Traced local_db (bgp_routes/rpki_roas) 2026-07-17: two systemd import
timers on Erik have run "successfully" daily since creation (2026-04-28)
while doing zero real work -- bgp-importer's Route Views source URL is
invalid (parses 0 routes every run, the 36 rows are a one-time manual
seed), rpki-importer's feed URLs are both dead and it silently falls
back to 5 hardcoded fake ROAs re-upserted daily. The watchdog meant to
catch this has itself failed every run since creation (Postgres auth
error), so nothing ever alerted.
No user-facing endpoint reads from local_db -- only this health check
and the unused /api/bgp route do. Gating overall `status` on
bgp_routes/rpki_roas row counts meant /api/health reported "degraded"
permanently for a dependency nothing actually needs, which could mask
a real future degradation behind the noise. Still reports the raw
local_db stats (including its own `healthy` sub-field) for diagnostic
visibility; only removed it from the top-level status gate.
Verified live on Erik: status now reports "ok" when RPKI/ASPA freshness
is fine, instead of permanently "degraded".
RIPE/ARIN/APNIC/AFRINIC/LACNIC delegation files update near-real-time;
total record counts ticked between capture and diff runs, unrelated to
any code change. Same class of fix as the earlier ASPA-feed and Atlas
probe exclusions.
fetchBgpHeNet moved as-is, not removed, despite being confirmed dead code
in practice (its only call site in /api/lookup is hardcoded to
Promise.resolve(null)) -- that's a "disabled pending re-enable" state, a
bigger behavioral decision than this extraction pass should make alone.
Also widened the smoke-test harness's volatile-path exclusions: the live
Cloudflare RPKI feed's ASPA object count ticks between runs (independent
of any code change here), and the field appears under three different
names (aspa_map.entries, aspa_adoption.total_objects, plus the derived
delta_from_previous) that weren't all covered by the existing aspa_objects
exclusion. Re-captured baseline accordingly.
Verified via smoke-test harness (28/28 match). server.js: 4827 -> 4575 lines.
Boots server.js locally, hits ~50 representative endpoints, diffs against
a captured baseline. Regression gate for the upcoming server.js -> server/
module split (see plan at ~/.claude/plans/linked-riding-newell.md).
