Ticket 102 (splitting the engine into reader/primary/profile actors) was a single multi-thousand-line ticket covering a new actor topology, an EngineHandle API redesign, a query fan-out layer, moving alerts, and a full test-harness rewrite, with some design decisions deliberately left open. Splitting it into six sequenced tickets (profile actor skeleton + signaling, move metric computation, move alert evaluation, split the handle API, query fan-out, test harness rework) lets each land as its own reviewable commit instead of one large speculative rewrite.

# 106 — Give API handlers a real way to address the primary vs. the profile actor
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
By the time [[104-move-metric-computation-to-profile-actor]] and
|
|
[[105-move-alert-evaluation-to-profile-actor]] land, metric/alert
|
|
messages need to route to the profile actor while param/log messages
|
|
stay on the primary — today's single `EngineHandle` (one `mpsc::Sender`
|
|
+ one `IndexReader`) can't express that. This ticket gives `api.rs`'s
|
|
handlers, and the runtime profile-switch path, a real API surface for
|
|
both actors, per [[0001-actor-split]]'s resolved decision to decide
|
|
during implementation whether that's two handle types or one
|
|
internally-fanning-out handle.
|
|
|
|
## Where
|
|
|
|
- `src/engine/handle.rs:74-78` (`EngineHandle { tx, reader }`) — the
|
|
single handle type `ApiState` holds today.
|
|
- `src/api/mod.rs` — `ApiState`'s definition (wherever it stores the
|
|
`EngineHandle`) and every handler that sends an `EngineMessage`;
|
|
metric/alert-related routes need to target the profile actor's
|
|
channel instead of the primary's.
|
|
- `src/api/mod.rs:812-852` (`reload_engine_declarations`,
|
|
`activate_profile`) — today removes/redeclares params *and* metrics
|
|
against one engine. After this split, param removal/redeclare stays
|
|
primary-side, metric removal/redeclare targets the profile actor —
|
|
this function needs to send to both.
|
|
- `src/config/profile.rs`'s `load_into_engine` (referenced in
|
|
[[0004-profile-switch-reindexing-cost]] at `:332-384`) — same
|
|
dual-target concern at startup load time as well as runtime
|
|
reactivation.
|
|
- `src/api/mcp_server.rs` — check whether the MCP server's query
|
|
surface holds its own `EngineHandle` reference that also needs the
|
|
updated shape.
|
|
|
|
## Scope
|
|
|
|
- Decide and implement the concrete shape: either (a) `ApiState` holds
|
|
two handles (`primary: EngineHandle`, `profile: ProfileHandle`) and
|
|
each handler picks the right one, or (b) one combined handle type
|
|
that internally holds both channels/readers and routes by message
|
|
kind. Document the choice in the PR description since
|
|
[[0001-actor-split]] deliberately left it open.
|
|
- Update every `api.rs` handler that currently sends a
|
|
`DeclareMetric`/`UpdateMetric`/`RemoveMetricDeclaration` or alert-
|
|
related message to target the profile actor; param-related messages
|
|
(`DeclareParam`/`RemoveParamDeclaration`/`ClearParams`/
|
|
`SetMaxLogs`/`EnsureSortHelperIndex`) stay on the primary.
|
|
- Update `reload_engine_declarations`/`activate_profile` and
|
|
`Profile::load_into_engine` to split their remove-then-redeclare
|
|
sequence across both actors correctly, preserving today's behavior
|
|
(still fully synchronous from the caller's perspective — this
|
|
ticket doesn't change the blocking nature of profile switching,
|
|
only which actor(s) the messages go to; see
|
|
[[0004-profile-switch-reindexing-cost]] for the separate question of
|
|
making that async).
|
|
- Out of scope: the query fan-out layer for requests needing both raw
|
|
logs and profile-derived data in one response — that's
|
|
[[107-query-fan-out-across-primary-and-profile]]. Read-only query
|
|
handlers can be touched here only insofar as they need updating to
|
|
compile against the new handle shape, not to actually merge two data
|
|
sources yet.
