Closes #142

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Enhanced the /healthz endpoint with per-corridor history freshness details.
    • Reports the latest stored record, timestamp, and age in seconds and human-readable form.
    • Indicates healthy process status independently from history availability.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevents fabricated age values when no history is available.
    • Returns null when history is unavailable or empty and safely handles future timestamps.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The /healthz endpoint now returns process status and per-corridor freshness data from stored records. It reports timestamps and ages, clamps future timestamps to zero age, and returns data: null when usable history is unavailable.

Changes

Health freshness reporting

Layer / File(s) Summary
Health response and history aggregation
server/api.go
/healthz returns status and per-corridor record freshness. The response includes UTC timestamps, nonnegative ages, and human-readable age values.
Health response validation and documentation
server/api_test.go, README.md
Tests cover configured, empty, and unavailable history. The README documents the response semantics.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 172fe

The health endpoint can currently report a fabricated age for data with an unknown timestamp, potentially misleading freshness-based deployment decisions. The related tests also do not validate compatibility with recorded inputs, so these issues should be addressed before merge.

Held for maintainer review. This is not a rejection — auto-merge only lands changes it can verify mechanically, and this one needs a human to look at:

Nothing further is needed from you unless a point above is something you can fix (an unticked checklist item, or a failing check). @adelekevictor12, thanks for the PR.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Replace the direct runstore.Record fixture with recorded bytes.

appendHealthRecord constructs the persisted wire type directly. The writer and reader can agree on the same incorrect shape, so this test does not validate recorded-input compatibility.

Store immutable fixture bytes under testdata/snapshots. Use snapshot.Replayer to create the health test state. Do not use a live endpoint.

Prompt for AI Agents

Replace appendHealthRecord in server/api_test.go with fixture setup that reads immutable recorded bytes from testdata/snapshots and replays them through snapshot.Replayer. Do not instantiate runstore.Record, runstore.Reference, or runstore.Rung in the health freshness tests. Preserve assertions for null data, populated corridor data, recorded_at, age_seconds, and age_human.

As per path instructions, tests must use testdata/snapshots through snapshot.Replayer and must not construct fixtures from package wire structs.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Treat a zero RecordedAt value as unknown.

A runstore.Record can contain a zero RecordedAt value. This code then returns "0001-01-01T00:00:00Z" and a very large age. That is fabricated freshness data.

Skip records where rec.RecordedAt.IsZero(). Keep data: null when no corridor has a usable timestamp.

Prompt for AI Agents

In server/api.go healthData, add a rec.RecordedAt.IsZero() check with the existing nil-record guard. Skip that corridor when the timestamp is zero. Preserve the existing nil map result when no valid corridors remain. Add a health endpoint test that appends or replays a record with no recorded_at and asserts that no freshness figure is returned for it.

As per path instructions, “unknown must be reported as unknown, never defaulted, guessed or averaged away.”

  • Scope: matches Closes #142

This is the right shape for the problem. /healthz previously returned a constant {"status":"ok"}, which on a -history-first deployment answers the wrong question: the process being alive says nothing about whether the data it is serving is current. The live instance is presently serving a reading 9 days old because the measure workflow cannot push (#63), and nothing in the health surface could express that.

Reporting the age of the served data makes that visible to monitoring rather than to whoever happens to read a corridor response closely.

Merging now.
