fix: leaked prepared subscriptions break lastOpen writes

[diegolmello]

Proposed changes

Cannot update a record with pending changes (subscriptions#<id>), logged from updateLastOpen, is not a bug in updateLastOpen. It means the subscription record was left in _preparedState: 'update' by an earlier writer that called prepareUpdate but never reached db.batch. WatermelonDB then rejects every later update() on that cached instance for the rest of the session, so lastOpen silently stops being persisted for that room.

Two sites prepared a subscription outside the writer and awaited before batching, so any rejection in that window leaked the prepared state permanently:

• Encryption.decryptPendingSubscriptions prepared each subscription inside a Promise.all map. One failing decryption rejects the whole Promise.all, the db.write never runs, and every subscription already prepared by that map stays stuck.
• createOrUpdateSubscription (rooms stream) prepared the subscription, then awaited the last-message lookup before opening the write.

Both now resolve everything asynchronous first and prepare inside db.write, immediately before db.batch, with a per-record try/catch so one bad record cannot block the others. This is the same shape as the earlier decryptPendingMessages fix.

Issue(s)

How to test or reproduce

Regression test added in app/lib/encryption/encryption.test.ts: two pending encrypted subscriptions, one whose decryption rejects. Before the fix the healthy subscription is left with _preparedState === 'update' (the exact state that makes the next updateLastOpen throw); after the fix nothing is left prepared.

Further comments

The createOrUpdateSubscription half has no unit-test seam today: it is a module-private function reached only through the rooms stream listener, so the regression test covers the encryption site only. Worth noting because the same prepare-then-await pattern exists at other call sites (app/sagas/rooms.js, ThreadMessagesView) and nothing currently prevents it from being reintroduced.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved handling of subscription decryption failures so healthy subscriptions continue processing.
  • Prevented incomplete updates from being committed when message or subscription processing encounters an error.
  • Improved room and last-message synchronization when creating or updating subscriptions.
  • Avoided unnecessary processing when there are no pending items to decrypt.

Walkthrough

The changes isolate subscription decryption failures, filter invalid prepared records before batching, and restructure room subscription updates to build one database batch.

Changes

Subscription persistence handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pending decryption batch handling app/lib/encryption/encryption.ts, app/lib/encryption/encryption.test.ts	Pending message and subscription decryption filters null prepared records. Subscription decryption logs individual failures and continues processing healthy records. Tests cover the failure path and committed batch state.
Room subscription batch construction app/lib/methods/subscriptions/rooms.ts	Room subscription and last-message updates now build a shared batch inside db.write. The function reuses the messages collection and uses log for errors.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to d66d4

The PR fixes subscription persistence failures by containing per-record errors and batching updates safely; only minor explicit-type cleanup remains, with no actionable merge-blocking risk.

Add explicit types to the new callbacks and factories.

Please add applicable parameter and return-type annotations to the new callbacks in rooms.ts, the async mapper in encryption.ts, and the test record factories. Use a named interface for the mock record shape rather than relying on an implicit inferred type, consistent with the repository's TypeScript guidelines.
