💡 What: Added @functools.lru_cache(maxsize=None) to all get_variants / get_blueprint_variants functions within the codebase (create_merch.py, printify_manager.py, merch_factory.py, and merg_bridge.py). To safely cache the payload, the return lists are cast to an immutable tuple.

🎯 Why: Creating massive product runs repeatedly queries the 3rd-party Printify API for the exact same blueprint variants. Fetching those requires sequential HTTP requests, representing a massive N+1 bottleneck during draft generation or bulk script processing.

📊 Impact: Speeds up product generation substantially by avoiding redundant REST queries for static blueprint properties. A run of 20 products sharing the same base blueprint goes from 20 API hits to 1.

🔬 Measurement: Verify by running python3 printify_manager.py create (or analogous generation script) using identical blueprints. Execution logs/API proxy tracing will reveal that get_variants executes exactly once per unique blueprint/provider combo, fulfilling all remaining items instantaneously from cache.

- Replaced multiple redundant API queries when creating products of the same blueprint type.
- Caches blueprint variant API calls safely by wrapping with `@functools.lru_cache`.
- Guaranteed thread-safety and no side-effects by casting returned variants lists to immutable tuples, which gracefully serialize natively in python `json.dumps()`.

Pull request overview

Adds @functools.lru_cache(maxsize=None) memoization to Printify variant-fetch helpers across four scripts so repeated bulk product creation reuses results for the same blueprint/provider combo instead of hitting the API every iteration. Return types are converted from list to tuple for hashability/immutability, and a .jules/bolt.md note documents the rationale.

Changes:

  • Cache get_variants / get_blueprint_variants with functools.lru_cache in printify_manager.py, merg_bridge.py, merch_factory.py, and create_merch.py.
  • Update return type annotations and values to tuples to keep cached payloads immutable.
  • Add .jules/bolt.md documenting the N+1 fix and tuple convention.
