feat: add Convex collections with local live queries and transactions - #2230
TanStack DB provides a unified frontend for your backend data. This PR adds @tanstack/convex-db-collection, bringing Convex subscriptions into the same Collection and query APIs as REST APIs, other databases, and local state. Join data across those sources in a local live query, while each source keeps its existing backend.
Load common data once and reuse it across your UI. Build lists, joins, filters, and summaries from shared Collections. Once DB has the required rows, new views can render without another backend round trip. DB incrementally maintains those views as source data and optimistic changes arrive.
Keep your existing Convex backend, generated API, authentication, and server functions. Use either ConvexClient or ConvexReactClient.
Capability
What an existing Convex application gains
Unified frontend
Join Convex data with REST API results, other databases, and local state through the same Collection and query APIs.
Local live queries
Reuse subscribed rows across many UI views, including joins, ordering, and aggregates.
Optimistic transactions
Group changes across Collections, update dependent views, and persist many backend rows through one application command. Supported in all six frameworks.
Durable offline actions
Optionally retain pending writes through reloads and restore their optimistic changes.
Lazy pagination
Load pages as ordered DB windows need them, and keep loaded pages live through Convex subscriptions.
Join Convex and API data, then reuse it across views
A project screen can join live Convex tasks with user profiles from a REST API. Query Collections connect existing HTTP endpoints through TanStack Query. The endpoint below returns users with id and name fields, and each task's assigneeId matches a user's id.
These examples share your existing Convex client, TanStack Query queryClient, generated api, and projectId. The later projects Collection uses that same Convex client.
import{createCollection,createLiveQueryCollection,eq}from'@tanstack/db'import{convexCollectionOptions}from'@tanstack/convex-db-collection'import{queryCollectionOptions}from'@tanstack/query-db-collection'consttasks=createCollection(convexCollectionOptions({
client,query: api.tasks.list,queryArgs: { projectId },getKey: (task)=>task._id,}),)constusers=createCollection(queryCollectionOptions({
queryClient,queryKey: ['project-users',projectId],queryFn: async({ signal }): Promise<Array<{id: string;name: string}>>=>{constresponse=awaitfetch(`/api/users?projectId=${encodeURIComponent(projectId)}`,{ signal },)if(!response.ok)thrownewError('Could not load users')returnresponse.json()},getKey: (user)=>user.id,}),)constopenTasks=createLiveQueryCollection((q)=>q.from({task: tasks}).join({user: users},({ task, user })=>eq(task.assigneeId,user.id),).where(({ task })=>eq(task.completed,false)).select(({ task, user })=>({id: task._id,title: task.title,assignee: user.name,})),)awaitopenTasks.preload()
The join runs in the frontend. Convex subscriptions update tasks, and TanStack Query refreshes user profiles through its normal cache and refetch behavior. DB incrementally updates the joined result when either Collection changes. The user profiles can remain in their existing service, with no copy into Convex required for this join.
The same Collections can supply an assignee dashboard, project summaries, and count badges. New views over available rows need no additional server function. The same query API also works with Collections from other DB adapters and with local application state.
Convex already caches matching server queries, and applications can already derive local views with JavaScript. DB supplies an incremental relational engine and shared mutation model for that pattern. Replacing distinct server-maintained views with local queries can reduce backend work. The workload determines the compute, transfer, and memory tradeoffs. Convex still defines which source rows the client can receive.
Run whole user actions as optimistic transactions
One DB action can insert, update, and delete rows across Collections with different row shapes. Those changes feed every dependent DB view. Its persistence function receives the complete transaction.mutations list or can send the original business intent.
This command completes several selected open tasks and updates their project summary. Its input contains distinct task IDs.
The task list, assignee views, and summaries update from the same optimistic transaction. The server's completeBatch mutation enforces authorization and updates all task documents and the project summary in one atomic Convex transaction. DB rolls back the optimistic changes if the action rejects.
Optimistic mutations and transactions work across all six supported DB frameworks: React, Vue, Angular, Solid, Svelte, and Preact. The same Collection mutation and action APIs drive local queries across these frameworks.
Convex already supplies server transactions and React's opt-in .withOptimisticUpdate() API for cached query results. DB adds Collection transactions and dependent local queries with either SDK client, including the simpler ConvexClient, which lacks native optimistic mutation updates. DB actions and Convex server actions are separate APIs.
awaitSync() waits for source acceptance after the same client's Convex mutation resolves. This keeps optimistic changes until DB accepts the confirmed source data. Use one Convex mutation for atomic backend batches. Separate mutation calls and writes to unrelated backends retain their own commit boundaries.
Keep pending actions through a reload
The optional integration with @tanstack/offline-transactions records pending work durably, restores its optimistic changes after reload, and replays named mutation functions. Configure an executor with durable storage, convexMutationCodec, and a named completeTasks function registered through convexOfflineMutation for both affected Collections.
The registered mutation must include the complete batch and deduplicate its idempotency key atomically with its writes. Apply authorization before returning a saved receipt. The optional codec preserves Convex BigInt, binary data, special floats, and deleted fields. Existing outbox records keep their default format.
Convex already handles connection interruptions and retries outstanding mutations. This integration adds durable pending work across client reloads. The outbox stores pending writes, so offline reads after a reload require separate Collection persistence. Optimistic inserts need a stable application key such as clientId, because Convex assigns _id on the server. See the durable writes guide for setup and the server receipt contract.
Load pages as needed with lazy pagination
convexPaginatedCollectionOptions supports both a complete eager mirror and syncMode: 'on-demand'. Lazy mode acquires pages as ordered DB windows need them. Loaded ranges remain subscribed to Convex updates.
The local index uses DB's existing indexing API. Convex already offers paginated queries that stay live. This integration exposes the loaded rows as a Collection and connects page acquisition to DB query demand.
Lazy mode supports one fixed server query with a declared finite numeric leading order. Put source filters in that query's arguments. Offset windows acquire the preceding prefix, and boundary ties can load extra rows. Loaded ranges remain subscribed until cleanup. General DB predicate translation, a fixed memory budget, and bounded response bytes are outside this contract. The Convex guide explains server limits, maxRows, eager mode, and lifecycle behavior.
🔬 Oracle Coverage
The coverage map identifies the owners and their limits. Independent models cover snapshots, option ownership, reactive pagination, offline replay, native values, and shared serialization. Lazy-paging models describe authored source relations, coverage, optimistic operations, and application receipts without copying production's page chain or queue.
Law: Public windows must have a coherent source/optimistic explanation. Successful subset loads owe their establishing application receipts. Confirmed application writes reach the backend, rejected atomic writes roll back, and retired callbacks cannot corrupt later work. The records below link authorities and precise observation checkpoints.
Reach: The initial five lazy families reach every declared state in 60 histories per fixed/random campaign. The application-write receiver reaches all 14 states in four histories per campaign, or twelve with its deeper budget. Both real SDK clients receive every application history. The shared run multiplier also doubles outcome/abort reach from 30 to 60 histories per state per campaign.
RED: The original eager implementation fails the new lazy work contract with no demand. Extended histories exposed unbounded split children, stranded duplicate requests, and incorrect receipt waits before their corrections. Later receiving additions passed unchanged production and claim calibration failures, with no new product-defect RED.
GREEN: Recorded integration validation passes 112 package cases across 21 files, 23 actual backend cases across eight files, and four React receiving cases. Shared offline validation passes 302 cases. These are runner cases, not counts of independent oracle owners.
Mutants: Eager startup, missing boundary ties, skipped establishing receipts, obsolete SDK callbacks, and misdirected backend keys fail semantic comparisons. Recorded failures shrink and reproduce through direct replay. Exact source restoration gives GREEN replays.
Limits: Campaigns are finite and bounded. The application receiver uses one pending app operation, one source, unique ascending ranks, and responsive schedules. Backend crash histories use a single leader. Cloud infrastructure, browser storage power loss, arbitrary cross-source atomic publication, multi-tab/batch crash replay, and generalized schema normalization retain separate owners.
Related: #2269 motivated stronger application-write, failure-equivalence, and abort/replay receivers. This PR does not implement that issue's public cross-adapter conformance kit.
Review evidence, validation commands, and upstream applications
Each record preserves its reviewed source revision, law, grammar, reach, calibration, replay, and limits. Later integration records preserve earlier evidence bindings.
The backend suite uses Convex 1.47.0 with isolated local deployments. It deploys pinned official pagination demo functions and the role-based auth application. The auth fixture replaces its external providers with Convex Auth's Anonymous provider. Real JWTs exercise all six role/action permission cells and demotion through both SDK clients. The upstream self-service role selector remains present, so the fixture does not establish secure role administration. OAuth delivery, browser auth UI, token refresh, and authenticated reconnect are outside these observations.
Pagination receivers cover indexed arguments, transformed rows, live writes, and real TCP loss while another client writes. Crash receivers compare restored Collection fields, an independent application counter, final server rows, and the exact receipt key. A separate startup witness occupies a formerly assumed port and requires the CLI to allocate another. The auth dependency update uses Convex Auth 0.0.96 and Auth.js 0.41.3 within the published peer range. See the public app, startup, and dependency records.
The adapter reuses the snapshot writer, page chain, core sync machinery, and existing durable executor. Initial eager loading defers row flattening until the result is complete. Cursor-cache inspection still grows quadratically with page count during sequential acquisition. The linked size records measure the added subscription, coverage, receipt, and codec machinery at their exact revisions. Existing application bundle scenarios did not change in those measurements.
Run the package and receiving suites from the repository root:
Build, typecheck, lint, formatting, packaging, and deeper campaign results remain in the versioned records. The latest typing follow-up reports all 769 documentation examples against the existing baseline: zero new failures, with 276 known failures. This description's code examples also pass separate TypeScript compilation against the current adapter and public dependency types.
✅ Checklist
Tested affected packages locally, including the package suites, real backend receivers, and React receiving path recorded above.

I reviewed head 4f97ab4 against the oracle rubric and ran the 43 adapter checks, 51 serializer-oracle tests, and seven real-backend tests. They pass, but I found one reproducible contract failure and several gaps in what the oracles establish.
Source acceptance is the blocking issue.awaitSync() in packages/convex-db-collection/src/options.ts:154–168,211–213 can resolve while the Collection is idle, waiting for its first result, or in error after subscription startup fails. I called convexOfflineMutation with a real idle Collection and a resolving mutation; the bridge returned while the Collection remained idle with zero subscriptions. This contradicts the guide’s promise that the bridge waits for each configured Collection to accept its source snapshot. The backend fixture preloads before starting the executor, while the offline oracle stubs awaitSync, so both miss cold replay. Please add a real-Collection bridge history for idle, pending-first-result, and failed-startup states, then make successful settlement require actual source acceptance.
The pagination API has a separate scalability question.convexPaginatedCollectionOptions follows every cursor, retains the page subscriptions, and materializes the entire result before preload() completes. pageSize controls request chunks; it does not bound client memory or initial load time. The coverage map also records quadratic cache scans as page count grows. I understand why a complete mirror supports arbitrary DB-local filters and joins, and why fixed cursor ranges help reactive correctness. I do not see a reason that this should be the only pagination mode.
I suggest describing the current API explicitly as a complete eager mirror and offering an on-demand option through DB’s existing loadSubset contract. Core already supplies cursor-aware subset requests (#960); Query Collection’s opaque-cursor pager in #1824 is a useful design and oracle reference. Its Query cache implementation would not transfer directly to Convex subscriptions, but it shows how to fetch only the pages needed for a requested window, reuse a loaded prefix, and distinguish a backend cursor from DB’s query cursor hints. The Convex option would need an application-supplied translation for filters and ordering, and should reject requests its server function cannot fulfill. An oracle should compare requested windows, network work, active subscriptions, and release behavior as demand grows and shrinks.
The pagination oracle also needs stronger evidence:
tests/pagination-oracle.property.test.ts:85–106 can generate a split cursor outside the returned page’s cursor range. For eight rows and pageSize: 1, it can return continueCursor: "0" with splitCursor: "3". Those are not legal Convex split responses.
Its two properties share CONVEX_ORACLE_SEED/PATH. Replaying a recorded row-history path passes that property but fails the unrelated work property with Unable to replay, got wrong path. Each property needs a direct replay selector.
It compares only after all ranges arrive and sorts actual and expected rows by ID. It therefore cannot catch partial publication while a new page is pending or a page-order error. Please add an intermediate public-row checkpoint and an order-sensitive observation.
The real-backend crash test reaches a valuable SIGKILL cut, but e2e/backend-oracle.test.ts:259–281 checks one receipt and final rows. The fixture’s insert, patch, and delete have the same visible result if applied twice, so those assertions do not prove one server application. The test also does not compare the receipt’s key with the durable key. In e2e/offline-child.ts:171–181, restored Collection rows are checked only by text; rank and native payload are checked on the server, not in the Collection. A non-idempotent application counter, key comparison, and full public-row comparison would make the stated claims distinguishable. Native payload variation currently reaches real-backend replay only for inserts.
Finally, the snapshot oracle exercises raw arrays but not a successful select projection, and the ownership oracle’s controlled client cannot establish live updates to two listeners after one sibling is cleaned up. These can remain stated limits, but the broader claims should wait for receiving witnesses. I also could not find the rubric’s exact-head review record for the new oracle owners.
I would address the source-acceptance failure before merge and make an explicit API decision about bounded eager use versus on-demand loading.

Retain typed keys and every pagination observation, exercise later source
acceptance rejection, and preserve independently captured codec operands.
Enforce separate fixed/random reach and direct replay, including backend
acknowledgement cuts. Clarify that the adapter currently uses eager sync.
Law: complete keyed snapshots, terminal source rejection until restart, and
durable operand preservation follow the existing public collection and
offline transaction guides. No production implementation changes.
Reach: snapshot 150/state/lane; ownership, pagination and offline 60/state/lane;
codec 60 and Convex values 100 histories/lane; 36 actual backend crash histories.
RED: the repaired owners reject five previously surviving wrong designs,
adjacent threshold/stale/delete-key variants, and in-place original corruption
at intended comparisons. Unchanged production has no baseline RED to repair.
GREEN: 64 adapter, 302 offline, 7 helper and 18 real-backend tests pass; the
final captured-original follow-up passes 51 serializer tests and Convex values.
Offline typecheck/build, configured ESLint and required oracle lint pass.
Mutant: private stringification, prefix/stale publication, adjacent default
caps, conditional terminality and operand-routing/corruption edits rejected;
restored direct replays pass. Omitted uncertain histories fail declared reach.
Limits: bounded eager queries and controlled source revisions; receiving
completeness does not establish all scheduling, native fault or cloud laws.

Each row aggregates the 14.4 scale/index/write-mode configurations of that query; per-configuration tables below.
Runner: node v24.8.0, linux 6.17.0-1022-azure, AMD EPYC 7763 64-Core Processor. Timings on shared CI runners are noisy; treat small deltas as indicative only.
Fix relative app imports in the doc checker using import-specifier rewriting, retain real dependency types, and remove three baseline entries that now pass. Complete the Convex insert example and retain generated query row types. Give the expanded fixed/random campaigns 30 seconds under CI coverage without reducing their histories or comparisons.
Validation: 767 doc examples, zero new failures; 64 adapter checks; 302 offline tests; 18 real-backend tests; adapter typecheck and build; lint:changed and configured ESLint. Published runtime sources are unchanged.
Implement fixed-query lazy paging through syncMode on-demand, retaining exact
coverage, applied-receipt settlement and obsolete-callback fencing. Add
independent models and generated receivers for ownership, optimistic app
writes, backend truth, failure equivalence and replay noninterference.
Law: fixed-query coverage and publication, LoadSubsetFn/SyncAppliedReceipt,
optimistic settlement, and the maintainer decision in issue #2269. Versioned
law, authority and source bindings are in docs/contributing/oracle-reviews/.
Reach: fixed/random campaigns enforce all declared states; final app deep
campaigns reach all 14 states in 12 histories each, and outcome/abort deep
campaigns reach every state in 90 histories each.
RED: the recorded pre-repair ownership history rejects a retired native error
callback at seed 20261027, path 0:0:0. Later coverage additions pass unchanged
production and do not claim a new product-defect RED.
GREEN: 112 package cases, 23 actual-backend cases, deeper campaigns, types,
ESLint, formatting, oracle lint and diff checks pass.
Mutant: final calibration rejects early handler settlement, swallowed sync
throw, active retired subscription and a misdirected backend write; shrunk
failures replay and pass after exact restoration.
Limits: bounded fixed-query histories; zero-acceptance cancellable abort is
covered, while prospective immediate core abort for uncooperative adapters
remains #2168 integration. Final review is self-review. No new TLA+ run.
Keep the local baseline-browser-mapping override and lockfile workaround out
of this commit. Preserve earlier frozen evidence and versioned review records.
Preserve incoming main merges and both DB oracle command lists. Scale new
campaigns with the shared oracleRuns multiplier, retaining normal budgets,
direct replay selectors and the lazy profile's existing deep-run multiplier.
Keep Convex production, scientific models and comparisons unchanged.
Type the lazy-paging guide's server-query reference explicitly and resolve
provider types beside the documented adapter in the snippet checker.
Validation: rebuilt DB and React; 112 Convex package cases, 23 actual backend
cases, core joint replay, four React receiving cases, doubled reach under the
shared multiplier, oracle lint, affected ESLint and formatting pass. The
changed Convex snippet passes. The full doc sweep reproduces six unchanged
incoming PowerSync failures and one stale Svelte baseline entry in this local
dependency environment; no baseline expansion hides them.
Versioned source bindings, limits and integration results are recorded in
2026-10-27-convex-push-integration.md. Earlier law/RED/GREEN/mutant evidence
remains bound to its original sources. Local pnpm workaround stays excluded.

prefix after an ineligible insert, passes under it.
#2230 changes no @tanstack/db production code. Evidence: the ordered-work,
joint-replay, oracle-campaign, and oracle-replay files pass (343 tests).

#2230 adds Convex collections with their oracles. Their oracle files now meet
oracle/no-unit-test: the companion model modules declare their models and
checks, two inline comparisons become declared parts (stepModel in the auth
app oracle, expectMirrorsAllTasks in the backend oracle), and tests that
compare with written values move unchanged to ordinary siblings
(pagination.test.ts, lazy-paging.test.ts, e2e/backend.test.ts, and
e2e/backend-startup.test.ts). The 88 test registrations equal main's. The
coverage map marks the fixed tests as having no oracle owner (#2264).
The transaction-serializer oracle keeps this branch's declaration and main's
new campaign helpers and FakeStorageAdapter import. The db test:oracles script
keeps main's new oracle and drops this branch's demoted files.

🎯 Changes
TanStack DB provides a unified frontend for your backend data. This PR adds
@tanstack/convex-db-collection, bringing Convex subscriptions into the same Collection and query APIs as REST APIs, other databases, and local state. Join data across those sources in a local live query, while each source keeps its existing backend.Load common data once and reuse it across your UI. Build lists, joins, filters, and summaries from shared Collections. Once DB has the required rows, new views can render without another backend round trip. DB incrementally maintains those views as source data and optimistic changes arrive.
Keep your existing Convex backend, generated API, authentication, and server functions. Use either
ConvexClientorConvexReactClient.Join Convex and API data, then reuse it across views
A project screen can join live Convex tasks with user profiles from a REST API. Query Collections connect existing HTTP endpoints through TanStack Query. The endpoint below returns users with
idandnamefields, and each task'sassigneeIdmatches a user'sid.These examples share your existing Convex
client, TanStack QueryqueryClient, generatedapi, andprojectId. The laterprojectsCollection uses that same Convex client.The join runs in the frontend. Convex subscriptions update tasks, and TanStack Query refreshes user profiles through its normal cache and refetch behavior. DB incrementally updates the joined result when either Collection changes. The user profiles can remain in their existing service, with no copy into Convex required for this join.
The same Collections can supply an assignee dashboard, project summaries, and count badges. New views over available rows need no additional server function. The same query API also works with Collections from other DB adapters and with local application state.
Convex already caches matching server queries, and applications can already derive local views with JavaScript. DB supplies an incremental relational engine and shared mutation model for that pattern. Replacing distinct server-maintained views with local queries can reduce backend work. The workload determines the compute, transfer, and memory tradeoffs. Convex still defines which source rows the client can receive.
Run whole user actions as optimistic transactions
One DB action can insert, update, and delete rows across Collections with different row shapes. Those changes feed every dependent DB view. Its persistence function receives the complete
transaction.mutationslist or can send the original business intent.This command completes several selected open tasks and updates their project summary. Its input contains distinct task IDs.
The task list, assignee views, and summaries update from the same optimistic transaction. The server's
completeBatchmutation enforces authorization and updates all task documents and the project summary in one atomic Convex transaction. DB rolls back the optimistic changes if the action rejects.Optimistic mutations and transactions work across all six supported DB frameworks: React, Vue, Angular, Solid, Svelte, and Preact. The same Collection mutation and action APIs drive local queries across these frameworks.
Convex already supplies server transactions and React's opt-in
.withOptimisticUpdate()API for cached query results. DB adds Collection transactions and dependent local queries with either SDK client, including the simplerConvexClient, which lacks native optimistic mutation updates. DB actions and Convex server actions are separate APIs.awaitSync()waits for source acceptance after the same client's Convex mutation resolves. This keeps optimistic changes until DB accepts the confirmed source data. Use one Convex mutation for atomic backend batches. Separate mutation calls and writes to unrelated backends retain their own commit boundaries.Keep pending actions through a reload
The optional integration with
@tanstack/offline-transactionsrecords pending work durably, restores its optimistic changes after reload, and replays named mutation functions. Configure an executor with durable storage,convexMutationCodec, and a namedcompleteTasksfunction registered throughconvexOfflineMutationfor both affected Collections.The registered mutation must include the complete batch and deduplicate its idempotency key atomically with its writes. Apply authorization before returning a saved receipt. The optional codec preserves Convex BigInt, binary data, special floats, and deleted fields. Existing outbox records keep their default format.
Convex already handles connection interruptions and retries outstanding mutations. This integration adds durable pending work across client reloads. The outbox stores pending writes, so offline reads after a reload require separate Collection persistence. Optimistic inserts need a stable application key such as
clientId, because Convex assigns_idon the server. See the durable writes guide for setup and the server receipt contract.Load pages as needed with lazy pagination
convexPaginatedCollectionOptionssupports both a complete eager mirror andsyncMode: 'on-demand'. Lazy mode acquires pages as ordered DB windows need them. Loaded ranges remain subscribed to Convex updates.The local index uses DB's existing indexing API. Convex already offers paginated queries that stay live. This integration exposes the loaded rows as a Collection and connects page acquisition to DB query demand.
Lazy mode supports one fixed server query with a declared finite numeric leading order. Put source filters in that query's arguments. Offset windows acquire the preceding prefix, and boundary ties can load extra rows. Loaded ranges remain subscribed until cleanup. General DB predicate translation, a fixed memory budget, and bounded response bytes are outside this contract. The Convex guide explains server limits,
maxRows, eager mode, and lifecycle behavior.🔬 Oracle Coverage
The coverage map identifies the owners and their limits. Independent models cover snapshots, option ownership, reactive pagination, offline replay, native values, and shared serialization. Lazy-paging models describe authored source relations, coverage, optimistic operations, and application receipts without copying production's page chain or queue.
Related: #2269 motivated stronger application-write, failure-equivalence, and abort/replay receivers. This PR does not implement that issue's public cross-adapter conformance kit.
Review evidence, validation commands, and upstream applications
Each record preserves its reviewed source revision, law, grammar, reach, calibration, replay, and limits. Later integration records preserve earlier evidence bindings.
The backend suite uses Convex 1.47.0 with isolated local deployments. It deploys pinned official pagination demo functions and the role-based auth application. The auth fixture replaces its external providers with Convex Auth's Anonymous provider. Real JWTs exercise all six role/action permission cells and demotion through both SDK clients. The upstream self-service role selector remains present, so the fixture does not establish secure role administration. OAuth delivery, browser auth UI, token refresh, and authenticated reconnect are outside these observations.
Pagination receivers cover indexed arguments, transformed rows, live writes, and real TCP loss while another client writes. Crash receivers compare restored Collection fields, an independent application counter, final server rows, and the exact receipt key. A separate startup witness occupies a formerly assumed port and requires the CLI to allocate another. The auth dependency update uses Convex Auth 0.0.96 and Auth.js 0.41.3 within the published peer range. See the public app, startup, and dependency records.
The adapter reuses the snapshot writer, page chain, core sync machinery, and existing durable executor. Initial eager loading defers row flattening until the result is complete. Cursor-cache inspection still grows quadratically with page count during sequential acquisition. The linked size records measure the added subscription, coverage, receipt, and codec machinery at their exact revisions. Existing application bundle scenarios did not change in those measurements.
Run the package and receiving suites from the repository root:
Build, typecheck, lint, formatting, packaging, and deeper campaign results remain in the versioned records. The latest typing follow-up reports all 769 documentation examples against the existing baseline: zero new failures, with 276 known failures. This description's code examples also pass separate TypeScript compilation against the current adapter and public dependency types.
