release(v0.8.7): MULTI queues every command, and teardown stops sweeping

[TinDang97]

Release commit for v0.8.7. Version bump, CHANGELOG section cut, RELEASES.md ledger row, README version table.

Five merged PRs closing six issues since v0.8.6 (same day).

Correctness

• Every blocking pop invalidated nothing (CLIENT TRACKING: every blocking pop (BLPOP/BRPOP/BLMPOP/BZPOPMIN/BZMPOP/BLMOVE/BRPOPLPUSH) invalidates nothing — client-side caches go permanently stale #644/Consistency suite's tracking/BLMOVE probes use un-tagged keys, so #583's movablekeys invalidation is untested at shards>=2 #637, PR fix(tracking): blocking pops must invalidate the key they served (#644) #646). try_handle_blocking serves the keyspace-modifying half of BLPOP/BRPOP/BLMPOP/BZPOPMIN/BZPOPMAX/BZMPOP/BLMOVE/BRPOPLPUSH and pushes its own reply — and it was the one write path with no invalidate_after_write call, which is hand-copied at twelve other sites. A RESP3 client with CLIENT TRACKING ON that cached a list and had BLPOP drain it served the stale value forever.
• Eight command families executed at queue time inside MULTI (MULTI queueing bypass: 8 command families execute inline instead of queueing (CONFIG SET / CLIENT SETNAME / SCRIPT LOAD / AUTH take effect through DISCARD) #639, PR fix(txn): eight command families now queue inside MULTI instead of running at queue time #654). A queued CONFIG SET applied immediately, answered +OK where the client expected +QUEUED, survived DISCARD, and left EXEC returning an array with no slot for it — so a client indexing EXEC by queue position read every later result off by one.

Performance — the teardown class

Three per-entity retire paths walked their entire collection because nothing recorded what the entity owned. Each fixed with a forward or reverse index; each measured as µs-per-entity against collection size, which is the measurement that separates a real quadratic from a constant factor.

                                 collection ->   1x     2x     4x     8x    16x
#614 payload-index doc retire   before        0.98   1.71   3.28   6.54  13.50
                                after         0.28   0.23   0.30   0.24   0.26
#649 CLIENT TRACKING disconnect before        0.97   2.72   6.30  11.91  31.77
                                after         0.07   0.03   0.03   0.03   0.03
#651 pub/sub disconnect         before        1.50   3.04   6.01  12.89  25.40
                                after        0.007  0.005  0.005  0.006  0.006

The two lock-holding ones are the ones that mattered. #649 holds the process-wide tracking mutex, so one client hanging up stalled every shard's invalidation path — ~2 ms of global-lock hold extrapolated at the 1M-key cap. #651 holds pubsub_registry.write(), which every PUBLISH fan-out blocks behind, has no cap at all, and is reachable from bare UNSUBSCRIBE — a command-rate path, not only connection churn.

Waiver closed

multi-exec-queue-semantics, disclosed as a known divergence riding v0.8.6, is resolved by #639. The multi_queues_config_get and empty_config_get_in_multi client-compat waivers are retired into live parity assertions, and six further entries regain the multi context.

Validation

• scripts/ci-local.sh green on the final branch — fmt, audit-unsafe, audit-unwrap, clippy default+tokio, VM monoio 5885 passed (3 flaky), VM tokio 5110 passed
• clippy ×3 feature sets + cargo check --features console --all-targets clean on host
• multi_exec_queue_semantics 25/25 on both runtimes
• client-compat --strict --contexts standalone,multi,pipeline vs redis-server 8.6.1: PASS=368 FAIL=0 WAIVED=50
• the MULTI queueing bypass: 8 command families execute inline instead of queueing (CONFIG SET / CLIENT SETNAME / SCRIPT LOAD / AUTH take effect through DISCARD) #639 table re-measured against the fix — all 15 command forms byte-identical to redis on both the queue reply and the EXEC arity

Release gate: hosted dispatch matrix (32567306839) and crash-matrix (32567472805) dispatched on the RC commit b05a93fe; both must be green before the tag.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR prepares the v0.8.7 release. It updates the package version, changelog, roadmap, and release notes with the release date, current GA status, included fixes, optimizations, and validation results.

Changes

v0.8.7 release preparation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Version and release records Cargo.toml, CHANGELOG.md, README.md, RELEASES.md	The package version changes to 0.8.7. Release documentation identifies v0.8.7 as the current GA release and records its fixes, optimizations, waiver status, and validation results.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 416fe

The release metadata and documentation changes are merge-ready after normal checks; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains. A minor wording cleanup should clarify that the three teardown optimizations apply to payload documents, tracking clients, and pub/sub subscribers.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Describe the three teardown optimizations by their owning entity. Payload-index retirement is document-scoped, while tracking cleanup is client-scoped and pub/sub cleanup is subscriber-scoped. Replace “three per-client teardown paths” with wording that names these entity types; make the corresponding wording update in RELEASES.md as well.
