Store per-step branching conditions, validate branch targets, and select campaign contact steps by following the flow graph. Preserve linear progression for steps without branch conditions.
Root cause for the 10-min auto-logout (confirmed via pg_stat_activity):
the postgres pool MaxConns was 4, and four repository functions opened
a tx without committing or rolling back. After four calls each leaked
a connection in "idle in transaction" state. Once all four were gone
the pool was permanently exhausted — every new request that needed a
connection blocked until the client gave up. The 10-min trigger is
because that's when the first /auth/refresh fires; refresh tries to
acquire a connection, hangs, eventually the browser aborts the request,
the frontend treats the failure as session expiry, kicks the user.
The four leaking sites:
- emailRepository.Search (drove the leak — Accounts page)
- campaignRepository.Search
- sequenceRepository.Create
- contactRepository.BulkUpdate
Each now has `defer tx.Rollback(ctx)` immediately after Begin, matching
the pattern used in the non-leaky sites in the same files. Rollback is
a no-op after Commit, so this is safe for both read-only tx (Search)
and read-write tx (Create / BulkUpdate).
Additional hardening so a future leak can't silently brick the backend:
- MaxConns 4 → 25. 4 was reckless even without leaks; one bursty
admin page would saturate. 25 is still well under postgres'
default max_connections=100.
- MinConns 0 → 2. Keep a couple of warm connections at idle so the
first request after a quiet period doesn't pay the connect cost.
- idle_in_transaction_session_timeout=300000 (5 min) as a session
RuntimeParam. If a code path forgets the defer, postgres aborts
the leaked tx after 5 min and reclaims the connection.
- statement_timeout=60000 (60 s) as a session RuntimeParam.
Statement runaway can't pin a connection forever.
Verified after backend restart:
SELECT count(*) FROM pg_stat_activity
WHERE datname='warmbly_dev' AND state='idle in transaction';
→ 0
