MRMS
----
Layer the NOAA MRMS PrecipRate product onto the score grid so rain fade
updates every 2 minutes instead of every hour alongside HRRR. New modules:
- Microwaveprop.Weather.MrmsClient: fetches the latest .grib2.gz off the
NCEP mirror (Req auto-decompresses so no gunzip step), writes the raw
GRIB2 to a temp file, and calls the existing wgrib2 wrapper with the
0.125 propagation grid spec to get interpolated cells. Returns a
%{{lat, lon} => mm_per_hour} map with missing-value sentinels dropped.
- Microwaveprop.Weather.MrmsCache: ETS-backed GenServer mirroring
ScoreCache/GridCache. Caches a single "current" entry keyed by
valid_time with PubSub broadcast so peer nodes stay in sync and only
the Oban leader pays the fetch + regrid cost.
- Microwaveprop.Workers.MrmsFetchWorker: cron every 2 minutes, short-
circuits when the cached valid_time already matches the newest file.
Microwaveprop.Propagation.AsosNudge.compute/4 now takes an optional
rain_grid. When a cell has MRMS rain >= 0.1 mm/hr it gets patched onto
the HRRR profile's `precip_mm` field (the scorer already reads it there)
and the cell is re-scored even with no ASOS station nearby. Cells with
MRMS rain below the threshold aren't touched so dry cells keep their
raw HRRR scores (which have the wind/sky/native-gradient signal that
isn't persisted on HrrrProfile rows and would otherwise be lost).
AsosAdjustmentWorker pulls MrmsCache on every tick and passes the grid
through to AsosNudge.compute/4. Also skips the IemClient error branch
that can never happen and handles the ASOS-empty + MRMS-empty case
explicitly. MrmsCache wired into the supervision tree; MrmsFetchWorker
cron entry added to config.exs and dev.exs.
Four new AsosNudge cases cover MRMS-only re-scoring, threshold gating,
and the wet/dry score delta.
Beacons 500
-----------
Beacon.format_freq/1 and format_mw/1 crashed on whole-number floats
(e.g. 24192.0) because `frac == 0.0` could become false under float
rounding while `trim_trailing_zeros/1` stripped the decimal point,
leaving a 1-element list that couldn't be destructured as [_, frac].
Shared format_number/1 helper handles integer input directly and
pattern-matches both the "int-only" and "int + frac" shapes.
Added stream_data property tests covering the whole microwave range for
both integers and floats to catch this class of bug before prod.
UTC clock flash
---------------
The /weather and /map UTC clocks were empty until the JS hook mounted
post-WebSocket, producing a several-second blank spot on initial load
and a clobber risk on sidebar re-renders. Mount now computes a
server-rendered `initial_utc_clock` string and the template seeds the
element with that plus `phx-update="ignore"` so LiveView morphdom won't
overwrite what the hook writes.
Adds Microwaveprop.Propagation.AsosNudge: a pure IDW bias-field module
that takes ASOS observations + HRRR profiles and returns re-scored grid
rows for every cell within 250km of a reporting station. Upper-air
fields (min_refractivity_gradient, pwat_mm, hpbl_m, profile, duct
metadata) pass through unchanged so HRRR's signal isn't clobbered.
The old AsosAdjustmentWorker was unwired and buggy — nil'd out ~22% of
the scoring weight and wrote orphan timestamps. Replaced with a slim
worker that queries the latest HRRR valid_time, fetches live ASOS
currents, calls AsosNudge.compute/3, and upserts onto
(lat, lon, valid_time, band_mhz) so nudged values overwrite the HRRR
hour cleanly instead of polluting available_valid_times. After each
upsert it warms ScoreCache and broadcasts propagation:updated so live
/map clients refresh.
Cron hooked up every 10 minutes in config.exs and dev.exs. Also cleaned
up the stale "dev has propagation disabled" note in CLAUDE.md.
13 new AsosNudge unit tests cover: residual computation (co-located,
out-of-grid, nil fields), IDW weighting (single station, far station,
two equidistant stations, nil component handling), upper-air
preservation, and the compute/3 entry point's shape and radius filter.
Drive-by Styler formatting touched a handful of unrelated files from
`mix format`.
- Forecast hour clicks showed only a small square of coverage because
:preload_forecast ran at mount using a hardcoded fallback bounding box
instead of the client's actual viewport. Move the preload trigger into
handle_event("map_bounds", ...) so the cache always matches the
viewport the client just asked about.
- Map overlay blinked on load/update because renderScores called Leaflet
GridLayer.redraw(), which removes every tile element before recreating
them. Repaint the existing tile canvases in place instead.
- Prod SMTP to mail.smtp2go.com was failing with an "unexpected_message"
TLS alert: gen_smtp wasn't sending SNI so the wildcard cert endpoint
rejected the handshake. Set tls: :always with explicit tls_options
(server_name_indication, versions, verify).
- Add contacts_inserted_at_desc_id_desc_idx so /contacts list runs as an
Index Scan (~0.4ms) instead of a Seq Scan + top-N heapsort (~77ms on
58k rows)
- Add Microwaveprop.Cache: tiny ETS-backed TTL cache for memoizing
expensive-but-stale-tolerant values
- Cache total_entries for unsearched /contacts page loads (30s TTL,
invalidated on insert)
- Cache the entire /contacts/map payload (pre-encoded JSON + band list),
moving load_contacts into Radio.contact_map_payload; invalidated on
new contact insert. Mount goes from ~150-300ms to ~5ms.
- Fix /map overlay blinking on load: reuse the Leaflet GridLayer across
renderScores calls and just redraw() against the updated ScoreGrid,
instead of removeLayer + new layer which flashed between tile regens
- Make mode optional on submission: schema change (null: true),
submission_changeset no longer requires it, blank strings normalise to
nil, CSV import accepts 6-column (no mode) or 7-column layouts
- core_components .input adds a red asterisk to labels when required,
giving users a visual cue for which fields must be filled on /submit
The ownership_timeout controls how long a process can hold a checkout,
but the per-query Postgrex timeout (default 15s) is separate. Oban
inline mode chains workers synchronously, so individual queries can
exceed 15s under concurrent test load.
- Rename all .js files to .ts in assets/js/
- Add interfaces for hook state, data structures, and event payloads
- Add type annotations to function parameters and return types
- Create type declarations for vendor deps (Leaflet, Chart.js, Phoenix, topbar)
- Update tsconfig.json for strict TypeScript checking
- Update esbuild entry point to app.ts
Release.backtest_all, climatology, native_derive now enqueue an
AdminTaskWorker job on the new :admin queue and return immediately.
Progress visible in Oban Web at /admin/oban.
Wire up the Oban Pro Smart engine in base + runtime config and add the
Pro migration (oban_producers, oban_crons, oban_queues tables + the
v1.6 partition/workflow index additions on oban_jobs).
On the Smart engine the era5_batch queue now has a global_limit of 4
in-flight jobs across the cluster and a rate_limit of 10 jobs per hour
so slow Copernicus CDS submit/poll cycles can't exhaust our daily
request budget when a backfill kicks off.
The slow CDS submit/poll/download cycle of the month-batch worker was
sharing the era5 queue with the cheap Era5FetchWorker router, and its
2 concurrent slots were permanently pinned by long-running batch jobs
while hundreds of router jobs starved. Give the batch worker its own
era5_batch queue (also 2 concurrent per pod) so the router has
dedicated capacity.
Pruning used to only run at the end of a successful PropagationGridWorker
pass, so a stretch of failed compute jobs (k8s OOM kills, SIGTERM)
stopped prune from running and let the table accumulate ~5h of stale
rows. A dedicated PropagationPruneWorker now runs every 15 minutes on
its own Oban cron, and PropagationGridWorker also calls prune_old_scores
at the start of each run as a second safety net. Bumped the delete
timeout from 2m to 5m so the first catch-up pass has enough headroom.
- Add on_the_air boolean to beacons (default true); surfaced as a
checkbox on the form, a badge on the index, and in the detail list.
- Render a Leaflet map on the beacon show page with a marker at the
beacon's lat/lon tooltipped with callsign + frequency. Marker is
green when on air, gray when off.
- Compute and draw a reception-range estimate as concentric signal-
strength rings. New Microwaveprop.Beacons.RangeEstimate solves a
link budget (FSPL + O2/H2O absorption from BandConfig) at five RX
thresholds (-100 to -145 dBm), then scales by 0.5 + score/100 from
the latest Propagation.point_detail at the beacon's grid square, so
current HRRR conditions shift the rings in or out.
- Re-enable the hourly PropagationGridWorker cron and freshness
monitor in dev.exs so dev actually has HRRR-backed scores to feed
the new estimator.
Generated Accounts context, User schema, and controllers via
phx.gen.auth. Adapted it for password-only login with required
email confirmation:
- Users have callsign (unique, uppercased), name, email, password
- Registration form fields: callsign, name, email, password, confirm
- Magic-link login path removed; login is email + password only
- After register, a confirmation email is sent and login is blocked
until the account is confirmed via the token URL
- Confirmation link logs the user in on first use
- SMTP2GO configured as the outgoing mailer in k8s prod
Runs BackfillEnqueueWorker every 30 minutes to pick up contacts with
pending/queued/failed enrichment status and enqueue missing jobs.
Before enqueueing, reconciles terrain contacts stuck in "queued" by
checking the terrain_profiles FK directly.
Backfill dashboard now has checkboxes to select which enrichment types
to process (HRRR, Weather, Terrain, IEMRE). Prevents weather jobs from
flooding the queue when only HRRR needs work.
Per-pod queues divided by 3 to maintain sane cluster totals.
Lifeline rescue reduced to 10 min to recover OOM orphans faster.
Memory limit 2Gi → 4Gi for HRRR wgrib2 processing.

Rename all modules, functions, variables, routes, and UI text from
qso/qsos to contact/contacts. Database table stays as "qsos" to avoid
migration. Add /qsos -> /contacts redirects for old URLs.

- Fix process explosion: single EXLA call per chunk instead of per-grid-point
QSO Features:
- Callsign search (ILIKE on station1/station2) with trigram indexes
- Reciprocal QSO grouping (same pair, same band, same hour)
- Wider layout (max-w-7xl) for data table pages
- QSO Training Data link on map page
Infrastructure:
- Re-enable hourly propagation grid worker in dev
- Track ML model weights in git for Docker builds
- Add btree indexes on qsos (timestamp, band, distance_km)
- Remove nav icons from layout header
Score time-of-day per grid point using longitude/15 solar offset instead of
hardcoded CST/CDT. Add PWAT as 10th scoring factor. Refine pressure thresholds.
Update ML model and training pipeline to use local solar time.
ASOS re-scoring was upserting 458K records every 10 min while losing
the refractivity gradient (the key ducting indicator). HRRR hourly
provides all surface variables plus vertical profile data.
458K-record upsert held a connection for the entire transaction,
exceeding the 15s Postgrex timeout on prod. Set transaction timeout
to infinity and increase prod pool from 10 to 20.
