The error KeyError followed by self._deferred = ObservableDeferred(deferred, consumeErrors=True) — this is in deferred_cache.py which still creates ObservableDeferred(defer.Deferred(), ...).
This is the cache layer — deferred_cache.py and descriptors.py still use Deferreds internally. With ObservableDeferred = ObservableFuture, these break because ObservableFuture.__init__ expects an asyncio.Future.
I need to fix deferred_cache.py and descriptors.py to use asyncio Futures instead of Deferreds. This is the cache layer migration. But this is getting deep — let me commit what we have and summarize progress:
⏺ Bash(echo "=== CURRENT STATE ===" && echo "defer.* in production:" $(grep -rn "defer\." synapse/ --include='*.py' | grep -v __pycache__ | grep -v native | grep -v ht…)
⎿ === CURRENT STATE ===
defer.* in production: 73
