fix: UNIQUE constraint failed on threads.id - #7625
Conversation
The "check it again to avoid race condition" read ran outside db.write, so two callers resolving the same tmid could both see no local thread and both prepare a create for the same id. The second batch then hit the sqlite unique index on threads.id. The re-check now runs inside the writer, where watermelon serializes writes, and falls back to updating tmsg when the thread is already there.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This change prevents duplicate local thread creation during concurrent message rendering and keeps both messages linked to the thread. Only routine callback type-annotation cleanup remains; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Proposed changes
getThreadNamere-read the local thread withgetThreadByIdoutsidedb.write(the comment there said "check it again to avoid race condition"). Two callers resolving the sametmid— several messages in a room pointing at the same thread, all rendering at once — could both pass that check, both enter the writer, and bothprepareCreatea thread with the same id. The second batch then hit the sqlite unique index and threw:The re-check now runs inside the writer, where WatermelonDB serializes writes, so it is authoritative. When the thread is already there, the caller just updates
tmsginstead of creating a duplicate.Issue(s)
None.
How to test or reproduce
getThreadNamelogssqlite error 1555 (UNIQUE constraint failed: threads.id)and the thread name does not render on that messagetmsgCovered by a new unit test that races two
getThreadNamecalls for the sametmidagainst a serialized writer and a batch that enforces uniqueness onthreads.id:The test is red on the previous code with the exact sqlite message, green with the fix.

Further comments
The pre-existing "skips creating the thread when another writer created it during the network gap" test changed one assertion: the guarded path now goes through
db.write, because that is where the check lives.Summary by CodeRabbit
