Fixes #822.

Problem

Every data-storage write of CommitmentTree / BulkAppendTree (and so PrivateDocumentStore) was issued with cost_info: None, so the commit path charged key + value as added_bytes — for writes that are physically replacement churn:

  • the compaction chunk blob was billed as ~epoch_size × entry of new storage on the one append that compacts, although it supersedes the buffer entries it was built from (whose 2-byte position keys the next epoch simply overwrites — DenseFixedSizedMerkleTree::reset() only zeroes count and the cache);
  • buffer writes from the second epoch on were billed as new, although they overwrite last epoch's stale value at the same key;
  • the frontier (__ct_data__) was billed in full on every append, although it is one value rewritten in place.

Measured on Dash Platform's shielded notes (216-byte note, 1-action transfer, real applies): ~1,200 B metered per note against ~550 B that persist, with a 630,166 B spike (~17.3B credits) landing on one arbitrary transaction per epoch. Downstream that over-states shielded storage ~2× and is what made #813's (correct) upper bound unusable as an admission floor: worst position × worst accounting.

Change

Storage accounting v1, gated by a new bulk_append_tree_versions.cost.storage_accounting slot (0 on V1–V3, 1 on V4 — the append-only family is V4-only and V4 has not activated, so no migration), charges each entry's permanent bytes once and reports churn as replaced:

write v0 (shipped) v1
buffer entry key + value added, every epoch entry + varint + amortized framing share added (key new only in the first epoch)
compaction blob whole blob added replaced = the pre-paid buffer bytes it supersedes; the compacting append's own entry (which never enters the buffer) added explicitly; residual added
frontier save whole value added, every append replaced = previous serialization; growth only added

Plumbing: DenseFixedSizedMerkleTree::try_insert{,_no_root}_with_cost_info; MmrStore::with_put_cost_infos (MMR nodes are staged in an overlay and written at commit_mmr, so the blob's report travels with its staged position — BulkAppendTree::pending_blob_cost_infos); CommitmentTree::save(grove_version) tracks the stored frontier length; and the transactional context's direct put now adds the prefixed-key bytes for a new_node exactly as the Merk batch path (PrefixedMultiContextBatchPart::put) does — nothing outside Merk passed cost info before, so no double counting.

The V4 CommitmentTreeInsert estimator (commitment_tree_insert_op_cost) and the PrivateDocumentStoreInsert arm follow: the epoch scale moves to a replaced-bytes term and the added term no longer scales with the epoch. Three estimator tests whose expectations encoded "blob as added" are updated accordingly (declared-chunk-power tightening now shows in replaced_bytes; the oversized-payload saturation lands on replaced_bytes; the PDS direct test's "2× entry" becomes 1× entry + epoch × entry replaced).

Stored bytes, chunks, roots and proofs are identical under both versions — this is cost reporting only.

Tests

append_only_storage_accounting_tests: v1 compaction is replacement (replaced ≥ epoch × entry, added < replaced/4 and in the band of an ordinary append); every append adds at least its entry and second-epoch appends never exceed first-epoch ones; frontier rewrites report replaced; v0's legacy compaction spike pinned on GROVE_V3; V3/V4 roots identical after the same appends; v1 epoch total added within 1.5× of the permanent entry bytes while v0 double-counts. The existing estimate-dominates property tests (commitment_tree_cost_bound_tests) pass unchanged at every swept position including the compaction boundary at chunk_power 11. New version-pin test for the slot.

Full workspace: all suites green (grovedb 2831 passed), clippy clean, verify-only build unaffected.

…ot new storage

Every data-storage write of CommitmentTree / BulkAppendTree (and so
PrivateDocumentStore) was issued with no cost info, so the commit path
charged key + value as added bytes: the compaction's chunk blob was
billed as ~epoch_size x entry of NEW storage on the one append that
compacts, although it supersedes the buffer entries it was built from
(whose position keys the next epoch simply overwrites); buffer writes
from the second epoch on were billed as new although they overwrite a
stale slot; and the frontier was billed in full on every append although
it is one value rewritten in place. Measured on Dash Platform's shielded
notes: ~1,200 B metered per note against ~550 B that persist, with a
~630 KB spike on one arbitrary transaction per epoch (issue #822).

Storage accounting v1, gated by the new
bulk_append_tree_versions.cost.storage_accounting slot (0 on V1..V3,
1 on V4), charges each entry's permanent bytes once, as added, by the
append that creates it (entry + varint + an amortized chunk-framing
share), and reports the churn as replaced: the chunk blob as replacement
of the pre-paid buffer bytes (the compacting append pays its own entry,
which never enters the buffer, explicitly), the frontier rewrite as
replacement of its previous serialization with only growth as added.
MMR nodes are staged in an overlay and written at commit_mmr, so the
blob's report travels with its staged position until then. The
transactional context's direct put now adds the prefixed-key bytes for
a new key exactly as the Merk batch path does (nothing outside Merk
passed cost info before).

The V4 CommitmentTreeInsert estimator and the PrivateDocumentStoreInsert
arm follow: the epoch scale moves to a replaced-bytes term and the added
term no longer scales with the epoch; the estimate-dominates property
tests hold at every position including the compaction boundary. Stored
bytes, chunks, roots and proofs are identical under both versions, which
a test pins by comparing V3 and V4 roots after the same appends.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ac2b1

This PR changes how append-only storage writes are charged, but the current implementation still misclassifies later buffer overwrites, can report incorrect costs after a failed write is retried, and lacks required proof and batch-atomicity coverage. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness and validation issues are addressed.

Keep cost metadata when a node write fails.

Line 114 removes the metadata before elem.serialize() and StorageContext::put() succeed. If either operation fails, BulkAppendTree::commit_mmr restores the overlay but can only recover metadata still held by MmrStore. A retry then writes this chunk blob with None cost info and reports default added bytes instead of its required replacement bytes.

Remove the metadata only after a successful put. Reinsert it before returning an error if the put fails.

Report later buffer writes as replacements.

Line 62 charges every buffer value as added_bytes. After the first epoch, new_key is false, but this only suppresses the key charge. The dense-buffer value at that position is also overwritten. V4 therefore charges every later epoch as permanent added storage instead of replacement storage.

Proposed fix
 pub(crate) fn buffer_entry_cost_info(value_len: u32, new_key: bool) -> KeyValueStorageCost {
-    let added = entry_charge_bytes(value_len);
+    let entry_cost = entry_charge_bytes(value_len);

Preserve the typed version error across map_ct_err. map_ct_err converts CommitmentTreeError::VersionError into Error::CommitmentTreeError(String), which loses the GroveVersionError payload and prevents typed matching. Store GroveVersionError in CommitmentTreeError::VersionError and map it explicitly.

CommitmentTreeError::VersionError to store GroveVersionError rather than String,
then adjust map_ct_err to explicitly preserve and propagate that typed payload
when converting errors. Keep typed matching available through
Error::CommitmentTreeError instead of reducing the version error to a string.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add proof and batch-atomicity coverage.

The suite applies one append per batch and compares only root hashes. It does not generate and verify V3/V4 proofs. It does not test a multi-insert batch that fails after an earlier append and verify that no partial state persists.

Add these cases for the versioned accounting path. Based on PR objectives, stored bytes, chunks, roots, and proofs must remain identical. As per coding guidelines, “Every state-modifying operation must have proof-verification coverage, accurate cost-accounting tests, reference-integrity tests, and batch-atomicity coverage where applicable.”

Also applies to: 188-196

Classify reused buffer-slot writes as replacements.

Lines 122-148 assert that second-epoch appends add their entry bytes. This conflicts with storage-accounting v1. A reused buffer key overwrites stale bytes, so its entry bytes must be reported in replaced_bytes, not added_bytes.

Keep the added-byte floor for first-epoch writes. For second-epoch non-compacting writes, assert an entry-sized replacement and exclude the entry from added bytes.

Superseded by #825, which implements the same #822 accounting more completely: slot rewrites from epoch 2 are sized against the committed value (so an epoch boundary inside one StorageBatch — where only the last put per key is charged — still bills each slot once), the commitment tree gets its own commitment_tree_versions gate, the PDS/BulkAppend estimators gain the matching replaced terms, and the crate-level contexts pin v0/v1 cost_info per put. The version-slot, tx-context key-cost completion, MMR leaf cost hook and estimator direction here are the same; #825 is the one to take.
