Fixes #1845

What it does

Adds staticGtfsHash, the hex sha256 of the raw static GTFS zip Maglev loaded, to /api/v2/metadata.json and /healthz?verbose=true. Watchdog can poll it and re-pull the static feed when it changes.

Root cause

Watchdog refreshes its static feed every 24h on its own schedule, so after a new bundle ships it can validate GTFS-RT against an older bundle than Maglev serves. Maglev already stored the hash (import_metadata.file_hash, the static ETag) but never exposed it. The two handlers' duplicated DataFreshness code now shares one dataFreshness helper.

Testing

  • Test failing on main before this change: n/a
  • Manual check: ran Maglev with testdata/raba.zip:
    $ curl -s 'localhost:4010/api/v2/metadata.json?key=test'
    {"staticGtfsLastUpdated":"2026-10-26T17:28:59.631477461Z","staticGtfsHash":"aac8f1d4893f7c16cd3c5e08460ee9e8a25a8a9e4cdf67ffb6ebc9f7feb4208e","realtimeFeeds":{...}}
    $ sha256sum testdata/raba.zip
    aac8f1d4893f7c16cd3c5e08460ee9e8a25a8a9e4cdf67ffb6ebc9f7feb4208e  testdata/raba.zip

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Health and metadata responses now include the hash of the static transit data bundle when available.
    • Verbose health responses include static and realtime data freshness details. The static update time is omitted when unavailable, and metadata responses omit the bundle hash when no static data has been imported.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Health and metadata requests now return an unavailable response when freshness information cannot be retrieved.

Walkthrough

The freshness response now includes the static GTFS hash. The verbose health and metadata handlers use shared freshness data and return an unavailable response when its lookup fails.

Changes: Static GTFS freshness

Layer / File(s) Summary
Freshness data and health response
internal/restapi/health_handler.go, internal/restapi/health_handler_test.go
The shared freshness helper returns realtime feed times and, when import metadata exists, the static hash and nonzero UTC import time. The verbose health handler returns unavailable if the helper fails. Tests cover the hash and missing-metadata error response.
Metadata response and validation
internal/restapi/metadata_handler.go, internal/restapi/metadata_handler_test.go
The metadata handler uses the shared helper and returns unavailable if it fails. Tests check the hash, its omission when no import has occurred, and the response when the import-metadata query fails.

Explanation

Direct linked issue #1845 requires: (1) a hash field in GET /api/v2/metadata.json, (2) omission or null before any import, and (3) tests for the new field.

(1) Met. DataFreshness now has StaticGtfsHash string with tag json:"staticGtfsHash,omitempty". dataFreshness sets it from metadata.FileHash (the import_metadata.file_hash value named in the issue). metadataHandler returns this value.

(2) Met. The field uses omitempty. dataFreshness returns early with no hash when GetImportMetadata returns sql.ErrNoRows. TestMetadataHandler_NoImportOmitsHash asserts the key is absent.

(3) Met. TestMetadataHandler_StaticGtfsHash compares the response with an independent SHA-256 of testdata/raba.zip. TestMetadataHandler_ImportMetadataQueryFails covers the error path.

The Watchdog-side work named in the issue is out of Maglev scope and is not required here.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes serve the #1845 objective of exposing the loaded static bundle identity to Watchdog.

  • The dataFreshness helper replaces duplicated freshness code in both handlers. This refactor supports the new field.
  • The /healthz?verbose=true hash field exposes the same identity through the existing verbose health output. The issue does not name this endpoint. It is still the same Watchdog sync feature and does not add unrelated behavior.
  • The 503 response on non-sql.ErrNoRows database errors in metadataHandler and healthHandler is a behavior change. It follows directly from the helper returning errors, so the handlers do not report a missing bundle after a failed read. The issue does not request it, but it is not unrelated.

No change is unrelated to the stated objective. The added tests cover the new behavior.

Thanks @Ahmedhossamdev, this looks good. The hash comes straight from the import_metadata.file_hash value that the conditional reimport already keys on, so Watchdog compares against the same bytes Maglev decided to load. Folding the two copies of the freshness code into dataFreshness and returning 503 when the read actually fails (not when there's no import yet) is a good catch.

Both endpoints are Maglev-only (Java production 404s on /api/v2/metadata.json and /healthz), so there's no parity question here. I'll file an issue to document the new field and the 503 case on the wiki.

A couple of small nits, not blocking:

  • f in healthHandler could be dataFreshness or fresh.
  • dataFreshness now reads import_metadata itself while GetStaticLastUpdated still does the same read for the freshness middleware. Fine for now, but it could become one manager method later.

Watchdog validates GTFS-RT data against its own copy of the static
feed, which it refreshes every 24h. After an agency publishes a new
bundle, Maglev can serve it long before Watchdog picks it up, and
Watchdog reports problems that don't exist.

Add staticGtfsHash, the hex sha256 of the raw static zip already
stored in import_metadata, to /api/v2/metadata.json and to
/healthz?verbose=true. A consumer can poll it, re-pull the feed when
it changes, and verify the download with sha256sum.

Both handlers built DataFreshness with the same code, so move it into
one dataFreshness helper.
Decoding into DataFreshness reads the field through the same JSON tag
the handler writes with, so a misspelled tag would still pass. Decode
into a map and check the literal key Watchdog depends on.
dataFreshness read the hash through GetSystemETag, which returns ""
for any error. A failed import_metadata query then looked the same as
a database with no import yet: 200 with no staticGtfsHash, so a
consumer can't tell "no bundle" from "couldn't read it".

Read import_metadata once in dataFreshness. sql.ErrNoRows still leaves
the static fields empty; any other error is returned, and
metadata.json and healthz?verbose=true answer 503 "unavailable".
GetSystemETag keeps its empty-value behavior for the ETag middleware.
