* fix(webui): keep the content search from evicting the user's working set
/api/sessions/search?content=1 walks EVERY session and pulls each one through
get_session(), which inserts it into the SESSIONS LRU and marks it
recently-used. On any install with more sessions than sessions_cache_max
(default 300), a single search therefore flushes the whole cache and refills it
with sessions the user is not looking at — the classic buffer-pool
scan-pollution problem. The sessions actually open in the UI are exactly the
ones evicted, and the search is keystroke-debounced, so it repeats while typing.
A scan reads each session exactly once, so nothing it touches has earned
"recently used". get_session_for_scan() reuses a resident session without
promoting it, and reads a cold one straight from disk without caching it. It
returns None rather than raising, since a scan skips what it cannot open.
This is a correctness fix for cache behaviour, not a latency fix. The
multi-second searches that led here were contention, not scan cost: a trivial
/api/profiles took 9.2s in the same window, and a full read+parse of ~1700 real
sessions measures ~4s total.
test_sessions_search_depth_validation patched api.routes.get_session. With the
search reading through the scan accessor it now patches get_session_for_scan —
left unfixed, two of its cases fail and the third passes vacuously against an
empty result set.
Validation:
pytest tests/test_issue4765_sessions_lru_eviction.py
tests/test_sessions_search_depth_validation.py -> 13 passed
Both added eviction tests fail on the pre-fix accessor (verified by revert):
the working set drops from 4/4 to 0/4 resident after one scan.

"""Regression: a malformed/negative ``depth`` on the session content-search
|
|
endpoint must not crash or silently exclude the newest messages.
|
|
|
|
``GET /api/sessions/search?...&depth=<x>`` parsed ``depth`` with a bare
|
|
``int()``. A non-numeric value (e.g. ``?depth=deep``) raised ValueError, which
|
|
propagated to the top-level request handler and surfaced as a generic HTTP 500.
|
|
|
|
``depth`` caps how many leading messages are scanned per session
|
|
(``sess.messages[:depth]``). A negative value sliced as ``messages[:-n]``,
|
|
silently dropping the *most recent* messages from the search instead of capping
|
|
the scan — so a match in a session's latest turn would be missed. depth is now
|
|
clamped to ``>= 0`` (0 keeps its existing "search the whole transcript"
|
|
meaning), mirroring the guard sibling handlers already use.
