From f15a1b1b581a9742dbe3ca5ae7372c814d67af88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: teernisse Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 00:52:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Add persistent metadata cache with atomic writes Introduce MetadataCache class in metadata-cache.ts that persists extracted session metadata to ~/.cache/session-viewer/metadata.json for fast warm starts across server restarts. Key features: - Invalidation keyed on (mtimeMs, size): If either changes, entry is re-extracted via Tier 3 parsing. This catches both content changes and file truncation/corruption. - Dirty-flag write-behind: Only writes to disk when entries have changed, coalescing multiple discovery passes into a single write operation. - Atomic writes: Uses temp file + rename pattern to prevent corruption from crashes during write. Safe for concurrent server restarts. - Stale entry pruning: Removes entries for files that no longer exist on disk during the save operation. - Graceful degradation: Missing or corrupt cache file triggers fallback to Tier 3 extraction for all files (cache rebuilt on next save). Cache file format: { "version": 1, "entries": { "/path/to/session.jsonl": { "mtimeMs": 1234567890, "size": 12345, "messageCount": 42, "firstPrompt": "...", "summary": "...", "firstTimestamp": "...", "lastTimestamp": "..." } } } Test coverage includes: - Cache hit/miss/invalidation behavior - Dirty flag triggers write only when entries changed - Concurrent save coalescing - Stale entry pruning on save Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 --- src/server/services/metadata-cache.ts | 128 +++++++++++++++++++ tests/unit/metadata-cache.test.ts | 174 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 302 insertions(+) create mode 100644 src/server/services/metadata-cache.ts create mode 100644 tests/unit/metadata-cache.test.ts diff --git a/src/server/services/metadata-cache.ts b/src/server/services/metadata-cache.ts new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2819430 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/server/services/metadata-cache.ts @@ -0,0 +1,128 @@ +import fs from "fs/promises";
