RFC-007 decision 8, built. This closes RFC-007 — nothing of it is left decided-but-unbuilt.

library_event_ack, keyed (library_id, device_id): sync_ack minus its account column, because the journal is keyed per account and this feed is keyed per library. A device belongs to exactly one account, so an account column here would be a third value derivable from the other two.

PUT /api/v2/libraries/{library_id}/events/ack, device and cursor in the body — the acknowledgement is about that device, so it is the request rather than a note attached to it, exactly as /api/v2/sync/ack has it.

Two checks rather than one

The device must be this account's and unrevoked, and the account must be a member of the library. sync_ack needs only the first: the journal has no second scope to escape into, and this does. A cursor beyond what the feed has written is refused too, or a client marks itself caught up with events that do not exist yet and is silently behind when they arrive.

All three refusals answer 422 alike. Telling them apart would say whether a library exists to somebody who may not know.

The stored cursor is never lowered: two of a client's own requests racing must not let the older win.

And it does not hold the purge back

Which is the whole of what decision 8 says it is for. A device that never returns would pin a feed forever, and a shared library would lose retention entirely the moment one phone was thrown away.

What the acknowledgement buys instead is a number: the purge now reports, per library, how many devices its watermark has just overtaken and sent back to the catalogue. The ack informs; decision 7 decides.

The tenancy case was tested wrong, and the removal found it

Three guards, and only two fell on the first pass. The membership join survived being deleted — because the test's "a library this account is not a member of" case sent the owner's device with the stranger's token, which is refused a step earlier by the device check and says nothing about tenancy.

The case that exercises the join is the stranger's own device against a library they cannot see. With that written, deleting the join fails: 204 where the test wants 422.

The other two already fell: an out-of-range cursor is accepted, and an older acknowledgement overwrites a newer one.

A test that passes for the wrong reason is worth less than no test, because it also stops anyone looking.

RFC-007 decision 8, built. `library_event_ack`, keyed
`(library_id, device_id)` — `sync_ack` minus its account column, because
the journal is keyed per account and this feed is keyed per library. A
device belongs to exactly one account, so an account column here would
be a third value derivable from the other two.

**Two checks rather than one, and both in the statement.** The device
must be this account's and unrevoked, and the account must be a member
of the library. `sync_ack` needs only the first: the journal has no
second scope to escape into, and this does. A cursor beyond what the
feed has written is refused too — otherwise a client marks itself caught
up with events that do not exist yet and is silently behind when they
arrive.

All three refusals answer 422 alike. Telling them apart would say
whether a library exists to somebody who may not know.

The stored cursor is never lowered. Two of a client's own requests
racing must not let the older win, and the server is not the place to
decide which of them is the truth.

**And the table does not hold the purge back**, which is the whole of
what decision 8 says it is for. A device that never returns would pin a
feed forever, and a shared library would lose retention entirely the
moment one phone was thrown away. What the acknowledgement buys instead
is a number: the purge now reports, per library, how many devices its
watermark has just overtaken and sent back to the catalogue. The ack
informs; decision 7 decides.

## The tenancy case was tested wrong, and the removal found it

Three guards, and only two fell on the first pass. The membership join
survived being deleted — because the test's "a library this account is
not a member of" case had sent the *owner's* device with the stranger's
token, which is refused a step earlier by the device check and says
nothing about tenancy.

The case that exercises the join is the stranger's own device against a
library they cannot see. With that written, deleting the join fails the
test: 204 where it wants 422. The other two already fell — an
out-of-range cursor is accepted, and an older acknowledgement overwrites
a newer one.

A test that passes for the wrong reason is worth less than no test,
because it also stops anyone looking.

#167 joins the line, and with it RFC-007 has nothing left decided but
unbuilt. Added once the number existed rather than guessed, which is the

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c7de1

The new library-feed acknowledgement path adds device, membership, and cursor validation, but the current maximum-cursor lookup is still missing required tenant-isolation predicates. That leaves a concrete cross-tenant correctness and security risk in request handling, so the PR is not merge-ready until it is fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Both findings were real.

**403 is reachable and the document did not say so.** The route asks for
`Access::Write`, and `authenticated` answers `Forbidden` when the token's
scopes do not grant it — a read-scoped API token gets 403, not 422. A
client generated from this document would have had no branch for it.

**And `devices_stranded` counted what it had inherited.** It asked how
many acknowledgements sat below the watermark, which is the standing
total rather than this pass's cost: a device sent back to the catalogue
in August was counted again by every trim for as long as it stayed
behind. The number is logged as *"trimming this feed sent devices back"*,
present tense, so it has to answer for the pass that prints it.

It is now counted between the two watermarks — at or above the old one,
below the new — and inside the transaction, because that is the only
place both are known. Read afterwards, the old one is already gone.

The test grows a second trim with the acknowledgement untouched: the
device is still behind, and this pass reports nought. Removing the lower
bound fails it, 1 where it wants 0.

One thing found while checking the first and deliberately not fixed
here: `/api/v2/sync/ack` has the identical omission — same `Access::Write`,
same missing 403, same `ErrorResponse` body. It is one line in another
feature's file, so it is recorded here rather than folded into a change
about the library feed.

Valid, though not for the reason it might read as. There is no leak
today: both ways out of this function answer 422, so a caller cannot
tell "beyond the feed" from "not your library" whichever way the read is
written. What makes it worth changing is the project's own rule —
tenancy lives in the query, never in a check the query trusts.
`library_changes` keeps a redundant membership predicate and says so in
a comment, precisely so that removing one guard cannot quietly widen
another. This read had only `library_id`.

The INSERT's `EXISTS` stays where it is. It is what covers a membership
revoked between the two statements, and it was not the redundant half.

## The first version of this fix was dead code, and SQL said so

Written as an aggregate over the join —
`SELECT COALESCE(MAX(e.cursor), 0) FROM library_member m JOIN ...` — it
compiled, passed every test, and enforced nothing. An aggregate with no
`GROUP BY` returns **one row** when the `WHERE` matches nothing, holding
NULL, which `COALESCE` turns into `Some(0)`: a library the caller cannot
see would have answered "latest is 0" and the `else` branch beneath it
would never have run.

Checked against sqlite3 rather than reasoned about: the aggregate form
returns one row for an empty membership, the subquery form returns none.
So the maximum is a subquery and the outer statement is non-aggregate
over `library_member`, where zero matching rows means zero rows.

No test distinguishes the two, and none can — both still answer 422.
This one was caught by running the SQL, which is the only thing that
could have caught it.

Comment thread src/services/library_events.rs Outdated
Valid. The ceiling asked the surviving rows how far a client could have
read, and a purge does not move that backwards — so a feed trimmed to
nothing answered 0 and refused an acknowledgement at a cursor
`library_changes` happily accepts to read *from*. Two parts of the same
feature disagreeing about the same number.

It is `MAX(events_purged_through, MAX(cursor))` now, zero when neither
exists.

**The state is unreachable in production, and the test says so out
loud.** `parse_positive_env` refuses a floor of zero, and a floor of one
always leaves a row whose cursor is at or above the watermark — so the
rows alone happen to be right, thanks to a bound enforced three files
away in the configuration parser. That is the kind of correctness that
stops being correct when somebody changes the other file, which is why
the expression should not lean on it.

The test therefore builds a configuration the server would refuse to
start with, a floor of zero, and says in as many words that this is what
it is doing. `Config::for_data_dir` does not validate, which is the only
reason it can be written — and a guard no test can reach is a guard
nobody can check. Removing the watermark from the ceiling fails it: 422
where it wants 204.

InstaZDLL added a commit that referenced this pull request Aug 30, 2026
The day ended with #167 approved and unmerged, so the standing section
says so rather than claiming a clean tree — that is the exact error the
previous handoff made about #152, and the one this file's own traps
section opens with.

What the next agent picks up starts with merging it. Decision 8 is built
on that branch and not on `main`; once it lands, RFC-007 has nothing
decided-but-unbuilt and only two items remain in the whole project:
sweeping `artwork_dir`, which is queued work rather than a question, and
§4, which no session can do.

Four traps from the afternoon, all of them found the same way — by not
believing a green suite:

- A test can pass for the wrong reason, which is worse than no test
  because it also stops anyone looking. The acknowledgement's tenancy
  case was refused a step earlier than the guard it meant to exercise,
  so deleting that guard failed nothing.
- An aggregate with no `GROUP BY` returns one row when the `WHERE`
  matches nothing. A tenancy predicate written that way enforced
  nothing and its `else` branch was dead. Caught by running the SQL,
  which was the only thing that could catch it.
- A clock read twice is not a boundary test. The retention bound is
  exclusive, so the boundary is one instant, and the test passed once
  then failed the next run for nothing that had changed.
- Correctness that leans on a bound enforced three files away stops
  being correct when somebody edits the other file.

#167 landed, so RFC-007 closes. It reached `main` only after an alert
nobody had looked at: the file recorded it as "approved and mergeable" and
GitHub said `BLOCKED`, on a ruleset that refuses a CodeQL alert of high
severity or worse. The alert is a false positive on
`generate_token("test-password-")`, the literal being a prefix and the
token being 32 CSPRNG bytes — and being wrong on the facts changed nothing
about the ruleset. Its twin, #137, is still open on `main`, and nine sites
share the pattern.

Two pull requests replace the one that closed. The entry for `artwork_dir`
is rewritten rather than ticked off: it said "same shape, another store",
and the shape is not the same. Covers are written from `waveflow_core`,
outside anything that can hold a lock, so age stands in for one — and
`extract_cover` skipping an existing file means a window stays open, which
the module states rather than papers over. The thumbnails nothing in the
database names are recorded too, since a reader who found only the covers
would leave two files per cover behind.

The lock entry is rewritten for the opposite reason: it is demonstrated
now, and what unblocked it was scope rather than scheduling.

Six traps. The one worth the paragraph is that an approval and a
mergeability check are different questions — this file asserted the second
while having only asked the first, and the next agent would have started
the day by pressing a button that does not work.
