Reported as "cannot rollback - no transaction is active" — a secondary error.
SQLite auto-rolls back certain failures (SQLITE_BUSY / SQLITE_BUSY_SNAPSHOT,
disk full), after which the per-file loop's unguarded ROLLBACK in its catch
threw over the real error and aborted the whole build instead of skipping just
the bad file.
Stopgap only (see docs/adr/0006 for the planned full fix):
- Add safeRollback(db) in both indexers: it swallows only the rollback's own
error, so the true cause surfaces. Per-file failures are logged and the build
continues; the finalize failure still propagates.
- Give the skill's node:sqlite connection an explicit PRAGMA busy_timeout=5000
(it has no default). The app adds none: better-sqlite3 already defaults to
5000ms, so busy_timeout is NOT the root-cause fix and is not treated as one.
Add tests/app-rollback-guard.test.mjs: injects a DB that faithfully reproduces
"a write auto-rolls back the txn, then ROLLBACK errors" and asserts the build
survives (bad file skipped, other file indexed). Revert-checked: without the
guard the test fails with the exact "cannot rollback - no transaction is active".
docs/adr/0006 records the real fix (shared runWriteTransaction, single-writer
coordination, BEGIN IMMEDIATE, whole-transaction retry, PASSIVE checkpointing)
as deferred, two-phase work — and why bumping busy_timeout is not it.
Verified: suite 124/124, typecheck clean.

Convert the app's main and preload source from .js to .ts (git mv preserves
history), adding types where they carry value: the core-consumption seam
(BuildIndexOptions/BuildIndexResult, FileInfo), the indexer service/worker
factories, and the preload IPC bridge. Module-to-module specifiers use the
real .ts extension (mirroring scripts/, since Node type-stripping does not
rewrite .js->.ts); the worker's runtime path stays indexer-worker.js because
that is the built output.
Toolchain:
- Add app/tsconfig.json: strict but noImplicitAny:false (the app orchestrates
the already-strict core; annotating every SQLite-handle helper is low-value
churn) + allowImportingTsExtensions (safe under noEmit).
- Add @types/better-sqlite3 for the injected binding.
- electron.vite.config.ts inputs -> .ts; refresh the stale CommonJS comment.
- typecheck script runs root + app projects. Root tsconfig excludes the
app-importing tests (app-*.test.mjs, recap-capture-query.test.mjs) so the
lenient app files are not dragged into the strict root program; the app
source is covered by app/tsconfig.json instead. See docs/adr/0005.
Verified: npm run typecheck (root + app) clean; suite 121/121; electron-vite
build emits all 6 main entries + preload with no .ts/node:sqlite residue in
the bundles.
