From ce32c436e8174d9f0b59d138fb26cff7fb49b484 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthew Robert Wesney <157447210+dovvnloading@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 17 Oct 2026 08:12:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf(persistence): read only the message fields a caller uses A new turn read the whole transcript to build the model's history, which copied and JSON-decoded every reply's reasoning, sources and stats only to drop them; a fork read and decoded the whole source chat just to check that one message id was in it. DatabaseManager.load_messages(thread_id, columns=...) selects only the named fields (a fixed whitelist, never passed to SQL as given), decodes them the way load_chat does, and returns None for an unknown chat. chat_exists is a SELECT 1. Both repositories expose them as get_messages and chat_exists, covered by the shared contract tests. The new-turn history read now asks for the five fields history is built from, the fork check reads only ids, and rename asks chat_exists. load_chat shares the row decoding so the two reads cannot drift.

When a turn attaches nothing, the documents attached to the user's most recent message are resolved again, through the same owner and integrity checks, and sent marked as coming from the previous message, under their own heading. They go through the attachment budget that scales with the context window like any document. Images stay with their own turn, only the immediately previous message lends documents, and a turn that attaches its own files gets only those. A document deleted or expired since is left out (a count is logged, never a name or text) and the turn proceeds. Nothing is persisted on the follow-up; regenerating its reply brings the same documents back. To have the previous turn's attachments before resolution, the new turn's one partial transcript read moves from prepare() to admission. The user turn is still appended guarded by the admitted revision, so a write landing after that read fails the append as before. A brand-new chat no longer makes a read at all.
