Executive Summary
Phase 3 of v1.1.2 is now complete. This phase adds feed statistics monitoring to the admin dashboard and OPML 2.0 export functionality. All deferred items from the initial Phase 3 implementation have been completed.
Completed Features
- Feed Statistics Dashboard - Real-time monitoring of feed performance
- OPML 2.0 Export - Feed subscription list for feed readers
Implementation Time
- Feed Statistics Dashboard: ~1 hour
- OPML Export: ~0.5 hours
- Testing: ~0.5 hours
- Total: ~2 hours (as estimated)
1. Feed Statistics Dashboard
What Was Built
Added comprehensive feed statistics to the existing admin metrics dashboard at /admin/metrics-dashboard.
Implementation Details
Backend - Business Metrics (starpunk/monitoring/business.py):
- Added
get_feed_statistics()function to aggregate feed metrics - Combines data from MetricsBuffer and FeedCache
- Provides format-specific statistics:
- Requests by format (RSS, ATOM, JSON)
- Generated vs cached counts
- Average generation times
- Cache hit/miss rates
- Format popularity percentages
Backend - Admin Routes (starpunk/routes/admin.py):
- Updated
metrics_dashboard()to include feed statistics - Updated
/admin/metricsendpoint to include feed stats in JSON response - Added defensive error handling with fallback data
Frontend - Dashboard Template (templates/admin/metrics_dashboard.html):
- Added "Feed Statistics" section with three metric cards:
- Feed Requests by Format (counts)
- Feed Cache Statistics (hits, misses, hit rate, entries)
- Feed Generation Performance (average times)
- Added two Chart.js visualizations:
- Format Popularity (pie chart)
- Cache Efficiency (doughnut chart)
- Updated JavaScript to initialize and refresh feed charts
- Auto-refresh every 10 seconds via htmx
Statistics Tracked
By Format:
- Total requests (RSS, ATOM, JSON Feed)
- Generated count (cache misses)
- Cached count (cache hits)
- Average generation time (ms)
Cache Metrics:
- Total cache hits
- Total cache misses
- Hit rate (percentage)
- Current cached entries
- LRU evictions
Aggregates:
- Total feed requests across all formats
- Format percentage breakdown
Testing
Unit Tests (tests/test_monitoring_feed_statistics.py):
- 6 tests covering
get_feed_statistics()function - Tests structure, calculations, and edge cases
Integration Tests (tests/test_admin_feed_statistics.py):
- 5 tests covering dashboard and metrics endpoints
- Tests authentication, data presence, and structure
- Tests actual feed request tracking
All tests passing: ✅ 11/11
2. OPML 2.0 Export
What Was Built
Created /opml.xml endpoint that exports a subscription list in OPML 2.0 format, listing all three feed formats.
Implementation Details
OPML Generator (starpunk/feeds/opml.py):
- New
generate_opml()function - Creates OPML 2.0 compliant XML document
- Lists all three feed formats (RSS, ATOM, JSON Feed)
- RFC 822 date format for
dateCreated - XML escaping for site name
- Removes trailing slashes from URLs
Route (starpunk/routes/public.py):
- New
/opml.xmlendpoint - Returns
application/xmlMIME type - Includes cache headers (same TTL as feeds)
- Public access (no authentication required per CQ8)
Feed Discovery (templates/base.html):
- Added
<link>tag for OPML discovery - Type:
application/xml+opml - Enables feed readers to auto-discover subscription list
OPML Structure
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opml version="2.0">
<head>
<title>Site Name Feeds</title>
<dateCreated>RFC 822 date</dateCreated>
</head>
<body>
<outline type="rss" text="Site Name - RSS" xmlUrl="https://site/feed.rss"/>
<outline type="rss" text="Site Name - ATOM" xmlUrl="https://site/feed.atom"/>
<outline type="rss" text="Site Name - JSON Feed" xmlUrl="https://site/feed.json"/>
</body>
</opml>
Standards Compliance
- OPML 2.0: http://opml.org/spec2.opml
- All
outlineelements usetype="rss"(standard convention for feeds) - RFC 822 date format in
dateCreated - Valid XML with proper escaping
Testing
Unit Tests (tests/test_feeds_opml.py):
- 7 tests covering
generate_opml()function - Tests structure, content, escaping, and validation
Integration Tests (tests/test_routes_opml.py):
- 8 tests covering
/opml.xmlendpoint - Tests HTTP response, content type, caching, discovery
All tests passing: ✅ 15/15
Testing Summary
Test Coverage
- Total new tests: 26
- OPML tests: 15 (7 unit + 8 integration)
- Feed statistics tests: 11 (6 unit + 5 integration)
- All tests passing: ✅ 26/26
Test Execution
uv run pytest tests/test_feeds_opml.py tests/test_routes_opml.py \

User-Facing Changes
Admin Dashboard
- New "Feed Statistics" section showing:
- Feed requests by format
- Cache hit/miss rates
- Generation performance
- Visual charts (format distribution, cache efficiency)
OPML Endpoint
- New public endpoint:
/opml.xml - Feed readers can import to subscribe to all feeds
- Discoverable via HTML
<link>tag
Metrics API
/admin/metricsendpoint now includes feed statistics
Developer Notes
Philosophy Adherence
- ✅ Minimal code - no unnecessary complexity
- ✅ Standards compliant (OPML 2.0)
- ✅ Well tested (26 tests, 100% passing)
- ✅ Clear documentation
- ✅ Simple implementation
Integration Points
- Feed statistics integrate with existing MetricsBuffer
- Uses existing FeedCache for cache statistics
- Extends existing metrics dashboard (no new UI paradigm)
- Follows existing Chart.js + htmx pattern
Performance
- Feed statistics calculated on-demand (no background jobs)
- OPML generation is lightweight (simple XML construction)
- Cache headers prevent excessive regeneration
- Auto-refresh dashboard uses existing htmx polling
Phase 3 Status
Originally Scoped (from Phase 3 plan)
- ✅ Feed caching with ETag support (completed in earlier commit)
- ✅ Feed statistics dashboard (completed this session)
- ✅ OPML 2.0 export (completed this session)
All Items Complete
Phase 3 is 100% complete - no deferred items remain.
Next Steps
Phase 3 is complete. The architect should review this implementation and determine next steps for v1.1.2.
Possible next phases:
- v1.1.2 Phase 4 (if planned)
- v1.1.2 release candidate
- v1.2.0 planning
Verification Checklist
- ✅ All tests passing (26/26)
- ✅ Feed statistics display correctly in dashboard
- ✅ OPML endpoint accessible and valid
- ✅ OPML discovery link present in HTML
- ✅ Cache headers on OPML endpoint
- ✅ Authentication required for dashboard
- ✅ Public access to OPML (no auth)
- ✅ CHANGELOG updated
- ✅ Documentation complete
- ✅ No regressions in existing tests
Conclusion
Phase 3 of v1.1.2 is complete. All deferred items from the initial implementation have been finished:
- Feed statistics dashboard provides real-time monitoring
- OPML 2.0 export enables easy feed subscription
The implementation follows StarPunk's philosophy of minimal, well-tested, standards-compliant code. All 26 new tests pass, and the features integrate cleanly with existing systems.
Status: ✅ READY FOR ARCHITECT REVIEW
