# Task 08: Hard Negative Crash Invariant Test

## Delivers

Integration tests proving that after any crash scenario, `RETRIEVE` never returns items that the user has hidden (hard negatives) or content from creators that the user has blocked. This is the ultimate correctness invariant for crash recovery: no matter what goes wrong during a crash, the user's negative preferences are respected in query results.

The invariant under test: if a user has recorded a `hide` relationship on item X or a `block` relationship on creator C, then after any crash-and-recovery sequence, `RETRIEVE ... FOR USER @user ... FILTER unblocked, unseen` must never include item X or any item by creator C in the results.

## Complexity: M

## Dependencies

- Task 07 (M6 crash fencing -- ensures all state surfaces recover correctly, which is prerequisite for this end-to-end invariant)

## Technical Design

### 1. Test architecture

Each test follows this pattern:

1. **Setup**: Open persistent database. Write items with metadata (including `creator_id`). Write user relationships (hide, block). Write signals to ensure items are rankable.
2. **Verify pre-crash**: Execute `RETRIEVE` and confirm hidden/blocked items are absent.
3. **Crash simulation**: Close and reopen the database (simulating a clean restart, which is the minimal crash scenario; the property tests from tasks 02 and 07 cover unclean crashes).
4. **Verify post-crash**: Execute the same `RETRIEVE` and confirm hidden/blocked items are still absent.

### 2. Hidden items invariant

### 6. Hard negative leak detection

Test that hard negatives recorded via the session feedback path also survive restart. This covers the `HardNegIndex` rebuild from durable `RelationshipType::Hide` edges.

```rust

            .open()
            .unwrap();

        write_items_with_creators(&db, 20);
        db.write_user(EntityId::new(user_id), &HashMap::new()).unwrap();

        // Start a session and record negative feedback.
        let handle = db.start_session(user_id, "test-agent", "default").unwrap();

        // Signal "skip" or "dislike" which triggers hard negative.
        let ts = Timestamp::now();

        db.hide_item(EntityId::new(user_id), EntityId::new(5)).unwrap();
        db.hide_item(EntityId::new(user_id), EntityId::new(12)).unwrap();

        db.close_session(handle.session_id()).unwrap();
        db.close().unwrap();
    }

    {
        let db = TidalDb::builder()
            .with_data_dir(dir.path())
            .with_schema(schema)
            .open()
            .unwrap();

        // The hard negatives should be rebuilt from the users engine
        // (RelationshipType::Hide edges).
        let query = Retrieve::builder()
            .for_user(user_id)
            .using_profile("chronological")
            .filter_unseen()

        let result_ids: Vec<u64> = results.items.iter().map(|i| i.entity_id.as_u64()).collect();
        assert!(
            !result_ids.contains(&5),
            "hidden item 5 leaked after restart"
        );
        assert!(
            !result_ids.contains(&12),

        );

        db.close().unwrap();
    }
}
```

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] `hidden_items_never_returned_after_restart`: hidden items absent from RETRIEVE after clean restart
- [ ] `blocked_creator_content_never_returned_after_restart`: blocked creator items absent after restart
- [ ] `combined_hide_and_block_after_restart`: both hidden items and blocked creator content absent
- [ ] `no_phantom_items_after_restart`: 100 proptest cases with random hide/block patterns, no invariant violations
- [ ] `hard_negatives_from_session_survive_restart`: session-recorded hard negatives persist through restart
- [ ] No test produces a false positive (the invariant is actually tested end-to-end through RETRIEVE, not just by checking internal state)
- [ ] All tests pass with `cargo test --test m7_crash_invariant`

## Test Strategy

The tests above ARE the deliverable. Key design principles:

1. **End-to-end verification**: Every invariant is verified by executing a `RETRIEVE` query through the public API. This catches bugs anywhere in the pipeline (state rebuild, filter evaluation, user state index, hard negative index).

2. **Persistent mode only**: All tests use `with_data_dir()` to exercise the full durability pipeline.

3. **Property tests for coverage**: The `no_phantom_items_after_restart` proptest generates random combinations of hidden items and blocked creators to catch edge cases in the rebuild logic (e.g., boundary conditions in `RoaringBitmap` serialization, off-by-one in entity ID casting).

4. **Explicit creator mapping**: Items are assigned to creators deterministically (`creator_id = (item_id % 5) + 1`) so the test can verify which items should be blocked without needing to read metadata.

5. **Both hide and block paths**: The tests exercise both `hide_item` (user -> item edge, `Tag::Rel` with `RelationshipType::Hide`) and `block_creator` (user -> creator edge, `RelationshipType::Blocks`). Both are rebuilt by `rebuild_entity_state` from the users engine scan.
