Context (smart) search latency was caused by the 665MB vchord clip_index
decaying out of PG shared_buffers (~33% resident -> ~1.8s cold ANN reads vs
~4ms warm), NOT by yesterday's ML MODEL_TTL/clip-keepalive change (CLIP textual
is warm ~15ms on GPU). The postStart prewarm runs once at pod start and
pg_prewarm.autoprewarm only re-warms at startup, so the index decays under job
buffer-pressure over days.
- clip-index-prewarm CronJob (immich, */5): pg_prewarm('clip_index') keeps the
whole index resident -> searches stay ~4ms.
- immich-search-probe CronJob (immich, */5): times a random-vector ANN query +
reads clip_index residency, pushes gauges to the Pushgateway.
- Prometheus alerts ImmichSmartSearchSlow / ImmichClipIndexColdCache /
ImmichSearchProbeStale (+ inhibition when the probe is stale).
- cluster_healthcheck.sh check #46 check_immich_search (TOTAL_CHECKS 45->46).
