About the Contributor

This pull request is posted on behalf of the BBC

Type of Contribution

This is a: Bug fix / Feature

Current Behavior

We have identified a few cases where an ingest update can trigger a series of unnecessary react renders. The impact is likely not all that large, but it is unnecessary work and easy to stop

New Behavior

  1. The full DBRundownPlaylist was being passed as a prop to each SourceLayerItem. These components made no use of it, and the playlist and so do not need its reactivity. This prop has been dropped where possible.

  2. The DBRundownPlaylist being passed around the ui had unused and noisey properties such as the modiifed timestamp changed following each ingest operation. A ui now queries a smaller shape to avoid this noise and passes a more minimal type around.

  3. After the blueprint getSegment was called for a segment, Sofie was not diffing the segment to see if it actually changed before writing it to mongodb. Sofie is now doing a deep diff of the segments, allowing ops which fire often and make no changes to terminate quicker inside the ingest thread, and avoid attempting to touch playout or push any publication updates to the ui.

  4. Added a partChanged property to the BlueprintSyncIngestNewData, to allow blueprints to easily identify if the Part that the syncIngestChanges is running for has any ingest changes to sync.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

@Julusian, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 56 minutes

Limit details: You’ve used all 2 included reviews currently available under your plan.

You've used all free OSS reviews for now. Wait for the free limit to reset to keep reviewing this public repository.

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

Walkthrough

The ingest pipeline now detects actual model changes, suppresses redundant writes, and propagates Part changes to blueprint synchronization. The rundown view now queries projected playlist data and uses narrowed playlist types across its component tree.

Changes

Ingest change tracking

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ingest model change detection
packages/job-worker/src/ingest/model/*, packages/job-worker/src/notifications/NotificationsModelHelper.ts
Ingest models now expose change detection. Comparisons normalize undefined values and ignore unchanged data.
Commit and Part-instance synchronization
packages/job-worker/src/ingest/commit.ts, packages/job-worker/src/ingest/runOperation.ts, packages/job-worker/src/ingest/syncChangesToPartInstance.ts, packages/blueprints-integration/src/api/showStyle.ts
The commit flow captures changed Part IDs before saving. Synchronization forwards partChanged to blueprint ingest-sync data. No-op ingest commits are discarded.
Ingest regression coverage
packages/job-worker/src/ingest/__tests__/*
Tests verify no-op re-ingests, playlist write suppression, persisted segment changes, and changed-Part synchronization.

Rundown playlist projection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Projected playlist queries
packages/webui/src/client/lib/rundownPlaylistProjection.ts, packages/webui/src/client/ui/RundownView.tsx, packages/webui/src/client/ui/RundownView/RundownNotifier.tsx
Rundown playlist queries now omit selected fields and use narrowed playlist types.
Narrowed playlist component contracts
packages/webui/src/client/ui/SegmentContainer/*, packages/webui/src/client/ui/SegmentList/*, packages/webui/src/client/ui/SegmentStoryboard/*, packages/webui/src/client/ui/SegmentTimeline/*
UI components now use RundownViewPlaylist. Unused playlist and studio props are removed from timeline components.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to abbca

Notification updates can still be marked as changed when they do not alter persisted data, causing unnecessary ingest and UI work; this bounded correctness and performance issue should be fixed before merging.

Add a true-path test for partChanged.

The updated tests only use an empty changed-Part set and newPartChanged: false. Add a test with the synchronized Part ID in changedPartIds. Assert that the candidate has newPartChanged: true and that the blueprint receives partChanged: true.
