syrup-rail-postgres
syrup-rail-postgres provides Syrup Rail's canonical provider-neutral ledger,
SQLx operations, and high-level subscription billing service. Version 0.3
supports PostgreSQL 18 only and uses schema v3.
[]
= "0.3.0"
= "0.3.0"
New hosts install schema/v3/install.sql through their normal migration
system. Existing hosts reach schema v2 using its immutable artifacts when
necessary, then stop every schema-v2 billing writer and apply
schema/v3/upgrade_from_v2.sql transactionally before rolling forward with
0.3. Schemas v1 and v2 are immutable. The detailed versioned guides explain the
required lock, maintenance, and rehearsal boundaries.
After the host applies its migration and before it serves billing traffic, verify the runtime catalog:
# async
During REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, PostgreSQL exposes the command, phase, and
target details only to the maintenance role and statistics-privileged roles.
The runtime assertion tolerates _ccnew and _ccold shadows only when those
visible progress details and the backend's relation locks agree, then rechecks
the evidence before committing. Run maintenance and startup validation as the
same database role when startup must remain available during a reindex; a
cross-role observer fails closed. Drop stale invalid shadows left by failed
maintenance before serving billing traffic.
SubscriptionBillingService is the primary mutation facade. Hosts supply
offer locking, gateway resolution, abuse admission, and a transaction
coordinator that locks the authorized billing subject first and appends every
typed BillingEvent to the host outbox on the same connection. The packaged
host_integration example includes concrete service wiring and a versioned,
redacted host-owned event-envelope mapping. It separates first-write metadata
from the replay-stable value and demonstrates the complete atomic
insert/conflict-read/raw-structural-comparison/typed-reconstruction path on the
same transaction. Version 1 owns its nested enum labels instead of delegating
them to core display methods. The example keeps subject identifiers and
payload values out of Debug output; its card payload uses the core canonical
brand vocabulary and never copies an unknown provider string into the host
event.
Errors returned by host transaction, event, charge-target, and operator-review
callbacks remain opaque through ordinary formatting and the standard
Error::source() chain. A host can deliberately recover its original callback
error only by classifying the outer service error, destructuring an owned
callback-error variant, and consuming that wrapper with into_source() in a
protected diagnostic path.
GatewayReadiness can be returned after a token-free attempt was committed.
At that boundary, transient unavailability leaves the attempt pending for the
same-key retry, while determinate readiness failures first persist their exact
terminal resolution. Replaying the same command and idempotency key returns or
resumes the canonical attempt before host admission or gateway I/O; an error is
not permission to substitute a new key.
Reconciliation phase order
The host owns the reconciliation scheduler. For each account returned by
reconciliation_gateway_accounts, run the local-only cleanup phases before
calling claim_exact_reconciliation_attempts:
fail_stale_unsubmitted_payment_method_replacements;fail_stale_unsubmitted_subscription_charges;fail_stale_unsubmitted_subscription_enrollments; andfail_stale_unsubmitted_host_chargeswhen host charges are configured.
The host-charge phase also requires the host's HostChargeTargetStore; it
releases the host-owned target and fails the canonical attempt in one database
transaction. Local cleanup never contacts the gateway. The cleanup functions
are safe to repeat, and the bounded phases should run on every scheduled pass
so locked work or a backlog is retried later. Exact provider queries are only
for attempts whose submitted_at proves that submission began.
fail_stale_unsubmitted_host_charges returns failed and skipped counts. A
StaleTarget, Unchanged, concurrent change, or contended-row outcome leaves
the target and financial attempt state untouched, increments skipped, and
does not prevent later candidates from progressing. Candidate selection uses
the attempt's updated_at as a durable scheduling claim, so previously skipped
rows sort behind unclaimed work and become retryable after the claim interval.
The host callback should record the target-specific incident for operator
follow-up; the account scheduler can continue its remaining local and exact
reconciliation phases.
An existing 0.2.0 host must add the subscription-charge phase, plus the
host-charge phase when host charges are configured, to its reconciliation loop
when upgrading to 0.3.0. Omitting them leaves abandoned local
rows for foreground reads or later cleanup even though exact reconciliation
correctly excludes never-submitted attempts. The existing enrollment phase also
repairs never-submitted initial attempts that 0.2.0 may already have parked as
review_required. The schema-v3 cutover separately preserves historical
combined attempt names as canonical first-name values and adds lossless
last-name persistence for new attempts.
Customer billing portal/history queries, stable due-renewal pagination, and other lower-level transaction-local operations remain available for hosts that need to compose them into a larger application transaction. The protected-write guard described below deliberately owns its top-level transaction instead. Authentication, authorization, migrations, job queues, and event transport remain host-owned.
Protected product writes use two ownership-enforced phases. Start an
EntitlementWriteTransaction from the pool and use its connection for any
preparatory host writes; that pending value has no commit operation.
require_entitlement_for_update returns an
AdmittedEntitlementWriteTransaction only when current paid or granted access
is admitted and keeps the relevant locks held for the host mutation. Completed
denials and SQL failures await rollback, while cancellation queues rollback of
the owned transaction, including any earlier host writes. Perform and commit
the host-owned protected mutation only through the admitted value, and finish
any nested savepoint before consuming that value with commit or rollback.
