From 5e0b2c037efd54d160d54ea97330e0298628cc8e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: BigBodyCobain <43977454+BigBodyCobain@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 06:38:05 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] feat(ais): surface upstream outage instead of failing silently MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On 2026-05-23, stream.aisstream.io went fully offline (TCP timeouts on port 443). The backend kept respawning the node WebSocket proxy every few seconds with nothing arriving. From the operator's POV the ships layer silently went empty — no banner, no log surfacing, no way to tell whether it was their config / network / viewport filter / upstream. Backend: * ais_proxy_status() now also returns: - connected (bool): true when a vessel message arrived in last 60s - last_msg_age_seconds (int | None) - proxy_spawn_count (int): proxy respawns — sustained growth without connected means upstream is dead * /api/health escalates top status to "degraded" when AIS_API_KEY is set but the proxy is currently disconnected. Existing degraded_tls signal preserved. Frontend: * useAisUpstreamHealth hook polls /api/health every 30s, derives the outage state. Defensively only reports outage once spawn_count > 0 so operators who haven't opted in don't see the banner. * AisUpstreamBanner component renders a dismissible amber notice "Ship data temporarily unavailable — AISStream upstream is offline" mounted on the main app shell. 7 backend tests pin the status-shape contract and the /api/health escalation behavior in both with-key and without-key configurations.
