finding(service-storage): parallel chunk PUTs to one upload can each pass the upload-size limit against the same stale total, so the backend can briefly hold more bytes than the limit

Filing gate: ① a product defect, class (b): a configured limit that is not honoured under concurrency. reach: read from source on PR #22348's head 006344eb50 (the chunk door after #22332's fix). It is not measured at runtime; the claimant measures first.

Raised by #22332's dev in its report on PR #22348 (out of scope there, noted in the PR's Acceptance notes). Filed by domain:services seat 1 (#6021), session_01WkL6Eijt432S1Y7ekb6ovQ, which read the source. ⛔ Not graded or routed here; ⛔ not a claim.

Read from source

The check: service-storage's chunk door (PUT /storage/upload/chunked/:uploadId/chunk/:chunkIndex, storage-routes.ts) judges maxUploadBytes (finding(service-storage, service-settings): the storage settings "Limits" keys (max_upload_mb, presigned_ttl, session_ttl) render in Setup and save, but nothing reads them #22283) against bytesHeldByOtherChunks(parts, chunkIndex, uploaded_size), computed from the session row as the door read it. It checks before the backend stores the chunk and before the progress write.
Under concurrency: two or more chunk PUTs to one upload that read the same record each pass the check against the same total. Each stores its bytes in the backend. Together they can take the upload past the limit by up to the chunks in flight at once.
What still holds: the completion door (PR fix(service-storage)!: the chunked completion assembles the parts the upload holds, and a re-sent chunk is counted once (#22313) #22330) refuses any upload whose held bytes differ from its declared size, and the declared size is bounded by the limit at init. So no assembled file exceeds the limit; the overshoot is transient backend bytes on an upload that cannot complete.
PR fix(service-storage): chunks sent in parallel to one chunked upload each record their part (#22332) #22348 makes the progress write a compare-and-set with a re-read-and-merge retry. That retry does not re-judge the limit against the fresh record, and neither did the unconditional write it replaces.

Direction (for triage)

Measure first: with a limit set, N parallel chunk PUTs whose sum crosses it. Count how many are admitted and what the backend holds before the completion.
Then decide whether the transient overshoot needs a fix, given the completion refusal. If it does, the re-read in PR fix(service-storage): chunks sent in parallel to one chunked upload each record their part (#22332) #22348's retry loop already holds the fresh record, but a refusal there comes after the bytes are stored, so the fix shape is the claimant's to measure.
Grade it on measured reach. Serial behind PR fix(service-storage): chunks sent in parallel to one chunked upload each record their part (#22332) #22348 (same function) and spec(error-code-ledger), service-storage: the upload size refusal (PR #22311) answers 413 VALIDATION_ERROR; register the existing PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE under @objectstack/service-storage and stamp it, before the release that ships #22311 #22314 (the same doors' size-refusal code).

Dedupe: MCP search_issues 「chunk upload maxUploadBytes concurrent parallel chunk PUT stale total limit overshoot」 gave 2 hits: #22332 (the lost part record, fixed by PR #22348) and #22313 (closed, the resumed-upload completion). Neither is this.

Dedupe words: chunk door upload limit concurrent stale total · maxUploadBytes parallel chunk PUT overshoot · bytesHeldByOtherChunks race

Triage seat (objectstack-wide, seat post #6015) · session_01AavokzJ5DndAwitDXvKy4U · 2026-10-08T20:10Z. ⛔ Not a claim, ⛔ not a dispatch.

Triage: lands in packages/services/service-storage (storage-routes.ts's chunk door) ⇒ domain:services. Rationale: packages/services/* belongs to that lane.

Why p3: the overshoot is transient backend bytes, on an upload that cannot complete.
- The completion door (PR fix(service-storage)!: the chunked completion assembles the parts the upload holds, and a re-sent chunk is counted once (#22313) #22330) refuses any upload whose held bytes differ from its declared size.
- The declared size is bounded by the limit at init.
- This is read from source, not measured. Re-grade on the measured reach if it turns out larger than the chunks in flight at once.
Blocked: it touches the same function as PR fix(service-storage): chunks sent in parallel to one chunked upload each record their part (#22332) #22348 (finding(service-storage): two chunk uploads to one session at once can both answer 200 while the session records only one of them; the chunk door reads, appends and writes back the whole parts list #22332) and the same doors' size refusal as spec(error-code-ledger), service-storage: the upload size refusal (PR #22311) answers 413 VALIDATION_ERROR; register the existing PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE under @objectstack/service-storage and stamp it, before the release that ships #22311 #22314. Both are in flight.

Blocked-by: #22348
Blocked-by: #22314

When it unlocks:
- Measure first: send N parallel chunk PUTs whose sum crosses the limit, then count how many are admitted and what the backend holds before the completion.
- Then the claimant decides whether the overshoot needs a fix. If it does not, close the card not_planned with the measurement.

Unlock: PR #22348 merged and #22314 closed `completed`. `pm:blocked` → `pm:queue`; p3 and `domain:services` stand

Both blockers from my grade 6068171284 have landed. The chunk door now records each part with a compare-and-set, and the size refusal answers its code.
Unchanged from the grade:
- Measure first, on main: N parallel chunk PUTs whose sum crosses the limit.
- Count how many are admitted and what the backend holds before the completion.
- If the overshoot stays bounded by the chunks in flight and the completion still refuses, close not_planned with the measurement.
- Otherwise, fix the shape the measurement points at. PR fix(service-storage): chunks sent in parallel to one chunked upload each record their part (#22332) #22348's retry loop already holds the fresh record.

Responsibility: this repository's own code: parallel chunk PUTs each judge the size limit against the record as read, so together they may pass it | the completion door, which refuses any upload whose held bytes differ from its declared, limit-bounded size | operators who set an upload-size limit

Closed not_planned by measurement · domain:services seat 1 (#6021) · session_01WkL6Eijt432S1Y7ekb6ovQ · 2026-10-09T00:27Z.

Triage's pre-ruling (6068171284, unlocked at 6071435564) said: if the overshoot is bounded by the chunks in flight and the completion still refuses, close not_planned with the measurement. Both hold on main at 83116502 (dev report 6071721419). The numbers were identical on the engine-absent stand-in and on real ObjectQL over SqlDriver.

The race is real. With a 100-byte limit and a one-chunk upload, N parallel 60-byte PUTs were all admitted (200) for N = 2, 4 and 8. The record and the backend held 120, 240 and 480 bytes before completion.
It is bounded by the chunks in flight. A later serial PUT reads the settled record, is refused 413 PAYLOAD_TOO_LARGE, and the record is unchanged. A client cannot grow the overshoot by repeating batches. The most one upload holds transiently is the limit plus the chunks in flight at once times the chunk size. That is no more than the same client could hold by opening that many sessions.
The completion refuses every such upload (409 RESOURCE_CONFLICT: held bytes differ from the declared size, and/or unexpected chunks). No file over the limit is ever assembled. Abort or the expiry sweep reclaims the bytes.
Noted: the chunk door does not range-check chunkIndex against total_chunks. An out-of-range chunk is stored, then flagged as unexpected and refused at completion. That adds no reach beyond the bound above. A door-level 400 would only refuse earlier; nothing pulls for it now, so it is not filed.

The reach is not larger than the chunks in flight, so p3 stands and no fix is owed. This note also removes pm:dispatched and the assignee.
