perf(siteeventlog): pace the site_events purge burst — per-tick delete ceiling + accelerated catch-up (row 34)
Measured the unbounded purge burst and found it can force a full ten-table
snapshot resync, then bounded it. No purge-exemption path was added — the
deletes are still CDC-captured like any other write, which stays ruled out
by design; what changed is how many a single tick performs.
MEASURED (harness: real EventLogPurgeService over a real LocalDb file with
site_events genuinely RegisterReplicated, plus a two-node loopback gRPC
replication pair; docker rig untouched):
393 bytes/row incl. indexes => a 1 GB event log holds ~2,731,947 rows.
Expiring all of them in ONE tick: 285 s, 2,731,947 oplog rows,
284 MB oplog payload, 2.73 M row-version tombstones (7-day retention),
i.e. 2.7x LocalDb's MaxOplogRows default of 1,000,000. Crossing that makes
the 60 s maintenance tick prune the oplog and set needs_snapshot — a FULL
snapshot of all ten replicated tables, bought by a routine retention purge.
The resident backlog is produced-minus-drained, so a healthy peer blunts it:
on loopback the same burst peaked at 391,424 and cleared in 6.0 min. That is
the problem, not the reassurance — the old safety margin was a function of
peer throughput and vanished with the peer down. A bounded tick is safe at
any peer speed.
Drain is not a bottleneck: 7.6k-19.8k tombstones/s (20k / 500k / 2.73M runs).
SHIPPED:
- SiteEventLogOptions.MaxPurgedRowsPerTick (default 250,000; 0 = unlimited
escape hatch, negatives rejected). One SHARED budget across the retention
purge and the cap trim — two independently-capped phases would let a tick
emit twice the intended burst. 4x margin under MaxOplogRows, which is also
shared with every other replicated table's ordinary traffic.
- SiteEventLogOptions.PurgeCatchUpInterval (default 5 min, validated > 0 and
<= PurgeInterval). Without it pacing would make retention converge in 11
DAYS at the daily cadence; with it the worst case converges in ~11 ticks
(~55 min), every burst bounded. 5 min rather than 1 so ticks cannot outrun
the peer's drain and re-accumulate the backlog.
- A ceiling is claimed only when work genuinely remains (bounded EXISTS probe),
so an expired set landing exactly on the budget does not arm a no-op retry.
- Visibility: rate-limited (15 min) Warning naming the ceiling and the
accelerated interval, plus an unthrottled counter
scadabridge.site.event_log.purge_ceiling_hits — its SHAPE distinguishes a
backlog converging from a site whose event rate outruns one paced tick.
- The purge loop is a delay loop rather than a PeriodicTimer, so its cadence
now anchors to the END of the previous purge. Documented.
ROW-33 INTERPLAY VERIFIED: pacing lowers each spike and lengthens total purge
duration, but a full 250k tick drains in ~23 s (~4 min even at 10x a real
link's penalty) against the 15-minute sustained dwell and a 5-minute gap to
the next tick. The UNPACED 2.73M burst had only 2.5x of margin (6.0 min), so
pacing makes the badge assumption robust rather than merely preserving it.
Docs travel together: Component-SiteEventLogging.md, topology-guide.md
("Reading the replication backlog" + the row-33 badge note), CLAUDE.md's
purge-burst sentence, and a dated measurement/decision note under docs/plans/.
Fail-before: the new behavioural tests do not compile against the pre-fix
service (RunPurge was void); with PurgeBudget neutralised to always-unlimited,
6 of the new tests fail and all 19 pre-existing ones pass.
Tests: SiteEventLogging 93/93, Commons 715/715, HealthMonitoring 115/115,
Host 505/505. Solution build clean.

- `site_events.id` changed from autoincrement INTEGER to an application-minted **GUID**. Last-writer-wins keys on the primary key, so two nodes independently minting `id=1,2,3…` would destroy each other's events rather than merge them. The event-log read path uses a composite `(timestamp, id)` keyset cursor with an **opaque string** continuation token; `EventLogEntry.Id` and both `ContinuationToken`s are `string`/`string?` on the site↔central Akka DTOs.

- `ScadaBridge:OperationTracking:ConnectionString`, `ScadaBridge:SiteEventLog:DatabasePath` and — as of Phase 2 — `ScadaBridge:StoreAndForward:SqliteDbPath` + `ScadaBridge:Database:SiteDbPath` are all **migration-only** — nothing reads them but `SiteLocalDbLegacyMigrator`, which copies a pre-Phase-1 file in once (deterministic `mig-{NodeName}-{legacyId}` event ids, `INSERT OR IGNORE`, runs AFTER `RegisterReplicated` so migrated rows replicate) and renames it `.migrated`. Delete the keys once a node has migrated.

- **Replication is default-OFF and opt-in** via `LocalDb:Replication:PeerAddress` + a matching `ApiKey` on both nodes. `LocalDbSyncAuthInterceptor` is **fail-closed**: no configured key means no sync stream is accepted at all, so a key typo does not degrade to unauthenticated replication — the pair simply stops converging. The sync endpoint shares the existing site gRPC h2c listener (8083); no new port. Rig posture: **site-a replicated, site-b/site-c deliberately not**, so both states are proven side-by-side. Status surfaces on the site health report as `LocalDbReplicationConnected` / `LocalDbOplogBacklog` (both nullable — null means "no data", NOT "disconnected with an empty backlog") and as `localdb_*` Prometheus series. **A transient backlog spike is expected daily and is not a fault:** the `site_events` retention purge (and the storage-cap trim) is CDC-captured like any other write — there is deliberately no purge-exemption path — so the backlog jumps by the deleted batch size and drains as the peer acks it; the purge logs an Information note saying so on a replication-enabled node (`SiteEventLogReplicationCheck`, supplied by the Host from `SiteLocalDbSetup.ReplicationIsConfigured` so SiteEventLogging never reads LocalDb config itself). Healthy = `LocalDbReplicationConnected` stays true and the backlog returns to ~0; see `docs/deployment/topology-guide.md` → *Reading the replication backlog*. Note `ZbTelemetryOptions.Meters` is an **allowlist** (`SiteServiceRegistration.ObservedMeters`); an unlisted meter exports nothing, silently.

Healthy = `LocalDbReplicationConnected` stays true and the backlog returns to ~0; see `docs/deployment/topology-guide.md` → *Reading the replication backlog*. **That spike is PACED as of row 34 (2026-08-15)** — `ScadaBridge:SiteEventLog:MaxPurgedRowsPerTick` (default **250 000**, `0` = unlimited escape hatch) is a per-tick delete ceiling **shared** by the retention purge and the cap trim, and a ceiling-limited tick reschedules after `PurgeCatchUpInterval` (default **5 min**) instead of the daily `PurgeInterval` so retention still converges (~11 ticks ≈ 55 min for the worst case, vs 11 days without the acceleration). Measured worst case, unpaced: a 1 GB event log holds **~2.73 M rows at 393 B/row**, and expiring all of them in one tick took 285 s and queued **2 731 947 oplog rows — 2.7x LocalDb's `MaxOplogRows` default of 1 000 000**, i.e. enough to make the maintenance tick prune the oplog and flag a **full ten-table snapshot resync**. **The subtlety that makes pacing the right fix rather than a bigger `MaxOplogRows`:** the *resident* backlog is `produced − drained`, so a healthy peer blunts it — on a loopback pair the same 2.73 M burst peaked at only **391 k** and drained in 6.0 min. The overrun is therefore **conditional on peer throughput** (breached outright with the peer down; breached at ~1.5 M if the peer runs at half loopback speed), and a 250 k ceiling makes the outcome independent of the peer instead. Drain speed itself is not a bottleneck (7.6–19.8 k tombstones/s measured), so a full 250 k tick clears far inside row 33's 15-minute sustained dwell — verified at 2x a tick (500 k drained in 46 s). The purge loop is now a delay loop rather than a `PeriodicTimer`, so its cadence anchors to the END of the previous purge. Ceiling hits log a rate-limited (15 min) Warning and always increment `scadabridge.site.event_log.purge_ceiling_hits` — read the counter's shape: a run that stops is a backlog converging, hits that never stop mean the ceiling is mis-sized for that site's event rate. Measurement + decision record: `docs/plans/2026-08-15-site-events-purge-burst-measurement.md`. Note `ZbTelemetryOptions.Meters` is an **allowlist** (`SiteServiceRegistration.ObservedMeters`); an unlisted meter exports nothing, silently.

- Design: **scadaproj** `docs/plans/2026-07-19-scadabridge-localdb-design.md` (that doc lives in the umbrella repo, not here); Phase 1 plan + Phase 2 gate are here under `docs/plans/`. Phase 2 **deleted** `SiteReplicationActor`, its `ReplicationMessages`, StoreAndForward's `ReplicationService`, and `StoreAndForwardStorage.ReplaceAllAsync` — do not reintroduce them:
|
||||
|

- CDC replication does all three jobs now: config deploys reach the standby as ordinary row changes — **the standby makes no fetch at all** during a deploy (`SiteReconciliationActor`'s node-STARTUP fetch when central reports gaps is a different, surviving path) — and buffer mutations replicate via triggers on `sf_messages`. `ReplaceAllAsync` was a destructive delete-all-then-insert-all resync and is **unsafe to reintroduce**: a mass DELETE on a replicated table would be captured and shipped to the peer. LocalDb's snapshot resync merges per row under LWW and never deletes, which is also why the old N1 directional-authority guard is gone — there is no wipe left to gate.
