Transaction Module Roadmap

Current Status

Production-grade transaction stack with ACID lifecycle management, MVCC integration, savepoints, distributed coordination paths, and audit/batching utilities in active use.

In Progress

Planned Features

Wave 4-C: Transaction Lock Upgrade Deadlock + GTM Phase-2 Under Lock (Target: Q4 2026)

Source: gap-verifier subagent triage 2026-08-25 · 43 claimed gaps → 3 verified real HIGH + 2 MEDIUM
FP confirmed closed: LM C=2 stale metadata (iterator_invalidation FPs verified Wave-A)
FP confirmed closed: saga_orchestrator.cpp H=10 — Kahn's algorithm cycle-return and circuit breaker FSM states are correct patterns; no unimplemented paths
FP confirmed closed: global_transaction_manager.cpp H=22 — scope_mismatch × 1413 + circular_lock_ordering FPs on correct mutex usage

• T1 — stub #279 STUB NOTE (distributed_transaction_manager.cpp:67,91): RPC Phase-1/Phase-2 bridges are pure injection points; add // STUB/SIMULATION NOTE documenting mandatory transport injection requirement; add entry to PRODUCTION_REQUIREMENTS.md; fail-fast guards already in place at lines 220–235 and 293–315 — Done 2026-08-26
  • Files: src/transaction/distributed_transaction_manager.cpp
  • Tests: verify commit() with participants and no transport returns ERR_NO_TRANSPORT
• T2 — Upgrade Deadlock (lock_manager.cpp:258-265): two transactions both holding SHARED on key k call upgradeLock(k) → both enqueue exclusive waiter → mutual block until timeout; add mutual-upgrade cycle detection before enqueuing OR wire DeadlockPredictor into the upgrade-wait path — Done 2026-08-26
  • Files: src/transaction/lock_manager.cpp
  • Tests: upgradeLock under concurrent same-key shared holders → one succeeds, one gets deadlock error promptly
• T3 — Phase-2 Under Global Lock (global_transaction_manager.cpp:248-252): runPhase2() called inside std::lock_guard<mutex_>, blocking all GTM operations during Phase-2 delivery; apply snapshot-then-release pattern: snapshot participant list under lock → release → deliver Phase-2 → re-acquire to mark COMPLETED (mirrors DistributedTransactionManager::runPhase1Unlocked) — Done 2026-08-26
  • Files: src/transaction/global_transaction_manager.cpp
  • Also apply to abort() (L306) and recoverInDoubtTransactions() (L415)
  • Tests: concurrent beginTransaction not blocked during slow Phase-2 delivery
• T4 — Silent Predicate Lock Drop (lock_manager.cpp:530-538): capacity-based return false has no log/counter; SSI false-positive abort rate invisible to operators; add THEMIS_WARN + metric counter on max_locks capacity reject (MEDIUM) — Done 2026-08-26
• Regression tests: tests/transaction/test_wave4c_transaction_hardening.cpp

Short-term (3-6 months)

Breaking Changes

• Transaction public APIs in active major lines remain additive-first.
• Any future behavioral changes requiring migration must be versioned and documented in changelog/migration notes.

Program Execution Model — Wave Context

This module is scoped to Wave A — Runtime Reliability First in the program-level wave model. See ../../ROADMAP.md for the full Wave A → B → C → D gate model and exit criteria.

Wave A Scope for transaction

• [~] Transaction: crash-recovery chaos validation, timeout determinism, SAGA retry-storm control, and Byzantine/cascading-failure validation are implemented and wired into dedicated CI evidence capture; remaining work is authoritative artifact collection and representative-hardware benchmark execution. (Target: Q3–Q4 2026)

Wave A Exit Criteria (this module's contribution)

• Deterministic chaos evidence complete for recovery and failover paths (Target: Q4 2026)
• Fail-closed behavior verified for all distributed/acceleration paths in scope (Target: Q4 2026)
• release_critical CI green on develop (Target: Q4 2026)
• Representative-hardware p95/p99 baselines refreshed (Target: Q4 2026)

Wave A Closure Evidence Block

• Focused regression closure: 83 focused tests delivered across lifecycle (Phase 1), distributed coordination (Phase 2), fault-injection (Phase 3), and Wave A closure batch (2026-08-19). See WAVE_A_CLOSURE_EVIDENCE_BUNDLE.md.
• Chaos/fault-injection evidence: TXN-RECOVERY-01..04, TXN-SAGA-HARDENING-01..04, TXN-BYZANTINE-01..02, TXN-XSHARD-01..02 delivered in test_transaction_wave_a_closure.cpp (15 tests, registered release_critical).
• Fail-closed verification: coordinator crash-recovery (WAL replay idempotent), SAGA circuit-breaker (threshold enforcement), Byzantine-vote forced ABORT, cross-shard partition TIMEOUT surfacing — all verified by dedicated test cases.
• [~] Build/run confirmation note (2026-09-09): dedicated Wave-B CI is green again and now includes explicit chaos/recovery evidence plus Phase 4 baseline artifact jobs; run 34322902518 failed because the new jobs violated the repository-wide sccache requirement during Configure CMake, and a rerun has been prepared with that fix.
• [~] Representative-hardware p95/p99 baselines: benchmarks/transaction/bench_transaction_phase4.cpp is now CMake/CTest-wired and exported by the dedicated workflow; baseline capture and gate refresh remain open until the patched rerun produces verified artifacts.
• Dedicated transaction CI lane green on develop: run 34313051247 restored the Wave-B workflow to PASS.
• [~] release_critical coverage: 15 Wave A closure tests (TXN-RECOVERY-01..04, TXN-SAGA-HARDENING-01..04, TXN-BYZANTINE-01..02, TXN-XSHARD-01..02) registered release_critical in tests/transaction/CMakeLists.txt; green-on-develop execution evidence pending final chaos/Phase 4 rerun.
• [~] Next closure item: execute the new chaos/recovery and Phase 4 artifact jobs on develop, then promote the resulting hardware-backed evidence into the roadmap/gate record.

Dependencies on Later Waves

• Wave B performance consolidation depends on Wave A gate closure.
• Wave C security validation depends on stable Wave A runtime behavior.
• Wave D operability hardening depends on all prior waves being gate-complete.

Wave 9 Block 2 — gRPC RPC Bridges for Distributed 2PC/3PC

Added: 2026-08-26

Scope

Wire real gRPC transport into the DistributedTransactionManager static injection points (setRpcPhase1Fn / setRpcPhase2Fn) so distributed transactions drive actual network calls instead of falling back to the in-process simulation.

Item	Description	Status
[x] W9-7	GrpcRpcPhase1Adapter — Phase-1 PREPARE gRPC adapter	Done 2026-08-26
[x] W9-8	GrpcRpcPhase2Adapter — Phase-2 COMMIT/ABORT gRPC adapter with 3-attempt exp-backoff	Done 2026-08-26
[x] W9-9	Wire adapters in DI root (src/main.cpp) behind THEMIS_HAS_CORE_GRPC guard	Done 2026-08-26

Files delivered

File	Role
include/transaction/grpc_rpc_adapter.h	Public API — GrpcRpcPhase1Adapter::make(), GrpcRpcPhase2Adapter::make()
src/transaction/grpc_rpc_adapter.cpp	Implementation; all gRPC code in #ifdef THEMIS_HAS_CORE_GRPC
tests/transaction/test_grpc_rpc_adapter.cpp	15 tests (GRPC-P1-01..05, GRPC-P2-01..05, GRPC-DTM-01..03, GRPC-CONTENTION-01, GRPC-WAL-01)

Bridge architecture note

ThemisCoreService::BeginTransaction (with options["2pc_prepare"]="1") is used as a Phase-1 PREPARE proxy because the current proto schema has no dedicated PrepareTransaction RPC. This is intentional for the W9 bridge; when the schema is extended a first-class Prepare RPC should replace it.

Acceptance criteria closure

• STUB #279 Phase-1 transport bridge — resolved; GrpcRpcPhase1Adapter wired
• STUB #279 Phase-2 transport bridge — resolved; GrpcRpcPhase2Adapter wired
• Retry-with-backoff (3 attempts: 100 ms / 200 ms / 400 ms) for Phase-2
• THEMIS_HAS_CORE_GRPC compile guard — non-gRPC builds compile cleanly
• Fail-closed stubs in non-gRPC path (vote ABORT / throw)
• 15 tests registered release_critical in tests/transaction/CMakeLists.txt

Wave 10 — mTLS credential wiring for gRPC channels (W10-A)

Added: 2026-08-27

Scope

[x] W10-A	GrpcRpcPhase1Adapter::make() accepts std::optional<MtlsConfig>	Done 2026-08-27

[x] W10-A	src/main.cpp reads THEMIS_GRPC_CA_CERT / THEMIS_GRPC_CLIENT_CERT / THEMIS_GRPC_CLIENT_KEY	Done 2026-08-27
[x] W10-A	MTLS-01: construction with all PEM fields populated does not throw	Done 2026-08-27
[x] W10-A	MTLS-02: nullopt falls back to insecure credentials without throwing	Done 2026-08-27

Files touched

File	Change
include/transaction/grpc_rpc_adapter.h	MtlsConfig struct; [[nodiscard]] + optional param on make()
src/transaction/grpc_rpc_adapter.cpp	makeChannelCredentials / makeChannelArguments helpers; grpc::CreateCustomChannel
src/main.cpp	Env-var reading block; pass mtls_cfg to both adapters
tests/transaction/test_grpc_rpc_adapter.cpp	MTLS-01, MTLS-02 tests

Acceptance criteria closure

• MtlsConfig struct with Doxygen docs in public header

Program Execution Model — Wave Context

This module is a contributing module in the program-level Wave A → B → C → D execution model.
