Feed generation blocked the loop (deepcopy of hundreds of Messages + per-message
bleach x4 + str(message) per post). This moves the CPU work off the loop and cuts
it down.
4.1 raw_message is lazy: process_message(include_raw=False) omits str(message)
entirely; only /json and debug-HTML compute it.
4.2 (done BEFORE 4.3) _save_media_file_ids no longer touches asyncio/DB — it
appends to the per-request PostParser._pending_media_ids, and the caller
flushes once via to_thread(upsert_media_file_ids_bulk_sync) (a new executemany
fn in file_io.py). Removed _persist_pending_count + the create_task machinery.
This had to precede 4.3 or get_running_loop() inside the render thread would
raise and silently kill media-id persistence.
4.3 The render pipeline (_create_time_based_media_groups, _create_messages_groups,
_trim_messages_groups, _render_messages_groups) is now plain-sync and runs in
ONE asyncio.to_thread(_render_pipeline) from both feed generators; deepcopy
moved into the thread. The render path is verified free of asyncio primitives.
4.4 Sanitize is now ONE pass per output boundary (removed the 4 internal
per-fragment bleach passes): RSS/HTML feeds sanitize once at the whole-feed
pass; /html and /json sanitize body+footer once in process_message; the debug
<pre> raw dump is html.escape'd. Media embeds in body, reactions in footer, so
both are covered by the boundary pass. XSS tests (<script>/onerror=/javascript:)
confirm all four outputs are clean.
Review round-1: documented that flags are now extracted from the pre-sanitize body
(a 4.4 consequence — non-security, legitimate links unaffected); added
media-caption XSS tests for the exact fragments whose internal passes were removed
(adversarially validated: neutering the sanitizer makes them fail); the media-id
flush is now in a finally so a partial render still persists what it collected.
230 passed (214 baseline + 16).
