Elie Habib 9d27ff0d6a fix(seeds): strict-floor validators must not poison seed-meta on empty (#3078)
* fix(seeds): strict-floor validators must not poison seed-meta on empty

When `runSeed`'s validateFn rejected (empty/short data), seed-meta was
refreshed with `fetchedAt=now, recordCount=0`. Bundle runners read
`fetchedAt` to decide skip — so one transient empty fetch locked the
IMF-extended bundle (30-day cadence) out for a full month.

Adds opt-in `emptyDataIsFailure` flag that skips the meta refresh on
validation failure, letting the bundle retry next cron fire and health
flip to STALE_SEED. Wires it on all four IMF/WEO seeders (floor 150-190
countries), which structurally can't have legitimate empty results.

Default behavior unchanged for quiet-period feeds (news, events) where
empty is normal.

Observed: Railway log 2026-04-13 18:58 — imf-external validation fail;
next fire 8h later skipped "483min ago / interval 43200min".

* test(seeds): regression coverage for emptyDataIsFailure branch

Static-analysis guard against the PR #3078 regression reintroducing itself:
- Asserts runSeed gates writeFreshnessMetadata on opts.emptyDataIsFailure
  and that extendExistingTtl still runs in both branches (cache preserved).
- Asserts the four strict-floor IMF seeders (external/growth/labor/macro)
  pass emptyDataIsFailure: true.

Prevents silent bundle-lockout if someone removes the gate or adds a new
strict-floor seeder without the flag.

* fix(seeds): strict-floor failure must exit(1) + behavioral test

P2 (surfacing upstream failures in bundle summary):
Strict-floor seeders with emptyDataIsFailure:true now process.exit(1)
after logging FAILURE. _bundle-runner's spawnSeed wraps execFile, so
non-zero exit rejects → failed++ increments → bundle itself exits 1.
Before: bundle logged 'Done' and ran++ on a poisoned upstream, hiding
30-day outages from Railway monitoring.

P3 (behavioral regression coverage, replacing static source-shape test):
Stubs globalThis.fetch (Upstash REST) + process.exit to drive runSeed
through both branches. Asserts on actual Redis commands:
- strict path: zero seed-meta SET, pipeline EXPIRE still called, exit(1)
- default path: exactly one seed-meta SET, exit(0)
Catches future regressions where writeFreshnessMetadata is reintroduced
indirectly, and is immune to cosmetic refactors of _seed-utils.mjs.

* test(seeds): regression for emptyDataIsFailure meta-refresh gate

Proves that validation failure with opts.emptyDataIsFailure:true does NOT
write seed-meta (strict-floor seeders) while the default behavior DOES
write count=0 meta (quiet-period feeds). Addresses PR #3078 review.

World Monitor Dashboard


What It Does

  • 435+ curated news feeds across 15 categories, AI-synthesized into briefs
  • Dual map engine — 3D globe (globe.gl) and WebGL flat map (deck.gl) with 45 data layers
  • Cross-stream correlation — military, economic, disaster, and escalation signal convergence
  • Country Intelligence Index — composite risk scoring across 12 signal categories
  • Finance radar — 92 stock exchanges, commodities, crypto, and 7-signal market composite
  • Local AI — run everything with Ollama, no API keys required
  • 5 site variants from a single codebase (world, tech, finance, commodity, happy)
  • Native desktop app (Tauri 2) for macOS, Windows, and Linux
  • 21 languages with native-language feeds and RTL support

For the full feature list, architecture, data sources, and algorithms, see the documentation.
