A three-node cascade publishes 13-16 events and each one crossed to the
event loop on its own. They are one `call_soon_threadsafe` now — whatever
was published between two turns of the loop goes over together — and every
subscriber still receives every event, oldest still dropped first when one
falls behind.
The socket end of the same path:
- **any frame from the client ended its stream.** `receive_text` was
awaited once, outside the loop, so a keepalive — or anything else a
client decided to say — satisfied it and was read as the client going
away. It is recreated per iteration; only a disconnect ends the stream.
- events go out in one frame per wave (`{"type": "batch", "events": [...]}`,
capped at 64), serialised once with orjson rather than per client with
the stdlib's `json.dumps` through `send_json`. The client unpacks a batch
and still understands single frames, so an older engine behind a newer
bundle keeps working.
- authenticating and building the snapshot happen on a thread. Both were on
the event loop: one is a database round trip, the other reads the whole
of state, per connect and again per `dashboard_changed` per panel.
`Pipeline.values()` — what that snapshot is — no longer SCANs the whole
Redis namespace. It scanned five bookkeeping keys for every message to find
the messages; `RedisState` keeps a set of the names beside them and answers
from it. Maintained wherever a message is written, so a seeded value or a
deleted flow keeps it exact.
On the client, while in the same file:
- a `node_health` event invalidates the flow's detail. The canvas draws
health from the server-derived `issues`, so a node going down or
recovering only showed on mount, navigation or a rebuild. The store had
a health map of its own that nothing ever read; it and `useNodeHealth`
are gone rather than wired up, since the server's view is the one the
canvas already uses.
- a reconnect invalidates the five key families this socket feeds instead
of the entire cache, and the backoff is jittered. The usual reason a
socket dropped is the engine restarting, so every tab and every wall
panel refetched everything, together, at the moment it was least able to
answer.
- a frame that will not parse costs the frame, not the connection. It was
the one unguarded `JSON.parse` in the app; an exception there escaped to
`window.onerror` and left whatever it had already applied behind.
