Problem

The thread-shell list finds each thread's last executed run with a correlated subquery:

SELECT candidate.run_id
FROM orchestration_v2_projection_runs candidate
WHERE candidate.thread_id = t.thread_id
  AND candidate.status <> 'queued'
  AND NOT (candidate.status = 'cancelled' AND json_extract(candidate.payload_json, '$.startedAt') IS NULL)
ORDER BY candidate.completed_at IS NULL DESC, candidate.completed_at DESC,
  candidate.ordinal DESC, candidate.run_id DESC
LIMIT 1

No index carries that order, so SQLite sorts the thread's whole run history — for every thread in the list. The shell query runs on every shell stream update, once per subscriber, so the cost grows with the total run history of the environment.

EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN on the shell statement today:

CORRELATED SCALAR SUBQUERY 28
SEARCH candidate USING INDEX orchestration_v2_projection_runs_thread_ordinal_idx (thread_id=?)
USE TEMP B-TREE FOR ORDER BY

This is the "last executed run" access path from #23000. The other paths that issue proposed are covered by merged work — #27099 (migration 73) for the recovery reads and #23751 (migration 68) for the shell's stop-request lookup — and this one was left behind when #23009 was closed as covered.

Change

Migration 83 adds a partial index on the runs table in the order that lookup reads, with the lookup's own predicate:

CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS orchestration_v2_projection_runs_last_executed_idx
ON orchestration_v2_projection_runs(
  thread_id, (completed_at IS NULL) DESC, completed_at DESC, ordinal DESC, run_id DESC
)
WHERE status <> 'queued'
  AND NOT (status = 'cancelled' AND json_extract(payload_json, '$.startedAt') IS NULL)

The plan now reads the index instead of sorting:

CORRELATED SCALAR SUBQUERY 28
SEARCH candidate USING INDEX orchestration_v2_projection_runs_last_executed_idx (thread_id=?)

The query is unchanged, so the lookup keeps its semantics: the same runs, in the same order.

Scope and approval

• Triaged bug issue: [Bug]: Thread-shell and recovery queries take 2–22 s on a 26.5 GB V2 database; six proposed indexes (follow-up to #22659) #23000, "Thread-shell and recovery queries take 2-22 s on a 26.5 GB V2 database", which lists six missing access paths.
• Five of those landed with perf(server): thread recovery reads are 10x faster #27099 (migration 73, the recovery reads) and fix(server): speed up shell snapshots on large databases #23751 (migration 68, the shell's stop-request lookup). The one in this PR — the shell's last executed run — was left behind when perf(server): index thread-shell and turn-recovery projection queries #23009 was closed as covered, and the sort it removes is still in the plan today.
• The change is one index and one query's access path. The query, its predicate and its result are unchanged, so no wire format, contract or client changes with it.

Verification

• Server (apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts): "reads a thread's last executed run through the last executed run index" — captures the shell statement the store runs, plans it, and asserts the last-executed lookup uses the new index and no longer sorts. It fails on main: the plan has no such index and sorts the runs.
• vp run check:changed passes (format, lint, knip, graphql, typecheck of 3 packages, tests, react compiler).

Measured on the shell statement's two run subqueries, in SQLite with the production schema and indexes, before and after the new index (same rows both times):

Fixture	Before	After
200 threads × 5,000 runs (1,000,000 runs)	214 ms	2 ms
1,000 threads × 1,000 runs (1,000,000 runs)	226 ms	7 ms
3,300 threads × 200 runs (660,000 runs)	165 ms	21 ms

The sort made the cost proportional to the total run history; the index makes it proportional to the number of threads.

What I could not verify

• A real install. The fixtures above are synthetic, in SQLite, not the server on a 26.5 GB state database. The numbers show the shape of the change (a sort removed), not a before/after on a user's database.
• Migration time on a large database. The index is partial, so the build scans the runs table once. I did not measure that on a multi-gigabyte database.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 215a7c6

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Adds a partial database index so existing last-executed-run lookups can avoid repeated sorting. The migration preserves run data and query behavior, with effects limited to index creation and maintenance overhead.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds and registers migration 83, which creates a partial index on projection runs. It updates migration tests to expect the new migration and adds a query-plan test for index use and sorting.

Changes: Projection run index

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Create and register the partial index apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations/083_LastExecutedRunIndex.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/Migrations.ts, apps/server/src/persistence/reconcileV2PreviewMigration.test.ts	Migration 83 creates an index ordered by thread, completion status and time, ordinal, and run ID. It excludes queued runs and cancelled runs without a startedAt payload value. The registry and migration tests include migration 83.
Verify query-plan use apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/ProjectionStore.test.ts	A query-plan test checks that the active project shell query uses the index and does not use a temporary B-tree for sorting.

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 60075

This change adds a database index to speed up the thread-shell query without changing the query or its results. The test now fails if the lookup still sorts. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains. The author notes that migration time on a large database was not measured.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title states the main change: the shell's last-executed-run lookup no longer sorts every run of every thread. It matches the migration 83 partial index and the plan change described in the summary and objectives. The title uses the conventional commit form with the perf type and the server scope.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections, and each one contains specific content. The Problem section gives the correlated subquery, the EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN output before the change, and the cost reasoning. The Change section gives the migration SQL and the plan after the change. The Scope section links issue #23000 and explains why the other five access paths are covered by merged work. The Verification section names the new server test, reports that check:changed passes, and gives before/after timings on synthetic fixtures. It also states what was not verified. The template asks for the model and harness used if an agent did the work. The description says it was generated with Claude Code but does not name the model version. This is minor and does not block the check. The description is complete and specific, so it passes.

Superseded by #35167, merged as 3e03072.

Your commit is in that PR as its own commit with your authorship, and the squash commit carries a Co-authored-by line for you. The last executed run lookup no longer sorts every run of the thread.

Verified on a real server with 1,813 threads and 153,546 turn items: the two migrations run once, the stored counts match a fresh recount after every kind of write, and the sidebar matches main row for row.

[juliusmarminge]

Thanks for this. Main has the change since #35167.

Main contains the identical partial index for the last-executed-run lookup, registered as migration 84, and its query-plan assertions. Compared your full diff with the merged migration, registration and tests.

Closing as superseded.
