1. GridCache: auto-release fill lock when the claimer process crashes.
claim_fill/1 + release_fill/1 go through the GenServer so the
server can Process.monitor the caller and clean up the ETS entry
on :DOWN. Clear/0 now resets both the data table and the lock
table. Fixes a latent bug where a crashed fill leaked the lock
indefinitely, preventing every subsequent /weather mount for that
valid_time from claiming and leaving cache cold.
2. RadarFrameWorker: distinguish permanent vs transient fetch errors.
404 from the IEM n0q archive is permanent (file will never exist)
and marks contacts :unavailable as before. Any other error shape
(5xx, timeout, transport failure) now returns {:error, reason}
so Oban retries — previously those also pinned contacts at
:unavailable after a transient outage.
3. AdminTaskWorker.native_derive: replace per-row Repo.update_all
(N round-trips + N fsyncs) with one UPDATE ... FROM unnest(...)
per 2000-row batch. For the 10k-profile budget this is one
network round trip per chunk instead of 10k, and one fsync per
chunk instead of 10k. Restructured the clause to separate
derivation (pure) from persistence (I/O).
All three changes are test-covered (grid_cache_test auto-release
test, radar_frame_worker_test 5xx + transport tests, existing
admin_task_worker_test native_derive coverage exercises the new
bulk path). Also drops the scorer_diff no-op test that was
verifying the clause removed in 61da51c.
- AdminTaskWorker: remove scorer_diff no-op clause (propagation_scores table
was dropped pre-cutover; queue is drained).
- Weather: remove load_weather_grid_from_db/1 fallback — Rust writes
ProfilesFile for every forecast hour, so the DB path was unreachable
in practice and loaded stale pre-cutover data when it fired.
- Weather.build_grid_cache_row/4 now prefers persisted fields from the
ProfilesFile profile map (surface_refractivity, min_refractivity_gradient,
ducting_detected, duct_characteristics) over re-deriving from the raw
profile, matching the old DB-path semantics.
- NotifyListener: wrap per-band warm in try/rescue so one corrupt or
mid-rename .ntms file doesn't abort the remaining bands. Failures log
a warning with band + valid_time; successes still emit one info line.
- weather_grid_test: rewrite insert_hrrr_profile helper to write
ProfilesFile directly and drop the "only returns points on 0.125 grid"
test (filter was a property of the deleted DB fallback; Rust writes
only grid points by construction).
Backtest branch's unknown-feature guard was dead code: the if block's
{:error, _} return was discarded and execution fell through, running the
backtest with a just-created atom and writing a report for nonsense
features. Two compounding issues:
- function_exported?/3 returns false for modules not yet loaded in the
BEAM, so even valid feature names triggered the warning path on a
cold VM.
- String.to_atom/1 on caller-supplied strings created unbounded atoms.
Fix: Code.ensure_loaded?(Features) before the check, String.to_existing_atom/1
with rescue (Features exports __info__(:functions) so every valid function
atom already exists), and an explicit early return via a with pipeline so
the error tuple actually leaves the worker.
Full cutover: the propagation_scores Postgres table is gone, and
the binary files under /data/scores are the sole source of truth
for the map render path. Three stacked changes:
1. New migration drops the propagation_scores table and its indexes
(the earlier tuning migrations for it were already applied and
are now no-ops against a missing table, which is fine — Ecto
just runs them on fresh environments).
2. Propagation context is gutted of every GridScore reference.
replace_scores/2 writes files only. upsert_scores/2 is deleted.
load_scores_from_db, available_valid_times_from_db,
point_detail_from_db, point_forecast_from_db, fetch_factors,
coalesce_factors, the Postgres side of prune_old_scores, and
the Postgres fallbacks in latest/earliest_valid_time are all
removed. point_detail always returns an empty factors map now
since factor breakdowns were retired with the table.
3. Deleted modules:
- Propagation.GridScore (the schema)
- Propagation.ScorerDiff (read factors from the table)
- Propagation.AsosNudge (helper for AsosAdjustmentWorker)
- Workers.AsosAdjustmentWorker (its cron was already disabled)
- Mix.Tasks.ScorerDiff (wrapper around the deleted module)
And their tests. AdminTaskWorker's scorer_diff task is a
logging no-op so any queued Oban rows drain cleanly.
Release.scorer_diff stays as a stub that tells the operator.
propagation_prune_worker_test rewritten to exercise ScoresFile
pruning. propagation_test.exs rewritten to use replace_scores +
ScoresFile throughout (no more GridScore / upsert_scores paths).
Aliases: add module aliases for 9 nested module references
Apply: replace apply/3 with direct module attribute calls
Line length: break 1 long spec line
Refactoring: extract helpers to reduce complexity and nesting
in show.ex, radio.ex, weather workers, terrain, duct detection,
backfill dashboard, contact map, and mix tasks
Release.backtest_all, climatology, native_derive now enqueue an
AdminTaskWorker job on the new :admin queue and return immediately.
