Jan Novak f609d8124f feat(py): step 2 — per-phase latency measurement (phases.py)
Hand-drives raw sockets to time each HTTP phase individually — DNS
(getaddrinfo), TCP connect, TLS handshake (ssl.wrap_socket, https only),
TTFB (sendall → first recv), Transfer (first byte → EOF), Total.

Partial phases are preserved on failure (same invariant as Go's probe.go).
Error classification mirrors Go's priority: dns → timeout → tls → connect.
Output format matches Go's single-sample text layout.
Input: bare URL args or plain-text config file (same format as simple.py).

Changelog

All completed features are logged here in reverse-chronological order.


2026-07-01 12:04 — Per-phase latency measurement (Python, Step 2)

  • python/phases.py: self-contained script; hand-drives raw sockets to time each HTTP phase individually — DNS (getaddrinfo), TCP connect, TLS handshake (ssl.wrap_socket, HTTPS only), TTFB (sendall → first recv), Transfer, Total
  • Partial phases preserved on failure (same invariant as Go's probe.go)
  • Error classification mirrors Go's priority: dns → timeout → tls → connect
  • Output format matches Go's single-sample text layout (14-char labels, separator, %8.2f ms alignment)
  • Input: bare URL args or plain-text config file (same format as simple.py)
  • Exits 0 if all URLs complete without network error; 1 if any failed
  • User doc: docs/usage/py-phases.md

2026-07-01 11:30 — Error-path example configs for simple.py (Python, Step 1 refinement)

  • python/configs/ directory with 7 purpose-built config files, one per error class: all-ok.txt, dns-failure.txt, connection-refused.txt, timeout.txt, tls-errors.txt (badssl.com), http-errors.txt (httpstat.us), mixed.txt
  • python/configs/usage.md: runnable shell commands + expected output for every config
  • Fixed docs/usage/py-simple.md: 4xx/5xx responses are reported as FAIL (not OK), because urlopen raises HTTPError for non-2xx; added pointer to the example configs

2026-07-01 10:39 — Simple reachability checker (Python, Step 1)

  • python/simple.py: reads a plain-text site list (one URL per line, # comments), issues a GET to each, prints aligned OK / FAIL + elapsed ms per site
  • Plain-text config format forward-compatible with future key=value annotations
  • Exits 0 if all sites responded, 1 if any failed or config is missing
  • python/sites.txt: committed example config
  • Makefile py-* targets added: py-simple-run, py-phases-run, py-run, py-test, py-check, py-clean; umbrella test, check, clean now include Python
  • User doc: docs/usage/py-simple.md

2026-07-01 01:23 — Concurrency (Go, Step 7)

  • Added -c/--concurrency flag: max URLs probed in parallel (0 = auto)
  • Default auto-concurrency: min(numURLs, 8) — scales with workload, caps at 8
  • Parallelism is across URLs only; the N samples of each URL stay sequential to preserve the accuracy of per-URL min/avg/max statistics
  • Output buffered and printed in original input order (deterministic for both text and JSON), exit-code accumulation unchanged
  • Implementation: semaphore channel + sync.WaitGroup, each goroutine writes only its own indexed result slot — verified clean with go test -race
  • Added make go-test-race target to the Makefile
  • 3 new tests: TestRunConcurrentOrder, TestConcurrentWorstCode, TestConcurrentJSONOrder
  • Updated runtime estimates in docs/custom-usage-examples.md
  • User doc: docs/usage/step-7-concurrency.md

2026-07-01 01:05 — Root Makefile

  • Namespaced targets: go-build, go-run, go-test, go-test-verbose, go-check, go-cover, go-fmt, go-vet, go-tidy, go-install, go-lint, go-clean
  • Umbrella targets (build, test, check, fmt, vet, clean, all) delegate to Go now; py-* will slot in during the Python port
  • help is the default target; auto-generated from ## comments
  • go-run accepts ARGS= for passing flags, go-lint guards for golangci-lint
  • .gitignore updated with coverage artifacts

2026-07-01 00:49 — Integration tests (Go, Step 6)

  • Extracted run(args, stdout, stderr) int from main() to make the CLI testable in-process
  • Fixed TLS classification bug: TLSHandshakeDone fires with the error on cert rejection, so tlsErr is now captured and checked before the stale tlsStart.IsZero() guard
  • run_test.go: 14 in-process tests covering exit codes 06, multi-URL, sampling, and JSON structure assertions
  • cli_test.go: TestMain builds the real binary; 3 subprocess smoke tests exercise the actual os.Exit path
  • All test servers use httptest + stdlib; .invalid TLD for deterministic DNS failures; no external network dependency

2026-07-01 00:38 — Failure handling (Go, Step 5)

  • Classified network failures into dns / connect / timeout / tls with distinct exit codes (25)
  • Partial timing preserved up to the failure point (e.g. DNS phase shown on NXDOMAIN)
  • --timeout flag (default 10s) applied via context.WithTimeout
  • --fail flag: HTTP status ≥ 400 → exit code 6 (curl-style)
  • -n sampling continues on network failure; aggregates successes, reports fail count + cause
  • JSON output extended with succeeded, failed, errors[] fields
  • Highest exit code across all URLs/failure types is used as the process exit

2026-07-01 00:08 — JSON output flag (Go, Step 4)

  • --json flag emits a JSON array with one entry per URL
  • Schema always uses min/avg/max shape (consistent regardless of -n)
  • Phases absent from the request (e.g. TLS on HTTP) are omitted from the JSON object
  • Failed URLs are excluded from JSON output and reported to stderr
  • Text output unchanged and remains the default

2026-07-01 00:08 — Multiple URLs + sampling (Go, Step 3)

  • -n/--count flag repeats each URL N times and reports min/avg/max per phase
  • probe.Summarize aggregates a slice of Results into per-phase PhaseStats
  • Multi-sample output shows an aligned min/avg/max table with a header row
  • Single-sample output (n=1) is unchanged from Step 2

2026-07-01 00:08 — Per-phase breakdown (Go, Step 2)

  • Instrumented requests with net/http/httptrace.ClientTrace
  • DNS lookup, TCP connect, TLS handshake, Server/TTFB, Transfer, Total phases
  • TLS row omitted automatically for plain http:// URLs
  • Aligned text output with separator before Total

2026-07-01 00:08 — Simple total latency (Go, Step 1)

  • probe.Measure performs an HTTP GET and records wall-clock total time
  • main.go prints URL, HTTP status code, and total duration for each URL
  • Exits with code 1 if any URL fails
  • Multiple URLs accepted as positional arguments

2026-07-01 00:08 — Project scaffold (Go, Step 0)

  • Created project structure: go/, python/, docs/plans/, docs/usage/
  • Initialised Go module latprobe (go/go.mod)
  • Minimal go/main.go that prints usage and exits cleanly when no URL is given
  • Stub go/internal/probe/probe.go defining the Result type and Measure signature
  • Foundation files: README.md, CLAUDE.md, CHANGELOG.md
  • Saved initial plan to docs/plans/2026-07-01-00-08-go-latency-tool.md
