fix: do not await immediate outbox publish on command completion - #205
fix: do not await immediate outbox publish on command completion#205patrickleet wants to merge 7 commits into
Conversation
Command completion is the durable commit of events and outbox rows. Immediate publish still runs after commit, but on a spawned task so the caller is not blocked on the bus ack. Publish failure still does not fail the command; drain recovers claimed rows at lease expiry. Implements [[tasks/outbox-immediate-nonblocking-1]] TRANSPORT-REQ-001 / TRANSPORT-GAP-001 [[specs/framework/transports]]
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe outbox path now supports bounded after-commit scheduling with mailbox hints and polling recovery. Scheduled commits leave rows pending. Service routes now mount domain-owned commands. Tests wait for publication settlement before assertions. ChangesOutbox scheduling and domain command migration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change lets commands complete before bus acknowledgement, but hint-triggered draining can bypass backoff and starve polling under continuous failures, leaving pending outbox rows undrained; oversized hint batches can also exceed configured limits and cause duplicate publication after lease expiry. These are concrete availability and delivery risks at the current head, so the PR is not merge-ready until addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Keep each hinted dispatch within batch_size.
ids can already exceed limit. Line 236 can also append a full more vector after the limit check. The following dispatch_ids call then claims every ID in the oversized vector.
A slow publish pass can hold these claims past their lease. Another drain worker can then reclaim and publish the same rows. Split incoming hints into bounded batches and retain unconsumed IDs for later dispatch.

Do not skip the force-archive test when its required Todo is missing.
An empty read model can indicate that fixture setup, command routing, outbox publication, or projection failed. test.skip makes that failure pass and removes coverage for the admin command. Create or await the required Todo fixture, then fail the test if it does not appear.
