Verify candidate finding V13 about cache accumulation in USPS Label Broker CLI migration
The assistant received a detailed candidate finding about memory leaks in the USPS Label Broker CLI migration. It grepped the plugin file for cache-clearing calls (found none), identified the CLI/migrate code locations, read the relevant code sections, checked for an object-cache drop-in (found Redis Object Cache v2.7.0), checked for wp-cli.yml and memory limit configuration (found WP_MEMORY_LIMIT 96M, WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT 1024M), and confirmed no runtime flush calls in the plugin. The assistant then produced a structured verdict confirming the finding with detailed evidence.
outcome
Candidate finding V13 is CONFIRMED with detailed evidence: no cache-clearing calls in the plugin, dry-run mode never evicts blobs leading to guaranteed OOM, real runs self-evict migrated rows but leak skipped rows and WP_Post entries.
next steps
—
key decisions
- Used grep to systematically check for cache-clearing calls rather than manual code review
- Checked for object-cache drop-in and wp-cli.yml to understand the caching environment
- Read specific code sections (process_row, run_for_key, fetch_batch) to understand the migration flow
- Verified memory limit configuration to calibrate the OOM risk
open questions
- Whether WP_REDIS_IGNORED_GROUPS is defined anywhere (not found in wp-config.php)
- Whether the Redis cluster has memory limits that could cause eviction or failure
- Exact number of orders in production (100K-300K is an estimate)
