Module cache 

Per-account RAM cache for Community sync state.

Holds the page cursors (oldest back-paging floor + newest since floor), history-start flags, in-flight page de-dup, and the invite preload. All of it is keyed by this account’s channel ids, so it lives on the account’s session and goes when that does — there is no invalidation step to get right.

Functions

abort_preload

The warm-up fetch failed/was cancelled — drop the entry so an adopter falls back immediately.

advance_newest_cursor

Advance the latest-page since floor to the newest wire time this page returned (monotonic — only ever steps forward). Call ONLY for latest-page fetches.

advance_oldest_cursor

Advance the back-paging cursor to the oldest wire time this page returned (monotonic — only ever steps further back).

begin_preload

Mark a community’s warm-up as in-flight (so a racing Join adopts it rather than double-fetching). Evicts expired entries and, if over the cap, the oldest.

clear

Drop all cached state. A swap needs no call: this belongs to the account’s session and goes with it. Kept for callers that want a cold cache within one account (tests, an explicit resync).

clear_channel_floors

Clear a channel’s back-paging floors (history-start + oldest cursor) — e.g. after a multi-epoch backfill makes older history reachable again.

clear_channel_sync_state

Drop ALL of a channel’s sync state (floors + the latest-page since cursor) — community teardown. A surviving since cursor makes a same-session REJOIN sync “since I left” instead of cold, so the rejoined chat opens empty despite plenty of history.

end_page_fetch

Release an in-flight page-fetch claim (success or error).

finish_preload

The warm-up fetch landed — make its page available to promote/adopt.

is_at_history_start

Has the channel’s network history-start been reached? Older pages then stay DB-only.

mark_history_start

Mark the channel as having reached its network history-start.

newest_cursor

Newest OUTER created_at (seconds) seen on a latest page for the channel — the since floor for the next latest fetch. None before the first latest fetch this session (→ full newest page).

oldest_cursor

Oldest OUTER created_at (seconds) fetched for the channel — the back-paging cursor.

take_or_await_preload

Adopt a community’s warm-up as this sync’s page: Ready → take it; Pending → await it (the in-flight fetch IS the page, so this waits only the request’s remaining time, never firing a second); absent/stale/failed → None so the caller fetches normally. Polls at coarse granularity (imperceptible vs. a fresh round-trip) to stay free of notification races.

take_ready_preload

Non-blocking take for promotion at Accept: returns the page ONLY if already Ready, leaving a still-Pending warm-up in place for the sync to adopt. None if absent / Pending / stale.

try_begin_page_fetch

Claim an in-flight page fetch (key "{channel_id}:{older|latest}"). Returns false if one is already running — the caller should no-op. Pair with end_page_fetch.
