From bd3b3da30a98d034947397d62791bd3fc1d5eb75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: zenchantlive Date: Tue, 24 Feb 2026 16:48:16 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fix(graph): prevent SSE overwrites of optimistic label updates ## The Bug User reported: 'An archetype can only exist on one task at a time - when I try to make the next task have the same arch, it deleted the one I added prior.' ## Root Cause The SSE subscription (useBeadsSubscription) refreshes data from the server whenever ANY change happens. When user assigns an archetype: 1. User clicks assign -> optimistic update adds label locally 2. SSE fires (from previous operation or heartbeat) -> fetches fresh data 3. useEffect syncs localLabels with data.labels (which doesn't have the new label yet) 4. Label disappears from UI 5. Eventually API completes and another SSE refresh brings it back This race condition causes labels to flicker or disappear entirely. ## The Fix Track pending optimistic labels in a useRef Set, and merge them with incoming server data during sync: 1. pendingOptimisticLabels = useRef>(new Set()) 2. When optimistically adding: add to pending set 3. useEffect merge: combine server labels + pending labels 4. After API completes: remove from pending set This ensures optimistic labels survive SSE refreshes. ## Test Coverage Added graph-node-labels-optimistic.test.tsx with 10 tests: - Uses useRef for tracking - Tracks in a Set - Preserves labels during sync - Adds/removes from pending set - Handles multiple concurrent operations - Per-node state isolation ## Verification - typecheck: pass - lint: pass (0 errors) - test: all pass --- src/components/graph/graph-node-card.tsx | 20 ++++- .../graph-node-labels-optimistic.test.tsx | 84 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 101 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests/components/graph/graph-node-labels-optimistic.test.tsx diff --git a/src/components/graph/graph-node-card.tsx b/src/components/graph/graph-node-card.tsx index 917ca69..bf5d1b2 100644 --- a/src/components/graph/graph-node-card.tsx +++ b/src/components/graph/graph-node-card.tsx @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ 'use client'; -import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; +import { useState, useEffect, useRef } from 'react'; import { Handle, Position, type NodeProps, type Node } from '@xyflow/react'; import * as DropdownMenu from '@radix-ui/react-dropdown-menu'; import { Loader2, ChevronDown, UserPlus, X } from 'lucide-react'; @@ -92,9 +92,20 @@ export function GraphNodeCard({ id, data, selected }: NodeProps(data.labels ??
