Permission-changing Appwrite writes returned HTTP 503 during the legacy rolling pass because list-cache version markers use a TTL. List reads also stayed cold because the temporary database bridge rejected batch fills.

Delegate batch fills to the selected wire facade and require stable cache 6.1.3, which supports both operations in the old envelope format. Extend the existing region rotation to preserve an optional TTL; Appwrite can reuse it to rotate list-cache markers in both keyspaces, preventing a reader from the other phase from caching a result after a permission write.

The database change removes the batch-fill special case and adds no coordinator or cache service. The legacy → dual → v2 rollout is unchanged.

Validation: 13,152 database unit tests /199,733 assertions; final targeted bridge suite 12 tests /180 assertions; PHPStan and Pint. A real Redis regression covers expiring markers, warm batch reads, rotation, and purge invalidation through all three phases. Appwrite's additional list-cache regression proves the old cross-phase purge can cache a revoked row and the fix rejects it in both directions.

Follow-up to #1050. Integration: appwrite/appwrite#15134 and appwrite-labs/cloud#7131. CI and stable-source validation will be recorded before release. No production deployment.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Batch cache saves now work in legacy mode, matching the behavior available in other cache modes.
  • New Features
    • Cache rotation now accepts an optional time-to-live value, allowing rotated entries to retain a specified expiration.
    • Cache operations across legacy, dual, and v2 modes now support batch save and load behavior consistently.

Walkthrough

The cache bridge now handles batch fills in legacy mode and accepts a TTL when rotating keys in both keyspaces. Tests cover batch operations, value changes after rotation, and Redis TTLs across legacy, dual, and v2 modes. The cache dependency constraint also changes.

Changes: Cache bridge behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Mode-aware batch fills and TTL-preserving rotation
composer.json, src/Database/Cache/Bridge.php, tests/unit/Cache/BridgeTest.php
The cache dependency constraint changes to ^6.1.3. Batch fills now use mode-selected readers and key mapping; legacy mode calls the legacy cache. Rotation accepts a TTL and passes it to saves in both keyspaces. Tests cover batch behavior and TTLs across bridge modes.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

The implementation forwards the requested rotation TTL correctly. Adding the test’s upper bound is a small follow-up; no production failure is established. Compatibility with older cache readers remains unverified.

Bound the rotated marker TTL at line 132.

After rotate(), the test checks only that the Redis TTL is greater than zero. A regression that saves the rotated marker with a different positive TTL would still pass. Add an upper bound of 60 seconds to match the requested duration.

Suggested test change
             $cache->rotate($key.':version', 60);
             $this->assertNotSame('version', $cache->load($key.':version', 60));
             $this->assertGreaterThan(0, $this->redis->ttl($wireKey.':version'));
+            $this->assertLessThanOrEqual(60, $this->redis->ttl($wireKey.':version'));

Unverified finding
We couldn't verify this from the code. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Legacy-mode saveMany() now writes through the 6.1.3 legacy facade. Its batch representation may not be readable by an older cache client sharing the legacy keyspace, although the added test reads it back only through the new facade.

The older instance could fail to decode the batch or serve an incorrect list.

This can occur when: A new legacy-mode instance fills a list batch that an older instance subsequently reads during the rolling pass.

Merged #1051 normally after all21 checks passed, including every adapter lane, PHPStan, lint and CodeRabbit. CI unit suite:13,152 tests /199,773 assertions (https://github.com/utopia-php/database/actions/runs/41153224951/job/124394589098).

Published stable database9.1.1 at 90e2b4e83d08f58c13f36919652bd6d4e213fc26: https://github.com/utopia-php/database/releases/tag/9.1.1 . Verified the merged/released tree exactly matches checked PR head35a91ac0d3cf8958ec6bb92fe7d81ea1114e1461. It requires stable cache^6.1.3 (source3f1d4d1e53c6f686dabb8b9f37b31eac5ec7375f), no aliases or development flags. Existing tags remain unchanged.

Appwrite is updating its stable lock and list-marker integration before final CI. Cloud then returns to its required CEdev-main revision after Appwrite merges. No production deployment has been performed.
