MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* feat(ingest): use temporarily cached cross chunk edges

* fix: switch to using partners vector instead of 2d edges array

* fix(edits): l2 - use and store cx edges that become relevant only at l2

* chore: rename counterpart to partner

* fix: update partner cx edges

* feat(edits): use layer relevant partners

* fix tests

* persist cross chunk layers with each node

* fix: update cross chunk layers in edits

* fix: update cross layer from old ids in l2

* update deprecated utcnoww

* fix split tests

* Bump version: 3.0.0 → 3.0.1

* fix: missed timestamp arg

* update docs, remove unnecessary methods

* revert structural changes

* fix new tests; revert bumpversion.cfg

 To denote which edges form a connected component within a chunk, a component mapping needs to be created. This mapping is only used during ingest.

+"""
+Edge routing logic for supervoxel splits.
+
+When a supervoxel (SV) is split into multiple fragments, all edges that
+connected the original SV to its neighbors must be reassigned to the
+appropriate new fragment(s). This module handles that reassignment.
+
+Edge classification:
+    Active edges: partner SV shares the same root as the split SV.
+        These edges are routed based on affinity type:
+        - Inf-affinity (cross-chunk) to a split partner: matched by split label,
+          connecting fragments that received the same label during the split.
+        - Inf-affinity (cross-chunk) to an unsplit partner: assigned to the
+          closest fragment only. Broadcasting to all fragments would create an
+          uncuttable bridge between source/sink sides of the split.
+        - Finite-affinity: assigned to fragments within a distance threshold
+          of the partner, or the closest fragment if none are within threshold.
+
+    Inactive edges: partner SV has a different root.
+        These are edges to neighboring objects. All fragments inherit the edge
+        since any fragment could border the neighbor.
+
+Distance computation:
+    For partners within the segmentation bbox, distances are precomputed via
+    kdtree pairwise distances. For active partners outside the bbox (e.g.
+    cross-chunk fragments excluded by _get_whole_sv's bbox clipping), distances
+    are computed from each new fragment's kdtree to the partner's chunk boundary.

Subject: [PATCH 200/367] ocdbt: write_seg writes base scale only

Drop the inline propagate_to_coarser_scales call from write_seg; coarser
mips are now the async downsample worker's responsibility. write_seg is
back to a single base-scale tensorstore write, so SV splits no longer
block on the full pyramid update. TestWriteSeg updated to assert the
coarser scales stay zero after write_seg (propagation tested separately
via TestPropagateToCoarserScales).

Subject: [PATCH 201/367] edits: forward SV-split bbox to publish_edit for
 async downsample
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

split_supervoxel now returns its base-resolution bbox. split_with_sv_splits
collects one per call and attaches the list to Result.seg_bbox (new
optional field). publish_edit includes the list in the payload and sets
downsample="true" so the worker only runs on edits that touched base seg.

List kept unmerged — lets the worker skip tiles outside the actual
change region.

Subject: [PATCH 202/367] downsample: async pubsub worker updates coarser mips

workers/downsample_worker.py consumes edits-exchange messages flagged
downsample="true" and writes each non-base mip within the SV-split
bbox. graph/downsample.py splits the region into pyramid_blocks (sized
so no two blocks share a storage chunk at any mip), then either
tinybrain'd in one call (fast path, typical small edits) or per-mip
(fallback when base read exceeds memory budget). Write filtering keeps
OCDBT delta proportional to the actual change.

DownsampleBlockLock serializes overlapping jobs via kvdbclient's
row-key lock API; 26-byte hash-prefixed keys avoid tablet hot-spots.
Depends on kvdbclient lock_by_row_key / unlock_by_row_key /
renew_lock_by_row_key landing first.

+"""Async mip-pyramid downsample worker support.
+
+An SV split writes at base resolution only; coarser mips are produced
+afterwards by a pubsub worker that consumes this module's primitives.
+
+Work is organized into `pyramid_block`s. A block is a cubic physical
+region sized so that at the coarsest scale in the pyramid it equals
+exactly one storage chunk. Because every finer scale's chunk grid is a
+power-of-2 refinement of the coarsest, a block aligned at the coarsest
+scale is automatically aligned at every finer scale — so two different
+blocks never share a storage chunk at any mip. That is what makes a
+single lock per block safe.
+
+Within a block we pick one of two code paths:
+  1. Fast in-memory path: read the affected base region once, call
+     tinybrain with `num_mips=K` (all mips at once), write each mip's
+     output. Used when the base read fits a memory budget — the typical
+     case because the SV-split bbox is bounded by the /split endpoint
+     (source+sink coords + small padding).
+  2. Per-mip fallback: read the previous mip, tinybrain one step, write.
+     K storage round-trips instead of 1. Kept for pathological inputs
+     whose base read would exceed the memory budget.
+
+Uniform downsample factor (e.g. 2x2x2) across all non-base scales is
+assumed and asserted.

Subject: [PATCH 204/367] locks: add L2ChunkLock for spatial serialization of
 SV splits
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Closes a concurrency gap where two SV splits on overlapping L2 chunks
but distinct roots can't be serialized by root locks — they acquire
disjoint root-lock sets and race on seg state. L2ChunkLock serializes
them via the kvdbclient row-key lock primitive.

Row key = 2-byte blake2b hash + 8-byte uint64 chunk_id (10 bytes).
Hash prefix keeps spatially-clustered L2 chunks from hot-spotting a
single bigtable tablet under concurrent load.

Primitive only — callers land separately.

RowKeyLockRegistry helper moved to tests/helpers.py so L2ChunkLock and
DownsampleBlockLock tests share it instead of duplicating.

Subject: [PATCH 205/367] cutting: return tagged result from run_multicut
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Callers now get Cut(atomic_edges) | PreviewCut(ccs, illegal_split) |
SvSplitRequired(sv_remapping) instead of unwrapping-by-convention or
catching SupervoxelSplitRequiredError. The exception still unwinds
inside LocalMincutGraph — cheapest way to bail out of deep path code —
but it's caught once at the run_multicut boundary and never escapes,
so callers don't use raise/catch for control flow.

Subject: [PATCH 206/367] sv split: extend root lock across multicut + SV split
 + commit

MulticutOperation._apply dispatches on the tagged multicut result and,
when an SV split is needed, calls the new edits_sv.split_supervoxels
under its surrounding RootLock, refreshes source/sink SV IDs from seg,
and retries multicut against the post-split graph. Root lock spans the
whole critical section; L2ChunkLock held only around the split loop.

This closes two races that existed when split_with_sv_splits handled
the flow outside any lock: same-root (root lock now never released
between multicut and commit) and cross-root (L2ChunkLock serializes
overlapping split regions). split_with_sv_splits is deleted;
handle_split calls cg.remove_edges directly.

Subject: [PATCH 207/367] sv split: drive lock + write scope from the SVs being
 split
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pre-compute each rep's bbox from the chunk coords of its CC members in
sv_remapping (no coord-padding, no resolution-axis assumption).
split_supervoxels builds the union lock set across reps — sparse chunks
plus one L2-chunk margin for update_edges's 1-voxel overlap read —
acquires once, then loops per-rep splits.

_update_chunks surfaces the change_chunks that actually got new SV IDs;
write_seg_chunks fires one tensorstore future per change-chunk and
awaits together, so only chunks with real label changes hit OCDBT.
Gap chunks between CC pieces and neighbor chunks read for the overlap
never get rewritten, keeping the delta proportional to the edit.

split_supervoxels also threads back the fresh source/sink SV IDs from
the in-memory new_seg block (same bytes that just landed on storage),
so the retry multicut sees current IDs without an extra seg read.

Drops _get_whole_sv (dead since the sv_remapping switch).

Adds a high-level architecture doc covering the end-to-end flow,
concurrency design, and durable invariants.

+# Supervoxel splitting
+
+## What it is
+
+A *supervoxel split* bisects one physical supervoxel — a connected region in the raw segmentation — along a user-seeded cut. The user supplies a source coordinate and a sink coordinate inside one supervoxel; the system finds a cut surface separating them and assigns new supervoxel IDs to each half, writing the updated segmentation and the corresponding graph hierarchy.
+
+This only runs on segmentations stored in OCDBT (a writable, append-only segmentation backend). With a read-only segmentation backend the split path is never entered; the multicut instead surfaces a precondition error asking the user to pick different source/sink points.
+
+## Why it's needed
+
+The graph is stored in **chunks**: the segmentation volume is partitioned into a regular 3D grid, and each chunk owns its own set of supervoxel IDs. When a physical supervoxel spans a chunk boundary, it is artificially cut into multiple graph-level supervoxel IDs — one per chunk — with infinite-affinity *cross-chunk edges* connecting the pieces so the graph still represents one physical object.
+
+The multicut algorithm runs on a local graph around source and sink. If it finds that source and sink sit inside the same cross-chunk-connected component — i.e., in the same physical supervoxel — a clean graph cut cannot separate them without first **splitting that physical supervoxel at the voxel level** and giving the resulting halves fresh IDs. That voxel-level cut is what the split flow does. The multicut runs again against the refreshed graph and produces the graph-level edges to remove.

+
+### Notes on the flow
+
+- **"SV split required" is a return value, not an exception.** The multicut returns one of several tagged outcomes so the caller dispatches with a straight branch. Nothing uses raise/catch for control flow, which is what allows the root lock to stay held across the detect-then-split-then-commit sequence without the exception unwinding the lock.
+
+- **The cross-chunk-representative mapping** comes out of the multicut for free: as part of building its local graph it stitches every cross-chunk-connected group of graph-level supervoxels into one node and records the mapping. That map tells the split step which supervoxels are artificially-cut pieces of one physical SV, and which of them sit on a source→sink bridge.
+
+- **The split is per-representative.** If two unrelated physical supervoxels both need splitting in one edit (rare but possible), each is handled in its own pass under the same L2 chunk lock.
+
+## Concurrency design
+
+Two races exist at the segmentation layer even with root locks in place:
+
+- **Same-root race.** Without care, the root lock could drop between "detect split needed" and "perform split", letting another edit on the same root slip in and race for the same supervoxel pieces.
+- **Cross-root spatial race.** Two edits on entirely distinct roots can target supervoxels whose pieces live in overlapping chunks. Root locks don't serialize them; segmentation writes would clobber each other.
+
+The split flow closes both:
+
+- **Root lock scope covers the full operation.** Detection, supervoxel-level split, retry detection, commit — all under one root lock. Same-root interleaving is impossible; any other edit on the root waits for this one to finish.
+
+- **L2 chunk lock covers the supervoxel-level split only.** Inside the root lock, the split step additionally acquires a spatial lock on every L2 chunk it will read or write. Keyed by chunk, so edits on different roots but overlapping chunks serialize here. Released as soon as the split writes land; the graph-level commit afterwards runs under the root lock alone.
+
+### How the spatial lock set is computed
+
+For each cross-chunk representative being split, take the envelope of the chunks its cross-chunk-connected pieces live in — the exact chunks whose voxels will be rewritten. Expand by one voxel (= at most one L2 chunk of margin in each direction), because the edge-routing step reads a 1-voxel shell outside the rewritten region to see neighboring supervoxels' labels. Union the per-representative chunk sets, sort deterministically so workers with overlapping sets never acquire in opposite orders, lock once.
+
+The envelope comes from the supervoxels' own chunk coordinates — no coordinate padding, no resolution-axis assumption. The chunks locked are exactly the chunks the split will touch, plus the 1-chunk margin the shell read requires.
+
+### How the write scope is kept minimal
+
+Only chunks that actually receive new supervoxel IDs get written to storage. Gap chunks that happen to sit inside an envelope but contain no cross-chunk-connected pieces, and neighbor chunks read only for the edge-routing shell, are never written. The segmentation backend is append-only, so writing unchanged bytes would inflate the on-disk delta for no real change. Writing exactly the changed chunks keeps the delta proportional to the user's edit.
+
+### Why the post-split ID refresh is safe without an extra read
+
+After the split lands, the caller-supplied source and sink supervoxel IDs reference now-superseded supervoxels. The retry multicut needs the *current* IDs at the source and sink pixels — the subgraph fetch returns only live supervoxels, so a mincut asking about superseded ones would fail to find its endpoints.
+
+The in-memory segmentation block produced by the split is bitwise identical to what was just written to storage, and the storage write is synchronous (we wait for it) and happens under the L2 chunk lock (so nothing else can have mutated those voxels). Looking up source/sink coords in that block returns the same IDs a storage re-read would — no extra round-trip needed.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- A supervoxel split and its graph-level commit are one atomic operation. Either both land or neither does, under a single root lock.
+- Within the supervoxel-split step, concurrent splits on overlapping L2 chunks serialize. No two operations write segmentation to the same chunk at the same time.
+- Supervoxel-level writes touch only chunks whose voxels actually changed. Gap chunks between cross-chunk-connected pieces and neighbor chunks read for edge routing are untouched.
+- After the commit, readers at the operation's timestamp see new supervoxel IDs in the cut region and new roots reflecting the cut.

Subject: [PATCH 208/367] feat(ocdbt): pinned-at reads

Enable opening a CG's OCDBT at a prior commit via the driver's `version`
spec field (int generation or ISO-8601 commit_time upper bound).
Groundwork for operator-driven replay of failed SV splits, which needs
clean pre-op reads against append-only storage.

OCDBT stamps commits from absl::Now() with no caller-override hook, so
pins will use OperationTimeStamp captured under the L2 chunk lock rather
than aligning OCDBT commit times to operation time.

 Multi-scale (MIP pyramid) is supported: the source watershed's info JSON
 drives the scale layout. All scales share one OCDBT kvstore; the precomputed
 driver prefixes keys by scale key automatically.
+
+Versioned reads
+---------------
+Every OCDBT commit gets a monotonically-increasing ``generation_number`` and
+an ``absl::Now()``-stamped ``commit_time`` (nanoseconds since epoch). The
+tensorstore OCDBT driver lets callers pin a read-only open to a prior version
+via the ``version`` spec field; accepts either an integer generation number
+or an ISO-8601 UTC timestamp string. The timestamp form requires a ``Z``
+suffix (not ``+00:00``) and is interpreted as ``commit_time <= T`` — the open
+returns the latest version at or before the pinned time.
+
+The commit_time itself cannot be overridden by the caller: OCDBT stamps each
+commit from the writer's local clock (``absl::Now()`` in
+``btree_writer_commit_operation.cc``). This means we can't make OCDBT commits
+align exactly with a caller-provided operation timestamp. What the L2 chunk
+lock guarantees instead: no other writer can commit to our chunks while we
+hold the lock, so any timestamp captured under the lock before our first
+commit is a valid pin for "pre-op state of our chunks."
+
+Retention: the OCDBT spec exposes no pruning fields. All versions are
+retained by default.

Subject: [PATCH 209/367] refactor(sv-split): pure planner + consolidated
 persist
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

split_supervoxels is now a pure planner returning a SplitResult
(seg_bboxes, source_ids_fresh, sink_ids_fresh, seg_writes,
bigtable_rows). No lock acquisition, no writes. The caller
(MulticutOperation._apply) holds the L2 chunk locks and fires
the consolidated persist — OCDBT chunks + bigtable rows — inside
an inner lock scope.

seg_writes is a flat list of (voxel_slices, data) pairs across all
reps so write_seg_chunks fires every chunk write as one parallel
tensorstore batch. Removes the per-rep serialization in the old
write_seg_chunks loop.

get_seg_source_and_destination_ocdbt gains a pinned_at kwarg, forwarded
to build_cg_ocdbt_spec — used later by the recovery path.

+    `seg_writes` is the aggregated output of `edits_sv.split_supervoxels`

+    `write_seg_chunks` call fires every chunk write in one parallel
+    tensorstore batch instead of serializing rep-by-rep.
 
-    Each per-chunk write is fired as an async tensorstore future and

Subject: [PATCH 210/367] feat(locks): IndefiniteL2ChunkLock + exception-path
 hold

New L2 chunk counterpart to IndefiniteRootLock, keyed by chunk row.
L2ChunkLock now acquires via lock_by_row_key_with_indefinite so a
temporal acquire sees a crashed op's indefinite cell and refuses.
IndefiniteL2ChunkLock records its chunk scope on the op-log row's
L2ChunkLockScope column at __enter__ and clears it on clean exit,
giving recovery a durable scope without a bigtable-wide scan.

Both indefinite locks (root and L2 chunk) now short-circuit __exit__
when an exception is propagating: cells stay held, scope stays set.
Partial writes may exist after an exception; leaving the cells forces
subsequent ops to refuse at lock-acquire and the operator to run
recovery explicitly.

privileged_mode=True on either lock is the operator recovery escape
hatch: skips acquire, pre-populates acquired_keys so __exit__'s
value-matched release deletes the crashed op's cells.

RowKeyLockRegistry (test helper) gains the three new kvdbclient
primitives.

Operator recovery for SV-split ops that crashed mid-write. A worker
death inside IndefiniteL2ChunkLock leaves per-chunk indefinite cells
set and records the chunk scope on the op-log row. Recovery reverts
partial OCDBT writes using a version-pinned read of pre-op voxels,
then replays the op normally.

list_stuck scans OperationLogs for ops still at CREATED past a
min-age threshold. replay(cg, op_id) runs cleanup_partial_writes
followed by repair.edits.repair_operation(..., unlock=True);
IndefiniteL2ChunkLock's privileged-mode __exit__ deletes the crashed
op's pre-existing cells after the replay's writes land.

 The in-memory segmentation block produced by the split is bitwise identical to what was just written to storage, and the storage write is synchronous (we wait for it) and happens under the L2 chunk lock (so nothing else can have mutated those voxels).

+# Supervoxel split recovery
+
+## What it is
+
+A recovery path for supervoxel-split operations that crash mid-write, leaving partial state in segmentation and per-chunk locks held indefinitely. An operator runs a one-shot command that reverts the crashed op's partial segmentation writes and re-runs the op from scratch, producing a clean successful edit and freeing the affected chunks for future work.
+
+## When it applies
+
+Every supervoxel split writes two things atomically from the point of view of the operation:
+- Segmentation chunks — the voxel-level split, where each L2 chunk touched by the split gets fresh supervoxel IDs at the voxels that moved to a new fragment.
+- Graph hierarchy rows — lineage from the old supervoxels to the new ones plus the cross-chunk edges linking the new fragments.
+
+Both writes happen under an indefinite L2 chunk lock covering the exact chunks being rewritten. If the worker running the op dies before the lock's context exits — process kill, pod eviction, hardware failure, OOM — the lock stays held. From that moment on, any new op whose chunk set overlaps the stuck op's chunks refuses to start, blocking further corruption.
+
+The operator runs recovery when the lock has been held long enough that the worker is definitively gone, not merely slow. A minimum-age threshold (10 minutes is a reasonable default) distinguishes stuck ops from ops still in flight.
+
+## Concurrent edits on other regions keep working
+
+The indefinite lock is per L2 chunk. While op X is stuck on chunks `{C1, C2, C3}`, another op Y on chunks `{C4, C5}` sees no indefinite cell on its chunks and proceeds normally. Its writes advance the latest OCDBT manifest. By the time the operator gets to recovery, the manifest has moved past the stuck op's `OperationTimeStamp` and other regions of segmentation reflect Y's (and any subsequent ops') work.
+
+This is important: the recovery must not undo Y's changes. It also cannot rely on a single "read pre-op segmentation" pin because that would return pre-Y state outside the stuck op's own chunks, and the replay would overwrite neighbor state with stale values.
+
+## Why pre-op pinning is not enough on its own
+
+A supervoxel split reads more than just its own chunks. To route existing cross-chunk edges onto the new fragments, the split reads a one-voxel shell around its chunk envelope — supervoxel IDs from neighboring chunks serve as anchors for the re-routed edges.
+
+If the replay opened segmentation with a pin at the stuck op's `OperationTimeStamp` and then read that shell, the neighbor voxels would show their pre-op state, not their current state. If Y had split a supervoxel in one of those neighbor chunks in the interim, the pinned read would see the old neighbor IDs, and the replay would route its cross-chunk edges to supervoxel IDs that no longer exist. Graph corruption.
+
+So the replay cannot read the world through a single pinned view. It must see latest state for the neighbor shell and clean pre-op state for its own chunks.
+
+## Cleanup-then-replay
+
+Recovery proceeds in two steps.
+
+**Cleanup.** For each chunk in the stuck op's durably-recorded scope, the operator reads the chunk's pre-op voxel values from a segmentation handle pinned at the op's `OperationTimeStamp`, and writes those values back to the latest (unpinned) handle. The result: those chunks, at the latest manifest, now show pre-op segmentation — as if the crashed op had never started. Neighbor chunks and every chunk outside the stuck op's scope are untouched, so any concurrent op's work is preserved.
+
+**Replay.** The operator then re-runs the op under the privileged-repair path. The run reads latest state, which is now consistent — clean pre-op values on the stuck op's own chunks, current state everywhere else — and goes through the normal edit flow. It allocates fresh supervoxel IDs, re-computes the split, writes new segmentation and hierarchy, and transitions the op-log row from `CREATED` through `WRITE_STARTED` to `SUCCESS`.
+
+When the replay's indefinite lock context exits, it issues value-matched releases on every chunk in the scope. Because the replay re-uses the crashed op's operation ID, the value match succeeds and the pre-existing indefinite cells are deleted. The chunks are free for new ops again.
+
+## Orphans in segmentation history
+
+OCDBT is append-only. The crashed op's partial segmentation writes still exist in the store's commit history — they are not deleted, only overshadowed. At the latest manifest, the cleanup step has overwritten them with pre-op values, so a normal (unpinned) read returns the pre-op state and the replay's fresh writes take effect on top of that. Readers that explicitly pin a historical version between the crash and the replay will still see the partial writes as a snapshot, but readers at latest never observe them.
+
+The orphan supervoxel IDs allocated by the crashed op are never referenced by any hierarchy row — the crashed op never wrote its hierarchy rows to completion, and the replay allocated a new set of IDs. From the graph's perspective those orphan IDs do not exist.
+
+## Operator workflow
+
+1. **List stuck ops.** The operator runs the list command with a minimum-age threshold. It returns op-log rows still at `CREATED` status past that age, along with each op's user ID, timestamp, age, and the number of chunks in its recorded scope. Ops too young to classify are skipped.
+
+2. **Inspect.** For each candidate, confirm from logs or monitoring that the worker that submitted the op is definitively dead — not, for example, paused on a long-running multicut. The minimum-age threshold exists to reduce false positives but the operator retains final judgment.
+
+3. **Replay.** The operator runs the replay command with the op ID. It performs the cleanup pass, then hands off to the privileged-repair path to rerun the op. On success, the op-log row shows `SUCCESS` and the previously-held indefinite lock cells are released.
+
+4. **Verify.** A second list invocation should no longer include the op. Any new ops that were waiting on the affected chunks proceed.
+
+If the replay itself fails — for example, the operator's judgment about the worker's status was wrong and the original worker comes back — the replay surfaces the error and leaves the op-log row and lock state as it found them. The operator investigates, potentially clears the lock manually via direct bigtable tools, and tries again.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- A stuck op's durable scope record (written before any segmentation or hierarchy write begins) lets recovery locate every chunk that might have received a partial write, without a bigtable-wide scan.
+- Cleanup only touches chunks in the stuck op's scope. Neighbor state and any concurrent ops' changes are preserved byte-for-byte.
+- The replay sees a consistent world: pre-op values on the stuck op's own chunks (from the cleanup), current state on every other chunk (from the latest manifest).
+- After successful replay, the op-log row is at `SUCCESS`, all indefinite cells previously held by that op are released, and the affected chunks are available to new ops. The op's original intent — the edit the user asked for — is realized with a fresh set of supervoxel IDs.

+"""Operator recovery for SV-split ops that crashed mid-write.

+A crash inside `IndefiniteL2ChunkLock`'s critical section leaves the

+Ops on other (non-overlapping) chunks continue to succeed and advance

Subject: [PATCH 213/367] refactor(sv-split): thread operation_ts + named
 structs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Pass the op's timestamp from execute → _apply → split_supervoxels →
split_supervoxel → copy_parents_and_add_lineage / add_new_edges so
every new-SV bigtable mutation lands at the op's logical write time.
Gets atomic visibility under a parent_ts filter and makes replay's
override_ts actually control what time-filtered readers see after a
repair_operation. Parent-copy and Child-list writes deliberately keep
the old cell's timestamp so pre-op readers still see the old
hierarchy.

Replace the seven-tuple in/out soup in split_supervoxels with named
dataclasses: SvSplitTask (plan_sv_splits → split_supervoxel input)
and SvSplitOutcome (split_supervoxel's per-task output). Drop the
two unused return fields on split_supervoxel.

Subject: [PATCH 214/367] feat(stuck_ops): surface exception-path + verify
 cells before replay
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

list_stuck filter switches from Status==CREATED to "L2ChunkLockScope
set and Status != SUCCESS past min_age". The authoritative signal for
stuck-ness is "scope recorded, not cleared" — worker crash (Status
stays CREATED) and Python exception during persist (Status=EXCEPTION
after Fix 1) both fall under it. Ops without scope aren't blocking
other ops and are outside stuck_ops' concern.

replay now verifies each chunk in the recorded scope actually has
Concurrency.IndefiniteLock held by this op_id before running cleanup
or repair. If cells are missing or held by a different op, raises
with a clear error. Protects against double-replay (first run already
released cells) and out-of-band clearing (manual bigtable edit,
buggy release path) — both would have cleanup_partial_writes revert
chunks that aren't ours.

Subject: [PATCH 216/367] feat(meta): require fork to be pre-created; assert
 fork_exists
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

fork_base_manifest is now an explicit step — invoked from the ingest
CLI's --ocdbt path or the seg_ocdbt notebook — rather than being
auto-triggered on first ws_ocdbt_scales access. ws_ocdbt_scales
asserts fork_exists() so a missing fork fails with a clear pointer
instead of a tensorstore mismatch/not-found error.

Subject: [PATCH 217/367] docs: scope-set stuck signal; pre-replay cell
 verification
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Stuck-op detection keys off L2ChunkLockScope being populated, not
Status=CREATED — that filter also covers caught-exception paths
(Status=FAILED) where cells are held but the row isn't CREATED.

Recovery now verifies each chunk's IndefiniteLock is actually held
by the op before cleaning up, so a stale scope can't have us revert
chunks another op owns. Reflect both in docs and the list CLI help.
Drop "mode-downsample" from the SV-split diagram — tinybrain owns
the algorithm; the doc shouldn't pin it.

Subject: [PATCH 218/367] sv-split: drive bbox from user seeds, narrow cut set
 to bbox
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`_rep_bbox` enveloped every piece of the cross-chunk-connected rep —
for physical SVs split into many pieces across chunks, the bbox grew
far wider than the cut surface needs. Replace with `_coords_bbox`:
envelope of the user-placed source/sink coords plus a one-chunk
margin (matches the existing L2 lock margin and 1-voxel shell).

After the seg read, `cut_supervoxels` is intersected with the IDs
present in seg, so the "whole sv" set names only the rep pieces the
bbox actually touches. Pieces of the rep outside the bbox keep their
existing IDs — their cross-chunk edges to in-bbox split fragments
are routed via the 1-voxel shell, edges between two unsplit pieces
don't change.

Adds `TestCoordsBbox` covering envelope+margin, volume-bound clipping,
and that `plan_sv_splits` returns a tight bbox regardless of how
distant the rep's other pieces sit.

+# Edge updates after a supervoxel split
+
+## Context
+
+A supervoxel split rewrites voxels inside a bbox: a single old SV is replaced by N new fragments (one per chunk × per side of the cut). Every atomic edge that referenced the old SV — to neighbors inside the same root, to neighbors in a different root, and to other pieces of the same physical supervoxel — must now reference an appropriate fragment instead, or the graph hierarchy diverges from the new segmentation.
+
+Edge update is the second half of `split_supervoxel`. The first half produced a labeled bbox, an `old_new_map` (`old_sv_id → set[new_sv_ids]`), and a `new_id_label_map` (`new_sv_id → cut-side label`). This document covers what happens from there.
+
+## Algorithm overview
+
+```
+inputs from voxel-level split
+  ├─ new_seg           bbox volume with new SV IDs in place of old
+  ├─ old_new_map       which old SVs got split, and into which new IDs
+  └─ new_id_label_map  for each new ID, which side of the cut it's on
+
+update_edges (edges_sv.py):
+  1. fetch atomic subgraph inside bbox, rooted at the rep's root
+  2. dedupe edges, drop self-loops
+  3. group by partner-root vs split-root  →  active / inactive
+  4. for each old SV:
+       inactive partners  → broadcast edge to every fragment
+       active partners    → expand split partners, match by label/proximity
+       intra-fragment     → low-affinity edges between every fragment pair
+  5. validate (no cross-label inf bridges, no self-loops, completeness)
+  6. return new (edges, affinities, areas)
+
+add_new_edges (edges_sv.py):
+  1. duplicate bidirectional, group by L2 parent chunk
+  2. per chunk: append to SplitEdges (history) and rewrite
+     CompactedSplitEdges (snapshot, with stale rows filtered)
+```
+
+## Inputs to `update_edges`
+
+- `cg, root_id, bbox` — the rep's root and the bbox the voxel-level cut acted on.
+- `new_seg` — segmentation in the read window (bbox + 1-voxel shell). The shell is what makes anchor lookups work for unsplit pieces of the rep on the other side of a chunk boundary; without it, cross-chunk edges from those pieces would route to whatever happens to lie at the boundary face, not to the actual fragment the cut produced.
+- `old_new_map` — drives which edges need re-routing.
+- `new_id_label_map` — used to pair fragments with the same cut-side label across cross-chunk edges.
+
+`update_edges` calls `cg.get_subgraph(root_id, bbox, bbox_is_coordinate=True)`. This returns every atomic edge whose endpoint sits in the bbox under the rep's root. That set already includes both intra-cut edges (between split SVs) and the cross-chunk-shell edges to neighbors outside the rewritten region.
+
+After fetch, edges are sorted within each pair, deduped, and self-loops filtered. The remaining set is the input to classification.
+
+## Classification
+
+For each edge, the partner's root determines the routing path. `sv_root_map` is built from one batched `cg.get_roots(...)` over all unique partners.
+
+### Inactive partner (`partner_root != root_id`)
+
+The partner sits in a different agglomerated object. The split's cut-side has no semantic relationship to that neighbor — *any* fragment of the old SV that touched the neighbor's voxels still touches them after the split. **Broadcast**: for each old SV split into N fragments, copy the edge to every fragment, preserving affinity and area.
+
+This intentionally over-creates edges. They cost nothing if both endpoints stay in different roots forever; they collapse harmlessly into a single root-level edge if the two roots later merge.
+
+### Active partner (`partner_root == root_id`)
+
+The partner is inside the same agglomerated object as the rep — the partner is either:
+
+- another piece of the same physical SV (cross-chunk-connected),
+- a different SV in the same root reachable via L2 hierarchy.
+
+For active partners, edges are routed based on affinity type:
+
+#### Inf-affinity, partner also split
+
+The partner SV is itself in `old_new_map` (e.g. it's another piece of the rep that was rewritten). We need each new fragment of the old SV to connect to the *matching-label* new fragment of the partner — the one on the same cut-side. `_match_by_label` does this lookup via `new_id_label_map`. If no fragment of the partner shares the source SV's label (rare, indicates a partial split), fallback to the closest fragment by distance.
+
+#### Inf-affinity, partner unsplit
+
+This is the cross-chunk edge to a piece of the rep that the bbox didn't include — by construction with the seed-driven bbox, these are the rep's far-away pieces that keep their old IDs. The unsplit partner has no `new_id_label_map` entry.
+
+**Critical**: do *not* broadcast this edge to all fragments. An unsplit partner connected via inf-affinity to fragments on both sides of the cut would form an uncuttable bridge — a future mincut on this object would route through `frag_a → unsplit_partner → frag_b` with infinite affinity and never separate them. So `_match_inf_unsplit` assigns the edge to exactly one fragment: the one closest to the partner.
+
+`validate_split_edges` enforces this with check (A): no inf-affinity edge from an unsplit partner to fragments with different cut-side labels.
+
+#### Finite-affinity (regular)
+
+Real adjacency edges between SVs based on per-pair affinity. `_match_by_proximity` assigns the edge to *every* fragment within `cg.meta.sv_split_threshold` voxels of the partner, fallback to closest if none qualify. Multiple fragments may legitimately neighbor the partner; the threshold preserves the original adjacency where it actually exists.
+
+### Intra-fragment edges
+
+For each old SV split into multiple new fragments, add a low-affinity (0.001) edge between every pair of fragments. These are cuttable by future mincut operations — they record that the fragments share a graph-level neighborhood (they came from the same SV) without forcing them to stay agglomerated. Without these edges, an entirely-disconnected fragment of an old SV would have no link to the rest of the object; with them, the standard mincut machinery handles the relationship correctly.
+
+## Distance computation
+
+Distances drive both proximity matching and the closest-fragment fallback. Each fragment gets a `cKDTree` over its voxels (built from `build_coords_by_label(new_seg)`).
+
+- **Partner inside bbox**: build a kdtree on the partner's voxels too. For each fragment, the smaller-tree-queries-larger heuristic minimizes work; result is the minimum voxel distance.
+- **Active partner outside bbox**: the partner's voxels aren't in `new_seg`. `_compute_boundary_distances` uses the partner's chunk coordinate to determine which face of the source chunk the edge crosses, then measures each fragment's distance to that boundary plane. This is an over-estimate for non-boundary-aligned partners but it's the only signal available without extra reads.
+
+## Validation
+
+`validate_split_edges` checks four invariants and raises `PostconditionError` on any violation. Failures abort the operation cleanly under the indefinite L2 chunk lock; the recovery flow then handles cleanup.
+
+| Check | Why |
+|-------|-----|
+| (A) No inf-affinity bridges between cut-sides via an unsplit partner | Would be uncuttable by future mincuts |
+| (B) No self-loops | Indicates a routing bug; would skew degree counts and break some traversal assumptions |
+| (C) Every old SV has at least one replacement edge from its fragments | Catches old SVs that vanished from the edge set entirely (would orphan them in the hierarchy) |
+| (D) All fragment pairs of each old SV are connected | Confirms the intra-fragment low-affinity edges were emitted |
+
+These run before any bigtable write, so the validation is the last line of defense before the writes commit under the lock.
+
+## Persisting: `add_new_edges`
+
+The new edges are batched into bigtable per L2 chunk. Two columns get written per chunk per op:
+
+### `SplitEdges` (history)
+
+An append-only column. Each split op writes its new edges as a fresh cell with the op's logical timestamp. Time-travel reads at any timestamp T walk all cells with `ts ≤ T`, then apply the stale-edge resolution path to filter out edges whose endpoints have been superseded by later ops. This is the authoritative store for historical reads.
+
+### `CompactedSplitEdges` (snapshot)
+
+A latest-only column for fast current-time reads. On each op:
+
+1. Read the previous compacted cell (if any) plus its matching `CompactedAffinity` and `CompactedArea`.
+2. Filter out rows whose endpoints reference any old SV in `old_new_map.keys()` (these are the SVs that just got split — their edges are stale).
+3. Concatenate the new rows.
+4. Write the whole thing as one fresh cell.
+
+Current-time readers can take this single cell directly without history walks or stale-edge resolution.
+
+The chunk grouping uses each edge's first endpoint's L2 parent chunk: `cg.get_chunk_ids_from_node_ids(cg.get_parents(nodes))`. Parent chunks (not the SV's own L1 chunk) is the correct routing — the edge belongs to the chunk where its endpoint lives in the L2 hierarchy. Bidirectional duplication ensures every edge is owned by both endpoints' chunks; readers picking up either side find it.
+
+Both writes use `time_stamp=task.operation_ts`, so all rows from one op land at the same logical time. Concurrent SV-splits on disjoint chunks don't interfere because they write disjoint chunk rows.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- For every old SV in `old_new_map`, every atomic edge that referenced it in the pre-split graph has at least one corresponding edge among its fragments after the split.
+- No inf-affinity edge crosses cut-sides through an unsplit partner.
+- Every cross-chunk piece of the rep that the bbox didn't include keeps its old ID and its existing edges resolve unchanged (because no edge in those rows references the now-split SVs at endpoints — the routing only touches edges whose endpoints are in the bbox or its 1-voxel shell).
+- `SplitEdges` and `CompactedSplitEdges` agree at the latest timestamp: the compacted snapshot is the result of replaying the history through the stale-edge filter.

+# Hybrid base: precomputed + OCDBT fork (proposal)
+
+Status: proposal, not implemented. Open question is whether storage and ingest-compute savings justify the read-path complexity.
+
+## Problem
+
+PCG ingest copies the entire watershed segmentation into `<ws>/ocdbt/base/` in OCDBT format before any CG edit can happen. Per-CG forks at `<ws>/ocdbt/<gid>/` store only the deltas from SV splits. Two costs follow:
+
+- **Storage**: roughly 2× the segmentation footprint per dataset — original precomputed plus full OCDBT copy.
+- **Ingest compute**: a per-chunk pass that reads the precomputed and writes it through the OCDBT driver. Hours of cluster time on TB-scale datasets.
+
+Both costs are paid up-front, before any user has done a single edit. The proposal here: skip the base copy and serve unedited chunks directly from the raw precomputed directory. Per-CG OCDBT forks remain as the delta store.
+
+## Why the current architecture has the base copy
+
+Today's per-CG read spec is:
+
+```
+neuroglancer_precomputed
+  └─ kvstore: ocdbt
+       ├─ base: kvstack [base_layer, fork_manifest, fork_data]
+       └─ config: { compression, max_inline_value_bytes, ... }
+```
+
+When a reader asks for chunk key `8_8_40/1024-..._0-128`:
+
+1. The `neuroglancer_precomputed` driver passes the chunk key to its kvstore (the OCDBT driver).
+2. OCDBT looks up the key **in its B+tree**. The B+tree's leaves map chunk keys to values.
+3. If the key isn't in the B+tree, OCDBT returns not-found. It does not consult the kvstack any further.
+
+The three kvstack layers serve OCDBT's *internal* storage (B+tree manifest + node blobs + leaf blobs) — they have no visibility into chunk-key lookups. So the OCDBT B+tree must contain every chunk key the reader will ever ask for, and that's why ingest copies the whole watershed: to populate the B+tree.
+
+## What tensorstore primitives provide
+
+Confirmed against tensorstore docs:
+
+- **`kvstack` routes by exact / prefix match, with no fallthrough on miss.** A layer that claims a key range absorbs misses — they return `state='missing'` and do not cascade to the next layer. So we can't put raw precomputed below an OCDBT layer in a kvstack and expect kvstack to fall through when OCDBT doesn't have a key.
+- **No native overlay/fallback kvstore driver.** `kvstack` is the only composition primitive at the kvstore level; it's precedence-based, not fallthrough.
+- **OCDBT has no external-blob references.** B+tree leaves either inline the value or point to a data file under the OCDBT directory. There's no way to make a leaf reference a raw GCS precomputed file.
+- **Array-level `stack` / `ts.overlay`** layers arrays by spatial domain. In overlapping regions, the later layer takes absolute precedence — missing-in-later does not fall back to earlier.
+
+No single tensorstore primitive provides "try OCDBT delta first, fall through to raw precomputed on miss."
+
+## Architectural options
+
+### A — Two-stage read at the pcg layer
+
+PCG reads open two handles: the OCDBT fork for the delta, and a raw `neuroglancer_precomputed` reader for the watershed base. For any voxel region, issue both reads and merge with "delta wins where present, base fills the rest."
+
+- **Pros**: works inside pcg (`lookup_svs_from_seg`, sanity checks, debug tools) without any tensorstore changes.
+- **Cons**: every pcg caller that uses `meta.ws_ocdbt` needs to route through a new merging reader. Neuroglancer doesn't benefit — it still gets a single kvstore spec from `dataset_info`. Either NG runs two layers itself (Option B) or we stand up a server-side proxy that does the merge before serving.
+
+### B — NG-side layer stack
+
+`dataset_info` publishes two precomputed layers: the raw watershed (read-only base) and the per-CG OCDBT fork (delta). NG composites them — visible segmentation is whichever has data at a given chunk.
+
+- **Pros**: no change to pcg's read path. Pushes the architecture complexity into the viewer.
+- **Cons**: requires NG to treat "missing chunk in delta" as "fall through to base," not "render as background." Default NG behavior is the latter, so a viewer-side or proxy-side shim is likely needed.
+
+### C — Custom tensorstore kvstore driver
+
+A new "fallthrough" kvstore driver: read tries layer N, falls through on miss to layer N−1. Implement upstream in tensorstore or fork-and-maintain.
+
+- **Pros**: cleanest consumer-facing story — pcg and NG both keep using a single kvstore spec.
+- **Cons**: tensorstore kvstore drivers are C++. Non-trivial maintenance surface; review/merge timeline if upstreaming.
+
+### D — Lazy base population (not a win on its own)
+
+Skip the ingest copy; copy a chunk from precomputed to OCDBT on first edit. Saves ingest compute. Does **not** save storage for reads — unedited chunks still 404 in OCDBT for a reader that doesn't have a fallback. Only useful in combination with A/B/C.
+
+## Recommendation
+
+Measure first. Confirm the actual storage and ingest-compute savings on a real dataset and weigh against the engineering cost of A/B/C.
+
+If the savings justify the work, **A + B together** is the most pragmatic path:
+- A gives pcg a single merged-read API. Edits, sanity checks, debug tooling keep working.
+- B avoids standing up a proxy service for the viewer by letting NG handle the overlay.
+
+Both require upstream verification:
+- **For A**: confirm that `(x0:x1, y0:y1, z0:z1)` reads on an OCDBT with sparse keys surface missing-ness *per chunk* at the `neuroglancer_precomputed` array layer (not per-region, not silently fill-valued).
+- **For B**: confirm NG's segmentation loader can be configured to fall through gaps in one layer to another. If it can't, build a small server-side merging shim — at which point Option A's reader becomes that shim and B reduces to "publish two specs."
+
+C is the cleanest design but carries the highest cost. Pursue only if A/B turn out to have unworkable semantics.
+
+## Open questions before any implementation
+
+1. Does OCDBT's `read_result.state == 'missing'` surface per-chunk at the `neuroglancer_precomputed` array layer, or does the array silently fill missing chunks with fill-value? Verifiable by opening an OCDBT with sparse keys and reading a region that spans present + missing chunks.
+2. Does NG distinguish "chunk returned as missing" from "chunk is all fill-value"? If not, a viewer-side overlay needs a shim regardless.
+3. What's the actual delta volume per CG over its lifetime? If SV splits eventually touch a significant fraction of chunks, the storage win shrinks toward zero — at which point the simpler architecture (today's full base copy) wins on engineering cost.
+
+## Files to start from when implementing
+
+- `pychunkedgraph/graph/ocdbt.py` — spec construction (`build_cg_ocdbt_spec`), base population (`create_base_ocdbt`), fork setup (`fork_base_manifest`).
+- `pychunkedgraph/ingest/cli.py`, `pychunkedgraph/ingest/cluster.py` — current base-copy flow.
+- `pychunkedgraph/graph/utils/generic.py::get_local_segmentation` — single pcg read entry point that would need the two-stage merge in Option A.
+
+## Verification (per chosen option)
+
+- **A**: unit test that simulates a partial-delta OCDBT + raw precomputed and confirms the pcg reader returns the correct labels for spans crossing both.
+- **B**: configure an NG link with both layers against a test dataset; compare the rendered segmentation to a known-good reference at edited and unedited regions.
+- **C**: a tensorstore build with the new driver passes a fallthrough test (missing key in upper layer resolves from lower layer).

handle_supervoxel_id_lookup and id_helpers.get_atomic_ids_from_coords
both short-circuit to lookup_svs_from_seg whenever ocdbt_seg is true,
regardless of node-id layer. 2D slice clicks send L1 IDs from a view
that may be stale after an SV split; 3D mesh clicks send a root and
no L1 at all. Either way the current SV is what matters, so we read
seg at the click coords and let downstream same/different-root
checks surface any staleness with the sv_id->root diagnostic.

Also vectorize lookup_svs_from_seg's per-coord indexing into a single
advanced-index op.

Subject: [PATCH 223/367] fix(ocdbt): drop redundant `shape` from schema clone
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`_schema_from_src` was passing both `domain` and `shape` to ts.open
when cloning the source schema to the destination. For sources with
a non-zero `voxel_offset`, `domain` carries absolute bounds (e.g.
[17756, 62244)) while `shape` implies an origin of 0, and tensorstore
refuses to merge them — base creation fails on any precomputed source
that doesn't start at the origin.

`domain` already encodes both extent and offset, so passing only it
is sufficient and avoids the conflict.

Subject: [PATCH 224/367] ci/ingest: cache cloudbuild layers, explicit
 --populate-base flag
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

cloudbuild now uses BuildKit registry cache (`:buildcache`) so
unchanged stages reuse the prior build's layer artifacts and
already-warm nodes skip re-downloading them on pull.

The fresh-ingest CLI no longer infers `ocdbt_populate_base` from
`base_exists` — manifest presence didn't reflect whether chunks
were actually copied. Replaced with an explicit `--populate-base`
flag; operator sets it on first ingest and omits on subsequent
runs.

Subject: [PATCH 225/367] ci: combine buildx create + build into one step
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`docker buildx create --use` stores the "current builder" client-side
in ~/.docker/buildx/, which doesn't persist across cloudbuild steps —
each step runs in a fresh container. The build step then fell back
to the default `docker` driver, which doesn't support
`--cache-to type=registry`. Cache export silently no-op'd, so the
:buildcache image never got pushed and every subsequent build's
--cache-from missed.

Move the create + use into the same step as the build and explicitly
set --driver docker-container.

Subject: [PATCH 226/367] fix(ocdbt): wipe via underlying driver; create base
 before CG table

create_base_ocdbt and wipe_base_ocdbt both wiped through the OCDBT
driver, which on an empty dir creates a default-config manifest stub
(max_inline_value_bytes=100) and on a populated dir only clears the
B+tree leaving the manifest in place. Either way the subsequent open
with OCDBT_CONFIG mismatches. Wipe through the underlying GCS/file
driver so the manifest itself gets deleted.

Move OCDBT base setup before cg.create() so a failure in OCDBT setup
doesn't leave behind an orphan bigtable table.

Subject: [PATCH 227/367] feat(ocdbt): move populate to configurable
 parent-layer task with atomic txn
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Move the precomputed→OCDBT base copy out of L2 atomic tasks into a single
parent-layer task per chunk, layer configurable via --populate-layer
(default 4). Each task batches every underlying L2 chunk across every MIP
scale into one OCDBT commit via ts.Transaction(atomic=True) — without
atomic=True the precomputed driver splits a multi-chunk write into two
OCDBT sub-commits regardless of the surrounding python-level transaction.

The chosen populate-layer is persisted in <ws>/ocdbt/.populated/meta.json
alongside the per-chunk markers; mixing layers is unsupported, so a
mismatch errors out and tells the operator to delete <ws>/ocdbt/ if they
want to repopulate at a different layer.

Subject: [PATCH 229/367] feat(ingest): retry reuses stored config; populate
 runs async; richer status + per-chunk node/edge logs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`ingest graph --retry` now loads the existing IngestionManager from redis
instead of requiring the OCDBT flags to be re-passed; `dataset` becomes
optional under --retry. The base/populate-meta/cg.create one-time setup
is skipped — only the per-CG fork manifest is re-wiped and L2 tasks are
re-enqueued. The job_type_guard already handles cross-mode misuse.

create_parent_chunk fires the OCDBT populate on a worker thread before
add_parent_chunk so the GCS copy overlaps with the BigTable hierarchy
build; the populate future is awaited (and exceptions propagated)
before marking the task complete.

print_status now surfaces ocdbt_seg / ocdbt_populate_base /
ocdbt_populate_layer so operators can see at-a-glance what mode the
running job is in. add_atomic_chunk and add_parent_chunk each log node
and edge counts so each task's BigTable write volume is visible in the
worker logs.

Subject: [PATCH 230/367] feat(ingest status): rich live panel + busy worker
 count + configurable refresh

print_status now renders a single rounded Rich Panel via Live. Two
header mini-tables (graph fields, ocdbt fields when enabled) sit above
the per-layer progress/queue/busy table; both header groups share
computed column widths so their boundaries line up. job_type lives in
the Panel title so it stays out of the row data.

Busy-worker count comes straight from Redis: SMEMBERS rq:workers:l{N}
to enumerate worker keys per queue, then a single pipelined HGET state
across all of them and a sum of state == b'busy'. Two round-trips per
refresh regardless of worker count, displayed as busy/total.

Refresh cadence defaults to 5s and is overridable via --refresh on
both `ingest status` and `upgrade status`.

Subject: [PATCH 231/367] perf(ingest status): precompute redis keys; skip
 per-refresh rq allocations

Each refresh was constructing a fresh Queue plus a fresh
FailedJobRegistry per layer, and the first FailedJobRegistry access
triggered a lazy `from rq.registry import FailedJobRegistry` import,
which dominated first-call latency. The relevant keys are stable
strings (`rq:queue:l{N}`, `rq:failed:l{N}`, `rq:workers:l{N}`), so
compute them once before the live loop and pass them straight into
the pipeline.

Subject: [PATCH 232/367] fix(ingest): run ocdbt populate synchronously after
 add_parent_chunk

Overlapping the GCS copy with add_parent_chunk via a worker thread
doubled peak memory inside the worker (the multi-scale read buffer
and the BigTable hierarchy state are both live), which was OOM-killing
workers. Drop the ThreadPoolExecutor and let the populate run inline
after add_parent_chunk completes; _populate_ocdbt_chunk stays as a
named helper.

Passing the source TensorStore directly into write() lets tensorstore
copy through its own pipeline rather than materializing a uint64
numpy array in Python and then handing it back to write(). On a 512
MiB region the duplicate-buffer cost goes away — peak RSS drops by
roughly one scale's worth. Inside the atomic transaction the txn
itself still buffers staged writes, so this trims the avoidable half
of memory, not all of it.

Split ocdbt.py into ocdbt/{__init__,meta,utils,main}.py. OcdbtConfig
dataclass replaces the OCDBT_CONFIG module constant; spec builders
take it explicitly. Per-CG settings persist in
custom_data["ocdbt_config"]; legacy custom_data["seg"] still reads.

Drop --ocdbt, --populate-base, --populate-layer, --sv-split-threshold
from `ingest graph`; those move to yaml under a top-level
`ocdbt_config:` section. bootstrap() parses it.
IngestionManager carries one ocdbt_config dict with @property
accessors so cluster.py callers don't change.

max_inline_value_bytes default bumped to 1 MiB (tensorstore's hard
ceiling).

Subject: [PATCH 235/367] feat(meta): info-file > custom_data precedence;
 redis-cached helper shared with ws_cv

ChunkedGraphMeta.ocdbt_config now consults <ws>/ocdbt/.populated/meta.json
at runtime and resolves it on top of custom_data per the info-file >
custom_data > defaults order. New module-level _redis_cached_json(key,
loader) caches the JSON dict in Redis so distributed workers hit Redis
once per process instead of GCS per CG instance; ws_cv refactored to
use the same helper.

Subject: [PATCH 236/367] refactor(ingest): consolidate OCDBT helpers into
 ingest/ocdbt.py; drop edges-OCDBT path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

New ingest/ocdbt.py owns the per-chunk populate task, the shared base/fork
setup, and a coordinator-server context manager that the populate-layer
CLI will wire in next. populate_chunk fails loudly when the coordinator
address isn't advertised in Redis — uncoordinated parallel commits race
the shared manifest and leak orphan d/ files, the exact bug this module
exists to prevent.

The --ocdbt-edges branch and start_ocdbt_server (edges-only writer with
a different base path) go away with their tests; no caller is left.

Subject: [PATCH 237/367] feat(ingest): coordinator-managed OCDBT populate;
 drop --reset-ocdbt
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`flask ingest layer N` now wraps queue_layer_helper in a
DistributedCoordinatorServer when N matches the OCDBT populate layer:
the server starts in-process, its address is advertised in Redis, and
the foreground blocks so workers route every commit through it.
Eliminates the manifest-CAS races that were emitting orphan d/ files at
~47× the rate of committed data.

Both CLIs lose --reset-ocdbt — wipe out of band with
`gcloud storage rm -r gs://<ws>/ocdbt/`. The shared base/fork/persist
dance moves out of both `graph` subcommands into the single setup_base
helper. upgrade's legacy custom_data["seg"] write is also replaced by
the canonical ocdbt_config schema setup_base persists.

Subject: [PATCH 238/367] refactor(ingest): consolidate duplicated
 chunk-requeue body into utils.requeue_chunk

ingest_chunk and upgrade_chunk were identical aside from their L2 / L3+
function pair. The shared body lives in utils.requeue_chunk; each CLI's
chunk command is one line that passes its own (atomic_fn, parent_fn).

 test_from_config

bootstrap returns (meta, ingest_config, client_info, ocdbt_config_dict)
since the OCDBT-package refactor, but the test still unpacked three
values and raised at call site. Update the unpack and assert the new
dict element is present.

Subject: [PATCH 240/367] chore(ingest status): reorder + rename columns; split
 workers/busy
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

queued sits at position 2 — the column you actually watch during a run.
Layer centers under its header now that it's the lone left column. %
becomes progress; done becomes completed. The composite workers [busy]
column splits into two right-aligned columns (workers, busy) so the
total and the active count line up by digit and don't visually fuse.
Global padding bumps to (0, 2) for breathing room.

Headers go through rich.text.Text so any future bracketed header would
render literally instead of being parsed as Rich markup.

Subject: [PATCH 241/367] fix(ingest): route OCDBT populate writes through the
 coordinator spec
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Workers were setting OCDBT_COORDINATOR_HOST/PORT env vars before opening
the base kvstore. The tensorstore binary doesn't reference those strings —
the OCDBT driver looks at the spec's `coordinator: {address: ...}` field
(or the `ocdbt_coordinator` Context resource), nothing else. So every
"distributed" populate worker has been writing direct, racing the shared
manifest, and emitting orphan d/ files: ~634 GiB of d/ at under 3% of
layer 3 done before this was caught.

open_base_ocdbt takes an optional coordinator_address and injects it into
the kvstore spec. populate_chunk forwards an address when one is passed
(distributed) and writes direct when none is (single-process / notebooks),
since uncoordinated single-writer is fine. cluster.create_parent_chunk
is the only distributed caller and is where the fail-loud lives: it
reads the address from Redis via get_coordinator_address and raises if
unset, so a worker can never silently regress to the env-var no-op.

Verified by opening an OCDBT kvstore with coordinator=localhost:1 — the
first write raises UNAVAILABLE, confirming the spec field is the actual
routing knob.

Subject: [PATCH 242/367] fix(ocdbt): drop atomic=True from
 copy_ws_bbox_multiscale
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

tensorstore's distributed-OCDBT path rejects cross-key atomic
transactions — every populate task with the coordinator wired in was
raising "Cannot read/write ... as single atomic transaction" the moment
copy_ws_bbox_multiscale tried to span the info key and chunk keys (and
across scales).

The fix is just to drop atomic=True. The transaction object itself is
what batches every per-scale .write() into one OCDBT commit; atomic
only adds cross-key isolation, which we don't need here and which the
coordinator path forbids. Verified by reproducing both shapes:

  * coord + atomic=True  → fails immediately on info+chunk
  * coord + Transaction() → single d/ file per task (multi-scale)

Concurrent-writer check under the coordinator: 8 threads × 20 commits
produced 183 d/ files (≈1.14× overhead from manifest updates). Without
the coordinator the same workload produced 1017 d/ files (6.4× orphan
ratio), which matches the manifest-CAS-race behavior the coordinator
fixes.

Each populate task now prints a layer/coords header line, then the
multiscale commit prints a tight summary of how many voxels landed
across how many scales. Per-scale detail stays at debug level so the
default operator view stays one informative line per task — enough to
see what's being done and how much, without scrolling.

Subject: [PATCH 244/367] chore(ocdbt): per-task GCS dump on commit failures,
 gated on ERROR_DUMP
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

New pychunkedgraph/graph/ocdbt/debug.py holds all the diagnostic
plumbing — humanize_count, failure_envelope (host/pod/versions/
traceback/timestamp/coordinator env), bbox_failure_payload (per-scale
shape/chunk/key-count/raw-bytes + src+dst kvstore specs), and
dump_failure_to_gcs (writes JSON to $ERROR_DUMP/<dump_tag>__<utc>.json).

copy_ws_bbox_multiscale stays slim: when ERROR_DUMP is unset, no
per-scale bookkeeping, no payload, no GCS write — happy path runs
unchanged. When ERROR_DUMP is set, per-scale rows accumulate and on
failure get serialized via the helpers. populate_chunk threads a
<graph_id>/L<layer>/<x>_<y>_<z> dump_tag so each failing task self-
identifies in the bucket and multiple experiments share one dump root
without collisions.

Subject: [PATCH 245/367] feat(ingest): purge_layer command for re-running from
 a previous backup
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`flask ingest purge_layer <N>` drops all per-layer redis state — the RQ
queue (deletes jobs along with it), every per-layer registry (failed,
started, deferred, scheduled, finished, canceled, addressed by the
registry's own .key so we don't hardcode RQ's internal key naming),
and the pychunkedgraph completion set f"{N}c". Confirmation prompt
gates the destructive action.

Used when you restore the table from a previous layer's backup and
need to re-enqueue from scratch — without this, stale queue + completion
state from the aborted run would shadow the fresh re-run.

Subject: [PATCH 246/367] feat(ingest): retry runs full setup minus
 cg.create(); add --skip-queue
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Restructure `flask ingest graph`: --retry/-r reuses the IngestionManager
from redis but otherwise runs the same setup path as a fresh ingest —
opens the existing table via imanager.cg, calls setup_base when OCDBT
is enabled (idempotent: recreates the base + info if absent, reconciles
config, forks for this CG), and enqueues. Skipping only cg.create()
means an externally-wiped OCDBT base now recovers on retry without
touching Bigtable.

New --skip-queue/-s does setup but no L2 enqueue, for operators who
want to verify the OCDBT base / fork state before queueing work.
Short forms for retry/-r, skip-queue/-s, test/-t.

Subject: [PATCH 247/367] docs(ocdbt): tensorstore OCDBT reference
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

In-repo notes on every OCDBT spec field, config sub-field,
ocdbt_coordinator resource field, DistributedCoordinatorServer
constructor field, and runtime defaults — verified empirically against
the venv's tensorstore binary by probing with intentional-bad-value
plus spec round-trips.

Captures the distributed-mode constraints: atomic transactions
forbidden, cooperator-forwarded RPC bounded at gRPC's 4 MiB default
with no Python knob to raise it, leases held per btree node so
disjoint user-key writes still cross-forward. Catalogs the levers that
do exist (max_decoded_node_bytes, max_inline_value_bytes,
lease_duration) and ones that look promising but aren't fields.

+# tensorstore OCDBT reference
+
+Every entry below was verified by probing tensorstore directly (intentional-bad-value + spec round-trip) against the binary in this workspace's venv. Re-verify if the tensorstore version changes.
+
+## OCDBT kvstore spec — top-level fields
+
+Sibling of `driver: "ocdbt"`:
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `base` | kvstore spec or URL | — | underlying kvstore (gcs/file/s3/…) |
+| `manifest` | kvstore spec or URL | (under `base`) | the manifest *can* live in a separate kvstore from data |
+| `config` | object | `{}` | see Config sub-fields below |
+| `assume_config` | bool | `false` | skip reading the existing config from the manifest (use with care) |
+| `coordinator` | ocdbt_coordinator resource | named ref `"ocdbt_coordinator"` | enables distributed mode when set |
+| `cache_pool` | cache_pool resource | named ref `"cache_pool"` | |
+| `data_copy_concurrency` | data_copy_concurrency resource | named ref | |
+| `target_data_file_size` | uint64 | driver default | when a single commit's d/ writes exceed this, the writer rolls a new d/ file |
+| `experimental_read_coalescing_threshold_bytes` | uint64 | — | |
+| `experimental_read_coalescing_merged_bytes` | uint64 | — | |
+| `experimental_read_coalescing_interval` | uint64 | — | |
+| `btree_node_data_prefix` | string | `"d/"` | path prefix for btree-node files |
+| `value_data_prefix` | string | `"d/"` | path prefix for value files |
+| `version_tree_node_data_prefix` | string | `"d/"` | path prefix for version-tree files |
+| `path` | string | `""` | sub-prefix in the kvstore |
+
+**Not fields**: `data_file_prefixes`, `version_spec`, `recheck_cached*`, `transaction`, `btree_writer_concurrency`, `manifest_kind` (lives under `config`).
+
+## OCDBT `config` sub-fields
+
+| Field | Type | tensorstore default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `compression` | object | `{}` (none) | `{"id": "zstd", "level": N}` — zstd level 1–22 |
+| `max_inline_value_bytes` | uint64 | `100` | values ≤ this size are inlined into btree leaves. **1 MiB is the hard ceiling** per our code's prior measurement note. Setting to 1 MiB avoids per-chunk out-of-line zstd-framing bloat. |
+| `max_decoded_node_bytes` | uint64 | `8388608` (8 MiB) | btree node split threshold. Larger nodes → shallower tree → fewer per-commit node touches. Setting this *smaller* than the default INCREASES per-commit forwarded bytes — empirically went from ~8 MiB to ~23 MiB RPCs when set to 1 MiB. |
+| `version_tree_arity_log2` | int | — | controls version tree branching; rarely tuned |
+| `manifest_kind` | enum | `"single"` | `"single"` or `"numbered"` (manifest history retained — needed for time-travel reads) |
+| `uuid` | string | (auto) | 32-hex per-base UUID assigned at create time |
+
+**Not fields**: `data_file_prefixes`, `data_file_prefix`, `btree_node_arity_log2`, `version_tree_node_arity`.
+
+## `ocdbt_coordinator` context resource
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `address` | string | — | `"host:port"` of the DistributedCoordinatorServer |
+| `lease_duration` | duration string (`"1s"`, `"500ms"`, etc.) | — | how long a lease holder owns a btree node |
+| `security` | object | `{method: "insecure"}` | requires `method` key. This build has **no** security methods registered (build flag) — all calls cleartext. |
+
+## `DistributedCoordinatorServer({...})`
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `bind_addresses` | list[string] | one ephemeral port | gRPC server bind address(es). `.port` after construction gives the ephemeral port. |
+| `security` | object | insecure | same shape as the resource's security |
+
+**There is NO Python knob for the gRPC server's max-receive message size.** The 4 MiB default is set inside tensorstore's gRPC server builder. Confirmed by strings on the binary: no `TENSORSTORE_*` env var, no spec/resource field, no Context resource that maps to `grpc.max_receive_message_length`.
+
+## Distributed vs non-distributed write paths
+
+The OCDBT driver picks one of two compiled implementations at open time:
+
+- **non-distributed** (`btree_writer.cc`): coordinator absent. Each commit writes the manifest itself. Concurrent writers race the manifest CAS; losers retry; their pre-commit d/ writes become orphans.
+- **distributed** (`distributed/btree_writer.cc`, `cooperator_*.cc`): coordinator present. One lease holder per btree node serializes commits. Other cooperators **forward their mutations over gRPC** to the lease holder.
+
+### Constraints unique to distributed mode
+
+1. **`ts.Transaction(atomic=True)` is incompatible.** "Cannot read/write … as single atomic transaction" — verified on (info + chunk) and on (cross-key). A plain `ts.Transaction()` still batches all writes into one OCDBT commit; only the *atomicity* across keys is lost.
+2. **Cooperator-forwarded RPC ≤ ~4 MiB.** Carries (btree node delta) + (value bytes for keys committed into that node).
+3. **Disjoint user-key writes still trigger forwarding.** Leases are per btree node, not per user-key range. Two workers writing distinct keys into the same node → one forwards to the other.
+
+## Cooperator batching
+
+`cooperator_submit_mutation_batch.cc` queues mutations and groups them by lease holder; each group becomes one `SubmitMutationBatch` RPC. Internal symbol of interest: `AddToPrioritizedQueue`. No Python-visible knob for batch size, queue policy, or batching window.
+
+What ACTUALLY changes RPC size (verified by production dumps):
+- Default config → RPCs 5–8 MiB (one chunk's compressed_segmentation value + small node delta)
+- Default config + `max_decoded_node_bytes=1 MiB` → RPCs up to 23 MiB (smaller nodes ≠ smaller RPCs; verified regression)
+- Default config + dst chunk_size halved → RPCs grew to 12 MiB (more mutations per node → bigger batches)
+
+## Defaults visible from spec round-trip
+
+```json
+{
+  "assume_config": false,
+  "btree_node_data_prefix": "d/",
+  "config": {},
+  "coordinator": "ocdbt_coordinator",
+  "cache_pool": "cache_pool",
+  "data_copy_concurrency": "data_copy_concurrency",
+  "value_data_prefix": "d/",
+  "version_tree_node_data_prefix": "d/"
+}
+```
+
+## Env vars
+
+- `OCDBT_COORDINATOR_HOST`, `OCDBT_COORDINATOR_PORT`: **NO EFFECT**. Not referenced anywhere in the binary. Address must go in spec's `coordinator.address`.
+- `TENSORSTORE_VERBOSE_LOGGING`: comma-separated tag list to stderr. Tags include `ocdbt`, `coordinator`.
+
+Other `TENSORSTORE_*` vars exist (CA paths, S3/GCS concurrency, etc.) — grep the binary.
+
+## On-disk layout
+
+- `manifest.ocdbt` at the base — root btree node + current data file refs.
+- `d/` — directory of "data files" each holding concatenated values + (optionally) btree node bytes + version-tree node bytes.
+- Each commit creates **at least one** d/ file holding all values + nodes for that commit, then a CAS-update of `manifest.ocdbt`.
+- `target_data_file_size` controls when a single commit splits its d/ writes across files.
+
+## How this maps onto pychunkedgraph
+
+- `OcdbtConfig` (`pychunkedgraph/graph/ocdbt/meta.py`) → `compression`, `max_inline_value_bytes` (=1 MiB).
+- `create_base_ocdbt` / `open_base_ocdbt` pass `config.ts_config()` so the same OCDBT config persists across opens.
+- `populate_chunk` (`pychunkedgraph/ingest/ocdbt.py`) opens the base with `coordinator_address` (distributed mode).
+- `copy_ws_bbox_multiscale` uses **non-atomic** `ts.Transaction()` because of the distributed-mode constraint above.
+- `_dump_failure_to_gcs` writes JSON failure forensics when `ERROR_DUMP` env is set.
+
+## Empirically tried and ruled out
+
+- `OCDBT_COORDINATOR_HOST/PORT` env vars — no effect.
+- Bumping gRPC max-receive via env / channel arg / spec field — no such knob.
+- Smaller `dst chunk_size` alone — RPC size grew (more mutations per node).
+- Smaller `max_decoded_node_bytes` alone — RPC size grew (more per-commit node touches).
+- `--ocdbt-edges` legacy path — decommissioned, removed.
+- `ts.Transaction(atomic=True)` with distributed coordinator — incompatible.
+
+## Open observations (not verified at production scale)
+
+- `lease_duration` may reduce cross-cooperator forwarding if held long enough that a worker's whole task lands on its own nodes.
+- `target_data_file_size` may affect manifest growth but not RPC size.
+- Switching dst encoding from `compressed_segmentation` to `raw` would make per-value size predictable (`chunk_volume × bytes_per_voxel`), bypassing the dense-region pathological CS encoding (one observed key encoded to 23 MiB at 256×256×64).

Subject: [PATCH 248/367] fix(ocdbt): lower max_inline_value_bytes so chunk
 values go out-of-line
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Reading tensorstore's distributed btree_writer.cc StagePending: values
≤ max_inline_value_bytes are carried inline in the encoded mutation, so
the cooperator's per-leaf WriteRequest packs all of them together. With
the previous 1 MiB threshold, every compressed_segmentation chunk that
landed below 1 MiB stayed inline and contributed its full bytes to the
gRPC forward — which blows past tensorstore's hardcoded 4 MiB gRPC
max-receive whenever a few inline chunks land on the same btree leaf.

Dropping to 4 KiB pushes every chunk value through WriteData into a d/
file and replaces it in the mutation with an IndirectDataReference, so
forwarded RPCs carry only small refs regardless of value size. Small
metadata (info JSON, populate-marker files) still stays inline.

Tradeoff: the old comment cited "7× GCS bloat" at the 100-byte default
— that ratio came from per-chunk independent zstd framing dominating
tiny payloads, not chunk-sized ones. At 4 KiB+ payloads the per-chunk
zstd overhead is in the single-digit-percent range. Reference doc
updated to credit max_inline_value_bytes as the actual RPC-size lever
and correct the cooperator-batching section.

tensorstore raises ValueError with an absl status-code prefix on
transport-level failures. A DNS hiccup or a GCS 5xx in is_chunk_populated
or mark_chunk_populated was killing the whole populate task. Wrap the
four marker / populate-meta helpers in a tenacity retry that matches
UNAVAILABLE / DEADLINE_EXCEEDED / ABORTED / INTERNAL prefixes only —
NOT_FOUND, INVALID_ARGUMENT, RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED still propagate.

Subject: [PATCH 250/367] feat(ingest): consolidate OCDBT lifecycle under
 `ingest layer`; add task-body mode flags
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`ingest layer N` now owns the whole OCDBT lifecycle when N matches
ocdbt_populate_layer: idempotently runs setup_base (base + fork +
config reconcile), starts the coordinator, queues tasks. Moves
setup_base out of `ingest graph` so there's a single command that
manages OCDBT. Re-pickles the IngestionManager so workers see the
resolved config.

Adds three flags to `ingest layer`:
  --queue-only/-q  : skip the coordinator (one is running elsewhere).
  --ocdbt-only/-o  : workers run only OCDBT populate, skipping
    add_parent_chunk. For re-populating a freshly created/wiped OCDBT
    base against an already-built bigtable graph.
  --ingest-only/-i : workers run only add_parent_chunk, skipping
    OCDBT populate. For rebuilding bigtable against an existing
    OCDBT base.

Refactors create_parent_chunk to a single function with a `mode`
parameter bound at queue time via functools.partial — no duplicated
OCDBT-populate block. _post_task_completion runs unconditionally so
layer-progress tracking in redis stays consistent across modes.

Adds IngestionManager.is_ocdbt_populate_layer(layer) so the compound
guard isn't repeated at every call site.

Subject: [PATCH 252/367] fix(ocdbt): self-heal stale fork manifests; re-enable
 OCDBT seg reads
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`setup_base` calls `fork_base_manifest` once at graph creation, before
populate has committed most of its writes to base. Any base commit
after fork-creation doesn't propagate into the fork's manifest, so
kvstack-routed reads through the fork miss every chunk written to base
afterwards — meshing (and any other OCDBT seg read) returns zeros.

Adds `ensure_fork_synced(ws, graph_id)` in graph/ocdbt/main.py and
calls it from `ChunkedGraphMeta.ws_ocdbt_scales` lazy init. The helper
re-snapshots the fork manifest from base when the fork's data prefix
is empty (no edits) and the manifests differ. Edit-free is the safety
guard: an SV-split writes value/btree files under <graph_id>_d/ before
updating the fork manifest, so a non-empty prefix means an edit either
landed or is in flight and must be preserved. The check is race-free
vs concurrent populate (which writes only to base).

Re-enables the OCDBT path in `get_local_segmentation` that was
temporarily disabled while the kvstack reads returned zeros.

Subject: [PATCH 253/367] feat(meshing): emit `dynamic_mesh_dir` in info JSON
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The unsharded-dynamic-mesh subdir name has been a load-bearing
constant ("dynamic") shared implicitly between mesh_worker (reads
`custom_data["mesh"].get("dynamic_mesh_dir", "dynamic")`) and
neuroglancer (hardcodes the same literal in graphene/backend.ts).
Surface it through:

  - `handle_info` (the Flask `/info` endpoint NG fetches) — so
    `info["dynamic_mesh_dir"]` is exposed alongside `mesh_dir`.
  - `get_json_info` (used internally by meshing modules to build
    CloudVolume `info=` kwargs) — for consistency.

Default preserves existing datasets. Requires a matching NG-side
patch (graphene backend) to read this field instead of the
hardcoded literal.

Subject: [PATCH 254/367] feat(graph): seamless setup for copied bigtables
 (mesh dir + ocdbt fork)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

After a bigtable row-copy clones an existing graph into a new
graph_id, two graph_id-bearing pieces of runtime state must be
reconciled before the new table is usable:

  1. `custom_data["mesh"]["dynamic_mesh_dir"]` carries forward the
     source table's value, which means the new table's edited mesh
     fragments would write into the source's dynamic mesh dir and
     overwrite each other at the same fragment-id keys. Extends the
     existing `graph_id != self.graph_id` shim in ChunkedGraph.__init__
     to also rewrite this field — only when the key is present in the
     copied custom_data — using the new graph_id directly:
        custom_data["mesh"]["dynamic_mesh_dir"] = f"dynamic_{graph_id}"
     `mesh.dir` (initial sharded meshes) is dataset-scoped and
     intentionally shared, so it's not touched.

  2. The per-CG OCDBT fork directory doesn't exist for the new
     graph_id, so `ws_ocdbt_scales` would fire `assert fork_exists`
     and any OCDBT-side read (meshing, sv-lookup, edits) would
     blow up. Replaces the assertion with `if not fork_exists:
     fork_base_manifest(...)`. Idempotent and race-safe: concurrent
     opens write identical base-manifest bytes to the same path;
     can't race with an edit because edits pre-suppose the fork.
     `ensure_fork_synced` immediately after keeps it in step with
     base.

Net effect: copy the bigtable rows, then `ChunkedGraph(graph_id=...)`
once. The shim updates meta in a single update_meta call and the
ws_ocdbt_scales lazy-init creates+syncs the fork. No operator step.

Subject: [PATCH 255/367] fix(deps): pin docker base image digest; regenerate
 requirements.txt
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two symptoms of the same root cause — upstream
`tiangolo/uwsgi-nginx-flask:python3.12` was rebuilt, its digest
changed, and that broke us two ways:

1) Stage-1 cache invalidated → builds went from ~1.5min to 7+min
   (full `conda env create` re-runs on every CI build because the
   FROM layer hash now changes whenever upstream rebuilds the tag).

2) The new base image carried a newer transitive Python package
   set into the conda env, leaving `importlib_metadata` in a
   partial-overlay state in `/app/venv` — `__init__.py` from one
   version on top of file tree from another, missing `_context.py`.
   Imports through messagingclient → google.cloud.pubsub_v1 →
   opentelemetry → opentelemetry.util._importlib_metadata crashed
   with `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named
   'importlib_metadata._context'`.

Pin the base image by digest so subsequent builds get the same
Python file set and the layer cache stays warm. Bump opentelemetry
(via pip-compile --upgrade) to 1.42.x, which dropped the
third-party `importlib_metadata` wrapper in favor of stdlib
`importlib.metadata` — verified inside the 1.42.1 wheel
(opentelemetry/util/_importlib_metadata.py imports
`from importlib.metadata import ...`). With opentelemetry no
longer pulling in the third-party package, no Python 3.12
consumer remains, so pip-compile correctly removed
`importlib-metadata` from the lockfile entirely.

Net dep changes:
  opentelemetry-api/sdk            1.39.1  → 1.42.1
  opentelemetry-semantic-conventions 0.60b1 → 0.63b1
  google-cloud-pubsub              2.35.0  → 2.38.0
  importlib-metadata               8.7.1   → dropped
  + routine minor bumps across pip-compiled deps

requirements.in unchanged. Bump the Dockerfile digest manually
when you want a fresher base.

Subject: [PATCH 256/367] test(graph): align stale tests with current
 bootstrap/ws_cv/ocdbt source

- conftest bootstrap fixtures unpack the OcdbtConfig slot
- ws_cv mock assertions accept the loader's two CloudVolume constructions (info-fetch + cached-handle with info=)
- ws_ocdbt tests bypass OCDBT meta resolution and the fork-sync side-channel that hit real GCS, and relax the call-args check now that get_seg_source_and_destination_ocdbt takes the OcdbtConfig positionally
- cleanup_partial_writes patches _read_source_scales at the call site (ocdbt.main) instead of the package re-export

Subject: [PATCH 257/367] fix(ocdbt): on-disk config wins on open; never assert
 in-code defaults
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Opening an existing OCDBT must not embed a `config` block — tensorstore
validates every field against the on-disk manifest and raises
FAILED_PRECONDITION on any drift. Drift bricks every base that was
created with the older default for `max_inline_value_bytes`.

Only `create_base_ocdbt` keeps `config`; `build_cg_ocdbt_spec` and
`open_base_ocdbt` no longer pass it. Functions still accept the
`OcdbtConfig` arg so callers don't change; it's just not asserted into
the open-time spec.

 ## How this maps onto pychunkedgraph
 
 - `OcdbtConfig` (`pychunkedgraph/graph/ocdbt/meta.py`) → `compression: zstd 12`, `max_inline_value_bytes = 4 KiB`. The 4 KiB threshold keeps small metadata (info JSON, populate markers) inline while forcing every chunk value out-of-line into d/ files — this is what keeps cooperator RPCs under the 4 MiB gRPC ceiling.
-- `create_base_ocdbt` / `open_base_ocdbt` pass `config.ts_config()` so the same OCDBT config persists across opens.
+- `create_base_ocdbt` is the **only** path that embeds `config.ts_config()` in its kvstore spec — that write persists the values into `manifest.ocdbt`. Every open path (`open_base_ocdbt`, `build_cg_ocdbt_spec`) omits the `config` block: tensorstore would otherwise assert our in-code defaults against the on-disk manifest and raise `FAILED_PRECONDITION` on any drift, bricking every existing base. On-disk wins.
 - `populate_chunk` (`pychunkedgraph/ingest/ocdbt.py`) opens the base with `coordinator_address` (distributed mode).
 - `copy_ws_bbox_multiscale` uses **non-atomic** `ts.Transaction()` because of the distributed-mode constraint above.
 - `_dump_failure_to_gcs` writes JSON failure forensics when `ERROR_DUMP` env is set.

Subject: [PATCH 258/367] fix(ocdbt): ensure_fork_synced acts only pre-edit;
 drop noisy steady-state warning
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The function's sole job is closing the setup-base race: snapshot the
fork manifest from base before the fork's first edit. Once any edit
lands the function has nothing to do — base is immutable post-setup,
so manifests *will* diverge by design as the fork moves forward.

Short-circuit on edit-files first (lists `<graph_id>_d/`, no manifest
reads on the hot path) and remove the warning that fired on every
runtime open of every edited CG with a misleading "stale vs base"
framing.

Subject: [PATCH 259/367] feat(meshing): one-shot mesh meta setup + `ingest
 mesh_meta` CLI
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Writes every mesh.* field a new or freshly-copied graph needs to serve
fragments — watershed-cv `info["mesh"]`, sharded mesh spec per layer,
`info["mesh_metadata"]` (uniform draco grid + dynamic dir), and the
bigtable `custom_data["mesh"]` block including `initial_ts`.

Static values come from a `mesh_config:` block in the dataset yaml,
parsed via the new `MeshConfig` dataclass (mirrors `OcdbtConfig`). No
in-code defaults — yaml must supply every static field; only the
graph-id-derived `dynamic_mesh_dir` is optional.

`initial_ts` is set once and preserved on re-runs (changing it would
reclassify node ids and silently break served manifests). When unset,
it's derived from a root id sampled near the volume center.

The CLI subcommand is `ingest mesh_meta GRAPH_ID DATASET_YAML`. It
does not gate on redis ingest progress — the operator decides when
the graph is ready.

Subject: [PATCH 260/367] feat(meshing): 3-day TTL on manifest cache + admin
 endpoint to clear a graph

Every cached manifest fragment (initial + dynamic, present fragments
and DOES_NOT_EXIST markers) now expires after 3 days. Bounds the
cache against stale "X" markers that survived a remesh and against
fragments whose path/offset changed under them.

New POST /table/<table_id>/clear_manifest_cache (no node_id) wipes
every cached fragment under the graph's namespace via SCAN+DEL,
batched so a large fragment set doesn't block redis. Reuses the
existing admin permission decorator used by the per-node clear route.

Subject: [PATCH 261/367] feat(debug): per-block memory + IO tracking on
 HierarchicalProfiler

profile() gains three opt-in kwargs (with_memory, with_rss, counters)
that capture tracemalloc Python heap peak, psutil RSS peak via a 50 ms
sampler thread, and per-call deltas on a caller-supplied counter dict.
Results land in a new self.blocks list of BlockMetrics; metrics_report()
prints them as a fixed-width table.

Default-off so existing profile("name") callers see no behavior change.
Sampler and tracemalloc state are torn down on context exit.

Subject: [PATCH 262/367] feat(graph): PCG_DRY_RUN env var to suppress
 edit-flow writes

Adds pychunkedgraph.graph.dry_run.is_dry_run() (strict "1" match on
PCG_DRY_RUN) and wires it through every write site in the SV-split
edit flow:

- operation._write short-circuits via is_dry_run() instead of the
  cg.meta.READ_ONLY @property (which stays in place for unrelated
  callers).
- A new GraphEditOperation._persist_rows centralizes BT mutation
  writes from _apply and _create_log_record paths; the three external
  cg.client.write callsites in operation.py collapse to one-liners.
- ocdbt.write_seg_chunks returns early so OCDBT delta writes are
  skipped.
- RootLock / IndefiniteRootLock / L2ChunkLock / IndefiniteL2ChunkLock
  __enter__ and __exit__ gain an early-return placed before the
  existing privileged_mode check, so dry-run wins regardless of
  replay state.

Replaces the harness-side monkey-patch design with a single global
toggle: setting PCG_DRY_RUN=1 makes any edit operation a read-only
dry run. Default-off; "true" / "0" / "" / unset all leave production
behavior unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 263/367] feat(debug): SV-split dry-run profile harness

split_profile drives an SV split end-to-end under PCG_DRY_RUN=1,
records per-stage timing + memory + IO into a HierarchicalProfiler,
and snapshots each stage's intermediate value into SplitInputs so
the user can replay a single heavy stage standalone after editing
its source. The full run is pickled under
<tempfile.gettempdir()>/pcg_split_profile/<graph_id>/<payload_sha>/
with a collision check on save and the cache path echoed at the
end of run_split_profile so the run can be copied for retention
before the OS tmp policy reclaims it.

Adds dry_run_scope() context manager next to is_dry_run() so the
harness (and any future caller) sets/restores PCG_DRY_RUN through
one helper rather than poking os.environ.

Subject: [PATCH 264/367] feat(debug): clean per-stage metrics + standalone
 replay helper
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

metrics_report now prints a compact human-readable table — no
banner, auto-scaled time (ms / s) and bytes (KB / MB / GB),
thousands-separator counters, signed rss delta, and all-zero
counter columns hidden. Format helpers _fmt_time / _fmt_bytes /
_fmt_count live module-private. print_report stays unchanged for
timing-only callers.

split_profile.profile_call(cg, name, fn, *args, **kwargs) wraps
one callable under dry_run_scope + count_io + profiler.profile,
returning (profiler, result). Lets the user replay a single stage
standalone after editing its source — pairs with load_run() to
iterate on one heavy stage without redoing the full flow.

ocdbt.ensure_fork_synced honors PCG_DRY_RUN — a defensive gate
on the one OCDBT write outside the gated edit flow. Steady-state
no-op for graphs with prior edits.

Subject: [PATCH 265/367] feat(debug): leaf-level profile() blocks across SV
 split path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Inline get_profiler().profile() blocks now wrap the suspect operations
inside split_supervoxel, update_edges, and split_supervoxel_helper —
seg_read, binary_seg, geodesic_split, build_coords, kdtrees,
get_subgraph, edge_dedup, get_roots_inner, _get_new_edges,
connect_seeds, split_growing, etc. Each captures wall time, Python
heap peak, RSS peak, and IO counters as one BlockMetrics row.

HierarchicalProfiler.__init__ gains with_memory / with_rss instance
defaults (both True) and a default_counters attribute, so inline call
sites stay short — just `with _prof.profile(name):`.

run_split_profile drives the global profiler (reset + enable on
entry, disable on exit) so all inline blocks land in one
profiler.blocks list. Drops the previous top-level profile() wrappers
around the mincut / plan / split_supervoxels / remove_edges stages;
the wrappers stay as capture-only hooks for SplitInputs replay. New
overwrite=False kwarg on run_split_profile; when True, wipes the
cache dir before starting.

Profiler stays a no-op when not explicitly enabled.

From f01eacc8dcf2a256d0f31e7949d7d97dc330394d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Akhilesh Halageri <akhileshhalageri@gmail.com>

Subject: [PATCH 266/367] perf(sv-split): collapse build_coords + remap_to_root
 + binary_seg via fastremap
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

build_coords_by_label now delegates to fastremap.point_cloud — a
single C++ pass that emits uint16 coords grouped by label, treating
0 as background. Before the call, update_edges masks new_seg in
place with fastremap.mask_except(new_seg, new_ids ∪ all_edge_svs)
so point_cloud only emits coords for labels the downstream readers
(kdtrees + coords_by_label.get in _get_new_edges) will actually
query. update_edges is reordered so get_subgraph and
get_roots_inner run first to supply that label set. The caller
does not read seg after update_edges returns, so the in-place
mutation is safe.

remap_to_root drops fastremap.remap(..., in_place=False) — which
allocated a full-size shadow array of seg just to compare against
the target root — for fastremap.mask_except(seg, root_labels,
in_place=True). Same filter, no shadow.

binary_seg replaces np.isin(seg, supervoxel_ids) — which allocates
int-array auxiliaries the size of seg — with a per-SV `==` / `|=`
loop. Computed over seg[voxel_overlap_crop] directly so the
boolean is only as big as the region split_supervoxel_helper
consumes. Empty supervoxel_ids returns all-False, matching the
prior np.isin contract.

split_supervoxel computed fastremap.unique(seg) twice — once for
cut_supervoxels narrowing, once in get_roots — on the same
unmutated seg. Hoisted into a single seg_unique block whose result
both readers reuse, so the sort buffer is paid once at low rss
residual.

Harness-side: metrics_report and print_report no longer gate on
self.enabled (the harness disables the profiler before printing,
which was silencing the reports). run_split_profile saves the
cache before disabling. The metrics table adds cum_wall (from the
first profile() block since reset), rss_start, rss_peak columns;
drops the noisy ocdbt_reads counter.

Subject: [PATCH 267/367] perf(sv-split): confine enforce_cc label-3 dilation
 to its bounding box
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

_resolve_label3_touching_vectorized decided each stray label-3
component's side by dilating the label-1 and label-2 masks over the
whole volume and intersecting with the component mask — two
full-volume binary_dilations that dominated enforce_cc.

The label-3 voxels occupy a small region, so dilate the side masks
only inside the label-3 bounding box, padded by one voxel so the
dilation still reaches the bordering side voxels. The per-component
border counts are identical to the full-volume dilation, so the
split result is unchanged; only the dilated region shrinks to the
label-3 neighborhood.

Enforcement stays at full resolution after upsampling; moving it to
the downsampled grid fragments the labels under the foreground mask
and breaks the single-connected-component guarantee _update_chunks
relies on (covered by test_single_cc_guarantee_with_downsample).

Profiler-side: metrics_report lays the blocks out as a tree (one
column per nesting level, parent-first). Inline profile() blocks
remain only on the steps still time- or memory-suspect (>=2s wall
or >=~0.5GB rss); the cheap steps earlier profiling cleared are
unwrapped to keep the report focused.

Subject: [PATCH 268/367] fix(sv-split): pin get_roots reads to parent_ts for
 deterministic replay
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The SV-split path called cg.get_roots() without a timestamp in both
split_supervoxel (for building sv_root_map) and update_edges (for
mapping edge SVs to roots). Every other operation in the codebase
pins these reads to parent_ts — the pre-op read snapshot passed to
execute() — so a stuck-op replay sees the same graph state as the
original attempt.

Threads parent_ts from MulticutOperation._apply() → split_supervoxels
→ split_supervoxel → update_edges, and passes it to both get_roots
calls. Normal first-attempt runs pass parent_ts=None, which resolves
to current time as before; only replay paths (stuck_ops.replay)
supply a pinned snapshot.

Subject: [PATCH 269/367] refactor: consolidate sv-split into a package with
 co-located docs

Group the supervoxel-split modules under graph/sv_split/ (cutting,
edges, edits, profile, debug) and move the five splitting design docs
into the same package as README/algorithm/design/edges/recovery, so
the split flow and its documentation live behind one boundary instead
of being scattered across graph/, debug/, and docs/. sv_split/__init__
exposes only cutting/edges/edits; profile and debug stay out of it to
keep their app-layer (Flask) and dry-run deps off the core import path.

Promote the hierarchical profiler out of debug/ into a standalone
profiler/ package: hierarchical (HierarchicalProfiler, BlockMetrics,
RSS sampler), utils (formatters), main (global instance + accessors).

operation.py calls plan_sv_splits / split_supervoxels via the
sv_split.edits module object rather than a direct symbol import, so
profile.py's capture wrappers patch the live attribute at call time.

Repoint stuck_ops.py's docstring at the relocated recovery doc.

Union the per-representative chunk sets, sort deterministically so workers with overlapping sets never acquire in opposite orders, lock once.

 ### How the write scope is kept minimal
 
-Only chunks that actually receive new supervoxel IDs get written to storage. Gap chunks that happen to sit inside an envelope but contain no cross-chunk-connected pieces, and neighbor chunks read only for the edge-routing shell, are never written. The segmentation backend is append-only, so writing unchanged bytes would inflate the on-disk delta for no real change.

+# SV splitting — voxel-level cut algorithm
+
+This is the algorithmic core of SV splitting: given the voxels of one
+supervoxel and two cut seeds, partition every voxel into a *source* side and a
+*sink* side. It lives in `graph/sv_split/cutting.py` (`split_supervoxel`,
+`enforce_cc`) plus the coord extraction helper `build_coords_by_label`.
+
+The cut is a **geodesic region grow**, not a voxel graph-mincut: each voxel is
+assigned to whichever seed is nearer in geodesic (anisotropy-aware) travel
+cost across the supervoxel's interior.
+
+## Inputs
+
+- `coords` — `(N, 3)` global voxel coordinates of the supervoxel.
+- `seed_source`, `seed_sink` — global-voxel coordinates of the two cut seeds.
+- `resolution` — voxel size in nm `(x, y, z)`; supplies anisotropy.
+- `voxel_offset` — volume origin (chunk corner).
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **ROI restriction.** Compute the foreground bounding box from `coords` and
+   work inside it only. A dense occupancy volume is allocated over the ROI, not
+   over the whole chunk, so cost scales with foreground extent.
+2. **Seed snapping.** Build a KDTree over the foreground voxel coordinates and
+   snap each seed to its nearest occupied voxel. Seeds need not lie exactly on
+   a foreground voxel.
+3. **EDT → speed / travel-cost map.** A Euclidean distance transform (sampled
+   by `resolution`) gives each voxel its distance to the boundary. Speed favors
+   the interior; geodesic travel cost is `1 / speed`, so paths hug the medial
+   region rather than skimming the surface.
+4. **Geodesic arrival.** `MCP_Geometric` (with `sampling=resolution`, so the
+   metric is anisotropy-aware) computes arrival cost from each seed to every
+   voxel. Each voxel is assigned to the side whose seed it reaches more cheaply.
+5. **Narrow-band proximity boost.** Voxels within `narrow_band_width` of the
+   opposing side receive a cost boost (`proximity_boost`) so the boundary
+   tracks the geometric midline more closely.
+6. **Optional downsampled grid.** When `downsample` is set, the geodesic grow
+   runs on a downsampled grid and is upsampled back. Upsampling happens *before*
+   single-CC enforcement, because upsampling under the foreground mask can
+   fragment a label into disconnected pieces.
+7. **Single-CC enforcement** (`enforce_cc`, when `enforce_single_cc=True`).
+   For each side, keep the largest / seeded 26-connected component; relabel
+   stray components to a transient label `3`. Each label-`3` component is then
+   dilated **within its own bounding box** and reassigned to side 1 or 2 by
+   which side it borders more, with EDT distance as the tie-break. Confining
+   the dilation to the component's bbox is exact: per-component border counts
+   are identical to a full-volume dilation.
+
+## The single-CC invariant
+
+`_update_chunks` (`graph/sv_split/edits.py`) assigns **exactly one new
+supervoxel id per distinct label value per chunk** and performs **no connected
+-component analysis of its own**. It relies entirely on the cut having already
+produced single-CC labels. Therefore every output label out of `enforce_cc`
+**must already be a single connected component** — if a side were left in two
+pieces, both pieces would collapse into one new supervoxel id and the graph
+would gain a spuriously-connected supervoxel.
+
+This is why single-CC is enforced at full resolution and why label-`3` strays
+are resolved rather than dropped.

+# SV splitting — design rationale
+
+Why the [cut](algorithm.md) is shaped the way it is.
+
+## Geodesic region-grow, not a voxel graph-mincut
+
+The split assigns each voxel to the nearer seed by geodesic travel cost rather
+than solving a min-cut on a voxel adjacency graph. A region grow over an
+anisotropy-aware geodesic metric follows the object's medial geometry and
+produces a smooth boundary near the midline, without building and cutting a
+large per-voxel graph for every split.
+
+## Snap seeds to the boundary
+
+Cut seeds come from operator clicks / mincut output and need not land exactly
+on a foreground voxel. Snapping each seed (via KDTree) to the nearest occupied
+voxel makes the grow well-defined regardless of where the seed falls, and keeps
+the two arrival fields rooted inside the object.
+
+## Single-CC enforced at full resolution
+
+Each output side must be a single connected component because the downstream
+writer assigns one new supervoxel id per label and does no CC of its own (see
+the [single-CC invariant](algorithm.md#the-single-cc-invariant)).
+Enforcement runs at full resolution: if the geodesic grow is done on a
+downsampled grid, the result is upsampled *first*, because upsampling under the
+foreground mask can fragment a label into disconnected pieces — enforcing CC
+before that would let the fragments through.
+
+## Resolve strays, don't drop them
+
+Small components cut off from a seeded body are relabeled to a transient label
+and reassigned to whichever side they border more (EDT tie-break) rather than
+discarded. Dropping voxels would lose mass; merging blindly could bridge the
+two sides. Border-count reassignment keeps every voxel while respecting the
+cut.
+
+## Label-3 dilation confined to its bounding box
+
+Reassigning a stray component only needs its local border with each side, so
+the dilation is run inside the component's own bounding box rather than over
+the whole volume. The per-component border counts are identical either way, so
+this is an exact optimization, not an approximation.
+
+## Single-pass coord extraction, in-place masking
+
+`build_coords_by_label` groups voxels by label in a single `np.unique` pass and
+masks in place, instead of allocating a volume-sized boolean array per label.
+The cut likewise works inside the foreground bounding box. Both choices bound
+work to the foreground extent rather than the chunk volume.
+
+## Reads pinned to `parent_ts`
+
+All graph reads during a split are pinned to the operation's `parent_ts` so a
+replay sees the same graph state and allocates the same new supervoxel ids.
+This is what makes interrupted splits safe to re-run (see
+[Recovery](recovery.md)).

Subject: [PATCH 270/367] perf(sv-split): window seed snapping to a bbox around
 the seeds
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Seed snapping ran a cKDTree over every voxel of the supervoxel, twice
per split (~47s, ~40% of a split), because the caller disables the
boundary-only and downsample candidate reductions for safety. Add a
use_bbox lever to snap_seeds_to_segment that restricts the candidate
scan to a box around the seeds — the nearest true voxel is always near
a seed, so the snapped result is identical while the KDTree shrinks by
orders of magnitude. A grow-until-nonempty loop guarantees the window
always contains the true nearest voxel, so the box size is never a
correctness constraint. Both split_supervoxel_helper call sites opt in.

Also: add a plain-terms algorithm overview, and correct the README
bbox description (the read/cut region is the seed envelope plus a
one-chunk margin, not the rep's full piece-set envelope).

 ### How the spatial lock set is computed
 
-For each cross-chunk representative being split, take the envelope of the chunks its cross-chunk-connected pieces live in — the exact chunks whose voxels will be rewritten. Expand by one voxel (= at most one L2 chunk of margin in each direction), because the edge-routing step reads a 1-voxel shell outside the rewritten region to see neighboring supervoxels' labels. Union the per-representative chunk sets, sort deterministically so workers with overlapping sets never acquire in opposite orders, lock once.
+For each cross-chunk representative being split, the read/cut region is the base-voxel envelope of that rep's source and sink seed coordinates, padded by one CG chunk on each side. The cut surface lives between the seeds, so pieces of the rep far from both seeds never participate — the seed envelope is the region that gets read and rewritten, not the rep's full piece-set envelope, which for an SV cut across many chunks can be orders of magnitude larger. To derive the lock set, expand that envelope by one voxel (because the edge-routing step reads a 1-voxel shell outside the rewritten region to see neighboring supervoxels' labels), map it to the overlapping L2 chunks, union the per-representative chunk sets, and sort deterministically so workers with overlapping sets never acquire in opposite orders.
 
 The chunks locked are exactly the chunks the split will touch, plus the 1-chunk margin the shell read requires.

 assigned to whichever seed is nearer in geodesic (anisotropy-aware) travel
 cost across the supervoxel's interior.
 
+## In plain terms
+
+The cut works on a boolean mask of the one supervoxel being split: a voxel is
+*true* if it belongs to that supervoxel and *false* otherwise. Call the true
+voxels "the supervoxel's voxels".
+
+1. **Snap the seeds.** The user clicks a source point and a sink point. Those
+   clicks need not land exactly on one of the supervoxel's voxels, so each seed
+   is moved to the nearest true voxel. This keeps the next step starting inside
+   the object.
+2. **Flood from each seed.** From the source seed, compute the cheapest path to
+   every true voxel, where travelling through the thick interior is cheap and
+   skimming the thin surface is expensive; do the same from the sink seed.
+3. **Assign each voxel to its nearer seed.** A voxel goes to the source side if
+   the source seed reaches it more cheaply, otherwise the sink side. The cut
+   surface is simply where the two floods meet — it naturally lands at the
+   object's thinnest neck.
+4. **Clean up.** Make sure each side is a single connected piece, reassigning
+   any stray fragments to the side they border most.
+
+The rest of this document is the precise version of those four steps.

Subject: [PATCH 271/367] perf(sv-split): skip label-3 reassignment scan when
 no strays exist

The stray-fragment resolver's first action is a full-volume
connected-components labeling of label-3 voxels, after which it
early-returns when there are none. Splits that produce no strays still
paid for that whole-volume scan just to find nothing to do. Guard the
resolver behind a label-3 voxel count so the CC labeling runs only when
a fragment was actually stranded; the count is created solely by the
single-CC enforcement above, so an empty check is exactly the resolver's
own no-op condition.

Route cutting.py's per-stage logging through the package logger
(logger.debug, with the label-3 count at logger.note) instead of the
verbose-gated print helper, and drop the now-unused verbose parameter
from the split functions and their callers.

Subject: [PATCH 272/367] perf(sv-split): write fresh IDs into the seg crop in
 place
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The supervoxel-split step copied the full overlap crop so the fresh IDs lived in a buffer separate from the later
in-place masks. Write them straight into seg's crop view instead, and
capture the OCDBT write payloads plus the source/sink id lookups from
that crop before masking — so they keep the unmasked neighbour SV IDs
the write must preserve. The root mask then runs only for update_edges,
which reads only its own wanted-label set and so is unaffected by the
masked neighbours. Peak memory drops by roughly the crop size; the only
remaining copies are per-changed-chunk, proportional to the edit.

Subject: [PATCH 273/367] fix(sv-split): align chunk lattice to voxel offset,
 drop redundant root mask
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Make pinky (nonzero voxel_offset) SV splits work end to end. Three
coupled changes plus the seg_unique optimization, all in the SV-split
path:

- chunks_overlapping_bbox gains an `origin` arg; the SV-split callers
  pass meta.voxel_bounds[:, 0] so the chunk lattice is anchored where
  PCG's chunks actually start. The origin-0 lattice put new supervoxel
  IDs in the wrong chunk on any offset dataset (and could split a grid
  block across two real chunks); zero-offset graphs were unaffected,
  which is why this stayed hidden.

- Remove the root mask in _route_edges_and_rows. update_edges already
  trims seg to {new ids} ∪ {edge-partner svs} internally; the outer
  mask, keyed on pre-split ids, deleted the freshly written new-SV
  voxels from seg once those ids were written in place — update_edges
  then raised KeyError building their kdtrees.

- seg_unique computes the distinct SV set per chunk over the segment-id
  field, restoring the chunk bits before the final union, instead of a
  full-uint64 unique over the whole read.

Add _assert_same_chunk: every new supervoxel must share a chunk with the
supervoxel it split from. split_supervoxel decomposed into _SplitCtx /
stage helpers. profile.py saves the failing traceback to the run dir
(load_traceback to read it back) and logs only the final exception line.

Subject: [PATCH 274/367] Add scheduling package for weight-balanced work
 partitioning
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

PyChunkedGraph workloads are heavy-tailed: a few units (a giant
supervoxel/component/parent) dwarf the median, so splitting work by count
strands one worker on the giant while the rest idle. lpt_partition
(Longest-Processing-Time) balances by a caller-supplied weight — the
dominant item seeds its own bin and runs solo, and bins are returned
heaviest-first so a pull-based pool dispatches it first. Domain-agnostic
(WorkItem(payload, weight)); mesh stitching is the first caller, ingest
component/chunk work can adopt it later.

+# scheduling
+
+Generic, domain-agnostic load-balancing primitives for parallel work. Nothing
+here knows about meshes, the graph, or any specific workload — callers describe
+work and supply weights; this package decides how to split it across workers.
+
+## Why
+
+PyChunkedGraph workloads are **heavy-tailed**: most units are small, a few are
+enormous (one supervoxel/component/parent can be orders of magnitude larger than
+the median). Splitting such work into equal-*count* chunks strands a worker on
+the one giant chunk while the rest sit idle — the classic distributed
+**straggler**. The fix is to balance by *cost*, not count.
+
+## What it provides
+
+- **`WorkItem(payload, weight)`** — the shared unit of work. `payload` is the
+  caller's data (opaque to the scheduler); `weight` is a cheap cost proxy used
+  only to balance load (child count, component size, byte size, …).
+- **`lpt_partition(items, n_bins)`** — Longest-Processing-Time-first
+  partitioning: sort heaviest-first, greedily place each item in the
+  currently-lightest bin. Makespan ≤ 4/3 × optimal, closer in practice. A
+  dominant item seeds its own bin and runs solo. Bins are returned
+  heaviest-load-first, so a pull-based pool dispatches the dominant bin first.
+- **`n_bins_for(n_items, target_per_bin)`** — bin-count helper.
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from pychunkedgraph.scheduling import WorkItem, lpt_partition, n_bins_for
+
+items = [WorkItem(payload=obj, weight=cost(obj)) for obj in work]
+for bin_items in lpt_partition(items, n_bins_for(len(items), target_per_bin=32)):
+    dispatch([it.payload for it in bin_items])   # one worker batch
+```
+
+## Scope
+
+Partitioning only. It does **not** own the process pool, dispatch, result
+collection, or any fork/teardown handling — those differ per caller (e.g.
+mesh stitching streams results via `imap_unordered`; ingest writes directly via
+`pool.map`). Each caller keeps its own pool and attaches its own shared context;
+this package just decides which items go together.
+
+## Callers
+
+- `meshing/stitch` — balances per-parent stitch work by immediate-child count.
+- ingest connected-component writes / chunk reads are natural future callers
+  (currently count-chunked); they can swap to weight-aware partitioning by
+  wrapping their units in `WorkItem`.

Subject: [PATCH 275/367] Make HierarchicalProfiler fold-on-record, fork-safe,
 and tree-reported
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Fold metrics on record so the block list is bounded by distinct stage
paths, not call count — a per-fragment profiled loop across forked workers
would otherwise grow unbounded and bloat the pickled result. Add
sampled_rss (one RSS sample per block instead of a sampler thread per
profile() call, fatal on hot substages) and call_count; render
metrics/percentile reports as nested trees. Disabled profiler stays a true
no-op; pickling drops the live process handle.

Subject: [PATCH 276/367] Add cgroup peak-memory reader for pod sizing
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

cgroup_peak_bytes reads the cgroup v2 memory high-water mark (v1
fallback) — the whole-cgroup peak k8s enforces — for sizing mesh worker
pods, and is exported from the profiler package. Returns None when no
cgroup memory file is present.

Subject: [PATCH 277/367] Add parallel sharded mesh stitching, mesh-equivalent
 to the serial path
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Layer-3+ stitching forked across a worker pool: the parent does only the
serial work (one graph query, fan-out, collect, synthesize, upload), and
each worker rebuilds its own cg/cv (tensorstore is fork-hostile) and
byte-range-fetches only the fragments it needs. Parents are LPT-partitioned
so the giant straggler runs solo in its own bin; each worker overlaps its
reads with compute via a single-thread prefetch. Merge uses a dense
lookup-table gather and float32 dedup — no per-vertex Python dict, no
float64 upcast. Output is gated mesh-equivalent to the serial meshgen shard
(crc32c, else per-label decoded-mesh parity).

+# stitch — parallel sharded mesh stitching
+
+Parallel rewrite of `meshgen.chunk_initial_sharded_stitching_task` (layer-3+ mesh
+stitching). Output is **mesh-equivalent** to the single-threaded `meshgen` shard
+(crc32c / per-label decoded-mesh gate); correctness is the hard constraint, speed
+is secondary. `meshing.meshing_sqs.MeshTask` dispatches this for layer-3+ chunks;
+the old `meshgen` function is kept (deprecated) but no longer called.
+
+This file is the maintained design + performance reference for the package. Keep
+it in sync when the scheduler, profiler integration, or the byte path changes.
+
+## What it does
+
+For a layer-L chunk, each valid multi-child parent's descendant fragments are
+fetched from the lower-layer `initial` sharded meshes, transformed into the
+parent's quantization, merged across the chunk boundary, re-encoded as draco, and
+written to one output shard.
+
+## Module map
+
+| file | role |
+|------|------|
+| `task.py` | parent orchestration: whole-chunk scan → LPT batches → fork pool → collect → synthesize → upload. Public: `chunk_initial_sharded_stitching_task_mp`. |
+| `worker.py` | per-process work: rebuilds its own `cg`/`cv`, resolves descendants, byte-range fetches fragments, stitches. Pure `with prof.profile(...)` instrumentation. |
+| `utils.py` | `cg`-free geometry/transform/merge helpers (the byte math, mirrors `meshgen`), `MipInfo`, `derive_batch_size`, `sample_debug`. |
+| `profile.py` | notebook-driven harness: run + crc32c/mesh compare against production + metrics report. Never writes production. |
+| `_forkdiag.py` | one-shot fork-safety diagnostic (debug only). |
+
+Batch balancing lives in the generic `pychunkedgraph/scheduling` package
+(`lpt_partition`), not here — see its README.
+
+## Design decisions (the load-bearing ones)
+
+**Fork safety.** tensorstore (the watershed `cv`) installs a fork-hostile guard;
+a forked child that touches it `abort()`s. So workers never receive a live `cg`/
+`cv` — they rebuild from `cg.get_serialized_info()` (`{graph_id}`) + the graphene
+`info` dict (the ingest pattern). The `mp.Pool` is forked **before** the parent
+touches the network. Plain `fork`, no spawn. (`_forkdiag.py` localizes this.)
+
+**Memory.** Workers byte-range-fetch only the labels they need
+(`readers[layer].get_data`), never whole shards, no cache — fetching whole shards
+blows the per-worker footprint up by orders of magnitude.
+
+**Anti-straggler scheduling (LPT).** Per-parent cost is heavy-tailed: most parents
+are small, a few are orders of magnitude larger (a single giant fragment can dwarf
+the rest combined). A fixed-size batch that happens to hold the giant strands one
+worker while the others idle. `_make_batches` uses `scheduling.lpt_partition`
+(Longest-Processing-Time: sort heaviest-first by immediate-child count, assign each
+to the least-loaded bin) so the giant **seeds its own bin and runs solo** while the
+rest pack the others. Bins are yielded heaviest-first so the giant dispatches first.
+Makespan floor is the giant's own solo encode — irreducible (see profile below).
+
+**Read/compute overlap.** Each batch is split into two halves; the second half's
+fragments are prefetched on a single-thread `ThreadPoolExecutor` while the first
+half stitches (GCS read is GIL-released IO, stitch is CPU). One fetch in flight →
+at most two halves' bytes resident (lower peak than fetching the whole batch).
+
+**Profiling.** All measurement lives in `HierarchicalProfiler`; call sites are pure
+`with prof.profile("name")` blocks. The worker times decode/transform/merge/encode
+(per fragment/parent) and samples RSS **once per batch** (the `stitch` block,
+`sampled_rss=True`) — the hot substages are timing-only. The harness flips
+`get_profiler().enabled = True` (and `with_memory_default=False`,
+`with_rss_default=False`) once before the fork; workers inherit it. Production
+(env unset) is a true no-op. Per-batch profiler blocks are folded on record, so the
+block list is bounded by the number of distinct stages, not the call count.
+
+## Measured profile (full run, 16 workers, LPT)
+
+Output `MESH-EQUIVALENT` to production. Shares are of aggregate worker CPU time
+(sum across the process pool):
+
+| stage | share | nature |
+|------|------|------|
+| encode | ~47 % | one `DracoPy.encode_mesh_to_buffer` per parent (C, the floor) |
+| decode | ~29 % | one `DracoPy.decode_buffer_to_mesh` per descendant fragment (C) |
+| read | ~14 % | GCS byte-range fetch (IO; overlapped) |
+| merge | ~4 % | numpy concat + dedup per parent |
+| transform | ~2 % | numpy affine per fragment |
+| graph | <1 % | bigtable descendant resolution |
+
+**The wall is the giant straggler's encode.** The single largest fragment's encode
+is a double-digit percentage of total wall on its own — that one parent holds the
+job open after the rest of the pool finishes. LPT isolates it (own solo bin,
+dispatched first), but a single mesh's encode is irreducible: DracoPy has no
+batch/streaming encode, and the fragment can't be split without changing output
+bytes. Compute (encode+decode+merge) ≈ 80 % — cores are saturated; the residual is
+this tail.
+
+## Batchability of decode/transform/merge/encode
+
+Researched (incl. feasibility of adding a batch API to DracoPy, which we own).
+Bottom line: cores are already saturated by the process pool, so thread-level
+re-parallelization of CPU work the pool already parallelizes is theater. Only
+work-reducing or genuinely-idle-core changes help.
+
+| stage | batchable? | byte-safe? | payoff (cores saturated) | verdict |
+|------|------|------|------|------|
+| **decode** | yes — `decode_many` C++ loop in DracoPy, nogil/OpenMP; per-buffer calls are self-contained, no shared state | yes (results in input order) | ~0 common case; only the giant's thousands of fragment decodes vs 15 idle cores during its solo tail | **straggler-only, likely not worth it** |
+| **encode** | no — giant straggler is ONE mesh = one un-batchable `encode_mesh` | n/a | none | **no** |
+| **transform** | partial — group by source layer, stacked affine via `np.repeat` origins | yes (element-wise, no reduction) | ~1 % ceiling, eroded by grouping | **not worth it** |
+| **merge** | already 1 op/parent; two work-reducing trims applied (below) | yes (byte-gated) | real — cuts CPU + transient allocs on big parents | **done** |
+
+Net: cores are already saturated by the process pool, so a DracoPy batch API
+(`decode_many`/`encode_many`) only re-parallelizes work the pool already does —
+worthless in the common case. Encode can never be batched (the giant straggler is a
+single mesh). Decode batching is defensible only for the giant's fragment decodes
+during its solo tail, and even that is undercut by its un-batchable encode. The full
+source-cited feasibility study (DracoPy `.pyx`/`.h`/draco internals, the GIL/nogil
+analysis, the cheaper zero-copy `np.frombuffer` alternative) lives outside the repo
+at `dist/meshing-perf/dracopy-batch-feasibility.md` for review.
+
+## Applied byte-gated optimizations
+
+In `utils.merge_draco_meshes_across_boundaries_pure` (each verified mesh-equivalent
+against production):
+1. **Dense lookup-table gather for the index remap** — a `lut = np.empty(N, uint32)`
+   indexed by old vertex id and gathered as `new_faces = lut[faces]`, instead of a
+   per-vertex Python dict + `fastremap.remap`. Same result (dense integer remap),
+   no multi-million-entry dict on big parents.
+2. **float32 dedup, index carried out of band** — the index column rides alongside
+   as `uint32` rather than `hstack`ed onto the vertices (which would upcast them to
+   float64 and double the `np.unique` working set); `np.unique` runs on float32 and
+   the vertices stay float32 through encode.
+
+Also: `meshgen.decode_draco_mesh_buffer` uses `np.asarray` (zero-copy view of the
+DracoPy buffer, not a copy); descendant resolution and per-layer bucketing are
+batched (one `get_downstream_multi_child_nodes` / one `get_chunk_layers` per call).
+
+## Verification
+
+Offline gates (pcg env, no live cg) — recreate under `/tmp` or promote to pytest:
+- `scheduling` LPT: `pychunkedgraph/tests/scheduling/test_partition.py` (committed).
+- `_make_batches` LPT contract (parent set + child lists preserved, giant isolated solo).
+- `sample_debug` medium..tiny selection.
+- prefetch `_split_in_two` / `_group_labels` (each parent stitched once with its own labels, overlap occurs, ≤2 halves resident).
+- profiler: disabled = no-op (0 `memory_info`); substage blocks spawn no sampler thread; fold-on-record (sum elapsed/call_count, max rss, min-nonzero start); `from_blocks` composes; pickle drops `_proc`; consumers (`print_report`/`metrics_report`) intact.
+
+Live (notebook): `profile.run_parallel(cg, chunk_id, mip=0, out_subdir="test_par")`
+then `profile.compare_against_production(cg, chunk_id, "test_par")` → must be
+**MESH-EQUIVALENT** (crc32c fast path, else per-label decoded-mesh parity). The
+compare fails fast on the first mismatched label by default; pass `fail_fast=False`
+to scan all and report the total mismatch count. Use `max_parents=` for a fast
+medium-sized preview (`out_subdir="test_debug"`, `subset=True` compare →
+**SUBSET-EQUIVALENT**).
+
+## Config knobs
+
+- `n_processes` arg, or `PCG_MESH_STITCH_WORKERS` env (arg wins; else env; else cpu_count).
+- `PCG_PROFILER_ENABLED=1` or the harness flipping `get_profiler().enabled` enables the report.

Subject: [PATCH 278/367] Add profiling + correctness harness for the parallel
 stitch
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

profile.py runs the parallel stitch to a test_* prefix (never production),
reports per-stage timing, percentiles, and per-worker peak RSS, and compares
the produced shard against production for mesh-equivalence — failing fast on
the first mismatched label by default (fail_fast=False scans all and reports
the total). _forkdiag.py is a one-shot fork-safety diagnostic.

Subject: [PATCH 279/367] Decode draco buffers as zero-copy views; deprecate
 the serial stitch fn
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

decode_draco_mesh_buffer returns np.asarray views of the DracoPy point and
face buffers instead of copies — faces are read-only downstream and vertices
are mutated only in a freshly-allocated buffer, so the views are safe. Mark
chunk_initial_sharded_stitching_task deprecated; it stays as the reference
the parallel path is gated against.

Subject: [PATCH 282/367] Harden parallel stitch for heavy chunks
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Retry the byte-range fragment fetch on transient short reads
(DecompressionError / IntegrityError) — a truncated sharded read decodes a
layer above cloudfiles' own retry, where one failure aborted the whole
worker pool. Free merge and decoded-fragment intermediates eagerly to trim
the per-worker peak. NOTES.md records the remaining structural peak-memory
issue, a large-chunk test handle, and the streaming/throttle levers for later.

+# stitch — notes (known issues, test handles, future work)
+
+Secondary material that doesn't belong in `README.md` (the design reference).
+
+## Large-chunk test handle
+
+`experimental_pinky_lgsv_split_v0` layer-6 chunk `451485862643892224` — ~28k
+parents, ~5.5 GB shard, an ~83M-vertex giant fragment. One of the larger shards in
+that dataset; a good memory/perf optimization target. Reproduce with
+`debug.repro_chunk(cg, 451485862643892224)`.
+
+## Known issue — peak memory OOM on small nodes
+
+Heavy layer-6 chunks drive whole-cgroup peak RSS above a small node's limit
+(~40 GB peak at 24 workers vs a 28 GB node), OOM-ing a worker mid-run. Reproduces
+only under that memory pressure — the chunk above completes cleanly with more
+headroom / fewer workers.
+
+Measured split (the chunk above, 16 workers): per-worker peak RSS p50 ≈ 0.75 GB,
+max ≈ 2.2 GB (the giant's worker). The peak is dominated by the **parent synthesize
+transient** — `acc.merged_meshes` accumulates every encoded mesh, then
+`synthesize_shard` holds ~2-3× the ~5.5 GB shard — **plus** the broad sum of
+concurrent per-worker working sets (~0.75 GB × N). No single giant worker dominates;
+both terms stack to ~40 GB at 24 workers.
+
+Eager `del` of merge/decoded-fragment intermediates (in `worker._stitch_one` and
+`utils.merge_draco_meshes_across_boundaries_pure`) trims only a few GB — not enough
+to close the gap on its own.
+
+## Future levers (neither done; parent term is the bigger one)
+
+- **Stream the shard via a tmp dir.** Workers write each encoded mesh to a
+  `mesh_path/<tmp>/<label>` blob as it finishes; the parent never accumulates, and
+  final synthesis streams blobs from the tmp dir into the shard, freeing each.
+  Removes the parent accumulation + synthesize transient (the dominant term). Costs
+  ~one extra GCS put/get per parent; needs tmp cleanup on success/failure and a
+  byte-identity gate against the in-RAM path.
+- **Throttle concurrency while a giant is in flight** (or size workers by memory,
+  not cores) to bound the `N × per-worker` mid-run term without idling cores the
+  rest of the time.
+
+Measure the parent-vs-worker split before choosing — it decides which lever closes
+the gap.

Subject: [PATCH 283/367] Run each initial-mesh chunk in a forked child that
 exits

MeshTask.execute forks each chunk into a child that meshes and exits. A
long-lived poll process accumulates dirty grpc/s2n/cloudfiles state and
unreleased heap across chunks; a worker pool forked from that dirty parent
inherits both, corrupting sharded reads at ~0% and OOMing after a couple
chunks. The child's exit returns all of it to the OS, so the next chunk forks
clean. meshing_batch derives a layer's chunks from meta and gains --skip to
pass over already-written shards.

Subject: [PATCH 284/367] Reclaim mesh-buffer heap after the stitch shard write

A direct caller looping over chunks (notebook, profiler) does not fork, so the
freed mesh buffers accumulate: gc drops the refs but glibc retains the arenas.
malloc_trim after the write returns them to the OS.

Subject: [PATCH 285/367] refactor: extract sv_lookup package; root-constrained
 3D click resolution

Move all supervoxel-from-coords lookup into pychunkedgraph/graph/sv_lookup/.
The new package owns lookup_svs_from_seg (moved from graph/utils/generic.py)
and get_atomic_id*_from_coord* (moved from graph/utils/id_helpers.py), plus a
new orchestrator that enforces one explicit 2D-vs-3D contract.

- main.resolve_supervoxels_at_coords reads the seg at every coord
  (segmentation-agnostic; OCDBT or precomputed CV) and uses the caller's
  node_ids only as a layer hint. A layer-1 node_id (2D slice click) means
  "return the literal seg SV at that voxel" with no constraint or search.
  A layer >= 2 node_id (3D mesh pick) is interpreted as the root the user
  clicked: the literal SV is accepted when its current root matches,
  otherwise a per-root growing-radius search via get_atomic_ids_from_coords
  picks the nearest SV that actually belongs to that root.

- handle_supervoxel_id_lookup in app_utils is now a thin delegation to the
  orchestrator; the inner ccs() helper, the OCDBT shortcut, and the
  growing-radius loop all live in the package.

- get_atomic_ids_from_coords no longer short-circuits on ocdbt_seg; it
  goes through get_local_segmentation like the rest of the package.

The atomic-ids tests move to tests/graph/test_sv_lookup_utils.py. New
orchestrator tests in tests/graph/test_sv_lookup_main.py exercise the
contract against a real bigtable-emulator cg with a sliceable in-memory
seg, covering 2D, 3D-interior, 3D-needs-search, growing-radius
break-on-success, mixed batches with multiple roots, and the all-2D /
all-3D-interior cost-ceiling guarantees.

Bug fixed: 3D mesh clicks that landed on the wrong voxel (or on a
voxel-face neighbour) would silently resolve to whatever SV the seg
literally held, even when its current root differed from the root the
user clicked. The split request would then fail at _update_root_ids
with "Supervoxels must belong to the same segment". The orchestrator
now uses the supplied root as the search parent and returns an SV that
actually belongs to it.

Also tighten _update_root_ids' multi-root PreconditionError: instead of
dumping every supplied sv->root pair, name the majority root as the
required one and list only the supervoxels whose root differs (sv->root
each), so the actionable subset is immediately visible.

+# sv_lookup
+
+Resolve voxel coordinates from interactive UI clicks (split, merge) to
+the current supervoxel IDs that those coordinates physically belong to.
+Every coord is answered from a **current segmentation read** —
+segmentation-agnostic with respect to backend (OCDBT or precomputed
+CloudVolume), dispatched by `graph.utils.generic.get_local_segmentation`.
+
+The caller-supplied `node_ids` are interpreted **only as a layer hint**
+to distinguish a 2D slice click from a 3D mesh click. No SV id, root
+id, or other value from the client is trusted as the answer.
+
+## Contract
+
+| Input layer | Click origin | Behaviour |
+|---|---|---|
+| `layer == 1` | 2D slice canvas (NG attaches the L1 SV from the slice view) | Return the literal seg SV at that voxel. No constraint, no search. Stale L1 ids from the UI are ignored because the seg is the source of truth. |
+| `layer >= 2` | 3D mesh pick (NG attaches the root the user clicked) | Read the literal seg SV. If its current root equals the supplied root → return the literal. Otherwise run a parent-constrained nearest-SV search using the supplied root, at growing radii. |
+
+The cost ceiling, derived from the contract:
+
+| Case | seg reads | `get_roots` | `get_atomic_ids_from_coords` |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| All coords are 2D | 1 | 0 | 0 |
+| All coords are 3D-interior (literal root already matches) | 1 | 1 | 0 |
+| 3D coord(s) need a search, all share one root | 1 | 1 | ≤ `len(max_dist_steps)` |
+| 3D coords need a search across `k` distinct roots | 1 | 1 | one growing-radius sequence per root |
+
+The growing-radius schedule defaults to
+`np.array([4, 8, 14, 28]) * mean(meta.resolution)` nm — the loop breaks
+as soon as one radius returns a result for a given root.

+- `utils.get_atomic_ids_from_coords(meta, coordinates, parent_id,
+  parent_id_layer, parent_ts, get_roots, max_dist_nm)` — the

+  around the input coords, maps every voxel to its root via `get_roots`,
+  then picks the nm-closest voxel whose root matches `parent_id` for
+  each input coord. Returns `None` if no voxel within `max_dist_nm` matches.

+                        └── sv_lookup.utils.get_atomic_ids_from_coords
+```
+
+`cg.get_atomic_ids_from_coords` (defined on `ChunkedGraph`) is the
+method wrapper around `utils.get_atomic_ids_from_coords`; it provides
+`parent_ts` from the parent's node timestamps and short-circuits a
+layer-1 parent to `[parent_id] * N`. The orchestrator only ever invokes
+it with a root (layer ≥ 2), so the layer-1 short-circuit never fires
+from this path.
+
+## Tests
+
+- `tests/graph/test_sv_lookup_main.py` — orchestrator behaviour using a
+  real bigtable-backed `gen_graph`, with `meta._ws_cv` swapped for a
+  small sliceable in-memory seg. Covers 2D-only, 3D-interior,
+  3D-on-background, search-exhausted, growing-radius-breaks-on-success,
+  mixed-batch-with-multiple-roots, and the all-2D / all-3D-interior
+  cost-ceiling guarantees.
+- `tests/graph/test_sv_lookup_utils.py` — the low-level

Subject: [PATCH 286/367] refactor: assert_same_root helper for multi-root
 precondition errors

Five sites raised "Supervoxels must belong to the same object" with a
sv_id->root dump of every input. Centralise in utils.generic.assert_same_root:
pick the majority root as required, list only offenders, prefix with the
call-site tag so identical-shape errors fired from different places are
greppable. Sites: SplitOperation._update_root_ids,
SplitOperation._apply, MulticutOperation._update_root_ids,
MulticutOperation._run_multicut, run_split_preview.
MergeOperation._apply keeps its inverted-semantics inline check with a
matching [MergeOperation._apply] tag.

Subject: [PATCH 287/367] fix(sv-split): pick fresh source/sink IDs from cut
 labels; cluster-tight bbox

_apply_and_capture's literal new_seg[user_coord] could return a
pre-existing neighbour SV outside the locked root when the user's coord
sat on a boundary voxel. Replace with _pick_fresh_source_sink_ids:
select a label-1 / label-2 pair from the SAME old SV so they sit in one
chunk with a direct 0.001 inter-fragment bridge. The retry multicut
collapses cross-chunk-connected SVs via inf-affinity edges, so one
representative per side yields the same min-cut.

Shrink the geodesic-cut bbox via sv_split.bbox_cluster.tight_bbox:
single-link clustering on nm-scaled seeds, then pick the (src cluster,
sink cluster) pair with the most combined seeds; volume tiebreak.
Outlier clicks far from the user's intent cluster no longer stretch
the bbox driving the geodesic flood.

Move split_supervoxel_helper into edits.py with a (ctx, binary_seg)
signature; thread sv_id to split_supervoxel_growing for per-task log
tagging. Wrap edt_mask and geodesic_arrival stages with _prof.profile
so the metrics breakdown matches split_growing's wall. Consolidate
per-stage timings in update_edges and _route_edges_and_rows; bracket
every per-task run with [sv_split:start] / [sv_split:end]; bulk ID
dumps moved to logger.debug; connect_seeds gets its own logger.note.

+"""Dense-cluster bbox selection for SV-split seeds.
+
+Public entry point: ``tight_bbox(cg, src_coords, sink_coords)`` — same shape
+contract as ``edits._coords_bbox``. Picks the source / sink cluster pair
+whose combined bbox is smallest, so outlier seeds don't stretch the
+geodesic-cut bbox.
+
+Outliers are not verified here. They surface downstream:
+
+- The SV-split bbox computed by this module bounds only the geodesic
+  voxel cut. The retry multicut in ``MulticutOperation._run_multicut``
+  builds its own bbox from the full ``source_coords`` / ``sink_coords``
+  (via ``get_bbox`` with ``split_bounding_offset``). The retry's local
+  subgraph therefore spans the whole user-intent region, including
+  voxels where the outlier seeds live.
+- An outlier whose physical SV ended up on the wrong side of the cut
+  manifests as a connectivity or root violation in the retry multicut:
+  ``_filter_graph_connected_components`` raises
+  ``PreconditionError: Not all sinks and sources are within the same
+  (local) connected component`` (or a multi-root error from
+  ``assert_same_root``).
+- An outlier seed inside an SV piece that the cut didn't touch is
+  still part of the post-split graph because the unsplit pieces keep
+  their original IDs and edges. The retry mincut decides which side
+  they belong to.
+
+Net: the SV-split bbox shrinks the geodesic work; the retry multicut
+remains the authoritative arbiter of whether the user's full seed
+configuration is satisfiable.

Subject: [PATCH 288/367] chore(sv-split): RunRecord rename, cleaner harness
 output
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Rename SplitInputs → RunRecord (carries inputs, intermediates, AND
op.execute()'s return); capture op.execute() into record.result. Print
a one-line `result:` summary at end of run — record.result on success,
last-line traceback on raise; remove the redundant stderr "raised" print.
Strip caret-pointer lines and blank lines from cached tracebacks via
_clean_traceback so load_traceback() returns a compact diff-friendly
string. Point [split_profile] run cached at <metrics.txt|traceback.txt>
so the path opens directly in an editor. Patch seg-binding for
get_local_segmentation on sv_lookup.utils (the binding lives there now).

Subject: [PATCH 289/367] chore(deploy): suppress kube-probe access logs and
 uWSGI cheaper chatter
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

nginx: override the entrypoint-generated /etc/nginx/nginx.conf by
placing our copy at /app/nginx.conf — the tiangolo base entrypoint
detects /app/nginx.conf and copies it into place before generating
the rest. Adds a $http_user_agent map flagging kube-probe as
not-loggable and a single http-scope access_log gated on that flag.

uwsgi: add log-drain regexes to drop the [busyness] cheaper-algo
traces, worker-cheap confirmations, and the SIGTERM-hook activation
line. Master-process logs (reloads, harakiri, worker-reload-mercy)
remain visible.

Subject: [PATCH 290/367] fix(deploy): inline server block in override
 nginx.conf

The tiangolo entrypoint skips generating /etc/nginx/conf.d/nginx.conf
(the server block with listen + uwsgi_pass) and upload.conf when
/app/nginx.conf is present. Without those, nginx never binds port 80
and the liveness/readiness probes get "connection refused".

Inline the server block (listen 80, uwsgi_pass via unix socket) and
client_max_body_size 0 (matching the unlimited default) directly in the
override so it doesn't depend on the entrypoint generating them.

Subject: [PATCH 291/367] chore(sv-split): extract state dataclasses to
 state.py

edits.py now imports SvSplitTask / SplitCtx / ApplyResult / SvSplitOutcome /
SplitResult from a leaf state module so future helpers can reference the
same containers without cycles. sv_split/debug.py removed (sole importer in
common.py never called it); *debug.py joins .gitignore.

Subject: [PATCH 292/367] refactor(sv-split): drop DBSCAN seed-cluster bbox
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

plan_sv_splits now uses _coords_bbox (full envelope + one CG-chunk margin)
instead of bbox_cluster.tight_bbox. The cluster-pair selection eliminated
non-clustered seeds from the SV-split's bbox, leaving cross-chunk INF edges
between unsplit annulus pieces and the retry multicut's wider bbox — a
class of bridge the retry mincut could not cut. bbox_cluster.py and its
tests removed.

-"""Dense-cluster bbox selection for SV-split seeds.
-
-Public entry point: ``tight_bbox(cg, src_coords, sink_coords)`` — same shape
-contract as ``edits._coords_bbox``. Picks the source / sink cluster pair
-whose combined bbox is smallest, so outlier seeds don't stretch the
-geodesic-cut bbox.
-
-Outliers are not verified here. They surface downstream:
-
-- The SV-split bbox computed by this module bounds only the geodesic
-  voxel cut. The retry multicut in ``MulticutOperation._run_multicut``
-  builds its own bbox from the full ``source_coords`` / ``sink_coords``
-  (via ``get_bbox`` with ``split_bounding_offset``). The retry's local
-  subgraph therefore spans the whole user-intent region, including
-  voxels where the outlier seeds live.
-- An outlier whose physical SV ended up on the wrong side of the cut
-  manifests as a connectivity or root violation in the retry multicut:
-  ``_filter_graph_connected_components`` raises
-  ``PreconditionError: Not all sinks and sources are within the same
-  (local) connected component`` (or a multi-root error from
-  ``assert_same_root``).
-- An outlier seed inside an SV piece that the cut didn't touch is
-  still part of the post-split graph because the unsplit pieces keep
-  their original IDs and edges. The retry mincut decides which side
-  they belong to.
-
-Net: the SV-split bbox shrinks the geodesic work; the retry multicut
-remains the authoritative arbiter of whether the user's full seed
-configuration is satisfiable.

Subject: [PATCH 293/367] chore(sv-split): consolidate docs, add dry-run-toggle
 profile harness

- Single sv_split/README.md replaces algorithm/design/edges/recovery
  (design, flow, voxel-level cut, edge re-routing, concurrency, storage,
  recovery, performance, failure modes, source map).
- profile.run_split_profile gains dry_run=True kwarg; dry_run_scope is
  entered only when set so the harness can profile production writes.
- chunkedgraph.get_earliest_timestamp returns epoch instead of implicit
  None when no op-log entry exists in 0..99 (clean tables).
- cutting.split_supervoxel_growing logs label-1/2/3 voxel counts in the
  resolve3 step via one np.bincount pass.

 # Supervoxel splitting
 
-## What it is
+Reference for the SV-split sub-flow of a multicut edit. Covers what the
+operation does, where it sits in the edit pipeline, the voxel-level cut
+algorithm, edge re-routing afterwards, the concurrency / storage contracts,
+recovery, performance characteristics, and the failure modes.
 
-A *supervoxel split* bisects one physical supervoxel — a connected region in the raw segmentation — along a user-seeded cut. The user supplies a source coordinate and a sink coordinate inside one supervoxel; the system finds a cut surface separating them and assigns new supervoxel IDs to each half, writing the updated segmentation and the corresponding graph hierarchy.
+---
 
-This only runs on segmentations stored in OCDBT (a writable, append-only segmentation backend). With a read-only segmentation backend the split path is never entered; the multicut instead surfaces a precondition error asking the user to pick different source/sink points.
+## 1. Overview
 
-## Why it's needed
+A *supervoxel split* bisects one physical supervoxel — a connected region in
+the raw segmentation — along a user-seeded cut. The user supplies source and
+sink seeds inside one SV; the system finds a cut surface, mints fresh L0 ids
+for each side, rewrites the affected OCDBT segmentation chunks, and reroutes
+every graph edge that used to reference the old SV.
 
-The graph is stored in **chunks**: the segmentation volume is partitioned into a regular 3D grid, and each chunk owns its own set of supervoxel IDs. When a physical supervoxel spans a chunk boundary, it is artificially cut into multiple graph-level supervoxel IDs — one per chunk — with infinite-affinity *cross-chunk edges* connecting the pieces so the graph still represents one physical object.
+The SV-split runs only when the multicut detects that source and sink resolve
+to the same physical SV across chunk boundaries — i.e. they sit in the same
+INF-connected component of the chunk graph. A multicut cannot sever an
+INF-affinity edge, so the only way to honour the user's cut is to actually
+split the underlying voxels and produce new ids the graph mincut can then cut
+between.
 
-The multicut algorithm runs on a local graph around source and sink. If it finds that source and sink sit inside the same cross-chunk-connected component — i.e., in the same physical supervoxel — a clean graph cut cannot separate them without first **splitting that physical supervoxel at the voxel level** and giving the resulting halves fresh IDs. That voxel-level cut is what the split flow does. The multicut runs again against the refreshed graph and produces the graph-level edges to remove.
+Only graphs whose segmentation is OCDBT-backed (`meta.ocdbt_seg=True`) can
+run SV-splits — the operation needs a writable segmentation store. On
+read-only segmentation backends the multicut surfaces a `PreconditionError`
+instead of attempting the split.

-### Notes on the flow
-
-- **"SV split required" is a return value, not an exception.** The multicut returns one of several tagged outcomes so the caller dispatches with a straight branch. Nothing uses raise/catch for control flow, which is what allows the root lock to stay held across the detect-then-split-then-commit sequence without the exception unwinding the lock.
-
-- **The cross-chunk-representative mapping** comes out of the multicut for free: as part of building its local graph it stitches every cross-chunk-connected group of graph-level supervoxels into one node and records the mapping. That map tells the split step which supervoxels are artificially-cut pieces of one physical SV, and which of them sit on a source→sink bridge.
-
-- **The split is per-representative.** If two unrelated physical supervoxels both need splitting in one edit (rare but possible), each is handled in its own pass under the same L2 chunk lock.
-
-## Concurrency design
-
-Two races exist at the segmentation layer even with root locks in place:
-
-- **Same-root race.** Without care, the root lock could drop between "detect split needed" and "perform split", letting another edit on the same root slip in and race for the same supervoxel pieces.
-- **Cross-root spatial race.** Two edits on entirely distinct roots can target supervoxels whose pieces live in overlapping chunks. Root locks don't serialize them; segmentation writes would clobber each other.
-
-The split flow closes both:
-
-- **Root lock scope covers the full operation.** Detection, supervoxel-level split, retry detection, commit — all under one root lock. Same-root interleaving is impossible; any other edit on the root waits for this one to finish.
+Key timing rules:
+
+- `SvSplitRequired` is a **return value**, not an exception. The root lock
+  stays held across detect → split → retry → commit; nothing unwinds.
+- SV-split writes (`write_seg_chunks` + `_persist_rows`) land **before** the
+  retry multicut. If the retry rejects the cut, the SV writes stay durable
+  (orphan fragments) — the op aborts to the user but the segmentation has
+  moved.
+- SV-split is per-rep. Each cross-chunk-connected rep that bridges src↔sink
+  is handled by its own task under the same L2 lock set.
+
+## 3. Voxel-level cut
+
+The cut is a **geodesic region grow**, not a voxel graph mincut. Each voxel
+of the SV being split is assigned to whichever seed it reaches first in an
+anisotropy-aware geodesic cost field. Lives in
+[`sv_split/cutting.py`](../cutting.py) (`split_supervoxel_growing`,
+`_enforce_single_component`) and the helper `build_coords_by_label`.
+
+### Inputs
+
+- `binary_seg` — `(Z, Y, X)` boolean mask of the SV's voxels in the task bbox.
+- `seed_source`, `seed_sink` — global mip0 voxel seed coords.
+- `sampling` — voxel size in nm `(x, y, z)`; supplies anisotropy.
+
+### Steps
+
+1. **Foreground bbox crop.** Tight bbox of `binary_seg`'s True voxels;
+   geodesic runs on this sub-volume only. MCP_Geometric array allocations
+   scale with foreground extent, not task bbox.
+2. **Seed ridge bridge + snap.** `connect_both_seeds_via_ridge` builds a
+   path from each seed to a foreground ridge; each seed snaps to the
+   nearest in-mask voxel via kdtree. Seeds need not land on a foreground
+   voxel.
+3. **EDT → speed → travel cost.**
+   `dist = _compute_edt(sv, sampling)`;
+   `speed = clip((dist / dist.max()) ** gamma_neck, eps, 1)` with
+   `gamma_neck ≈ 1.6`; `travel_cost = 1 / speed`. Interior is cheap, neck
+   is expensive — the cut tracks the thinnest section of the SV.
+4. **Geodesic arrival.** `MCP_Geometric(travel_cost, sampling=sampling_ds)`
+   from each seed-set; each voxel goes to the side it reaches more cheaply.
+   `sampling_ds = sampling × downsample_geodesic` so the geodesic stays in
+   physical-nm units regardless of stride.
+5. **Narrow-band proximity boost.** Voxels within `narrow_band_rel` of the
+   opposing side get a cost boost so the boundary tracks the midline.
+6. **Single-CC enforcement** (`_enforce_single_component`). For each side
+   keep the largest 26-connected component containing a seed; relabel
+   strays to a transient label 3. Each label-3 component is dilated within
+   its own bbox and reassigned to side 1 or 2 by border-count majority,
+   EDT tiebreak.
+7. **Embed back.** Result is a `uint16` map with values `{0, 1, 2}` over
+   the original task bbox; voxels outside the foreground crop are 0.
+
+### Single-CC invariant
+
+`_update_chunks` ([`edits.py`](../edits.py)) mints **one fresh id per
+distinct label value per L1 chunk** and does **no CC of its own**. If a side
+left two disconnected pieces inside one chunk, both would collapse into one
+new id and the chunk graph would gain a spuriously-connected fragment.
+Therefore every label out of the geodesic must already be a single
+26-connected component per chunk — enforced at full resolution because
+upsampling under a foreground mask can fragment.
+
+### Design rationale
+
+- **Geodesic region grow over voxel graph mincut.** A geodesic in an
+  anisotropy-aware cost field follows the SV's medial geometry and yields a
+  smooth midline cut without building / solving a per-voxel adjacency graph
+  on every split.
+- **Snap seeds to the foreground.** Seeds from operator clicks or upstream
+  mincut output need not land on a true voxel; snapping keeps both arrival
+  fields rooted inside the SV.
+- **Resolve label-3 strays, don't drop them.** Dropping voxels loses mass;
+  merging blindly can bridge sides. Border-count reassignment keeps every
+  voxel while respecting the cut.
+- **Stray-resolution dilation confined to per-component bbox.** Per-
+  component border counts are identical to a full-volume dilation, so
+  confining the dilation is exact, not approximate.
+- **Reads pinned to `parent_ts`.** Every graph read during a split
+  (parents, cross-chunk edges, sv_root_map) is pinned to the op's
+  `parent_ts` so a replay sees the same graph state and allocates the same
+  fresh SV ids — what makes interrupted splits safe to re-run under
+  recovery.
+
+## 4. Edge re-routing
+
+After `_apply_and_capture` produces `old_new_map` (old SV → fresh fragments)
+and `new_id_label_map` (fresh id → cut side `{1, 2}`),
+`_route_edges_and_rows` updates every atomic edge that used to reference an
+old SV. Lives in [`sv_split/edges.py`](../edges.py).
+
+### Sketch
 
-- **L2 chunk lock covers the supervoxel-level split only.** Inside the root lock, the split step additionally acquires a spatial lock on every L2 chunk it will read or write. Keyed by chunk, so edits on different roots but overlapping chunks serialize here. Released as soon as the split writes land; the graph-level commit afterwards runs under the root lock alone.
-
-### How the spatial lock set is computed
-
-For each cross-chunk representative being split, the read/cut region is the base-voxel envelope of that rep's source and sink seed coordinates, padded by one CG chunk on each side. The cut surface lives between the seeds, so pieces of the rep far from both seeds never participate — the seed envelope is the region that gets read and rewritten, not the rep's full piece-set envelope, which for an SV cut across many chunks can be orders of magnitude larger. To derive the lock set, expand that envelope by one voxel (because the edge-routing step reads a 1-voxel shell outside the rewritten region to see neighboring supervoxels' labels), map it to the overlapping L2 chunks, union the per-representative chunk sets, and sort deterministically so workers with overlapping sets never acquire in opposite orders.
-
-The chunks locked are exactly the chunks the split will touch, plus the 1-chunk margin the shell read requires.
-
-### How the write scope is kept minimal
-
-Only chunks that actually receive new supervoxel IDs get written to storage. Gap chunks that happen to sit inside an envelope but contain no cross-chunk-connected pieces, and neighbor chunks read only for the edge-routing shell, are never written. The segmentation backend is append-only, so writing unchanged bytes would inflate the on-disk delta for no real change.
-
-### Why the post-split ID refresh is safe without an extra read
+```
+update_edges:
+  1. fetch atomic subgraph in [bbs, bbe] via cg.get_subgraph
+  2. dedup, drop self-loops
+  3. resolve partner roots via one batched cg.get_roots
+  4. for each old SV in old_new_map:
+       inactive partner   → broadcast edge to every fragment
+       active partner
+         INF + partner-split    → _match_by_label (by cut side)
+         INF + partner-unsplit  → _match_inf_unsplit (closest only)
+         finite                 → _match_by_proximity (within threshold)
+  5. inter-fragment 0.001 bridges between every fragment pair
+  6. validate_split_edges  (4 invariants — §4c)
+  7. return (edges, affinities, areas)
+
+add_new_edges:
+  1. duplicate bidirectional
+  2. group by partner's L2 parent chunk
+  3. per chunk: append to SplitEdges (history),
+                rewrite CompactedSplitEdges (latest, stale-filtered)
+```
 
-After the split lands, the caller-supplied source and sink supervoxel IDs reference now-superseded supervoxels. The retry multicut needs the *current* IDs at the source and sink pixels — the subgraph fetch returns only live supervoxels, so a mincut asking about superseded ones would fail to find its endpoints.
+### Routing rules
 
-The in-memory segmentation block produced by the split is bitwise identical to what was just written to storage, and the storage write is synchronous (we wait for it) and happens under the L2 chunk lock (so nothing else can have mutated those voxels). Looking up source/sink coords in that block returns the same IDs a storage re-read would — no extra round-trip needed.
+For each edge incident to a split SV, the partner's root determines the
+path:
 
-### Worker crash mid-write
+- **Inactive partner** (different root). Broadcast: every fragment gets a
+  copy of the edge with affinity / area preserved. Costless if the roots
+  stay apart; collapses harmlessly to one root-level edge if they later
+  merge.
+- **Active partner + INF + partner also split.** `_match_by_label` connects
+  each fragment to the partner's fragment with the same cut-side label.
+  Fallback (no matching label in this iteration's `new_ids`) writes
+  closest-fragment INF — a known class-C bridge risk (§9).
+- **Active partner + INF + partner unsplit.** `_match_inf_unsplit` writes
+  the edge to the single closest fragment only. Broadcasting INF to both
+  sides would form an uncuttable bridge by retry mincut.
+- **Active partner + finite affinity.** `_match_by_proximity` connects
+  every fragment within `cg.meta.sv_split_threshold` voxels; fallback
+  closest.
+
+### Inter-fragment 0.001 bridges
+
+For each old SV with ≥ 2 fragments, every fragment pair gets a finite-0.001
+edge. These are **cuttable** by the retry multicut — they are the route the
+mincut actually severs to separate label-1 from label-2.
+
+### `validate_split_edges` (post-route)
+
+| check | invariant | raises |
+|---|---|---|
+| A | No cross-label INF edges to unsplit partners | `PostconditionError` |
+| B | No self-loops | `PostconditionError` |
+| C | Every old SV has at least one replacement edge | `PostconditionError` |
+| D | Every fragment pair from same old SV has the 0.001 bridge | `PostconditionError` |
+
+Failures abort before any write lands.
+
+### Distance computation
+
+- **Partner inside bbox.** `_compute_partner_distances` — kdtree over the
+  partner's voxels in the seg crop; per fragment, smaller-tree-queries-
+  larger heuristic returns minimum voxel distance.
+- **Partner outside bbox.** `_compute_boundary_distances` — fragment
+  kdtree to the partner's chunk boundary face. Over-estimate for non-
+  boundary-aligned partners but the only signal available without extra
+  reads.
+
+### Persistence
+
+`add_new_edges` writes per L2 chunk:
+
+- `Connectivity.SplitEdges / Affinity / Area` — append-only history. Time-
+  travel reads at any timestamp `T` walk cells with `ts ≤ T` and apply
+  stale-edge resolution.
+- `Connectivity.CompactedSplitEdges / CompactedAffinity / CompactedArea` —
+  single fresh cell per op. Previous compacted rows are loaded, rows
+  referencing any SV in `old_new_map.keys()` filtered out, new rows
+  appended, and the union written back. Current-time readers take this
+  single cell directly.
+
+Edges are written at `time_stamp = op.time_stamp` (logical) so a
+`parent_ts`-filtered reader sees atomic visibility.
+
+## 5. Concurrency
+
+Three lock layers, each scoped to the smallest window that closes its race
+class:
+
+| lock | scope | duration | races closed |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `RootLock` | the op's root id(s) | entire op | same-root edit interleaving |
+| `L2ChunkLock` (temporal) | every L1 chunk the SV-split touches | SV-split + retry | cross-root spatial races during SV-split read / compute |
+| `IndefiniteL2ChunkLock` | same chunks | OCDBT + BT writes | crash-mid-write isolation (§7) |
+
+### L2 chunk-set computation
+
+`_l2_chunks_for_splits` walks each task's `[bbs − 1, bbe + 1]` bbox (the 1-
+voxel shell the edge router needs to read), maps it to overlapping L1
+chunks, unions across tasks, and returns a deterministically sorted list so
+workers with overlapping sets never acquire in opposing orders.
 
-A worker that dies — or raises from the persist block — inside the indefinite L2 chunk lock's scope leaves the lock cells set and the op-log row's `L2ChunkLockScope` populated with the exact chunks being written. Future ops on any of those chunks refuse to start — the crashed state is isolated, not amplified. An operator runs the recovery flow described in [recovery.md](recovery.md) to revert the partial writes and replay the op.
+### Write-scope minimization
+
+Only chunks with ≥ 2 distinct labels (geodesic actually split the rep
+there) get OCDBT writes. Annulus pieces — chunks where the rep is single-
+label — keep their original L0 ids and skip the seg write entirely; the
+segmentation backend is append-only so writing unchanged bytes would inflate
+the on-disk delta for no value.
 
-## Invariants
+### Post-split id refresh without an extra read
+
+After the SV-split lands, the original `source_ids` / `sink_ids` reference
+now-superseded SVs. The retry multicut needs the *current* ids at the seed
+voxels. The in-memory seg block produced by `split_supervoxels` is bitwise
+identical to what just landed on OCDBT — the write is synchronous and
+happens under the L2 lock, so nothing else mutated those voxels — and
+`SplitResult.source_ids_fresh / sink_ids_fresh` carries the lookup result.
+No extra round-trip.
+
+## 6. Storage substrate
+
+### Edges
+
+| source | column | role |
+|---|---|---|
+| Bucket (GCS protobuf) | `EdgesMsg.in_chunk` | both endpoints in one L1 chunk |
+| Bucket | `EdgesMsg.cross_chunk` | endpoints in different L1 chunks; INF-affinity (watershed's "same SV across this face" claim) |
+| Bigtable | `Connectivity.FakeEdges` | operator-added merge edges |
+| Bigtable | `Connectivity.SplitEdges / Affinity / Area` | append-only SV-split history |
+| Bigtable | `Connectivity.CompactedSplitEdges / CompactedAffinity / CompactedArea` | latest-only snapshot |
+
+`get_l2_agglomerations` merges bucket and bigtable edges, then
+`_filter_stale_svs` drops edges incident to SVs whose row carries
+`Hierarchy.NewIdentity` and are not in the live agglomeration's
+`sv_parent_d`. On a clean table the filter is a no-op (no bigtable L0
+edges, no NewIdentity rows).
+
+### Hierarchy rows (per L0 SV)
+
+- `Hierarchy.Parent` — single L1 parent id.
+- `Hierarchy.FormerIdentity` — array of node ids this row was created from.
+- `Hierarchy.NewIdentity` — array of node ids replacing this row (set on
+  split).
+- `Connectivity.CrossChunkEdge[layer]` — per-layer cross-chunk edges.
+
+`copy_parents_and_add_lineage` writes the FormerIdentity / OperationID on
+each new fragment, copies the parent pointer (preserving the parent cell's
+timestamp), updates the parent's `Hierarchy.Child` list to replace the old
+SV with the new fragments, and writes NewIdentity on the old SV.
+
+### OCDBT segmentation
+
+`get_local_segmentation(meta, bbox_start, bbox_end, mip=0)` reads from
+`meta.ws_ocdbt` (or `meta.ws_ocdbt_scales[mip]`) when `meta.ocdbt_seg=True`,
+falling back to CloudVolume otherwise.
+
+`write_seg_chunks(meta, seg_writes)` aggregates all `(voxel_slices, data)`
+across tasks into one flat list and issues all tensorstore futures in
+parallel; per-task / per-rep loops would serialize wall time. On-disk
+OCDBT config is authoritative — opening an existing OCDBT must not pass a
+top-level `"config"` key; the manifest is the source of truth.
+
+### ID allocation
+
+`cg.id_client.create_node_ids(chunk_id, size, root_chunk=False)` atomically
+increments a per-chunk counter (`Concurrency.Counter`, `max_versions=1`),
+claims a contiguous range, and OR-masks with `chunk_id`. Failed ops leak
+ids — the counter never rolls back.
+
+### Locks
+
+Per-row columns: `Concurrency.Lock` (temporal, value = op id) and
+`Concurrency.IndefiniteLock` (durable, family `0`). Per-chunk rows are
+hash-prefixed for write distribution. `lock_by_row_key_with_indefinite`
+refuses if either column is set. Renewal via `renew_lock_by_row_key`.
+Value-matched release on `__exit__` prevents an op from clearing a lock
+another op holds.
+
+`OperationLogs.L2ChunkLockScope` durably records the chunk set the
+indefinite lock covers — recovery reads this to know which chunks need
+cleanup (§7).
+
+## 7. Recovery — worker crash mid-write
+
+Both writes inside the indefinite L2 chunk lock — OCDBT seg + BT rows —
+must land for the op to be consistent. A worker death inside that block
+leaves:
+
+- Indefinite lock cells set on the affected chunks.
+- `OperationLogs.L2ChunkLockScope` durably populated with the chunk ids.
+- Possibly partial OCDBT writes and zero / partial BT rows.
+
+Future ops on any of those chunks refuse to start (the lock blocks them) —
+the crashed state is isolated, not amplified.
+
+The authoritative signal that an op is stuck is `L2ChunkLockScope` non-
+empty past the clean exit point. A minimum-age threshold (≈10 min) filters
+in-flight ops from definitively-dead ones.
+
+### Why a single pinned read is not enough
+
+The SV-split reads a 1-voxel shell around each chunk; the shell's
+neighbouring chunks may have been mutated by other ops since the crash.
+A single pinned read of the world at `op.parent_ts` would return stale
+neighbour values; routing fresh edges to those stale ids corrupts the
+graph. Recovery cannot rely on a single pinned view.
+
+### Cleanup-then-replay
+
+1. **Cleanup.** For each chunk in `L2ChunkLockScope`: read the chunk's
+   voxels at `op.parent_ts` (pinned handle), write those values back to
+   the latest (unpinned) handle. The crashed op's chunks now show pre-op
+   state at the latest manifest; neighbour chunks and any concurrent ops'
+   work are untouched.
+2. **Replay.** Re-run the op under the privileged-repair path. Reads see
+   pre-op values on the op's chunks + current state on every other chunk
+   — a consistent world. Allocates fresh ids (the crashed op's ids leak),
+   writes new seg + hierarchy, lands the op-log row at `SUCCESS`. The
+   indefinite lock's `__exit__` value-matched-releases the cells the
+   crashed op originally set (replay reuses the operation id), freeing
+   the chunks.
+
+### Orphan history
+
+OCDBT is append-only — the crashed op's partial writes still exist in
+OCDBT commit history, just overshadowed at the latest manifest. Readers
+pinning a historical version between crash and replay still see the
+partial state; readers at latest never observe it. Orphan ids are never
+referenced by any hierarchy row.
+
+## 8. Performance
+
+### Geodesic
+
+- **Foreground crop.** `_compute_split` reduces the geodesic's working
+  volume to the tight bbox of the SV's True voxels. Big win for thin
+  reps; near no-op for dense reps that fill the bbox.
+- **Downsample.** `split_supervoxel_growing` accepts `downsample_geodesic`
+  (axis-wise strides). `sampling_ds = sampling × stride` keeps the
+  geodesic in physical-nm units regardless of stride choice. Right
+  derivation is `meta.resolution.max() // meta.resolution`, which makes
+  the operation isotropic in nm space across any voxel anisotropy.
+- **`narrow_band_rel`.** Refines the cut surface near the boundary at
+  full resolution regardless of the global downsample.
+- **`enforce_cc` runs at full res.** Single-CC must hold at chunk
+  granularity; running it on the DS grid would let upsampling fragment a
+  side into disconnected pieces.
+
+### Edge re-routing
+
+- One `cg.get_subgraph` call per task at the task's `[bbs, bbe]`. Subgraph
+  walks down from the rep's root.
+- Distances are kdtree queries on per-fragment voxel sets — no full-volume
+  scans.
+- `add_new_edges` writes per L2 chunk; bidirectional duplication; one
+  parallel batch.
+
+### Writes
+
+- OCDBT: only changed chunks (geodesic produced ≥ 2 labels in the chunk).
+  Annulus / shell-only chunks are untouched.
+- Bigtable: lineage + new edges per affected chunk, one batched write.
+- `write_seg_chunks` aggregates all `(slices, data)` across reps into one
+  flat tensorstore future list — never per-rep loops.
+
+### Lock hold time
+
+- Temporal `L2ChunkLock` covers the read + geodesic + edge-route compute —
+  the longest window in the SV-split. Released as soon as the compute
+  finishes.
+- `IndefiniteL2ChunkLock` covers only the persist block — short, but
+  durable if the worker dies inside it.

+
+### Bridge classes (residual)
+
+After the retry mincut runs, the only structural paths from src-side to
+sink-side are:
+
+- **0.001 inter-fragment bridges** (cuttable; intended).
+- **Cross-chunk INF edges** routed by `_match_by_label` /
+  `_match_inf_unsplit` (uncuttable; should be label-pure by construction).
+
+Known residual risks:
+
+- **C — `_match_by_label` cross-label fallback.** When the iteration's
+  `new_ids` contains fragments of only one label and the partner has the
+  other label, the fallback writes closest-fragment INF. Bridge survives.
+  Fix candidates: drop the edge or write finite cuttable affinity.
+- **Annulus↔annulus bucket INF.** Two unsplit annulus pieces routed to
+  opposite labels by their respective `_match_inf_unsplit` calls retain
+  their direct bucket INF edge (the routing loop only iterates
+  `old_new_map.items()` — never sees unsplit↔unsplit pairs). Fix
+  candidates: force-split the bridge endpoints, or detect-and-abort with
+  a dedicated `SvSplitBridgeError`.
+
+## 10. Invariants
+
+- SV-split + retry multicut + commit are one atomic operation under a
+  single root lock.
+- Within the SV-split step, concurrent splits on overlapping L2 chunks
+  serialize via the temporal `L2ChunkLock`.
+- OCDBT writes touch only chunks whose voxels actually changed. Annulus
+  and shell-only chunks are untouched.
+- Every fresh L1 id minted in the SV-split has at least one voxel in OCDBT
+  carrying that id. OCDBT seg's per-voxel id ≡ the chunk graph's
+  `Hierarchy.Child`-derived L1 set at that voxel.
+- Every label out of the geodesic is a single 26-connected component per
+  L1 chunk.
+- After commit, readers at the op's timestamp see new SV ids in the cut
+  region and new roots reflecting the cut.
+- Coarser MIP levels are eventually consistent with mip0, lagging at most
+  until the async downsample worker processes the pubsub message.
+
+## 11. Source map
+
+Entry points and key functions, by file.
 
-- A supervoxel split and its graph-level commit are one atomic operation. Either both land or neither does, under a single root lock.
-- Within the supervoxel-split step, concurrent splits on overlapping L2 chunks serialize. No two operations write segmentation to the same chunk at the same time.
-- Supervoxel-level writes touch only chunks whose voxels actually changed. Gap chunks between cross-chunk-connected pieces and neighbor chunks read for edge routing are untouched.
-- After the commit, readers at the operation's timestamp see new supervoxel IDs in the cut region and new roots reflecting the cut.
-- Coarser MIP levels are eventually consistent with the base scale, lagging at most until the async downsample worker processes the operation's pubsub message.

-# SV splitting — voxel-level cut algorithm
-
-This is the algorithmic core of SV splitting: given the voxels of one
-supervoxel and two cut seeds, partition every voxel into a *source* side and a
-*sink* side. It lives in `graph/sv_split/cutting.py` (`split_supervoxel`,
-`enforce_cc`) plus the coord extraction helper `build_coords_by_label`.
-
-The cut is a **geodesic region grow**, not a voxel graph-mincut: each voxel is
-assigned to whichever seed is nearer in geodesic (anisotropy-aware) travel
-cost across the supervoxel's interior.
-
-## In plain terms
-
-The cut works on a boolean mask of the one supervoxel being split: a voxel is
-*true* if it belongs to that supervoxel and *false* otherwise. Call the true
-voxels "the supervoxel's voxels".
-
-1. **Snap the seeds.** The user clicks a source point and a sink point. Those
-   clicks need not land exactly on one of the supervoxel's voxels, so each seed
-   is moved to the nearest true voxel. This keeps the next step starting inside
-   the object.
-2. **Flood from each seed.** From the source seed, compute the cheapest path to
-   every true voxel, where travelling through the thick interior is cheap and
-   skimming the thin surface is expensive; do the same from the sink seed.
-3. **Assign each voxel to its nearer seed.** A voxel goes to the source side if
-   the source seed reaches it more cheaply, otherwise the sink side. The cut
-   surface is simply where the two floods meet — it naturally lands at the
-   object's thinnest neck.
-4. **Clean up.** Make sure each side is a single connected piece, reassigning
-   any stray fragments to the side they border most.
-
-The rest of this document is the precise version of those four steps.
-
-## Inputs
-
-- `coords` — `(N, 3)` global voxel coordinates of the supervoxel.
-- `seed_source`, `seed_sink` — global-voxel coordinates of the two cut seeds.
-- `resolution` — voxel size in nm `(x, y, z)`; supplies anisotropy.
-- `voxel_offset` — volume origin (chunk corner).
-
-## Steps
-
-1. **ROI restriction.** Compute the foreground bounding box from `coords` and
-   work inside it only. A dense occupancy volume is allocated over the ROI, not
-   over the whole chunk, so cost scales with foreground extent.
-2. **Seed snapping.** Build a KDTree over the foreground voxel coordinates and
-   snap each seed to its nearest occupied voxel. Seeds need not lie exactly on
-   a foreground voxel.
-3. **EDT → speed / travel-cost map.** A Euclidean distance transform (sampled
-   by `resolution`) gives each voxel its distance to the boundary. Speed favors
-   the interior; geodesic travel cost is `1 / speed`, so paths hug the medial
-   region rather than skimming the surface.
-4. **Geodesic arrival.** `MCP_Geometric` (with `sampling=resolution`, so the
-   metric is anisotropy-aware) computes arrival cost from each seed to every
-   voxel. Each voxel is assigned to the side whose seed it reaches more cheaply.
-5. **Narrow-band proximity boost.** Voxels within `narrow_band_width` of the
-   opposing side receive a cost boost (`proximity_boost`) so the boundary
-   tracks the geometric midline more closely.
-6. **Optional downsampled grid.** When `downsample` is set, the geodesic grow
-   runs on a downsampled grid and is upsampled back. Upsampling happens *before*
-   single-CC enforcement, because upsampling under the foreground mask can
-   fragment a label into disconnected pieces.
-7. **Single-CC enforcement** (`enforce_cc`, when `enforce_single_cc=True`).
-   For each side, keep the largest / seeded 26-connected component; relabel
-   stray components to a transient label `3`. Each label-`3` component is then
-   dilated **within its own bounding box** and reassigned to side 1 or 2 by
-   which side it borders more, with EDT distance as the tie-break. Confining
-   the dilation to the component's bbox is exact: per-component border counts
-   are identical to a full-volume dilation.
-
-## The single-CC invariant
-
-`_update_chunks` (`graph/sv_split/edits.py`) assigns **exactly one new
-supervoxel id per distinct label value per chunk** and performs **no connected
--component analysis of its own**. It relies entirely on the cut having already
-produced single-CC labels. Therefore every output label out of `enforce_cc`
-**must already be a single connected component** — if a side were left in two
-pieces, both pieces would collapse into one new supervoxel id and the graph
-would gain a spuriously-connected supervoxel.
-
-This is why single-CC is enforced at full resolution and why label-`3` strays
-are resolved rather than dropped.

-# SV splitting — design rationale
-
-Why the [cut](algorithm.md) is shaped the way it is.
-
-## Geodesic region-grow, not a voxel graph-mincut
-
-The split assigns each voxel to the nearer seed by geodesic travel cost rather
-than solving a min-cut on a voxel adjacency graph. A region grow over an
-anisotropy-aware geodesic metric follows the object's medial geometry and
-produces a smooth boundary near the midline, without building and cutting a
-large per-voxel graph for every split.
-
-## Snap seeds to the boundary
-
-Cut seeds come from operator clicks / mincut output and need not land exactly
-on a foreground voxel. Snapping each seed (via KDTree) to the nearest occupied
-voxel makes the grow well-defined regardless of where the seed falls, and keeps
-the two arrival fields rooted inside the object.
-
-## Single-CC enforced at full resolution
-
-Each output side must be a single connected component because the downstream
-writer assigns one new supervoxel id per label and does no CC of its own (see
-the [single-CC invariant](algorithm.md#the-single-cc-invariant)).
-Enforcement runs at full resolution: if the geodesic grow is done on a
-downsampled grid, the result is upsampled *first*, because upsampling under the
-foreground mask can fragment a label into disconnected pieces — enforcing CC
-before that would let the fragments through.
-
-## Resolve strays, don't drop them
-
-Small components cut off from a seeded body are relabeled to a transient label
-and reassigned to whichever side they border more (EDT tie-break) rather than
-discarded. Dropping voxels would lose mass; merging blindly could bridge the
-two sides. Border-count reassignment keeps every voxel while respecting the
-cut.
-
-## Label-3 dilation confined to its bounding box
-
-Reassigning a stray component only needs its local border with each side, so
-the dilation is run inside the component's own bounding box rather than over
-the whole volume. The per-component border counts are identical either way, so
-this is an exact optimization, not an approximation.
-
-## Single-pass coord extraction, in-place masking
-
-`build_coords_by_label` groups voxels by label in a single `np.unique` pass and
-masks in place, instead of allocating a volume-sized boolean array per label.
-The cut likewise works inside the foreground bounding box. Both choices bound
-work to the foreground extent rather than the chunk volume.
-
-## Reads pinned to `parent_ts`
-
-All graph reads during a split are pinned to the operation's `parent_ts` so a
-replay sees the same graph state and allocates the same new supervoxel ids.
-This is what makes interrupted splits safe to re-run (see
-[Recovery](recovery.md)).

-# Edge updates after a supervoxel split
-
-## Context
-
-A supervoxel split rewrites voxels inside a bbox: a single old SV is replaced by N new fragments (one per chunk × per side of the cut). Every atomic edge that referenced the old SV — to neighbors inside the same root, to neighbors in a different root, and to other pieces of the same physical supervoxel — must now reference an appropriate fragment instead, or the graph hierarchy diverges from the new segmentation.
-
-Edge update is the second half of `split_supervoxel`. The first half produced a labeled bbox, an `old_new_map` (`old_sv_id → set[new_sv_ids]`), and a `new_id_label_map` (`new_sv_id → cut-side label`). This document covers what happens from there.
-
-## Algorithm overview
-
-```
-inputs from voxel-level split
-  ├─ new_seg           bbox volume with new SV IDs in place of old
-  ├─ old_new_map       which old SVs got split, and into which new IDs
-  └─ new_id_label_map  for each new ID, which side of the cut it's on
-
-update_edges (sv_split/edges.py):
-  1. fetch atomic subgraph inside bbox, rooted at the rep's root
-  2. dedupe edges, drop self-loops
-  3. group by partner-root vs split-root  →  active / inactive
-  4. for each old SV:
-       inactive partners  → broadcast edge to every fragment
-       active partners    → expand split partners, match by label/proximity
-       intra-fragment     → low-affinity edges between every fragment pair
-  5. validate (no cross-label inf bridges, no self-loops, completeness)
-  6. return new (edges, affinities, areas)
-
-add_new_edges (sv_split/edges.py):
-  1. duplicate bidirectional, group by L2 parent chunk
-  2. per chunk: append to SplitEdges (history) and rewrite
-     CompactedSplitEdges (snapshot, with stale rows filtered)
-```
-
-## Inputs to `update_edges`
-
-- `cg, root_id, bbox` — the rep's root and the bbox the voxel-level cut acted on.
-- `new_seg` — segmentation in the read window (bbox + 1-voxel shell). The shell is what makes anchor lookups work for unsplit pieces of the rep on the other side of a chunk boundary; without it, cross-chunk edges from those pieces would route to whatever happens to lie at the boundary face, not to the actual fragment the cut produced.
-- `old_new_map` — drives which edges need re-routing.
-- `new_id_label_map` — used to pair fragments with the same cut-side label across cross-chunk edges.
-
-`update_edges` calls `cg.get_subgraph(root_id, bbox, bbox_is_coordinate=True)`. This returns every atomic edge whose endpoint sits in the bbox under the rep's root. That set already includes both intra-cut edges (between split SVs) and the cross-chunk-shell edges to neighbors outside the rewritten region.
-
-After fetch, edges are sorted within each pair, deduped, and self-loops filtered. The remaining set is the input to classification.
-
-## Classification
-
-For each edge, the partner's root determines the routing path. `sv_root_map` is built from one batched `cg.get_roots(...)` over all unique partners.
-
-### Inactive partner (`partner_root != root_id`)
-
-The partner sits in a different agglomerated object. The split's cut-side has no semantic relationship to that neighbor — *any* fragment of the old SV that touched the neighbor's voxels still touches them after the split. **Broadcast**: for each old SV split into N fragments, copy the edge to every fragment, preserving affinity and area.
-
-This intentionally over-creates edges. They cost nothing if both endpoints stay in different roots forever; they collapse harmlessly into a single root-level edge if the two roots later merge.
-
-### Active partner (`partner_root == root_id`)
-
-The partner is inside the same agglomerated object as the rep — the partner is either:
-
-- another piece of the same physical SV (cross-chunk-connected),
-- a different SV in the same root reachable via L2 hierarchy.
-
-For active partners, edges are routed based on affinity type:
-
-#### Inf-affinity, partner also split
-
-The partner SV is itself in `old_new_map` (e.g. it's another piece of the rep that was rewritten). We need each new fragment of the old SV to connect to the *matching-label* new fragment of the partner — the one on the same cut-side. `_match_by_label` does this lookup via `new_id_label_map`. If no fragment of the partner shares the source SV's label (rare, indicates a partial split), fallback to the closest fragment by distance.
-
-#### Inf-affinity, partner unsplit
-
-This is the cross-chunk edge to a piece of the rep that the bbox didn't include — by construction with the seed-driven bbox, these are the rep's far-away pieces that keep their old IDs. The unsplit partner has no `new_id_label_map` entry.
-
-**Critical**: do *not* broadcast this edge to all fragments. An unsplit partner connected via inf-affinity to fragments on both sides of the cut would form an uncuttable bridge — a future mincut on this object would route through `frag_a → unsplit_partner → frag_b` with infinite affinity and never separate them. So `_match_inf_unsplit` assigns the edge to exactly one fragment: the one closest to the partner.
-
-`validate_split_edges` enforces this with check (A): no inf-affinity edge from an unsplit partner to fragments with different cut-side labels.
-
-#### Finite-affinity (regular)
-
-Real adjacency edges between SVs based on per-pair affinity. `_match_by_proximity` assigns the edge to *every* fragment within `cg.meta.sv_split_threshold` voxels of the partner, fallback to closest if none qualify. Multiple fragments may legitimately neighbor the partner; the threshold preserves the original adjacency where it actually exists.
-
-### Intra-fragment edges
-
-For each old SV split into multiple new fragments, add a low-affinity (0.001) edge between every pair of fragments. These are cuttable by future mincut operations — they record that the fragments share a graph-level neighborhood (they came from the same SV) without forcing them to stay agglomerated. Without these edges, an entirely-disconnected fragment of an old SV would have no link to the rest of the object; with them, the standard mincut machinery handles the relationship correctly.
-
-## Distance computation
-
-Distances drive both proximity matching and the closest-fragment fallback. Each fragment gets a `cKDTree` over its voxels (built from `build_coords_by_label(new_seg)`).
-
-- **Partner inside bbox**: build a kdtree on the partner's voxels too. For each fragment, the smaller-tree-queries-larger heuristic minimizes work; result is the minimum voxel distance.
-- **Active partner outside bbox**: the partner's voxels aren't in `new_seg`. `_compute_boundary_distances` uses the partner's chunk coordinate to determine which face of the source chunk the edge crosses, then measures each fragment's distance to that boundary plane. This is an over-estimate for non-boundary-aligned partners but it's the only signal available without extra reads.
-
-## Validation
-
-`validate_split_edges` checks four invariants and raises `PostconditionError` on any violation. Failures abort the operation cleanly under the indefinite L2 chunk lock; the recovery flow then handles cleanup.
-
-| Check | Why |
-|-------|-----|
-| (A) No inf-affinity bridges between cut-sides via an unsplit partner | Would be uncuttable by future mincuts |
-| (B) No self-loops | Indicates a routing bug; would skew degree counts and break some traversal assumptions |
-| (C) Every old SV has at least one replacement edge from its fragments | Catches old SVs that vanished from the edge set entirely (would orphan them in the hierarchy) |
-| (D) All fragment pairs of each old SV are connected | Confirms the intra-fragment low-affinity edges were emitted |
-
-These run before any bigtable write, so the validation is the last line of defense before the writes commit under the lock.
-
-## Persisting: `add_new_edges`
-
-The new edges are batched into bigtable per L2 chunk. Two columns get written per chunk per op:
-
-### `SplitEdges` (history)
-
-An append-only column. Each split op writes its new edges as a fresh cell with the op's logical timestamp. Time-travel reads at any timestamp T walk all cells with `ts ≤ T`, then apply the stale-edge resolution path to filter out edges whose endpoints have been superseded by later ops. This is the authoritative store for historical reads.
-
-### `CompactedSplitEdges` (snapshot)
-
-A latest-only column for fast current-time reads. On each op:
-
-1. Read the previous compacted cell (if any) plus its matching `CompactedAffinity` and `CompactedArea`.
-2. Filter out rows whose endpoints reference any old SV in `old_new_map.keys()` (these are the SVs that just got split — their edges are stale).
-3. Concatenate the new rows.
-4. Write the whole thing as one fresh cell.
-
-Current-time readers can take this single cell directly without history walks or stale-edge resolution.
-
-The chunk grouping uses each edge's first endpoint's L2 parent chunk: `cg.get_chunk_ids_from_node_ids(cg.get_parents(nodes))`. Parent chunks (not the SV's own L1 chunk) is the correct routing — the edge belongs to the chunk where its endpoint lives in the L2 hierarchy. Bidirectional duplication ensures every edge is owned by both endpoints' chunks; readers picking up either side find it.
-
-Both writes use `time_stamp=task.operation_ts`, so all rows from one op land at the same logical time. Concurrent SV-splits on disjoint chunks don't interfere because they write disjoint chunk rows.
-
-## Invariants
-
-- For every old SV in `old_new_map`, every atomic edge that referenced it in the pre-split graph has at least one corresponding edge among its fragments after the split.
-- No inf-affinity edge crosses cut-sides through an unsplit partner.
-- Every cross-chunk piece of the rep that the bbox didn't include keeps its old ID and its existing edges resolve unchanged (because no edge in those rows references the now-split SVs at endpoints — the routing only touches edges whose endpoints are in the bbox or its 1-voxel shell).
-- `SplitEdges` and `CompactedSplitEdges` agree at the latest timestamp: the compacted snapshot is the result of replaying the history through the stale-edge filter.

-# Supervoxel split recovery
-
-## What it is
-
-A recovery path for supervoxel-split operations that crash mid-write, leaving partial state in segmentation and per-chunk locks held indefinitely. An operator runs a one-shot command that reverts the crashed op's partial segmentation writes and re-runs the op from scratch, producing a clean successful edit and freeing the affected chunks for future work.
-
-## When it applies
-
-Every supervoxel split writes two things atomically from the point of view of the operation:
-- Segmentation chunks — the voxel-level split, where each L2 chunk touched by the split gets fresh supervoxel IDs at the voxels that moved to a new fragment.
-- Graph hierarchy rows — lineage from the old supervoxels to the new ones plus the cross-chunk edges linking the new fragments.
-
-Both writes happen under an indefinite L2 chunk lock covering the exact chunks being rewritten. If the worker running the op dies before the lock's context exits — process kill, pod eviction, hardware failure, OOM — or raises a caught exception inside the persist block, the lock stays held and the op-log row's `L2ChunkLockScope` stays populated with the affected chunk IDs. From that moment on, any new op whose chunk set overlaps the stuck op's chunks refuses to start, blocking further corruption.
-
-The authoritative signal that an op is stuck is `L2ChunkLockScope` being non-empty — the clean `__exit__` path clears it on success. Either a crash (`Status=CREATED`, exit never ran) or a caught exception (`Status=FAILED`, held-cells-on-exception path) keeps the scope set.
-
-The operator runs recovery when the lock has been held long enough that the worker is definitively gone, not merely slow. A minimum-age threshold (10 minutes is a reasonable default) distinguishes stuck ops from ops still in flight.
-
-## Concurrent edits on other regions keep working
-
-The indefinite lock is per L2 chunk. While op X is stuck on chunks `{C1, C2, C3}`, another op Y on chunks `{C4, C5}` sees no indefinite cell on its chunks and proceeds normally. Its writes advance the latest OCDBT manifest. By the time the operator gets to recovery, the manifest has moved past the stuck op's `OperationTimeStamp` and other regions of segmentation reflect Y's (and any subsequent ops') work.
-
-This is important: the recovery must not undo Y's changes. It also cannot rely on a single "read pre-op segmentation" pin because that would return pre-Y state outside the stuck op's own chunks, and the replay would overwrite neighbor state with stale values.
-
-## Why pre-op pinning is not enough on its own
-
-A supervoxel split reads more than just its own chunks. To route existing cross-chunk edges onto the new fragments, the split reads a one-voxel shell around its chunk envelope — supervoxel IDs from neighboring chunks serve as anchors for the re-routed edges.
-
-If the replay opened segmentation with a pin at the stuck op's `OperationTimeStamp` and then read that shell, the neighbor voxels would show their pre-op state, not their current state. If Y had split a supervoxel in one of those neighbor chunks in the interim, the pinned read would see the old neighbor IDs, and the replay would route its cross-chunk edges to supervoxel IDs that no longer exist. Graph corruption.
-
-So the replay cannot read the world through a single pinned view. It must see latest state for the neighbor shell and clean pre-op state for its own chunks.
-
-## Cleanup-then-replay
-
-Recovery proceeds in two steps.
-
-**Cleanup.** For each chunk in the stuck op's durably-recorded scope, the operator reads the chunk's pre-op voxel values from a segmentation handle pinned at the op's `OperationTimeStamp`, and writes those values back to the latest (unpinned) handle. The result: those chunks, at the latest manifest, now show pre-op segmentation — as if the crashed op had never started. Neighbor chunks and every chunk outside the stuck op's scope are untouched, so any concurrent op's work is preserved.
-
-**Replay.** The operator then re-runs the op under the privileged-repair path. The run reads latest state, which is now consistent — clean pre-op values on the stuck op's own chunks, current state everywhere else — and goes through the normal edit flow. It allocates fresh supervoxel IDs, re-computes the split, writes new segmentation and hierarchy, and lands the op-log row at `SUCCESS`.
-
-When the replay's indefinite lock context exits, it issues value-matched releases on every chunk in the scope. Because the replay re-uses the crashed op's operation ID, the value match succeeds and the pre-existing indefinite cells are deleted. The chunks are free for new ops again.
-
-## Orphans in segmentation history
-
-OCDBT is append-only. The crashed op's partial segmentation writes still exist in the store's commit history — they are not deleted, only overshadowed. At the latest manifest, the cleanup step has overwritten them with pre-op values, so a normal (unpinned) read returns the pre-op state and the replay's fresh writes take effect on top of that. Readers that explicitly pin a historical version between the crash and the replay will still see the partial writes as a snapshot, but readers at latest never observe them.
-
-The orphan supervoxel IDs allocated by the crashed op are never referenced by any hierarchy row — the crashed op never wrote its hierarchy rows to completion, and the replay allocated a new set of IDs. From the graph's perspective those orphan IDs do not exist.
-
-## Operator workflow
-
-1. **List stuck ops.** The operator runs the list command with a minimum-age threshold. It returns op-log rows whose `L2ChunkLockScope` is still populated past that age (excluding any that have reached `SUCCESS`), along with each op's user ID, timestamp, age, status, and the number of chunks in its recorded scope. Ops too young to classify are skipped.
-
-2. **Inspect.** For each candidate, confirm from logs or monitoring that the worker that submitted the op is definitively dead — not, for example, paused on a long-running multicut. The minimum-age threshold exists to reduce false positives but the operator retains final judgment.
-
-3. **Replay.** The operator runs the replay command with the op ID. Before any destructive step the replay cross-checks the recorded scope against live lock state: for every chunk in `L2ChunkLockScope` it reads back the `Concurrency.IndefiniteLock` cell and verifies it's held by the op being replayed. Any discrepancy (cell missing, or held by a different op) aborts the replay loudly — a stale scope could otherwise have cleanup revert chunks another op legitimately owns. On clean verification, cleanup reverts the op's partial writes, then the privileged-repair path reruns the op. On success, the op-log row shows `SUCCESS` and the previously-held indefinite lock cells are released.
-
-4. **Verify.** A second list invocation should no longer include the op. Any new ops that were waiting on the affected chunks proceed.
-
-If the replay itself fails — for example, the operator's judgment about the worker's status was wrong and the original worker comes back — the replay surfaces the error and leaves the op-log row and lock state as it found them. The operator investigates, potentially clears the lock manually via direct bigtable tools, and tries again.
-
-## Invariants
-
-- A stuck op's durable scope record (written before any segmentation or hierarchy write begins) lets recovery locate every chunk that might have received a partial write, without a bigtable-wide scan.
-- Cleanup only touches chunks in the stuck op's scope. Neighbor state and any concurrent ops' changes are preserved byte-for-byte.
-- The replay sees a consistent world: pre-op values on the stuck op's own chunks (from the cleanup), current state on every other chunk (from the latest manifest).
-- After successful replay, the op-log row is at `SUCCESS`, all indefinite cells previously held by that op are released, and the affected chunks are available to new ops. The op's original intent — the edit the user asked for — is realized with a fresh set of supervoxel IDs.

Subject: [PATCH 294/367] chore(edits): op_id-tagged logs, edit-end summary,
 drop TimeIt usages

- operation.execute logs op-type, new roots, old roots and elapsed wall
  time on the write-path success via a _log_edit_done helper.
- sv_split log lines (edits.py, edges.py, cutting.py) prefix every
  logger.note with `<op_id>` so per-op lines are greppable; op_id is
  threaded into _read_seg_and_ids, _select_cut_supervoxels, update_edges
  and split_supervoxel_growing.
- assert_same_root groups offenders by root id instead of listing each
  sv->root pair.
- Remove all `with TimeIt(...)` wrappers from operation.py (TimeIt class
  definition retained in logging.log_db for future use).
- app.configure_app removes flask.logging.default_handler from the root
  logger too (not only app.logger); fixes duplicate `NOTICE:` lines that
  appeared once Flask attached its default-format handler to root.

Subject: [PATCH 295/367] perf(sv-split): parallel TA/TB + dj3d geodesic
 backend toggle

Fork-pool both MCP arrivals on POSIX so TA and TB run concurrently;
shrink the {0,1,2,3} label arrays to uint8. Cap per-axis geodesic
downsample at 3 in split_supervoxel_helper so anisotropic graphs
don't collapse the DS grid.

Add PCG_SV_SPLIT_GEODESIC_BACKEND env var (mcp default, dj3d for
dijkstra3d.distance_field with mean-sampling cost rescale) so the
backend can be swapped without code changes. Add dijkstra3d to
requirements.in; NOTES.md gets the env-var contract and a refactor
target. Promote the per-SV geodesic timing log to NOTE level so the
backend in effect is visible per cut.

+# sv_split — notes (known issues, test handles, future work)
+
+Secondary material that doesn't belong in `README.md` (the design reference).
+
+## Future work — break up `cutting.py`
+
+`cutting.py` mixes geodesic backend dispatch, seed snapping, EDT + cost-grid
+construction, label assignment + narrow-band refinement, single-CC enforcement,
+`_resolve_label3_touching_vectorized`, and the `split_supervoxel_growing` driver
+in a single ~1900-line module. Refactor target: promote to a `cutting/` package
+with one module per concern (`arrival.py`, `cost.py`, `seeds.py`, `label.py`,
+`enforce.py`, `driver.py`), re-export the public entry points
+(`split_supervoxel_growing`, `connect_both_seeds_via_ridge`) at
+`sv_split.cutting`. Defer until the geodesic backend choice and the stray
+mechanism have settled.
+
+## Geodesic backend switch — `PCG_SV_SPLIT_GEODESIC_BACKEND`
+
+`mcp` (default) selects `skimage.graph.MCP_Geometric`. `dj3d` selects
+`dijkstra3d.distance_field` with the cost grid pre-scaled by `mean(sampling_ds)`
+to approximate per-axis anisotropy (the function has no anisotropy parameter,
+so the approximation degrades when one axis is >5× the others).

Subject: [PATCH 296/367] fix(sv-split): pair downsample with binary_seg.shape
 in same axis order

Both are xyz; the prior zip was zyx-with-xyz, so the per-axis
`dim // min_grid_per_axis` clamp checked the wrong extent and could
collapse one stride to 1 on any SV with a thin axis. Test exercises
the failure on a thin-z fixture.

Subject: [PATCH 297/367] perf(sv-split): reuse new_kdtrees, cache
 partner_tree, batch boundary chunk coords
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`_get_new_edges` previously rebuilt the per-fragment kdtrees per old SV
even though the caller passes `new_kdtrees` keyed by `new_ids_arr` — now
indexed via an `id_to_idx` lookup. `partner_tree` is cached per-call so
partners shared between olds build the tree once. Boundary-fallback
chunk coordinates resolve via one batched `get_chunk_coordinates_multiple`
call, removing the per-partner `cg.get_chunk_coordinates` and dropping
`cg` from `_compute_boundary_distances`.

Subject: [PATCH 298/367] perf(sv-split): make resolve3 scale with len(L3), not
 volume

_resolve_label3_touching_vectorized now operates on the sparse label-3
voxel set throughout: kdtree query replaces the two full-volume EDTs in
the tiebreak, per-voxel 26-neighbour lookup replaces the two
binary_dilations in the majority vote, and writeback scatters via the
cached l3_coords instead of an assign[comp3] full-volume gather.
_cc_label_26 takes cc3d's return_N + binary_image=True and drops the
skimage fallback (cc3d is required).

Subject: [PATCH 299/367] fix(sv-split): let label-3 fragments through to the
 mincut
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

validate_split_edges only raises on {1, 2} cross-side bridges through
unsplit partners; {1, 3} / {2, 3} bridges are valid — the unresolved
fragment rides with whichever seeded side the inf-cluster joins, and
the multicut places it via topology. Stops over-strict rejection of
splits where the second-pass single-CC enforce demotes newly-
disconnected fragments back to label 3.

Documents the full label-{1, 2, 3} lifecycle and rationale in the
sv_split README; scrubs identifier references from the doc so renames
don't lie. Includes the app logger propagate-False fix so each pcg
record emits once on the server image.

 ### Inputs
 
-- `binary_seg` — `(Z, Y, X)` boolean mask of the SV's voxels in the task bbox.
-- `seed_source`, `seed_sink` — global mip0 voxel seed coords.
-- `sampling` — voxel size in nm `(x, y, z)`; supplies anisotropy.
+- A 3D boolean mask of the SV's voxels in the task bbox.
+- Source and sink seed coords (mip0 voxel space).
+- Anisotropic voxel sampling in nm.
 
 ### Steps
 
-1. **Foreground bbox crop.** Tight bbox of `binary_seg`'s True voxels;
-   geodesic runs on this sub-volume only. MCP_Geometric array allocations
-   scale with foreground extent, not task bbox.
-2. **Seed ridge bridge + snap.** `connect_both_seeds_via_ridge` builds a
-   path from each seed to a foreground ridge; each seed snaps to the
-   nearest in-mask voxel via kdtree. Seeds need not land on a foreground
-   voxel.
-3. **EDT → speed → travel cost.**
-   `dist = _compute_edt(sv, sampling)`;
-   `speed = clip((dist / dist.max()) ** gamma_neck, eps, 1)` with
-   `gamma_neck ≈ 1.6`; `travel_cost = 1 / speed`. Interior is cheap, neck
-   is expensive — the cut tracks the thinnest section of the SV.
-4. **Geodesic arrival.** `MCP_Geometric(travel_cost, sampling=sampling_ds)`
-   from each seed-set; each voxel goes to the side it reaches more cheaply.
-   `sampling_ds = sampling × downsample_geodesic` so the geodesic stays in
-   physical-nm units regardless of stride.
-5. **Narrow-band proximity boost.** Voxels within `narrow_band_rel` of the
-   opposing side get a cost boost so the boundary tracks the midline.
-6. **Single-CC enforcement** (`_enforce_single_component`). For each side
-   keep the largest 26-connected component containing a seed; relabel
-   strays to a transient label 3. Each label-3 component is dilated within
-   its own bbox and reassigned to side 1 or 2 by border-count majority,
-   EDT tiebreak.
-7. **Embed back.** Result is a `uint16` map with values `{0, 1, 2}` over
-   the original task bbox; voxels outside the foreground crop are 0.
+1. **Foreground bbox crop.** Tight bbox of the True voxels; the geodesic
+   runs on this sub-volume only. Geodesic-algorithm allocations scale with
+   foreground extent, not task bbox.
+2. **Seed ridge bridge + snap.** Build a path from each seed to a
+   foreground ridge; snap each seed to the nearest in-mask voxel via
+   kdtree. Seeds need not land on a foreground voxel.
+3. **EDT → speed → travel cost.** Anisotropic Euclidean distance transform
+   of the mask; speed = (distance / max distance)^γ_neck (γ ≈ 1.6),
+   clipped to a small floor; travel cost = 1 / speed. Interior is cheap,
+   neck is expensive — the cut tracks the thinnest section of the SV.
+4. **Geodesic arrival.** Compute arrival times from each seed set on the
+   travel-cost field with the anisotropic sampling baked in; each voxel
+   goes to the side it reaches more cheaply. Optional axis-wise
+   downsample keeps the geodesic in physical-nm units regardless of stride.
+5. **Narrow-band proximity boost.** Voxels within a relative threshold of
+   the opposing side get a cost boost so the boundary tracks the midline.
+6. **Single-CC enforcement + stray resolution.** For each side keep the
+   26-connected component(s) containing a seed; relabel orphan CCs to a
+   transient label-3. Then for every label-3 voxel, look up its 26
+   neighbours' labels and per-component assign the side with the majority
+   of label-1 / label-2 neighbours; ties break on per-voxel anisotropic
+   distance to the nearest source vs sink seed. Work scales with the
+   label-3 voxel set, not the volume. See §12 for the full label-3
+   lifecycle and why a second-pass enforce may leave some label-3
+   fragments for the mincut to absorb.
+7. **Embed back.** Result is a small-int label map over the original task
+   bbox; voxels outside the foreground crop are 0.
 
 ### Single-CC invariant

+## 12. Deep dive — the label-{1, 2, 3} lifecycle
+
+The geodesic cut produces a per-voxel label volume. Its valid values
+evolve as the cut pipeline runs. Understanding why each step exists, and
+what label-3 means at each stage, is the key to reading the routing and
+the post-route validation.
+
+### Label legend (within the SV being split)
+
+| value | meaning at the end of a step |
+|---|---|
+| `0` | background — voxel outside the SV mask |
+| `1` | source-side fragment voxel (source seed reaches it first) |
+| `2` | sink-side fragment voxel (sink seed reaches it first) |
+| `3` | **transient unresolved voxel** — a fragment the system has not yet decided belongs to source or sink |
+
+Label-3 is *internal* to the cut pipeline. After commit, no graph node
+carries label 3 — every voxel ends up rooted under either the source-side
+or sink-side new root after the retry mincut.
+
+### Step-by-step rationale
+
+**1) Geodesic cut → labels `{0, 1, 2}`.** `argmin(arrival_from_source,
+arrival_from_sink)` is the geodesic Voronoi partition: each foreground
+voxel is assigned to whichever seed set reaches it first along the cost-
+weighted shortest path in the anisotropic field. This is the cut surface
+as a voxel-level partition.
+
+**2-3) 1st-pass single-CC enforcement, each side, with stray-demotion
+enabled.** The Voronoi partition can leave **islands** of a side stranded
+— e.g. a thin pocket the geodesic happens to assign to side A but with no
+internal path to any source seed without crossing label-2. The chunk-
+update step commits one new SV per `(old_sv × connected_component ×
+label)`, so each `(old_sv, label)` must be a single CC inside one L1
+chunk.
+
+The rule: keep CCs that contain at least one **seed of that side** (those
+represent the legitimate side territory). Demote every other CC. Demote
+to **3** rather than back to the opposite side, because we don't actually
+know if the island belongs to the opposite side — it might be
+geographically inside one side's main mass with the geodesic having taken
+a sub-optimal arc through it. Label 3 is the contract: *"unresolved —
+let the smarter downstream resolver decide."*
+
+**4) Stray resolver.** For each connected component of label-3:
+
+- **Border vote (majority).** Count how many 26-neighbours of the CC's
+  voxels carry label 1 vs label 2. Majority side wins. Rationale: an
+  island's natural home is whatever it's geographically nestled inside;
+  local topology is the strongest signal for which side it *should*
+  belong to.
+- **Seed-distance tiebreak.** If border counts are equal, fall back to
+  the per-voxel anisotropic distance to the nearest seed of each side
+  (kdtree on the seed point sets, scaled by sampling). Closer side
+  wins. Global fallback when local context is symmetric.
+
+After this step every voxel originally demoted in steps 2-3 has been
+reassigned. **Invariant at exit of the resolver: labels ∈ `{0, 1, 2}`.**
+
+**5-6) 2nd-pass single-CC enforcement, each side, with stray-demotion
+enabled.** Step 4 just moved potentially many voxels from label-3 to
+label-1 / label-2. Those newly-reassigned voxels can form **new**
+disconnected CCs of their new side — an island resolved to label-1 may
+be sitting far from the main label-1 mass with no internal label-1 path
+between them. The single-CC-per-chunk invariant must hold at the end of
+the pipeline; this second pass re-checks.
+
+Same contract as steps 2-3: orphan CCs (no seed inside them) get
+demoted to label 3.
+
+**7) End — label-3 fragments may survive.** Unlike the first round, no
+third resolver pass runs. The label-3 voxels that the second pass
+produced do not get reassigned. This is intentional — see step 8.
+
+**8) Per-chunk fresh-id minting.** The chunk-update step mints one fresh
+L1 SV id per distinct label value per L1 chunk. Label 3 is treated like
+any other label: every label-3 CC inside a chunk becomes its own new SV
+id, and the routing step records the fragment-id → label-3 mapping so
+edge routing knows how to handle it.
+
+**9) Edge routing treats label-3 fragments as first-class new SVs:**
+
+- Low-affinity inter-fragment edges (affinity `0.001`) are emitted for
+  *every pair* of fragments of the same old SV — including all pairings
+  with label-3 fragments. These edges are cuttable by the mincut.
+- INF-affinity edges to **split partners** are routed by same-label
+  match — a label-3 fragment of this SV connects via INF to a label-3
+  fragment of a split partner, if one exists. Two unresolved fragments
+  inf-joined is fine; both ride together.
+- INF-affinity to **unsplit partners** uses closest-fragment-only. The
+  partner can land inf-edged to a label-1 fragment via one cross-chunk
+  face and inf-edged to a label-3 fragment via another, producing a
+  `{1, 3}` bridge through the partner.
+- Inactive partners (different root) broadcast to every fragment,
+  including label-3.
+
+**10) Post-route validation accepts label-3 bridges.** The cross-label
+check only raises on `{1, 2}` — bridges through an unsplit partner
+involving only seeded-side labels. `{1, 3}`, `{2, 3}`, and `{3}` bridges
+are valid because the unresolved fragment has no seed; the mincut places
+the entire inf-connected cluster on whichever side carries the seed.
+
+**11) Retry multicut places label-3 fragments.** The mincut builds a
+graph where:
+
+- Source nodes = the new SV ids at each source seed voxel — anchored by
+  *physical seed voxel location*, not by the label the fragment carries.
+- Sink nodes = the new SV ids at each sink seed voxel.
+- INF edges are uncuttable; the `0.001` inter-fragment edges are cheap
+  to cut.
+
+The cut algorithm finds the minimum-cost edge set to remove that
+disconnects source nodes from sink nodes. Label-3 fragments end up on
+whichever side has lower cut cost. For a partner-cluster `{label-1 frag,
+label-3 frag, unsplit partner}` joined by INF, the cluster is one
+indivisible unit; it joins the source side via the label-1 fragment's
+source seed; the label-3 fragment rides along. Symmetrically for `{label-2
+frag, label-3 frag, partner}` → sink side.
+
+When a label-3 fragment has no INF anchor to either side, the cut runs
+through its `0.001` neighbours: it ends up wherever the global cost
+optimum places it.
+
+### Why this works without a third resolver pass
+
+Re-running the resolver after the second-pass enforce is *one option* —
+it would produce labels `{0, 1, 2}` once again and the validate-routing
+chain could keep the old "no cross-label" rule. The model we use instead
+is: **the heuristic resolver and the global mincut decide different
+questions, and the mincut is qualified to absorb whatever the heuristic
+left undecided.**
+
+- The resolver's border vote answers *"based on the local 26-
+  neighbourhood, which side does this voxel belong to?"* — strong signal
+  when the neighbourhood is asymmetric, no signal when it is symmetric
+  or the fragment sits in a thin neck.
+- The mincut answers *"given the global graph topology (INF clusters,
+  inter-fragment 0.001 edges, partner connectivity), what's the minimum-
+  cost cut that separates source seeds from sink seeds?"* — uses
+  information the resolver doesn't have (cross-chunk INF edges, partner
+  identity, multi-fragment routing).
+
+When the second-pass enforce produces label-3 voxels, the local signal
+has *already failed once* (the resolver placed them, and the placement
+created a new disconnected CC). Re-applying the same border vote is
+unlikely to be more correct than letting the mincut weigh the global
+topology. So we publish the label-3 fragment as a real SV, route it, and
+let the multicut place it.
+
+### Mental model — labels are a routing hint, not a cut constraint
+
+The fragment-id → label-{1, 2, 3} mapping is consumed by *one* thing:
+the edge router, to decide which fragment of *this* split SV gets
+inf-edged to each fragment of a *split partner* SV via the by-label
+match rule. After routing, the multicut treats every fragment as just a
+node in a weighted graph — the label has no further role. Source and
+sink anchors come from the *physical seed voxel position*, not the label
+of the fragment that ended up at that voxel. This is what lets label-3
+fragments propagate through harmlessly: they are nodes with no seed
+anchor, sitting wherever the cut places them.

Subject: [PATCH 301/367] chore(sv-split): switch default geodesic backend to
 dj3d
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Faster kernel for the default. PYCG_GEODESIC_BACKEND="mcp" stays
available for graphs where per-axis anisotropy matters more than wall.
Doc updates pair: README §8 backend bullet swapped, NOTES backend
section rewritten with dj3d-first description.

NOTES gains entries for the two production failure modes surfaced this
week — the {1, 2} cross-side INF bridge through an unsplit partner
(post-condition correctly raises; user re-issues with seeds that avoid
the corridor) and the mincut "sinks and sources are not connected"
rejection on large objects after a successful SV-split. README gains
a Companion pointer to NOTES so doc changes that affect known issues
or future work see both files at once.

+## Known issues
+
+### `{1, 2}` cross-side INF bridge through an unsplit partner
+
+Validation refuses the split when an L0 INF-affinity edge in an unsplit partner
+SV connects a source-side fragment (label 1) to a sink-side fragment (label 2).
+The carve inside the SV is correct in voxel space, but the cut surface
+geometrically passes through the partner — INF means the partner is the same
+segment as both fragments, and the chunked graph can't downgrade that affinity.
+Mincut on the L2 graph would have an uncuttable source→partner→sink path.
+
+Current behavior: post-condition raises with the offending partner id. The user
+re-issues with seeds that avoid the corridor through the partner, or includes
+the partner in the seed set. A cascade-split — recursively splitting bridging
+partners — is the long-term fix but expands the unit-of-edit and touches
+lineage / op-log / multicut handshake.
+
+### Mincut precondition rejection after a successful SV-split
+
+On large objects the multicut may reject with `Sinks and sources are not
+connected through the local graph` even though the SV-split, edge writeback,
+and validation all pass. Open question: bbox window too tight to keep the
+seeded L2 nodes in one component after the partner splits, or one of the
+partner splits removed a bridge edge the mincut needed.
+

raising because labels = {0, 1} doesn't satisfy {1, 2}.issubset.

Updates the four tests to {1, 2} so they exercise the real contract,
fixes the match string on the cross-label test, and adds a regression
test test_allows_label_3_inf_bridge that locks in the new behavior:
{1, 3} / {2, 3} bridges through an unsplit partner pass — the label-3
fragment is unresolved and the mincut places it via topology.

 has no L0)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

PCG's hierarchy starts at L1; cg.get_chunk_id(layer=1, ...) is the
supervoxel layer. README and NOTES were sloppy about this and used
"L0" in five places. Corrected to L1 throughout — no semantic change,
just terminology that matches the code.

Subject: [PATCH 304/367] perf(sv-split): run enforce_cc / resolve3 on the
 foreground crop
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

split_supervoxel_growing allocated out_zyx at the full read-bbox size,
then ran every enforce_single_component and the label-3 resolver over
that full volume. cc3d.connected_components inside the resolver
allocated a per-label component map at full-bbox scale — three such
maps overlap in the resolve3 block (label3 + 2nd-pass label1 + 2nd-
pass label2), driving a multi-GB RSS spike that can OOM pods on
large payloads.

The actual labelling lives only inside the foreground halo crop;
voxels outside it are guaranteed zero. Pass out_zyx[crop] (a view)
and crop-local seed coords to the enforce / resolver / final-check
helpers instead. cc3d outputs now scale with the foreground bbox
instead of the full read bbox, without any contract change in the
helpers themselves. README §8 picks up the new bullet.

Subject: [PATCH 305/367] perf(sv-split): chunked OR for binary_seg union
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

_compute_split built the per-task foreground mask with a single OR loop
over the full overlap crop. CPython's deterministic refcounting freed
each per-iteration `seg_overlap == sv` transient before the next, but
the peak still hit 2× the bool output as one transient overlapped
binary_seg. On large read bboxes the transient alone is hundreds of MB.

Slab the OR in z so the transient is bounded by a 128 MiB byte budget
instead of the full bbox. np.isin was considered but loses here — for
the SV-id value range, kind='table' falls back to kind='sort', which
allocates an int64 permutation buffer ≈ 8× the input. Comment captures
the why so a future reader doesn't redo the substitution.

Subject: [PATCH 306/367] perf(sv-split): bbox crop via per-axis projections,
 not argwhere
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

split_supervoxel_growing computed the foreground halo bbox with
np.argwhere(sv_zyx) followed by per-row min/max. argwhere materialises
a (N_true, 3) int64 coordinate buffer — 24 bytes per True voxel — and
its wall is dominated by the materialise step, not the reduction.

Replace with three np.any reductions, one per axis, then flatnonzero
the resulting 1-D bool vectors. Each reduction is one bandwidth-bound
sweep with no per-voxel intermediates; the bbox is read off the first
and last True indices. Output allocations drop from a multi-hundred-MB
coord buffer to Z+Y+X bytes total, and the bbox block is no longer the
dominant un-profiled wall inside split_growing.

Subject: [PATCH 307/367] chore(sv-split): extract _nonzero_bbox_zyx helper +
 record crackle finding
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two cleanup items from the build_coords exploration:

The per-axis np.any bbox-projection pattern that landed in
split_supervoxel_growing for the foreground halo crop is now repeated
in spirit elsewhere in the flow. Lift it into a private helper so the
next caller doesn't re-inline 10+ lines, and refactor the existing
call site to use it.

NOTES.md captures the result of swapping fastremap.point_cloud for
crackle's surface-only point_cloud in update_edges: correctness gates
(bbox + shell⊆full) pass and the shell/full ratio is ~12%, but
crackle.compress on the masked new_seg ran ~3.3x slower than fastremap
on its own — the downstream kdtree-size savings did not recoup the
compress cost on the payloads tried. Recorded so the experiment isn't
repeated without first measuring crackle.compress(parallel=N).

+## Experiments that didn't ship
+
+### `crackle.point_cloud` (surface-only) as a replacement for `fastremap.point_cloud` in `update_edges`
+
+`crackle` exposes a `point_cloud` that returns only the surface voxels per label
+— ideal in principle since `cKDTree` nearest-distance queries from outside a
+label always land on its shell, so the interior coords carried by
+`fastremap.point_cloud` are dead weight downstream.
+
+A side-by-side bench in `build_coords_by_label` measured correctness and wall
+on a real masked `new_seg` (~742 M-voxel read bbox, ~99 % zero after
+`mask_except`):
+
+- Shell / full coord ratio ≈ 0.12 (real downstream savings would be substantial).
+- Bbox(shell) == bbox(full) on every label, shell ⊆ full on the top-3 largest
+  labels — correctness gates pass.
+- But `crackle.compress(new_seg)` itself ran ~3.3× slower than `fastremap.point_cloud`
+  on the same input (compress dominates; the actual `crackle.point_cloud` call on
+  the compressed buffer is fast). The downstream `_get_new_edges` savings did not
+  recoup the compress cost on either the sparse-foreground or dense-foreground
+  payloads we tried.
+
+If revisited: the `parallel=N` kwarg on `crackle.compress` is unexplored;
+worth measuring whether parallel scaling closes the 3× compress gap. A
+foreground-bbox crop before compress is *not* a help here — `update_edges`
+partners scatter across the full read bbox so the nonzero bbox approximates
+the read bbox.
+
 ## Future work — break up `cutting.py`
 
 `cutting.py` mixes geodesic backend dispatch, seed snapping, EDT + cost-grid

Subject: [PATCH 308/367] fix(meshing): correct dynamic mesh dir lookup, quiet
 remesh logs

_get_dynamic_meshes hardcoded the "dynamic" subdir, so on a manifest-cache
miss the existence check read the wrong directory and dropped fragments for
datasets with a custom dynamic_mesh_dir; read it from custom_data["mesh"] like
get_json_info and the remesh worker do. Gate the remesh path's debug prints
behind PRINT_FOR_DEBUGGING, and give the mesh worker its own logger (root
logging is pre-configured at import, so its records were silently dropped) that
logs graph id, operation id, and the remeshed l2 ids.

Subject: [PATCH 311/367] refactor(sv-split): lift post-split coord helpers to
 _coords.py

build_kdtrees_by_label, build_coords_by_label, and
pairwise_min_distance_two_sets are edge-routing utilities, not part
of the split algorithm. Move them verbatim to _coords.py and switch
edges.py's import. cutting.py keeps only the splitting code.

Subject: [PATCH 312/367] feat(sv-split): route split through env-driven
 get_splitter

splitter.get_splitter() resolves the impl class via PCG_SV_SPLITTER
(default supervoxel_splitter.GeodesicSplitter) and forwards **kwargs.
edits.py.split_supervoxel_helper uses it; NOTES.md reflects the new
architecture. Dockerfile gains redis-tools.

 instrument update_edges

Pass raw downsample as seed_prep_downsample; honor PYCG_GEODESIC_BACKEND.
Emit OLD log format via _log_split_result; profile update_edges subblocks.
Docker: note why zstandard pip-reinstall isn't redundant.

Subject: [PATCH 314/367] perf(sv-split): swap scipy.cKDTree for pykdtree in
 _get_new_edges

pykdtree releases the GIL via OpenMP and builds trees faster at
real scale; smart-size dispatch passes partner_coords (2D) because
pykdtree raveles `.data` to 1D.

Bundle profiler tree-render in hierarchical.py.

Subject: [PATCH 315/367] build: depend on supervoxel-splitter==0.1.0 from PyPI

Adds requirements.in pin and regenerates requirements.txt via
pip-compile. Runtime resolver in sv_split/splitter.py already
imports supervoxel_splitter dynamically; no code change needed.

Subject: [PATCH 316/367] refactor(sv-split): drop in-tree split code now in
 supervoxel-splitter

Removes sv_split/cutting.py and its tests; trims _coords.py to the
build_coords_by_label helper edges.py uses. Splitter resolution still
loads supervoxel_splitter.GeodesicSplitter via splitter.get_splitter.

Subject: [PATCH 317/367] build: drop transitive deps now pulled by
 supervoxel-splitter

edt, cc3d, scikit-image, dijkstra3d move from direct deps to
transitives via supervoxel-splitter[fast]. PCG only imports
pykdtree directly; the rest came in via the deleted in-tree
split code.

Subject: [PATCH 318/367] perf(sv-split): boundary-only point cloud + focused
 metrics report

build_coords_by_label gains a boundary_only kwarg that masks the
volume to its 6-conn label boundary (in place) before
fastremap.point_cloud, with sub-profile blocks around each step;
edges.py opts in. min-distance between any two labels' boundary
voxels equals min-distance between their interior voxels, so
correctness-preserving for the KDTree consumers.

metrics_report gains min_wall_s / min_rss_delta_bytes kwargs
(defaults 1s / 500MB) that hide noise blocks while keeping
ancestors of any visible row so the tree stays connected.

Subject: [PATCH 319/367] fix(ci): set WORKDIR /app and install procps in
 Dockerfile

The multi-stage rewrite from python:3.14-slim dropped the WORKDIR
that the prior tiangolo-derived base provided, so pytest's
./pychunkedgraph/tests path resolved to / inside the container.
The slim base also lacks pkill, which conftest.py uses to clean
leftover Bigtable emulators between sessions.

Subject: [PATCH 320/367] perf(sv-split): inline update_edges, free seg before
 boundary alloc

Inlining collapses the call chain so renumber's in-place rebind
drops the uint64 buffer before boundary_mask allocates. Subgraph
fetch + edge routing extracted to helpers; the seg middle stays
inline to preserve the ref drop. Also makes codecov upload
non-fatal (signature checks have been flaky).

Subject: [PATCH 322/367] perf(sv-split): drop redundant foreground AND in
 boundary mask

The consumer multiplies vol in place by the mask and background
voxels are already 0, so `(vol != 0) &` adds no information.
Also swap the final np.unique reduction in seg_unique to
fastremap.unique for consistency with the per-chunk path.

inputs, exception class+message, traceback. err_dump.read_err_artifact
reads it back. Assertion messages across cutting, edits, edges/stale,
sv_split/edges, sv_split/edits, and operation now carry the values that
disagreed (root→l2_count, parents, duplicates, new_id vs got, chunk
mismatch pairs, stale nodes) and the broken positional logger.error in
CreateParentNodes is rewritten as an f-string so id/parent/root actually
reach the log.

+## Future work
+
+### Dedup seg reads + subgraph fetches across reps in `split_supervoxels`
+
+When a multicut produces multiple cross-chunk reps that need splitting,
+the orchestrator iterates `for task in tasks: split_supervoxel(task)`
+and each rep independently (a) reads its bbox crop from OCDBT (~2–4 s
+per call) and (b) fetches `cg.get_subgraph(root, bbox)` (~1.6 s per
+call). When reps cluster spatially or share an L2 ancestor the same
+OCDBT chunks and subgraph payload are fetched twice or more.
+
+Two surgical dedups, opt-in conditional on `len(tasks) > 1` so the
+single-rep path is byte-equivalent to today:
+
+**Seg-read union per overlap cluster.** Cluster reps by overlap of
+their padded voxel bboxes (`[bbs−1, bbe+1]`). Connected components over
+that overlap relation = clusters. One `get_local_segmentation(union_bbs,
+union_bbe)` per cluster; each rep takes a `.copy()` of its sub-slice at
+the same point `_read_seg_and_ids` would have returned, so per-rep
+mutation isolation is preserved (`_parse_results` and `mask_except`
+both mutate seg in place). Saves the OCDBT I/O; per-rep copy cost
+unchanged.
+
+**Subgraph union per shared root.** After `cg.get_roots([sv_id], parent_ts)`
+resolves each rep's root, group reps by root. One `cg.get_subgraph(root,
+union_bbox)` per shared root; each rep filters the returned edges by its
+own `[bbs, bbe]`. `get_subgraph` already filters by bbox post-read
+(subgraph.py:212–216 via `mask_nodes_by_bounding_box`), so a wider union
+bbox returns a superset of any per-rep bbox's edges. Endpoints touching
+multiple reps' bboxes get processed in each rep — matches today's
+behavior since `_get_new_edges` is idempotent across duplicate edges.
+
+Correctness gates: a `TestMultiRepParity` covering both dedups against
+the independent-per-rep baseline (byte-equal `seg_writes`, `bigtable_rows`,
+`source_ids_fresh`, `sink_ids_fresh`, `old_new_map`, `new_id_label_map`)
+plus the canonical pinky log lines remaining unchanged. Single-rep path
+must take the original code path verbatim — the new helpers must not
+fire when `n_tasks == 1`.
+
+Risks: union seg buffer holds longer than per-rep (mitigation: per-rep
+copy at the same boundary today's path uses; union buffer freed after
+the cluster's last rep finishes `_route_edges_and_rows`). Cluster
+detection bug → larger union buffer, never wrong output. Cap union
+volume to bound RSS on dense N-rep clusters.
+
+Not in scope: parallelizing reps, batching `id_client.create_node_ids`,
+changing `_compute_split` / `_apply_and_capture` / `_parse_results` /
+`_update_chunks`, modifying per-rep log lines.
+

Subject: [PATCH 327/367] feat(pipeline): cross-branch chunk-batch core (ingest
 + meshing)

Add pychunkedgraph/pipeline/: a workload-agnostic core (grid scatter, per-chunk
Bigtable lock, exit-code contract, worker harness) shared by ingest and meshing
subpackages. Ingest builds L2/parent chunks under a per-chunk lock; meshing runs
marching cubes / sharded stitching, idempotent, plus one-shot mesh-metadata setup.
Self-contained except the chunk-compute functions; dispatch.py is the only
branch-specific shim. Entrypoints: python -m pychunkedgraph.pipeline.{ingest,meshing}[.setup].

+# `pipeline` — Kubernetes-native chunk-batch pipeline
+
+Runs chunk-grid workloads — **ingest** and **meshing** — as **one Kubernetes
+Indexed `Job` per layer**, with **no Redis/RQ** and no scheduler add-on. A
+workload-agnostic core (scatter, lock, exit-code contract, worker harness) is
+shared by per-workload subpackages; each is its own container entrypoint:
+
+```
+python -m pychunkedgraph.pipeline.ingest     # ingest worker
+python -m pychunkedgraph.pipeline.meshing     # mesh worker
+```
+
+Self-contained and portable across branches (it depends only on `ChunkedGraph`,
+its Bigtable client, `cg.meta`, and `meshing.meshgen`); the only branch-specific
+piece is the ingest dispatch shim.
+
+## Model
+
+A layer's chunks form an `X·Y·Z` grid of size `N`. The Indexed Job's completion
+index **is** the unit of work — there is no queue. To keep the job count within
+Kubernetes limits at large `N` (10M+ chunks), each index processes a **batch** of
+`B` chunks, so `completions = ceil(N / B)` and `parallelism` = the worker fleet
+width. A pod walks its batch sequentially; ingest runs each chunk under a per-chunk
+lock (one writer per chunk), while many pods run in parallel.
+
+```
+layer L (X·Y·Z = N chunks)
+  └─ Indexed Job: completions = ceil(N/B), parallelism = fleet
+       └─ pod (index i) -> B scattered chunk coords
+            └─ for each chunk: process_one -> ok | done | transient | fatal
+```
+
+**One layer at a time, operator-gated.** Each layer is its own Job; the operator
+launches the next only after the current Job reports `Complete` (resources
+typically need tuning between layers). Nothing auto-advances.
+
+## Layout
+
+| Path | Responsibility |
+|---|---|
+| `grid.py` | Fixed-seed permutation: maps a batch's contiguous index window to *scattered* chunk coords so concurrent workers spread Bigtable row-key load instead of hot-spotting one tablet. Deterministic + invertible. |
+| `exit_codes.py` | Map success / transient / non-transient failure to the Job `podFailurePolicy`. |
+| `lock.py` | Per-chunk Bigtable claim/done cell (atomic CAS). One effective writer per chunk, token-fenced; a dead holder's claim expires so a retry re-claims; already-`done` chunks are skipped. Used by ingest. |
+| `worker.py` | Generic harness `run(make_processor)`: index → coords → loop → exit code. `make_processor(cg, layer, env) -> process_one(coord)`. |
+| `ingest/` | Ingest workload: branch-aware `dispatch` (L2 atomic edges / L>2 agglomeration), `setup` (graph table + meta), `worker` (lock + heartbeat around dispatch). |
+| `meshing/` | Mesh workload: `meta` (`MeshConfig`), `setup` (mesh-metadata, `setup_mesh_meta`), `worker` (marching cubes at L2, sharded stitching above; idempotent, no lock). |
+
+## Setup (run once per workload, before any Jobs)
+
+Each workload has a one-shot setup step that runs the same image and reads the
+dataset yaml from its mounted path (`PCG_DATASET`, not passed):
+
+```
+python -m pychunkedgraph.pipeline.ingest.setup <graph_id> [--raw]   # create table + graph meta
+python -m pychunkedgraph.pipeline.meshing.setup <graph_id>          # write mesh.* metadata (needs `mesh_config:`)
+```
+
+Ingest setup creates the Bigtable table and folds the agglomeration source into
+`meta.custom_data["agg"]`; after it, workers read everything from Bigtable.
+Mesh setup writes the four `mesh.*` fields a graph needs to serve meshes (run once,
+after ingest reaches the root layer), reading a `mesh_config:` block from the yaml.
+
+**Credentials.** GCP clients use Application Default Credentials, so the cleanest
+form is a one-shot in-cluster Job reusing the worker pods' Workload Identity.
+
+## Worker contract (environment)
+
+The Job template sets these on each pod:
+
+| Variable | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| `JOB_COMPLETION_INDEX` | batch index (set by Kubernetes) |
+| `PCG_GRAPH_ID` | graph id; meta + workload state are read from Bigtable |
+| `PCG_LAYER` | layer being built |
+| `PCG_PERM_SEED` | permutation seed — **same across all pods and retries of a run** |
+| `PCG_BATCH_SIZE` | `B`, chunks per index |
+| `PCG_N_THREADS` | parallel sub-workers inside a parent-chunk build (default 1) |
+| `PCG_LOCK_EXPIRY_SCALE` | (ingest) scales the per-layer claim TTL; default 1 |
+| `PCG_LOCK_POLL_SEC` / `PCG_HELD_MAX_WAIT_SEC` | (ingest) poll interval / max wait before deferring a held chunk |
+| `PCG_MESH_CACHE` | (meshing) `0` disables the mesh task's cloud cache; default on |
+
+## Per-chunk lock (ingest)
+
+Each chunk's lock row holds one of three states — *absent* / *claimed (token +
+expiry)* / *done*. **acquire** succeeds only if neither `done` nor freshly claimed
+elsewhere (an expired claim is stolen); a live worker **renews** in the background so
+its in-progress chunk is never stolen; **mark-done**/**release** are value-matched on
+the claim token (a fence) so a partitioned zombie can't clobber the new owner. On pod
+death mid-batch the finished chunks stay `done`; the retried index skips them and
+re-claims only the unfinished. Meshing needs no lock — it overwrites shards idempotently.
+
+## Failure handling
+
+- **Preemption** (spot reclaim): ignored by the failure policy (off the retry
+  budget); the index is retried.
+- **Transient failure**: counts toward the bounded per-index retry budget; the batch
+  retries (ingest skips done chunks).
+- **Non-transient failure** (`FatalChunkError`, exit 42): the index is failed fast and
+  recorded for inspection. A batch finishes all its chunks before choosing an exit code.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Permutation (`grid`): pure unit tests, no external services — `tests/test_pipeline_grid.py`.
+- Lock / workers: validated against the Bigtable emulator outside the committed suite,
+  so the package stays importable/portable on branches without that fixture.

+"""Deterministic, scattered chunk ordering for the per-layer Indexed Job.
+
+WHY SCATTER. A layer's chunks form an ``X*Y*Z`` grid. In row-major order the
+flat index ``x*(Y*Z) + y*Z + z`` makes consecutive indices spatially-adjacent
+chunks, whose Bigtable row keys (derived from chunk coords) fall in a narrow key
+range. Processing chunks in flat order would point the whole worker fleet at one
+tablet at a time -> a write hotspot. So we never process in flat order.
+
+HOW. k8s hands batch ``i`` the contiguous position window ``[i*B, (i+1)*B)``.
+``permute`` maps each position to a pseudo-random chunk flat-index (a bijection
+over ``[0, N)``), so the chunks one batch touches — and the chunks of all batches
+running at once — spread uniformly across the whole grid / key range.
+
+EXAMPLE (N = 100_000, a 50x50x40 grid, seed = 42). The first eight sequence
+positions map to flat indices spanning 17_224..92_229 — nearly the entire
+``[0, 100_000)`` range — e.g.:
+    pos 0 -> flat 19_165 -> chunk (9, 29, 5)
+    pos 1 -> flat 74_379 -> chunk (37, 9, 19)
+    pos 2 -> flat 92_229 -> chunk (46, 5, 29)
+    pos 3 -> flat 89_707 -> chunk (44, 42, 27)
+    pos 4 -> flat 30_659 -> chunk (15, 16, 19)
+Adjacent positions land far apart, so a single pod's batch — and the fleet as a
+whole — hits scattered tablets rather than one hot range.
+
+PROPERTIES. ``permute`` is a balanced Feistel network with cycle-walking: a true
+bijection over ``[0, N)`` needing no materialized array (scales to billions of
+chunks); a pure function of ``(pos, N, seed)`` so a retry of position i hits the
+exact same chunk; and invertible (``unpermute``) to turn a failed index back into
+its coord for inspection. The seed is pinned per ingest run.

Subject: [PATCH 328/367] feat(pipeline): pcgv3 ingest dispatch + migration
 workload

Adapt ingest dispatch/setup to pcgv3 chunk builders + graph classes; add migrate +
migrate_cleanup (--clean) workloads. Upgrade clean is a function arg, earliest_ts
reads cached meta (set in migrate setup); no CLEAN_CHUNKS/EARLIEST_TS env.

Subject: [PATCH 329/367] fix(pipeline): force-exit workers to dodge bigtable
 thread

The bigtable.data client leaves a non-daemon channel-refresh thread that atexit
join()s forever, so workers hung after finishing a batch until the pod grace
period SIGKILLed them (exit 137, breaking exit-42 FailIndex). os._exit with the
real return code once stdio is flushed.

Subject: [PATCH 330/367] fix(pipeline): port chunk lock to kvdbclient
 primitives

lock.py used the classic bigtable client (conditional_row) which the data
client doesn't have -> AttributeError on acquire. Rewrite acquire/renew/release
on kvdbclient lock_by_row_key, keep the done marker via mutate_row/_read_byte_row;
worker passes cg.client.

diagnostics. A failed check fails the pod without re-opening the chunk.

Subject: [PATCH 333/367] fix(pipeline): route every entrypoint through one
 run_and_exit helper
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The .setup one-shots returned normally, so graph I/O left the bigtable.data
channel thread hanging the pod (mesh-meta stalled ~20m). Add run_and_exit in
pipeline/__init__ — main() code or 0, SystemExit code, else traceback+1, then
flush + os._exit — and call it from all six worker/setup entrypoints, replacing
the three inline copies.

setup's cg.create() raises ValueError on an existing table; --exist-ok
catches it and skips (resume-safe), without it the error surfaces.

Subject: [PATCH 335/367] refactor(pipeline): adopt cave-pipeline for the
 distribution core

Drop the vendored grid/harness/lock/exit_codes for the shared
cave_pipeline.distribution package so the operator and every worker compute
the same chunk-scatter bijection from one source; workers inject cg_factory
and layer_bounds into the generic harness.

-"""Deterministic, scattered chunk ordering for the per-layer Indexed Job.
-
-WHY SCATTER. A layer's chunks form an ``X*Y*Z`` grid. In row-major order the
-flat index ``x*(Y*Z) + y*Z + z`` makes consecutive indices spatially-adjacent
-chunks, whose Bigtable row keys (derived from chunk coords) fall in a narrow key
-range. Processing chunks in flat order would point the whole worker fleet at one
-tablet at a time -> a write hotspot. So we never process in flat order.
-
-HOW. k8s hands batch ``i`` the contiguous position window ``[i*B, (i+1)*B)``.
-``permute`` maps each position to a pseudo-random chunk flat-index (a bijection
-over ``[0, N)``), so the chunks one batch touches — and the chunks of all batches
-running at once — spread uniformly across the whole grid / key range.
-
-EXAMPLE (N = 100_000, a 50x50x40 grid, seed = 42). The first eight sequence
-positions map to flat indices spanning 17_224..92_229 — nearly the entire
-``[0, 100_000)`` range — e.g.:
-    pos 0 -> flat 19_165 -> chunk (9, 29, 5)
-    pos 1 -> flat 74_379 -> chunk (37, 9, 19)
-    pos 2 -> flat 92_229 -> chunk (46, 5, 29)
-    pos 3 -> flat 89_707 -> chunk (44, 42, 27)
-    pos 4 -> flat 30_659 -> chunk (15, 16, 19)
-Adjacent positions land far apart, so a single pod's batch — and the fleet as a
-whole — hits scattered tablets rather than one hot range.
-
-PROPERTIES. ``permute`` is a balanced Feistel network with cycle-walking: a true
-bijection over ``[0, N)`` needing no materialized array (scales to billions of
-chunks); a pure function of ``(pos, N, seed)`` so a retry of position i hits the
-exact same chunk; and invertible (``unpermute``) to turn a failed index back into
-its coord for inspection. The seed is pinned per ingest run.

Subject: [PATCH 337/367] perf(graph): read watershed via tensorstore

meta resolution/bounds derive from the watershed info JSON; sv lookup
and the seg fallback read voxels via a neuroglancer_precomputed handle.
cloud-volume stays a lazy ws_cv hatch (meshing/diagnostics).

Subject: [PATCH 338/367] perf(graph): defer
 graph_tool/pandas/networkx/cloudfiles off import path

nested imports (graph_tool via a _graph_tool shim) keep graph_tool,
scipy, pandas, networkx, and cloudfiles off the cold import path; first
use pays the load. bump kvdbclient to 0.7.1 (drops its cloud-volume).

Subject: [PATCH 339/367] perf(sv-split): adopt
 fastremap.point_cloud(shell=True) in build_coords_by_label

fastremap 1.20.0 emits 6-conn boundary voxels per label natively, so the
`_label_boundary_mask` axial-diff pass and the `vol *= mask` mutation
both go away. The point_cloud output (and therefore downstream KDTree
min-distance queries) is unchanged.

-## Experiments that didn't ship

-### `crackle.point_cloud` (surface-only) as a replacement for `fastremap.point_cloud` in `update_edges`
-
-`crackle` exposes a `point_cloud` that returns only the surface voxels per label
-— ideal in principle since `cKDTree` nearest-distance queries from outside a
-label always land on its shell, so the interior coords carried by
-`fastremap.point_cloud` are dead weight downstream.
-
-A side-by-side bench in `build_coords_by_label` measured correctness and wall
-on a real masked `new_seg` (~742 M-voxel read bbox, ~99 % zero after
-`mask_except`):
-
-- Shell / full coord ratio ≈ 0.12 (real downstream savings would be substantial).
-- Bbox(shell) == bbox(full) on every label, shell ⊆ full on the top-3 largest
-  labels — correctness gates pass.
-- But `crackle.compress(new_seg)` itself ran ~3.3× slower than `fastremap.point_cloud`
-  on the same input (compress dominates; the actual `crackle.point_cloud` call on
-  the compressed buffer is fast). The downstream `_get_new_edges` savings did not
-  recoup the compress cost on either the sparse-foreground or dense-foreground
-  payloads we tried.
-
-If revisited: the `parallel=N` kwarg on `crackle.compress` is unexplored;
-worth measuring whether parallel scaling closes the 3× compress gap. A
-foreground-bbox crop before compress is *not* a help here — `update_edges`
-partners scatter across the full read bbox so the nonzero bbox approximates
-the read bbox.

Subject: [PATCH 340/367] fix(meshing): read watershed at requested mip; derive
 chunk_size

ws_ts_scale(mip) reads the target scale (non-OCDBT mip>0 read mip 0).
Mesh block size derives per-axis from the watershed pyramid, so
chunk_size leaves mesh_config; setup rejects an out-of-range mip.
Tests mock the tensorstore watershed reads.

Subject: [PATCH 341/367] fix(pipeline): delegate mesh-meta setup to the
 meshing library

The pipeline entrypoint carried a verbatim copy of setup_mesh_meta and
MeshConfig that still required mesh_config.chunk_size, so mesh-meta
failed once chunk_size was dropped from the dataset yaml. Import the
single source of truth from pychunkedgraph.meshing instead.

Subject: [PATCH 342/367] build: derive version from git tags via
 setuptools_scm

PCG isn't on PyPI, but the image must report the pushed tag. The image
pip-installs the package (--no-deps) with the tag fed to setuptools_scm
via a cloudbuild build-arg; the hand-bumped literal + bumpversion are gone.

Subject: [PATCH 343/367] perf(imports): confine cloudvolume to the meshing
 package

Non-meshing modules (app routes, sv-split profiler, pipeline/ingest
entrypoints) imported meshing eagerly, pulling cloudvolume on import.
Nest those imports so cv loads only when meshing actually runs.

Subject: [PATCH 344/367] feat(ingest): stamp mesh ingest boundary at
 root-layer build
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Meshing splits initial from edited roots at a timestamp boundary, but
sampling one root is unreliable: skip connections spread root creation
times across layers. Instead, stamp earliest_ts when the root layer is
written — the explicit cell timestamp shared by every root, lifted +500ms
so the boundary sits strictly above them. get_earliest_timestamp returns
it pre-edit; derive_initial_ts consumes it. Migrate no longer clobbers an
ingest-stamped value.

setuptools_scm rejects non-PEP-440 strings, so pushing a build-label tag
(not a semver) failed the image build. Pass the version build-arg only for
version-like tags; other tags build with the Dockerfile default untouched.

Subject: [PATCH 346/367] fix(meta): isolate copied-table mesh dirs by layout

A table copied/restored under a new graph_id must not let its meshes
alias the source's. Hinge on dynamic_mesh_dir: an explicit graph-suffixed
value shares initial meshes, so re-derive only the dynamic subdir; a bare
"dynamic" or unset value gives the copy a private per-graph top-level dir.
Move the whole rewrite into ChunkedGraphMeta.for_copied_graph so the graph
class makes a single call.

Subject: [PATCH 347/367] fix(version): stamp tables from a committed
 _version.py literal

Replace setuptools_scm (built 0.0.0 without a reachable semver tag) with a
committed _version.py the release workflow bumps, commits, and tags in
lockstep; setup.py reads it and the image build drops the version arg. Gate
the workflow's Helm-chart update behind an opt-in input and add a workflows
README. Versioning is per branch: main 2.x, pcgv3 3.x.

+# GitHub Actions workflows
+
+Two workflows drive CI and releases for PyChunkedGraph.
+
+| File | Workflow name | Trigger | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `main.yml` | PyChunkedGraph | push / PR to `main` or `pcgv3` | Build the image and run the test suite with coverage |
+| `release.yml` | publish release | manual (`workflow_dispatch`) | Bump the version, tag, and create the GitHub Release; optionally bump the Helm chart |
+
+## `main.yml` — CI
+
+Runs on every push and pull request targeting `main` or `pcgv3`. One `unit-tests` job:
+
+1. Builds the Docker image locally with Buildx (`load: true`, not pushed), tagged with the commit SHA, using the GitHub Actions layer cache.
+2. Runs `pytest` with coverage inside the container against `pychunkedgraph/tests`.
+3. Copies `coverage.xml` out and uploads it to Codecov — runs even when tests fail, and a Codecov upload error does not fail the build.
+4. Removes the test container.
+
+Secrets: `CODECOV_TOKEN`.
+
+## `release.yml` — release
+
+Manual only — dispatch it from the branch you want to release. **The branch is the major line**: `main` carries 2.x, `pcgv3` carries 3.x, because the version is a committed literal in `pychunkedgraph/_version.py` (the repo-root README has the full versioning flow). The tag and the in-code literal are written by the same job, so they never drift.
+
+### Inputs
+
+| Input | Default | Effect |
+|---|---|---|
+| `part` | `patch` | which semver component to bump — `major` / `minor` / `patch` |
+| `dry-run` | `false` | `true` computes the next version and stops: no commit, tag, release, or chart bump |
+| `skip-tests` | `false` | currently unused — no step references it |
+| `update-chart` | `false` | `true` also bumps the Helm chart `appVersion` (needs `HELM_CHART_UPDATE_TOKEN`) |
+
+### Jobs
+
+- **`bump`** — reads the version from `pychunkedgraph/_version.py`, bumps `part`, writes it back. Unless dry-run: commits `release vX.Y.Z`, tags `vX.Y.Z`, pushes the branch and the tag, then creates the GitHub Release. Needs `contents: write`.
+- **`update-chart`** — opt-in: runs only when `update-chart` is `true` (and not dry-run). Checks out `CAVEconnectome/cave-helm-charts`, sets `charts/pychunkedgraph/Chart.yaml` `appVersion` to the new version, bumps the chart's own `version` by a patch, and pushes. Needs `HELM_CHART_UPDATE_TOKEN` (write access to the chart repo).
+
+## Cutting a release
+
+```
+# preview the next version, no writes
+gh workflow run release.yml --ref pcgv3 -f part=patch -f dry-run=true
+
+# cut the release
+gh workflow run release.yml --ref pcgv3 -f part=patch
+```
+
+Or via the Actions UI: **publish release → Run workflow →** pick the branch and `part`.
+
+The pushed tag is what the image build (`cloudbuild.yaml`) builds from. New tables created by that image are stamped with this version, and the server only serves tables whose major matches. The Helm chart `appVersion` bump that rolls the image out is opt-in via `update-chart`.

Subject: [PATCH 348/367] fix(meshing): handle top-layer chunks in
 calculate_stop_layer

At chunk_layer + 1 == layer_count the parent column is rank-1 and the
existing layer_agreement / np.where path returns chunk_layer instead of
the root. Short-circuit to layer_count so meshes traversing up from the
second-to-top layer reach the root.

Subject: [PATCH 350/367] fix(deps): make conda the sole numpy source, drop it
 from the pip lock
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

numpy is C-ABI-bound to conda's graph-tool-base, yet pip-compile also pinned it,
so the image ran conda's latest against pip's downgraded lock — a broken mixed
install. Pin it once in requirements.yml; [tool.pip-tools] unsafe-package keeps
pip-compile from re-adding it to requirements.txt.

@@ -35,6 +35,21 @@ The PyChunkedGraph can be locally deployed (`run_dev.py`), imported in a python
 As a backend the PyChunkedGraph can be combined with any frontend that adheres to its API. We use an adapted version of [neuroglancer](https://github.com/seung-lab/neuroglancer/tree/nkem-multicut) which is publicly available.
 
 
+## Release
+
+PyChunkedGraph is versioned by a committed `pychunkedgraph/_version.py` literal, bumped by a
+one-click workflow — no manual edit. Versioning is per branch: `main` is 2.x, `pcgv3` is 3.x.
+
+- **Release:** Actions → **publish release** → **Run workflow** (from the target branch) → choose
+  `part` (`major`/`minor`/`patch`), or `gh workflow run release.yml --ref <branch> -f part=patch`.
+  It bumps `_version.py`, commits, tags `vX.Y.Z`, pushes, and creates a GitHub Release; the Cloud
+  Build trigger builds the image from the tag. Set `update-chart=true` to also bump the Helm chart.
+- **Preview:** `dry-run=true` prints the next version without committing or tagging.
+
+New tables are stamped with this version at creation; the server only serves tables whose major
+matches. See [.github/workflows/README.md](.github/workflows/README.md) for full CI/release detail.
+
+
 ## Publication 
 
 When using or referencing the PyChunkedGraph, please use the citation below. The FlyWire paper described and published the PyChunkedGraph v1.

Subject: [PATCH 352/367] test: configure pytest discovery in pyproject

Add [tool.pytest.ini_options] with testpaths so a bare `pytest` collects
the suite; test configuration previously lived only in the tox command.

Subject: [PATCH 354/367] test: extract fake_timestamp helper for the shared
 past timestamp

Replace the duplicated `datetime.now(UTC) - timedelta(days=10)` with one
helper so the "safely old" edit/lineage timestamp has a single source;
rename local vars that collided with the helper name.

Subject: [PATCH 355/367] test: add build_graph helper deriving the parent
 hierarchy

A test graph is determined by its atomic chunks; build_graph takes only
that topology and builds the full (derivable) parent hierarchy at one
timestamp, replacing hand-listed add_parent_chunk scaffolding.

Subject: [PATCH 356/367] test: build_graph spec uses named SV coordinates

Supervoxels are named and given as SV(x, y, z, seg) with zeros defaulting
away, so build specs carry no repeated raw coordinate tuples; build_graph
returns a BuiltGraph(cg, sv, ts) namedtuple and callers reference sv by name.

Subject: [PATCH 357/367] test: build_graph returns BuiltGraph(cg, sv)

Drop the unused ts from the result; callers unpack `cg, sv = build_graph(...)`
and reference supervoxels by name.

Subject: [PATCH 358/367] test: migrate graph-test builders to the build_graph
 factory

Replace the per-fixture gen_graph + create_chunk + add_parent_chunk +
to_label scaffolding with named-supervoxel build_graph specs. The parent
hierarchy is derived from the atomic chunks rather than hand-listed, and
readable SV() coordinates replace the repeated raw (x, y, z, seg) tuples.

Subject: [PATCH 359/367] test: eliminate hardcoded node coordinates from the
 suite
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Reference every node through readable SV coordinates — build_graph for
setup, the new label(cg, SV, layer) for construction/encoding tests —
instead of positional to_label tuples. Adds an assert_graph_unchanged
context manager for rejected-edit atomicity; drops the dead query fixture.

Subject: [PATCH 360/367] test: group edit-operation tests into an edits
 package

Move the edit-operation tests into tests/graph/edits/ with a coverage
README, and lift the duplicated split/merge/undo setup graphs into shared
edits/conftest.py fixtures.

+# Edit-operation tests
+
+The proofreading edit operations and their atomicity:
+
+- **merge** (`add_edges`)
+- **split** / **mincut** / **multicut** (`remove_edges`)
+- **undo / redo**
+- **supervoxel split**
+
+Graphs are built with the `build_graph` factory (or explicit chunk construction
+where the produced row structure is itself the subject). The core invariant under
+test is that a **rejected** edit leaves every stored row untouched — expressed with
+the `assert_graph_unchanged` context manager.
+
+## Coverage matrix
+
+| Operation | Topologies exercised | Accepted paths | Rejected paths (graph unchanged) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| merge | same chunk, neighboring chunks, disconnected chunks, skip-connection across layers | new shared parent; cross-chunk edge re-mapping; multi-layer hierarchy correctness | already-connected pair; self-loop; abstract (non-L1) node; indirect cycle |
+| split | same chunk, neighboring, disconnected; full-circle ↔ triple-chain; skip-connection components | component separation; pre-edit state still readable at the old timestamp | nonexistent edge; cross-layer / abstract-node edge |
+| mincut | regular link, no link, previously-removed link, indivisible (`inf`) link | source/sink separation respecting affinities | disconnected source/sink; cut that isolates; cut disrespecting source/sink |
+| multicut | path-augmented cut over real supervoxel data | multi-source / multi-sink cut | supervoxel-split-required is signalled |
+| undo / redo | split ↔ merge inversion | state restoration; chain resolution; subgraph leaves preserved; edge re-validation on undo | — |
+| supervoxel split | supervoxel-level split over real watershed data | split applied | — |
+
+Per-operation **atomicity** (graph unchanged after a rejected edit) is asserted for
+the merge, split, and mincut rejection cases.
+
+## Gaps (→ edit-failure-handling follow-up)
+
+These are the known coverage holes; each is filled by the edit-failure-handling and
+single-edit-rollback follow-ups, ticking off rows here as they land.
+
+- **Full-hierarchy invariant verifier after every edit** — layer monotonicity,
+  parent↔child bidirectionality, one root per connected component, no duplicate
+  children per layer, cross-edge validity. Today a rejected edit only compares the
+  stored rows, not these structural invariants.
+- **Fail-before-persist proven for every bad input** — zero hierarchy mutation *and*
+  no `SUCCESS` operation-log row written. Two non-blocking rejection cases currently
+  `warn` instead of asserting the graph is unchanged.
+- **Mid-write crash + recovery** — interrupt the operation mid-persist and prove
+  `repair_operation` restores a consistent state.
+- **Concurrent-write isolation** — two edits on the same vs disjoint roots.
+- **OCDBT-backed edit paths.**
+- **The multicut scenario that currently skips itself** on a too-small graph.

Restore the original finite affinity (a split test must exercise the same
edge type); the migration had switched it to an inf cross-chunk edge.

Subject: [PATCH 362/367] test: cut real-time sleeps from the slowest
 lock/error tests

Shrink the lock-acquire backoff where the failed acquire is only setup,
lower the test lock-expiry, and skip the doomed best-effort error-artifact
write that dominated the error-path test. Assertions unchanged.

Subject: [PATCH 363/367] refactor: discover test backends from kvdbclient
 (>=0.8.0)

Every test parametrizes over kvdbclient_testing.backends(); the per-backend
branches, the bigtable emulator bootstrap, and the hbase mock are gone, now
shipped by kvdbclient. bootstrap() resolves the config class via
get_config_class(). Requires kvdbclient>=0.8.0.

Subject: [PATCH 364/367] fix(ingest): size worker pools by the pod's cpu, not
 the node's

mp.cpu_count() reports the machine, so a 2-vCPU pod forked the node's core
count and CFS-throttled itself; pools and task_size now take n_processes
(PCG_N_PROCESSES) threaded down from the worker, and the same on the migrate
upgrade path. Pool workers re-raise a bare RuntimeError so a failure holding a
client handle is not replaced by MaybeEncodingError.

Subject: [PATCH 365/367] fix(meshing): use the parallel stitch, bounded by the
 pod's cpu
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The pipeline meshing worker called the deprecated single-threaded stitch, so
every parent-layer chunk ran one process on a pod sized for many; it now
dispatches the parallel task with the pod's own cpu allocation. The stitch
takes its pool size from PCG_N_PROCESSES like every other worker, replacing a
mesh-only env var that fell back to os.cpu_count() — the node, not the pod.

Subject: [PATCH 366/367] fix(deps): require cave-pipeline 0.0.4 and pin the
 conda solve

The worker reads env["n_processes"], but cave-pipeline 0.0.3's harness still
builds env with n_threads, so every ingest pod died on its first chunk.
Separately, conda picks microarch-optimized builds from the builder's cpu and
graph-tool ships v1/v3/v4 variants, so an image built on an AVX-512 host raised
SIGILL wherever it landed on an older node; pinning __archspec at solve time
keeps the image portable.

Subject: [PATCH 367/367] fix(meshing): size shard upload parts to bound
 compose calls

cloudfiles uses one value as both the composite-upload trigger and the part size,
so a fixed default splits a large shard into many parts and a tree of GCS compose
calls. GCS throttles compose with a 429 and cloudfiles cannot retry it, since it
composes without if_generation_match, which disables the client's conditional
retry; deriving the part size from the shard caps the count at one compose.

+Batch balancing lives in `pychunkedgraph/scheduling` (`lpt_partition`) — see its README.
 
 ## Design decisions (the load-bearing ones)
 
-**Fork safety.** tensorstore (the watershed `cv`) installs a fork-hostile guard;
-a forked child that touches it `abort()`s. So workers never receive a live `cg`/
-`cv` — they rebuild from `cg.get_serialized_info()` (`{graph_id}`) + the graphene
-`info` dict (the ingest pattern). The `mp.Pool` is forked **before** the parent
-touches the network. Plain `fork`, no spawn. (`_forkdiag.py` localizes this.)
-
-**Memory.** Workers byte-range-fetch only the labels they need
-(`readers[layer].get_data`), never whole shards, no cache — fetching whole shards
-blows the per-worker footprint up by orders of magnitude.
-
-**Anti-straggler scheduling (LPT).** Per-parent cost is heavy-tailed: most parents
-are small, a few are orders of magnitude larger (a single giant fragment can dwarf
-the rest combined). A fixed-size batch that happens to hold the giant strands one
-worker while the others idle. `_make_batches` uses `scheduling.lpt_partition`
-(Longest-Processing-Time: sort heaviest-first by immediate-child count, assign each
-to the least-loaded bin) so the giant **seeds its own bin and runs solo** while the
-rest pack the others. Bins are yielded heaviest-first so the giant dispatches first.
-Makespan floor is the giant's own solo encode — irreducible (see profile below).
-
-**Read/compute overlap.** Each batch is split into two halves; the second half's
-fragments are prefetched on a single-thread `ThreadPoolExecutor` while the first
-half stitches (GCS read is GIL-released IO, stitch is CPU). One fetch in flight →
-at most two halves' bytes resident (lower peak than fetching the whole batch).
-
-**Profiling.** All measurement lives in `HierarchicalProfiler`; call sites are pure
-`with prof.profile("name")` blocks. The worker times decode/transform/merge/encode
-(per fragment/parent) and samples RSS **once per batch** (the `stitch` block,
-`sampled_rss=True`) — the hot substages are timing-only. The harness flips
-`get_profiler().enabled = True` (and `with_memory_default=False`,
-`with_rss_default=False`) once before the fork; workers inherit it. Production
-(env unset) is a true no-op. Per-batch profiler blocks are folded on record, so the
-block list is bounded by the number of distinct stages, not the call count.

+| **Read/compute overlap** — each batch split in two; the second half prefetches on a 1-thread `ThreadPoolExecutor` while the first stitches. | GCS read is GIL-released IO, stitch is CPU. One fetch in flight → at most two halves resident. |
+| **Shard upload** — part size derived from the shard so the part count stays at or under the single-compose limit; small shards fall under the floor and upload as one PUT. | cloudfiles uses one value as both composite trigger and part size. Any shard size then costs exactly one GCS `compose` instead of a tree. GCS 429s that endpoint under many concurrent pods, and cloudfiles composes without `if_generation_match`, which disables the storage client's conditional retry — one 429 is otherwise fatal to the chunk. |

-Net: cores are already saturated by the process pool, so a DracoPy batch API
-(`decode_many`/`encode_many`) only re-parallelizes work the pool already does —

-during its solo tail, and even that is undercut by its un-batchable encode. The full

 ## Applied byte-gated optimizations
 
-In `utils.merge_draco_meshes_across_boundaries_pure` (each verified mesh-equivalent
-against production):
-1. **Dense lookup-table gather for the index remap** — a `lut = np.empty(N, uint32)`
-   indexed by old vertex id and gathered as `new_faces = lut[faces]`, instead of a
-   per-vertex Python dict + `fastremap.remap`. Same result (dense integer remap),
-   no multi-million-entry dict on big parents.
-2. **float32 dedup, index carried out of band** — the index column rides alongside
-   as `uint32` rather than `hstack`ed onto the vertices (which would upcast them to
-   float64 and double the `np.unique` working set); `np.unique` runs on float32 and
-   the vertices stay float32 through encode.
-
-Also: `meshgen.decode_draco_mesh_buffer` uses `np.asarray` (zero-copy view of the
-DracoPy buffer, not a copy); descendant resolution and per-layer bucketing are
-batched (one `get_downstream_multi_child_nodes` / one `get_chunk_layers` per call).
