  • AuthorizationManifest::is_unrestricted() checks the cached profile under profiles_mutex. ProtectedAtomDB returns the backend handle set directly for unrestricted callers and skips per-handle checks. Restricted callers retain filtering; a null backend result returns an empty set.
  • The unrestricted path avoids allocating and copying a filtered handle set on query hot paths. The restricted path still allocates a new set and copies authorized handles and metadata.
  • RemoteAtomDBPeer::query_for_pattern() warms the cache from remote results, then calls merge_memory(), which queries the cache again. The inspected implementation therefore does not establish that the extra cache query was removed.
  • Correctness and concurrency risks appear limited in the inspected code: profile lookup uses a mutex, and null atoms are rejected before authorization. However, remote pattern-query behavior has no matching targeted test in the inspected test excerpts.
  • AuthorizationManifestTest.IsUnrestricted covers unloaded, unrestricted, restricted, unknown, and empty keys. Existing remote peer tests cover general cache and pattern behavior, but no test result or execution status was supplied.

Walkthrough

The change adds a cached-profile unrestricted check to AuthorizationManifest. ProtectedAtomDB uses that status when checking read access and filtering handle sets. Restricted profiles continue through atom-based authorization.

Changes

Atom Read Authorization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cached unrestricted status
src/atomdb/auth/AuthorizationManifest.h, src/atomdb/auth/AuthorizationManifest.cc, src/tests/cpp/authorization_test.cc
AuthorizationManifest adds a locked lookup for cached profile unrestricted status. Tests cover unloaded, loaded unrestricted, restricted, unknown, and empty keys.
Protected atom read checks
src/atomdb/ProtectedAtomDB.h, src/atomdb/ProtectedAtomDB.cc
can_read checks backend existence for unrestricted profiles and uses atom-based authorization for restricted profiles. Read authorization rejects null atoms. Handle filters return backend results directly for unrestricted keys and retain per-handle checks for other keys.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title clearly describes the primary implemented change: optimizing unrestricted access. It omits the secondary RemoteAtomDBPeer query optimization, but the title does not need to cover every change.

Full details: Tests For Behavior Changes

Explanation

Production behavior changes in ProtectedAtomDB: unrestricted callers now bypass per-handle authorization, handle checks use atom_exists(), and null atoms are rejected. The only test change is AuthorizationManifestTest.IsUnrestricted, which does not exercise ProtectedAtomDB handle queries. The description does not justify omitted behavior tests. The authoritative PR diff contains no RemoteAtomDBPeer change, so that part of the prior failure is not applicable; the ProtectedAtomDB coverage gap remains.

Resolution

Add C++ tests in src/tests/cpp/protected_atomdb_test.cc for unrestricted query_for_pattern and related handle-query paths. Verify that the backend HandleSet is returned unchanged, missing handles remain excluded, and restricted behavior remains filtered. If RemoteAtomDBPeer cache-miss behavior is intended to be part of this PR, include a cache-miss test; otherwise state the intentional omission in the PR description.

Move the allocation below the unrestricted fast path.

authorized_handle_set is allocated before this branch. Unrestricted queries return original_handle_set, so that allocation is immediately discarded.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Restore the read-cache merge on cache misses.

RemoteAtomDBPeer::query_for_pattern is a reachable public path. If the remote query returns a non-null result that does not contain a matching handle already present only in the read cache, the current branch omits that handle. merge_read_cache() can be restored after merge_write_buffer() without duplicates because both merges use seen.

Suggested fix
        merge_write_buffer();
-        // Do not query the read cache here. It has just been populated
-        // from remote_handle_set, which is already present in result
+        merge_read_cache();

389-389: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Move the empty handle-set allocation after the unrestricted return.

filter_handle_set allocates authorized_handle_set before it checks is_unrestricted. An unrestricted query returns original_handle_set, so every such query discards the empty allocation. Allocate an empty set only for a null result or restricted filtering.

As per path instructions: “Avoid heap allocations in hot paths.”

Review comment at @src/atomdb/ProtectedAtomDB.cc at line 389:
In filter_handle_set, move the authorized_handle_set allocation after the
is_unrestricted early return so unrestricted queries return original_handle_set
without allocating. Preserve an empty set for null results and restricted
filtering.
