From 95feb4fc433dedcbceea1182b24970c3ba529cca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alu-card19 Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 12:04:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix(points): eliminate lost-update race on UserProgress totals Replace read-modify-write with atomic SQL increment in addPoints(): - Use SQL upsert with ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE SET col = col + :points instead of JS totalPoints += points (eliminates lost-update race) - Wrap PointTransaction insert and aggregate update in single database transaction (eliminates partial-write inconsistency) - Handle first-award with upsert instead of conditional create (eliminates duplicate row race on concurrent first awards) - Inject DataSource for QueryRunner-based transaction control test(points): assert concurrent awards accumulate correctly - N=10 concurrent awards produce total equal to N * pointsPerAward - Aggregate total always equals sum of ledger rows - Two concurrent first awards produce exactly one progress row - Rollback on failure leaves no partial writes - Large burst (N=50) produces correct total Closes #1001 --- .../points/points.service.spec.ts | 535 ++++++++++++++++-- src/gamification/points/points.service.ts | 105 +++- 2 files changed, 559 insertions(+), 81 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/gamification/points/points.service.spec.ts b/src/gamification/points/points.service.spec.ts index 66fbdf10..8233800d 100644 --- a/src/gamification/points/points.service.spec.ts +++ b/src/gamification/points/points.service.spec.ts @@ -1,6 +1,7 @@ import { Test, TestingModule } from '@nestjs/testing';
