From 325e78066d4f2c8438f4b1e299a5da78e39b35ee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Jeremy D. Miller" Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 07:14:00 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [#4409] JSON-encode scalar projections when streaming to a response body MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit WriteArray / StreamJsonArray / WriteOne / StreamJsonOne against a scalar projection (`.Select(x => x.SomeEnum)` under `EnumStorage.AsString`, or any `.Select(x => x.StringProperty)`) used to emit raw bytes from Postgres between the array brackets and commas. Postgres returns `data->>'X'` as text (no JSON quoting), so the body landed as `[FooValue,BarValue]` — invalid JSON, and downstream `System.Text.Json` reads blew up with "'F' is an invalid start of a value". Numeric / boolean projections happened to look like valid JSON, masking the bug. Centralize per-row writes through a new `WriteJsonValueAsync` on `NpgsqlDataReader` that branches on `GetDataTypeName`: - `jsonb` / `json` columns — copy the field stream byte-for-byte with the existing SOH-skip (unchanged document-streaming behavior). - DBNull — write the JSON `null` literal. - Everything else — materialize the .NET value via `reader.GetFieldValueAsync` and round-trip through `JsonSerializer.SerializeAsync` so strings get JSON-quoted and escaped (handling embedded `"`, `\`, control characters), numerics / booleans / dates get their JSON literal representation, and enums-as-string come out as `"FooValue"` instead of `FooValue`. Routes the existing `StreamMany` / `StreamOne` extensions and the inline copy in `OneResultHandler.StreamJson` through the new helper. Document streaming paths (whole-doc jsonb column) keep the previous fast-path verbatim — `WriteJsonValueAsync`'s first branch is the same SOH-skip copy that was there before. Closes #4409.

Miller" Date: Mon, 18 May 2026 08:16:07 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Unwrap AggregateException in ForceAllMartenDaemonActivityToCatchUpAsync's cancellation guard MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit #4463's OCE-rethrow guard only matched bare OperationCanceledException. JasperFxAsyncDaemon.CatchUpAsync bundles per-shard cancellation exceptions into an AggregateException before throwing, so a CI run where the test's CTS fires partway through the catch-up still surfaces as a misleading "exceptions should be empty but had 1 item" assertion failure — the AggregateException wraps a single OperationCanceledException (wrapping a Postgres 57014 'canceling statement due to user request') but the outer type didn't match the guard. Tighten the guard with an IsCallerCancellation helper that recursively treats AggregateException-of-cancellations as caller cancellation too. On the cancelled-CT path the helper paves over both the bare OCE and the AggregateException cases, replaces both with a single OperationCanceledException re-throw, and leaves genuine daemon exceptions flowing into the list as before.

Neither helped the latest CI flake: https://github.com/JasperFx/marten/actions/runs/26035890428/job/76533776264?pr=4464 The new evidence: failure lands in 176 ms with the test's CTS set to 45s, so `cancellation.IsCancellationRequested` is false in the catch handler — the OCE isn't caller cancellation. It originates at GroupedProjectionExecution.processRangeAsync line 192 → range.Agent.ReportCriticalFailureAsync(e), where the per-shard internal CTS gets cancelled during the batch build. The daemon's Recorder captures it and JasperFxAsyncDaemon.CatchUpAsync line 716 re-throws as AggregateException — by which point ForceAllMartenDaemonActivityToCatchUpAsync's guards can't tell apart "user cancelled" from "shard's own state got cancelled by its own lifecycle." The real fix lives in the JasperFx.Events daemon's internal cancellation contract (StopAllAsync followed by CatchUpAsync leaking a cancelled per-shard CTS into the new agents under timing pressure). Tracking that in #4462. The AggregateException unwrap stays in place as defense in depth for the caller-cancellation path — it's still correct, just insufficient on its own.
