Summary

Fixes the flaky tests::archive_render_revision::a_reload_between_series_pages_refuses_the_engine_pdf_without_replacing_destination, which failed on Windows on main at f710eb9 (run): the warm-up render_placed returned no credits, with the gap "some tiles were still on their way when the export stopped waiting".

The bug is in the product, not the test. An MBTiles file's metadata is read on its own rustgis-mbtiles-info thread (mbtiles::info_ready), and that read was never counted in cache::in_flight(). While it ran, an export's complete() saw nothing in flight, so wait_for_news_unless returned at once. The generation stayed the same, so all six IDLE_PASSES went by in a few milliseconds and the export gave up with a false gap. Any read slower than six quick redraws hit this: a loaded runner, slow file opens on Windows, a virus scanner holding a file that was just written. A user export of a map with an MBTiles layer could hit it too. PMTiles headers go through fetch_local and are already counted.

• cache::Counted: a drop guard that counts a read outside the fetch workers as under way and ends it as finished() does (generation, then count, then waker). It is balanced however the thread ends, including a failed spawn. Native only.
• mbtiles::info_ready starts it before saying "pending" and drops it in place of the old cache::notify(), after the result is stored.
• archive_render_revision.rs: new an_export_waits_for_a_slow_mbtiles_metadata_read holds the read up with another connection's BEGIN EXCLUSIVE for 300 ms. Before this fix it failed every time with the same message as CI. The other warm-up and fresh-render credit assertions in the module now print gaps when they fail.
• tests/portable_projects/reload_tiles.rs: removed the workaround that waited for MBTiles metadata on its own, since cache::wait now covers it.

Testing

• New test on unfixed code: fails with the exact CI assertion (left: [], the "tiles were still on their way" gap).
• After the fix (macOS arm64): see the follow-up comment for module runs and the gate. Windows runs through the ci:windows label on this PR. This PR has not been checked on Windows locally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved archive rendering reliability when MBTiles metadata is being read. Rendering can continue to return the existing archive’s credits and tile without reporting gaps.
  • Improved tracking of pending reads so rendering waits account for metadata operations as well as tile fetches.

Walkthrough

MBTiles metadata reads now contribute to the in-flight count until their worker finishes. The render tests check output while an exclusive database lock is held, and the test helper uses the existing source-resolution polling loop.

Changes: MBTiles Read Accounting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Count MBTiles metadata reads crates/tiles/src/cache.rs, crates/tiles/src/mbtiles.rs	A native-only Counted guard tracks MBTiles metadata work in the in-flight count. The documentation now includes map-waited reads.
Verify rendering during archive reads crates/engine/src/tests/archive_render_revision.rs, crates/engine/tests/portable_projects/reload_tiles.rs	The render tests include gaps in assertion diagnostics and add a locked-database case that checks credits, tile color, and gaps. The test helper relies on source-resolution polling instead of an MBTiles-specific readiness wait.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Possibly related issues

• opengeos/RustGIS issue 1801: The reported export gap occurs when an MBTiles tile remains pending while cache::in_flight() is zero. This change counts MBTiles metadata reads as in-flight work.
• opengeos/RustGIS issue 1761: The issue proposes in-flight accounting for local archive reads. This change adds that accounting for MBTiles metadata reads.

Possibly related PRs

• opengeos/RustGIS#1765: It adds cache::Counted for MBTiles metadata reads and tests rendering during an archive read; this PR continues that implementation.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 0a8d3

This change makes exports wait for MBTiles metadata reads, which fixes the reported Windows gap. Two small issues remain: a rare deadlock if thread creation fails and a waker re-enters the metadata read, and a timing-sensitive new test. Neither is likely to block merge, but owners should be aware of both.

_{I’m a rabbit by the archive door,
Counting reads as they hop ashore.
The lock lets go; the tiles appear,
Old credits stay, the gaps disappear.
I nibble greens and thump the floor.}

Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Heavy lift

Keep the lock until the metadata read starts.

If the render or metadata worker starts more than 300 ms late, the lock is already released. The test can then pass without exercising the regression, including on unfixed code. Synchronize the lock release with an observed metadata-read attempt, and check that rendering has not completed before releasing it.

Release the pending-read lock before notifying the waker.

If thread creation fails, dropping counted invokes the waker while info_ready holds the pending-read mutex. A waker that calls info_ready can deadlock. Ensure notification runs outside the lock while preserving pending-entry cleanup and the in-flight count.

Verification on macOS arm64 (Windows runs through ci:windows here):

• cargo xtask ci (fmt, clippy -D warnings, tests, layers): passed.
• cargo test -p rustgis-engine --lib archive_render_revision, 30 runs in a row: 30 passed, 0 failed.
• cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p rustgis-tiles: clean.

[deniial00]

Closing as superseded by #1765 (e524249): it landed the same fix while this PR was open. It adds the same cache::Counted guard, spawns the metadata thread without the pending-reads lock held, and adds a barrier-held test for both PMTiles and MBTiles. That answers both CodeRabbit findings here: the timing in the 300 ms test, and the guard being dropped inside spawn under the lock.
