Summary

This is L-R-1 PR 4. It adds the PostgreSQL derived index of Research Notes and the research.reindex_work job, following docs/postgresql-architecture.md §8.4 and the #647 correction.

Enqueue. Every command that changes a Research Note enqueues one research.reindex_work job in its own transaction, so the job is claimable only after that change commits. The commands are:

• a note write (notes._set_locked, used by SET_WORK_RESEARCH_NOTE and the facade);
• a Work create with a note;
• a Work delete.

Jobs are never coalesced. A queued twin could be claimed before the enqueuing transaction commits, and a first note (an insert) would then be invisible to it.

The job (backend/domain/research/reindex.py) runs one READ COMMITTED transaction through the existing jobs runtime, so it is lease- and epoch-fenced. It:

1. takes pg_advisory_xact_lock on the Work's reindex key (Library + Work);
2. takes the Work row FOR KEY SHARE. It waits for a Work delete in flight, and a later delete waits for it. If the Work is gone, the job deletes its mention and work_note_state rows and writes nothing;
3. reads the note FOR SHARE. A note edit in flight is waited for, and a later edit waits;
4. replaces derived.concept_mentions, derived.argument_mentions and derived.work_note_state in the same transaction.

Indexing details:

• Concept references resolve through concept_keys in one query, with no Python scan.
• Argument references are recorded as written, as research_index.sync_work does on SQLite.
• The canonical note stays the only authority, and only the job writes derived rows.
• reindex_work(scope, work_id) is the per-Work primitive the L-S-1 rebuild can reuse.

Research-ACK fence.

• The SET_WORK_RESEARCH_NOTE ACK is unchanged (same result shape and codes) and no longer waits for the index.
• research_refs(scope, work_id) returns {concepts, arguments, pending}. pending stays true until the stored work_note_state hash is the current note's.
• A replayed op answers from the ledger and enqueues nothing.

Concept auto-creation. This is SQLite's ensure_concepts_for_names, the markup side effect of a note write, needed so mentions match SQLite.

• A Research Note change (a note write or a Work create with a note) creates the Concepts its markup names that do not exist yet, with no revision advanced.
• When any are missing, it first takes the Library's Concept key lock (lock_keys, the one set_identity takes) and creates them in key order. A note writes several keys, so without this lock a rename taking two of them in the opposite order could deadlock with it (Codex finding, fixed in 6956f46). Notes that name missing Concepts therefore serialize with identity writes; notes that only name existing Concepts take no key lock.
• The named Concepts are then held FOR KEY SHARE, as before. This is compatible with an identity write's FOR NO KEY UPDATE.
• A failed note write rolls the new Concepts back together with its job.

Registration. backend/jobs/worker.py imports the module to register the handler, as it does for jobs.prune.

Scope / non-goals

Not in this PR:

• graph projection and read endpoints (backlinks, counts);
• HTTP route switching;
• frontend changes;
• the full research rebuild (rebuild-derived --only research, L-S-1);
• merge-command reindexing (the Work merge command is L-W-2 and must enqueue a reindex for both Works when it lands).

+	Note creating several Concepts vs. a rename	test_a_note_creating_several_concepts_and_a_rename_take_the_key_lock_first: the rename waits on the advisory key lock and then refuses cleanly; without the fix it waits on the key index

E2E was not run locally because no frontend or route code changed.

GitHub CI

Reported separately once the run on the final head finishes.

Migration / compatibility impact

• No schema change: this uses the derived tables from 130_research.sql.
• The facade's update_work_metadata(text_content=…) now auto-creates Concepts, as the SQLite HTTP note path (save_work_notes) does.
• A Work created with a Research Note also auto-creates the Concepts it names (Devin finding, b697ce7). SQLite's add_work stores the note without doing so; the PG path follows the note-write rule so every Concept a note names exists.

Risks / follow-up

• Every note change enqueues a job, so rapid edits queue several cheap idempotent jobs. Coalescing would need the enqueuing transaction to commit before a twin can read the note.
• A note naming missing Concepts holds the Library's Concept key lock until it commits, so it briefly serializes with renames and alias changes in that Library.
• A Concept rename, alias change or Concept create does not reindex notes that name it, as on SQLite. The derived rows go stale until the next note change or the L-S-1 rebuild. Reads join the live Concept and Argument rows, so a deleted record never shows.
• Next L-R-1 steps:
  • PR 5: graph projection and read endpoints (mention counts, backlinks).
  • The route switch.
  • The Version-aware citation API.
• The L-W-2 merge command must enqueue reindexes for the source and target Works.

Checklist

• Relevant tests/checks were run and are listed above.
• Documentation/generated files were updated when required (AGENTS.md, typed slice, invariants).
• UI evidence is included when applicable (n/a).
• No unrelated changes are intentionally included.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Research Notes now automatically create referenced Concepts that don’t already exist.
  • Research references are indexed in the background after note changes, Work creation with a note, and Work deletion. References remain marked as pending until the index reflects the current note.

• Bug Fixes

  • Reindexing safely handles concurrent note changes and Work deletion, and avoids recreating index entries for deleted Works.

Walkthrough

Research Note writes now create missing referenced Concepts and enqueue per-Work reindex jobs for note changes, Work creation with a note, and Work deletion. The PostgreSQL job rebuilds derived Concept and Argument mentions and note state transactionally. Reference reads return indexed records and report whether indexing is pending.

Changes: Research Note indexing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reference creation and job enqueueing backend/domain/research/concepts.py, backend/domain/works/commands.py, backend/domain/works/notes.py, tests/pg/test_research_index.py, AGENTS.md, backend/domain/research/__init__.py	Research Note writes create missing referenced Concepts under key locks and enqueue reindex jobs. Work creation with a note and Work deletion also enqueue jobs. PostgreSQL tests cover Concept creation, rollback, and key-lock behavior.
Reindex execution and reference reads backend/domain/research/reindex.py, backend/jobs/worker.py, tests/pg/test_research_index.py, pyrightconfig.typed-slice.json, scripts/check_invariants.py, tests/test_engineering_invariants.py, backend/domain/research/__init__.py	The registered job locks and reindexes a Work, replaces derived mentions and note state, and exposes existing references with a pending flag. Tests cover queued jobs, retries, concurrency, deletion, acknowledgements, and Library isolation.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is complete and structured according to the repository template. It explains the changes, related issue, scope, validation results, compatibility impact, risks, follow-up work, and checklist status. It also explains why E2E was not run.

Full details: Prks Engineering Invariants

Explanation

PASS. The changed PostgreSQL research behavior matches the applicable repository rules. backend/domain/research/reindex.py writes only the derived mention/state tables, while note and concept/argument deletion checks use canonical work_notes content. notes.py and works/commands.py create referenced Concepts in the same transaction and enqueue indexing; private notes and ordinary prose are not indexed. The new queries retain library_id scoping, and no changed code logs private research content. README.md, SECURITY.md, and backend/frontend rules contain no conflicting requirement.

Full details: Ui Design Contract

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only backend research/work code, job registration, configuration, documentation, and tests. It does not change frontend files, routes, styles, or other user-visible UI interactions. The UI design contract is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Offline And Sync Coherence

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes PostgreSQL persistence and its sync handler, but it does not change the browser offline runtime, service worker, or durable-operation protocol. The documented PostgreSQL design explicitly requires an unchanged ACK, a post-commit reindex, and a pending fence. The new sync test verifies the ACK shape, queued job, pending-to-ready transition, exact replay, and no-op behavior. Additional tests cover at-least-once reruns, note edits, Work deletion, stale jobs, and Library isolation. The behavior remains coherent with the current local-first rules.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 26.19% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 42 functions across 9 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
