Before this change, the Active Downloads / Processing Queue UI showed the
ingestion progress gauge jumping wildly during multi-batch ZIM ingestion
(e.g. 5% → 88% → 27% → 5% → 56% → 36% over ~60 seconds for cooking SE).
Each continuation batch is a separate BullMQ job, and `EmbedFileJob.handle()`
reported `job.progress` in two different reference frames depending on
where it was in the batch lifecycle:
- During-batch (via the onProgress callback): 5% → 95% scaled across
"% through this batch's chunks"
- End-of-batch (just before dispatching the next): overwritten to
`(nextOffset / totalArticles) * 100` — % through the whole file
- Next continuation batch starts with progress = 5% explicitly, then
climbs through the per-batch range again
`listActiveJobs()` returns the latest active BullMQ job's progress. With
GPU-accelerated ingestion completing a batch every ~4 seconds, the UI
saw the jobId rotate constantly and the gauge whipsaw between the two
reference frames.
`totalArticles` was already wired through the EmbedFileJob params shape
and used end-of-batch — but RagService never actually populated it,
so any frame-scaling that depended on it silently fell back to the
per-batch range. Two fixes together:
1. `ZIMExtractionService.extractZIMContent()` now returns
`{ chunks: ZIMContentChunk[]; totalArticles: number }` instead of a
raw chunks array, surfacing `archive.articleCount` to the caller.
Single caller (rag_service) updated to destructure.
2. `RagService.processZimFile()` includes `totalArticles` in its result
so `EmbedFileJob.dispatch()` can propagate it to the continuation
batch (which the existing code already does via
`totalArticles: totalArticles || result.totalArticles`).
3. `EmbedFileJob`'s onProgress callback scales the service-reported
per-batch percent into the overall-file frame when `totalArticles`
is known: `((batchOffset + (percent/100) * ZIM_BATCH_SIZE) /
totalArticles) * 100`. Capped at 99% to leave room for the explicit
100% set at file completion. Falls back to the original 5-95% range
for single-batch files (uploaded PDFs/txts) where totalArticles is
undefined — the gauge then represents % through the only batch,
which is what the UI expects for one-shot files.
Validated on NOMAD8 (RX 6800, ROCm-accelerated nomic):
- devdocs python (small, ~1500 articles): batch progressions seen
monotonically across continuation jobIds:
1501@30% → 1510@33% → 1514@43% → 1518@52%.
- ifixit (huge, ~100k articles): stays near 3% for the first many
batches at offset 0..3000 — correct, the file is enormous.
- wikipedia_en_medicine (large, ~70k articles): stays near 0-1% for
the first batches — also correct.
- Brief 0-5% blip on continuation handoff (the explicit
`safeUpdateProgress(job, 5)` at batch start, before the first
onProgress callback fires) — visible but quickly resolves to the
overall-frame value. No more 5% ↔ 88% chaos.
Adds a check to RAG health to make sure nomad_qdrant is online, if not
then the user will be blocked from clicking any buttons in the KB modal
until they click the start qdrant button and let the container start
There is a new file qdrant_restart_policy_provider.ts, which tries to
ensure that the restart policy always exists for the nomad_qdrant
container even though the policy should have been there when the
container is created.
Three bugs in the RAG embedding pipeline, diagnosed and patched by @sbruschke
against v1.31.0 with working before/after chunk counts. All three are
root-cause contributors to #388.
1. scanAndSyncStorage queued every file under /storage/zim/ for embedding,
including Kiwix's generated kiwix-library.xml. EmbedFileJob rejected it
with "Unsupported file type" and the default 30-attempt retry policy
kept it looping on every sync, flooding nomad_admin logs. Now gated on
determineFileType(filePath) !== 'unknown'.
2. hasMoreBatches compared zimChunks.length (section-level chunk count
under the 'structured' strategy) against ZIM_BATCH_SIZE (an article
limit). Because articles emit multiple sections, the two are never
equal for real archives and processing silently stopped after the
first 50 articles. Now gated on articlesInBatch >= ZIM_BATCH_SIZE.
3. extractStructuredContent walked only direct children of <body>, so any
ZIM that wraps content in a container div (Devdocs, Wikipedia,
FreeCodeCamp, React docs, etc.) produced zero sections and silently
embedded zero chunks while reporting success. Now walks the full DOM
via $('body').find('h2, h3, h4, p, ul, ol, dl, table'), with a
whole-body text fallback when the selector walk yields nothing.
Before/after chunk counts confirmed by @sbruschke on v1.31.0:
devdocs_en_git 0 -> 916
devdocs_en_react 0 -> 481
devdocs_en_node 0 -> 423
libretexts_en_eng 1 -> 35 (climbing)
Wikipedia resumed progressing normally through its 6M articles.
