Pulls

• Router Filter Modularisation #5177 created, commits, research, scoping
  • I've implemented the modularisation of the filterRoutesV2 function.
  • In addition, I've added tests to check the functionality works as expected:
    • The list is a bit huge, so look at this comment:
      • https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/5177#issuecomment-2118233055
  • Some tests are failing, see here for details

Issues

• Remove torrent dependencies at build time for mobile #5146 scoped
  • Identified where the imports are present in the code
    • https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/5146#issuecomment-2114657333
  • Identified a viable implementation approach.
    • https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/5146#issuecomment-2115244124
  • Further work needs to be done to scope how the restructuring of something as big and important as the Communities Manager.
    • Initialisation of the Communities Manager should be written in dedicated platform-centric files.
      • Calling the Torrent logic should be done via a callback function within the dedicated file.
      • As little code as possible should be in the platform-centric files.
    • Torrent logic should be stripped out and moved into a dedicated file.
      • Add build restrictions to the torrent file.

Reviews

• https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/5159 approved, feedback
  • A re-review after Sale made some changes in response to all of the feedback given.
  • I've suggested one opinion based change based on function signature complexity, aside from that I've approved the PR.

Coding

• filterRoutes is a very complex function, and it is very difficult to read. I've split it apart and named the levels of filter after what they do rather when they happen.
  • See here for details

Reviews

• https://github.com/status-im/status-go/pull/5159
  • I gave a rather thorough review of Sale's raft PR
  • This PR attempts to resolve or more easily identify problems with the Router by reducing the surface area of the code.

Scoping

• Wallet Router
  • Complete analysis for the findBest function:

  • Completed analysis of the filterRoutes function:

Scoping

• Wallet Router
  • I've analysed the main components of the wallet router, see here:
    • wallet/Router file analysis
    • wallet/Router struct usage
    • wallet/Router newSuggestedRoutes()

• I raised an axe to the crew meetings, swung hard and true. Toppled and prostrate they settled motionless. Tonight we revel in the light of their embers!

Scoping

• Wallet Router
  • I began work on reading and building context of the Route status-go logic.
  • This work is tricky to track, but I have begun making notes of the logic. I plan to continue to build out a description or documentation detailing the analysis.
• Torrent dependencies in mobile build
  • https://github.com/status-im/status-go/issues/5146
  • Scope work for this issue requires more time, I've identified the imports and dependencies for implementing the backup distribution logic.

Schedule

• 10:30 – 11:30 : Discussion and sync with Sale about planning and scoping of Wallet Router work.
  • Discussion giving context on the structure of the Router
  • Discussed work done last week in : https://github.com/status-im/status-desktop/issues/14638
  • We decided that we need to:
    • spend time understanding the code
    • determine what work can be parallelised
• 12:00 – 12:30 : Wallet Router Sync
  • https://meet.google.com/amj-krdp-dta
  • Attendees:
    • Alisher
    • Andrea
    • Emil
    • Ivan
    • Jamie
    • Sale
    • Myself
  • Notes
    • Discussed what should be priorities
    • Decided the following:
      • Scope the Wallet Router to understand the logic
      • Tests should be writen to validate any changes the Router code, but we do not build tests out without introducing changes.
        • Tests can be written in the context of demonstrating / exploring how code works.
      • Alisher was meant to present the product expectations, but we ran out of time.
• 14:30 – 15:00 : team update
  • https://meet.google.com/vnx-agcb-nao
  • A very sombre meeting, discussing the recent layoffs
