From 9b5bdd909be6e2d16680f16874c744716fbf119e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: cmxTop Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 20:35:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] fix(#756,#754,#753,#755): UTC date comparisons in claims, exclude health probes from tracing #756 [bug] Claims module does not handle timezone differences in date comparisons: - Introduce UTC helpers (utcNow, utcNowMs, utcPlusMs) in src/common/utils/time.utils.ts - Route all claim-window date comparisons in ClaimsService and ClaimsWorker through the UTC helpers so comparisons against Prisma's UTC-stored policy.endTime are explicit and auditable - Add docs/CLAIMS_TIMEZONE_HANDLING.md auditing every date usage in the claims module - Add tests covering timezone edge cases (UTC midnight boundary, fixed-clock comparisons) in claims.service.spec.ts and time.utils.spec.ts #754 [perf] OpenTelemetry spans created for health check endpoints: - Configure @opentelemetry/instrumentation-http with an ignoreUrls list so /api/v1/health and /health no longer generate spans - Add parseIgnoreUrls() helper; defaults are merged with OTEL_HTTP_INSTRUMENTATION_IGNORE_URLS so built-in health probes are always excluded - Add tests for the exclusion config in opentelemetry.spec.ts #753 [bug] Policy module does not validate oracle threshold range: - Addressed in follow-up commit (DTO range validation for CreateProductDto/UpdateProductDto threshold) #755 [security] API key middleware does not hash stored API keys: - Addressed in follow-up commit (hash API keys with bcrypt/argon2, store only hashes) --- docs/CLAIMS_TIMEZONE_HANDLING.md | 52 ++++++++ src/claims/claims.service.spec.ts | 141 +++++++++++++++++++++ src/claims/claims.service.ts | 22 +++- src/claims/claims.worker.ts | 10 +- src/claims/policy-state-cache.service.ts | 5 + src/common/telemetry/opentelemetry.spec.ts | 45 +++++++ src/common/telemetry/opentelemetry.ts | 43 ++++++- src/common/utils/time.utils.spec.ts | 47 +++++++ src/common/utils/time.utils.ts | 52 ++++++++ 9 files changed, 410 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) create mode 100644 docs/CLAIMS_TIMEZONE_HANDLING.md create mode 100644 src/common/utils/time.utils.spec.ts create mode 100644 src/common/utils/time.utils.ts diff --git a/docs/CLAIMS_TIMEZONE_HANDLING.md b/docs/CLAIMS_TIMEZONE_HANDLING.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b8eadbb --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/CLAIMS_TIMEZONE_HANDLING.md @@ -0,0 +1,52 @@ +# Claims Module Timezone Handling (#756) + +## Problem + +Claim processing compared the current time against the policy's +`endTime` using `new Date()`.
