Description

Index handles (db.indexes.<name> / t.indexes.<name>) gain a reactive method:

db.indexes.orderedChildrenOf.observe(parent) // → Observe<readonly Entity[]>

observe(arg) is the reactive counterpart to find(arg). It emits the current sorted bucket synchronously on subscribe, then re-emits — on a microtask after a committed transaction — whenever that bucket's membership or order changes, and stays silent for transactions that touch only other buckets.

Why

Previously a reactive sorted view required pairing db.observe.select(..., { where, order }) with db.indexes.find(). That's a correctness footgun: a sort-key-only reorder changes the index's order but not the where result, so observe.select silently swallows it. observe reports it.

Design note (deviates from the original spec)

The original plan proposed notifying subscribers synchronously inside the index's add/remove/update. Those run per-mutation, mid-transaction (via applyInsert/Update/Delete), before commit — which would fire observers re-entrantly against half-applied state, leak intermediate states on multi-mutation transactions, and run at a different cadence than every other observer (observe.select, observe.entity, … all fire once at the execute → notifyObservers commit boundary).

Instead this mirrors the established observeSelectEntities:

  • New observe-index-entities.ts subscribes to observe.transactions, gates on changedComponents ∩ readColumns, debounces via queueMicrotask, and recomputes through the index's own find(arg). Bucket precision + reorder detection both fall out of comparing the recomputed sequence to the last emitted one.
  • observe is attached at the database layer (where observe.transactions lives); db.indexes and t.indexes share handle objects, so both are covered.
  • No changes to the index's per-mutation maintenance logic (lower risk).

Changes

  • observe-index-entities.ts — new reactive helper.
  • index-types.tsobserve(arg): Observe<readonly Entity[]> on Index.Handle.
  • create-store.ts — exposes the index's readColumns on the handle (internal, like routableColumns).
  • create-database.ts — attaches handle.observe.
  • Tests: 16 runtime tests + a type-test + README docs.

All 122 index tests, workspace typecheck (tsc -b), and lint of touched files pass.

Index handles gain observe(arg): Observe<readonly Entity[]>, the reactive
counterpart to find. It emits the current sorted bucket on subscribe, then
re-emits on the transaction-commit boundary whenever that bucket's membership
or order changes — so a sort-key-only reorder (silently swallowed by pairing
observe.select with find) is reported. Wired at the database layer via
observeTransactions, mirroring observeSelectEntities; the index's per-mutation
maintenance is unchanged.

trySelectViaIndex previously bailed whenever an `order` clause was present,
so a `select(where, order)` that a sorted index could serve verbatim always
fell back to the archetype scan + re-sort. It now routes when the matched
index is sorted with the default comparator on exactly the requested order
columns (in sequence, all ascending) — returning the already-sorted bucket
with no second sort. Descending, mismatched/partial order columns, and
custom-comparator indexes still fall back to the scan.

Implemented via a new internal `routableOrder` field on the handle (mirrors
`routableColumns`). Covers db.observe.select for free since it routes through
the same indexAwareSelect. Red/green tests left in the repo prove the routing
and its boundaries.

…to 0.9.61

Document observe(key) reactivity cost (wakeup gate, suppressed-emission
recompute, dirty-bucket re-sort) and the two known sub-optimalities —
component-coarse wakeup and lazy full re-sort — with their fixes and why
they're deferred. Patch-bump the workspace to 0.9.61 in prep for publish.

* fix(ci): add PR build/test gate and repair all tsc -b + lint failures

The repo had no pull_request CI workflow and main had no branch protection,
so PR #114 merged green while `tsc -b` and lint were red. This adds a CI gate
and fixes every pre-existing and new failure so the gate is green.

Type errors (tsc -b, the real check — bare `tsc --noEmit` is a no-op here
because tsconfig.json only has `references`):
- database.index.test.ts: ordered-select routing tests referenced where/order
  columns not in `include`, and a `seed` helper typed `db` as the empty
  Database; both fixed.
- TransactionResult.changedComponents: Set<keyof C | string> -> Set<string>.
  Component names are always strings; the `keyof C` only widened to
  string|number|symbol for generic C, breaking the type-erased
  TransactionResult<unknown> boundary the reconciler/strategy is written
  against. Cleared the producer-side `as keyof C` workaround casts.
- reconciling applier: store entries as ReconcilingEntry<any,any,any> (the
  layer is type-erased over getTransaction's any-ctx transactions).
- create-store.test.ts: guard optional `.health?.current`.

Lint:
- create-database.test.ts: describe each @ts-expect-error directive.
- test-setup.ts: import { webcrypto } instead of require().

CI / tooling:
- .github/workflows/ci.yml: typecheck + lint + test on every PR and push to
  main, scoped to @adobe/data (where the regression class occurred).
- packages/data: add `typecheck` (build wasm + tsc -b, correct for the
  project-reference build) and `test:ci` (SKIP_PERF=1) scripts.
- vite.config.js / vitest.workspace.ts: exclude *.performance.test.ts when
  SKIP_PERF=1 so the gate is deterministic (timing-ratio perf tests are flaky
  on shared runners); a normal `pnpm test` still runs them.

* test(ci): RED probe — deliberate type error to verify gate blocks merge

Intentionally broken; reverted in the next commit.

* Revert CI probe — restore green state

Removes the deliberate type error from the previous commit; the gate is
verified to block on red.

* ci: bump actions to v6 (Node 24 runtime) and node-version to 22

Clears the Node.js 20 action-runtime deprecation warning. checkout, setup-node,
and pnpm/action-setup -> v6; project runtime node-version 20 -> 22 (LTS).
Applied to both ci.yml and deploy-docs.yml.
