Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds connection-aware notebook export and import flows, including import-file previews and optional credential transfer. It also serializes notebook writes per file to prevent concurrent read-modify-write conflicts.

Changes

Notebook transfer and persistence

Layer / File(s) Summary
Import preview contract and IPC
src/types/notebooks.ts, src/types/ipc.ts, src/main/services/notebooks.service.ts, src/main/ipcHandlers/notebooks.ipcHandlers.ts, src/renderer/services/notebooks.service.ts
Adds NotebookImportPreview and the notebooks:peekImportFile IPC path. The main service validates file size, JSON content, notebook format, and embedded connection metadata.
Serialized notebook writes
src/main/services/notebooks.service.ts
Serializes updateNotebook and updateCellOutput operations by notebook path.
Export confirmation and connection resolution
src/renderer/components/notebook/ExportNotebookDialog.tsx, src/renderer/components/notebook/NotebookEditor.tsx, src/renderer/screens/notebooks/index.tsx, src/renderer/utils/notebookConnectionTransfer.ts
Adds export confirmation dialogs, fresh disk reads, optional credential resolution, connection metadata, and output-stripped JSON exports.
Connection-aware notebook import
src/renderer/components/notebook/ImportConnectionDialog.tsx, src/renderer/controllers/connectors.controller.ts, src/renderer/controllers/notebooks.controller.ts, src/renderer/screens/notebooks/index.tsx, src/renderer/utils/notebookConnectionTransfer.ts
Adds file preview before import, optional embedded connection creation, unique connection naming, credential storage, and import into the selected target connection.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6522f

Notebook import and export can leave partial connections, omit recent edits, or overwrite concurrent changes; oversized previews can also exhaust application memory. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Protect the final runAllCells read-modify-write. A concurrent updateNotebook or updateCellOutput can run between the final getNotebook and writeNotebookFile, so the stale updatedNotebook can overwrite that edit. Wrap this final read, timestamp update, and write in withNotebookWriteLock; do not wrap the full method because runCell acquires the same lock through updateCellOutput.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject oversized files before fs.readFile.

The size check runs only after fs.readFile allocates the complete file. A user can select a multi-gigabyte file, which can exhaust main-process memory before this method rejects it. Check the file size before reading its contents.

Flush pending cell saves before both export reads.

NotebookEditor delays useUpdateNotebook().mutate for 500 ms. Both getNotebook and listNotebooks read notebook files from disk, so an export started during this delay can omit the latest in-memory cell content. Expose one async flush barrier for the active NotebookEditor, await the completed mutateAsync save, and use it in both handleExportConfirm and handleExportAllNotebooksConfirm.

Rollback the saved connection and its credentials when credential storage fails.

saveConnection persists finalConnection before storeImportedConnectionCredentials performs sequential secure-storage writes. If a write fails, notebook import stops and a retry selects an (Imported) name. connectorsServices.deleteConnection(id) alone is insufficient because its cleanup uses the connection ID, while these credentials use the connection name. Delete the partially written name-based credentials and the saved connection together, or provide a main-process operation that performs both atomically.
