Context

Full packing leaves a Sorted Set page almost full after a split, so a subsequent growing edit can require another split. This change gives ordered collections a split fill ratio while retaining the 8 KiB growth threshold.

Based directly on main. Review and merge before #443 and the zset/Hash/Set intent-operation stack starting at #433.

Behavior before and after

• Sorted Sets use a 0.5 fill ratio: an approximately 8.1 KiB overflow becomes roughly 4 KiB + 4.1 KiB, subject to whole-entry boundaries.
• Lists and Streams retain a 1.0 ratio. List prepends retain reverse packing so spare capacity stays at the head.
• A remainder that fits within 8 KiB stays whole. Fitting pages and indivisible oversized entries retain their existing storage behavior.

Implementation

Apply the Sorted Set policy to initial construction, mutation, rewrites and ingestion. Adjust ingest admission bounds for the additional pages. Extend the concurrent point-write demotion bound with untouched page headers, whose retirement requires key X, so half-filled pages do not unnecessarily force eligible writes back to X.

Design decisions and alternatives

Separate the split cut from the growth threshold: pages can grow to 8 KiB after being split near 4 KiB. Calculate cuts by encoded bytes, preserving complete entries and a fitting final remainder. Full packing avoids the extra size pass.

Documentation and comments

Document the parameter, remainder behavior and ownership guarantees beside the splitter API. Update the grouped-collections architecture document to describe the minimum-payload proof used by concurrent Sorted Set writes.

Test plan

On main-based 4ecc8c4ed (ARM64 Debug): 159 passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped in 351.57 seconds. The skipped case is the opt-in List import/export test above 1 GiB. This run contains no later zset/Hash/Set intent-operation changes.

git diff --check origin/main..ordered-group-split-fill

Coverage includes split boundaries, ingest budgets, List/zset operations, concurrent point writes, fault rollback, recovery, a Sorted Set above 512 MiB and native primary/replica replication. Build and whitespace checks passed.

Risk assessment

Lower initial occupancy increases Sorted Set page and directory overhead in exchange for growth room. The fractional-fill path adds a linear byte-count pass. Durable encodings and replication commands are unchanged; compatibility and recovery paths remain covered by existing tests.

Rollback plan

Revert this commit. Existing pages remain readable without migration.

Reviewer guide

Start with the split policy and remainder handling in grouped/collection.h and grouped/collection.cpp, then the ingest bound and IX demotion proof. The E2E fixture updates retain dense-page, overflow-neighbor and concurrency coverage under the new page occupancy.

Follow-up work

No required follow-up for this change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Sorted sets now leave more room in pages when splitting dense collections, helping accommodate subsequent writes.
  • Concurrent sorted-set updates are less likely to trigger unnecessary compact conversion when other entries are removed.
• Documentation
  • Clarified how sorted-set page sizing and concurrent updates affect storage limits.

Walkthrough

Ordered-group splitting now uses a fill ratio selected by collection kind: 0.5 for Sorted Sets and 1.0 for other ordered collections. Call sites and byte-bound accounting are updated, with tests covering splitting and Sorted Set writes.

Changes

Ordered Group Splitting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Split policy and call sites include/lavik/storage/detail/grouped/collection.h, src/storage/engine/grouped/collection.cpp, src/storage/engine/compact_api.cpp, src/storage/engine/grouped/sorted_rewrite.cpp, src/storage/engine/replica_collection.cpp	The split APIs accept a fill ratio. The splitter uses ratio-based page limits while entries exceed the target size and uses the full target for a fitting remainder. Ordered collection call sites pass the ratio selected for the collection kind.
Sorted Set byte accounting include/lavik/storage/detail/collection_ingest_budget.h, include/lavik/storage/detail/collection_limits.h, src/storage/engine/grouped/zset.cpp, docs/architecture/09-grouped-collections.md	The ingest estimate uses the Sorted Set split-fill ratio and fixed group bytes. Concurrent point-write accounting includes a header allowance for each unselected group. Comments and documentation describe the related thresholds and payload bound.
Split and write validation tests/grouped/collection_test.cpp, tests/collection_compact_stream_test.cpp, tests/grouped/zset_write_e2e_test.cpp	Tests cover ratio-based splitting, oversized members, invalid ratios, compact-stream grouping, and Sorted Set write scenarios with revised page-capacity fixtures.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 22.22% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 27 functions across 11 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Exercise a score move that changes the page partition.

The move to 0.5 restores the original singleton partition. A regression in transfers between adjacent pages can escape this test. Use a fixture that moves a surviving entry across the page boundary, and assert the page contents while the move is active.
