Assess production MySQL server health and create a status review document

Done

The assistant gathered local Laravel/WordPress config context, collected server metrics via commands run by the user (hostname, uptime, memory, disk, processes), performed web searches to confirm MySQL 5.7 EOL status, analyzed Performance Schema digests and InnoDB status from the user's past snapshots, and compiled findings into a root-level Markdown note (PRODUCTION_MYSQL_STATUS_REVIEW.md). The document covers environment, health summary, configuration analysis, workload analysis, locking notes, risk ranking, and deferred action items.

outcome

A detailed production MySQL status review document was created and saved as PRODUCTION_MYSQL_STATUS_REVIEW.md (untracked).

key decisions

  • Decided to create a review document rather than apply changes.
  • Noted MySQL is containerized (no systemd service), so standard service commands don't apply.
  • Confirmed MySQL 5.7 is end-of-life as of October 2023.
  • Noted the server has ample RAM/disk headroom but innodb_buffer_pool_size (~11GiB) is under-allocated for a 32GB dedicated DB host.

open questions

  • Should innodb_buffer_pool be increased, and to what value after a monitoring window?

Investigate the purge eligibility cutoff configuration and dashboard display

Done

Traced the Purge Progress cutoff from config env vars (ORDER_PURGE_MIN_DAYS default 90, ORDER_PURGE_MIN_YEARS_ORDER_AGE default 2) through git blame, confirming the configuration history back to May 2024. Examined the dashboard display (orders_purged vs orders_pending_purge) and found the pending count is computed by Order::countOrdersPendingPurge(). The investigation completed the understanding of the cutoff parameters and display logic.

outcome

Fully traced purge cutoff configuration to env vars with defaults, understood dashboard display and config history.

next steps

—

key decisions

  • Confirmed purge cutoff is controlled by ORDER_PURGE_MIN_DAYS (default 90) and ORDER_PURGE_MIN_YEARS_ORDER_AGE (default 2).
  • Traced config history back to May 2024 and confirmed current defaults.

open questions

  • Does the production .env override the default values for ORDER_PURGE_MIN_DAYS and ORDER_PURGE_MIN_YEARS_ORDER_AGE?

Identify do_not_disable exclusion and defense-in-depth gaps in order purge logic

Done

Investigated a reported discrepancy between the dashboard pending-purge count and storage impact estimate. Found that actual purge execution paths (qualifiesForPurge, getOrdersPendingPurge) correctly filter orders with do_not_disable and has_subscription, but the storage impact query (pending_purge_photo_storage_bits) does not, potentially overstating storage tied to protected orders. Additionally, the manual and batch purge paths (queuePurge, BatchPurgeOrders, purgePhotos) lack re-validation of qualifiesForPurge before destructive work, creating a defense-in-depth gap. The automatic scheduled purge path (PurgeOrders command) correctly filters DND and subscriber orders.

outcome

Two gaps identified: storage impact estimate missing DND exclusion, and manual/batch purge paths lacking re-validation of order's purge eligibility.

next steps

  • Consider aligning the storage impact query in FOSHelpers.php to also filter on do_not_disable and has_subscription.
  • Add qualifiesForPurge re-validation in queuePurge, BatchPurgeOrders, and purgePhotos methods.

key decisions

  • Confirmed automatic purge paths correctly filter DND/subscriber orders.
  • Recognized storage impact query as cosmetic reporting discrepancy, not functional bug.
  • Identified defense-in-depth gap in manual/batch purge paths.

open questions

  • Should the storage impact query be updated to include do_not_disable and has_subscription filters?
