Description

Fixes browser tab freezing and indefinite "Loading logs…" spinner on the Logs page caused by microtask starvation during concurrent history loading (loadOlder race between viewport fill, unawaited scroll checks, loadAll, and search). Busy callers now share the active in-flight loadOlder Promise, older loads are bound to the store context sequence to discard stale responses across category switches/resets, and background loops end when no progress is made. Also adds a synchronous onMount cleanup and store.dispose() method to abort pending work when navigating away from the page.

Type of Change

  • fix: Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • feat: New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • refactor: Code refactoring without behavioral changes
  • perf: Performance improvement
  • docs: Documentation updates or additions
  • test: Test suite additions or improvements
  • chore: Build, CI, dependencies, or tooling changes

Pre-Submission Governance

  • I built and ran the project locally and verified this change actually works (not just that it compiles)
  • I ran make test locally and all backend tests pass
  • I ran make pre-commit-run (lint + security checks) locally and it passes
  • I pasted real local verification output under Testing Performed below (no placeholder text)
  • This PR is self-contained and is not a duplicate; I have not opened other overlapping or back-to-back PRs for the same change

Changes Made

  • web/src/lib/unifiedlog.svelte.js:
    • Stored active loadOlder() in _olderPromise so concurrent callers await the shared in-flight load instead of spinning on immediate busy-returns.
    • Bound older loads to _contextSeq to discard superseded responses without modifying store state.
    • Added structured outcome values ('advanced', 'no-progress', 'superseded') to terminate loadAll() and setSearchFilter() loops when the cursor does not advance or silent failures occur.
    • Added store dispose() method that increments sequence tokens and aborts background work.
  • web/src/pages/Logs.svelte:
    • Converted onMount callback to synchronous to ensure Svelte registers the returned cleanup handler.
    • Added destroyed guard and teardown cleanup that unsubscribes from WebSocket, clears poll timer, and calls store.dispose().
  • web/src/lib/unifiedlog.test.js:
    • Added regression test suites for concurrent loader event-loop yielding during loadAll() and setSearchFilter().
    • Added tests for stale category discarding, non-advancing cursor loop termination, silent failure termination, and dispose() sequence invalidation.
  • tests/logs.spec.ts:
    • Added Playwright end-to-end browser test with pagination-accurate route override to verify initial log rows render and search input remains responsive while an older page request is held.
  • CHANGELOG.md:
    • Documented fix under ## [Unreleased].

Security & Sensitive Operations

  • No hardcoded secrets, API tokens, passwords, private keys, or private host addresses
  • Untrusted or storage-relative paths use internal/safepath
  • Sensitive operations (restore, deletion, database changes, remapping) preserve safety boundaries
  • N/A — No sensitive logic or path handling changed

Testing Performed

  • Targeted Go unit/integration tests run (go test ./internal/...)
  • Full backend tests run (make test)
  • Go linting and formatting clean (make lint, gofmt, goimports)
  • Security scans passed (make security-check)
  • Frontend tests passing (npm --prefix web test) (if web/ touched)
  • Frontend linting & build clean (npm --prefix web run lint, npm --prefix web run build) (if web/ touched)
  • Pre-commit hooks passed (make pre-commit-run)
  • Not applicable (documentation-only or metadata change)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed freezes on the Logs page when older entries are loading. Searching and viewing the newest entries should remain responsive while older logs load.
    • Improved background loading so it stops when no additional entries are available, and avoids redundant requests when older entries are requested at the same time.

📝 Walkthrough
📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The unified log store now coordinates older-page requests, stops loops without progress, and rejects stale results. The Logs page stops initialisation after teardown and disposes the store. Regression tests and a changelog entry cover the loading changes. CONTRIBUTIONS.md was deleted.

Changes

Logs loading and lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Store lifecycle and context handling
web/src/lib/unifiedlog.svelte.js, web/src/pages/Logs.svelte
The store adds disposal and guards operations against disposed or changed contexts. The Logs page stops asynchronous initialisation after teardown and disposes the store during cleanup.
Shared older-page loading and progress checks
web/src/lib/unifiedlog.svelte.js
Concurrent callers in the same context share an older-page request. Search and full-history loading stop when a request makes no progress or the context changes.
Loading regression coverage
web/src/lib/unifiedlog.test.js, tests/logs.spec.ts, CHANGELOG.md
Unit and browser tests cover loading concurrency, stale results, no-progress cases, errors, disposal, and search responsiveness. The changelog records the fix.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f826c

A temporary network failure can end a search before older matches are checked, leaving the Logs page showing “No logs.” This is a bounded issue to fix or explicitly accept before merging.

- Around line 146-148: Distinguish request failures from empty or non-advancing
pages in loadOlder by returning a failure outcome from its catch path. In the
background search loop, retry failures with a bounded attempt count and delay,
reset the count after progress, and keep stopping on no progress; make loadAll
