name: cyclone-store
description: "Cyclone store write-paths, the pubsub event contract (claim_written / remittance_written / activity_recorded), and the SP21 store-split boundary map. Use when: touching store.py, adding a new entity, wiring a new write event, or splitting a store module."

# cyclone-store
Cyclone persists every parsed X12 batch through one facade,
`CycloneStore` (`backend/src/cyclone/store.py:882`). Every write
inserts the row AND publishes a pubsub event on the in-process
`EventBus` (`backend/src/cyclone/pubsub.py:20`) so live-tail pages
see new rows the moment they land. The event contract is the seam
between persistence and streaming — a wrong event name silently
goes stale.
As of this writing: the store is a **single 2412-line module** and
the SP21 split into `backend/src/cyclone/store/` is in progress.
Three event kinds: `claim_written`, `remittance_written`,
`activity_recorded`. Next: **SP22**.
## When to use
- **Adding a new entity.** You need a new ORM model + write method +
event kind + snapshot serializer and want to know where each piece
lives (current monolith vs. post-SP21 module).
- **Wiring a new write event.** You're adding a `<entity>_written`
event and need both the publish call in the store AND the
subscribe call in the live-tail endpoint to stay in sync.
- **Debugging a write-path issue.** A page isn't reflecting new
rows, the DB has the row but the stream is silent, or the publish
raises and rolls back the transaction.
- **Splitting a store module.** You're moving a domain out of
`store.py` into its own module under `backend/src/cyclone/store/`
and need the SP21 module list + facade re-export rules.
## Conventions
1. **All writes go through `CycloneStore`.** Route handlers and
parsers must not write directly to the ORM session. The facade
opens a short-lived session via `db.SessionLocal()()`. Direct ORM
access is the #1 way the live-tail contract gets bypassed (no
event published → page silently goes stale). Read paths are
similar — prefer the facade's `iter_*` / `get_*` methods over raw
`s.execute(select(...))`.
2. **Every write publishes an event.** The event name matches the
entity: `claim_written`, `remittance_written`,
`activity_recorded` (the trailing `_recorded` signals a
non-canonical row — activity events are derived, not first-class;
current names at `store.py:1072,1081,1096`). New entities get
`<entity>_written`; activity-style side rows get
`<entity>_recorded`. Publish is **best-effort** — failures are
logged but never roll back the persisted batch
(`store.py:1097-1098`).
3. **Snapshot shape.** Each entity has a `to_ui_<entity>` serializer
(plain Python function returning a dict) — currently
`to_ui_claim`, `to_ui_remittance`, `to_ui_claim_from_orm`,
`to_ui_remittance_from_orm`, `to_ui_provider`. Post-SP21 these
move to `backend/src/cyclone/store/ui.py`. The serializer is the
single source of truth for what the frontend sees — every event
payload MUST match what the matching list endpoint returns for
that row (`store.py:1052-1054`).
4. **SP21 boundaries.** Post-split, each domain lives in its own
module under `backend/src/cyclone/store/`: `__init__.py` (facade
+ `CycloneStore` class), `exceptions.py`, `records.py`,
`orm_builders.py`, `ui.py`, `write.py`, `batches.py`,
`claim_detail.py`, `acks.py`, `backups.py`, `inbox.py`,
`providers.py`. Cross-module writes go through `CycloneStore`
facade methods, not direct module access. The facade re-exports
every name callers currently import from `cyclone.store`. Full
list: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-21-cyclone-store-split.md:25-37`.
5. **No business logic in route handlers.** A route handler validates
input, calls `store.<method>(...)`, passes the `event_bus`,
returns the serialized result. Reconciliation, idempotency
checks, CAS adjustment persistence — all live in the store.
## Patterns
### A `CycloneStore.add` write — publishes events from inserted rows
Taken from `backend/src/cyclone/store.py:898-1107`. The method opens
a session, inserts rows, then runs a sync `_publish_events_sync`
after commit so subscribers can immediately re-fetch consistent data.
```python
def add(
self,
record: BatchRecord,
*,
event_bus: "EventBus | None" = None,
) -> None:
inserted_claim_ids: list[str] = []
with db.SessionLocal()() as s:
s.add(Batch(id=record.id, kind=record.kind, ...))
if isinstance(record, BatchRecord837):
for claim in record.result.claims:
if s.get(Claim, claim.claim_id) is not None:
continue # idempotency: skip dupes
s.add(_claim_837_row(claim, record.id))
s.add(ActivityEvent(kind="claim_submitted", ...))
inserted_claim_ids.append(claim.claim_id)
# ... 835 branch + flush + cas adjustments ...
s.commit()
if event_bus is not None and inserted_claim_ids:
self._publish_events_sync(event_bus, record, inserted_claim_ids)
def _publish_events_sync(self, event_bus, record, claim_ids):
with db.SessionLocal()() as s:
for cid in claim_ids:
ui = to_ui_claim_from_orm(s.get(Claim, cid), ...)
self._sync_publish(event_bus, "claim_written", ui)
# ... remittance + activity loops ...
```
`EventBus.publish` is async but the body is pure sync `put_nowait`,
so the store calls `_sync_publish` directly to avoid forcing sync
FastAPI handlers to await.
### Backend `/api/<resource>/stream` endpoint — subscribes to the event
Taken from `backend/src/cyclone/api.py:1380-1401`. Two phases — eager
snapshot, then live subscription — wrapped in `StreamingResponse`
with `media_type="application/x-ndjson"`.
```python
@app.get("/api/claims/stream")
async def claims_stream(request: Request, ...) -> StreamingResponse:
bus: EventBus = request.app.state.event_bus
async def gen() -> AsyncIterator[bytes]:
rows = store.iter_claims(status=status, ...) # 1. Snapshot
for row in rows:
yield _ndjson_line({"type": "item", "data": row})
yield _ndjson_line({"type": "snapshot_end", "data": {"count": len(rows)}})
async for chunk in _tail_events(request, bus, ["claim_written"]): # 2. Live
yield chunk
return StreamingResponse(gen(), media_type="application/x-ndjson")
```
`_ndjson_line` and `_tail_events` live in
`backend/src/cyclone/api_helpers.py`. The `["remittance_written"]`
and `["activity_recorded"]` subscriptions are at `api.py:1891,2002`.
### Backend test — asserts both the row AND the event landed
The autouse `conftest.py` (`backend/tests/conftest.py:20`) wires a
fresh `EventBus` onto `app.state` per test.
```python
def test_publishes_claim_written_event(client: TestClient) -> None:
bus = app.state.event_bus
resp = client.post("/api/parse-837",
files={"file": ("x.837", MINIMAL_837, "text/plain")})
assert resp.status_code == 200
assert list(store.iter_claims(limit=10)) # row landed
queues = bus._subscribers.get("claim_written", []) # event published
assert queues
evt = queues[0].get_nowait()
assert evt["_kind"] == "claim_written"
```
## Anti-patterns
- **Don't read directly from the ORM in a route handler — go through
the snapshot serializer.** A handler that does
`with db.SessionLocal()() as s: row = s.get(Claim, cid); return row`
bypasses `to_ui_claim_from_orm` and silently drifts from the event
payload shape. Always call `store.get_claim_detail(cid)` (or the
equivalent `get_*` facade method).
- **Don't introduce a new event name without updating the subscriber
list.** Today every `<entity>_written` event has exactly one
consumer — the matching `/api/<resource>/stream` endpoint,
currently in `backend/src/cyclone/api.py` (claims at `:1398`,
remittances at `:1891`, activity at `:2002`). Any future split
into `backend/src/cyclone/api_routers/` must wire the same
subscription.
- **Don't merge a write method with its event publication into
separate places.** `_publish_events_sync` lives next to `add` in
`store.py:1042-1107` so reviewers see both halves of the contract
in one diff. Post-SP21 the same rule applies.
- **Don't make the publish call blocking on commit failures.**
Publish errors are caught and logged at `store.py:1097-1098`; a
failing subscriber MUST NOT roll back the persisted batch. The
batch is the source of truth; the event is the cache-invalidation
hint.
## Related skills
- **`cyclone-edi`** — the parsed `ClaimOutput` / `ParseResult<EDI>`
lands in the store via `CycloneStore.add`.
- **`cyclone-api-router`** — the route that calls `store.<method>(...)`
and (for stream endpoints) subscribes to the matching
`<entity>_written` event.
- **`cyclone-tail`** — the consumer side of the event contract;
load when changing the wire format or adding a streaming hook.
- **`cyclone-tests`** — write-path tests live under `backend/tests/`
and assert both the DB row and the event payload.
