Integration pending 4h estimated Tier 5 Scenario Push Engagement — Trigger Engine & Scheduler

Integration Purpose

Verify integration with dependent epics: epic-scenario-push-engagement-foundation

This integration checkpoint ensures proper coordination and compatibility between different epics. It verifies that all interfaces, data flows, and dependencies are correctly implemented before proceeding.

The scenario-edge-function-scheduler must evaluate all active peer mentors within the 30-second Supabase Edge Function timeout. For large organisations, a sequential evaluation loop may exceed this limit, causing partial runs and missed notifications.

Mitigation & Contingency

Mitigation: Design the trigger engine to batch mentor evaluations using database-side SQL queries (bulk inactivity check via a single query rather than per-mentor calls), and add a performance test against 500 mentors during development. Document the evaluated mentor count per scenario type in scenario-evaluation-config to allow selective scenario execution per run.

Contingency: If single-run execution is insufficient, split evaluation into per-scenario-type scheduled functions (inactivity check, milestone check, expiry check) on separate cron schedules, dividing the computational load across multiple invocations.

high impact low prob technical

A race condition between concurrent scheduler invocations or retried cron triggers could cause the same scenario notification to be dispatched multiple times to a mentor, severely degrading trust in the feature.

Mitigation & Contingency

Mitigation: Implement cooldown enforcement using a database-level upsert with a unique constraint on (user_id, scenario_type, cooldown_window_start) so that a second invocation within the same window is rejected at the persistence layer rather than the application layer.

Contingency: Add an idempotency key derived from (user_id, scenario_type, evaluation_date) to the notification record insert; if a duplicate key violation is caught, log it as a warning and skip dispatch without error.

medium impact medium prob integration

The trigger engine queries peer mentor activity history across potentially multiple organisations and chapters. RLS policies configured for app-user roles may block the Edge Function's service-role queries, or query performance may degrade on large activity tables.

Mitigation & Contingency

Mitigation: Confirm the Edge Function runs with the Supabase service role key (bypassing RLS) and add composite indexes on (user_id, activity_date) to the activity tables before implementing the inactivity detection query.

Contingency: If service-role access is restricted by organisational policy, implement a dedicated database function (SECURITY DEFINER) that performs the inactivity aggregation and is callable by the Edge Function with limited scope.
