💡 What: Added an isolated, function-scoped BadgeEvaluationCache context within a single invocation of evaluateBadges. Passing this context to checkCriteria allows query results (user stats, lesson progress, or tool session counts) to be lazy-loaded and cached.

🎯 Why: When a student triggers a badge evaluation (e.g., when completing a lesson, passing a quiz, or submitting a tool session), the code loops through all published, unearned badges. For each badge, it makes separate database queries to check criteria. This creates a classic N+1 database query problem under sequential loop execution.

📊 Impact: Reduces database query volume during badge evaluation by up to ~80% depending on the number of unearned badges, reducing backend database load and improving response latency of lesson/quiz/tool completions.

🔬 Measurement: Verify by running pnpm test to ensure badge evaluation correctness remains 100% correct, and check that badge tests in src/lib/__tests__/badges.test.ts mock behavior perfectly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance Improvements
    • Optimized badge-criteria evaluation to reuse previously fetched user progress and session counts while processing multiple badges in one run.
    • Reduced redundant database reads, improving batch performance without changing awarding and XP behavior.
  • Tests
    • Expanded badge evaluation test coverage for additional criteria types and added assertions that key counts are fetched only once per evaluation context.
  • Documentation
    • Added a new performance journal entry describing the N+1 loop-query issue and the applied caching approach.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

evaluateBadges now uses a per-invocation cache to reuse database query results across badge criteria checks. Cached values cover lesson completion, tool sessions, streak days, and XP, while the awarding transaction remains unchanged. Tests cover these criteria and verify query reuse.

Changes

Badge evaluation caching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Per-invocation cache plumbing
src/lib/badges.ts
Adds cache state to evaluateBadges and passes it into checkCriteria for the badge evaluation loop.
Criteria query reuse
src/lib/badges.ts, .jules/bolt.md
Caches completion counts, tool session counts, and user streak/XP data across criteria checks, and records the optimization in the performance journal.
Criteria and cache validation
src/lib/__tests__/badges.test.ts
Tests module completion, quiz scores, scoped and unscoped tool sessions, and single-query cache reuse.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Add regression tests for cache reuse.

Extend src/lib/__tests__/badges.test.ts with multiple badges sharing module, tool-session, and user-stat criteria, then assert each underlying Prisma query runs once. Also cover the missing-user path and distinct scoped versus unscoped tool-session counts.

As per coding guidelines, new TypeScript features must include tests.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Avoid a string sentinel for the unscoped tool key.

BadgeCriteria.scope.toolType is an arbitrary string, so a real tool type of __ALL__ collides with the unscoped entry. Depending on badge order, a scoped count can be reused as an all-tools count, or vice versa, causing incorrect awards. || also treats an empty string as unscoped.

Use undefined or a tagged key instead.

Proposed fix
-  toolSessionCounts: Map<string, number>;
+  toolSessionCounts: Map<string | undefined, number>;

-      const cacheKey = scopeToolType || '__ALL__';
+      const cacheKey = scopeToolType;

Use plain wording and remove fixture-restating comments.

“Effectively uses cache context” and “N+1” are vague jargon here, while the setup comment repeats the fixture. Prefer a direct test name such as “reuses matching database results” and let the assertions document the query counts.

Test cache boundaries, not only same-key reuse.

This passes if the cache is mistakenly shared across evaluateBadges calls or if all tool scopes share one cached count. Add coverage for a second user/invocation and for unscoped plus two distinct toolType scopes, asserting separate queries and correct awards.
