The watcher thread crashed in production with "database is locked", and
under load the damage is worse than a stalled rescan:
sqlite3.InterfaceError: bad parameter or other API misuse
TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable
Radicale serializes its request threads with Storage.acquire_lock, but the
watcher calls index.rescan() outside it. Both share one sqlite3 connection,
and rescan is a multi-statement read-modify-write — bump the generation,
reparse, reconcile identities, prune, commit. Interleaving two of those
corrupts the reconcile pass and misuses the connection.
Give Index an RLock and take it in every public method. Writer holds it
across validate → write → reindex, since a rescan landing between _load
and the splice would invalidate the byte spans about to be written.
Two supporting fixes:
- _rebuild_memory assigned an empty dict before refilling it, so a reader
could observe a half-populated task list. Build, then swap.
- Open the database in WAL with a 30s busy_timeout, so `mdcaldav doctor`
run against a live server waits instead of failing.
This is also a second, independent cause of the ETag churn fixed in
2552545: a corrupted reconcile pass reassigns last_modified on tasks that
never changed.
