fix(db): explain a downgrade before the event loop, not inside it#530InstaZDLL wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
The guard from #528 detects a database from the future correctly on Linux; the half that tells the user does not. It ran from the Tauri setup hook, and setup runs from inside the event loop, so the main thread was blocked in join() while tao held the default GLib main context -- the same context rfd's GTK backend needs to create the dialog. Nothing was ever mapped and the process hung on a frozen splash, which is worse for a Linux user than the crash it replaced (#529). The same shape deadlocks macOS: rfd's run_on_main dispatches to a main queue nobody is draining, and panics outright before NSApplication is running. So the explanation moves ahead of tauri::Builder::run, where no main context is held and no window exists yet. schema_guard::preflight vets the two databases startup is about to open -- app.db, then the profile resolve_target_profile picks, now a free function so the pre-flight and bootstrap cannot drift apart. It creates nothing (create_if_missing(false)) and defers on anything short of a verdict: the guards inside the real opens are still the authority, and one that refused on its own uncertainty would be a new way to brick a healthy install. The setup guard stays as a backstop and may only exit, never present. rfd cannot report a failed gtk_init_check -- run_blocking parks on a condvar nobody will notify -- so the dialog is skipped when neither DISPLAY nor WAYLAND_DISPLAY is set, rather than hanging headless. Six new tests against the real migrations, including that a profile this launch will not open never grounds it, and that the pre-flight leaves a fresh install untouched.

sqlx 0.9 SqliteConnectOptions default journal_mode WAL
💡 Result:
In SQLx (including version 0.9.x), the library does not set the SQLite journal mode to WAL by default [1][2][3]. This design choice was implemented to avoid unintentionally changing a database into or out of Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) mode, as changing the journal mode acquires an exclusive lock on the database and can interfere with existing connections [1][4]. Key details regarding journal mode in SQLx: - Default Behavior: SQLx does not issue any PRAGMA journal_mode command by default upon connecting [1][4]. The database will operate in its existing journal mode (which defaults to DELETE in standard SQLite [5][6]). - Explicit Configuration: If you wish to use WAL mode, you must explicitly configure it in your connection options using the journal_mode method on SqliteConnectOptions [1][4]. - Tooling Consistency: While SQLx avoids setting the mode automatically for connections, for consistency, the sqlx-cli tool does create new SQLite databases in WAL mode by default [1][4]. - Persistence: Because WAL mode is a persistent setting within the SQLite database file itself, once a database has been set to WAL mode, it will remain in that mode for all subsequent connections unless it is explicitly changed back [5][6]. Example of how to configure WAL mode explicitly: let options = SqliteConnectOptions::new.filename("my_database.db").journal_mode(SqliteJournalMode::Wal); let pool = SqlitePoolOptions::new.connect_with(options).await?;

Closes #529.
#528 shipped the detection and the sentence. The detection was platform-independent, as claimed; the sentence was not. On Linux it never reached the screen and left the process hung on a frozen splash — worse, for a Linux user, than the crash it replaced.
Why it hung
setupruns from inside the event loop, so the main thread was parked injoin()whiletaoheld the default GLib main context. That is the same contextrfd's GTK backend needs: it hands every dialog to a global thread that iterates it. Two threads waiting on each other, nothing mapped, no exit. Theeu-stacktrace is in #529.Reading
rfd0.16's sources for the third platform says macOS deadlocks the same way, and would have even without a display:run_on_maindispatches to a main queue nobody is draining when called off-thread, and panics outright whenNSApplicationisn't running yet. So the spawned thread that fixes Windows breaks the other two.What changed
The explanation moved ahead of
tauri::Builder::run— no main context held, no window created, and therefore no splash to hide either, which was the other half of what made the old shape fragile.schema_guard::preflightvets exactly the two databases startup is about to open:app.db, then the profileresolve_target_profilepicks. Not every profile on disk — one left behind by a newer build is no reason to ground a launch that won't touch it.resolve_target_profileis now a free function taking&SqlitePool, so the pre-flight andbootstrapask the same question. If they drifted, the pre-flight would vet one database and the app would open another.create_if_missing(false)): a pre-flight that materializedapp.dbwould turn "no install yet" into "install with an empty database" and the first-run path would never run again.setupguard stays as a backstop and may only exit, never present. It's reachable when the pre-flight couldn't read what startup then could.rfdhas no way to report a failedgtk_init_check—run_blockingparks on a condvar nobody will notify — so the dialog is skipped when neitherDISPLAYnorWAYLAND_DISPLAYis set. Otherwise the fix would reintroduce the hang everywhere GTK can't start.AppPaths::from_root/root_for_identifierare the plumbing: the pre-flight has noAppHandleto resolve against, and the identifier is read from the generated context sotauri.conf.jsonstays the single source of truth (app_data_dir()isdirs::data_dir()/<identifier>, pertauri::path::PathResolver).Verified
cargo test -p waveflow --lib— 348 passed, including 6 new pre-flight tests against the real migrations: a futureapp.db, a future profiledata.db, a profile this launch will not open (must not ground it) versus the one it will (must), an unreadable file (must defer), and a fresh install left untouched on disk.cargo check --workspace --all-targets,bun run typecheck, clippy — clean, no new warnings.no display server; the error above is the whole story→ exit 1 in under a second. No hang, which is the regression this closes.Not verified
The dialog has not been watched appear. The machine this was written on has no Xvfb and no local session, and the reviewer is away from their desktop — that check is deliberately parked, not skipped. What it would confirm is that the window is mapped once the GLib context is free; what is already established is that the process no longer waits for a context it can't get.
macOS remains untested at runtime, as in #528. The change there is argued from
rfd's source, and it moves that platform from "would deadlock or panic" to "the supported main-thread call".Summary by CodeRabbit
