# Durable Data Sync
Drop-in replacement for the built-in data_sync module that runs imports as durable jobs and resumes after a crash.
Use when long data_sync imports must survive deploys and worker kills and resume from the last committed cursor.
When not to use it: It takes the data_sync slot of core. It needs open-mercato-durable-work at the same version.

## What it adds (read statically from the published code)
Few contracts read from src/.
- Tables (0): none
- API routes: 17 (0 public)
- Permissions to grant (0): none
- Events emitted (0): none
- Settings needed (names only): none
- Talks to: no URL found in the code
- Replaces or conflicts: replaces core data_sync

## Install plan (0.9)
1. yarn mercato module add @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-durable-work@0.6.0 --allow-third-party
2. Remove { id: 'data_sync', from: '@open-mercato/core' } from src/modules.ts
3. yarn mercato module add @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-data-sync-durable@0.6.0 --allow-third-party
4. yarn generate
5. yarn db:migrate (ask the user first)
6. Grant these permissions to roles the user names: durable_work.view, durable_work.operate

Agent policy (0.9): ask. Third-party code runs with access to all tenants' data. Replaces core data_sync. Remove the core registration first.
Consent: the user types "Install @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-durable-work@0.6.0, @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-data-sync-durable@0.6.0".

# @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-data-sync-durable

A drop-in replacement for Open Mercato's core `data_sync` module that runs sync runs as durable
work. Same tables, same REST API, same adapter contract, same events, same UI.

## The problem

A `data_sync` run is one long stream over a cursor. On core's engine:

- a deploy in the middle of a multi-day backfill kills the run
- a worker that dies leaves the run `running` forever
- one transient error at hour nine fails the whole run, throwing away hour one through eight

## Install

```bash
yarn add @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-data-sync-durable @fullstackhouse/open-mercato-durable-work pg-boss
```

Name `durable-work` explicitly: it is a *peer* of this package, not a dependency, and yarn does
not install peers for you. That is not tidiness — it exports a process-wide registry, so a
second copy in the tree would mean job kinds register into one while the worker reads the other,
silently. `pg-boss` is the client for the default transport; swap it for `bullmq` and `ioredis`
to run on Redis.

The two packages release in lockstep at one version, and this package's peer range is rewritten
to `^<that version>` on every release — upgrade them together
(`yarn up '@fullstackhouse/open-mercato-*'`). Still 0.x: pin the exact version in production.

`src/modules.ts` — the whole change is one `from`:

```ts
{ id: 'durable_work', from: '@fullstackhouse/open-mercato-durable-work' },
{ id: 'data_sync',    from: '@fullstackhouse/open-mercato-data-sync-durable' },  // was '@open-mercato/core'
```

Then `yarn generate && yarn db:migrate` — a no-op for existing `data_sync` history, because the
migration classes keep core's names — and run `yarn mercato durable_work worker`.

Reverting is the same line.

## What changes

A run gets a lease. It commits its cursor under that lease, hands back at a batch boundary when
its slice budget is spent or the process is stopping, and resumes from the committed cursor. The
batch that spends the budget is always committed first, however long it took — the hand-back
lands at the start of the next one — so every slice makes progress even when a single batch
outlasts the whole budget. A transient error retries the slice instead of failing the run. A
worker that dies is noticed by the reconciler within about a minute. One live run per
integration, entity and direction.

That makes `lease.sliceBudgetMs` a soft limit: a slice runs until the first batch boundary past
it, so it can outlast the budget by a whole batch — size the budget against the *slowest* batch,
not the average one. Two to three times the slowest batch leaves room; a budget that a single
batch can already exceed does not.

A slice that never reaches a boundary at all — an adapter stuck on a socket or a lock that never
returns — is abandoned after `DATA_SYNC_MAX_SLICE_MS`. The run is re-driven from its last
committed cursor, and parked as `poison` if it hangs every time, which releases the stream for a
new start. The broker's in-flight timeout follows the deadline, so a slice that is merely slow is
never redelivered while it runs.

### Runs no job carries

A run started through core's start path becomes durable when its queue message is delivered.
If that never happens — the process died before the enqueue, the message was lost, or every
adoption was refused — the run would sit `pending` or `running` with no job, and core's overlap
check would refuse every later start of that stream. A sweep on the reconciler's tick settles
those runs once they have been quiet for the grace period:

- its job already finished: the run takes the job's outcome
- no job, and quiet for less than the adoption limit: a job is created and the run resumes
- no job, and quiet for longer: the run is failed rather than resumed from a stale cursor
- another live run holds the stream: the run is failed with that reason

A run it fails gets core's finalize tail — progress job, integration health, lifecycle event —
