From 02b4dcc211a3a259e16d13fa16e65ed1ea73eb26 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Snelling Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2025 08:32:36 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix: resolve cache poisoning causing silent failures on container restart Root Cause: Cache Poisoning - getNode() checked cache BEFORE any v3.37.6 logging (early return) - Cache likely contained null values from previous failed attempts - Early return skipped ALL diagnostic logging (100% silent failure) Direct GCS SDK Test Proved Files Exist: - Same files, credentials, paths work perfectly with direct @google-cloud/storage calls - Files exist in GCS with valid JSON (manually verified) - Brainy's getNode() returned null with NO logs - This confirmed the bug was in Brainy's caching logic, not GCS Fixes Applied to Both GCS and S3 Storage Adapters: 1. Cache Check Logging (Reveal Poisoning): - Log cache state BEFORE returning cached value - Show if cache contains null, undefined, or valid object - Helps diagnose what's being cached 2. Never Cache Null Values: - Only return cached value if it's valid (not null/undefined) - Only cache nodes after successful load with validation - Never cache null results from 404 errors - Explicit logging when NOT caching invalid nodes 3. Clear Cache on Init (Fresh Start): - Clear all cache entries during storage initialization - Ensures containers start with fresh cache (no stale nulls) - Prevents cache poisoning from persisting across restarts Expected Outcome: - Container restart will now successfully load entities from storage - Cache poisoning cannot cause silent failures - Comprehensive logging will reveal any remaining issues - Same fix benefits both GCS and S3 users --- src/storage/adapters/gcsStorage.ts | 38 +++++++++++++++--- src/storage/adapters/s3CompatibleStorage.ts | 43 ++++++++++++++++++++- 2 files changed, 75 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/storage/adapters/gcsStorage.ts b/src/storage/adapters/gcsStorage.ts index bbe0261d..4f9c0b21 100644 --- a/src/storage/adapters/gcsStorage.ts +++ b/src/storage/adapters/gcsStorage.ts @@ -238,6 +238,13 @@ export class GcsStorage extends BaseStorage { // Initialize counts from storage await this.initializeCounts() + // CRITICAL FIX (v3.37.7): Clear any stale cache entries from previous runs + // This prevents cache poisoning from causing silent failures on container restart + prodLog.info('๐Ÿงน Clearing cache from previous run to prevent cache poisoning') + this.nounCacheManager.clear() + this.verbCacheManager.clear() + prodLog.info('โœ… Cache cleared -
