A restore never runs beside a backup pass or another large job: the
heavy lane puts its delivery back in the queue for a minute at a time.
The job's own row says queued for the whole wait, and the console said
the restore starts "as soon as the background worker picks it up",
which read as a stuck worker while a backup ran.
The status routes now ask the queue. A delivery the lane put back sits
in created with a start_after ahead of now, and the active row of a
heavy queue is what holds the lane. The job view carries
waiting: "backup" | "busy" | null, and the console says it waits for
the running backup, or for another large job, and since when it has
been queued, in all nine locales. A queue that cannot be asked answers
no wait and is reported at warn.
The job view and its reads move to backup-restore-view.ts, which keeps
the worker module under its size baseline.
A restore now leaves out measurement tombstones deleted longer ago than
the tombstone retention. The nightly purge removes exactly those rows,
the delta feed answers cursorExpired for every cursor that could still
be served one, and the consolidation repairs look only inside the same
horizon. Younger tombstones keep their readers (a lagging paired client,
the undo of a recent delete, the repairs, the duplicate guard on
re-uploaded samples) and are written as before. The backup file is
unchanged. On a seeded account of 1.89 million readings whose 1.68
million tombstones were past retention, the restore on a slowed database
took 5.4 min instead of 15.
The rollup fold after the commit rebuilt five years of buckets under the
60 s request statement limit and could be dropped on a slow disk, leaving
the charts empty until the next boot. `recomputeUserRollups` takes a
`statementTimeoutMs` that scopes each aggregate and persist transaction
with SET LOCAL, and the restore passes its after-commit allowance.
Fixture tombstones in two round-trip tests were dated in July 2026 and
had aged past the retention; they are now relative to the run.
A restore of an account with 1.9 million readings, most of them deleted
by the nightly consolidation and still awaiting the purge, was cancelled
in its clearing step: `DELETE FROM measurements` ran past the 60 s
statement timeout every pooled connection carries, and the whole restore
rolled back with a message that named no cause (#1031).
Most of that statement was not the delete. Two columns point into
`measurements` with ON DELETE SET NULL and had no index, so Postgres
scanned `personal_records` and `ecg_recordings` once per deleted reading:
38 of 40 s on a seeded account with 300 personal records. Migration 0362
indexes both, which also speeds up the tombstone purge and account
deletion.
The restore transaction now sets its own statement and idle-in-transaction
limits to the transaction budget with SET LOCAL, and the budget counts
the rows the account holds as well as the rows the file carries. A
rolled-back restore names what the database refused it over (timeout,
lock, constraint, storage, connection, other) on the job row, the
console, the audit row and the wide event.
