Summary

Reliability and code-quality hardening: fixes database transaction consistency (including a transactional outbox for voucher email delivery), adds bounds/validation on scheduling and email URLs, moves lazy imports to module level, improves error propagation in collectors, adds a real DB readiness check, and removes unused dependencies.

Changes

Bug fixes

  • M-2 — Transactional outbox for email notifications (services/ingestion/pipeline.py, services/email/notifications.py, services/scheduler.py, models/notification.py): Voucher alerts are staged into a new notification_outbox table in the same transaction as the pipeline run, so delivery state survives commit failures and is reliably retried until delivered. Each row carries a stable idempotency key (voucher:{post_id}:{content_hash}) sent to Resend as the Idempotency-Key header, so replaying a pending row can never deliver a duplicate email. A successful send marks the row SENT and sets posts.is_notified in one commit; the pipeline delivers immediately and the scheduler sweeps remaining PENDING rows every 60s, marking them FAILED after 5 attempts.
  • M-4 — Clamp poll_interval_minutes (services/dispatcher.py): Config values are now clamped to [1, 43200] minutes, preventing busy-looping (0/negative) and timedelta overflow (huge values) in the scheduler.
  • M-7 — Process boot time set at startup (services/dispatcher.py, main.py): PROCESS_BOOT_AT was captured at module import; under uvicorn --preload that is stale. A set_process_boot_at() call in the app lifespan now records the real process start, fixing lease-staleness checks.

Security / robustness

  • L-9 — DB-backed readiness check (api/routers/health.py): /health now runs SELECT count(*) FROM sources via the session dependency instead of returning a static "ok", so it reports unhealthy when critical tables are missing.
  • Collector error propagation (providers/{website,pearsonvue,rss,training_provider}/collector.py): Broad except Exception → return [] replaced with specific httpx handling. Auth-blocked (401/403) and transient errors return []; unexpected errors re-raise so the dispatcher applies backoff/unrecoverable handling instead of silently marking the source successful. The RSS httpx→urllib fallback is preserved for genuine transport failures.

Code quality

  • M-8 / follow-up — Move lazy imports to module level: groq, google.genai, resend, urllib.request, soupsieve, asyncpg.exceptions, urljoin, cast/CursorResult, settings/SourceType, asyncio, and startup imports in main.py now import at module scope, giving clear startup errors for missing deps and enabling full static dependency tracking.
  • CI — ruff format fix (services/dispatcher.py): Fixed the failing ruff format --check job by reformatting a module-level blank line.

Dependency cleanup

  • Removed unused apscheduler and pgvector from pyproject.toml (never imported by the app).

Tests

  • Added tests/test_notification_outbox.py: idempotency-key stability, staging persists a PENDING row before commit, delivery success marks SENT + is_notified, failures stay PENDING and FAIL after max attempts, unconfigured email is a no-op, and the scheduler sweep never raises.
  • Extended tests/test_email_sender.py to verify the Idempotency-Key passthrough.
  • Added tests for poll_interval_minutes clamping and set_process_boot_at; updated /health tests to override the DB session dependency.
  • Full suite: 198 passed, 15 skipped. ruff and mypy clean.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates startup and health checks, constrains dispatcher polling intervals, classifies provider HTTP failures, batches notification commits, and moves selected imports and dependencies to module scope.

Changes

Runtime updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Startup and database health
voucherbot/api/routers/health.py, tests/test_main.py, voucherbot/main.py
The health endpoint queries the sources table. Startup records the process boot time. Tests override the database session dependency.
Dispatcher timing controls
voucherbot/services/dispatcher.py, tests/test_dispatcher.py
The dispatcher adds set_process_boot_at() and clamps polling intervals between 1 and 43,200 minutes. Tests cover the boundaries and boot timestamps.
Provider HTTP error handling
voucherbot/providers/*/collector.py
Collectors handle authentication and transient HTTP failures separately. Unexpected exceptions are logged and re-raised where specified.
Notification batch finalization
voucherbot/services/ingestion/pipeline.py
Pending notifications are processed before one final commit. Successful notification counts are stored in stats.
Module-level dependency loading
pyproject.toml, voucherbot/database/bootstrap.py, voucherbot/services/{ai/analyzer.py,email/sender.py,scheduler.py}
Selected dependencies and imports move to module scope. apscheduler and pgvector are removed from runtime dependencies.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8eb0c

The PR improves atomic notification updates and adds database-backed readiness, but notifications may still be lost after successful delivery if the state commit fails, while the readiness endpoint may hang for up to 120 seconds during database degradation. These bounded correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Restore PROCESS_BOOT_AT after each test.

Both tests mutate the module-global value. The explicit-value test leaves it set to January 1, 2026. Later tests that exercise lease acquisition can use this value and become collection-order dependent. Save the original value and restore it during fixture teardown.

Make the readiness probe fail fast.

get_session applies a 120-second statement timeout. If the database is degraded or the sources query is blocked, /health can remain pending for up to 120 seconds. Use a dedicated health-session timeout that fails within a few seconds and return the readiness failure response after the timeout.

Comment thread voucherbot/services/ingestion/pipeline.py Outdated
Persist delivery intent (notification_outbox) in the same transaction as
the pipeline so delivery state survives commit failures, and retry PENDING
rows until SENT. Each send carries a stable idempotency key (post id +
content hash) sent to Resend as the Idempotency-Key header, so replaying a
pending row can never deliver a duplicate email. Successful delivery marks
the outbox row SENT and posts.is_notified in one commit; the scheduler
sweeps and retries PENDING rows a short interval apart.

- add NotificationOutbox model + k2l3m4n5o6p7 migration
- send_email() supports idempotency_key via Resend SendOptions
- pipeline Stage 4 stages alerts before the final commit, then delivers
- scheduler runs a background retry sweep and caps sleep while pending
- fix ruff format in dispatcher.py (CI formatter failure)
- tests: idempotency key, staging, delivery success/failure/retry, sweep
