fix(storage): keep non-HTTP transports working in single-user mode - #86
Conversation
Phase 2 made getDb() resolve a database from the verified tenant context, but only the HTTP transport establishes one. stdio, TCP, unix socket and WebSocket had no tenant scope, so requireTenant() threw on every storage call — breaking the engine for local users of the npm package, the standalone binaries copied into the desktop app, and MCP client configs that spawn it over stdio. That is a regression, not a boundary: those transports serve a single operator and there is no second tenant to isolate from. They now open one local database up front via useSingleUserDatabase(), which restores the previous behaviour exactly. assertNoLegacyDatabase() becomes HTTP-only for the same reason. On a hosted server a pre-split rpg.db means an incomplete cutover and is worth refusing to start over; in single-user mode that same file is simply the operator's database, so asserting on it would stop the engine from starting at all. Multi-tenancy stays a property of the hosted server, which is the only place a request carries an identity to scope by.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe server now selects database initialization by transport. HTTP retains legacy-database validation and campaign database logging. Non-HTTP transports use the optional ChangesDatabase initialization
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR restores local single-user storage access, but database initialization can retain a partially migrated handle after a migration failure, and exposed TCP/WebSocket deployments may allow unauthenticated clients to access the shared database when no token is configured. Merge should wait for the initialization fix and an explicit authentication guard or owner acceptance of the network behavior. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

When two local/TCP/WebSocket callers supply different sessionId values, this branch only installs a database and leaves both requests without tenant context. withSession therefore replaces both IDs with unscoped (src/server/types.ts:35-40), while event subscriptions, worlds, and combat engines are keyed by ctx.sessionId; callers can consequently share or overwrite each other's in-memory state. Single-user database mode should retain the caller's session identity (or establish an equivalent transport-local context) rather than restoring storage while collapsing every session.

When both RPG_MCP_DB_PATH and --db-path are present, passing the CLI value directly makes resolveDbPath(path) choose it before getDefaultDbPath() can apply the existing documented environment-first precedence (src/storage/index.ts:76-94). This differs from the pre-sharding single-database behavior the change is restoring and can make a deployment silently open and migrate a different database than the configured environment path; call the initializer without a path or preserve the established precedence explicitly.

When

If the transport accepts an undefinedauthToken, any reachable client can read or modify the operator's database without tenant isolation. Reject this configuration or force non-HTTP network transports to loopback before callinguseSingleUserDatabase().

Cache the database only after migration succeeds.
If migrate() throws, Line 296 has already stored the open handle in overrideDb. A later call skips initialization and returns the partially migrated database. Migrate a local handle first, close it on failure, and assign overrideDb only after migration succeeds.
Suggested initialization order
if (!overrideDb) {
const resolvedPath = resolveDbPath(path);
console.error(`[Database] Single-user mode: ${resolvedPath}`);
- overrideDb = initDB(resolvedPath);
- migrate(overrideDb);
+ const database = initDB(resolvedPath);
+ try {
+ migrate(database);
+ } catch (error) {
+ database.close();
+ throw error;
+ }
+ overrideDb = database;

A regression from Phase 2 (#83), found by auditing the engine through a local stdio MCP client.
The problem
getDb()resolves a database from the verified tenant context, but only the HTTP transport establishes one.runInTenantappears solely intransport/http.ts.So stdio, TCP, unix socket and WebSocket have no tenant scope, and
requireTenant()throws on every storage call. That breaks the engine for:Those transports serve a single operator. There is no second tenant to isolate from, so failing closed there is a regression rather than a boundary.
assertNoLegacyDatabase()compounded it: it ran unconditionally at startup, so a local operator whose database is the perfectly-correct%APPDATA%/rpg-mcp/rpg.dbcould not start the engine at all.The fix
Non-HTTP transports call
useSingleUserDatabase(), which opens one local database up front — exactly the pre-Phase-2 behaviour, including--db-pathandRPG_MCP_DB_PATH.assertNoLegacyDatabase()becomes HTTP-only. On a hosted server a pre-split file means an incomplete cutover and is worth refusing to start over; in single-user mode that same file is simply the operator's database.Multi-tenancy stays a property of the hosted server, which is the only place a request carries an identity to scope by.
Risk
Low, and it restores rather than changes behaviour.
getDb()has one resolution path with two entry points rather than a new branch in the hot path.Acceptance criteria
--db-pathandRPG_MCP_DB_PATHstill select the local database.rpg.dbcan start the engine.Verification
npm test— 2,364 passed / 7 skipped, no failures.npx tsc --noEmit— exit 0.npm run build— clean.Found by calling the engine through a local stdio MCP client: meta-tools answered, which is correct, and the storage tools would have failed on any build carrying Phase 2. The local checkout is still on a pre-Phase-2 build, which is why it currently works.
