## Problem Every `StoreTx` carried two maps for observation de-duplication: - `obsKeys`, keyed by `observerID + "|" + pathJSON` (a concatenated string allocated for every observation); - `observerSet`, for `UniqueObserverCount`. On a busy regional network's 7-day window (64k transmissions, 400k observations), these maps and their concatenated keys held about 60 MB of heap. Most transmissions are heard a handful of times; the busiest in that week was heard 40 times. The maps cost a few hundred bytes per transmission to de-duplicate lists that are usually under ten long. ## Change - `hasObservation` and `hasObserver` scan `tx.Observations`, comparing the observer ID and path strings the observations already hold. These are the same two values the old map key was built from, so the answers are identical. - Once a transmission passes 64 observations (`obsIndexThreshold`), it builds the maps. They're keyed by a struct that shares the observations' strings, so no key bytes are allocated, and busy transmissions keep O(1) checks (the case #543 / #355 addressed). - The five places that appended an observation now call `addObservation`, which keeps `UniqueObserverCount` and `ObservationCount` in step. Those three lines were previously copied at each site. - The memory estimate no longer charges for the per-transmission maps or the concatenated keys. ## Perf justification (AGENTS.md rule 0) - **Complexity.** - Below the threshold, a duplicate check is O(k) for a transmission with k < 64 observations, so building it costs at most 63·64/2 = 2016 string-header comparisons. - At and above 64 observations, checks are O(1) map lookups, as before. - Nothing is O(n²) in the number of transmissions or observations overall: the scan is bounded per transmission. - **Scale.** Real data peaks at 40 observations per transmission. The scan compares string headers (length first, then bytes), and 64-character observer IDs differ early. `BenchmarkObsDedup` (a miss, the common case on ingest): | observations on tx | check used | time | |---|---|---| | 4 | scan | 15 ns | | 16 | scan | 70 ns | | 40 | scan | 151 ns | | 63 | scan | 233 ns | | 64+ | map (struct key) | 15 ns | For comparison, the old map lookup was about 15 ns too, plus building and allocating the `observerID|path` key string on every check. At 40 observations that's about 3 µs extra to build a whole transmission, against roughly 2 KB of maps no longer allocated for it. **Measured on a copy of that 7-day window** (`GOMEMLIMIT=750MiB`, same queries): | | before | after | |---|---|---| | in-use heap after load | 612 MB | 568 MB | | HeapAlloc after load | 660 MB | 564 MB | | peak RSS | 1077 MB | 1009 MB | | startup to ready | 31 s | 21 s | It has also run on a staging instance (live MQTT ingest) for about nine hours alongside other store changes, with no change in observation or observer counts. ## Tests - `obs_dedup_test.go`: - duplicates (same observer and path) are rejected, while a new path or a new observer is kept; - a transmission under the threshold carries no maps; - across the threshold the maps take over with the same answers; - empty observer IDs aren't counted as observers; - `BenchmarkObsDedup`. - Red commit first (stubs, failing on assertions), then green. - `cd cmd/server && go test ./...` passes. - SonarQube: quality gate passed, no issues on added lines. Backend only: no UI, API shape or config change. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) https://claude.ai/code/session_01KaR4xu8gVykQBkH8yG8m6H --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
