Severity: 🟡 Medium (performance)
agora.py:34–57: the early-out at line 56 ("Nothing new since last update") only fires after all checkpoint files have been read and parsed. For a workspace with hundreds of checkpoints, this is O(n) on every render that triggers an auto-update.
Suggested fix
Short-circuit on count check before parsing:
cp_files = sorted(_list_checkpoint_files(cfg), key=lambda f: f.name)
cp_total = len(cp_files)
mp = _mneme_path(workspace, cfg)
fm, body = _load_narrative(mp)
cp_hwm = int(fm.get("checkpoints_processed", 0))
py_hwm = _mneme_pythia_hwm(fm) if fm else 0
py_total = _count_pythia_entries() # cheap line count
if cp_total <= cp_hwm and py_total <= py_hwm and body.strip():
return (False, "Nothing new since last update.")
# Only load checkpoints we actually need (cp_hwm onwards)
new_checkpoints = []
for fp in cp_files[cp_hwm:]:
cp = _load_checkpoint_file(fp)
if cp: new_checkpoints.append(cp)For Pythia, maintain a .pythia_log.jsonl.count sidecar updated on every append.
Acceptance criteria
- Bench: with 500 checkpoints and no new ones,
_memory_do_update returns in <50ms.
