⚡ Bolt: Add composite index for spatial queries

💡 What:
Added a composite index ix_issues_status_lat_lon on columns (status, latitude, longitude) to the issues table.

🎯 Why:
Spatial queries (finding nearby issues) always filter by status='open'. The SQLite query optimizer was sometimes choosing a suboptimal index (single column status or single column latitude), leading to inefficient lookups. A composite index allows the database to satisfy the query entirely from the index (Covering Index), avoiding table lookups and reducing query time.

📊 Impact:

  • Reduces spatial query time by >95% in micro-benchmarks (from ~1.6ms to ~0.07ms).
  • Optimizes "Find Nearby Issues" and "Spatial Deduplication" features.

🔬 Measurement:
Verified using a reproduction script (reproduce_issue.py) simulating 50,000 issues. Validated existing functionality with tests/test_spatial_deduplication.py.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Optimized database query performance by adding a composite index to improve location-based search operations.

✏️ Tip: You can customize this high-level summary in your review settings.

Adds a composite index `(status, latitude, longitude)` to the `issues` table.
This significantly improves performance of spatial queries that filter by status (e.g., finding open issues nearby), which are used in deduplication and map views.

Benchmark results (reproduce_issue.py):
- Separate indexes: ~1.6ms
- Composite index: ~0.07ms
- Improvement: >95%

This optimization allows SQLite to use a COVERING INDEX scan instead of filtering rows after a partial index scan.

Modifies:
- `backend/models.py`: Adds `Index` to `Issue` model.
- `backend/init_db.py`: Adds manual migration step to create the index.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes introduce a composite database index on the issues table spanning status, latitude, and longitude columns to optimize spatial queries filtered by status. The index is declared in both the SQLAlchemy model schema and the database initialization script.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Composite Index Addition
backend/models.py, backend/init_db.py
Added composite index ix_issues_status_lat_lon on (status, latitude, longitude) columns. Defined in model via __table_args__ and created in init script with try/except error handling to account for potential duplicate index scenarios.

Pull request overview

This PR adds a composite index to optimize spatial queries that filter by issue status. The implementation includes both the SQLAlchemy model definition and a database migration script.

Changes:

  • Added composite index ix_issues_status_lat_lon on columns (status, latitude, longitude) to the issues table
  • Updated the Issue model with __table_args__ to define the composite index declaratively
  • Added migration logic in init_db.py to create the index for existing databases

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.

File Description
backend/models.py Added Index import and defined composite index in Issue model using __table_args__
backend/init_db.py Added migration logic to create the composite index with proper error handling

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Avoid silently swallowing composite-index creation errors.

A broad except Exception: pass hides real failures (e.g., missing columns or SQL errors), making perf regressions hard to diagnose. At minimum, log the exception so unexpected failures surface.

🛠️ Suggested adjustment
             try:
                 conn.execute(text("CREATE INDEX ix_issues_status_lat_lon ON issues (status, latitude, longitude)"))
                 logger.info("Migrated database: Added composite index on status, latitude, longitude.")
