Fixes #1203 and addresses some issues found during review:

  • toBullPriority now floors at 1 instead of 0 BullMQ treats priority 0 as unprioritized, which would silently demoting heavily-reported items to the back of the wait list.
  • changePriority calls now check job state first only waiting/prioritized/delayed jobs support it, active jobs are skipped.
  • getOldestJobCreatedAt uses an in-memory mini-heap (3 entries) instead of scanning up to 10k prioritized jobs on every call. The heap is invalidated on dequeue/remove and lazily rescanned as to keep a relatively fresh number of oldest job that can be updated as items are removed.
  • numReports stored as a number and formatted at render time which was breaking numeric sort in the preview table.
  • Removed normalizeJobSortType as it was just a nullish coalesce with extra steps.

Priority is conditionally spread into BullMQ options instead of passing undefined explicitly. Legacy job format (id vs itemId) handled in the recompute sweep.

Tests added for the heap cache, dequeue eviction, bulk delete invalidation, and the active-job guard.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Report counts now display with localized number formatting while preserving correct numeric sorting.
    • Priority recalculations no longer alter jobs that are already active or otherwise unavailable for reprioritization.
    • Priority values exceeding the supported range now clamp to the correct minimum priority.
    • Queue age information remains accurate as jobs are removed, completed, or cleared.
  • Performance
    • Repeated queue age lookups are faster through improved caching.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1203 requires a shared Redis cache with key {orgId}:mrt-oldest-jobs:{queueId}. QueueOperations currently stores #oldestJobHeaps in a process-local Map, keyed by ${orgId}:${queueId}. This does not provide Redis-backed reads, writes, or queue-deletion invalidation across service instances. The implementation provides a three-entry heap and scan-based cache filling, and it evicts entries during job removal. The reviewed evidence does not show the required asynchronous Redis refill or Redis key deletion.

Resolution

Implement the three-entry heap in Redis with the issue-defined key. Read the cached oldest entry in O(1), populate the key on cache misses, evict dequeued and administratively removed jobs, asynchronously refill after eviction, and delete the key when the queue is deleted. Add tests for Redis-backed reads, writes, invalidation, refill, and queue deletion.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The heap, scan, eviction, and queue-deletion changes support issue #1203. The changes to ManualReviewQueueJobsPreview.tsx format numReports at render time. The changes to JobPriority.ts, JobPriority.test.ts, and manualReviewToolService.ts alter priority clamping, remove normalizeJobSortType, change priority handling, and support legacy recompute fields. The linked issue does not require these UI or priority-helper changes, and the reviewed evidence does not establish a connection to the oldest-job cache objective.

  • Changing this value to a number violates the existing integerSort contract: client/src/webpages/dashboard/components/table/sort.tsx:41-42 calls .replaceAll on each value. Sorting the # Reports column will therefore throw because values.numReports is a number; keep the stored value formatted as a string or update the shared comparator to coerce numbers.

server/services/manualReviewToolService/modules/QueueOperations.ts:1039

  • Skipping changePriority for an active job avoids the unsupported operation, but leaves its old BullMQ priority in place. The enqueue path can call this for an active existing job, and releaseJobLock later requeues it without restamping, so a report-count or sort-mode change can be ignored when that job becomes pending again. Apply the pending priority on requeue or otherwise mark the job for recomputation.

Invalidate the cache after releasing a job.

dequeueNextJobWithLock evicts the claimed job from #oldestJobHeaps. If other entries remain, releaseJobLock can move that job back to the pending state with its original job.data.createdAt, but it does not restore the entry or invalidate the heap. getOldestJobCreatedAt can then return a newer cached timestamp until the cache is cleared and rescanned.

Clear or rebuild the queue cache after moveToDelayed succeeds.

Remove the cache entry when the queue is deleted.

deleteManualReviewQueue deletes the database row and then calls queue.obliterate({ force: true }); it does not call deleteAllJobsFromQueue or delete ${orgId}:${queueId} from #oldestJobHeaps. A successful deletion can therefore leave the cached timestamp available to later lookups, and the entry remains in memory for the service lifetime.

Assert that the second lookup skips the scan.

Both cached and uncached implementations return the same timestamp here. This test does not detect a regression that removes the cache.

Spy on the BullMQ retrieval methods and assert that the second getOldestJobCreatedAt call does not scan again.

- Around line 1822-1823: Update the `#scanOldestJobs` caching flow to use a
per-queue generation or invalidation token, incremented by dequeue, removal, and
obliterate cache invalidations. Capture the token before awaiting the scan and
set `#oldestJobHeaps` only if the token is unchanged afterward, preventing an
in-flight scan from restoring stale results.
- Line 1839: Update the eviction logic around heap.splice so that when removing
an item leaves the cached heap empty, it schedules one coordinated asynchronous
refill via the existing oldest-job scan/refill mechanism. Preserve the current
eviction behavior and avoid scheduling duplicate concurrent refills.

server/services/manualReviewToolService/modules/QueueOperations.priorities.test.ts:417

  • This test cannot distinguish a cached read from a second full scan: both calls use unchanged queue state and only compare equal results. Since avoiding the BullMQ scan is the behavior under test, add an assertion (for example, spy on getWaiting/getPrioritized after the first call) that the second call does not query BullMQ.
      const second = await queueOps.getOldestJobCreatedAt({
        orgId: org.id,
        queueId: queue.id,
        isAppealsQueue: false,
      });

server/services/manualReviewToolService/modules/QueueOperations.ts:177

  • Because #oldestJobHeaps is a process-local Map, invalidations only affect the API process that handled the dequeue/removal. Another API process can populate this entry and then keep returning a removed job's createdAt, even though the queue state is shared in Redis. Store the mini-heap in shared Redis (as the queue cache contract requires) or add a cross-process version/invalidation check before using it for the GraphQL age.
  // Mini-heap cache: keeps the N oldest pending jobs per queue so
  // getOldestJobCreatedAt can return in O(1) instead of scanning up to
  // 10k prioritized jobs. Keyed by `${orgId}:${queueId}`.
  readonly #oldestJobHeaps = new Map<string, OldestJobEntry[]>();

server/services/manualReviewToolService/modules/QueueOperations.ts:177

  • This Map has no size limit or expiry and is populated for every queue whose oldestJobCreatedAt field is resolved, including empty queues. Long-lived API processes therefore retain an entry for every queue ever viewed, so memory grows with queue/dashboard traffic; the existing queue/worker caches in this class are explicitly bounded. Use a bounded/TTL cache or the shared Redis cache.
  readonly #oldestJobHeaps = new Map<string, OldestJobEntry[]>();

server/services/manualReviewToolService/modules/QueueOperations.ts:1833

  • A cache-miss scan can overlap a dequeue or removal: eviction sees no entry (or an empty one), then this set publishes a scan result that still contains the removed job. Later reads accept any non-empty cache without rechecking Redis, so oldestJobCreatedAt can return a job that is already gone. Track an invalidation generation or serialize scans, and publish only results that are still current.
    // Cache miss — do the full scan and populate the heap.
    const heap = await this.#scanOldestJobs({ orgId, queueId, isAppealsQueue });
    this.#oldestJobHeaps.set(heapKey, heap);
    return heap.length > 0 ? heap[0].createdAt : null;

server/services/manualReviewToolService/modules/QueueOperations.ts:1434

  • This eviction is only correct while the claimed job remains active. releaseJobLock moves a skipped job back to delayed, and BullMQ's stalled-job handling can also return an active job to a pending state, but neither path restores this entry. If the dequeued job was the oldest, the cache will report the next entry even though the released/stalled job is pending again; invalidate or reinsert the job whenever it returns to a pending state.
        if (job.id != null) {
          this.#evictFromOldestJobHeap({
            orgId,
            queueId,
            bullJobId: job.id,

This is an in-memory structure, so what happens if there are multiple instances of Coop running (say in k8s or some other way)? E.g. if another instance calls removeJobByJobIdUnsafe, then oldestJobHeaps in other instances will become out of date, right? I think this data structure may need to live in something like Redis perhaps?

If this is a cache over the oldest-job calculation, and our oldest-job calculation is still incorrect (because it only checks 10k jobs), then is it really worth adding?

I'd be very curious to see some metrics to quantify how long it takes to scan 10k jobs, because this might be an unnecessary optimization. Hard to say without numbers!
