Caught live on a rig: every plugin failing, once each, continuously.
ERROR - src.plugin_system.plugin_manager - plugin geochron operation failed:
ResourceMetrics.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument
'consecutive_failures'
ERROR - ... plugin text-display operation failed: ...
ERROR - ... plugin news operation failed: ...
ERROR - ... plugin odds-ticker operation failed: ...
with /api/v3/health reporting plugin_system: not_initialized while the display
process itself kept running and updating the panel.
`consecutive_failures` is a plugin_health field, not a metrics one.
get_metrics() does ResourceMetrics(**cached), which raises TypeError on a
single unrecognised key, and that exception escapes into plugin_manager and is
reported per plugin. One malformed cache entry takes the whole plugin system
down.
How a health-shaped record came to sit under a plugin_metrics key on that
machine is not established, and I could not finish the diagnosis: the rig went
back into its EIO failure mode partway through -- SSH resetting pre-banner,
systemctl unexecutable -- while the web API kept answering from RAM. Checked
before that: the cache files on disk are correctly shaped and separate, and
CacheManager.get() returns the right record for each key, so it is not a live
key collision. A restored backup mixing two machines' caches is the likeliest
explanation, and that rig had one restored onto it.
Either way the loader should not be brittle enough for the answer to matter.
plugin_health already repairs its records field by field rather than trusting
what is on disk; this does the same. Known fields are kept, unknown ones are
dropped and named once in the log so a genuine schema change stays visible
rather than being silently discarded, and a non-mapping entry no longer raises.
Keeping the known fields matters: discarding the record wholesale would throw
away real call counts and timings because of an unrelated stray key.
Mutation-checked: restoring ResourceMetrics(**cached) fails 6 checks, dropping
the whole record fails the field-preservation check, and dropping unknown
fields silently fails the logging check. 28 tests pass across the resource
monitor and plugin health suites.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe resource monitor now validates cached metrics records, removes unknown fields, logs warnings, and falls back to fresh metrics when entries are invalid. New tests cover malformed, mixed, clean, non-mapping, and incorrectly typed cache values. ChangesMetrics cache resilience
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The cache loader now tolerates unknown fields and malformed entries, but it still accepts incompatible values such as a string for call_count; those values can fail during later metric updates or formatting. The PR is not merge-ready until invalid values are reset or rejected and covered by a test, or the risk is explicitly accepted. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Support the mapping contract and test it. The loader rejects valid mapping implementations because it requires dict.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Reject incompatible cached metric values and verify the fallback. Dataclass construction does not validate annotated field types, so a value such as "not a number" can survive cache loading and fail later during metric updates or summary formatting. Validate recognized cached values before constructing ResourceMetrics, reset incompatible values to their defaults, and assert the fallback in test/test_metrics_cache_unknown_fields.py.

Caught live on ledpi, not by code reading. Every plugin failing, once each, continuously:
with
/api/v3/healthreportingplugin_system: not_initializedwhile the display process itself kept running and updating the panel.The defect
consecutive_failuresis a plugin_health field, not a metrics one.get_metrics()does:which raises
TypeErroron a single unrecognised key. That escapes intoplugin_managerand is reported per plugin. One malformed cache entry takes the whole plugin system down.What I could and couldn't establish
Checked before losing the machine:
plugin_metrics:*has metrics keys,plugin_health:*has health keysCacheManager.get()returns the right record for each keySo it is not a live key collision. A restored backup mixing two machines' caches is the likeliest explanation, and that rig had one restored onto it.
I could not finish the diagnosis: ledpi went back into its EIO failure mode partway through — SSH resetting pre-banner,
systemctlunexecutable — while the web API kept answering from RAM. That's the fifth occurrence, and the first I've watched happen inside ten minutes.But the loader shouldn't be brittle enough for the answer to matter.
plugin_healthalready repairs its records field by field rather than trusting what's on disk (that's what #464 added); this does the same.The fix
Keeping the known fields matters — discarding the record wholesale would throw away real call counts and timings because of one unrelated stray key.
Verification
8 new tests, 28 passing across the resource-monitor and plugin-health suites.
ResourceMetrics(**cached)One test bug worth recording: my log assertion used
record.message, which isn't populated until a handler formats the record, so it never matched despite the message being right there in the captured output.getMessage()is the correct spelling.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
