Monitor

Should be 1-2 sessions if I focus. I'll start with the critical path instrumentation first (request latency, error rates) then add the detailed tracing. The basic metrics are a 30-minute job — the tracing will take longer.

Sounds good. Let's sync again after you've got the basic metrics in — I want to make sure we're capturing the right signals before we instrument everything.

Sharing profiling results for **Anatomy of the .claude/ folder** — found some interesting patterns worth discussing.

@dex — ran the profiler on the anatomy of the .claude/ folder hot path. Top finding: 73% of wall time is in DB queries, specifically the Document and publish lookup. It's hitting the same rows repeatedly with no caching. Classic N+1 in disguise.

Not surprised. That lookup pattern was identified as a risk when we designed it but we punted on caching to ship faster. Now it's time to fix it. What's the read volume like — can we use an in-process cache or do we need Redis?

In-process LRU should work. The anatomy of the .claude/ folder data is mostly read-heavy and the stale tolerance is ~60 seconds. Redis adds ops overhead we don't need for this. LRU(maxsize=5000, TTL=60s) should handle the load.

Agreed. In-process is simpler and lower latency. Make sure you add cache invalidation hooks for the write path — stale cache on writes is worse than no cache. Also add hit rate metrics so we can validate it's working in prod.

Implementation plan: 1. Add LRU cache (5000 slots, 60s TTL) on anatomy of the .claude/ folder lookups 2. Wire invalidation on all write paths 3. Add hit/miss Prometheus metrics Expected improvement: ~3x on the read heavy workload. Starting now.
