💡 What:
Added joinedload(Grievance.jurisdiction) to the _get_grievances_for_evaluation SQLAlchemy query in backend/escalation_engine.py.

🎯 Why:
During the periodic evaluation of overdue grievances (evaluate_and_escalate_grievances), the engine loops over all overdue grievances and accesses grievance.jurisdiction.level in _should_escalate. Without eager loading, this resulted in a classic N+1 query problem, firing an additional database query for every single overdue grievance, which is a major bottleneck as the database grows.

📊 Impact:
Reduces the number of database queries in the evaluation loop from N+1 (where N is the number of overdue grievances) to exactly 1. This significantly improves the execution speed of the periodic cron job and reduces database load.

🔬 Measurement:
Enable SQLAlchemy query logging (e.g., echo=True on engine creation) and run evaluate_and_escalate_grievances. Verify that only a single SQL query is executed instead of one large query followed by many smaller ones fetching jurisdictions. Tests continue to pass.

Summary by cubic

Eliminates an N+1 query in the grievance escalation loop by eager-loading jurisdictions via joinedload(Grievance.jurisdiction) in _get_grievances_for_evaluation. This reduces DB queries from N+1 to 1 and speeds up the periodic evaluation job while lowering database load.

Written for commit 90922f2. Summary will update on new commits.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved overdue grievance evaluation by loading jurisdiction details more efficiently.
    • Reduced unnecessary database requests during escalation processing.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance documenting the resolved query performance issue and recommended approach.

Added `joinedload(Grievance.jurisdiction)` to the `_get_grievances_for_evaluation`
query in the `EscalationEngine`. This prevents a separate database query
from being executed for every overdue grievance during periodic evaluations.
