From 9b0042d78c9250d7d5f08c95166fc897c52b30da Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt Miller Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 13:43:09 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat(assets): bind cursor to sort order + Go-compat JSON escaping MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Address three needs-judgment items from the cursor-review judge synthesis: 1. Cursor wire format now includes an "o" key carrying the sort direction ("asc" / "desc") it was minted under. A request that replays the cursor with a flipped `order` parameter is rejected with 400 INVALID_CURSOR instead of silently walking the wrong direction. Legacy cursors without "o" still decode (the binding is best-effort until cloud mirrors the field — follow-up filed separately). 2. JSON serialization now escapes `<`, `>`, `&`, U+2028, U+2029 to mirror Go's default `json.Marshal` behavior. Without this, an asset name containing those characters produced different bytes on Python vs cloud Go. The escaped form is what both runtimes emit. 3. Add direct query-layer tests for the keyset tiebreaker — the secondary ORDER BY id branch was previously unexercised. Two scenarios: all rows share a primary sort value, and mixed ties straddle page boundaries. Both assert no row is dropped or duplicated across the walk. Wire-format note: Python cursors now differ from current cloud cursors by exactly the "o" key. Cloud follow-up will bring the two back into byte alignment. --- app/assets/services/asset_management.py | 12 +- app/assets/services/cursor.py | 95 ++++++++++++--- .../queries/test_asset_reference_keyset.py | 112 ++++++++++++++++++ .../assets_test/services/test_cursor.py | 109 +++++++++++++---- tests-unit/assets_test/test_list_cursor.py | 34 ++++++ 5 files changed, 316 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) create mode 100644 tests-unit/assets_test/queries/test_asset_reference_keyset.py diff --git a/app/assets/services/asset_management.py b/app/assets/services/asset_management.py index 93d32aaa8..26beba86f 100644 --- a/app/assets/services/asset_management.py +++ b/app/assets/services/asset_management.py @@ -290,7 +290,7 @@ def list_assets_page( raise InvalidCursorError( f"cursor pagination is not supported for sort={sort!r}" ) - payload = decode_cursor(after, _CURSOR_SORT_FIELDS) + payload = decode_cursor(after, _CURSOR_SORT_FIELDS, expected_order=order) if payload.sort_field != sort: raise InvalidCursorError( f"cursor sort field {payload.sort_field!r} does not match request sort {sort!r}" @@ -323,7 +323,7 @@ def list_assets_page( # There's at least one more row past this page — mint a cursor from # the last row of the page (i.e. index `limit - 1`, since we # over-fetched), and drop the sentinel. - next_cursor = _encode_next_cursor(refs[limit - 1], sort) + next_cursor = _encode_next_cursor(refs[limit - 1], sort, order) refs = refs[:limit] items: list[AssetSummaryData] = [] @@ -350,7 +350,7 @@ def _resolve_cursor_value(payload: CursorPayload) -> object: return payload.value # name, str-typed -def _encode_next_cursor(ref, sort: str) -> str | None: +def _encode_next_cursor(ref, sort: str, order: str) -> str | None: """Mint a cursor pointing at *ref* for the given sort dimension.
