fix(server): stream the usage-scan cache to disk instead of one string - #34030
Rework item: the real-app run showed head no longer OOMs (it wrote a 361 MB cache and stayed reachable while base died) but kept all seven legacy cache files and the seeded orphan temp folder. Both are named in the issue's expected behaviour, so this commit adds that cleanup and nothing else. In UsageService, after the first successful persist of the current cache in each service lifetime, removeSupersededCacheFiles (1) removes every file in LEGACY_SCAN_CACHE_FILE_NAMES and (2) lists the state directory and recursively removes entries whose name starts with <cache file name>. for the current or a legacy cache name, only when the entry is a directory whose mtime is more than an hour old (STALE_TEMP_DIRECTORY_MS). The age check leaves a write another server sharing the directory is still making untouched; the seeded 2020 usage-scan-cache-v11.json.interrupted folder qualifies. Every step ignores errors, so cleanup can never fail or retry a save. This reverses the earlier deliberate choice to keep legacy files (the doc comment on SCAN_CACHE_FILE_NAME and the upgrade test asserted it, and both are updated). The cost: after a downgrade, an older server finds no cache of its own and rescans, losing saved usage for deleted transcripts; the newer cache keeps everything. No regex was added; name matching is String.startsWith against a fixed list, linear in name length. The streaming write from the previous commit (the OOM fix, which the real-app run confirmed) is unchanged.
Commit 5f2bb93 (origin/main). Generated synthetic Claude Code transcripts in a scratch CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR (2,000 files x 1,000 assistant lines with unique message/request ids and usage, timestamps within the last 30 days), CODEX_HOME pointed at an empty dir. Ran T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=1536 vp run dev, paired a browser tab and opened /usage: the scan finished and wrote a 235 MB usage-scan-cache-v11.json (server RSS ~1.3 GB), no crash. Added 700 more transcripts (2.7M records total), restarted the dev server and opened /usage again: after ~25 s the server child logged Mark-Compact (reduce) 1483.9 (1627.1) -> 1483.9 (1594.4) MB ... last resort; GC in old space requested, then FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory, with a native stack ending in v8::String::ValueView -> node::encoding_binding::BindingData::EncodeUtf8String, the same as the report. The server process died (Failed running 'src/bin.ts'), and an empty orphaned temp folder usage-scan-cache-v11.json.bV7rXg/ was left next to the cache, as the reporter saw.
Evidence
Build each checkout's real server bundle. Use isolated fresh state and the same 2.7 million synthetic transcript records.
Seed seven superseded cache files, two two-hour-old temp directories, and one recent temp directory.
Run with a 1536 MiB old-space limit; call the real usage-summary RPC with awaitRefresh=true; observe persistence and disk cleanup.
Stop base completely before running head. Both captures use Linux x64, Node 26.12.1, and the same 1440×900 dark terminal.
Scan returns 2,700,000 records, then backend aborts in EncodeUtf8String; WebSocket closes 1006. Legacy files and stale directories remain; another orphan appears.
Same record count; saves 363,984,010 bytes and responds HTTP 200 afterward. All seven legacy files and both stale directories disappear; recent directory remains.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Not shown:
Desktop-shell recovery, macOS, mobile, and browser UI behavior were not exercised; these recordings prove the real server behavior.
Legacy fixtures were small valid empty cache documents. Deletion was demonstrated; preservation of populated legacy history during migration was not.
Arbitrarily large histories, a hard cache-size limit, and restarting with the saved large cache were not exercised.
Cleanup without a successful save and removal after the recent-directory grace period expires were not exercised; the recent directory intentionally remained.
Tests
vp test run apps/server/src/usage/ packages/shared/src/atomicWrite.test.ts: 9 files, 159 tests passed. The extended 'upgrades a v%s cache' test (v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v10) fails for every version with the UsageService.ts change stashed, because legacy files and the stale folder remain, and passes with it. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (35 packages) and tests (4 files) all pass. The first run failed typecheck on new Date(0) in the test (Effect globalDateInEffect rule); fixed by passing epoch seconds to utimes. The real-app 2.7M-record run was not repeated this round.
Not in this change
Cache files listed in LEGACY_SCAN_CACHE_FILE_NAMES are still never deleted. The code comment says they are kept on purpose so an older server sharing the state directory keeps its usage history, so deleting them is a separate product decision.
Temp folders left by a write that was killed mid-way (<name>.XXXXXX/ next to the target) are not swept at startup. The streaming write removes the crash that left them in the issue, but a generic cleanup of stale temp folders in writeFileStringAtomically is a separate change.
Loading the cache still reads the whole file with readFileString and JSON.parse, so a very large cache costs one large string at startup.
Cache size still grows with 92 days of usage history; changing retention or compacting the format would be a separate change.
Retention of 92 days still lets the cache grow with usage; compaction or a shorter retention would be a separate change.
Temp folders orphaned by other writeFileStringAtomically callers (settings, keybindings and others) are not swept; only usage-scan cache temp folders are.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Saving a large usage-scan cache built the whole document as one JSON string,
kept a JSON copy of every entry between writes, and UTF-8 encoded the string
in a single allocation. With hundreds of MB of cached usage this ran the
backend out of heap and aborted it.
The cache writer now yields the document per transcript entry and no longer
memoizes serialized entries. writeFileStringAtomically accepts an iterable of
strings and writes it to the temp file in ~1M-character batches, so peak
memory no longer scales with the file size.
Fixes#34018

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change streams usage-cache writes to reduce memory pressure, but also removes legacy caches after saving. The unresolved concern is permanent loss of retained usage unique to those files; safe migration or deferred deletion needs confirmation.

The usage-scan cache writer now yields JSON as iterable chunks. The atomic file writer accepts strings or iterables and writes iterable chunks in batches. After a successful cache write, UsageService removes legacy cache files and old temporary directories.
The atomic writer accepts iterable contents and writes chunks in batches of at least 1 MiB. UsageService accepts iterable contents. A test checks the written output and removal of the temporary file.
Clean up superseded cache files and stale directories apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.ts, apps/server/src/usage/UsageService.test.ts
After a successful cache write, UsageService removes legacy cache files and prefixed directories at least one hour old. Cleanup errors are ignored. The upgrade test checks that the stale directory and legacy file are removed while the active directory remains.
Preserve older cache files before merging so an older server does not lose retained usage history. Also fix iterable writes so split Unicode characters are saved intact.

Explanation
Issue [#34018] requires large usage-cache writes to avoid a backend heap failure and suggests a regression test. makeScanCacheWriter now yields JSON fragments per cache entry and no longer retains serialized-entry copies. writeFileStringAtomically writes iterable input in bounded batches and closes the file before rename. The added atomic-write test covers multiple batches, and the PR reports successful large-cache reproductions. The change also removes legacy cache files after a successful save and removes old temporary directories, addressing two additional suggestions in [#34018].

Explanation
The changes to cache serialization, atomic writing, tests, legacy-cache removal, and stale temporary-directory cleanup all address the OOM report or cleanup suggestions in [#34018]. The reviewed diff contains no demonstrated unrelated changes. The PR description's exclusions for cache cleanup do not match the reviewed head, which includes both cleanup behaviors.

Explanation
The description explains the problem, changes, and verification in detail.

Resolution
Make the scope consistent throughout the description. Then link the triaged issue or discussion and include the maintainer’s explicit approval of the cleanup scope. If this is an obvious-bug exception, explain why the cleanup qualifies without prior approval.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Bound serialization within each file entry.
When one transcript has many records, serializeFile builds arrays for every record in that file, and JSON.stringify creates one string for the entire entry. A sufficiently large transcript can still exhaust the backend heap during a cache write. Emit record batches instead of stringifying a whole file entry. As per coding guidelines, “Make sure all changes are considerate of performance impact.”

Older cache versions were read but never deleted, and a write that aborted
left its temp folder next to the cache for good. After the first successful
save of the current cache, the usage service now deletes the legacy cache
files and removes cache temp folders that have been idle for over an hour,
so a write still in progress from another server is left alone.

Keep legacy caches for older servers.
If an older server starts after cleanup, it can reparse live transcripts but cannot recover usage from deleted transcripts. Its usage summaries can therefore omit retained history. Keep the legacy files, and update the cleanup test and cache-version comment accordingly.
