This PR enables experimental (opt-in) collaborative proofreading (ignoring segment lists and meshes). Multiple users can split and merge agglomerates "in parallel". Synchronization happens as follows:

  • in contrast to the master, a mutex is not eagerly acquired anymore as soon as an annotation is opened (in case of the opt-in collab proofreading)
  • [identical to the current master] after each split or merge the annotation is saved to the server (the UI is blocked until saving succeeded)
  • in order to save, a mutex is acquired from the server. afterwards, it is ensured that the client knows about the most recent version that exists on the server. potential updates are polled from the server and incorporated¹ into the client.
  • after saving succeeded, the mutex is released and the UI is unblocked.

¹ the incorporation of the update actions is not trivial, because the frontend maintains a partial mapping from segment ids to agglomerate ids. the update actions only encode which segment ids were split or merged. simply mapping the affected segment ids to their (old or new?) agglomerate ids and refreshing all segment ids that map to these agglomerate ids might not be enough, because the mapping is partial and might have changed in between.
therefore, a first iteration simply reloads all segment ids. when the rest of the pr works, we can re-think this.

URL of deployed dev instance (used for testing):

  • https://___.webknossos.xyz

Steps to test:

  • test old annotation editing
    • single-user (others may edit == false)
    • multi-user (others may edit == true)
  • test new collaborative proofreading mode

TODOs:

  • prototype with mutex acquisition within proofread saga (we don't want this in the long run for various reasons, though)
  • implement ad-hoc mutex acuisition in save process
  • implement ensureNewestVersion mechanism to avoid conflicts during saving
    • avoid theoretical infinite waiting (look for todo comment around buffers.sliding<EnsureHasNewestVersionAction>(1))
  • the active segment in proofreading is marked with a cross. this is simply the anchor position of the active segment. however, that position can be changed by other users which would disturb the current user. the proofreading "anchor" should be stored separately (doesn't necessarily need to be persisted to the server, I think)
  • Fix agglomerate mapping activation
  • Toast "This annotation is not being edited anymore and available for editing. Reload the page to see its newest version and to edit it." appears, although it shouldn't be necessary.
  • ensure eager mutex acquisition still works for non-proofreading annotations (e.g. state.save.needsMutex boolean which the sagas act on)
    • ⚠️ currently, WK switches automatically to read-only if "others may edit" is false (I always enable this option during testing for now)
    • I tested: with disabled WkDevFlags.liveCollab: The others may edit feature works just as expected.
  • write tests
    • mock versioned agglomerate handling as backend substitute
    • write tests for "conflicts" (while saving, the backend reports a newer version created by another user)
      • merge with "foreign" merge
      • merge with "foreign" split
      • split with "foreign" merge
      • split with "foreign" split
      • multiple split actions in one version
      • agglomerate skeleton syncing
      • test local split splitting segment, but "foreign" merge adds a new edge that results in the split operation not fully splitting the segments
      • To all relevant new tests with othersMayEdit = true test that after the test the user does not still have the mutex.
      • test polling / incorporating updates affecting unloaded segments
        • split: WIP
        • merge
        • Add tests testing agglomerate skeleton syncing
    • also test the case where not all segment ids might be loaded in frontend
    • fix old tests
      • old proofreading tests
      • mutex tests (should be converted from the old manual-generator-execution to a more integration style (where all sagas run)
      • volume tracing integration tests
      • Fix annotation_saga.spec.ts. Tests seem to not have enough
      • others?
  • Agglomerate Skeletons need to be reloaded in case a foreign non-skeleton proofreading action changed the agglomerate skeleton
  • fix
    • inconsistent mappings on different clients after concurrent operations
    • [backend] avoid no such vertex in graph toast if a user tries to split an agglomerate that was already split. see [slack]
      • Cannot reproduce anymore
  • Implement rebase mechanism
  • Properly apply split operation and not do a hard refresh of the mapping information.
  • Add feature flag enabling concurrent annotation editing. Should always be turned off except when developing live is live.
  • forbid that update actions are emitted (i.e., users should not be allowed to do such actions) that can NOT be incorporated by other clients. otherwise, ensureNewestVersion would never terminate and other users will wait forever when trying to save. if this code version is never used in prod, it might not matter, though.
    • alternatively, support all update actions (in the long run, the better option anyway)
  • avoid "read-only" flickering in navbar
    • refactor mayEdit state in store?
  • ensure that update action reconciliation is only done for proofreading actions (because other's are not supported yet)
    . -> is fine for now, as this will only be available via the feature flag.
  • [perf] avoid complete refresh of mapping and only refresh affected ids (with proper rebase mechanism)
  • [ ] make the new late-mutex approach opt-in (beta flag in sharing modal?)
    • [ ] discuss:IMO this only makes sense starting with milestone 4
    • [ ] disable all other tools if activated
    • [ ] disable segment list editing?
    • The state after M3 doesn't make a lot of sense. Therefore, I suggest simply turning off the live editing for now via the feature flag WkDevFlags.liveCollab
  • how to deal with outdated meshes?
    • auto-reload them? could be slow
    • mark them as stale?
  • Get rid of the "This annotation is currently being edited by someone else. To avoid conflicts, you can only view it at the moment." toast.
  • clean up
    • refactor mappings.ts code so that it reacts to all setMappingActions? see comment in updateMappingWithMerge
  • ensure backend does accept split update actions when supervoxels are already split and merge update actions when supervoxels are already merged
    • fix duplicate edge problem
  • clean up initialAllowUpdate

Known Bugs:

  • Cannot activate a mapping while othersMayEdit is turned on due to rebase mechanism not supporting updateMappingName action.
  • Rebasing is done permanently, even when othersMayEdit is turned off
  • Mapping outdates get out of sync in some cases
  • https://scm.slack.com/archives/C5AKLAV0B/p1752142208929089
    • Cannot reproduce any longer
  • Agglomerate skeleton requests are not versioned. Local mapping might be older than a loaded agglomerate skeleton.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This change introduces a mutex mechanism for annotation editing, enabling exclusive editing rights per user. It adds backend APIs for acquiring and releasing mutexes, updates the frontend to manage and display mutex state, and integrates Redux-Saga logic for continuous mutex acquisition and release. Related types and reducers are updated accordingly.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Implement mutex-based exclusive annotation editing (Milestone 3, #8724)
Integrate mutex acquisition/release in frontend and backend (Milestone 3)
Update Redux state/types for mutex status (Milestone 3)
Prepare proofreading sagas for mutex integration (Milestone 3)

Assessment against linked issues: Out-of-scope changes

Code Change (file_path) Explanation
Changed default values of debugging flags (frontend/javascripts/viewer/api/wk_dev.ts) Debugging flag changes are unrelated to mutex/proofreading objectives in #8724.
Made mag and agglomerate ID fields optional in update actions (webknossos-tracingstore/...UpdateActions.scala) These changes are for backward compatibility and not directly related to mutex or proofreading.
Updated method signatures for optional mag (webknossos-tracingstore/...EditableMappingService.scala) Not directly related to mutex or proofreading; appears to be a separate API compatibility update.

Poem

A mutex for my annotation,
Keeps my edits in one location.
With Redux and Sagas, I lock and I free,
So only one bunny can edit with glee.
Now proofreading’s safe,
No more race—
Just happy hopping in my editing space! 🐇✨

since we’re not using any info from the findOne other than whether to delete, we could merge the two into one query and just DELETE WHERE annotationId = a AND userId = u

I changed that now in 3f66d4e – note that I could not test end-to-end since the frontend isn’t ready. Let me know if this doesn’t work as expected :)

71-80: Consider optimizing the mutex release operation.

The current approach uses separate findOne and deleteOne operations. As noted in a previous review, this could be optimized into a single query that deletes only if the user owns the mutex.

Consider replacing the current implementation with a single query:

-def release(annotationId: ObjectId, userId: ObjectId): Fox[Unit] =
-  for {
-    mutex <- annotationMutexDAO.findOne(annotationId).shiftBox
-    _ <- mutex match {
-      case Full(mutex) if mutex.userId == userId =>
-        annotationMutexDAO.deleteOne(annotationId).map(_ => ())
-      case _ =>
-        Fox.successful(())
-    }
-  } yield ()
+def release(annotationId: ObjectId, userId: ObjectId): Fox[Unit] =
+  annotationMutexDAO.deleteOneByUserAndAnnotation(annotationId, userId).map(_ => ())

And add to the DAO:

def deleteOneByUserAndAnnotation(annotationId: ObjectId, userId: ObjectId): Fox[Int] =
  run(q"DELETE FROM webknossos.annotation_mutexes WHERE _annotation = $annotationId AND _user = $userId".asUpdate)

This would be more efficient and eliminate the race condition between the find and delete operations.

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/sagas/volume/proofread_saga.ts (1)

361-361: Address unused variable warnings for preparatory mutex integration.

The annotationId variables are retrieved from state but not used because the mutex calls are commented out as part of the WIP development. To address the static analysis warnings while maintaining the preparatory code, consider prefixing the variables with underscore:

-const annotationId = yield* select((state) => state.annotation.annotationId);
+const _annotationId = yield* select((state) => state.annotation.annotationId);

This clearly indicates the variables are intentionally unused in the current state while being prepared for future integration.

Also applies to: 445-446, 710-710, 796-797, 902-902, 957-958, 1142-1149

frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/sagas/saving/save_mutex_saga.tsx (2)

29-29: Use import type for type-only imports.

The static analysis correctly identifies that EnsureMaySaveNowAction is only used as a type.

-import { EnsureMaySaveNowAction } from "viewer/model/actions/save_actions";
+import type { EnsureMaySaveNowAction } from "viewer/model/actions/save_actions";

93-106: Clarify the mutex acquisition flow for late-mutex approach.

The conditional logic based on DISABLE_EAGER_MUTEX_ACQUISITION implements different mutex acquisition strategies, but the flow could be clearer.

Consider adding comments to explain:

  1. When DISABLE_EAGER_MUTEX_ACQUISITION is true, mutex is acquired only when saving (late acquisition)
  2. When false, mutex is acquired eagerly when the annotation is opened
  3. The race condition between tryAcquireMutexContinuously and DONE_SAVING ensures mutex is released after save completes

This aligns with the PR objective of implementing a "late-mutex approach" as an opt-in feature.

webknossos-tracingstore/app/com/scalableminds/webknossos/tracingstore/tracings/editablemapping/EditableMappingUpdateActions.scala (2)

14-14: Well-designed backward compatibility approach.

The conversion of agglomerateId and mag fields to Option types is a clean approach for supporting legacy update actions while maintaining type safety. The comment provides clear context for why these fields are now optional.

Also applies to: 19-19


39-40: Consistent optional field implementation.

The same backward compatibility pattern is correctly applied to MergeAgglomerateUpdateAction with both agglomerateId1 and agglomerateId2 fields becoming optional, maintaining consistency with the SplitAgglomerateUpdateAction changes.

Also applies to: 45-45

webknossos-tracingstore/app/com/scalableminds/webknossos/tracingstore/tracings/editablemapping/EditableMappingService.scala (2)

188-188: Proper method signature alignment with update actions.

The parameter change from mag: Vec3Int to magOpt: Option[Vec3Int] correctly aligns with the optional fields in the update actions, maintaining consistency across the codebase.

Also applies to: 191-191


196-196: Effective validation for optional parameters.

The validation logic properly handles the optional magOpt parameter by converting it to a Fox with a descriptive error message when required. This ensures that the method fails gracefully when mandatory data is missing while supporting the backward compatibility requirements.

Also applies to: 199-199

frontend/javascripts/test/sagas/annotation_saga.spec.ts (1)

15-15: LGTM: Import path correctly updated for refactored saga.

The import path update aligns with the refactoring where acquireAnnotationMutexMaybe was moved to a dedicated mutex saga module, improving code organization.

frontend/javascripts/viewer/store.ts (1)

149-149: LGTM: Mutex state flag properly added to Annotation type.

The isMutexAcquired boolean property is correctly defined as readonly, maintaining Redux immutability principles and providing clear state tracking for mutex management.

frontend/javascripts/viewer/default_state.ts (1)

181-181: LGTM: Appropriate default value for mutex state.

Initializing isMutexAcquired to false is the correct default since annotations start without mutex acquisition, maintaining consistency with the expected initial state.

conf/webknossos.latest.routes (1)

158-158: LGTM: Well-structured REST endpoint for mutex release.

The DELETE route for /annotations/:id/mutex correctly complements the existing POST route for mutex acquisition, following REST conventions and maintaining consistent route structure.

frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/reducers/reducer_helpers.ts (1)

159-159: LGTM: Consistent mutex flag initialization in conversion function.

Adding isMutexAcquired: false ensures that server-to-frontend annotation conversions maintain consistent object structure with the default state initialization.

frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/reducers/annotation_reducer.ts (1)

140-145: LGTM! Clean implementation of the mutex state reducer.

The new action case follows the established patterns in the file and correctly uses the updateKey helper function to maintain immutability. The implementation is consistent with other reducer cases in the file.

frontend/javascripts/admin/rest_api.ts (1)

732-736: LGTM! Clean implementation of the mutex release API.

The function follows the established patterns in the file and correctly uses the HTTP DELETE method for releasing the mutex. The implementation is consistent with the existing acquireAnnotationMutex function and integrates well with the broader mutex management feature.

frontend/javascripts/viewer/api/wk_dev.ts (1)

14-14: Good debugging setup for development.

Enabling these debug flags will help with development and troubleshooting of the new mutex functionality. The enhanced logging and version display should provide valuable insights during the WIP development phase.

Also applies to: 31-31

app/controllers/AnnotationController.scala (1)

457-463: Clean implementation of the mutex release endpoint.

The controller method follows established patterns in the codebase, uses appropriate error handling with Fox, and includes performance monitoring via logTime. The implementation is straightforward and correctly delegates to the service layer.

frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/actions/annotation_actions.ts (1)

55-55: Well-implemented action creator for mutex state management.

The new setIsMutexAcquiredAction follows established patterns in the codebase, is properly typed, and correctly integrated into the action type union. The implementation is clean and straightforward.

Also applies to: 91-91, 181-185

frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/sagas/annotation_saga.tsx (1)

2-2: Clean refactoring of mutex logic!

The relocation of mutex acquisition logic to a dedicated module improves code organization and separation of concerns.

Also applies to: 9-9, 14-17, 34-34

frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/actions/save_actions.ts (1)

29-30: Well-structured save flow control actions!

The new actions and async dispatch helper follow the established patterns in the codebase. The Deferred pattern for callback synchronization is consistent with existing implementations.

Also applies to: 43-45, 140-156

frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/sagas/saving/save_queue_draining.ts (2)

68-70: Good integration of save flow control!

The addition of dispatchEnsureMaySaveNowAsync and doneSavingAction properly coordinates save operations with mutex state.

Also applies to: 102-103


206-210: Verify the simplified 409 conflict handling behavior.

The removal of the flag and indefinite sleep simplifies the code, but may change behavior:

  • Previously, only one alert was shown due to the flag
  • The indefinite sleep prevented further save attempts
  • Now the error is thrown immediately after reload

Since multiple retries could trigger multiple alerts before the page reloads, consider if this behavior change is intentional. The immediate throw after reload seems correct as the page will be refreshed anyway.

frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/sagas/saving/save_mutex_saga.tsx (1)

104-104: Add missing yield operator.*

The call effect requires yield* to properly execute the saga.

-      if (doneSaving) {
-        yield call(releaseMutex);
-      }
+      if (doneSaving) {
+        yield* call(releaseMutex);
+      }

+    throw new Error("Could not reload HDF5 mapping because no active mapping was found.");

897-955: Good approach to API evolution with backward compatibility!

The refactoring to make agglomerateId, mag, agglomerateId1, and agglomerateId2 optional fields clearly maintains backward compatibility while simplifying the current API. The comments explaining that these fields are "unused in back-end but may exist in older update actions" provide excellent documentation for future maintainers.

frontend/javascripts/viewer/model/sagas/volume/mapping_saga.ts (1)

166-174: Clean implementation of clearActiveMapping.

The function properly creates a new empty Map and dispatches the appropriate action to clear the mapping state. This will be useful for the deferred mapping updates in save_saga.ts.

whew, I looked at everything except for the tests. kudos for pushing this PR!
it's a lot of code and parts of it are quite complex. overall, I think we should make this very tidy and at least add more docstrings to explain the gritty details. otherwise, we will be quite lost when some time has passed and we look at the code again.

Well good catch. It is actually not needed here as only the save_queue_filling.ts saga listens to this action. Thus, it is not needed in the type used for the save_reducer.ts. But could also be added here for completion sake. I'll also add a comment

I extracted the adaptToType into a helper function. Should I also extract

let upToDateAgglomerateId1 = (mappingSyncedWithBackend as NumberLikeMap).get(
    adaptToType(segmentId1),
);
let upToDateAgglomerateId2 = (mappingSyncedWithBackend as NumberLikeMap).get(
    adaptToType(segmentId2),
);

into another helper? This pattern is quite often used in this file and `proofreading_saga.ts? Maybe a mapping accessor 👀 #9001?

actually this should be a hard error, as this would mean an update was missed to update in the save queue by the rebasing mechanism. This should never occur if rebasing is done properly.

Was a hacky / bad solution to avoid updating the mapping data snapshot used for rebasings. isUnsyncedWithServer was true in case of a optimistic merge.

Now this is refactored in a better way :D
The SET_MAPPING action is no longer used to snapshot the mapping for rebasing. Instead, the SNAPSHOT_MAPPING_DATA_FOR_NEXT_REBASE_ACTION action should be triggered after each mapping update that does not include user-specific modifications caused by optimistic updates of proofreading actions (which is merge only I guess).
This makes it more explicit and hopefully less confusing, as no isUnsyncedWithServer is needed. Instead, the snapshotMappingDataForNextRebaseAction action can be deliberately left away when updating a mapping, and this change is not yet in sync with the backend.

The only downside I can see in this approach is that one needs to remember to also trigger snapshotMappingDataForNextRebaseAction after updating the mapping in case the changes is in sync with whats on the server :)

Yeah you are right, this needs better save guarding than the current version 👍. Thanks for pointing this out 🙏

WK "freezes"

Do you mean I should set it to a busy state? During saving the ui is only busy when pushing proofreading update actions. Else not. We could use this here to ensure that the user does not interfere in such an error case

some time passes and eventually the mutex is acquired and everything is fine

For this the code pushing the actual updates needs also guarding as while being stuck in sending updates in multiple requests or while rebasing the connection to the server could be lost. Thus, the update requests could fail and the user no longer has the mutex. so maybe guarding the sendSaveRequestToServer calls with a check whether the current user has the mutex would be a good thing 🤔?

// Therefore, we also print the error in the test context.
console.error("Error while trying to acquire mutex:", error);
}
// todop: I think this needs to happen in a finally block?

This is a comment left by you. I don't know why this would be moved to the finally block. Because if everything wents well and the user acquires the mutex, the finally block would still be executed meaning

const wasCanceled = yield* cancelled();
      console.log("wasCanceled", wasCanceled);
      if (!wasCanceled) {
        console.error("Error while trying to acquire mutex.", error);
        yield* put(setUserHoldingMutexAction(undefined));
        yield* put(setIsUpdatingAnnotationCurrentlyAllowedAction(false));
        if (yield* call(getDoesHaveMutex)) {
          yield* put(setIsMutexAcquiredAction(false));
        }
      }

would be executed and the store state would always in every loop iteration be reset to "I don't have the mutex". And this should be wrong imo.
