fix(server): PR sync reads share GitHub requests again on busy servers - #28422
The background PR sync is meant to read up to 25 PRs per GitHub GraphQL request. On a busy server it sends far smaller batches. One server with 256 linked PRs sent 128 summary requests for 201 PRs in under three minutes: 88 carried a single PR.
The sweep runs 25 groups at a time, to match the batch. The resolver only batches reads that reach it within 10 ms, and each read first passes its persisted cache check, which took 17 to 578 ms on that server. So a wave that starts together splits into several requests, and each freed slot then starts one group whose read goes out alone. This is the collapse reported in #18295.
Change
On a host that batches summary reads, the sweep now runs up to 100 groups at once instead of 25, so reads that clear their cache checks within the same 10 ms share a request.
Providers declare batchesReads on PullRequestProviderApi, and only GitHub sets it. Other hosts read one PR at a time, some through a CLI process, so they keep 25 in a separate pool that never takes a GitHub slot.
Scope and approval
A focused fix for the recurring summary-batch fragmentation reported in #18295. For maintainers to confirm: on GitHub up to 100 reads can run at once, stack reads included. The 10 ms window stays, since widening it would delay every read outside a full batch.
Verification
vp test run src/orchestration-v2/PullRequestSyncReactor.test.ts: 56 pass. The new test holds 30 GitHub and 30 other-host reads at a gate and expects 30 and 25 in flight. With main's code only 25 start and it times out; with 100 for every host it fails with expected 30 to equal 25.
vp run check:changed: pass.
Live request counts: real dev servers in an isolated home with one project linking 110 PRs from this repo (109 open, one merged), and a read-only fetch observer counting every GitHub GraphQL request. 5 interleaved runs per case on a 32-core Linux machine, each from the same state with the PR read cache cleared. "Loaded" pins the server and three CPU-bound processes to one core (main's cache-check p90: 135 to 372 ms). Refresh sends one invalidate per linked PR at once. Summary requests, median (range):
Flow main a11ad74 this head fb6031e
Startup sweep, 109 due PRs 29 (27 to 31), n=5 7 (7 to 8), n=5
Same, loaded server 51 (49 to 56), n=5 10 (8 to 11), n=5
Explicit refresh of all 110 19 (14 to 23), n=5 12 (11 to 15), n=5
Batching is still not perfect: reads whose cache checks finish more than 10 ms apart still go out separately. The refresh gain needs #30293, which this branch now includes. An independent run at the earlier head, before #30293, saw a smaller cold-sweep cut (31 to 22 requests).
Not checked: a loaded server with both GitHub and other hosts. The test covers the two pools side by side.
The sweep ran 25 groups at a time to match the 25-PR summary batch. Each
read reaches the batch resolver only after its cache check, which a busy
server spreads over hundreds of milliseconds, so batches split. Every slot
then refilled on its own, and later reads went out about one PR per
request. Run 100 groups at once so a sweep's reads still meet in a batch;
the cap keeps hosts that read each PR separately bounded.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The wider sweep improves GitHub batching but also permits up to 100 simultaneous reads or CLI processes for non-batching providers. Human judgment is needed on that untested cross-provider resource increase or on limiting the wider concurrency to GitHub.

The pull-request sync sweep groups reads by project and host. It selects a concurrency pool based on provider batching capability and rechecks due and pause status before each read. The pull-request service exposes that capability, and the GitHub provider reports support for batched reads.
The provider API adds an optional batchesReads flag. The pull-request service resolves the flag for a reference and returns false if resolution fails. The GitHub provider sets the flag to true.
The sweep groups reads by project and host. It skips paused hosts or hosts without due work, then uses a concurrency limit of 100 for batched reads or 25 for unbatched reads. Each read rechecks due and pause status before calling readGroup.
Concurrency and member-read tests apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/PullRequestSyncReactor.test.ts
The test harness can configure batching behavior. Tests check the two concurrency limits and verify that a stack member’s read starts while the unbatched pool is occupied.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to fb603
This change lets GitHub pull-request reads share requests during sync sweeps, with other providers kept in a separate pool of 25. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains. The reviewer's concern about the pool width is a tuning consideration for the author and is not a defect.

The wider sweep let hosts that read each pull request on its own run up to
100 reads at once. Only GitHub batches summary reads, so providers now say
whether they batch, and the sweep reads the rest in a 25-wide pool beside
the 100-wide batched one.

Folds the batched and unbatched width checks into one test that holds reads at
a Deferred gate and asserts the in-flight counts there, and resolves batching
once per project host per sweep.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A slow or unresolvable project no longer holds back every other host's reads:
each host resolves concurrently and feeds its due groups into the 100-wide or
25-wide permit pool. A host with nothing due skips the lookup. The service
operation gets a named span.

…start
Each host's groups now run in a loop bounded by that host's width, with the
shared permit taken inside the read, so a group a sibling flags for a stack
retry mid-sweep is still read in the same sweep. Hosts paused at sweep start
skip the batching lookup.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
A host's own loop can have room while the shared pool is full, so the due
check now runs inside the permit. A stack retry a sibling flags while another
host holds the slots still counts this sweep.

verified on linux at a79ca6246e1eeeb0f0225028e439f896ee521297, against github/main at 5732bbee397f0a2b0e61d0c2e432f01dca6df3dc. used separate checkouts, vp i, one background dev server at a time, and the web client through playwright with system chrome. the project, threads, and real codex gpt-6.1-sol turns were created through the app. real github links were added through the running server's websocket command path.
the matched cold background sweep used identical copies of app-created state containing 110 real github prs and a gitcafe link. main sent 31 summary requests with at most 25 summary reads in flight. this head sent 22 requests with at most 100 reads in flight. all 110 github summaries succeeded on both versions. the request count fell 29% in this comparison. a read-only fetch observer forwarded requests unchanged; native server traces confirmed concurrency and completion.
a separate explicit-refresh burst used 14 requests on main and 15 on this head, spread over several queued sweeps. that path did not show an improvement here.
nearby behavior worked: codex linked this pr through its real MCP tool, the client displayed the live title and status, and mixed github/gitcafe summary reads succeeded. a startup codex status-probe timeout cleared after restart; real codex turns completed.
blacksmith: 182 focused tests passed. vp run check:changed passed format, lint, knip, graphql generation, 18 package typechecks, and 184 tests. hosted CI reports 28 successful checks, zero failing or pending. no source changes were needed.
native desktop, ios, android, macos, and windows clients were not exercised on this linux vm. a saturated live non-batching provider pool was not exercised; the deterministic 25-read mixed-provider test passed. the author's busier-server severity and 3.5x to 5x request reduction were not reproduced. batching remains fragmented, and the explicit-refresh burst above showed no request-count gain.
@maria-rcks you were right that the 3.5x to 5x came from a harness, so we re-measured on real dev servers (isolated home, 110 linked open PRs, every GitHub GraphQL request counted at the wire, 5 runs per case): the cold background sweep took a median of 30 summary requests on main (d313b2a) and 5 at a79ca62, and 44 against 7 on a loaded server. Your refresh result holds at this head: on its base each PR cache invalidation waits for every in-flight read, so a refresh of all 110 sends 111 requests either way, and only with current main merged (#30293) does it drop from 21 to 13. Reads whose cache checks finish more than 10 ms apart still go out separately, and we don't know why your VM's sweep split into more requests than ours; the description now uses these numbers (raw counts and method).
@maria-rcks the head now includes #30293 (merge fb6031e), so your 11-01 run predates it; re-measured here the same way against main a11ad74 (110 linked PRs, 5 interleaved runs each, median summary requests): startup sweep 29 to 7, loaded server 51 to 10, explicit refresh of all 110 PRs 19 to 12.
Consider a batched pool width below GitHub's 100-request concurrency limit.
The batched pool allows 100 reads in flight. This matches GitHub's documented secondary rate limit. No more than 100 concurrent requests are allowed, and the limit is shared across the REST API and GraphQL API.
The width counts reads, not requests. Reads that share a batch use fewer requests. The PR description says that reads whose cache checks finish more than 10 ms apart can still be sent separately. In that case, a sweep can approach 100 concurrent requests. Interactive reads, detail reads, and writes from the same server also share the limit. If the limit trips, GitHub returns a 403 or 429 response. The rate-limit wrapper then pauses the host.
Choose a width with headroom, such as 50–80. Alternatively, track this risk with a metric. The in-flight request count at the host level would show whether the pause ever fires after this change.
This depends on how often batching fails to coalesce, so treat it as a tuning decision for the author.

On CodeRabbit's nitpick about the batched pool width (PullRequestSyncReactor.ts 609): it can't reach GitHub's 100-concurrent-request limit, because every GitHub REST and GraphQL send already takes one of the 8 shared slots in GitHubRequestPolicy (CONCURRENCY = 8). The width of 100 only lets more reads wait inside the resolver's 10 ms window to share a request, and a secondary-limit 403 or 429 still pauses the host through rateLimitRetryAt, so the width stays as is.
