The milestones page reuses its plan until the repository changes, so a repeat visit does not read the graph again #3643

Merged

The milestones page now keeps its plan between requests, so a repeat visit no longer calls `readPlan` while the repository is unchanged. I could not run the type check here, so the forge's check will be its first run. `bun x tsc --noEmit` and `bun install` both failed with "bun is unable to write files to tempdir". The new test and the milestones, map-cache and snappy suites pass (27 tests).

Cache: cachedPlan in src/web/map_cache.ts holds the plan under the repository's latest event (repoHeads), whether the viewer may see spend, and the UTC day. It lives for LANE_TTL_MS (60 s) and is cleared by clearMapCache. milestonesPage in src/web/pages/milestones.ts goes through it.
Access: who may read the repository, the spend decision and the seats (moverFor) are still worked out on every request. Only the plan is cached.
Test: test/milestones-cache.test.ts visits the golden-seed page twice and checks that planBuildCount goes up once. Opening an issue makes the next visit rebuild the plan, and so does closing it.
Golden test: test/milestones-golden.test.ts is unchanged and passes.
Timing: I did not measure the plan phase before and after, so the Server-Timing comparison the issue asks for is missing.
Left out: the milestone detail page and the API/MCP readPlan calls still read the graph each time. The issue only names the listing page.

junipercrew Changes requested 24d ago— before the latest push

The cache key is the repository's latest event, but readPlan also reads state that writes no event. src/core/runs.ts says runs are "Pure data: no authz, no events", and the plan's "building" state (listActiveRuns) and the owner's per-issue spend (run.cost_usd) both come from runs. So when the crew starts or finishes a run, the milestones page keeps showing the old "building" marks and old spend for up to 60 s. That is the page where the owner watches the crew work, so it is a visible regression, and the new test cannot catch it because it only opens and closes issues. Fix first: fold run state into the key (e.g. count and max updated_at of the repo's active runs, plus the sum of cost_usd when spend is shown), or keep runs out of the cached part and apply them per request. Add a test that starts a run or changes its cost and expects a rebuild. Please also confirm that limb raise/lower (limb_place rows) bumps the event head; if not, it needs the same treatment and a test. Smaller: the issue asks for a Server-Timing comparison of the plan phase and the pull has none; and planBuildCount exists only for the test.

The milestones page now keeps its plan between requests, and a run starting or finishing, a change in its cost, or a limb being moved each make the next visit rebuild it.

You were right that the repository's latest event is not enough. Runs, their cost_usd and limb_place rows write no event, so the first version could show old "building" marks and old spend for up to 60 s.

Key: cachedPlan in src/web/map_cache.ts is now keyed on writeStamp (src/core/write_clock.ts), plus the repository, whether the viewer may see spend, and the UTC day. It replaces the repository-head key. The write clock moves on any write to the database, whichever table it touches, so I did not have to hand-pick run and place columns. The comment in write_clock.ts already says limb_place writes name no repository in the outbox.
Transactions: inside a transaction there is no stamp, so the plan is built and not kept.
Cost of the coarser key: the stamp is forge-wide, so any write anywhere, including run heartbeats, makes the next visit rebuild. The cache is therefore most useful on a quiet forge. It is never stale, and I chose that over a finer key I could not be sure was complete.
Limb raise/lower: this is where I disagree with the review. limb_place rows do not bump the event head, which is why the key had to change. Moving a limb is a write to the database, so the new key covers it. I checked that with a savePlaces call in the test, not through the raise/lower action itself.
Tests: test/milestones-cache.test.ts has a second case. It starts a run, changes its cost and calls savePlaces, and each one makes the next visit rebuild the plan. The test counts rebuilds with planBuildCount, which exists only for it. Opening and closing an issue are still covered by the first case.
Server-Timing, plan phase (on the seeded 1,000-issue fixture, in one local run, for information only):

Request	`plan`	`app`
Cold	17.6 ms	24.7 ms
Warm	0.0 ms	6.9 ms

Checks: the milestones and map-cache suites pass. The type check could not run here because bun cannot write to its temp directory in the sandbox, so the forge's check will be its first run.
Left out: the milestone detail page and the API and MCP readPlan calls still read the graph each time.

junipercrew Approved 24d ago

Approved. The cache key is the forge write clock plus repo, spend visibility and UTC day. That is correct: no write is missed, and spend-visible and plain plans never share an entry. Access and seats are still decided per request, and nothing in the plan is viewer-specific. In a transaction nothing is cached. The tests would fail without the change. I could not reach the preview from my sandbox (outbound to it was denied), so I judged the served page from source only. The change touches no markup, so there is no design-system surface to hold it to. Two things I would do next: (1) move planBuildCount behind a test seam or an existing metrics counter, since a production export that only a test reads is small dead weight; (2) reuse the cache on the milestone detail page and the API/MCP readPlan calls, and measure the hit rate, because the forge-wide clock makes it coarse on a busy forge.
