Walkthrough

The changes update the daemon startup logic to prevent garbage collection (GC) tasks from running when the node is in stateless mode. Both the GC event loop and the periodic GC scheduler loop are now conditionally spawned only if the node is not stateless, with the scheduler loop also requiring GC to be enabled.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
CHANGELOG.md Added entry documenting fix for unnecessary GC runs on stateless nodes, referencing PR #5863.
src/daemon/mod.rs Updated logic to prevent spawning GC event and scheduler loops when node is stateless.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Explain this complex logic.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai explain this code block.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and explain its main purpose.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

38-39: Consider tightening wording for parallel-structure & readability

The plural “nodes” is already used elsewhere and reads more naturally. Suggest:

- [#5863](https://github.com/ChainSafe/forest/pull/5863) Fixed needless GC runs on a stateless node.
+ [#5863](https://github.com/ChainSafe/forest/pull/5863) Fixed needless GC runs on stateless nodes.

Purely a stylistic nit—feel free to ignore if you prefer the current phrasing.

512-518: LGTM! Proper prevention of on-demand GC for stateless nodes.

The conditional check correctly prevents the GC event loop from being spawned when the node is stateless. This addresses the PR objective of preventing on-demand GC operations on stateless nodes, which is appropriate since stateless nodes don't maintain persistent state that would benefit from garbage collection.


519-521: LGTM! Consistent logic for preventing periodic GC on stateless nodes.

The additional !opts.stateless condition properly extends the existing GC scheduler logic. The combined condition !opts.no_gc && !opts.stateless ensures that periodic GC is disabled when either explicitly disabled by the user or when running in stateless mode, which maintains consistency with the event loop logic above.
