fix(server): deleted threads release their stored history - #32378
Deleting a thread is a soft delete. thread.deleted sets deleted_at on the thread row, and every projection row the thread owns stays in statev2.sqlite for good: turn items and their positions, nodes, messages, runs, attempts, provider turns, checkpoints, subagents and the rest. Reads filter them out, so the data can never be shown again, but it still takes space and t3 doctor --fix has nothing to reclaim. #17845 has row counts from several installs.
On my install (macOS, 0.1.8-nightly.20261107.4301), I deleted 3,475 threads and t3 doctor --dry-run still reported 0 KiB reclaimable. Removing those threads' projection rows by hand and then running t3 doctor --fix took the file from 10.97 GiB to 4.12 GiB. This PR makes the server do that itself.
Change
ProjectionMaintenance.pruneEventStore already prunes events older than RETAINED_EVENT_HISTORY (#29806). It now also purges the projection content of threads deleted longer ago than that same window:
What it keeps. The thread row stays as the tombstone, because verification, storage cleanup, guest share and continuation all read only that row's deletedAt. context_transfers stays because a live thread can be its other endpoint. A provider session is removed only when no surviving thread is bound to it.
Forks. A run-fork reads inherited history from its source's runs and turn items. A deleted thread is skipped while any live fork, or any fork deleted within the window, inherits from it, including through chains of deleted middle links.
Pacing. Each statement deletes at most 500 rows by rowid and commits on its own, and yieldNow plus betweenPages run between batches. So a thread with 100k messages never holds the writer for one long transaction. The message FTS rows go with their messages through the existing delete trigger.
Window. It uses RETAINED_EVENT_HISTORY (1 day). There is no restore event, and the events a thread could be replayed from are already pruned after that window.
Drift guard. The purged tables are one exported constant, THREAD_CONTENT_TABLES. A test fails when a new orchestration_v2_projection_* table with a thread_id column isn't classified as purged or kept.
The maintenance result gains purgedProjectionRowCount, and DatabaseStorage logs a pass that only purged.
Scope and approval
Fixes#17845. It also covers the "prune for deleted threads" part of #28903. It builds on the maintainer decision in #29806 that applied projections are the source of truth, and it doesn't overlap #28144, which prunes event history. If the direction needs explicit approval first, I'm happy to wait on the issue.
Verification
New ProjectionMaintenance.test.ts cases, all passing:
A thread deleted beyond the window is purged: items, positions, messages and FTS matches go to 0, and the thread row stays.
A thread deleted within the window is kept until the clock moves past it.
A live thread's projection is identical before and after.
A deleted root → deleted middle → live run-fork chain keeps its content, while an unrelated deleted thread is purged. This test fails when the fork filter is removed.
A thread with 1,200 rows is purged in bounded batches, with betweenPages called between them.
A second run reports 0.
The drift guard described above.
vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionMaintenance.test.ts: 7/7 pass. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck and tests pass.
Manual: the 10.97 → 4.12 GiB result above came from the same table set run as a one-off SQL purge on a real database. T3 started cleanly afterwards, and the thread list and thread reads worked. I haven't run this new code path against that database.

Deleting a thread only set deleted_at, so its runs, messages, turn items and
other projection rows stayed in SQLite forever and `t3 doctor --fix` had
nothing to reclaim. Background compaction now purges that content once a
thread has been deleted for longer than the retained event history. The thread
row stays as the tombstone.

Deleted threads that a surviving run-fork inherits history from, directly or
through a chain of forks, keep their content. Purging deletes at most 500 rows
per statement and yields between batches, so one very large thread no longer
holds the writer.

A live run-fork created from a deleted source while this purge is running loses the source's runs and turn items, truncating its inherited history. threadIds is selected before the yields and batched deletes, so a fork committed afterward is not reflected in the exclusion; revalidate dependencies atomically with deletion and coordinate with fork creation so it cannot commit against a source being purged.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Background maintenance will permanently purge content from threads deleted for at least one day, changing default retention behavior. Human confirmation of that policy is required; the supplied concurrency finding also identifies potential loss of live forks’ inherited history.

Maintenance now purges projection content for sufficiently old deleted threads, while retaining tombstones and content needed by surviving forks or pending merge-backs. It reports the number of purged rows, and compaction logging includes that count.

Summary
Select and purge eligible thread content apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionMaintenance.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionMaintenance.test.ts
Maintenance purges eligible thread content in batches, preserves content referenced by surviving forks or pending merge-backs, and leaves thread tombstones. Tests cover retention, table coverage, dependencies, and large content sets.
Return and log purge counts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionMaintenance.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/DatabaseStorage.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/DatabaseStorage.test.ts
The maintenance result includes purgedProjectionRowCount. Compaction logging triggers when this count is positive, and the empty-result fixture sets it to zero.
This change purges projection content for long-deleted threads. A merge-back accepted while a purge is running can lose its source rows, and the parent thread's next message would then fail. The row count can also be misreported, and the bounded-batch test cannot catch a regression in batching. The race is narrow and the tombstones are retained, but the merge-back race should be closed before merge.

Explanation
The title "fix(server): deleted threads release their stored history" follows conventional commit format and states the main change: purging projection content of deleted threads. The raw summary and objectives confirm that the PR purges projection rows for threads deleted beyond the retention window while keeping the thread tombstone. The title is specific and does not describe anything absent from the changeset.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template well. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections. The Problem section explains the soft-delete behavior and reports reproduction steps and environment (macOS, nightly build, 3,475 threads, t3 doctor results). The Change section explains the pruning behavior, batching, the kept tombstone, forks, and the drift guard. The Scope section links #17845 and #28903 and explains the relation to #29806 and #28144. The Verification section lists specific test cases, commands, and results, and states what was not verified (the new code path against the real database). The description does not include the conventional commit title line in the template comment, but that comment is not required content. The AI-agent attribution line is present at the end. The description is complete and specific.

Explanation
[#17845] The changes in ProjectionMaintenance.ts and its test support the deleted-thread history objective. They cover the projection purge, 500-row batching, the thread tombstone rule, the provider-session rule, and the fork and merge-back guards. The purgedProjectionRowCount result field supports logging and the DatabaseStorage test fixture update. The Orchestrator.ts change is a comment only. The reported changes do not show unrelated functional work. The summary is the evidence for file scope. Source for the fork and merge-back guards was not re-read in this review. The PR description also mentions #28903 (deleted-thread pruning). That scope is related to the same purge path and is not evidence of unrelated changes.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
[#17845] The PR purges projection rows (turn items, positions, nodes, messages, FTS rows, runs, attempts, and similar) for threads deleted longer than RETAINED_EVENT_HISTORY. It keeps the thread row as a tombstone. This meets part of the issue. Three requirements remain unmet. (1) Deleted-thread events are not removed. The issue names the events that carry the history as part of the removal. The PR description and the linked-objective summary both state that the thread's events are not purged. (2) The dialog text is unchanged. The issue allows an alternative: change the dialog to say the thread is hidden. The changed files do not include apps/web (Sidebar.tsx, useThreadActions.ts, useThreadActionMenu.ts). (3) Content inherited by live forks is retained indefinitely. A deleted thread is skipped while any live fork inherits from it. This is a documented design choice, not removal. The new tests cover projection rows, forks, and batching. They do not assert event removal or dialog behavior. The fork-refusal and merge-back changes in dispatchThreadFork support the purge. They do not satisfy the event or dialog requirement.
Resolution
[#17845] Choose one path and implement it with tests. Option A: remove the deleted thread's events and receipts that carry the purged content, after the same retention window, and keep the thread tombstone. Add a test that asserts event rows for a purged deleted thread are removed. Option B: change the dialog text in apps/web/src/components/Sidebar.tsx (bulk and single delete), apps/web/src/hooks/useThreadActions.ts, and apps/web/src/hooks/useThreadActionMenu.ts so the text says the thread is hidden, not cleared. Add a test for the changed text. In either option, state the handling for live-fork inheritance. Either bound the retained content or document it as an explicit exception to the issue.

The batches >= 3 assertion cannot fail, so it does not test batching.
betweenPages runs once per deleteBatches iteration for every table. It also runs in pruneImportedLegacyHistory. Without any batching, a single pass already calls it about 18 times. The test therefore passes even if ROW_BATCH_SIZE is set to a huge value or the loop never repeats. Only the positions === 0 assertion catches a real regression, and it also passes when batching is broken.
Tie the expected count to the batch structure instead. The 1,201 position rows need 3 iterations. Every other table, the sessions statement, and the bindings statement need 1 each. The legacy prune loops call it twice.
🧪 Proposed assertion
- assert.isAtLeast(batches, 3);+ // legacy loops (2) + one iteration per table and session/binding statement + 2 extra position batches+ assert.isAtLeast(batches, 2 + ProjectionMaintenance.THREAD_CONTENT_TABLES.length + 2 + 2);
As per path instructions, hold changed tests to docs/internals/testing.md: tests should "catch a real regression", and this assertion cannot.

Preserve sources of pending merge-back transfers
After merging a fork/side chat back, a user can delete the source and leave the parent idle beyond the one-day retention window. This filter then purges the source despite the parent's still-pending merge_back transfer. Orchestrator.ts:7305–7346 resolves that transfer's source run and provider thread on the next message, so it now fails with has no resolvable source run; starting a fresh session is also rejected while the transfer is pending. Retaining the transfer row alone is insufficient: exclude sources—and their required ancestors—of pending transfers to surviving threads from the purge.

Main added orchestration_v2_projection_turn_item_counts, a WITHOUT ROWID table that triggers on projection_turn_items keep exact, so purging turn items already clears it.

The purge kept deleted threads that a live run-fork inherits from, but a pending merge-back into a live thread still resolves its source run, and a run fork could still be created from a deleted source after the purge chose it. Keep pending merge-back sources, and refuse every fork of a deleted thread, not only side chats.

Main now refuses and source-locks every fork of a deleted thread, so the duplicate fork test from this branch is dropped.

Keep the delete and its row count in one statement or one writer transaction.
deleteBatches reads changes() in a separate statement after the DELETE. Each statement releases the writer permit. A foreground write can run between them on the same connection. changes() then returns that write's count. The loop can stop after one batch, leaving rows for a later pass, and the reported purgedProjectionRowCount is too low.
Return the deleted rows from the delete statement and count them, or run the delete and the count read in one transaction. Keep the yields outside that transaction.

Prevent new merge-back dependencies during the purge.
An old deleted fork can enter threadIds before it has a pending merge-back. During this yield or a later betweenPages, dispatchThreadMergeBack can accept a transfer into its live parent; that handler does not reject deleted sources. The purge still deletes the selected fork's runs and provider threads. The parent's next message then fails because the pending transfer has no resolvable source run. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Reject new merge-backs from deleted sources before they commit, or coordinate dependency creation with deletion. The initial dependency query alone does not protect the later batches.
