perf: serve mostro message queries from a single in-memory index - #715
Conversation
Sembast has no indexes: every write to the orders store re-evaluated one query listener per OrderNotifier and per visible trade row, each re-filtering and re-sorting the whole store and re-decoding the results on the UI isolate - O((notifiers + rows) x messages) per incoming message, growing with trade history. MostroStorage now keeps one in-memory index by order id (newest first), warmed from disk once per cold start. addMessage and the delete paths update it and notify a single per-order change stream; every public watcher and query keeps its signature but is served from memory and demultiplexed per order, so a write for order A never wakes order B's watchers. The transient request-id lookup stays on Sembast. Cross-isolate visibility is unchanged: sembast_io never surfaced another isolate's writes to an open database either way.

WalkthroughChangesOrder index
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR replaces repeated persistent queries with a process-local in-memory message index. At the current head, a failed index warm-up can leave watchers silent or prevent deletions from reaching disk, while concurrent updates can temporarily make displayed order history differ from persisted data. These are bounded but concrete correctness risks, so merge should wait for fixes or explicit owner acceptance. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Full details: Title checkExplanation The pull request title 'perf: serve mostro message queries from a single in-memory index' directly and specifically describes the main change. The PR implements an in-memory order index to serve message queries instead of running per-watcher Sembast queries. The title uses a clear performance optimization framing ('perf:') and names the key architectural change ('single in-memory index'). The title is concise, avoids noise, and accurately reflects the primary objective stated in PR objectives.

Request changes — one blocking issue, plus one cheap fix worth bundling with it.
First, on CI: the red check is not from this PR. Full suite on this branch is 1288 pass / 1 fail, and the single failure is dispute_chat_duplicate_envelope_test.dart, which fails identically on pristine main; #708 already fixes it. flutter analyze is clean, and the 6 new index tests are stable — 3/3 clean runs under CPU load.
Blocking: deleteAll() bypasses the index
Codex flagged this as P1 and it is correct. Reproduced:
after deleteAll -> on disk: 0 | getLatestMessageById: pay-invoice | history: 2 | index size: 1
Expected: null
Actual: <Instance of 'MostroMessage<Payload>'>
Two call sites use the inherited BaseStorage.deleteAll() rather than the new deleteAllMessages():
restore_manager.dart:102— account restorekey_management_screen.dart:79—_generateNewMasterKey()
Both are the "wipe everything" flows. Disk is emptied but _byOrder is not, so getLatestMessageById, watchLatestMessage, watchAllMessages and getAllMessagesForOrderId keep serving the deleted messages until the process restarts.
One aggravating detail beyond Codex's note: in the restore flow the deleteAll() at line 102 is followed by the addMessage(...) calls around line 725 that rebuild the restored orders. The index therefore ends up holding the pre-restore and post-restore histories merged under the same order ids, and OrderNotifier.sync() (order_notifier.dart:82-100) replays all of them through updateWith to rebuild OrderState. That is exactly the class of state corruption the open restore issue describes.
For _generateNewMasterKey() there is also a privacy angle: the user asked to become a new identity, and the previous identity's order history stays queryable for the rest of the session.
The fix is small — override deleteAll() in MostroStorage so it clears the index and notifies (and have deleteAllMessages() delegate to it), rather than patching each caller. I checked that those are the only two bypass sites: session_notifier._cleanupSessionData correctly uses deleteAllMessagesByOrderId, and there is no direct putItem/deleteItem/deleteWhere against this store anywhere.
_warmup is poisoned permanently on failure
Future<void> _ensureIndex() {
return _warmup ??= () async { final all = await getAll(); ... }();
}If getAll() throws, the stored future is retained completed with an error, and every later await _ensureIndex() rethrows it for the rest of the session. addMessage has a try/catch, but getLatestMessageById and getAllMessagesForOrderId do not — so one transient read failure during warm-up leaves every message query broken until restart. Setting _warmup = null in a catch fixes it, and it is cheap enough to bundle with the blocking fix.
Ordering: checked, no regression
I compared the resulting order on this branch and on main for an order's message history at n = 3, 10, 31, 32, 40 and 100 messages — identical in every case, newest first. MostroStorage.addMessage back-fills message.timestamp ??= DateTime.now().millisecondsSinceEpoch at write time, so every stored message carries a distinct millisecond receive time and nothing ties on the sort key. Moving the sort from Sembast into the index changes nothing here.
Minor
1. No dispose. _orderChanges is never closed. Harmless with an app-lifetime provider, but it leaks a controller per instance in tests.
2. The extra memory is smaller than it sounds — worth a line in the PR body. Sembast already loads the entire database into memory on open ("The whole document based database resides in a single file and is loaded in memory when opened", README line 11), so the index only adds the decoded MostroMessage objects on top of the raw maps that were already resident. A bounded increase, not a new category of cost.
3. hasItem and _indexAdd are not atomic: two concurrent addMessage calls with the same key would both pass the existence check and index the message twice, even though the DB deduplicates. Very unlikely in practice since MostroService._onData already dedups via _inFlightEventIds, but previously the DB was the single source and this could not happen.
What is right
The hot path is correctly identified and the demultiplex-per-order design is the right shape, pinned by tests. _watchOrder is well built: there is no gap between the initial read() and attaching the change listener (consecutive synchronous statements), and cancellation during warm-up is covered by the controller.isClosed guard. Leaving watchByRequestId on Sembast is the right call for a transient one-off. And the cross-isolate claim holds up: nothing outside the main isolate writes to the orders store — the background isolate only persists chat events to eventStore, and notification_data_extractor.dart:239 only reads, through a Riverpod ref.
With the deleteAll() override in place this is a solid win against a real cost, and the reactive half is well solved.
…warm-up Addresses PR review feedback: - deleteAll() is now overridden in MostroStorage so the account restore (restore_manager.dart) and master-key rotation (key_management_screen.dart) flows, which call the inherited BaseStorage.deleteAll(), also clear the in-memory index and notify watchers. Previously disk was emptied while the index kept serving deleted messages, merging pre-restore and post-restore histories under the same order ids. deleteAllMessages() now delegates. - A failed index warm-up no longer poisons every later query: the retained future is dropped so the next call retries. - addMessage claims the key synchronously, so two concurrent writes for the same key cannot both pass the existence check and index the message twice. - dispose() closes the order-change controller.

… disk `_watchOrder` awaited `_ensureIndex()` inside an async `onListen`, whose future the controller never observes: a failed warm-up left the subscriber waiting for data that never came and escaped as an unhandled async error. The failure is now forwarded through the stream and the controller is closed. `onCancel` no longer re-closes an already closed controller, since its done future only completes after `onCancel` returns and awaiting it again deadlocked. `deleteAllMessagesByOrderId` aborted before `deleteWhere` when the warm-up failed, leaving the records on disk. The warm-up is still awaited first so an in-flight read cannot re-index rows about to be deleted, but its failure no longer stops the deletion.
