Pull request overview
Implements blockchain-style hash chaining for FieldOfficerVisit records by storing each visit’s predecessor hash, adding a small in-process cache to speed up chaining during check-in, and introducing an API endpoint to verify visit integrity.
Changes:
- Added
previous_visit_hashtoFieldOfficerVisitplus a lightweight migration/index creation. - Updated visit hash generation to normalize timestamps and include the previous hash for chaining.
- Added
/api/field-officer/{visit_id}/blockchain-verifyand new tests covering visit chaining and tamper detection.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
visit_last_hash_cache is updated with the newly computed visit_hash before the DB write is committed. If db.commit() fails/rolls back, the cache will point at a hash that does not exist in the DB, causing subsequent visits to chain incorrectly. Update the cache only after a successful commit (and consider invalidating it on exceptions/rollbacks).

The visit chaining cache trusts the in-process last_hash without validating it against the DB tail. In multi-worker deployments or after out-of-band writes, this can chain to a stale hash and permanently fork the chain. Consider caching both last_id and last_hash and comparing them to SELECT id, visit_hash ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 1 (similar to GrievanceService.create_grievance’s cache consistency check) before using the cached value.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
There is a race condition for concurrent check-ins: two requests can read the same prev_hash (from cache or the DB) and both commit visits pointing to the same previous_visit_hash, effectively forking the chain. If the chain must be strictly linear, this needs serialization at the DB level (e.g., locking/transactional “read last then insert”, or a monotonic sequence/unique constraint that prevents two rows from sharing the same predecessor).

/blockchain-verify recomputes the visit hash using the stored previous_visit_hash, but it never checks that previous_visit_hash actually matches the current visit_hash of the previous visit record. As a result, tampering with an earlier visit won’t invalidate later visits when verified individually. If the goal is chain continuity, add an O(1) lookup of the previous record (or store a previous_visit_id) and compare its visit_hash to previous_visit_hash as part of verification.

generate_visit_hash now (1) strips microseconds / changes datetime formatting and (2) includes previous_visit_hash in the hashed payload. Any existing field_officer_visits.visit_hash values generated with the old algorithm will no longer verify, even if the rows are untampered. To avoid breaking verification in production, consider versioning the hash scheme (try legacy computation when verification fails) and/or migrating existing rows by recomputing/storing hashes + previous hashes in a backfill.

The test claims to use an isolated SQLite DB (SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL), but Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine) / drop_all(bind=engine) uses the app’s global engine from backend.database (defaults to sqlite:///./data/issues.db). This can clobber the developer/CI database and will also interfere with other tests. Create a dedicated test engine (e.g., from SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL or a tmp_path) and override get_db (as tests/test_blockchain.py does) so the app uses the isolated session, and ensure teardown removes only the test DB.

db = next(get_db()) retrieves a session from the dependency generator but never closes it (the generator’s finally: db.close() won’t run). Use a dedicated session fixture / dependency override, or ensure the generator is properly closed (e.g., via context management) to avoid leaking connections and causing SQLite locking issues.
- Add previous_visit_hash column to FieldOfficerVisit model - Implement O(1) chaining using visit_last_hash_cache - Normalize timestamps for deterministic hashing across DBs - Add O(1) blockchain verification endpoint for visits - Ensure compatibility with existing blockchain verification patterns - Fix regressions in existing blockchain tests - Add comprehensive test suite for visit integrity chaining
This PR implements a cryptographically chained blockchain for Field Officer visits, optimizing both the creation and verification paths.
💡 What:
previous_visit_hashcolumn to theFieldOfficerVisitmodel to link records in a cryptographic chain.visit_last_hash_cache(TTL=3600, max_size=2) to enable O(1) chaining by eliminating redundant database queries for the previous hash during check-in./api/field-officer/{visit_id}/blockchain-verifythat performs O(1) integrity validation.🎯 Why:
The original implementation lacked continuity verification between visits. Verifying the entire chain's integrity previously would have required an O(N) database scan. This optimization allows for immediate, single-record integrity checks while maintaining the security of a distributed ledger style chain.

Summary by cubic
Adds cryptographic chaining for Field Officer visits to ensure tamper-evident records and fast integrity checks. Check-ins now link to the previous visit hash, and verification runs in O(1).
New Features
previous_visit_hashtoFieldOfficerVisitand included it in visit hash generation.visit_last_hash_cache(TTL 1h, max_size 2) with DB fallback on cache miss for O(1) chaining.Migration
init_dbadds theprevious_visit_hashcolumn and index on startup; no manual steps required.Written for commit e02a857. Summary will update on new commits.
