fix: Resolve v1.1.2-rc.1 production issues - Static files and metrics

Browse Source 
This release candidate fixes two critical production issues discovered in v1.1.2-rc.1:

1. CRITICAL: Static files returning 500 errors
   - HTTP monitoring middleware was accessing response.data on streaming responses
   - Fixed by checking direct_passthrough flag before accessing response data
   - Static files (CSS, JS, images) now load correctly
   - File: starpunk/monitoring/http.py

2. HIGH: Database metrics showing zero
   - Configuration key mismatch: config set METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE (singular),
     buffer read METRICS_SAMPLING_RATES (plural)
   - Fixed by standardizing on singular key name
   - Modified MetricsBuffer to accept both float and dict for flexibility
   - Changed default sampling from 10% to 100% for better visibility
   - Files: starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py, starpunk/config.py

Version: 1.1.2-rc.2

# v1.1.2-rc.1 Production Issues Investigation Report
**Date:** 2025-11-28
**Version:** v1.1.2-rc.1
**Investigator:** Developer Agent
**Status:** Issues Identified, Fixes Needed
## Executive Summary
Two critical issues identified in v1.1.2-rc.1 production deployment:
1. **CRITICAL**: Static files return 500 errors - site unusable (no CSS/JS)
2. **HIGH**: Database metrics showing zero - feature incomplete
Both issues have been traced to root causes and are ready for architect review.
---
## Issue 1: Static Files Return 500 Error
### Symptom
- All static files (CSS, JS, images) return HTTP 500
- Specifically: `https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com/static/css/style.css` fails
- Site is unusable without stylesheets
### Error Message
```
RuntimeError: Attempted implicit sequence conversion but the response object is in direct passthrough mode.
```
### Root Cause
**File:** `starpunk/monitoring/http.py:74-78`
```python
# Get response size
response_size = 0
if response.data: # <-- PROBLEM HERE
response_size = len(response.data)
elif hasattr(response, 'content_length') and response.content_length:
response_size = response.content_length
```
### Technical Analysis
The HTTP monitoring middleware's `after_request` hook attempts to access `response.data` to calculate response size for metrics. This works fine for normal responses but breaks for streaming responses.
**How Flask serves static files:**
1. Flask's `send_from_directory()` returns a streaming response
2. Streaming responses are in "direct passthrough mode"
3. Accessing `.data` on a streaming response triggers implicit sequence conversion
4. This raises `RuntimeError` because the response is not buffered
**Why this affects all static files:**
- ALL static files use `send_from_directory()`
- ALL are served as streaming responses
- The `after_request` hook runs for EVERY response
- Therefore ALL static files fail
### Impact
- **Severity:** CRITICAL
- **User Impact:** Site completely unusable - no styling, no JavaScript
- **Scope:** All static assets (CSS, JS, images, fonts, etc.)
### Proposed Fix Direction
The middleware needs to:
1. Check if response is in direct passthrough mode before accessing `.data`
2. Fall back to `content_length` for streaming responses
3. Handle cases where size cannot be determined (record as 0 or unknown)
**Code location for fix:** `starpunk/monitoring/http.py:74-78`
---
## Issue 2: Database Metrics Showing Zero
### Symptom
- Admin dashboard shows 0 for all database metrics
- Database pool statistics work correctly
- Only operation metrics (count, avg, min, max) show zero
### Root Cause Analysis
#### The Architecture Is Correct
**Config:** `starpunk/config.py:90`
```python
app.config["METRICS_ENABLED"] = os.getenv("METRICS_ENABLED", "true").lower() == "true"
```
✅ Defaults to enabled
**Pool Initialization:** `starpunk/database/pool.py:172`
```python
metrics_enabled = app.config.get('METRICS_ENABLED', True)
```
✅ Reads config correctly
**Connection Wrapping:** `starpunk/database/pool.py:74-77`
```python
if self.metrics_enabled:
from starpunk.monitoring import MonitoredConnection
return MonitoredConnection(conn, self.slow_query_threshold)
```
✅ Wraps connections when enabled
**Metric Recording:** `starpunk/monitoring/database.py:83-89`
```python
record_metric(
'database',
f'{query_type} {table_name}',
duration_ms,
metadata,
force=is_slow # Always record slow queries
)
```
✅ Calls record_metric correctly
#### The Real Problem: Sampling Rate
**File:** `starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py:105-110`
```python
self._sampling_rates = sampling_rates or {
"database": 0.1, # Only 10% of queries recorded!
"http": 0.1,
"render": 0.1,
}
```
**File:** `starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py:138-142`
```python
if not force:
sampling_rate = self._sampling_rates.get(operation_type, 0.1)
if random.random() > sampling_rate: # 90% chance to skip!
return False
```
### Why Metrics Show Zero
1. **Low traffic:** Production site has minimal activity
2. **10% sampling:** Only 1 in 10 database queries are recorded
3. **Fast queries:** Queries complete in < 1 second, so `force=False`
4. **Statistical probability:** With low traffic + 10% sampling = high chance of 0 metrics
Example scenario:
- 20 database queries during monitoring window
- 10% sampling = expect 2 metrics recorded
- But random sampling might record 0, 1, or 3 (statistical variation)
- Dashboard shows 0 because no metrics were sampled
### Why Slow Queries Would Work
If there were slow queries (>= 1.0 second), they would be recorded with `force=True`, bypassing sampling. But production queries are all fast.
### Impact
- **Severity:** HIGH (feature incomplete, not critical to operations)
- **User Impact:** Cannot see database performance metrics
- **Scope:** Database operation metrics only (pool stats work fine)
### Design Questions for Architect
1. **Is 10% sampling rate appropriate for production?**
- Pro: Reduces overhead, good for high-traffic sites
- Con: Insufficient for low-traffic sites like this one
- Alternative: Higher default (50-100%) or traffic-based adaptive sampling
2. **Should sampling be configurable?**
- Already supported via `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE` config (starpunk/config.py:92)
- Not documented in upgrade guide or user-facing docs
- Should this be exposed more prominently?
3. **Should there be a minimum recording guarantee?**
- E.g., "Always record at least 1 metric per minute"
- Or "First N operations always recorded"
- Ensures metrics never show zero even with low traffic
---
## Configuration Check
Checked production configuration sources:
### Environment Variables (from config.py)
- `METRICS_ENABLED`: defaults to `"true"` (ENABLED ✅)
- `METRICS_SLOW_QUERY_THRESHOLD`: defaults to `1.0` seconds
- `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE`: defaults to `1.0` (100%... wait, what?)
### WAIT - Config Discrepancy Detected!
**In config.py:92:**
```python
app.config["METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE"] = float(os.getenv("METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE", "1.0"))
```
Default: **1.0 (100%)**
**But this config is never used by MetricsBuffer!**
**In metrics.py:336-341:**
```python
try:
from flask import current_app
max_size = current_app.config.get('METRICS_BUFFER_SIZE', 1000)
sampling_rates = current_app.config.get('METRICS_SAMPLING_RATES', None) # Note: plural!
except (ImportError, RuntimeError):
```
**The config key mismatch:**
- Config.py sets: `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE` (singular, defaults to 1.0)
- Metrics.py reads: `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATES` (plural, expects dict)
- Result: Always returns `None`, falls back to hardcoded 10%
### Root Cause Confirmed
**The real issue is a configuration key mismatch:**
1. Config loads `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE` (singular) = 1.0
2. MetricsBuffer reads `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATES` (plural) expecting dict
3. Key mismatch returns None
4. Falls back to hardcoded 10% sampling
5. Low traffic + 10% = no metrics
---
## Verification Evidence
### Code References
- `starpunk/monitoring/http.py:74-78` - Static file error location
- `starpunk/monitoring/database.py:83-89` - Database metric recording
- `starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py:105-110` - Hardcoded sampling rates
- `starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py:336-341` - Config reading with wrong key
- `starpunk/config.py:92` - Config setting with different key
### Container Logs
Error message confirmed in production logs (user reported)
### Configuration Flow
1. `starpunk/config.py` → Sets `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE` (singular)
2. `starpunk/__init__.py` → Initializes app with config
3. `starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py` → Reads `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATES` (plural)
4. Mismatch → Falls back to 10%
---
## Recommendations for Architect
### Issue 1: Static Files (CRITICAL)
**Immediate action required:**
1. Fix `starpunk/monitoring/http.py` to handle streaming responses
2. Test with static files before any deployment
3. Consider adding integration test for static file serving
### Issue 2: Database Metrics (HIGH)
**Two problems to address:**
**Problem 2A: Config key mismatch**
- Fix either config.py or metrics.py to use same key name
- Decision needed: singular or plural?
- Singular (`METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE`) simpler if same rate for all types
- Plural (`METRICS_SAMPLING_RATES`) allows per-type customization
**Problem 2B: Default sampling rate**
- 10% may be too low for low-traffic sites
- Consider higher default (50-100%) for better visibility
- Or make sampling traffic-adaptive
### Design Questions
1. Should there be a minimum recording guarantee for zero metrics?
2. Should sampling rate be per-operation-type or global?
3. What's the right balance between overhead and visibility?
---
## Next Steps
1. **Architect Review:** Review findings and provide design decisions
2. **Fix Implementation:** Implement approved fixes
3. **Testing:** Comprehensive testing of both fixes
4. **Release:** Deploy v1.1.2-rc.2 with fixes

# v1.1.2-rc.2 Production Bug Fixes - Implementation Report
**Date:** 2025-11-28
**Developer:** Developer Agent
**Version:** 1.1.2-rc.2
**Status:** Fixes Complete, Tests Passed
## Executive Summary
Successfully implemented fixes for two production issues found in v1.1.2-rc.1:
1. **CRITICAL (Issue 1)**: Static files returning 500 errors - site completely unusable
2. **HIGH (Issue 2)**: Database metrics showing zero due to config mismatch
Both fixes implemented according to architect specifications. All 28 monitoring tests pass. Ready for production deployment.
---
## Issue 1: Static Files Return 500 Error (CRITICAL)
### Problem
HTTP middleware's `after_request` hook accessed `response.data` on streaming responses (used by Flask's `send_from_directory` for static files), causing:
```
RuntimeError: Attempted implicit sequence conversion but the response object is in direct passthrough mode.
```
### Impact
- ALL static files (CSS, JS, images) returned HTTP 500
- Site completely unusable without stylesheets
- Affected every page load
### Root Cause
The HTTP metrics middleware in `starpunk/monitoring/http.py:74-78` was checking `response.data` to calculate response size for metrics. Streaming responses cannot have their `.data` accessed without triggering an error.
### Solution Implemented
**File:** `starpunk/monitoring/http.py:73-86`
Added check for `direct_passthrough` mode before accessing response data:
```python
# Get response size
response_size = 0
# Check if response is in direct passthrough mode (streaming)
if hasattr(response, 'direct_passthrough') and response.direct_passthrough:
# For streaming responses, use content_length if available
if hasattr(response, 'content_length') and response.content_length:
response_size = response.content_length
# Otherwise leave as 0 (unknown size for streaming)
elif response.data:
# For buffered responses, we can safely get the data
response_size = len(response.data)
elif hasattr(response, 'content_length') and response.content_length:
response_size = response.content_length
```
### Verification
- Monitoring tests: 28/28 passed (including HTTP metrics tests)
- Static files now load without errors
- Metrics still recorded for static files (with size when available)
- Graceful fallback for unknown sizes (records as 0)
---
## Issue 2: Database Metrics Showing Zero (HIGH)
### Problem
Admin dashboard showed 0 for all database metrics despite metrics being enabled and database operations occurring.
### Impact
- Database performance monitoring feature incomplete
- No visibility into database operation performance
- Database pool statistics worked, but operation metrics didn't
### Root Cause
Configuration key mismatch:
- **`starpunk/config.py:92`**: Sets `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE` (singular) = 1.0 (100%)
- **`starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py:337`**: Reads `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATES` (plural) expecting dict
- **Result**: Always returned `None`, fell back to hardcoded 10% sampling
- **Consequence**: Low traffic + 10% sampling = no metrics recorded
### Solution Implemented
#### Part 1: Updated MetricsBuffer to Accept Float or Dict
**File:** `starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py:87-125`
Modified `MetricsBuffer.__init__` to handle both formats:
```python
def __init__(
self,
max_size: int = 1000,
sampling_rates: Optional[Union[Dict[OperationType, float], float]] = None
):
"""
Initialize metrics buffer
Args:
max_size: Maximum number of metrics to store
sampling_rates: Either:
- float: Global sampling rate for all operation types (0.0-1.0)
- dict: Mapping operation type to sampling rate
Default: 1.0 (100% sampling)
"""
self.max_size = max_size
self._buffer: Deque[Metric] = deque(maxlen=max_size)
self._lock = Lock()
self._process_id = os.getpid()
# Handle different sampling_rates types
if sampling_rates is None:
# Default to 100% sampling for all types
self._sampling_rates = {
"database": 1.0,
"http": 1.0,
"render": 1.0,
}
elif isinstance(sampling_rates, (int, float)):
# Global rate for all types
rate = float(sampling_rates)
self._sampling_rates = {
"database": rate,
"http": rate,
"render": rate,
}
else:
# Dict with per-type rates
self._sampling_rates = sampling_rates
```
#### Part 2: Fixed Configuration Reading
**File:** `starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py:349-361`
Changed from plural to singular config key:
```python
# Get configuration from Flask app if available
try:
from flask import current_app
max_size = current_app.config.get('METRICS_BUFFER_SIZE', 1000)
sampling_rate = current_app.config.get('METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE', 1.0) # Singular!
except (ImportError, RuntimeError):
# Flask not available or no app context
max_size = 1000
sampling_rate = 1.0 # Default to 100%
_metrics_buffer = MetricsBuffer(
max_size=max_size,
sampling_rates=sampling_rate # Pass float directly
)
```
#### Part 3: Updated Documentation
**File:** `starpunk/monitoring/metrics.py:76-79`
Updated class docstring to reflect 100% default:
```python
Per developer Q&A Q12:
- Configurable sampling rates per operation type
- Default 100% sampling (suitable for low-traffic sites) # Changed from 10%
- Slow queries always logged regardless of sampling
```
### Design Decision: 100% Default Sampling
Per architect review, changed default from 10% to 100% because:
- StarPunk targets single-user, low-traffic deployments
- 100% sampling has negligible overhead for typical usage
- Ensures metrics are always visible (better UX)
- Power users can reduce via `METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE` environment variable
### Verification
- Monitoring tests: 28/28 passed (including sampling rate tests)
- Database metrics now appear immediately
- Backwards compatible (still accepts dict for per-type rates)
- Config environment variable works correctly
---

---
## Production Deployment Notes
### Expected Behavior After Deployment
1. **Static files will load immediately** - no more 500 errors
2. **Database metrics will show non-zero values immediately** - 100% sampling
3. **Existing config still works** - backwards compatible
### Configuration
Users can adjust sampling if needed:
```bash
# Reduce sampling for high-traffic sites
METRICS_SAMPLING_RATE=0.1 # 10% sampling
# Or disable metrics entirely
METRICS_ENABLED=false
```
### Rollback Plan
If issues arise:
1. Revert to v1.1.2-rc.1 (will restore static file error)
2. Or revert to v1.1.1 (stable, no metrics features)
---
## Architect Review Required
Per architect review protocol, this implementation follows exact specifications from:
- Investigation Report: `docs/reports/2025-11-28-v1.1.2-rc.1-production-issues.md`
- Architect Review: `docs/reviews/2025-11-28-v1.1.2-rc.1-architect-review.md`
All fixes implemented as specified. No design decisions made independently.
---
## Next Steps
1. **Deploy v1.1.2-rc.2 to production**
2. **Monitor for 24 hours** - verify both fixes work
3. **If stable, tag as v1.1.2** (remove -rc suffix)
4. **Update deployment documentation** with new sampling rate defaults
