Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Prevented duplicate periodic signals from increasing the pending event count.
    • Ensured replaced periodic signals do not trigger unnecessary additional notifications.
    • Events that cannot be accepted are now correctly dropped, while accepted replacements remain available for processing.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for periodic-signal replacement with and without memory controls enabled.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The append APIs now return separate accepted and appended results. Periodic signal replacement is accepted without increasing queue length. The event queue skips drops and signals for replacements. Tests cover both memory-control modes.

Periodic signal append semantics

Layer / File(s) Summary
Append result contract
utils/dynstream/stream.go, utils/dynstream/memory_control.go
Append methods now return accepted and appended. Periodic replacement returns (true, false); normal and drop-replacement paths return (true, true).
Event signaling and validation
utils/dynstream/event_queue.go, utils/dynstream/*_test.go
The queue drops rejected events, skips signaling for accepted replacements, and signals only appended events. Tests verify replacement and queue lengths with memory control enabled and disabled.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f916a

Memory tracking can become inaccurate during event replacement or dropping, potentially delaying configured memory controls. These accounting defects should be fixed before merge.

Update pending-size accounting when replacing a periodic signal.

When a periodic signal replaces the queued signal, apply the difference between the old and new eventSize values before overwriting *back. Update both path.pendingSize and totalPendingSize in the memory-control path, and update path.pendingSize in the non-memory-control path. Later pop and path-removal operations use these counters, so the current code can understate pending memory and delay memory-control actions.

Update the periodic-signal replacement test to expect the replacement event size.

Account for drop events inserted into the pending queue.

Both branches add an event with PushBack, but neither updates path.pendingSize or totalPendingSize. When OnDrop returns an event, memory usage remains understated and memory control can fail to release or pause paths at the configured threshold. Update both counters as in the normal append path.

Also applies to: 151-151
