…anup (#888) Recursive storage cleanup discovered nested subtrees via find_subtrees and cleared their primary namespaces, but a nested indexed-tree primary's per-axis secondary namespaces live at Blake3(prefix ‖ axis_tag) — outside the path-prefix walk — and were orphaned by: - full-batch DeleteTree cleanup, - partial-batch DeleteTree cleanup, - the batch cidx safe-subset overwrite cleanup, - the dedicated indexed-tree child overwrite. Prefixes are path-derived, so recreating the same path resurrected the stale secondary rows and broke primary-secondary agreement (reads named primary entries that no longer exist). Extract the direct delete's per-descendant sweep (which was already correct) into one shared routine, GroveDb::clear_subtree_storage_recursively, that clears every discovered subtree's primary namespace plus all three axis secondary namespaces, and use it from all six call sites (delete v0/v1 keep their exact cost sequence). Indexed trees are GROVE_V4-era and the sweep is idempotent on empty namespaces, matching the ungated precedent of the existing sweeps (#657/#732/#773).

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds shared recursive storage cleanup for primary subtrees and all indexed secondary namespaces. Batch deletion, batch overwrite, versioned deletion, and dedicated indexed-tree cleanup now use this helper. New tests cover nested indexes, path reuse, and verification.

251-273: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winExtract the per-axis secondary cleanup into one shared helper.
The recursive cleanup and the four top-level sweeps use the same prefix derivation,
StorageBatch, transaction, cost propagation, andError::CorruptedDatahandling. Extract the axis loop into a helper that acceptsprimary_prefix,batch,transaction, and the caller context. Call it from all five sites and preserve caller-specific error context. This reduces future axis-list changes to one location.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Preserve the existing secondary clear behavior for V4 and later, skip it for

verify both accurate OperationCost and unchanged state after batch failure.

Fixes #888 ([audit][M005]).
Problem
Recursive storage cleanup discovers nested subtrees via
find_subtreesand clears their primary namespaces — but a nested indexed-tree primary (PCIT / PSIT / PCPSIT) also owns per-axis secondary namespaces atBlake3(prefix ‖ axis_tag), which live outside the path-derived prefix space and are invisible to the walk. Four recursive cleanup routes cleared only what the walk could see and orphaned any nested primary's secondaries:DeleteTreecleanup (apply_batch_with_element_flags_update),DeleteTreecleanup (apply_partial_batch_with_element_flags_update),cleanup_dedicated_indexed_child_storage).The direct delete (
delete_internal_on_transactionv0/v1) already swept secondaries per descendant — issue #888's "expected control".Because prefixes are path-derived, recreating the same deterministic path after such a cleanup resurrects the stale secondary rows inside the new tree: reads then name primary entries that no longer exist (
CorruptedData: primary entry named by a secondary row is missing) and primary-secondary agreement is broken. Reproduced for all four routes (see tests — each failed before the fix).Fix
One recursive ownership-cleanup routine, per the issue's fix direction:
GroveDb::clear_subtree_storage_recursively(inoperations/auxiliary.rs, next tofind_subtrees) clears, for every subtree discovered by the walk, its primary namespace and all three axis secondary namespaces. All recursive cleanup call sites now use it:The batch overwrite pass's separate top-level secondary sweep is folded in (the walk includes the root path itself); the
DontCheckWithNoCleanupper-primary sweep is unchanged since no recursive clear runs there.Sweeping all three axes whenever secondary cleanup is enabled (rather than decoding each subtree's element) matches the existing sweeps' rationale: clear on an empty namespace is a no-op, and it removes a class of missed-decoding bugs — cleanup of a corrupt element still clears every axis.
Versioning: Full and partial batch
DeleteTreeuse the newapply_batch.delete_tree_recursive_secondary_cleanupfeature slot:0on GROVE_V1–V3 preserves primary-only recursion and the existing top-level secondary pass;1on GROVE_V4 enables per-descendant secondary sweeps. Even empty sweeps charge seeks, boundary reads, and prefix hashes, so ordinary-tree deletion must retain its historical costs. Direct deletion keeps its existing recursive secondary sweep on every version. Indexed overwrite cleanup remains enabled.Tests

The existing V3/V4 plain-batch cost test now separately checks classification-cost parity with the cleanup gate disabled and the extra cleanup cost enabled in V4.Out of scope, per the issue: flat-drop (#849) has its own explicit reclamation contract; the v2 backward-references flow already fail-closes on specialized/indexed descendants.
