- Place a day at the home only from homeSince on, through the same
resolver the nightly fetch uses; a home without homeSince places no day.
- End a run at the first request the feed refuses (429, 5xx, network)
with status error, no follow-up and no pg-boss retry.
- Fetch the weather of days without a row before their air quality, and
keep the weather rows when the air-quality request fails, so no paid
request is asked for twice.
- Create no row for a day the archive answer leaves out.
- Re-read the module, the account switch and the operator switch before
every range.
- Check the history's own ceilings in the budget's locked transaction
together with the charge, instead of reading usage first.
- Read the days with entries once per chain and hand them to the
follow-up in its payload.
A background job fetches air quality, pollen and UV for every earlier
local day with a reading, mood entry, dose, symptom or workout: after the
update (boot and nightly discovery), when the home is set and when air
quality is switched on. A day with a weather row gets its air quality; a
day without one gets both, at the covering location period or else at the
home, also before the home was set. Days the source does not reach (before
2013 in Europe, before August 2022 elsewhere) stay empty and are not
counted.
Pending days are grouped by coarse location and cut into ranges of up to
90 days, joining days at most 14 apart, newest first. A run holds itself to
300 of the account's 400 daily calls and half of each instance window,
stores its progress on the user (migration 0391) and sends a follow-up while
it makes progress; a budget stop waits for the next discovery. The
Location & weather card shows the progress.
The air-quality client now asks pollen and dust from 2021 and skips the
request outside Europe before CAMS global starts.
The backfill route shared the analytics-read bucket and sent every
explicit range without a key, so one account could queue two-year
backfills until the instance-wide daily budget was gone for everyone.
The route now allows three backfills a rolling hour per account (429
environment.backfill_rate_limited) and one queued backfill per
twenty-minute slot, keyed on the account (409
environment.backfill_pending). Every fetch made for an account is also
charged to that account's own share of the daily budget, one twentieth
of it, so a refused request ends the run as budget-blocked and the
nightly run continues.
Fetch the Open-Meteo air-quality feed (CAMS, domains=auto) with the weather:
17 hourly variables folded into local days by fixed rules (means and maxima
only with 18 of 24 hours, ozone as the highest 8-hour running mean, UV only
with the midday hours), a value the feed did not cover stored as null, never
as zero. Requests are cut into 90-day chunks, newest first, and chunks before
mid 2022 ask for the eight pollutant and index variables only. An air-quality
failure never costs the weather row; the day stays unfetched and the nightly
gap fill (up to 90 days per account, newest first) asks for it again.
Every Open-Meteo request asks an instance-wide budget kept in Postgres first
(500 a minute, 4000 an hour, 8000 a day, weighted by the hosted pricing
rule). A refused request is not sent and the run ends as done with
budget_blocked. OPENMETEO_AIR_QUALITY_URL and ENVIRONMENT_AIR_QUALITY_DISABLED
are honoured; the account switch lives on PATCH /api/environment/preferences.
The home, each dated location period and each stored day keep their coarse
location sealed as one value under healthlog/environment-location/v1. The
writers write the sealed value only, the readers open it and fall back to the
readable columns for rows the free-text encryption backfill has not reached,
and the backfill now seals all three and clears the readable columns. The
backup carries the location readable in a portable file and sealed in a
disaster-recovery file; a restore seals either under the receiving key.
Three correlation channels join the environment family (PM2.5, the ozone
8-hour high, the day's highest pollen count), read through the averaged
same-day window and left empty while air quality is off. The Coach and MCP
gain get_environment: module-gated, clamped to the lookback limit, no
coordinate or place name anywhere, with provenance and the attribution
lines. The settings section gets the switch, the coverage and the newest
day's values; the dashboard shows a quiet chip on a day with high pollen,
a warm night or very poor air. Copernicus and Open-Meteo are credited next
to the values.
