Capture cacheType next to its validation (AbstractResourceConsumer) The finally-block cleanup is guarded on correlationId != null && cacheType != null, but correlationId was assigned ~20 lines before cacheType, with the metrics increment and a debug log in between. Anything throwing in that window left cacheType null, so cleanup silently skipped and a valid cache entry was stranded with nothing coming back for it. cacheType is now taken immediately after its own null check. Covered by process_metricsThrowsAfterValidation_stillCleansUpCache, which makes IncrementRecordsReceivedCounter throw and asserts cleanup still runs. Watched it fail first: "Wanted but not invoked: cleanup(cache-key-metrics- fail)". Assert the configured-ABS cleanup branch process_absCacheType_doesNotCleanupRedis drives a successful ABS run to not-reportable, so the finally block does execute case ABS - but the test only asserted Redis cleanup did NOT run. Deleting absResourceService .cleanup(correlationId) from the switch left it green. Added the positive assertion and confirmed it has teeth by removing that call and watching the test fail, then restoring. Sanitize logging arguments AbstractResourceConsumer's two new cleanup log statements passed correlationId (from value.getCacheKey(), externally sourced) straight to the logger; a control character there could forge log entries. Both now go through LogUtils.sanitize. cacheType is a enum and cannot carry control characters - sanitized anyway so both arguments are treated uniformly and a static scanner has nothing to flag. The trailing throwable is deliberately left raw so the stack trace survives. Same for consumeResult.Topic in ResourcesAcquiredRetryDeadLetterHandler, which also needed the Shared.Application.Services.Security using - the file had no prior SanitizeForLog call. Only the log statements this PR introduces are changed. The six pre-existing correlationId log calls in AbstractResourceConsumer are equally unsanitized but belong to dev, so widening to them is a separate sweep. Correct the DI precedence comment (Program.cs) The comment said the closed IDeadLetterExceptionHandler<RetryListener, string, string> registration wins because it is registered after the open generic. Ordering is not what decides it - MS DI resolves a closed-type registration ahead of an open generic either way. The behaviour was right, the stated reason was not, and someone reordering these registrations later would have believed position mattered. Tests: measureeval 90, shared 7, 0 failures. Normalization builds with 0 errors (164 pre-existing warnings unchanged). Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01AZubeEYCKfAmDCcgVTr18G
… timeouts Co-authored-by: arianamihailescu <82962995+arianamihailescu@users.noreply.github.com>
The retry-exhausted purge deleted the {correlationId} key alongside the
{correlationId}:{Type} acquisition keys, on the premise that "nothing
downstream will ever consume it." That premise does not hold on this path.
ProcessMessageAsync produces ResourcesNormalized BEFORE deleting the
acquisition keys, so a failure at or after the produce - a client-side
produce timeout the broker actually accepted, or the trailing DeleteAsync
throwing - is classed transient and retried while the message is already
out. Measure Eval consumes it, finds the patient reportable, and
deliberately keeps {correlationId} for its SUPPLEMENTAL pass. When the
retries exhaust minutes later, purging that key makes the supplemental
read return empty, and Measure Eval "evaluat[es] with empty bundle to
produce a not-reportable report" - a silent false answer, not an error.
The handler cannot know whether an earlier attempt published; that
knowledge died with the attempt, and no transaction spans Kafka and the
cache. So the purge is now scoped by what each caller CAN prove:
ResourceCachePurgeScope.All
Immediate dead-letter path only. DeadLetterException is raised
exclusively by ValidateResourcesAcquiredEvent, before the processing
loop, so ResourcesNormalized was provably never produced and the
correlation key is safe to remove. A comment at the call site pins
that invariant: a DeadLetterException thrown after the produce would
invalidate it.
ResourceCachePurgeScope.AcquisitionKeysOnly
Retry exhaustion. Only the keys the message itself carries are
deleted; the derived correlation key is left to the cache expiration
policy. Cost: one leaked correlation hash per exhausted retry chain.
The alternative was a silently wrong clinical report.
The scope parameter has no default, so every future call site is forced
to answer "can the publish already have happened?" explicitly.
Tests: new purger test asserting AcquisitionKeysOnly leaves the
correlation key (watched failing with the scope deliberately ignored,
proving it detects the old behavior); both call sites' scope choices
pinned in their existing tests. Normalization unit tests 40/40.

…' into user/steven.williams/LEGLINK-958
Replace the ResourceCachePurgeScope enum with a single ownership rule:
Normalization deletes only its own input, the {correlationId}:{ResourceType}
acquisition keys. The {correlationId} key belongs to its reader - Measure
Eval deletes it after evaluation (keepCacheForSupplemental aside), and the
cache expiration policy reclaims keys whose message never got published.
Scope.All on the immediate dead-letter path was unsafe for SUPPLEMENTAL
messages: DataAcquisition reuses the correlationId across phases, so after
a reportable INITIAL pass the key holds kept, unrebuildable INITIAL data.
A malformed SUPPLEMENTAL message would have destroyed it and turned the
eventual evaluation into a silent false not-reportable. Its safety also
rested on a comment-enforced invariant (DeadLetterException is only thrown
before the produce) that no compiler or test could defend.
Removing the option instead of gating it deletes the enum, the scope
parameter, the correlation-id derivation, and the invariant comments.
The retry-exhausted path behaves exactly as before; the dead-letter path
now leaves {correlationId} to its owner.

🛠️ Description of Changes
Part A — Measure Eval (
AbstractResourceConsumer.java)correlationId,cacheType, and a newkeepCacheForSupplementalflag are hoisted above thetry; the cleanup block moved into the existingfinally, guarded so thatINITIAL+ reportable still keeps the cache for the supplemental pass. Cleanup is wrapped in its own try/catch so it can never mask the exception that triggered it.Part B — Normalization
ResourceCachePurger(Application/Services/) deletes the acquisition keys plus the derived correlation key viaGetImplementation(value.CacheType), and swallows its own failures so call sites stay clean.DeadLetterExceptioncatch now purges after the dead letter is handled.ResourcesAcquiredRetryDeadLetterHandler(Application/Error/) overridesProduceDeadLetterand purges on retry exhaustion, registered inProgram.csafter the open generic.Out of scope
AbstractResourceConsumerteardown (superclass no longer necessary since we're not consumingResourcesAcquired-Error).RedisResourceService.cleanup.ResourcesAcquiredis produced, andHandleConsumeExceptiondead letters — both left to the cache TTL ticket.🧪 Testing Performed
MANUALLY VERIFIED (live, local docker stack, branch build ad9a7b9)
All three failure behaviors were exercised end to end against running
Normalization + Measure Eval containers rebuilt from this branch, with
seeded Redis entries and real Kafka messages, verifying actual Redis key
state and -Error topic offsets — not just unit-level mocks.
A. Normalization immediate dead-letter (Scope: All)
Sent a ResourcesAcquired message whose key was missing PatientId, with
a seeded acquisition key ({corr}:Patient) and correlation key ({corr}).
Result: validation raised DeadLetterException, the dead letter was
produced to ResourcesAcquired-Error, and the purge removed BOTH keys —
log: "Purged 2 resource cache entries after terminal failure ...
Keys: [{corr}:Patient, {corr}]". Both keys verified gone in Redis.
B. Normalization retry exhaustion (Scope: AcquisitionKeysOnly)
Sent a valid message whose cache key had an unparseable resource type
({corr}:Bogus), producing a TransientException on every attempt. The
retry ladder ran its configured PT20S/PT60S/PT120S schedule, exhausted,
and dead-lettered. The purge removed ONLY the acquisition key —
log: "Purged 1 ... Keys: [{corr}:Bogus]" — and the correlation key was
verified still present in Redis afterward. This is the scoped-purge
behavior added in review: exhaustion cannot rule out that an earlier
attempt already published ResourcesNormalized, so the key Measure Eval
may be holding survives.
C. Measure Eval cleanup on failure (finally block)
Seeded the correlation hash with a syntactically invalid FHIR resource
so processing fails after the cache read (bundle creation), and sent a
ResourcesNormalized message. Result: the record dead-lettered to
ResourcesNormalized-Error as before, and the finally block removed the
correlation key despite the failure — log: "Cleaned up Redis key
'{corr}'" / "Cache cleanup complete for correlationId={corr},
cacheType=REDIS". Key verified gone in Redis.
