  • Added authorization-aware node_count(), link_count(), and atom_count() for protected and remote AtomDBs. Schema counts traverse reachable atoms and use a visited-handle set to avoid duplicate counts.
  • Correctness risk: The traversal counts each first-seen handle as an atom even when key-sensitive lookup cannot retrieve it. Tests confirm this behavior. The authorization manifest also retains a loaded profile after its grant is revoked, so counts can continue to include that profile. RemoteAtomDBPeer counts its write buffer and local persistence, but not its read cache or remote backend.
  • Memory and performance: Each profile count allocates a visited set that can grow with the reachable graph. Each separate count call traverses schemas again. Thread-safety and error-handling findings were not supplied.
  • Added C++ tests in src/tests/cpp/ for protected and remote counts, schema matching, nested links, unreadable targets, invalid keys, and revocation. Test execution results and client-suite coverage were not supplied.

Walkthrough

The change adds recursive counting of reachable atoms and authorization-profile counts. Protected and remote AtomDB count methods return node, link, and atom counts. C++ tests cover keychain-filtered counts.

Changes

Keychain-Aware Atom Counts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reachable atom traversal
src/atomdb/AtomDBUtils.h, src/atomdb/AtomDBUtils.cc
AtomDBUtils counts reachable nodes, links, and atoms. It uses keychain-aware lookup for key-sensitive databases and skips handles already visited.
Schema and profile aggregation
src/atomdb/auth/AuthorizationTypes.h, src/atomdb/auth/AuthorizationTypes.cc, src/atomdb/auth/AuthorizationManifest.h, src/atomdb/auth/AuthorizationManifest.cc, src/atomdb/auth/BUILD
Schemas count reachable atoms for matching handles. Profiles aggregate counts from schemas that allow READ. The manifest returns the requested count for a keychain.
Protected AtomDB counts
src/atomdb/ProtectedAtomDB.cc, src/tests/cpp/protected_atomdb_test.cc, src/tests/cpp/protected_atomdb_count_test.cc, src/tests/cpp/BUILD
Protected AtomDB count methods delegate to the authorization manifest. Tests cover keychain requirements, schema-filtered counts, nested-link schemas, and counts after revocation.
Remote AtomDB counts
src/atomdb/remotedb/RemoteAtomDBPeer.cc, src/atomdb/remotedb/RemoteAtomDB.cc, src/tests/cpp/remote_atomdb_key_sensitive_test.cc
RemoteAtomDB sums peer counts. Each peer counts from the protected write buffer when available, otherwise from the ordinary write buffer, and adds local-persistence counts when configured.

83-92: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid a full traversal for each counter.

Each node_count/link_count/atom_count call runs every schema query and walks the full traversal, then drops two of the three results. The tests call all three counters back to back, so the work runs three times. Expose the array result, or cache it, so that callers can get all three counts from one walk.

56-60: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a Doxygen block to the public count_reachable_atoms API.

Every other public method in this class has a /** ... */ block. This method has none. The counting semantics are not obvious. For example, atom_count also counts handles that the keychain cannot read. Document this so callers can interpret the three counters.
As per coding guidelines: "Public API in .h files uses brief Doxygen /** ... */ blocks above methods."

Review comments at @src/atomdb/AtomDBUtils.cc:
- Around line 33-36: Update the ProtectedAtomDB counting traversal to receive
and use the appropriate database explicitly instead of calling
AtomDBSingleton::get_instance(). Use the database held by AuthorizationSchema,
choosing KeySensitiveAtomDB or AtomDB lookup semantics as appropriate, so target
resolution uses the intended database and keychain.
- Around line 87-109: Update count_reachable_atoms_recursive to increment
atom_count only when get_atom returns a readable, found atom, and deduplicate
traversal using a visited set of target handles shared across all schemas so
shared atoms are counted once. Update the expectations in
protected_atomdb_count_test.cc at lines 139-160 to assert the resulting
deduplicated, readable-only counts, replacing the existing 12/3 values and
EXPECT_GT assertion.

Review comments at @src/atomdb/auth/AuthorizationTypes.cc:
- Around line 128-138: Update AuthorizationProfile::count_matching_atoms to
handle is_unrestricted() profiles by returning the backend’s node, link, and
atom counts instead of counting the empty schemas_ list; preserve the existing
schema-based counting path for restricted profiles.

Review comments at @src/atomdb/remotedb/RemoteAtomDB.cc:
- Around line 546-566: Update RemoteAtomDB::node_count,
RemoteAtomDB::link_count, and RemoteAtomDB::atom_count to count unique atom
handles across peers instead of summing per-peer totals; reuse a seen-handle set
so shared atoms contribute only once.

Shouldn't we pass the keychain here?

Make the if using the check for nullptr after dynamic casting to Link to be compliant with the change asked in the comment below (in the recursive version of this method).

Instead of using the function call Atom::is_node(), make the dynamic cast to Link and check for nullptr.
The point here is that this code is critical to the performance of this method.

Either use the same reference parameter passing for the counts or create a new data class with the counts and return an object (an actual object, not a shared_ptr, reference etc) here

* @param keychain The keychain to count atoms for.
* @return The number of atoms matching the keychain.

Use the same public API as in the Profile (see my comment in the profile class). Having this count_type here is awful because if the user wants to know e.g. the number of nodes and links it would need to call this (very expensive) method twice.

I understand the AtomDB API doesn't allow a call to make use of this but this is just because the implementation of counts before Authorization was trivial and cheap. Now that we have an expensive counting routine we WILL want to allow a single call to count both nodes and links in the AtomDB API. Probably we'll just replicate the same API we are implementing here (a single call which computes nodes, links and atoms counts).

For now, keep the three methods count_*() in ProtectedAtomDB calling this method in Manifest and picking up the requested count.
