Why. Nothing bounds how many page serves run at once: heavyOpsConcurrency caps clones/fetches/repacks, but each serve spawns git children whose memory scales with the window's blob bytes, so enough concurrent blob-heavy windows OOM-kill the pod — and now that long preparations are held instead of bounced, heavy serves actually run long enough to stack.

What changed. A serve_concurrency semaphore (config-required like its heavy sibling; chart value cache.serveConcurrency, default 4) gates the serve phase of every data endpoint at the shared read_snapshot choke point. The permit is taken after open() so a slot is never spent waiting on a preparation, and excess requests wait in-connection; a wait that outlives the preparation ceiling answers a typed 429 with its own quota subject (serve_concurrency) and rejection metric (serve_saturated), distinct from preparation Busy.

Verified. cargo test -p git-cli-proxy (217 lib + 20 boot), helm contract suite (27), cargo fmt --check, clippy pedantic clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added configurable concurrency limits for page-serving requests, with a default of four simultaneous serves.
    • Additional requests wait briefly for an available serving slot, helping control resource usage.
  • Bug Fixes
    • When all serving slots remain busy, requests now return a clear “Too Many Requests” response with 30-second retry guidance.
  • Configuration
    • Added support for configuring the concurrency limit through deployment values and environment overrides.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The git CLI proxy now limits concurrent page serves with a configurable semaphore. Saturated requests receive a bounded 429 response with retry metadata and rejection metrics. Helm values, configuration validation, application state, and tests support the new setting.

Changes

Serve concurrency control

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configuration and state wiring
charts/insight/values.yaml, src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/config/..., src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/helm/..., src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/src/config.rs, src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/src/gear.rs, src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/src/api/mod.rs, src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/tests/boot.rs
Adds serveConcurrency and serve_concurrency settings. Helm renders the value as an integer. Configuration validation rejects zero. GitCliProxyGear::init stores a semaphore in AppState.
Saturation error contract
src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/src/api/error.rs, src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/src/engine/metrics.rs
Adds ApiError::ServeSaturated with a 429 response, a 30-second retry hint, a serve_concurrency quota violation, and the serve_saturated metric label.
Page-serve slot acquisition
src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/src/api/data.rs, src/backend/services/git-cli-proxy/src/engine/store.rs
read_snapshot holds a semaphore permit through page serialization and promotion retry. Slot acquisition uses a bounded timeout and handles closed semaphores. Tests cover waiting and saturation behavior.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d7036

The new serve-concurrency cap can temporarily stall requests during repository promotion and may allow excess waiting connections under sustained saturation. Resolve the guard ordering and bound queued waiters before merge.

612-612: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Add a bound for queued serve requests.

timeout limits how long each request waits. It does not limit how many requests can wait in Semaphore::acquire_owned(). A burst can retain an unbounded number of request futures and connections for the full wait budget. Tokio semaphores queue callers when no permit is available. (docs.rs)

Add bounded admission before this acquisition. Return ApiError::ServeSaturated when the waiter limit is full.

As per coding guidelines, “Bound every unbounded thing at the edge: concurrent requests … queue depths”.

1047-1047: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a poll-state barrier for this waiter test.

yield_now does not guarantee that Tokio polls waiter before Line 1048 drops held. The test can pass when acquire_owned() runs only after the permit is released. Tokio documents that it can immediately poll the yielding task again. (docs.rs)

Notify the test only after a wrapper observes the acquisition future return Poll::Pending, then release held.

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

tokio_version="$(
  awk '
    $0 == "name = \"tokio\"" { found = 1; next }
    found && /^version = / {
      gsub(/"/, "", $3)
      print $3
      exit
    }
  ' Cargo.lock
)"

test -n "$tokio_version"
printf 'Locked Tokio version: %s\n' "$tokio_version"
curl -fsSL "https://docs.rs/tokio/${tokio_version}/tokio/task/fn.yield_now.html" |
