The bot's request_queue.py 4s FIFO gate wasn't protecting against Lichess's
rate limiter — that's already handled downstream in LichessWebServices/
rate_limiter.py (0.2s, shared across all callers of our stats service). The
bot-side gate only paced calls to our own local service, and since it awaited
each request to full completion before dequeuing the next, real dispatch gaps
were max(4s, previous request's duration) — with 454 tracked gamer/user pairs,
any burst (e.g. after a restart) piled into the queue and took 10-20+ minutes
to drain.
Replace it with a paced-dispatch + bounded-concurrency design: a hard 2s floor
between dispatches (still never lets 2+ requests through in that window),
decoupled from completion time, with up to 10 requests actually in flight at
once via a semaphore. Doesn't touch the real Lichess-facing rate limit at all.
Also add deterministic per-(user,gamer) checkpoint jitter: previously every
pair sharing the same period_minutes re-locked onto the same wall-clock phase
on every restart (backlog collapse snaps period_end_approx to `now` for
everyone overdue at once), recreating the pileup each time. Jitter is stable
across restarts (crc32-based, not Python's salted hash()) and capped well
under the 2h stale-backlog threshold. Small startup stagger added too, purely
cosmetic smoothing on top of the jitter fix.
The backlog-collapse fix (previous commit) correctly stops the checkpoint
from falling further behind, but it was still sending the full per-game
notification for whatever it caught up on — meaning a gamer whose checkpoint
had drifted weeks behind now dumps a multi-week, game-by-game report on the
user in one message. That's not a "periodic update" anymore, just spam.
When the collapsed window exceeds 2 hours, catch the checkpoint up silently
(still fixes the drift) but skip sending the notification for it — only
report activity that's actually recent going forward.
Persist user_data (PicklePersistence) so an in-flight /addgamer username
prompt survives a bot restart instead of being silently swallowed by
handle_username when the in-memory awaiting flag is gone.
Collapse periodic-check backlog into a single request spanning the whole
missed gap instead of replaying it one period_minutes window at a time —
with enough tracked gamers sharing one RequestQueue, per-window replay
could never catch up and the checkpoint fell further behind indefinitely.
Notification period label now reflects the actual queried span (minutes/
hours/days) instead of the configured interval, so a weeks-old catch-up
no longer gets mislabeled as "for 15 minutes".
- /getgamers: column-aligned monospace table (username, ratings, period).
- Per-mode stats (rating/wins/losses/draws): column-aligned block, dropped
the meaningless multi-game average accuracy row.
- format_stats_response/format_period_notification now wrap the whole
message in a single markdown code block instead of alternating
plain-text headers and separately-fenced tables.
- Rating row gets an emoji prefix to match the other three rows, so
Telegram's monospace rendering keeps all values in the same column.
Set awaiting_addgamer_username as soon as the menu is shown so typing a
username directly (without tapping the button) is handled instead of
being silently ignored. Also stop reporting a valid username as "not
found" when Lichess returns a non-404 error (rate limit/timeout), and
surface an error message if the addgamer menu itself fails to send.
Games-of-period responses can now include a per-game breakdown
(include_games) with Lichess post-analysis accuracy, plus which side
the tracked player was on and their rating change for that game.
- lichess_client.py requests accuracy=true from Lichess; stats_service
computes per-mode average accuracy and builds GameRow entries
(tracked_is_white, tracked_rating_diff) for blitz/rapid/classical
- /games/{username}/period gained an include_games query param
- formatters.py renders a column-aligned monospace table per game:
outcome circle (win/loss/draw relative to the tracked player),
rating change, accuracy, names/ratings, result — for today/yesterday
and periodic notifications; week keeps an aggregate accuracy line
- usernames are Markdown-escaped before formatting since messages are
now sent with parse_mode='Markdown'
Errors from Lichess (timeouts/5xx/invalid tokens) were being disguised
as "no activity" (HTTP 200, games_count/puzzles_in_period=0), causing
the bot to silently advance its checkpoint past real, undetected
activity. Puzzle-fetch failures weren't counted as errors at all, and
the periodic task died permanently after 5 consecutive errors with no
way to recover short of a manual restart. /setperiod also unconditionally
reset the checkpoint, dropping the window between the last check and
the command.
- API now returns success=false/502 on real errors instead of masking
them as zero activity (models.py, stats_service.py, main.py)
- Puzzle-fetch errors are now treated the same as game-fetch errors:
retry the same window instead of reporting "no puzzles"
- Notification delivery failures no longer silently advance the
checkpoint
- Replaced the hard 5-error kill switch with capped backoff that keeps
retrying indefinitely, plus an admin-bot notification if a player's
monitoring has been failing for a prolonged period (~2h+)
- /setperiod only clears the checkpoint when disabling notifications,
preserving continuity when a period is just changed
