fetch — found independently by Max and Wren reviewing
`5a5566c0f`: subscribe settlement + reconnect both wake on the same
snapshot promise and both invalidate; the second (default
`cancelRefetch: true`) cancelled and replaced the first authoritative
fetch (3 queryFn calls, not 2, and the cancelled Tauri invoke still hits
the relay). The seeded branch now invalidates with `cancelRefetch:
false` so a second waker joins the in-flight fetch; cold/warm keep the
default (`test_canceled_stale_fetch_cannot_overwrite_catch_up_window`
relies on it). Concurrent regression test fails at `5a5566c0f` with 3.

### Testing
At `b129231c8` (PR head; verified in one shell with `git rev-parse HEAD`
= `b129231c8`): `pnpm check`, `tsc --noEmit`, desktop unit 5,393 / 0,
Playwright `boot-splash` + `channel-head-restart` + `relay-reconnect` +
`relay-reconnect-affordance` + `thread-unread` 34 / 34 on a fresh
`build:e2e`, pre-push hooks green.

At `5a5566c0f`: `pnpm check`, `tsc --noEmit`, desktop unit 5,392 / 0,
Playwright `boot-splash` + `channel-head-restart` + `relay-reconnect` +
`relay-reconnect-affordance` + `thread-unread` 34 / 34 on a fresh
`build:e2e`, pre-push hooks green.

At `35834cb31`: desktop unit 5,390 / 0; `cargo test -p buzz-relay --lib`
910 / 0; fmt + clippy `-D warnings` clean; Playwright 32 / 32 (same
specs minus affordance); GitHub CI green on every job except Smoke (3)
(unrelated project-review row-count + messaging timing flake, per Carl)
and Unit Tests (sherpa cache skeleton, below).

Earlier, all at `8133d70bb` (this PR head is `0c492366d` = 8133d70bb + a
comments-only commit correcting two `profile/hooks.ts` freshness
comments from 60s to 10 min; pre-push desktop check/typecheck/test
5,387/0 re-ran at 0c492366d) in one shell; `origin/main` = `040b203f7`
at PR open, since moved to `4baccd539` (#6558, mobile only — zero file
overlap, `git merge-tree` clean):

- `just desktop-test` — 5,387 passed / 0 failed (includes new hook-level
call-count test: cold = 1, stale-prefetched = 1, hydrated = 0 on mount
then 1 on invalidate with wholesale replacement)
- Playwright smoke `relay-reconnect.spec.ts` + `thread-unread.spec.ts` +
`channel-head-restart.spec.ts` — 30/30 (thread-unread was 8/13 at
`7acbf951b`; relay-reconnect was 15/16 at `bcfe04e2f`). The restart spec
persists a head, reloads into a fresh mock relay with the head fetch
held 5s, asserts the persisted row paints within 2s, exactly one
`get_channel_window` after open, and the stale row is removed when the
authoritative page lands.
- `pnpm typecheck`, `pnpm check` — clean

At `7acbf951b` (everything except the two-line `useThreadReplies.ts`
staleTime revert and the test-only `relay-reconnect.spec.ts` change),
also green in one shell:
- `just desktop-tauri-test` — 2,859 passed / 0 failed across the
workspace (channel_head_cache: wire shape, LRU+caps, schema reset,
corrupt-row skip)
- `just test-unit` — 632 passed (buzz-core/auth); `cargo test -p
buzz-relay --lib` — 908 passed / 0 failed
- `just check` components: fmt-check, clippy, desktop-check,
desktop-typecheck, desktop-tauri-fmt-check, desktop-tauri-clippy,
web-check, mobile-check, file-size-check — all green
- `just desktop-build`, `web-build`, `desktop-tauri-check`,
`mobile-test` (1,661 passed) — all green

CI note: the "Unit Tests" job goes red on this PR and on `main` whenever
it hits a poisoned `rust-cache` entry (an empty-directory skeleton of
`target/sherpa-onnx-prebuilt` that `sherpa-onnx-sys` build.rs trusts),
surfacing as `could not find native static library sherpa-onnx-c-api` in
`buzz-voice` — a crate this PR doesn't touch. Deleting the cache entry
and rerunning turned the job green at `0c492366d` (28/28); it re-poisons
on the next `main` push until the workflow clears that directory after
cache restore.

Reviewed in-channel by Wren (9 / 9 / 9.5) and Eva (9 / 9 / 9), and
line-by-line by me before opening; the staleTime fix re-verified by Wren
and me independently; the relay-reconnect test fix bisected and verified
by me.
