💡 What: The upload_visit_images function was optimized to:

  1. Use image.file.seek(0, 2) and tell() to validate file size without loading the file into memory.
  2. Use the unified process_uploaded_image function for decoding, resizing, and stripping EXIF in one pass.
  3. Use run_in_threadpool to save the file to disk so the event loop isn't blocked.

🎯 Why: The previous implementation read the entire file into memory synchronously (await image.read()) to check its size, which is highly inefficient for large files and can lead to OOM errors. It also did blocking file I/O operations inside the async event loop, reducing concurrency.

📊 Impact: Significantly reduced peak memory usage per request (files are no longer fully read into memory just to check their size). Increased concurrency since the file writing is offloaded to a thread pool.

🔬 Measurement: I ran the system tests (test_blockchain_visit.py and test_verification_feature.py) to verify the file was successfully processed, uploaded, and the endpoint didn't crash. Peak memory impact can be observed via load testing the endpoint with multiple concurrent 10MB images.

Summary by cubic

Optimized the upload_visit_images endpoint to cut memory use and improve concurrency for large image uploads. File size is checked via file seeking, filenames are sanitized to prevent path traversal, and processing/writes are offloaded to keep the event loop responsive.

  • Refactors
    • Validate size via image.file.seek(0, 2)/tell() instead of await image.read().
    • Use process_uploaded_image to decode, resize, and strip EXIF in one pass.
    • Offload disk writes with run_in_threadpool and sanitize filenames via os.path.basename with a safe extension to prevent path traversal.
    • No API changes; same limits and validations (10 images, 10 MB each, allowed extensions).

Written for commit d806130. Summary will update on new commits.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Field officer router refactored to enforce cryptographic visit integrity chaining via previous_visit_hash, validate and securely store uploaded images with size/format/count constraints, enrich check-in/check-out responses with created_at timestamps, optimize visit statistics with JSON caching, and standardize error handling with structured logging across all endpoints.

380-382: ⚡ Quick win

Filename collisions are possible under concurrent uploads for the same visit.

safe_filename = f"visit_{visit_id}_{timestamp}_{idx}.{extension}" uses second-precision timestamp and the in-request idx. Two concurrent upload requests for the same visit_id started within the same wall-clock second will produce identical filenames and silently overwrite each other on disk.

A short random suffix (e.g., uuid4().hex[:8]) makes this collision-proof at negligible cost.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Partial writes leak orphan files when a later image in the batch fails.

Files are written to VISIT_IMAGES_DIR inside the per-image loop (line 385), but the DB commit happens only once after the loop (line 397). If image N trips an HTTPException (bad content type, bad extension, oversized — lines 346, 352, 359, 366, 374) or raises on disk write, images 0..N-1 remain on disk while visit.visit_images is never updated. Repeated failed uploads will accumulate orphans in data/visit_images/.

Two reasonable fixes:

  • Validate all images up front, then write in a second pass; or
  • Track image_paths and os.remove(...) each on failure inside a try/except before re-raising.
🧹 Cleanup-on-failure sketch
         image_paths = []
+        written_files = []

         for idx, image in enumerate(images):
             ...
-            with open(file_path, "wb") as f:
-                f.write(content)
+            try:
+                with open(file_path, "wb") as f:
+                    f.write(content)
+                written_files.append(file_path)
+            except Exception:
+                for p in written_files:

+                    except OSError: pass
+                raise

(Equivalent cleanup also needs to run from the outer except Exception at line 409.)
