dgtlmoonandClaude Opus 5 62f425bdb5 Debounce the explicit gc.collect() storm on the watch-check path
Several places call gc.collect() after a check to keep C-level memory
(pyppeteer buffers, libxml2 documents, PIL, brotli) from accumulating.
Individually each is reasonable; run concurrently by many fetch workers they
become a storm. Every gc.collect() is a full stop-the-world pass that walks the
whole heap holding the GIL, so at FETCH_WORKERS=50 the process spends most of
its time stopped in the collector - which also starves each worker's asyncio
loop, leaving its CDP websocket unread.

Measured on 153 real puppeteer checks of a live site at FETCH_WORKERS=50, with
an `//div` include filter so the lxml document tree is realistic:

                     collects  objects freed  gc time  checks/sec  CPU/check     RSS
  one per call site       790      2,594,098    91.3s       0.766     1.373s  279.6MB
  debounced to 1s          48      2,219,010     7.3s       1.433     0.731s  275.3MB
  none at all               0              0     0.0s       1.503     0.685s  287.7MB

Debouncing keeps 86% of the reclamation for 6% of the collections: 1.9x the
throughput, half the CPU per check, gc down from 30.8% to 6.4% of wall time,
and a lower resident plateau than collecting every time. It works because the
collector is process-wide - any worker's collection breaks every other worker's
cycles too, so with many workers the calls are overwhelmingly redundant
duplicates rather than independently necessary.

Removing them entirely is slightly faster still, but it was the only
configuration whose RSS had not plateaued by the end of the run, so it is not
the default. EXPLICIT_GC_MIN_INTERVAL=0 restores the previous behaviour.

Collecting a younger generation was measured and rejected: gen 0 freed 1,136
objects against the full pass's 2,594,098, because objects surviving a 10-30s
fetch have already been promoted out of gen 0.

Two call sites are additionally fixed because they could never reclaim anything:

- Watch.py brotli: brotli.Compressor is not gc-tracked, so the collector cannot
  see it - `del` frees it by refcount. Over 60 x 2.2MB compressions, RSS growth
  was +0.9MB with neither mechanism, +0.2MB with gc.collect() alone, and +0.0MB
  with malloc_trim() alone or with both. malloc_trim is the load-bearing line
  and is kept; the collect cost ~31ms of stop-the-world per snapshot save for no
  reclamation.

- puppeteer quit(): runs twice per check (run()'s finally, then the worker's
  safety net) and nulls self.page/self.browser in its own finally blocks, so the
  second call closes nothing and breaks no cycles yet still paid for a full
  collection - 88 calls across 51 checks. Now only collects when it actually
  closed something.

Watch domain model for change detection monitoring.
ARCHITECTURE NOTE: Configuration Override Hierarchy
===================================================
This module implements Watch objects that inherit from dict (technical debt).
The dream architecture would use Pydantic for:
1. CHAIN RESOLUTION (Watch → Tag → Global Settings)
- Current: Manual resolution scattered across codebase
- Future: @computed_field properties with automatic resolution
- Examples: resolved_fetch_backend, resolved_restock_settings, etc.
2. DATABASE BACKEND ABSTRACTION
- Current: Domain model tightly coupled to file-based JSON storage
- Future: Domain model (Pydantic) separate from persistence layer
- Enables: Easy migration to PostgreSQL, MongoDB, etc.
3. TYPE SAFETY & VALIDATION
- Current: Dict access with no compile-time checks
- Future: Type hints, IDE autocomplete, validation at boundaries
See class model docstring for detailed explanation and examples.
See: processors/restock_diff/processor.py:184-192 for manual resolution example

"""
Watch domain model for monitoring URL changes.
Inherits from watch_base (which inherits dict) - see watch_base docstring for field documentation.
## Configuration Override Hierarchy (Chain Resolution)
The dream architecture uses a 3-level resolution chain:
Watch settings → Tag/Group settings → Global settings
Current implementation is MANUAL (see processor.py:184-192 for example):
- Processors manually check watch.get('field')
- Then loop through watch.tags to find first tag with overrides_watch=True
- Finally fall back to datastore['settings']['application']['field']
FUTURE: Pydantic-based chain resolution would enable:
```python
# Instead of manual resolution in every processor:
restock_settings = watch.get('restock_settings', {})
for tag_uuid in watch.get('tags'):
tag = datastore['settings']['application']['tags'][tag_uuid]
if tag.get('overrides_watch'):
restock_settings = tag.get('restock_settings', {})
break
# Clean computed properties with automatic resolution:
@computed_field
def resolved_restock_settings(self) -> dict:
if self.restock_settings:
return self.restock_settings
for tag_uuid in self.tags:
tag = self._datastore.get_tag(tag_uuid)
if tag.overrides_watch and tag.restock_settings:
return tag.restock_settings
return self._datastore.settings.restock_settings or {}
# Usage: watch.resolved_restock_settings (automatic, type-safe, tested once)
```
Benefits of Pydantic migration:
1. Single source of truth for resolution logic (not scattered across processors)
2. Type safety + IDE autocomplete (watch.resolved_fetch_backend vs dict navigation)
3. Database backend abstraction (domain model separate from persistence)
4. Automatic validation at boundaries
5. Self-documenting via type hints
6. Easy to test resolution independently
Resolution chain examples that would benefit:
- fetch_backend: watch → tag → global (see get_fetch_backend property)
- notification_urls: watch → tag → global
- time_between_check: watch → global (see threshold_seconds)
- restock_settings: watch → tag (see processors/restock_diff/processor.py:184-192)
- history_snapshot_max_length: watch → global (see save_history_blob:550-556)
- All processor_config_* settings could use tag overrides
## Database Backend Abstraction with Pydantic
Current: Watch inherits dict, tightly coupled to file-based JSON storage
Future: Domain model (Watch) separate from persistence layer
```python
# Domain model (database-agnostic)
class Watch(BaseModel):
uuid: str
url: str
# ... validation, business logic
# Pluggable backends
class DataStoreBackend(ABC):
def save_watch(self, watch: Watch): ...
def load_watch(self, uuid: str) -> Watch: ...
# Implementations: FileBackend, MongoBackend, PostgresBackend, etc.
```
This would enable:
- Easy migration between storage backends (file → postgres → mongodb)
- Pydantic handles serialization/deserialization automatically
- Domain logic stays clean (no storage concerns in Watch methods)
## Migration Path
Given existing codebase, incremental migration recommended:
1. Create Pydantic models alongside existing dict-based models
2. Add .to_pydantic() / .from_pydantic() bridge methods
3. Gradually migrate code to use Pydantic models
4. Remove dict inheritance once migration complete
See: watch_base docstring for technical debt discussion
See: processors/restock_diff/processor.py:184-192 for manual resolution example
See: Watch.py:550-556 for nested dict navigation that would become watch.resolved_*
