Issue #189: Svelte 5 Migration - Update test suite compatibility

Status: RESOLVED

Findings

Svelte version in package.json (line 68):

"svelte": "^5.47.1"

Testing library version (line 55):

"@testing-library/svelte": "^5.3.1"

Both Svelte 5 and the corresponding testing library are installed. The migration appears complete.

Issue #194: Fix Async Blocking Operations in Search Paths

Status: PARTIAL - NEEDS VERIFICATION

Findings

Many instances of blocking file I/O found in the codebase:

terraphim-session-analyzer:

// src/parser.rs:31
let file = File::open(path)

// src/patterns/knowledge_graph.rs:220
std::fs::write(&cache_path, json)

// src/patterns/loader.rs:62
let content = std::fs::read_to_string(path.as_ref())

terraphim-markdown-parser:

// src/main.rs:6
markdown = std::fs::read_to_string(path)?;

Note: Some of these may be in CLI tools (acceptable blocking), but any in async server contexts need tokio::fs.

Recommendation

Audit each usage to determine if it's in an async context. Server-side async code should use tokio::fs.

GO/NO-GO: PARTIAL - Audit required

Issue #195: Optimize Knowledge Graph Concurrent Access

Status: NOT VALIDATED

Findings

Requires detailed analysis of terraphim_rolegraph crate for mutex usage patterns.

GO/NO-GO: PENDING ANALYSIS

Issue #196: Fix Excessive Cloning in Search Pipelines

Status: NOT VALIDATED

Findings

Requires profiling to identify specific clone hotspots.

Issue #197: Implement Connection Pooling for HTTP Clients

Status: IMPLEMENTED

Findings

File: crates/terraphim_service/src/http_client.rs

Connection pooling is fully implemented with multiple client types:

// Lines 36-44: Default client with pooling
static DEFAULT_CLIENT: Lazy<Client> = Lazy::new(|| {
    Client::builder()
        .timeout(Duration::from_secs(DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_SECS))
        .user_agent(DEFAULT_USER_AGENT)
        .pool_max_idle_per_host(POOL_MAX_IDLE_PER_HOST)  // 10
        .pool_idle_timeout(Duration::from_secs(POOL_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECS))  // 90s
        .build()
        .expect("Failed to build default HTTP client")
});

// Lines 52-67: API client with pooling
static API_CLIENT: Lazy<Client> = Lazy::new(|| {
    // ... with JSON headers and connection pooling
});

// Lines 75-92: Scraping client with pooling
static SCRAPING_CLIENT: Lazy<Client> = Lazy::new(|| {
    // ... with browser headers and connection pooling
});

Pool settings:

Max idle per host: 10
Idle timeout: 90 seconds

sqlite, redis, s3, dashmap, redb, ipfs for persistence backends
openrouter, ollama for LLM providers
mcp, grepapp, ai-assistant for middleware
workflows, vm-execution for advanced features

But not all code uses conditional compilation effectively.
