perf: lazy notifiers for terminal orders and a bounded media cache - #717
Conversation
Startup eagerly created an OrderNotifier (storage watcher, book listener) and a ChatRoomNotifier (full history decrypt) for EVERY session of the retention window, finished trades included - N was "every trade of the month", and none of it was ever disposed. Each chat notifier also held its decrypted media bytes until process exit. - App init now skips orders whose last stored message reports a terminal status (missing or ambiguous data stays eager); the non-autoDispose families still build those notifiers lazily the moment a screen watches them (trade detail, status filters, chat history). - MediaCacheMixin is byte-bounded (32 MB combined) with LRU eviction; evicted media re-decrypts on demand from the stored blob.

flutter analyze is clean and the shared/, chat/ and order/ suites are
fully green here (444 tests). The concern is the premise of the lazy-init half,
not the tests.
Blocking 1: isTerminal is a cleanup predicate, not "nothing else will arrive"
Status.isTerminal is documented as the set of states "where the session can be
safely deleted during cleanup" (status.dart:31-32), and its only current
caller is session_notifier.dart:104-113, which applies it exclusively to
sessions already past the expiration cutoff. Reusing it inside the retention
window silently changes its meaning to "no further message is expected", and that
is not true for at least three flows:
settledHoldInvoice— documented eight lines below in the same file
(status.dart:50-52) as "the window between the release and the payout, where
the buyer may want to replace a wrong invoice". If the app starts during that
window the notifier is skipped, so an incomingpayment_failed/ add-invoice
request produces no notification and no state update.canceled/canceledByAdmin/settledByAdmin—bond-slashedis a
trailing notice that arrives after the terminal status. The deferred 60s
session deletion (abstract_mostro_notifier.dart:32-34) exists precisely so it
can still be received. With the notifier skipped, the forfeiture notice is
silent.success— the rate / rate-received exchange.
MostroService._onData still persists these messages, so nothing is lost on
disk — what is lost is the live reaction (notification, navigation, session
cleanup), since order notifications are only emitted from
AbstractMostroNotifier.handleEvent and the background service suppresses itself
while the app is in the foreground.
The new test covers canceled, success and canceledByAdmin but not
settledHoldInvoice, which is the one that matters most here.
Suggestion: don't reuse isTerminal. Define the predicate this call site actually
needs — "finished and nothing trailing is expected" — excluding at minimum
settledHoldInvoice, and consider a short grace window after the terminal message
so trailing notices (bond-slashed, rate) still land eagerly.
Blocking 2: terminal orders also lose their eager ChatRoomNotifier
The continue skips ref.read(chatRoomsProvider(session.orderId!)) too. Those
notifiers are the only consumers of SubscriptionManager.chat, which is a
StreamController.broadcast() — it drops events while it has no listener. So a
P2P message on a finished trade ("received, thanks") that arrives before the user
opens the Chats tab is discarded: not displayed, not written to disk, and the
cursor does not advance. ChatRoomsNotifier only builds those notifiers when the
chat list renders (_chatsForSessions), which is lazy.
Keeping the chat notifier eager while skipping only the order notifier would avoid
this, at the cost of the history decrypt — or the chat side needs the same
listener-gap fix discussed in #714.
Non-blocking
- The media budget is per notifier, not global.
mediaCacheMaxBytesis
static constbut_mediaBytesis an instance field, so the ceiling is 32 MB ×
number of conversations. Given the stated motivation ("these notifiers live for
the whole app run"), either account globally or pick a much smaller
per-conversation budget. - Evicted metadata is retained.
_mediaTouchdrops the bytes from
_imageCache/_fileCachebut never from_imageMetadata/_fileMetadata. For
files this is harmless (encrypted_file_message.dart:70-83re-parses metadata
and re-downloads on a cache miss), butencrypted_image_message.dartonly calls
_loadImage()from theinitStatepost-frame callback: a still-mounted widget
whose bytes were evicted renders_buildLoadingWidget()indefinitely, since
buildseescachedImage == null,_isLoading == false,_errorMessage == null. Narrow (needs >32 MB in one conversation) but it is a new failure mode
introduced by eviction. Simplest fix: re-trigger the load on a cache miss in
build. - It is FIFO, not LRU.
_mediaLruis only touched on insert;getCachedImage
/getCachedFiledon't promote. Fine in practice, but the comment and the field
name claim otherwise. debugMediaCacheBytesis public production API — worth@visibleForTesting.- The three new imports were added above
import 'dart:async';in
app_init_provider.dart, breaking the usual dart:/package: ordering. - Worth noting for expectations:
trades_list_item.dart:33watches
orderNotifierProviderper row, so the saving is a startup-only one that
unwinds as soon as the user opens My Trades. Still worth having — just not a
permanent N reduction.
Addresses PR review feedback: - Startup no longer reuses Status.isTerminal, which answers a different question (may this session be deleted during cleanup?) and is only applied past the expiration cutoff. isSettledOrderMessage covers only statuses after which nothing needing a live reaction arrives, and only once a 24h trailing-notice window has passed. settledHoldInvoice (invoice replacement), canceled (reconcileCanceledBondedSession re-arms the deferred deletion on restart, plus the trailing bond-slashed notice) and success (the unbounded rating exchange) stay eager. Timestamps are unit-normalized and an unknown age counts as live. - The ChatRoomNotifier stays eager for every session with a peer. It is the only consumer of SubscriptionManager.chat, a broadcast stream that drops events with no listener, so a peer message on a finished trade would have been lost until the user opened the Chats tab. - The media budget is now global instead of per notifier, so the ceiling is no longer multiplied by the number of conversations. - Reads promote their entry, making the cache LRU rather than FIFO. - A widget whose bytes were evicted re-requests the image on a cache miss instead of showing the loading placeholder forever. - debugMediaCacheBytes is @VisibleForTesting; imports reordered; the guard is dart format clean; tests split to mirror their source modules.

1. An entry larger than the budget evicts itself, and the new post-frame callback turns that into an infinite loop
Reproduced:
insert a 32 MB + 1 byte image
bytes tracked = 0
cached after insert = false
_evict() runs while (_totalBytes > max && _lru.isNotEmpty), so it empties the whole list — including the entry that was just inserted.
The PR then added this inside build(), at encrypted_image_message.dart:95:
WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((_) => _loadImageIfNeeded());which closes the cycle: build → not cached, not loading, no error → post-frame → _loadImage() → download + decrypt → cache → self-evict → setState(_isLoading = false) → build → again. Downloading and decrypting in a loop for as long as the widget stays mounted.
I looked for a size cap in encrypted_image_upload_service.dart, encrypted_file_upload_service.dart and across features/chat/ — there is none; the only hits are "MB" formatters. So a >32 MB image is reachable: a large PNG, a panorama, or a peer on a modified client.
One-word fix: stop eviction before the list empties —
while (_totalBytes > mediaCacheMaxBytes && _lru.length > 1) {The new entry survives, the budget is only exceeded in that pathological case, and the loop disappears. Worth a test with an entry larger than the cap; there isn't one today.
There's a more benign variant I did not prove: several mounted images summing over 32 MB could take turns evicting each other and trigger the same re-load cycle. Flagging it as a suspicion, not a fact.
2. pubspec.lock doesn't belong in this PR
44 lines bumping analyzer 7.7.1 → 8.4.1, _fe_analyzer_shared 85 → 91, test 1.26.2 → 1.30.0, plus meta, material_color_utilities, dart_style, characters. None of it relates to lazy notifiers or the media cache.
Two things confirm it's accidental:
- It's the only PR in the series that touches it. #711, #712, #713, #714 and #718 leave
pubspec.lockalone. - It doesn't survive. Running the tests triggered an implicit
flutter pub getthat reverted the whole lock tomain's values — 22 lines back,8.4.1→7.7.1. That is also why CI passed: it did the same thing silently.
So it's 44 lines of diff noise that the next pub get undoes — and it happens to be the analyzer 7 → 8 jump that has its own open issues (#606, #611, #512). I'd drop it from the PR.
3. The win shrank considerably after the review fixes
The summary notes that each ChatRoomNotifier does a full history decrypt — and those are now eager for every session with a peer. What's left is skipping the OrderNotifier for five statuses older than 24 h.
In exchange, the startup loop now performs one await messageStorage.getLatestMessageById() per session, sequentially, including for every session that stays eager, where it is pure added cost.
Probably still a net win, but it's measurable and worth confirming before merge — especially since the title still promises more than the change now delivers.
4. Nits
- If one
messageIdever held both an image and a file, the accounting breaks: I probed it and the image's 4 MB stays in the map while the counter drops to 1 MB — untracked, unevictable memory. In practice a message is one or the other, so this is robustness rather than a live bug. _MediaCacheEntry.owneris a strong reference held from a process-globalstaticlist. It's mitigated because both notifiers callclearMediaCaches()indispose(), but aWeakReferencewouldn't depend on dispose running — and this PR's own premise is that these notifiers live for the whole process.- The bot asked for integration coverage of both P1 scenarios (restart with a canceled bond, chat on a terminal session). It wasn't added; the new tests are the pure decision table. Narrowing the predicate makes that largely moot, but noting it.
Verdict
Changes requested.
Finding 1 is a real, reproducible bug with a one-word fix — an infinite download-and-decrypt loop is not something to ship in a PR whose whole point is reducing consumption. Finding 2 is cleanup, but cleanup that touches a toolchain decision tracked by its own issues.
The rest of the PR is solid. The responses to all three bot findings are substantive rather than cosmetic, and I verified the LRU fix working. With those two changes I'd approve.
…k bump An entry larger than the whole budget evicted itself, and the post-frame re-request in EncryptedImageMessage turned that into an endless download-and-decrypt loop. Eviction now stops at the most recent entry. Image and file bytes under the same message id are accounted separately, the startup storage lookups are issued together instead of awaited one by one, and pubspec.lock is restored to main (the analyzer 7 -> 8 bump was unrelated to this PR).

A stored message timestamp beyond the DateTime range made `_messageTime` throw a RangeError from `isSettledOrderMessage`, which aborted app initialization instead of treating the message as live. Values past 8640000000000000 ms now count as an unknown age. `_MediaCacheEntry.owner` was a strong reference held from a process-global static list, so a notifier whose `dispose()` never ran would have been kept alive together with every decrypted blob in its maps. The entry now holds a `WeakReference`; eviction skips an already collected owner and only drops its accounting.
