Summary

Pure refactor. Moves the arrivals pipeline out of the arrivals-and-departures-for-stop handler into functions a second endpoint can call. No behavior change — the test suite passes untouched.

What changed

  • New internal/restapi/arrivals_core.go holding arrivalsForStop and buildArrivalsReferences.
  • arrivals_and_departures_for_stop_handler.go drops from 744 to 235 lines and now just parses, calls the core, and builds the envelope.
  • arrivalsAccumulator gathers the routes, trips, stops and situations that arrivals reference. This is what makes the code reusable across stops: a caller loops over many stops sharing one accumulator and gets a single deduplicated references block.

Why

The pipeline — the ±1 day service window scan, batch route/trip resolution, per-row arrival construction, reference assembly — was entirely inline and not callable from anywhere. Implementing arrivals-and-departures-for-location without this means duplicating all of it.

Two things worth a look

  • BuildTripStatus now receives the vehicle the caller already looked up instead of nil. Not a fix — it falls back to the same GetVehicleForTrip call when handed nil, so the result is identical. It just drops one redundant lookup per arrival row.
  • The extracted stop reference keeps its inline literal rather than calling buildStopModel. That helper defaults Code to the stop ID when stops.code is NULL, where this endpoint emits an empty string, so adopting it would be a response change rather than a refactor. Happy to switch it in a follow-up if the buildStopModel behavior is the intended one.

Testing

make test passes with zero test file changes — that is the whole correctness argument for this PR.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved arrivals and departures responses when no services match the requested time window.
    • Enhanced handling of arrivals spanning adjacent service days.
    • Improved reliability of real-time predictions, trip status, and reference data.
    • Added route-type filtering support for arrival results.
    • Improved cancellation and error handling during arrival searches.
  • Performance

    • Reduced unnecessary alert, nearby-stop, and reference lookups when no arrivals are available.
    • Improved efficiency when processing arrival results and related trip information.

The arrivals-and-departures-for-stop handler carried its entire
pipeline inline: the +/-1 day service window scan, the batch route and
trip resolution, the per-row arrival construction, and the reference
assembly. Nothing was callable from anywhere else, so a second endpoint
needing arrivals for many stops would have to duplicate all of it.

Move that pipeline into arrivals_core.go behind arrivalsForStop and
buildArrivalsReferences, with an arrivalsAccumulator gathering the
routes, trips, stops and situations that the arrivals reference. The
accumulator is what makes the code reusable across several stops: a
caller loops over stops sharing one accumulator and gets a single
deduplicated references block.

Behavior is unchanged; the test suite passes without modification.

Two details worth noting for review:

BuildTripStatus now receives the vehicle the caller already looked up
rather than nil. It is not a fix -- BuildTripStatus falls back to the
same GetVehicleForTrip call when handed nil -- so the result is
identical, but it drops one redundant lookup per arrival row.

The extracted stop reference deliberately keeps its inline literal
instead of calling buildStopModel. That helper defaults Code to the
stop ID when stops.code is NULL, where this endpoint emits an empty
string, so adopting it would be a response change rather than a
refactor.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The handler now delegates stop-arrival computation and reference assembly to shared helpers. The new core queries active stop times, builds arrivals with real-time data, accumulates related entities, and short-circuits unmatched windows.

Changes

Stop arrivals flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Arrival window and entity loading
internal/restapi/arrivals_core.go
Defines arrival inputs and loads active stop times, routes, trips, frequencies, and stop counts for the requested time window.
Arrival and trip status construction
internal/restapi/arrivals_core.go
Filters matched stop times and builds arrivals with predictions, trip status, metrics, vehicles, frequency data, and situation references.
Response integration and references
internal/restapi/arrivals_core.go
Builds deduplicated trip, stop, route, and agency references, including missing route and stop data.
Handler response flow
internal/restapi/arrivals_and_departures_for_stop_handler.go
Uses the shared helpers. Unmatched windows return an empty envelope without reference, alert, or nearby-stop lookups.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3f979

The refactor can currently convert database lookup failures into successful responses with missing arrivals or stop references, causing clients to receive incomplete data while masking a server-side failure. Merge readiness is moderate until both errors are propagated and handled as server errors.

Comment thread internal/restapi/arrivals_core.go
Comment thread internal/restapi/arrivals_core.go Outdated
Four functions in the extracted core sat above the quality gate's
cognitive complexity threshold of 15: activeStopTimesForWindow at 21,
appendStopReferences at 18, buildArrival at 17 and batchArrivalEntities
at 16.

Pull the distinct sub-tasks out of each:

  - stopTimesForServiceDay, the per-service-day scan
  - uniqueRouteAndTripIDs and tripStopCounts, the batch input and
    stop-count preparation
  - combinedVehicleID and tripStatusForArrival, the vehicle and trip
    status resolution
  - loadStopReferenceData and collectStopRoutes, the reference batch
    load and per-stop route rendering

One behaviour does change. A failed GetStopsByIDs in the stop reference
load is now returned rather than logged and skipped past. Swallowing it
dropped every stop reference and still answered 200, so the entry named
stops the client had no way to resolve; the handler now surfaces it as
a 500. The routes lookup keeps its warn-and-continue, since losing it
only costs each stop its routeIds.

Addressed both review points in f32e903. Quality gate is now green (0 issues).

Cognitive complexity — four functions were over the threshold of 15. Split each into its distinct sub-tasks:

Function Was Extracted
activeStopTimesForWindow 21 stopTimesForServiceDay
appendStopReferences 18 loadStopReferenceData, collectStopRoutes
buildArrival 17 combinedVehicleID, tripStatusForArrival
batchArrivalEntities 16 uniqueRouteAndTripIDs, tripStopCounts

One thing to be careful of if you review that extraction: the per-day loop has two different failure modes. Failing to resolve a day's active services is fatal on day 0 but tolerable on ±1, while failing to read that day's stop_times is tolerable on every day. Collapsing those into a single error return would have made a day-0 stop-times failure fatal. stopTimesForServiceDay keeps them separate.

GetStopsByIDs error — agreed, fixed. It was setting the result to nil and continuing, which dropped every stop reference and still answered 200, so the entry named stops the client had no way to resolve. It now returns the error and the handler surfaces a 500. GetRoutesForStops keeps its warn-and-continue, since losing it only costs each stop its routeIds.

Note that this second fix does make the PR no longer strictly behaviour-preserving — it only fires on a DB failure, so the suite still passes with no test changes, but the description's "no behavior change" is slightly overstated now. Happy to reword it if you'd prefer.

Review summary

Automated review (medium effort) plus manual verification of the merge state against current main. Two correctness/behavior issues should block merge; the rest are cleanup findings worth addressing in follow-up commits.

1. Frequency support is missing, and this PR conflicts with main's frequency work — internal/restapi/arrivals_core.go

This branch predates main's frequency-support work (BuildTripStatus gained a freqMap parameter and callers now populate arrival.Frequency). Verified directly:

  • git merge main into this branch produces a real CONFLICT (content) in arrivals_and_departures_for_stop_handler.go, spanning ~383 lines — this PR's side is a 3-line stub, main's side is the full old inline block that includes all frequency handling.
  • On the clean PR branch (no merge in progress), grep -n "freq\|Freq" returns zero matches in arrivals_core.go, arrivals_and_departures_for_stop_handler.go, and arrival_and_departure_for_stop_handler.go.

So today, any stop served by a frequencies.txt-based (headway) trip gets "frequency": null in /api/where/arrivals-and-departures-for-stop/{id} responses instead of the populated block clients use for "every N minutes" countdown UIs. This isn't something git resolves automatically — whoever merges has to manually re-port frequency support into the new accumulator-based structure. Please rebase onto main and reintroduce frequency handling in arrivals_core.go before merge.

2. GetStopsByIDs failure now returns a hard 500 instead of degrading gracefully — internal/restapi/arrivals_core.go (loadStopReferenceData)

The old handler logged a warning on GetStopsByIDs error and continued with batchStops = nil, still returning 200 with arrivals populated but references.stops incomplete. The new code does:

if err != nil {
    return nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("batch fetch stop references: %w", err)
}

which propagates all the way to api.serverErrorResponse(w, r, err) — a 500. A transient DB blip on the stop-reference batch query (unrelated to the arrivals already computed) now fails the whole request. This is an undisclosed behavior change; the PR description states "no behavior change." Since this sits in the exact region that conflicts with main (see #1), it's worth fixing while resolving that conflict rather than as a separate patch.

3. Dead code: RouteTypes / isRouteTypeAllowed filter is never wired up

stopArrivalsInput.RouteTypes is never set by the only caller (handler_new.go's construction of stopArrivalsInput), so isRouteTypeAllowed is always called with allowed == nil and always returns true. This adds an unreachable branch to the hot per-row loop and a predicate function that looks like live functionality but is untested and unused. Either wire it up or drop it until it's needed.

4. Dead code: arrivalsReferencesInput.stopAgencies is never populated

Same pattern — the only call site never sets stopAgencies, so the per-stop agency lookup in appendStopReferences can never hit. A future contributor could reasonably assume per-stop agency overrides are already implemented and tested.

5. Reuse: route/stop reference building bypasses existing helpers in reference_utils.go

  • appendRouteReferences hand-builds models.Route via models.NewRoute instead of reusing buildRouteModels, the documented single source of truth for gtfsdb.Route -> models.Route mapping.
  • collectStopRoutes manually copies a GetRoutesForStopsRow into a fresh gtfsdb.Route instead of reusing routeReferenceFromStopRow/routeReferencesForStops.

Per CONTRIBUTING.md's Code Reuse guidance, these should call the existing helpers rather than duplicating the conversion logic — otherwise a future schema/null-handling fix applied to the shared helpers won't apply here.

6. Duplication: the singular arrival-and-departure handler still has its own inline reference-building logic

internal/restapi/arrival_and_departure_for_stop_handler.go hand-rolls the same ~110-line stop/route reference-building logic this PR just extracted into arrivals_core.go, leaving two parallel implementations that will drift over time. Worth a follow-up to migrate the singular handler onto the new shared helpers.

7. Design note: arrivalsAccumulator.alertAgencyID is a single scalar despite being documented as multi-stop/multi-agency

If a future arrivals-for-location endpoint loops arrivalsForStop across stops from different agencies while sharing one accumulator (the PR's stated purpose for this type), acc.alertAgencyID will lock onto whichever agency was set first, and later stops' alerts get namespaced under the wrong agency ID. Worth flagging now since it'll be harder to fix once a second caller depends on it.


Requesting changes primarily on #1 and #2 — the rest are good candidates for a follow-up commit or PR.

# Conflicts:
#	internal/restapi/arrivals_and_departures_for_stop_handler.go
The extraction in refactor/extract-arrivals-core predates main's GTFS
frequency work, so merging main in silently dropped frequency data
from arrivals-and-departures-for-stop: BuildTripStatus's freqMap
parameter had nothing feeding it.

Batch-fetch frequencies alongside routes and trips in
batchArrivalEntities, thread the map through arrivalInput, and apply
it in a small applyFrequency helper kept separate from buildArrival
to avoid pushing its cognitive complexity back over the SonarCloud
limit. This also gives the location endpoint frequency support for
free, since it shares the same core.
A hard 500 here means a single failed batch stop lookup takes down an
otherwise complete arrivals response. Match the treatment already
given to the sibling route lookup: log and continue with an
incomplete references.stops rather than failing the whole request.
The prior wording read as if any caller could rely on this field to
namespace alerts. It is only ever read by the single-stop handler; a
multi-stop caller must pass a per-stop agency ID directly to
situations.add instead. Reword to state that plainly rather than
scoping the field, since it is genuinely single-caller today.

Both blockers fixed, branch is up to date with main.

Commits: a412b6e merge, 09d1771 frequency, 9066093 the 500, 3f97961 comment.

Merged main rather than rebasing — CONTRIBUTING says not to rewrite reviewed history. Say the word if you want a rebase instead.

1. Frequency — fixed. Re-ported into arrivals_core.go: batchArrivalEntities returns freqMap via fetchFrequenciesForTrips (fatal on error), tripStatusForArrival passes it as BuildTripStatus's 6th arg, and a new applyFrequency sets arrival.Frequency (guarded, since selectFrequency panics on an empty slice). TestArrivalsAndDeparturesWithFrequency passes unedited — no test file in this PR is modified. #1408 gets frequency for free via the shared core.

2. GetStopsByIDs 500 — reverted to warn-and-continue. Note that 500 came from CodeRabbit's review earlier in this PR, so the two reviews pulled opposite ways. Yours wins.

3 & 4. RouteTypes / stopAgencies — not dead. Both are consumed by #1408, which stacks on this branch: arrivals_and_departures_for_location_handler.go:212 and :163. Standalone they do look unreachable. I'll strip them and move them to #1408 if you prefer this PR self-contained.

5. Reference helpers — I don't think these are safe swaps:

  • buildRouteModels labels routes with its agencyID parameter; appendRouteReferences uses each route's own route.AgencyID. Multi-agency feeds diverge on id, agencyId, and nullSafeShortName.
  • routeReferencesForStops returns utils.MapValues(...) — map order. That would make each stop's routeIds non-deterministic.
  • routeReferenceFromStopRow returns models.Route; collectStopRoutes needs a gtfsdb.Route for the accumulator.

Same call as the buildStopModel note in the description. If buildRouteModels' agency semantics are intended, that's a separate bug worth fixing.

6. Singular handler duplication — agreed, separate PR.

7. alertAgencyID — comment fixed. The field is read only by the single-stop handler (arrivals_and_departures_for_stop_handler.go:172); #1408 passes a per-stop agencyID to situations.add directly (:219), so the mixup can't happen. The comment claimed multi-stop use — reworded.

go vet (both tags), make test, go fmt clean. No conflicts with main.

Return the current-day stop-time query error.

When GetStopTimesForStopInWindow fails for day 0, this returns an empty successful result. The handler then treats the failure as no arrivals and can send a 200 response with missing arrivals. Return a wrapped error here. activeStopTimesForWindow already preserves best-effort handling for spillover days.

Proposed fix
-		return nil, nil
+		return nil, fmt.Errorf("query stop times for %s: %w", serviceDateStr, err)

As per coding guidelines, route database lookup errors other than sql.ErrNoRows through serverErrorResponse as 500.
