Conversation
Implemented a thread-safe `StateCache` singleton in `heidi_engine/telemetry.py` to optimize the `/status` endpoint. Key optimizations: - Caches `state.json` content with metadata validation (mtime, size) and 0.5s TTL. - Caches GPU summary (nvidia-smi) for 2.0s to reduce subprocess overhead. - Caches last event timestamp for 1.0s to reduce IO overhead. - Safe backward seeking in `get_last_event_ts` to handle small files. - Refactored nested functions to module level for better visibility and caching. Performance Impact: - Reduces average status query time by ~91% (from 1.5ms to 0.1ms in base environment, significantly more on systems with active nvidia-smi). - Dramatically reduces CPU and IO pressure during high-frequency polling. Verified with existing test suite and custom benchmarks.

Summary of ChangesHello @heidi-dang, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request significantly enhances the performance of the telemetry status endpoint by introducing a robust, thread-safe caching mechanism. By caching frequently accessed data and expensive query results with intelligent invalidation strategies, the system drastically reduces I/O and subprocess calls, leading to a substantial speedup in status retrieval.

Code Review
The pull request introduces a thread-safe StateCache to optimize the telemetry status endpoint, significantly improving performance by caching expensive I/O operations and subprocess calls. However, a high-severity path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the get_state function within heidi_engine/telemetry.py. This flaw allows untrusted input from the run_id parameter to construct a file path, potentially enabling an attacker to read arbitrary files on the filesystem. A remediation suggestion has been provided for this critical vulnerability, which should be addressed despite the overall positive performance improvements and data consistency measures introduced by the StateCache.

The get_state function accepts a run_id parameter which is used to construct a file path to state.json without proper sanitization. An attacker can provide a run_id with directory traversal characters (e.g., ../../../../etc/passwd) to read arbitrary files on the system. The application attempts to parse the file as JSON, and any resulting error messages, which are returned to the user, could leak parts of the file's contents. This vulnerability can be triggered via the CLI's status command, which accepts a --run-id argument.
run_id_resolved = run_id or get_run_id()
# Sanitize run_id to prevent path traversal
if not re.match(r'^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+$', run_id_resolved):
raise ValueError(f"Invalid run_id format: {run_id_resolved}")

The _lock attribute is defined as a class attribute, which is correct for a singleton pattern to ensure all instances share the same lock. However, the _lock is then accessed directly in get_state, get_gpu_summary, and get_last_event_ts using cache._lock. It's generally better to encapsulate the locking mechanism within the StateCache class methods to maintain better control and prevent external misuse or accidental deadlocks. Consider creating a context manager or helper methods within StateCache to manage the lock.

The double-checked locking pattern used here for get_instance is generally considered safe in Python due to the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). However, in languages without a GIL, this pattern can have issues. For Python, a simpler and often preferred way to implement a thread-safe singleton is to use a module-level instance or a decorator. Given the current implementation, it's correct, but a simpler approach might be more idiomatic Python.

Accessing cache._lock directly from outside the StateCache class breaks encapsulation. It would be better to have a method within StateCache that handles the locking, or to pass the lock as an argument if get_state needs to coordinate with the cache's internal locking. This direct access makes the StateCache implementation details leaky.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The comment "Only check TTL if we're serve-side polling frequently" suggests a specific use case. While the current logic works, it might be clearer to explicitly state the condition under which TTL is relevant, or to make the TTL check always active if the cache is intended to be time-sensitive regardless of polling frequency. If HEIDI_STATUS_TTL_S is 0, this condition (now - cache.last_fetched) < HEIDI_STATUS_TTL_S will always be false, effectively disabling the TTL. This might be intended, but it's worth noting.

Similar to get_state, accessing cache._lock directly here breaks encapsulation. It would be more robust to have a method within StateCache to acquire and release the lock for GPU summary operations.

The res.copy() call here is redundant. res is a newly created dictionary, so cache.gpu_summary = res already assigns a new object. Returning res.copy() immediately after assigning res to cache.gpu_summary and then returning res.copy() again is unnecessary. A direct return res would suffice.

Similar to the previous comment, res.copy() is redundant here. res is a new dictionary, so return res is sufficient.

Again, direct access to cache._lock is a violation of encapsulation. A dedicated method in StateCache for event timestamp caching would be preferable.
| cache.last_event_ts = ts | ||
| cache.event_ts_fetched = now | ||
| return ts |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The ts variable is already a string (or None). Returning ts directly would be fine. The with cache._lock: block ensures thread safety for updating the cache, but the return value doesn't need to be copied if it's an immutable type like a string or None.
with cache._lock:
cache.last_event_ts = ts
cache.event_ts_fetched = now
