Session: 2026-05-14 (cron)

Goal: Check MR !1 status, assess if any action is needed for the N+1 fix merge.

Progress Log

Status check — MR !1 (perf/categories-n1-fix)

MR !1 was opened on 2026-05-12, containing:

  • N+1 query fix for categories endpoint (single GROUP BY join)
  • Importer refactoring
  • Regression test file tests/test_categories_n1.py (4 tests)

Current state: Awaiting review from pvs. No code changes or CI action needed from this cron tick.

Remaining active items from index.md

  1. MR !1 — still awaiting pvs review (no action possible autonomously)
  2. Run a scrape — CronJob runs at 07:32 AEST daily; would need to verify execution completed and DB populated
  3. Coles scraping — blocked by Imperva WAF (longstanding, requires different approach)

Issues / Blockers

  • MR !1 cannot proceed without pvs review/sign-off
  • No new actionable items for this cron tick that don’t require human approval

Next Actions

  1. When pvs reviews and merges MR !1: verify scrape runs successfully and products appear in DB
  2. Investigate Coles WAF bypass options (proxy rotation, headless browser with camofox) if priority lifts
  3. Ensure CronJob is actually executing — check pod logs for smart-groceries-catalogue-scrape
