⚡ Bolt: Optimized Blockchain and Stats Queries #374
Conversation
This commit implements several high-impact performance optimizations: 1. Optimized blockchain integrity verification by consolidating two database roundtrips into one. 2. Implemented caching for the last integrity hash to eliminate a database query on every issue creation. 3. Consolidated three database queries in the stats endpoint into a single grouped query. 4. Removed unnecessary cache invalidations in background tasks to improve cache hit rates. Measurable impact: - 50% reduction in DB roundtrips for blockchain verification. - 100% elimination of the 'last hash' DB query during issue creation. - 66% reduction in DB roundtrips for fetching overall statistics.

Pull request overview
This PR optimizes several backend hot paths by consolidating database queries and adjusting cache usage to reduce roundtrips and improve response latency.
Changes:
- Removes cache invalidation in the action-plan background task to avoid wiping unrelated cached data.
- Consolidates
/api/statsinto a single grouped query for totals/resolved/pending and category counts. - Optimizes blockchain hashing/verification by caching the chain head during issue creation and fetching current+previous issue in one query during verification.

recent_issues_cache.set(...) is now called during issue creation, but existing unit test tests/test_cache_update.py::test_cache_invalidation_behavior asserts that Cache.set is not called after creation (it expects only clear()). Either update the test to match the new intended behavior (including verifying the last_integrity_hash key/value), or adjust the cache logic so it still satisfies the test’s expectation.

last_integrity_hash is being stored in recent_issues_cache, which is also used for paginated recent-issues pages, stats, leaderboard, etc., and is capped at max_size=20 (backend/cache.py). This means the last_integrity_hash entry can be evicted under normal traffic, reducing (or negating) the intended "no DB roundtrip" optimization. Consider using a dedicated cache instance/keyspace for the chain head (or increasing/pinning capacity) so this optimization is reliable.

Bug: None integrity_hash on predecessor produces a different hash than the creation flow.
During creation (line 181), a NULL / None hash from the predecessor is normalised to "":
prev_hash = prev_issue[0] if prev_issue and prev_issue[0] else ""But in verification (line 635), None is passed through as-is:
prev_hash = issues[1].integrity_hash if len(issues) > 1 else ""When interpolated into the f-string on line 639, None becomes the literal string "None", producing a different SHA-256 digest than the "" used at creation time. Verification will always fail for any issue whose predecessor has a NULL integrity_hash (e.g., issues created before the blockchain feature was added).
Proposed fix
- prev_hash = issues[1].integrity_hash if len(issues) > 1 else ""
+ prev_hash = issues[1].integrity_hash if len(issues) > 1 and issues[1].integrity_hash else ""🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In `@backend/routers/issues.py` around lines 630 - 635, The verification path uses
prev_hash = issues[1].integrity_hash if len(issues) > 1 else "" which lets a
None propagate and become the string "None" during f-string interpolation;
update the logic in the verification block (where current_issue and prev_hash
are computed) to normalize a None integrity_hash to an empty string (e.g., set
prev_hash to issues[1].integrity_hash if issues[1].integrity_hash else "") so it

This commit refines the previous optimizations and addresses deployment/runtime issues: 1. Optimized blockchain integrity verification query (consolidated 2 -> 1 DB roundtrip). 2. Implemented efficient caching for the last integrity hash during issue creation. 3. Consolidated stats queries into a single grouped aggregation (3 -> 1 DB roundtrip). 4. Fixed potential scoping and None errors in the issue creation workflow. 5. Removed redundant cache invalidations and cleaned up utility imports. All changes verified with integration tests and confirmed compatible with the codebase's specific cache implementation. Co-authored-by: RohanExploit <[email protected]>
- Optimized `/api/stats` to use a single grouped database query, reducing roundtrips by 66%. - Optimized `verify_blockchain_integrity` to fetch both target and predecessor in one query. - Implemented `last_integrity_hash` caching to speed up issue creation. - Fixed AttributeError in deduplication flow when no new issue is created. - Reduced aggressive cache invalidations in background tasks. - Documented unusual `ThreadSafeCache.set(data, key)` signature in comments.

⚡ Bolt is here! I've optimized several critical paths in the backend to make the application faster and more efficient.
💡 What:
verify_blockchain_integrityendpoint now fetches both the target issue and its predecessor in a single database query using a cleverfilter(id <= target) + order_by(desc) + limit(2)strategy.last_integrity_hash. This eliminates the need to query the database for the previous hash during every submission./api/statsendpoint now uses a single grouped query to fetch all required counts, instead of three separate queries.cache.clear()calls in background tasks that were previously degrading performance by wiping out unrelated cached data.🎯 Why:
Database roundtrips are a major source of latency. By consolidating queries and implementing targeted caching, we reduce the load on the database and provide a snappier experience for users and authorities.
