Wrap next/link in a shared Link component that ships prefetch=false by
default, so no route is ever prefetched (viewport or hover) anymore, and
drop the DNS prefetch hint. Removes hidden background requests that were
the source of intermittent issues.
Database:
- Add missing indexes (users.credits, users_currency(type,amount),
users_settings.respects_received, camera_web.timestamp,
messenger_offline.user_id) via migrations 0020/0021
- Use partial .select() everywhere instead of SELECT * (tickets, users,
rooms, audit logs, catalog tree, polls, radio, password reset)
- Add queryPrepared/queryPreparedOne (server-side prepared statements)
and switch the login check to a prepared statement; drop dead
cache options from the pool config
- Raise total_users/total_rooms COUNT(*) cache TTL to 5m
Caching:
- Consolidate the three cache helpers (cached, redisCache, cachedQuery)
into a single memory-first implementation backed by Redis
- invalidateKey now clears the in-process cache as well as Redis
- Cache homepage sections, news list, and leaderboard tabs; share one
news_list cache key between homepage and news archive
- siteSettings: in-process cache with TTL so repeated getters no longer
pay a Redis round-trip per call
- Share a 10s poll cache across all radio SSE connections
- Normalize timestamps after cache reads (Redis JSON round-trip)
Assets:
- Enable AVIF/WebP via images.formats and remove unoptimized from news
covers and the homepage hero (149KB jpg) with proper sizes/priority
- Support ?format=webp|avif|png in the /imaging proxy via sharp
Other:
- Fix pnpm supply-chain minimumReleaseAge failures by excluding the
freshly-published packages (next 16.3.1, hookform resolvers 5.8.0,
resend 6.20.0)
- Remove unused before/after fields from housekeeping AuditEntry
Remove the per-route 'export const instant = false' opt-outs now that the root layout carries the single Cache Components opt-out. Child pages inherit the opt-out, so admin/mod/radio leaf pages that only access cached or DB data stay instant while runtime-dependent pages remain dynamic. Update the staff-smoke contract test to assert the root-layout contract.
.catch(() => null) unioned the query result with null, so destructuring
the first row failed typecheck (TS2488). Return an empty array on failure
instead and drop unused connection/desc imports.
