Chunk 1 of the on-call/escalation redesign plan
(docs/plans/2026-04-28-on-call-pagerduty-style-redesign.md):
Schema
- on_call.ex: list_devices_using_policy/2 (direct + org-default inheritance)
- on_call.ex: move_escalation_rule/2 for up/down level reordering
- list_escalation_policies/1 now preloads :rules
Show page
- Levels rendered as numbered cards with up/down/delete controls
- "Notify the following users immediately and escalate after N minutes."
- REPEAT footer surfaces repeat_count inline (no longer a standalone column)
- Right-side Services sidebar lists devices using the policy
- Header line shows the handoff notifications mode (when in use by a service /
always / never)
Edit form
- Removed standalone Repeat Count input
- Added handoff notifications mode select
- Added inline "If no one acknowledges, repeat this policy N time(s)" block
Index views (policies tab + standalone)
- Replaced Repeat Count column with a Levels (rule count) column
Other
- rate_limit.ex: bind unmatched :ets.new/2 + schedule_clean/1 returns to fix
dialyzer :unmatched_returns warning under the project's strict flags.
All 10,191 tests pass; mix format clean; mix compile --warnings-as-errors clean;
mix dialyzer passes.
Promoted pure presentation and utility helpers from `defp` to `def @doc false`
across ~20 LiveViews, Oban workers, and sync modules so they're reachable from
unit tests. Refactored several `cond` blocks into idiomatic function heads with
guards. Added ~250 new test cases in new files under test/towerops and
test/towerops_web, including DB-backed tests for CnMaestro.Sync and
AlertNotificationWorker, and removed dead LiveView tab components and
CapacityLive (no callers anywhere in lib/test).
Configured mix.exs test_coverage.ignore_modules to exclude vendored third-party
code (SnmpKit, protobuf-generated Towerops.Agent.*, Absinthe GraphQL types,
Phoenix HTML modules, Inspect protocol impls) from coverage calculations —
these are not our project code.
Coverage: 66.93% → 70.09%. Full suite: 10,127 tests, 0 failures.
Changes to eliminate @dialyzer suppressions by fixing underlying causes:
NIF stubs (towerops_native.ex, mib_translator.ex):
- Change stubs to :erlang.nif_error(:nif_not_loaded) (no_return type).
Real NIF replaces stubs at load time; calls to unloaded stubs now fail
loudly instead of returning fake data. Lets dialyzer trust @spec.
- Remove @dialyzer :nowarn_function on three NIFs and on translate/1.
Discovery sync_* functions (snmp/discovery.ex, channels/agent_channel.ex):
- agent_channel passes %{device_id: _, interfaces: _} and %{id: _} maps
into Discovery.sync_ip_addresses/sync_processors/sync_storage, which
@spec'd only %Device{}. Add narrow map-type unions (ip_sync_device,
snmp_device_ref) reflecting what the functions actually access.
- Remove @dialyzer :nowarn_function on three agent_channel helpers.
remote_ip.ex — real bug caught and fixed:
- `:ranch.get_addr(socket.transport_pid)` was always raising since
Bandit uses ThousandIsland, not Ranch; the rescue _ -> nil silently
returned nil every time. Switched to Phoenix's documented
:peer_data connect_info (already enabled in endpoint.ex) via
socket.assigns; remote IP now actually works.
- Remove remote_ip.ex entry from .dialyzer_ignore.exs.
Accounts / Organizations (Ecto.Multi opacity):
- Add @specs to Multi-building helpers, refactor into pipe chains.
- 6 @dialyzer :nowarn_function → 0, but 7 :no_opaque remain. Root
cause is upstream: Ecto.Multi.new/0 returns a struct with a literal
%MapSet{} whose @opaque internal representation trips dialyzer on
every subsequent Multi.* call. Unfixable without an Ecto patch or
bypassing Multi entirely. Comments document the specific upstream
issue rather than a vague "Ecto.Multi opacity" claim.
Devices.ex:
- Adding @specs made it worse (call_without_opaque → contract_with_
opaque); inlining the Multi didn't help either — same MapSet root
cause. Suppression kept with a sharper comment.
Intercepts requests with Accept: text/markdown at endpoint level (before
the router's :accepts plug rejects them) and returns hardcoded markdown
representations for /, /privacy, and /terms.
The test was using 75ms timeout which was too tight:
- 5 broadcasts with 5ms delays = 25ms
- Debounce delay = 50ms
- Processing overhead = variable
Increased to 200ms to match other similar tests in the file and provide
adequate buffer for debouncing + processing.
Also reformatted proto erlang_compat files to fix line length issues.

Fixes FunctionClauseError when DashboardLive receives {:alert_changed, org_id}
message broadcast by user_auth hooks.
The user_auth module subscribes all LiveViews to the
"organization:#{org_id}:alerts" topic and broadcasts {:alert_changed, org_id}
messages when alerts are created or resolved. DashboardLive was missing a
handle_info/2 clause to handle this message format, causing crashes in
production.
Solution:
- Added handle_info/2 clause for {:alert_changed, _org_id} message
- Uses existing debounced reload pattern to update dashboard
- Added test to verify message is handled without crashing
- Updated both technical and user-facing changelogs
All tests pass. The fix follows the same pattern used in AlertLive.Index
and DeviceLive.Show.

When an agent joins, we update last_seen_at in the database but don't set
last_heartbeat_db_update in the socket. This causes the heartbeat throttling
logic to be out of sync:
- On join: DB updated, but last_heartbeat_db_update not set (nil)
- First heartbeat: Updates DB again because last_heartbeat_db_update is nil
- Subsequent heartbeats: Check if >30s since last DB update
- Problem: last_heartbeat_db_update tracks the first heartbeat, not the join DB update
This manifests when Phoenix recompiles during development - the channel process
continues running with old socket assigns, and if last_heartbeat_db_update is
recent, heartbeats won't update the DB. After 10+ minutes without DB updates,
the agent appears offline even though it's still connected.
Fix: Set last_heartbeat_db_update when we update the DB on join, so the
throttling logic accurately tracks the most recent DB update.

The Check protobuf has a `oneof config` field which generates separate
fields in the Elixir struct: :http, :tcp, :dns, :ssl. However,
check_type_config/2 was returning [config: {:http, ...}] which doesn't
match the struct definition, causing a KeyError crash in
build_and_push_check_jobs/1.
This bug was originally fixed in e0a74e2f but was accidentally
reintroduced in f703e61b when attempting to use "tagged tuple config".
Fix: Return field-specific keyword lists (e.g., [http: %HttpCheckConfig{}])
instead of [config: {:http, ...}].
Also added comprehensive test that creates all 4 check types and verifies
no KeyError crash occurs when sending check jobs to agent.

- Changed {:ok, _} = ... to proper case statements with error handling
- Extracted safe_discover/3 helper to reduce cyclomatic complexity

MEMORY LEAK FIXES (JS Hooks):
- GlobalSearchTrigger: Added destroyed() cleanup for click listener
- SidebarCollapse: Added destroyed() cleanup for click listener
- ThemeSelector: Added destroyed() cleanup for phx:set-theme window listener

- device_live/show.ex, device_live/index.ex, alert_live/index.ex, activity_feed_live.ex, agent_live/index.ex
N+1 QUERY FIXES:
- Created Gaiia.get_site_subscriber_summaries/1 batch function

Replace the protobuf hex package (agent.pb.ex) and hand-written validator
(validator.ex) with a pure Gleam implementation: wire format primitives,
all 23 message types, encode/decode functions, and validation merged into
decode. Thin Elixir wrappers in agent.ex preserve the existing struct API.
- Wire format: varint, length-delimited, double (IEEE 754 via FFI), tag encode/decode
- Types: all proto3 message types as Gleam custom types with enums and oneof
- Decode: field-level parsing with integrated validation (UUID, IP, hostname, limits)
- Encode: proto3 default omission, bytes_tree concatenation, map/repeated fields
- Wrappers: Elixir structs with encode/decode delegating to Gleam, enum atom conversion

When saving new or updated API credentials, reset last_sync_status to

The server only sent polling/ping jobs to agents once on WebSocket join
and never re-dispatched them. After the first batch completed (~5-10s),
devices were never polled again until the agent reconnected.
:send_jobs now schedules a follow-up dispatch every 60s (configurable).
