fix(app-state): decode gzip peer recovery without bypassing snapshot MAC - #1698
Conversation
Peer snapshot recovery now also accepts gzip and raw deflate replies and reports the header of one it cannot read. When recovery fails, the collection's next snapshot is applied despite the aggregate MAC mismatch, with every record still checked on its own, instead of staying empty.

…ccount The tolerance lived in a process-wide static keyed by collection name and was never cleared, so one account's failed recovery waived the aggregate MAC for every account in the process, for every later snapshot. It now lives on the AppStateProcessor and is spent by the next snapshot of that collection, applied or not. Non-zlib recovery payloads must also end exactly where the payload does: a gzip reader stops after its first member and a raw deflate one after its final block, which would apply a parseable prefix as the whole collection. The fallback resync now reports collections it left unsynced instead of only hard errors.
…llback A fallback resync can end without processing a snapshot (refused, stale, or failed request), which left the grant for whatever snapshot of that collection came next, possibly much later. Withdraw it once the attempt it was granted for is over.
A re-link confirmed the primary sends its snapshot recovery as gzip (header 1f 8b 08 00). Drop the speculative raw deflate fallback.

… it for unusable answers A recovery that failed to decode after a reconnect granted the snapshot MAC tolerance and resynced on the replacement connection. The fallback now takes the generation of the connection the recovery belongs to and does nothing once it has changed. An answer with no result, no collection, or a payload over the limit spent the request without falling back, leaving the collection stuck. They now fall back too, when they are the ones that spent it.

…nection inside the fallback A recovery refused for carrying too many records, or for naming another collection, spent the request without falling back, leaving the collection stuck behind its snapshot MAC. Both now fall back like an undecodable one. The fallback checked the connection only before spawning its task, so a reconnect before the task ran let it grant the MAC tolerance and resync on the replacement. The task now rechecks before the grant and after it.

Requesting changes for the additional WhatsApp Web parity issue in the inline comment. Please keep this PR focused on the gzip decompression fix, which matches the inspected Web recovery path and resolves the reported account's problem.
The generation/grant lifecycle findings are already covered by the existing recovery-generation thread and grant-consumption thread, so I am not adding duplicate inline reports.
For the retained decompression fix, please add a regression using a synthetic encoded SyncdSnapshotRecovery in a gzip response with is_compressed = true, exercising the actual recovery decode path. The current gzip tests cover stream framing but would not catch a regression in format selection or protobuf decoding.
Validation: static review of head 27bfa7c and AST-extracted modules from the hash-verified whatspec capture. Rust tests were not run locally because this environment has no Rust toolchain.

The CodSpeed alert is qualified by a pinned comparison on one runner; it was not a demonstrated receive-path regression introduced by this PR. The original report compared fb97031 with dabf110 and flagged dm_receive at 759.5 → 1,207.2 µs, while warning about different environments. Its flamegraphs put essentially the entire 447.6 µs delta in _int_malloc/malloc_consolidate. Decryption remained about 177 µs, and both SHAs allocated exactly 11,198 bytes in 27 calls with a 10,468-byte peak. A repeat of the unchanged head changed DM to 1,107.1 µs and also changed the activity memory classification. The original cross-run headline is therefore not a reliable estimate of this patch's cost. The paired CI qualification completed successfully. It pins base fb97031 and head dabf110, and measures both sequentially on the same host, target, nightly compiler, glibc, executor versions, and malloc settings. Manifests, lockfiles, harnesses, and normalized benchmark workloads are checked for equality. The artifact preserves those checks and both raw profiles.
The paired CodSpeed run uses base_fb970318_ and head_dabf1100_ labels; its aggregate commit is the upload identity, not the identity of every benchmark. DM is 0.12% faster, burst cost differs by 0.11%, and the reported activity peak regression does not reproduce. Both DM flamegraphs now show _int_malloc around 829 µs and decrypt around 177 µs. The expensive Box::pin in receive.rs:706 is inherited from #1679, as confirmed by blame; receive.rs, the receive harness, and its benchmarks are unchanged by #1698. #1716 addresses that shared cost separately. This qualification does not claim that libc's heap history can never vary or that CPU simulation measures syscall-heavy walltime; the complete-lifecycle simulation includes a syscall warning. No performance threshold, CI gate, or production behavior was weakened, and no performance build was run on the laptop. |
A primary device can return a snapshot recovery flagged
is_compressedin gzip format. The existing zlib-only decoder rejects that response, leaving the collection behind its failed snapshot validation. Decode complete gzip recoveries as well as zlib, with the same decompressed-size ceiling.The automatic aggregate snapshot-MAC bypass has been removed. Unusable peer replies release their request marker and preserve strict snapshot validation. Valid replies must also match the generation recorded when the request was made; retired replies are rejected before decoding. Recovery waits up to 60 seconds for an authenticated, reachable connection before binding each request to its socket and generation. A reconnect releases that request and permits one retry, for at most two attempts. Superseded generations do not suppress a fresh request, and an older sender cannot replace a newer marker.
Local validation: the complete client library suite with
tracingpassed 2,689 tests (three skipped). Client Clippy with all targets,tracing, and-D warnings, formatting, and whitespace checks passed. The authentication regression was also run against the prior behavior and failed as expected before applying the fix. The final GitHub matrix completed with 38 passing checks, three expected skips, and two neutral optional checks, including Rust CI, Supply Chain, WASM, API Consumers, Miri, and Binary Size. E2E and integration benchmarks are skipped by the external-fork secret gate; the push-only binary job is also skipped. The optional cubic and CodSpeed comparison checks conclude neutral. No gates or budgets were changed.Validation covers the actual PDO recovery decoder with synthetic gzip/zlib/raw protobuf payloads, checksum corruption, truncated streams, extra gzip members, trailing bytes, invalid protobufs, and the gzip size boundary. Recovery tests cover replay/stale versions, persistence failure and retry, request consumption, and retired connection generations. Main is integrated through

Performance qualification: a pinned comparison on one runner did not reproduce the cross-run CodSpeed regressions. DM was 1,184.765 → 1,183.322 µs, with identical allocation counts and bytes; SQLite activity peak was exactly 1,963,718 B on both SHAs. The complete client lifecycle peak differed by two bytes. The triage includes raw-profile provenance, paired labels, inherited #1679 allocator cost, and measurement limits. No thresholds or CI gates were changed.
