Prod runs 3 uvicorn workers, but the in-process subscription notifier was started in every worker's lifespan (it was written assuming a single-worker deploy). Its sweep fetches recent-forecast/archive data from Open-Meteo on a 15-min timer independent of any request, so running it 3× tripled the background upstream load against a shared quota — the source of the overnight 429/503 rate-limit errors in logs/errors, and 3× redundant subscription scans. Elect one worker to own the notifier via a non-blocking exclusive flock on a lockfile (THERMOGRAPH_SINGLETON_LOCK): the first worker wins and holds the fd for its lifetime; others stand down; the OS releases the lock if the leader dies, so a restart re-elects cleanly. Unset (single worker / dev / tests) always wins, so behavior there is unchanged. Mirrors the shared-metrics store's env-selected cross-worker coordination. The neighbor warmer stays per-worker on purpose: each worker drains its own request-fed queue, so gating it would leave non-leader queues undrained. - backend/singleton.py: flock-based leader election (claim()). - backend/app.py: gate notify.start() on singleton.claim(). - deploy/thermograph.service: default THERMOGRAPH_SINGLETON_LOCK to data/notifier.lock (needs the unit reinstalled on prod to take effect). - deploy/thermograph.env.example: document it alongside WORKERS. - Tests: leader election — single-worker default, first-wins, idempotent re-claim, second-holder stands down, re-election after release. 183 passed.

"""Single-instance leader election for in-process background jobs.
|
|
|
|
With multiple uvicorn workers each worker process runs its own app lifespan, so a
|
|
background thread started there runs once *per worker*. That is correct for the
|
|
neighbor warmer (each worker drains its own request-fed queue) but wrong for the
|
|
subscription notifier: its periodic sweep scans every subscription and issues
|
|
upstream forecast/archive fetches on a timer, independent of any request. Running
|
|
it in N workers multiplies the Open-Meteo quota use N-fold (the source of the
|
|
overnight 429/503 rate-limit errors after prod went to 3 workers) and does the
|
|
same DB scan N times.
|
|
|
|
``claim`` elects one worker to own such jobs via a non-blocking exclusive advisory
|
|
lock (``flock``) on a lockfile:
|
|
|
|
* the first worker to call it acquires the lock and holds the fd for the process
|
|
lifetime, so the lock is never dropped while it lives -> returns ``True``;
|
|
* other workers fail the non-blocking lock and stand down -> return ``False``;
|
|
* the OS releases the lock when the leader exits, so a restart (or a crash) lets a
|
|
surviving/new worker win on its next call -> clean re-election, no stale state.
|
|
|
|
No lockfile configured (single-worker deploy, dev, tests) => always the leader.
|
|
This mirrors the metrics store's env-selected coordination: unset keeps the
|
|
zero-dependency single-worker behavior; a path opts into cross-worker arbitration.
