Delayed hosted device-list replies can restore a primary retired while their IQ was in flight. Hosted identity publication can also deadlock when a custom registry-cache delete callback calls modify_device or awaits a mapping task.

This change carries the original primary epoch through publication and recovery, orders durable registry reads after publication ACKs, and checks current reciprocal and durable discovery ownership before moving stored state.

Identity publication separates planning from commit. The worker retains selected registry history, releases maintenance, Session, Map, Registry and device ownership before invoking delete callbacks, then reacquires the guards and checks topology, aliases, identities and primary continuity. A readable cache-only refill allows up to three eviction attempts, repeating every state check; deletion failures, malformed values, unavailable verification reads and exhausted retries stop before trust replacement or session cleanup. The final companion scan runs under reacquired account locks and device ownership, merging current session/identity IDs with retained history. Eviction invalidates memos on success and error. Caller cancellation leaves the owned publisher responsible for completion.

Durable fallback promotes only the in-process cache, preventing a read from invoking a host set callback under Registry. Custom registry stores are populated by authoritative writes; a miss can require another backend read until such a write. Read/write ACK ordering remains enforced.

Benchmark-only registry seeding matches main. The connected-retention gate still reports 72 additional bytes per client after a cold registry read initializes the persistent mutex event. The mutex-allocation lifetime is being corrected and will be remeasured with the same fixture.

Regressions cover public-IQ callback deadlocks, nested cache reads, bounded eviction retries, connection/primary retirement, cancellation, storage errors, L1-only history, and companions installed through the real authenticated SDK path while eviction runs. Existing delayed-IQ, discovery-ownership and ACK-ordering controls remain.

Protocol evidence: whatspec ae3880925bacd23863cc30ec480c9f82bfd869f1, schema 4.5.0, WhatsApp Web 2.3000.1052559453. All 676 locked bundles in the exact bundle-store asset were verified; archive SHA-256 2958d99a3d84141fa8479f1f991e06246e68c063ca8f618a8d5d361287387f62. WAWebHandleAdvDeviceNotificationUtils validates signatures and required details before identity storage, and WAWebAdvHandlerApi awaits identity-update promises before device-table updates. Validation uses preserved source and synthetic tests.

Reviewed binary-size cost: the functional runtime revision adds 37,632 bytes of .text (0.37%) and 40,256 stripped bytes (0.33%) against frozen base 4ad6d762. This exceeds the default 32 KiB text budget by 4,864 bytes; stripped growth remains below its 64 KiB budget. The added publication fences, callback revalidation and cancellation ownership are retained as the accepted fix cost under the repository's documented size-increase-ok label policy. Release profiles, workloads and budget values are unchanged.

Validation on 36bba6de: all 96 focused ADV/recovery regressions and 3,817 SDK tests pass (three existing skips). All-feature SDK library/test Clippy, formatting and diff checks pass; workspace/all-target Clippy also passed before this small SDK update. WASM library typechecking passes. All five inline review threads are resolved; Greptile and CodeRabbit approved the functional changes. Docstring coverage is 83.75%, above the 80% threshold. This PR was merged by @jlucaso1 at 2026-11-10 21:46 UTC. The remaining registry-mutex retention correction is isolated in draft #1884.

Inherited audit finding: Cargo Deny detects RUSTSEC-2026-0459 in the unchanged bundled libsqlite3-sys 0.38.2 dependency. Cargo.lock and the SQLite dependency manifests match base 4ad6d762. Published Diesel 2.3.14 is still the latest release and requires libsqlite3-sys <0.39.0; fixed SQLite bindings start at 0.39.0. An isolated Cargo resolution with Diesel 2.3.14 and libsqlite3-sys 0.39.1 fails because both versions claim links = "sqlite3". This needs a compatible dependency fix; the audit remains enabled.

Carry primary continuity from the IQ boundary through hosted publication and recovery. Retry device ownership outside maintenance and topology guards, keep cache fills owned through ACK, and validate current discovery ownership before migration.

Synchronize the migration regression at actual Session/Map ownership and preserve publication assertions.

Validated local equivalent tree b06f8372: 3801 SDK tests passed, 3 existing ignored; all-feature root lib/tests Clippy with warnings denied, browser-WASM library check, formatting and diff checks passed. The earlier incomplete suite and performance limits are preserved in the PR description. No profile, workload, budget or Walltime changes.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reliability of device identity and device-list updates during concurrent activity and recovery.
    • Identity changes are blocked when stale device data cannot be confirmed as removed.
    • Token data is saved under the resolved identity when a mapping changes during the save process.
    • Group refreshes can still apply valid peer updates when individual contacts encounter trust conflicts.
    • Cache invalidation failures are surfaced where they could affect identity updates.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for identity recovery, cache ordering, cancellation, concurrent updates, and persistence failures.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified cache safeguards for replacing identities and publishing device lists.

The changes coordinate device-registry reads and cache updates with PN/LID migration and ADV identity publication. Publication carries request authentication epochs, stages changes, validates registry and identity state, and commits after ownership admission. Tests cover migration, cache ordering, publication, and cancellation.

Changes: Registry and identity consistency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guarded registry reads and cache operations
src/cache_store.rs, src/cache_config.rs, src/client/device_registry.rs, src/client/device_topology.rs, src/portable_cache/implementation.rs, src/store/release_tests.rs, wacore/src/store/cache.rs
Shared helpers coordinate durable registry reads with cache promotion under publication guards. Checked cache operations return lookup and invalidation errors. Tests cover invalidation ordering and queued writers; documentation describes registry-cache behavior.
PN/LID ownership checks and migration
src/client/device_registry.rs, src/client/lid_pn.rs, src/send/tctoken_storage.rs
Discovery migration checks current cached and durable ownership before transferring sessions or registry data. Token persistence tests verify that a mapping added after fence admission resolves writes to the LID key.
Epoch-checked ADV publication and commit
src/client/adapters.rs, src/store/persistence_manager.rs, src/usync.rs
ADV processing carries the request authentication epoch into a staged plan. Trust changes trigger registry-key eviction and state revalidation. Commit uses nonblocking ownership admission, and identity reactions are deferred.
Publication and ordering validation
src/test_utils.rs, src/usync/hosted_recovery_tests.rs, src/usync/ordinary_recovery_tests.rs, src/store/release_tests.rs
Tests cover publication, recovery, cache callbacks, migration ordering, cancellation, and queued cache writers. Helpers configure test cache behavior and backend gates.

The change fences delayed device-list publication and cache eviction. No outstanding code defects were identified in this review. The reported Cargo Deny advisory on the bundled SQLite dependency should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merging, because the audit gate is still enabled.

[High impact] The reviewed changes appear safe to merge; no new blocking issue was found.

Summary

This PR protects delayed device-list replies and separates identity-change planning from commit.

  • Hosted device-list replies recheck identity ownership before changing trust.
  • Device registry reads wait for publication ACKs without calling host cache writes.
  • Discovery migrations move state only while the PN/LID pair still belongs together.
  • Token writes resolve phone-number addresses after mapping admission.

Both earlier, unnumbered review findings are addressed: deletion releases the relevant locks, and the final companion scan merges current state with retained history. No new actionable issues were found. Tests were inspected, not run.
