From d8d9d5e576b72e12054523da3804f56e8d6c6d1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: accius Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 21:56:16 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat: propagation uses multi-entry LRU cache + background ITURHFProp queue MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Previously: single-entry cache — every new DX click evicted the previous prediction, forcing a fresh ITURHFProp call (10s+ wait). With the service down, users got nothing. Now: - Multi-entry LRU cache (200 entries, 30-min TTL) — clicking between DX targets serves cached P.533-14 results instantly - Background fetch queue — if cache misses, serve built-in model immediately and queue ITURHFProp in background. Next poll (10 min) or re-click gets the precise result - Path coordinates rounded to 0.5° for better cache hit rate - Users always get an instant response (never "loading...") Flow: click DX → cache hit? serve P.533-14 instantly. Cache miss? serve built-in model + fire background ITURHFProp. Next request → P.533-14 from cache.
