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 givesapi.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 typeApiStateholds today.src/api/mod.rs—ApiState's definition (wherever it stores theEngineHandle) and every handler that sends anEngineMessage; 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'sload_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 ownEngineHandlereference that also needs the updated shape.
Scope
- Decide and implement the concrete shape: either (a)
ApiStateholds 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.rshandler that currently sends aDeclareMetric/UpdateMetric/RemoveMetricDeclarationor 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_profileandProfile::load_into_engineto 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.
