Add bounded atomic SQL dump import

[findolor]

Related PRs and issue

• RAI-2650
• Producer grouped SQL change: raindex#2893. This PR adds an upstream import API for the subsequent browser integration; neither PR needs the other to merge.
• Builds on the existing transaction(statements) API from sqlite-web#28.

Motivation

The browser bootstrap currently materializes Rust and JavaScript statement objects for the SQL dump and sends the array through one transaction callback. Grouping rows on the producer side reduces this work, but the browser still needs a bounded way to stream SQL text into one atomic import without exposing partial data across tabs.

Solution

• Add beginSqlDumpImport, appendSqlDumpChunk, finishSqlDumpImport, and cancelSqlDumpImport to the public wasm API. The database worker owns one BEGIN IMMEDIATE transaction across chunks and commits only after a successful finish; SQL errors, invalid chunks, cancellation, and abandoned sessions roll back.
• Parse SQL incrementally across chunk boundaries, including strings, comments, and trigger bodies. Bound each UTF-8 chunk to 512 KiB and an unfinished statement to 16 MiB. Reject row-returning statements during import to avoid collecting unbounded results.
• Reject connection PRAGMA settings, EXPLAIN, and ATTACH/DETACH before preparation so failures cannot leave connection changes that transaction rollback would not undo. Accept and skip the standard PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;/=0 dump header while preserving existing foreign-key enforcement.
• Reject unpaired UTF-16 surrogates before conversion or dispatch. A cached JavaScript regex validates each chunk with one call across the Wasm boundary.
• Run all core import tests against SQLite's memory VFS without silently skipping failed opens, alongside real OPFS browser integration. Cover partial lexical states, triggers, statement limits, rollback, cancellation, and caller-visible leader-loss outcomes.
• Route import actions through the existing leader/follower coordinator. Reject competing queries and transactions while an import is active, limit outstanding import work per client instance, and expire abandoned imports after 120 seconds of inactivity on the next request or 30-second watchdog tick. An import response is reported only after the database worker resolves it, so a delayed commit cannot be reported as a follower timeout.
• Document the API and limits; add browser integration tests and an isolated synthetic benchmark.

This PR does not change the producer, the browser bootstrap call site, the dump format, or the published package version. The repository's main-branch release workflow publishes the next patch version after merge.

Checks

• nix develop -c build-submodules
• nix develop -c local-bundle
• nix develop -c rainix-rs-static
• Core WASM tests in Chrome: 124 passed (15 core import tests execute through the memory VFS)
• Public WASM tests in Chrome: 42 passed
• nix develop -c npm test in svelte-test: 170 passed, 4 existing skips
• nix develop -c npm run lint-format-check in svelte-test
• git diff --check

The latest WASM suites passed under the standard nix develop -c test-wasm wrapper with a matched Chrome for Testing / ChromeDriver 147 pair configured locally. The initial run with the system ChromeDriver 144 failed before tests started; the matched pair passed all tests. The packaged browser integration suite passed under Playwright Chromium.

nix develop -c npm run test:benchmark also passed. Its three sequential cases import 10,000 equal rows: single-row transaction including construction 59.6 ms, grouped transaction 12.4 ms, and identical grouped SQL through import chunks 15.9 ms. This supersedes the earlier two-case comparison: grouping and the import API must be measured separately. This is a fixed-order smoke measurement with warm storage and small chunks, not an end-to-end or production speedup estimate; download, large-dump object allocation, and indexes require raindex benchmarks.

Review focus: cross-tab serialization, transaction-marker handling, containment of connection state, and rollback behavior when a chunk or finish fails. A leader change before an import response reports an unknown outcome to the caller. Worker failure during finish can leave the outcome unknown even when an error response arrives; check/reset before retrying. Any lost finish response requires checking/resetting the database before retrying; the new test deliberately stalls a DB-worker response to make that path deterministic.

Local Codex review completed three initial rounds with four reviewers, followed by two follow-up rounds with three reviewers, with no OpenCode supplement. Three simplification passes checked the follow-up fixes. All seven latest review comments are addressed: skipped headers are excluded from counts, empty dumps are consistently rejected, unmatched markers have a specific error, the unused queue guard is removed, benchmark APIs use identical grouped SQL, and the supported dumps and liveness/unknown-outcome limitations are documented. The earlier fixes also close the EXPLAIN PRAGMA bypass and prevent attachment changes from surviving cancellation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for importing SQL dumps in chunks, with controls to begin, finish, or cancel an import across connected clients.
  • Imports validate chunk encoding and SQL statements, reject unsupported operations, and roll back on errors or after 120 seconds of inactivity. Regular database operations are blocked while an import is active.
• Documentation
  • Added guidance on streaming SQL dumps, import constraints, failure handling, and checking the database before retrying when the commit outcome is unknown.

Walkthrough

This change adds streamed SQL dump imports to the SQLite database API. It defines import actions and database behavior, routes requests through workers, and adds client methods, documentation, tests, and a benchmark.

Changes

SQL dump import flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Import protocol and database execution packages/sqlite-web-core/src/messages.rs, packages/sqlite-web-core/src/database.rs	Adds import action messages and database handling for chunked SQL, transaction markers, session ownership, size limits, rollback, and idle expiry. Database tests cover parsing, execution, and rollback cases.
Worker routing and import expiry packages/sqlite-web-core/src/coordination.rs	Routes import actions through worker and broadcast paths, queues requests, and starts a watchdog after a successful Begin. Pending imports are cleared after leader changes, while ordinary pending requests remain intact.
Client API and usage validation packages/sqlite-web/src/db.rs, docs/sql-dump-import.md, svelte-test/tests/integration/*, svelte-test/benchmarks/*, svelte-test/vitest.benchmark.config.js, svelte-test/package.json	Adds client methods to begin, append, finish, and cancel imports. Documentation describes limits and failure behavior. Integration tests cover import outcomes and concurrent requests; a benchmark compares import paths.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9c5b6

The streamed SQL dump import now accepts standard CLI dump markers. A leader change now reports an unknown outcome to the caller instead of leaving the request hanging. I found no remaining merge-blocking risk.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9c5b6

The import adds stricter SQL validation and keeps commit authority with the database worker. No introduced security vulnerability was established. The remaining risks concern shared-database availability, recovery after an uncertain commit, and the assumption that clients sharing the database are mutually trusted.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated shared-state scope is the database served by the existing same-origin channel and worker. Import methods do not select another database. Multiple clients sharing that database inherit its active-import availability effects; no broader service or tenant exposure was established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Session control is bearer-ID based, not bound to a tab identity. Mismatched IDs preserve the active session, but forwarded IDs and responses travel on the shared channel. That channel already accepted query and batch SQL before this PR, so the absence of per-tab authentication predates the import API; an intended isolation boundary between those clients was not established.
• observed — Caller-controlled SQL passes import policy and single-statement validation before SQLite execution. Preparation errors finalize any allocated statement, and execution uses a statement guard. The public wrapper additionally rejects malformed UTF-16 and oversized chunks before import dispatch.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — Database-worker failure terminates the old worker and fails pending requests before bounded restart attempts. Leader-change handling clears pending follower imports without reporting successful commit. The termination regression test covers unknown-outcome reporting and client guard cleanup, but does not directly establish persisted database state after termination.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Document explicitly that an import session ID is not a security boundary between mutually untrusted same-origin clients. If such isolation is required by a downstream application, define and enforce caller ownership consistently across import and existing SQL APIs.

an import test for a dump beginning with `PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF;` and `BEGIN
TRANSACTION;` and ending with `COMMIT;`.

The import core is sound. Chunks are scanned correctly across boundaries in every lexical state, trigger bodies are closed by sqlite3_complete, and transaction control statements inside the dump are rejected. The row-returning check runs before sqlite3_step. Every failure path drops import_state after the rollback, so a later finish cannot commit partial data. Other queries, batches and a second begin are rejected while a session is active. One liveness defect remains on the follower path. The other comments cover connection state that the rollback does not undo, input the worker silently changes, and tests that do not prove the claimed behaviour.

[ueco-jb]

All 10 earlier review threads look addressed in 4cbc50a, and I found no merge blockers. The PRAGMA/EXPLAIN/ATTACH checks are sound: if the scanner and SQLite ever split statements differently, exec_import_statement rejects a non-trivia tail after preparing only the first statement and before step. The inline comments cover the unknown commit outcome after a DB worker crash, a queue guard that appears unreachable, inconsistent statement counting, the lack of a way out when a follower's leader stalls, the benchmark method, and which dumps are supported.
