Error message

db: GetAdaptiveIDConfig: read max_hash_length: %w

What it means

This error wraps a GetConfig(ctx, "max_hash_length") driver failure in GetAdaptiveIDConfig, the third sequential config read in that function. Like its siblings, it fires only on database I/O failures; an absent key leaves cfg.MaxLength at its default and unparsable values are ignored silently.

Solutions

1. Unwrap the error to see the driver cause.
2. Reconnect and retry the config load.
3. Extend context timeouts so all three sequential reads fit within the deadline.
4. Check server logs for config-table query errors.

cfg, err := store.GetAdaptiveIDConfig(ctx)
if err != nil {
    log.Printf("adaptive config unavailable (%v); applying defaults", err)
    cfg = domain.DefaultAdaptiveConfig()
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling GetAdaptiveIDConfig when the SELECT for max_hash_length fails due to connection loss, context cancellation, or a server error on the config table.

Common situations: Connection resets during multi-read config loading, per-query deadlines expiring partway through GetAdaptiveIDConfig, Dolt server restarts.

Understand the failure class

Background: Database query failed: Internal Server Error 500s wrapping SQL, Prisma, and connection failures — what to check first — this error's family across 16 libraries.
