📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughPowerSync tracking now serializes trigger startup, cleanup, and diff flushing. Eager and on-demand paths cancel invalidated work, manage demand revisions, retry failed releases, and dispose late-created resources. Tests cover startup, cleanup, hook, eviction, and tracking races. ChangesPowerSync tracking lifecycle

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Reschedule a rebuild when a demand bump invalidates an in-flight rebuild.
Every trackingRevision bump cancels an in-flight rebuildTracking, but only the activation path (Line 745) starts a new one. The failure path (Line 726) and the invalidated-release path (Line 738) bump the revision and return.
This sequence strands an active demand with no trigger:
- Demand A activates, bumps the revision to
r, andrebuildTrackingcapturesr. - Demand B calls
loadSubset; provisional registration bumps the revision tor+1. - A's rebuild reaches its first
isCurrent()check inside the write lock, seesr+1, and returns without creating a trigger. A'sloadSubsetresolves. - B's hook rejects, or B is released or aborted. Both paths only bump the revision.
Demand A is then active with no diff trigger and no baseline hydration, so its rows never load and later source changes are never observed. Recovery depends on an unrelated later demand change.
unloadSubset has the same gap: when a provisional demand is released (Line 851), the revision bump can invalidate an in-flight rebuild, and no rebuild is scheduled because wasActive is false.
Start a rebuild after each invalidating bump.
🐛 Proposed fix for the load paths
} catch (error) {
demand.state = `failed`
demands.delete(options)
trackingRevision++
+ await rebuildTracking().catch((rebuildError) =>
+ database.logger.error(
+ `Could not rebuild subset tracking for ${viewName}`,
+ rebuildError,
+ ),
+ )
throw error
} demand.state = `released`
demands.delete(options)
trackingRevision++
demand.cleanup?.()
+ await rebuildTracking().catch((error) =>
+ database.logger.error(
+ `Could not rebuild subset tracking for ${viewName}`,
+ error,
+ ),
+ )
return
}Apply the same treatment in unloadSubset for the non-active case, for example by pushing the release into pendingReleases unconditionally or by scheduling rebuildTracking there.

Remove the two unnecessary type assertions.
ESLint reports @typescript-eslint/no-unnecessary-type-assertion as an error on both lines, so the lint job fails. resolve accepts undefined and reject accepts unknown.
🧹 Proposed fix
runQueuedWriteLock = async () => {
try {
await callback({} as never)
- resolve(undefined as never)
+ resolve(undefined)
} catch (error) {
- reject(error)
+ reject(error)
}
}Keep reject(error) unchanged if the reported assertion is on a different token; the required change is to drop the as never casts flagged by ESLint.

PowerSync now serializes change observation, tracking setup, flush, and cleanup. This prevents startup changes from being dropped and prevents released queries or load hooks from creating work after cleanup.
Root cause
PowerSync can notify that its diff table changed after creating the table but before
createDiffTrigger()publishes the disposer. The adapter treated the missing disposer as “nothing to flush,” so that notification could be lost.Startup also had two cancellation gaps: an on-demand subset could be released while waiting for observation to start and then reacquire tracking, and an eager
onLoadhook could resolve after collection cleanup without being released.Approach
Key invariants
Non-goals
This does not change PowerSync predicate combination, row eviction, or mutation persistence semantics. The startup tracker stays local to this adapter rather than introducing a shared lifecycle abstraction.
Verification
pnpm exec vitest run --pool-options.threads.maxThreads=2 pnpm --filter @tanstack/powersync-db-collection buildThe package suite passes 98 tests across 7 files with no type errors. Regression tests cover notification-before-handle publication, observer startup failure, cleanup during trigger creation, subset release during startup, and a late eager load hook.
