Summary

Every artifact lookup through a Set's registries fetched the file from the source again, so each task render, form load and step-authz check made a round trip to the bucket. Published files never change once a manifest lists them, so the registries now keep each file by path after the first successful load, in a cache capped at 64 MiB that evicts the least recently used file.

This is needed before the render config can be loaded from the artifacts instead of the task row, and before checks that read artifacts per task can run on list views (officer task lists, LSFLK/lsf-govtech-tnsw#123).

Type of Change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• Documentation update
• Refactoring (no functional changes)
• Performance improvement
• Other (please describe):

Changes Made

• artifact/cache.go: a loader that keeps the files it loads, by path, in a least-recently-used cache capped by total bytes.
  • A failed or missing fetch is not kept; the next lookup tries the source again.
  • Each caller gets its own copy of the bytes, so a parser that keeps or changes its input cannot change what the next caller gets.
  • It holds at most DefaultFileCacheBytes (64 MiB) of content and evicts the least recently used file to make room. One manifest's files come to a few megabytes, so this holds several versions' worth.
  • A file larger than the limit is never kept.
• artifact/set.go: LoadSet builds every registry on that cache. WithFileCacheBytes(n) changes the limit; zero turns the cache off.
  • A manifest.json source (a checkout of an artifacts repository) skips it, since its files may be edited while the process runs. Local edits keep showing without a restart.
  • Manifests are still fetched from the source directly, so the on-demand probe for newer versions is unchanged.
  • LoadSet is the only production constructor, so callers get the cache without a code change.
• artifact/README.md: describes the caching under "Versioned manifests".

Testing

• I have tested this change locally
• I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
• I have tested edge cases
• All existing tests pass

artifact/cache_test.go covers:

• A file shared by two manifest versions is fetched once across repeated lookups.
• A failed fetch is retried, then kept.
• A manifest.json source sees an edited file on the next lookup.
• A parser that overwrites its input does not affect later lookups. This test fails without the copy.
• With room for two files, the least recently used one is evicted and fetched again.
• A file larger than the limit is fetched every time.
• A limit of zero turns the cache off.

go test ./... passes, and go test -race ./artifact/ passes.

Checklist

• My code follows the project's style guidelines
• I have performed a self-review of my code
• I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas
• I have made corresponding changes to the documentation
• My changes generate no new warnings
• I have checked that there are no merge conflicts

Additional Notes

Two lookups that miss on the same path at once may both fetch it. They store the same bytes, so this costs one extra fetch and nothing else.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Successfully fetched artifact files from versioned sources are reused across requests, with a default cache limit of 64 MiB.
  • The cache limit can be configured; setting it to zero disables caching. Failed fetches are retried, and oversized files are not retained.
  • Files from manifest.json sources continue to be fetched on each request, and manifest files are always fetched from the source.
• Documentation
  • Updated the versioned-manifests documentation with caching behavior and configuration details.

Walkthrough

The change adds a byte-bounded LRU cache for artifact files. Versioned sources use it by default, while unversioned manifest.json sources remain uncached. WithFileCacheBytes configures the limit, and tests cover cache behavior and source selection.

Changes: Artifact file caching

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Cache loading and eviction artifact/cache.go, artifact/cache_test.go	The new loader caches successful files by path, returns copies on cache hits, and evicts least-recently-used entries when the byte limit is reached. Tests cover failed loads, oversized files, disabled caching, eviction, and returned-byte isolation.
Set configuration and registry wiring artifact/set.go, artifact/cache_test.go, artifact/README.md	LoadSet defaults to a 64 MiB cache and uses it for versioned sources with a positive limit. WithFileCacheBytes configures the limit. Tests and documentation describe source selection and cache behavior.

• OpenNSW/one-trade-artifacts#243: The issue calls for immutable artifact snapshots and shared files across versions. This change caches published artifact files by path and leaves editable manifest.json sources uncached.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 6c88c

A mutating parser can corrupt shared source bytes on a cache miss and cause a later reload to fail. Copying miss results would close this bounded risk.

bytes after storing them, so callers cannot mutate source-owned data or affect
