Summary

Implements the extension side of swamp-club/swamp#1720 — two-phase sync
(preparePush/commitPush) for both @swamp/s3-datastore and
@swamp/gcs-datastore.

The current single-phase push holds the global lock for the entire sync
(file upload + index write), serializing all concurrent writers. Two-phase
sync narrows the critical section:

1. preparePush() — uploads files outside the global lock
2. commitPush(manifest) — merges index entries under the global lock (fast)

Concurrent writers to different models now overlap on the expensive file
I/O and serialize only on the fast index merge.

Changes

• interfaces.ts (both S3 and GCS): Add twoPhaseSync capability,
  PushManifest opaque type, preparePush/commitPush methods to
  DatastoreSyncService
• s3_cache_sync.ts: Implement preparePush (walk + upload without
  index write) and commitPush (fresh index pull, merge, write back).
  Advertise twoPhaseSync: true
• gcs_cache_sync.ts: Same implementation adapted for GCS client API
• s3_lock.ts: Fix pre-existing Timeout type error (number →
  ReturnType<typeof setInterval>)
• Manifests: Bump both to 2026.06.30.2, update descriptions

Why this is correct

• preparePush never touches the remote index — it uploads files and
  returns an opaque manifest. If it fails, no index corruption occurs.
• commitPush always reads the fresh remote index — another writer may
  have committed between phases, so the merge is against current state, not
  a stale snapshot.
• pushChanged is unchanged — zero regression for older core versions
  that don't know about two-phase sync. They continue using the single-phase
  path.
• Backward compatible — extensions advertise twoPhaseSync: true but
  older cores ignore the capability entirely.

Verification

• Unit tests: 168/168 S3 tests pass, 163/163 GCS tests pass (10 new
  two-phase tests total)
• Type check, lint, fmt: Clean on both extensions
• Integration (MinIO + fake-gcs-server): Both extensions loaded via
  swamp extension source add, model created and run, core dispatched
  through the two-phase path:

  Preparing push (uploading files)...
  Committing index update...
  Committed 14 file(s) to datastore index
  

• Fast path: Re-push after clean sync returns 0 files on both

Closes swamp-club#829

feat(datastores): two-phase sync for S3 and GCS (swamp-club#829) ... ef9a1064c0

Implement preparePush/commitPush on both S3CacheSyncService and
GcsCacheSyncService so swamp core can split the push into file uploads
(outside the global lock) and index merge (under the global lock).

This narrows the critical section from "entire sync" to "index
read-modify-write" only, letting concurrent writers to different models
overlap on the expensive file I/O phase.

Also fixes a pre-existing Timeout type error in s3_lock.ts.

Blocking Issues

None.

Suggestions

1. Dead code in gcs_cache_sync.ts:1512 (new in this PR)

   Inside preparePush's bulk-walk deletion block:

   if (this.dirtyPathsOverflowed && !this.lazyPullActive && this.index) {
     for (const key of Object.keys(this.index.entries)) {
       if (isInternalCacheFile(key)) continue;
       if (localFiles.has(key)) continue;
       if (this.lazyPullActive && isLazySkippable(key)) continue;  // always false
       toDelete.push(key);
     }
   }
   

   The outer guard requires !this.lazyPullActive, so the inner this.lazyPullActive && is always false and the continue is unreachable. The S3 equivalent (s3_cache_sync.ts) correctly omits this line. The same dead code exists in the pre-existing pushChanged at line 1291 (out of scope for this PR), but since preparePush is new code, it's a clean-copy opportunity to drop it.

2. s3_lock.ts change touches adjacent code (CLAUDE.md: "Only touch what's necessary")

   The type change from private heartbeatId: number | undefined to ReturnType<typeof setInterval> | undefined is unrelated to two-phase sync. In Deno, setInterval returns number, so ReturnType<typeof setInterval> resolves to number — the change is semantically a no-op. It's a benign quality improvement but it modifies code outside the scope of this PR.

3. commitPush ignores options?.namespace in both implementations

   preparePush calls this.bindNamespace(options?.namespace), but commitPush only extracts signal from options and ignores the namespace field. For the current intended usage (same service instance for both phases) this is harmless since the binding from preparePush persists on the instance. It's worth a comment noting that commitPush assumes the namespace is already bound, or a guard that calls bindNamespace defensively.

4. Round-trip test only checks index entry keys, not values

   The preparePush + commitPush round-trip matches pushChanged behavior test asserts that both approaches produce the same set of entry keys but doesn't verify that the SHA-256, size, or lastModified values match. A content-level assertion would give stronger confidence in parity.

Adversarial Review

Medium

1. Stale manifest can overwrite concurrent index updates (both S3 and GCS preparePush/commitPush)

   preparePush uploads objects to the remote and captures their sha256 in the manifest. commitPush then re-pulls the current index (forceRemote: true) and merges the manifest entries on top. If another process ran pushChanged (or its own preparePush+commitPush) between phases and uploaded different content for the same key, the merge produces an inconsistent state:

   • Concrete scenario: Process A calls preparePush(), uploads data/model-x/file.yaml with sha256=aaa…. Process B runs pushChanged() with the lock, uploads data/model-x/file.yaml with sha256=bbb… (overwrites A's object in storage), writes index with sha256: bbb…. Process A then calls commitPush() with the lock, pulls the fresh index (contains B's sha256), merges A's manifest on top (overwrites with sha256: aaa…), writes index. Result: Index claims sha256=aaa…, but the stored object has B's content (sha256=bbb…).

   • Impact: SHA-256 mismatch between the index and remote storage. Downstream consumers that verify content integrity will see corruption.

   • Mitigation: This depends on the caller's locking protocol. If the global lock is held for both phases (prepare + commit), this race can't occur. But the stated design intent is "narrow the global-lock critical section," implying preparePush runs outside the lock. The interface contract (interfaces.ts) does not document the expected locking discipline.

   • Suggested fix: Either (a) document that the caller MUST hold the lock across both phases (which reduces the benefit but prevents the race), or (b) have commitPush re-verify that each uploaded key's sha256 still matches what's in remote storage before merging, or (c) use conditional writes (S3: If-None-Match, GCS: ifGenerationMatch) during the preparePush upload so a concurrent overwrite causes preparePush to fail rather than silently losing.

   Files:

   • datastore/gcs/extensions/datastores/_lib/gcs_cache_sync.ts:1415-1614 (preparePush)
   • datastore/gcs/extensions/datastores/_lib/gcs_cache_sync.ts:1617-1681 (commitPush)
   • datastore/s3/extensions/datastores/_lib/s3_cache_sync.ts:1574-1776 (preparePush)
   • datastore/s3/extensions/datastores/_lib/s3_cache_sync.ts:1779-1843 (commitPush)

2. commitPush does not write back zombie-scrubbed index (both S3 and GCS)

   When preparePush returns an empty manifest (fast-path, or nothing dirty), commitPush enters the early-return branch (data.pushed === 0 && data.deleted === 0). This branch calls pullIndex({ forceRemote: true }), which may scrub zombie entries via scrubIndex() and set this.indexMutated = true. But commitPush never checks indexMutated — it returns 0 without writing the cleaned index back to the remote.

   In contrast, pushChanged explicitly checks this.indexMutated in its writeback condition (pushed > 0 || deleted > 0 || this.indexMutated).

   • Concrete scenario: Remote index has a zombie internal-cache-file entry (e.g., .datastore-index.json referencing itself). preparePush finds nothing to push. commitPush pulls the index, scrubIndex() removes the zombie, sets indexMutated = true, but commitPush returns 0 without writing back. The zombie persists in the remote index until a future push with actual file changes.

   • Impact: Zombie entries persist longer than they would with pushChanged. Low practical impact since zombies are inert metadata, but it's a behavioral divergence between the two code paths that could surprise callers or mask a scrubIndex regression.

   • Suggested fix: In commitPush, check this.indexMutated in the early-return branch and write back if set, mirroring pushChanged's behavior.

   Files:

   • datastore/gcs/extensions/datastores/_lib/gcs_cache_sync.ts:1624-1641
   • datastore/s3/extensions/datastores/_lib/s3_cache_sync.ts:1786-1803

Low

1. GCS preparePush: dead isLazySkippable guard in full-walk branch

   At gcs_cache_sync.ts:1512, inside the else (full-walk) branch:

   if (this.dirtyPathsOverflowed && !this.lazyPullActive && this.index) {
     // ...
     if (this.lazyPullActive && isLazySkippable(key)) continue; // dead code
   }
   

   The outer if requires !this.lazyPullActive, so the inner this.lazyPullActive check is always false. This is dead code — isLazySkippable is never reached. The S3 preparePush correctly omits this guard. Note: this is a pre-existing issue copied from pushChanged (line 1291), not a new bug.

   File: datastore/gcs/extensions/datastores/_lib/gcs_cache_sync.ts:1512

2. No runtime validation of manifest in commitPush

   commitPush casts the opaque PushManifest to InternalPushManifest via as unknown as. If a corrupted or foreign manifest is passed (e.g., from serialization across process boundaries, or from a different extension version), the code would silently merge garbage into the index. The branded type provides compile-time safety but no runtime guard.

   This is unlikely in practice since core treats the manifest as opaque passthrough within a single process, but worth noting for future resilience if the manifest ever crosses a serialization boundary.

   Files:

   • datastore/gcs/extensions/datastores/_lib/gcs_cache_sync.ts:1621
   • datastore/s3/extensions/datastores/_lib/s3_cache_sync.ts:1783

Verdict

PASS — The implementation is structurally sound: it correctly splits the upload and index-write phases, re-fetches the remote index in commitPush to merge against current state, handles abort signals consistently, and mirrors the existing pushChanged error-handling patterns. The concurrent-overwrite race (Medium #1) is a design-level concern that depends on the caller's locking protocol rather than a code bug, and the zombie-scrub gap (Medium #2) is a minor behavioral divergence with negligible practical impact. The s3_lock.ts type fix and interface additions are clean. Tests cover the core contract (prepare uploads without indexing, commit merges and writes index, round-trip parity with pushChanged, fast-path no-op).
