This introduces the small routing-graph write transaction that later overlap-admission PRs will adopt at their own call sites. Same-process writers queue before opening a transaction, while a transaction-scoped PostgreSQL advisory lock serializes writers across processes for the site-local database.

The split keeps the lock protocol reviewable independently from snapshots, overlap evaluation, and the broad call-site sweep that made draft #4940 difficult to review.

Additional Notes

  • The specialized type owns both the transaction and in-process permit, and its commit and rollback methods consume them together.
  • Existing DB helpers can borrow the transaction through AsMut or as_pgconn, but cannot take ownership of it or complete it outside the wrapper.
  • PostgreSQL acquisition uses short non-blocking attempts and rolls back before each retry wait, so a contended writer does not park a pool connection.
  • The custom transaction lints recognize the new type, preserving the repository's unrelated-await and explicit-completion checks at future call sites.
  • This PR adds no routing snapshots, overlap evaluator, handler adoption, controller adoption, or external work under the lock.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added coordinated routing-graph write transactions.
    • Routing-graph writes now serialize safely across local and application processes.
    • Transactions remain available through commit or rollback and clean up safely if cancelled.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved transaction handling to prevent conflicting concurrent writes.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for serialization, cross-process contention, connection-pool reuse, cancellation cleanup, and transaction diagnostics.

Walkthrough

Added RoutingGraphWriteTransaction with local semaphore admission and PostgreSQL advisory-lock polling. Admission remains held through commit, rollback, or cancellation. Transaction lints and fixtures now recognize the new type.

Changes

Routing graph write admission

Layer / File(s) Summary
Admission transaction API
crates/api-db/src/lib.rs, crates/api-db/src/routing_graph_admission.rs
The public module and RoutingGraphWriteTransaction wrapper provide local serialization, PostgreSQL advisory-lock polling, transaction access, commit, rollback, and AsMut<PgTransaction> support.
Admission lifecycle validation
crates/api-db/src/routing_graph_admission.rs
Tests cover local and cross-process serialization, cancellation cleanup, and PostgreSQL pool usability.
Transaction lint integration
lints/carbide-lints/src/*, lints/carbide-lints/tests/fixtures/*
The transaction lints recognize RoutingGraphWriteTransaction. Fixtures cover valid usage, missing completion, await handling, and updated diagnostics.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6ddbe

The new write transaction coordinates routing-graph writers, but unrelated site-local databases may be unnecessarily serialized, sustained lock contention is difficult to observe and may create repeated database round trips, and test cleanup may retain connections longer than intended. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on these bounded risks.

Add fixture coverage for RoutingGraphWriteTransaction::rollback.

Production exposes rollback as an explicit consuming completion method. The fixture only models and tests commit. Add a successful rollback case so both transaction lints verify that this valid completion path does not emit a diagnostic.

Test local queueing before pool checkout.

These tests prove serialization, but they do not prove that the waiting writer has not opened a transaction. A regression that acquires local admission after Transaction::begin can still pass because the advisory lock blocks completion.

Add a constrained-pool test that verifies a locally queued writer does not consume another connection while the holder retains admission.

Close limited_pool before the test returns.

The test opens a second pool against the same per-test database and never closes it. The idle connections stay attached after the test body ends, which can obstruct the harness cleanup of that database. Close the pool explicitly so the test releases every connection it created.

88-98: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add jitter and contention observability to the lock poll loop.

The loop polls at a fixed 25 ms interval with no upper bound. Each unsuccessful attempt opens and rolls back a transaction, so several competing processes generate a synchronized, unbounded stream of short transactions against the same database. Two improvements keep the design intact:

  1. Add randomized jitter, or a bounded exponential backoff, so competing processes desynchronize.
  2. Emit a structured tracing field or an Event after the first unsuccessful attempt. Without it, a writer that waits for the whole request deadline produces no signal.

The unbounded total wait is documented as intentional, so this comment does not ask for a deadline.

312-324: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Note that the trailing rollback is unreachable by design.

The task parks on std::future::pending::<()>() at line 319, so the rollback at lines 320-323 never runs. The call is still required, because it keeps transaction alive across the park and makes the abort exercise drop-based release. A reader could interpret the unreachable tail as a mistake and remove it, which would drop the transaction before the abort and invalidate the test.

Add a one-line comment stating the intent.

Document why commit and rollback return a boxed future.

Both methods return Pin<Box<dyn Future ...>> instead of using async fn. The reason is that #[track_caller] does not propagate through an async fn body, so the inner Transaction::commit and Transaction::rollback calls must run in the synchronous portion to capture the correct caller location. That constraint is not visible in the code.

Add a short comment on each method. A future contributor could otherwise convert these to async fn and silently lose the caller location in rollback-failure telemetry.

Serialize routing-expanding writers across processes without parking pooled connections while they wait.

The specialized transaction keeps local admission and the database lock alive through commit or rollback, and the custom transaction lints cover its future call sites.

88-98: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Consider adding backoff jitter and contention observability to the retry loop.

The loop retries at a fixed 25 ms interval with no upper bound. Two consequences follow.

First, contention is silent. A writer can poll indefinitely while emitting no event and no metric. An operator cannot distinguish a slow write from a starved writer. Emit an Event when a writer exceeds a threshold number of attempts, or record an attempt counter. Keep labels low-cardinality; do not label by caller location.

Second, each failed attempt performs a pool checkout plus BEGIN, SELECT, and ROLLBACK round trips. Contending processes retry in lockstep because the interval is constant. Adding jitter, or growing the interval up to a ceiling, would reduce redundant round trips without changing the documented deadline semantics.

The unbounded wait itself is documented at Lines 81-82 and is intentional. This comment concerns only the retry cadence and its visibility.
