Fix all 4 performance hotspots
- grid.ex: memoize conus_points/0 with module attribute (was ~94k recompute per call)
- path_compute.ex: reduce 6 list traversals to single Enum.reduce pass
- radio.ex + application.ex: fix unused variable e and redundant case warnings
- priv: add 5 partial indexes on (qso_timestamp) for enrichment queries (weather, hrrr,
  terrain, iemre, radar) matching the WHERE status IN ('pending','failed') AND pos1 IS NOT NULL
  pattern used by contacts_needing_enrichment
- findings.md: mark all performance hotspots and corresponding items as fixed

# Findings — Bugs & Improvements (Non-Critical)
## Bugs
### 🟡 Medium
| # | File | Line | Issue | Suggested Fix |
|---|------|------|-------|---------------|
| 1 | `radio.ex` | 128, 157 | N+1 queries — `list_contacts_for_user` and `list_contacts_involving_callsign` don't preload `:user` | Add `|> Repo.preload(:user)` before `Repo.all()` |
| ~2~ | `radio.ex` | 751-757 | ~~Missing indexes — dedup query~~ | *(fixed — `contacts_dedup_idx`)* |
| ~3~ | `grid.ex` | 31-36 | ~~Memoize `conus_points/0`~~ | *(fixed — module attribute)* |
| 4 | `endpoint.ex` | 7-12 | Session cookie is signed but not encrypted — payload is readable though tamper-proof | Add `encryption_salt` to `@session_options` |
| 5 | `accounts.ex` | 528-538 | Fetches all tokens before deleting them — two queries where one suffices | Use `Repo.delete_all(from t in UserToken, where: t.user_id == ^user.id)` |
| 6 | `profiles_file.ex` | 169-177 | Unhandled `:zlib.gunzip/1` exception — corrupt gzip files raise through cache wrapper | Wrap in `try/rescue` |
| 7 | `scores_file.ex` | 515 | Direct ETS `match_delete` bypassing Cache API | Use `Cache.invalidate` or `Cache` public API |
| 8 | `profiles_file.ex` | 323 | Same direct ETS access as above | Same fix |
| ~9~ | `path_compute.ex` | 381-394 | ~~Six redundant list traversals~~ | *(fixed — single `Enum.reduce`)* |
| 10 | `hf_muf.ex` | 51 | `sec_i_factor(@ref_distance_km)` recomputed on every call — constant input | Precompute with module attribute |
| 11 | `config/config.exs` | 163 | `EXLA.Backend` configured for all envs but `nx`/`exla` are dev/test-only deps | Guard with `if Mix.env() in [:dev, :test]` |
### 🟢 Low
| # | File | Line | Issue | Suggested Fix |
|---|------|------|-------|---------------|
| 12 | `router.ex` | 165 | Login rate limit 30/min per IP may be generous for brute-force | Consider lowering to 10-15/min |
| 13 | `application.ex` | 107-109 | Dev/test model loading blocks supervisor start | Wrap in `Task.start` |
| 14 | `scorer.ex` | 126-138 | `classify_time_period` guard boundaries have gap at exactly `-3.0` | Switch to `cond` with inclusive/exclusive clarity |
| 15 | `scorer.ex` | 636 | `||` for default when `//` is more intention-revealing | Replace `contact.pos1["lon"] \|\| -97.0` with `//` |
| 16 | `path_compute.ex` | 356-357 | Eager `Repo.get(Station, ...)` instead of preloading assoc | Preload `:station` upstream |
| 17 | `radio.ex` | 1203 | Hardcoded cache key `{ContactMapController, :gzipped_payload}` fragile to module rename | Extract to a named key in `ContactMapController` |
| 18 | `user.ex` | — | Missing `has_many :contacts` and `has_many :beacons` associations | Add for convenience (not a bug, test callers use raw queries) |
| ~19~ | `radio.ex` | 337 | ~~Missing enrichment query partial indexes~~ | *(fixed — 5 `qso_timestamp` partial indexes added)* |
---
## Improvements
### Architecture & Design
| # | Area | Suggestion |
|---|------|------------|
| 1 | `contact_live_test.exs` (3505 lines) | Split into smaller files — currently 2.5x next largest file, uses `async: true` with shared state, relies on `send(lv.pid, ...)` / `:sys.get_state` |
| 2 | **18 `Process.sleep` usages** in tests | Replace with `Process.monitor` + `assert_receive` or `:sys.get_state` per AGENTS.md |
| 3 | **25 `Process.alive?` assertions** in tests | Assert on DOM output instead — only verifies process didn't crash, not that handler did anything |
| 4 | `route.ex` | `get "/"` page controller serves HTML _and_ markdown via `serve_markdown_if_requested` — bypasses secure headers on markdown path |
| 5 | `router.ex` | Some public routes (`/docs/api/openapi.yaml`) are inside `:browser` pipeline but outside `live_session` — comment explains it's intentional but fragile |
### Test Coverage Gaps
| Module | Status |
|--------|--------|
| `lib/microwaveprop/ionosphere.ex` | **Untested** |
| `lib/microwaveprop/mailer.ex` | **Untested** |
| `lib/microwaveprop/repo.ex` | **Untested** |
| `lib/microwaveprop/space_weather.ex` | **Untested** |
| `about_live.ex` | Real DB query logic, **untested** |
### Config & Tooling
| # | Finding | Suggested Fix |
|---|---------|---------------|
| 1 | `LIVE_VIEW_SIGNING_SALT` hardcoded in `config.exs`, not read from env | Read from `System.get_env` in `runtime.exs` |
| 2 | `:precommit` uses `deps.unlock --unused` (modifies lockfile) | Use `--check-unused` for read-only check |
| 3 | `Credo.Check.Warning.UnsafeToAtom` disabled | Re-enable to catch `String.to_atom(user_input)` DOS vector |
| 4 | `Credo.Check.Readability.Specs` disabled | Consider re-enabling for production codebase |
| 5 | `Credo.Check.Warning.LeakyEnvironment` disabled | Re-enable to catch accidental env var logging |
~~Performance Hotspots~~ (all fixed)
### Security (Remaining)
| # | Finding | Severity |
|---|---------|----------|
| 1 | Session cookie missing encryption salt (endpoint.ex:7-12) | Medium |
| 2 | `String.to_atom/1` not warned by Credo (`.credo.exs` has `UnsafeToAtom` disabled) | Low |
| 3 | Login rate limit at 30/min may be generous | Low |
| 4 | `build_contact_changes` in `radio.ex:1277` uses `String.to_existing_atom(key)` — safe due to whitelist, but fragile | Low |
| 5 | Markdown path bypasses secure browser headers | Low (mitigated by plain-text content type) |
