From 956ce20e638a2f49a3fd2802a5284b51c2ac262e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Johnston Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 10:01:49 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Store the user-directory temp position as BIGINT MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The `populate_user_directory` background update stored its stream position in a `TEXT` column (`_temp_populate_user_directory_position.position`) but wrote an int into it and read it back into the `BIGINT` `user_directory_stream_pos.stream_id` — the one place in the storage layer that bound an int to a text column (and a numeric string back to an int column). This only worked because psycopg2 coerces such literals; the native Rust driver binds typed parameters and rejects the mismatch. Fix it at the source: make the temp column `BIGINT`, matching the value it holds (and `update_user_directory_stream_pos`'s `int` type hint, which the `TEXT` column had been quietly violating). The temp table is created and dropped within the background update, so there's no migration. Tested: user_directory storage + handler tests pass on all three backends (psycopg2, sqlite, Rust).
