📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughFile-backed SQLite teardown now has bounded rollback and close operations. Timed-out sessions are fenced, their connections are interrupted and invalidated, and deferred cleanup is tracked through shutdown. PostgreSQL and in-memory SQLite retain unbounded teardown behavior.

Part 2 of the issue #1682 plan. Session teardown shielded rollback/close unboundedly, so a wedged teardown pinned SQLite's single writer slot with nothing to reclaim it: every writer — including the scheduler_leader INSERT needed to re-establish leadership — surfaced 'database is locked' until the wedge spontaneously resolved (~17 minutes in the report). The teardown now gets a hard deadline on file-backed SQLite (busy timeout / 6 = 5s), still shielded from the caller's cancellation. Abandoning the wedged await alone would release nothing — the aiosqlite worker thread keeps holding the lock — so a missed deadline reclaims the connection: the driver is interrupted (aborting the C-level call the worker is stuck in) and the connection is invalidated, which terminates it at the pool via aiosqlite's stop(), hard-closing the underlying sqlite3 connection. That releases the writer slot and guarantees the connection is never handed out again. The reclaim log carries part 1's long-write watchdog identifiers, including ones already deferred into its pending report (invalidation would otherwise suppress that report). Wedged sessions are fenced from further teardown and closed for bookkeeping via a cleanup task owned until completion and drained at close_db. PostgreSQL teardown is untouched, and in-memory SQLite keeps the unbounded path: its one shared connection is the whole database and cannot starve other writers.

When a reclaimed rollback remains pending as the FastAPI lifespan reaches close_db(), this callback is the only application-level ownership attached to it: the abandoned task itself is never added to _wedged_teardown_cleanup_tasks. Consequently, close_db() can observe an empty set and return while the rollback is still pending; it can also miss the bookkeeping-close task if the rollback finishes and schedules that task after the one-time set snapshot. The event loop may then close with either task pending, so register the abandoned work immediately and drain the teardown registry until it is stable or explicitly bounded.

Largely addressed by 474d404 (posted against 1c84167): the abandoned task is registered in _wedged_teardown_cleanup_tasks inside _reclaim_wedged_sqlite_session, and close_db now drains the registry until stable under one bounded deadline (app/db/session.py close_db loop), with an asyncio.sleep(0) per iteration so a bookkeeping close scheduled after the first snapshot is picked up — both scenarios are pinned by test_close_db_drains_a_pending_reclaimed_rollback_and_its_bookkeeping_close and test_close_db_bounds_the_wedged_teardown_drain.
One residual window did remain: registration happened after the reclaim's await driver.interrupt(), so a close_db racing exactly into that await could still see an empty registry. Fixed in acd609f — the task is now added to the registry before the reclaim's first await (completion callbacks still attach only after invalidation, so the deferred bookkeeping close never touches a live connection).

Re-verified against the current head ef831bf — both halves of this finding are already fixed, twice over:
(a) The abandoned task is registered before any await in the reclaim path. _reclaim_wedged_sqlite_session adds the abandoned task to _wedged_teardown_cleanup_tasks at app/db/session.py L568, before the coroutine's first await (the driver.interrupt() result await at L585-587). The callers (_safe_rollback/_safe_close) await the reclaim coroutine immediately after _shielded_bounded returns the abandoned task, with no suspension point in between, so a concurrent close_db can never observe an empty registry while the rollback is still pending. 474d404 introduced the registration; acd609f moved it ahead of the first await.
(b) close_db drains until stable, under an explicit bound. L946-968: it loops while _wedged_teardown_cleanup_tasks under one deadline (2× the teardown timeout), re-snapshotting the registry each iteration and yielding once (await asyncio.sleep(0), L968) after each asyncio.wait so the call_soon'd done callbacks run before the next stability check. The bookkeeping close chained by _finish_abandoned_teardown cannot be missed: the discard callback is registered before the finish callback (L612-613), and the finish callback registers the follow-up cleanup_task in the same registry (L643-644) before the waiter wakes, so the next loop iteration sees it. A teardown still wedged despite the reclaim hits the deadline and is abandoned with an explicit warning — bounded, not skipped.
No remaining window; no code change made for this thread.

This is the fourth identical posting of this finding — it has been addressed across three rounds and the current head keeps both properties it asks for: the abandoned task enters _wedged_teardown_cleanup_tasks at app/db/session.py L568, before the reclaim's first await (L585), and close_db() drains the registry in a stability loop under an explicit 2× deadline (L946-968). See the rebuttals with line citations on the two earlier threads (commits 474d404, acd609f). Leaving this to the maintainer to dismiss if the bot re-posts again.
…b drain The reclaimed rollback/close task was never registered in _wedged_teardown_cleanup_tasks — only the late bookkeeping close was — so close_db could return while the abandoned teardown was still pending, and its one-shot gather snapshot missed the bookkeeping close scheduled after an abandoned task completed mid-drain. Register the abandoned task in the registry immediately, and make close_db drain the registry until stable under one explicit deadline (2x the teardown bound) so a teardown still wedged despite the reclaim cannot wedge shutdown either.

close_db()disposes the module-global engines, not the test-local engine.Both tests call
session_module.close_db(), which runsawait engine.dispose()and disposes_background_engineat module scope. The tests only need the drain behavior. Any later test in the same session that relies onsession_module.engineinherits a disposed engine. SQLAlchemy rebuilds the pool on next use, so this usually recovers, but the dependency is implicit and order-sensitive.Consider adding an autouse fixture that restores the module engines, or split the drain loop into a helper such as

…as in-memory Without a truthy uri query parameter the pysqlite/aiosqlite dialects never enable SQLite URI mode: sqlite+aiosqlite:///file:shared?mode=memory&cache=shared connects to a file literally named "file:shared", so the teardown classifier must keep it on the bounded (file-backed) path instead of granting it the unbounded in-memory shield. URI-form in-memory detection is now gated on uri=true plus SQLite's own file: prefix requirement. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Part 2 of the 3-part plan on #1682 (part 1: #1752, the long-write watchdog; part 3, dashboard surfacing, remains open).
Problem
On a single-instance SQLite deployment, a wedged session teardown produced a self-sustaining ~17-minute
database is lockedstall (104 errors), during which leader re-election starved behind the very contention its loss caused — thescheduler_leaderINSERT is just another writer in the queue.Root cause
app/db/session.pyshields the teardown's rollback/close unboundedly (_shieldedawaits the task to completion even across cancellation). A rollback queued behind a stuck aiosqlite worker therefore pins SQLite's single writer slot with nothing to reclaim it. Critically — as called out in the issue plan — merely abandoning the wedged await releases nothing: the aiosqlite worker thread still holds the lock, and with NullPool the connection is never returned for anyone else to clean up.Fix
_shielded_boundedkeeps the shield against caller cancellation but gives up waiting afterbusy_timeout / 6(5s) — reclaimed long before other writers exhaust their 30s busy timeout, so they never surfacedatabase is locked.sqlite3_interruptruns inline on the loop task, aborting the C-level call the worker is stuck in) and the syncConnectionis invalidated. Invalidation takes SQLAlchemy's non-greenlet terminate path → aiosqlitestop()→ hard close of the underlyingsqlite3connection: the writer slot is released, the worker thread is disposed, and the connection can never be handed out again.session.infoso no later teardown drives it concurrently with the abandoned greenlet; when the abandoned work finishes late, its error is consumed and a bounded bookkeepingcloseruns as a task owned in_wedged_teardown_cleanup_tasksand drained byclose_db()(never fire-and-forget).OpenSpec:
openspec/changes/bound-sqlite-wedged-teardown/(validated--strict), mirroring part 1's change.Sequencing note
The owner deliberately did not ship this blind before watchdog data. The mechanism here does not guess at the holder: the bound derives from the existing busy timeout (no new settings), the reclaim is precisely "release whatever the wedged connection holds", and the watchdog's attribution is preserved in the reclaim report — so production watchdog sightings remain fully diagnosable after this lands.
Test evidence
RED/GREEN regression (
tests/unit/test_db_session.py):test_close_session_reclaims_a_wedged_sqlite_rollback_so_other_writers_recover— wedges the driver's rollback on a real file DB holding the writer slot; on the pre-fix unbounded pathclose_sessionnever returns (verified RED by forcing the unbounded path: returned-within-2s = False), with the fix it returns within the bound, the driver is interrupted, the connection invalidated, the reclaim log carriesDELETE FROM accountsfrom the part-1 watchdog, and an independent writer with a 1s busy timeout succeeds immediately while the rollback is still wedged. Also covers fencing, late completion, and the owned cleanup task draining._shielded_boundedunit tests: completes fast work, abandons (without cancelling) at the deadline, absorbs caller cancellation like the existing shield.test_close_session_keeps_the_unbounded_shield_for_non_sqlite_sessions— pg-dialect session with rollback/close 10× slower than the bound still runs to completion, never reclaimed.test_close_session_never_reclaims_the_shared_in_memory_sqlite_connection— slow in-memory teardown is not reclaimed; schema/data survive.test_close_session_bounds_a_wedged_sqlite_close_without_a_transaction— the close step alone is bounded and fenced.Suites:

R1 found a P1 (reclaim would destroy the shared in-memory SQLite database) — fixed by excluding in-memory from the bounded path + regression test.
