Spun off from #220 row 30, tracked in #230. Implements the BATCH_DIR half only — text-service gains its own Postgres access, storing finished batch-download zips in a new text_batch_zips table instead of tempfile.gettempdir()/mothra-text/batches.

What changed

  • text_batch_zips table — created by the existing one-shot migrate.py/init_db() alongside every other table. text-service has no migration infrastructure of its own, and this is the same physical Postgres database, so schema ownership stays centralized rather than reintroducing import-time DDL in a second service (the exact anti-pattern row 31 just removed from the backend).
  • text-service/db.py — a small connection pool + batch_zip_put/batch_zip_get. DML only, no DDL, no cleanup code.
  • /batch-run now zips in memory and stores the bytes; /batch-download/{id} reads them back from Postgres instead of FileResponse-ing a local file.
  • Retentionjob_store.cleanup_stale_batch_zips joins the worker's existing hourly Celery-beat sweep (job_uploads/job_sessions). Since the table lives in the shared DB, the worker cleans it up directly — no new HTTP call to text-service needed — so the old local-disk startup sweep is gone outright, not replaced.
  • DATABASE_URL wired into text-service everywhere it runs: dev.sh (moved start text to after migrate.py, alongside backend/worker, since it now depends on the same schema), docker-compose.yml (+ depends_on: migrate), k8s/text-service.yaml + k8s/staging/text-service.yaml (envFrom: mothra-secrets / mothra-secrets-staging).
  • Doc freshness: CLAUDE.md, k8s/README.md, ALPHA_TRANSITION_PLAN.md updated — the old "needs shared storage at scale" known-follow-up and "batch-zip sweep unchanged" note are both resolved.

NEON_MANIFESTS_DIR (row 30's other half) is tracked separately and lands on its own branch/PR.

Verification

Not yet run end-to-end in this environment (no local Postgres/venvs available here) — all touched Python files pass ast.parse, docker-compose.yml/k8s YAML reviewed for indentation. Before merge: run ./dev.sh, run a real text-finding batch through the UI, download the resulting zip, and confirm SELECT batch_id, octet_length(zip_bytes) FROM text_batch_zips; round-trips with no file appearing under the old tempdir path.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Batch-download ZIP files are now stored centrally, making them available across service replicas.
    • Batch downloads remain available after service restarts and are retrieved reliably by batch ID.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented batch downloads from depending on local server disk storage.
    • Added automatic cleanup of expired batch-download archives to reduce stale data.
  • Documentation

    • Updated deployment and operational guidance to reflect centralized ZIP storage, cleanup behavior, and database configuration requirements.

Alpha 3, row 30's BATCH_DIR half (mothra#230). text-service gains its own
Postgres access (text-service/db.py) instead of writing batch zips to
tempfile.gettempdir()/mothra-text/batches:

- new text_batch_zips table (batch_id, zip_bytes BYTEA), schema created by
  the existing one-shot migrate.py/init_db() alongside every other table --
  text-service has no migration infra of its own and this is the same
  physical Postgres database, so schema ownership stays centralized rather
  than reintroducing import-time DDL in a second service (the exact
  anti-pattern row 31 just removed from the backend).
- text-service/db.py: a small connection pool + batch_zip_put/batch_zip_get,
  DML only -- no DDL, no cleanup code of its own.
- /batch-run now zips in memory and stores the bytes via batch_zip_put;
  /batch-download/{id} reads them back via batch_zip_get instead of
  FileResponse from local disk.
- retention: job_store.cleanup_stale_batch_zips joins the worker's existing
  hourly Celery-beat sweep (job_uploads/job_sessions) -- since the table
  lives in the shared DB, the worker can clean it up directly with no new
  HTTP call to text-service, so the old local-disk startup sweep is gone
  outright rather than replaced.
- wired DATABASE_URL into text-service everywhere it runs: dev.sh (moved
  `start text` to after migrate.py, alongside backend/worker, since it now
  depends on the same schema), docker-compose.yml (+ depends_on: migrate),
  k8s/text-service.yaml + k8s/staging/text-service.yaml (envFrom
  mothra-secrets / mothra-secrets-staging).
- updated CLAUDE.md, k8s/README.md, and ALPHA_TRANSITION_PLAN.md's findings
  register/decision log for doc freshness -- the old "needs shared storage
  at scale" known-follow-up and the "batch-zip sweep unchanged" note are
  both resolved now.

NEON_MANIFESTS_DIR (row 30's other half) is tracked separately -- still
open in mothra#230, landing on its own branch/PR.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The text service now stores batch-download ZIPs in PostgreSQL. Shared schema cleanup removes expired ZIPs. Local, Compose, and Kubernetes deployment configuration supplies DATABASE_URL and coordinates migration startup.

Changes

Batch ZIP storage migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Batch ZIP schema and cleanup
landing-page/scripts/auth_api.py, landing-page/scripts/job_store.py, landing-page/scripts/tasks_cleanup.py
The shared schema creates text_batch_zips. Periodic cleanup deletes expired ZIP rows and reports the deletion count.
Text-service database storage
text-service/db.py, text-service/main.py, text-service/requirements.txt
The text service uses pooled PostgreSQL access for batch ZIP writes and reads. Batch endpoints use in-memory ZIP data and return database-backed responses instead of local files.
Runtime database configuration
dev.sh, docker-compose.yml, k8s/text-service.yaml, k8s/staging/text-service.yaml
Deployments provide DATABASE_URL through shared configuration or Kubernetes Secrets. Local and Compose startup paths ensure migration completion before text-service startup.
Operational documentation updates
CLAUDE.md, documentation_allons-y/ALPHA_TRANSITION_PLAN.md, k8s/README.md
Documentation records PostgreSQL ZIP storage, Celery cleanup ownership, required configuration, and health-probe behaviour.

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

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c3638

This change moves batch ZIP storage to PostgreSQL, but the development startup script can currently discard an exported database URL and start text-service without database access, breaking local batch creation or download. The PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on this configuration fix and the bounded documentation/readiness updates.

In `@CLAUDE.md`:
- Line 56: Update the text_batch_zips documentation to state that
text-service/db.py inserts and reads ZIP records, while the landing-page
worker’s cleanup_stale_batch_zips() deletes stale rows; remove the inaccurate
claim that landing-page never queries the table.
- Around line 923-931: Update the cleanup description in the documentation to
call the former text_batch_zips behavior a “startup-only local-disk sweep” with
its 86400-second TTL, replacing the inaccurate “unswept local-disk TTL” wording
while preserving the surrounding cleanup schedule details.
- Around line 140-144: Update the database setup instructions near the
text-service startup command to state that the migration must be run before
creating or downloading batches, since the /batch-run write also requires
text_batch_zips. Keep the existing migration reference and one-shot migration
guidance consistent.

In `@dev.sh`:
- Around line 214-220: Initialize SHARED_DB_URL from the existing exported
DATABASE_URL before attempting to read landing-page/scripts/.env, so the
inherited value is preserved when the file is absent. Keep the current .env
parsing and quote-stripping behavior, allowing the file’s DATABASE_URL to
override the exported value when present.

In `@k8s/README.md`:
- Around line 214-217: Add a separate database-aware readiness endpoint for
batch availability, checking PostgreSQL connectivity used by batch_zip_put and
batch_zip_get, while preserving /healthz as the liveness probe. Update the batch
service Kubernetes readiness probe to use the new endpoint and leave its
liveness probe targeting /healthz.

- CLAUDE.md: text_batch_zips's schema table row claimed landing-page never
  queries the table -- job_store.cleanup_stale_batch_zips does (DELETE, run
  from the worker). Corrected to describe the actual insert/read/delete split.
- CLAUDE.md: Terminal 2's manual-start comment said the migration only needs
  to run before the first batch *download* -- /batch-run's write
  (batch_zip_put) needs the table too. Now says "batch run or download".
- CLAUDE.md: "unswept local-disk TTL" overstated the old behavior -- there
  was a startup-only sweep with an 86400s TTL, just not a periodic one.
  Reworded to say so.
- dev.sh: SHARED_DB_URL was unconditionally reset to "" before checking
  landing-page/scripts/.env, discarding any DATABASE_URL a developer had
  already exported into their shell (this bug predates this PR -- same
  pattern as the old IC_DB_URL var -- but this PR doubled its blast radius
  by also gating text-service's batch storage on it). Now seeds from an
  already-exported DATABASE_URL first, matching the "environment wins over
  .env" precedence used elsewhere in this repo.
