Summary

Phase 3 of the 0-LCD hybrid route-solver program (#279 parent). Two of the original #279 performance items that did not land in the schema (1a) or solver-rewire (1c) increments:

Concurrent candidate evaluation. solve_global_best_execution walks the (up to) 5 path candidates in a serial for loop, await-ing each candidate's optimize + simulate before starting the next. End-to-end latency is therefore the sum of all candidates. Run the per-candidate optimize + maybe_simulate work concurrently under a sane concurrency cap so request latency tracks the slowest candidate, not the sum.
Cache-key robustness. hybrid_cache_key keys on the raw max_maker_fills value and the raw normalized trader address. Honest variation in either (a caller passing max_maker_fills=7 vs 8, or two distinct wallets on the same tier) produces a cache miss and forces a full re-solve, so the cache barely helps real traffic and is trivially bypassed. Drop/clamp max_maker_fills and bucket the trader dimension so honest variation still hits the cache — without weakening the #283 discount-tier isolation.

Per Plastik this lands after Phase 1c (#319): concurrency should be over DB-backed sims (cheap, CPU/Postgres-bound), not the current per-grid LCD fanout. Parallelizing LCD calls just multiplies the amplification surface #279 is trying to shrink.

Out of scope (explicitly): the #283 discount-tier cache keying — that already shipped in MR !751 and must be preserved exactly. Phase 2 (4-hop bump) and the DB-sim rewire itself (#319) are separate.

Current codebase

Serial candidate loop

indexer/src/api/best_execution.rs — solve_global_best_execution (line ~115). After enumerate_path_candidates returns up to MAX_PATH_CANDIDATES paths, the body is a for cand in &candidates { … } loop (line ~130). Each iteration awaits hybrid_route_opt::optimize_multihop_hybrid_joint (line ~142) then maybe_simulate (line ~159) and folds the winner with the running best (line ~189). Nothing in the loop body depends on a previous iteration except best (a max-by-output reduction) and lcd_queries (a saturating sum) — both are trivially mergeable after a concurrent fan-out.
MAX_PATH_CANDIDATES: usize = 5 (line 18); LCD_HYBRID_SIM_BUDGET (line ~26) is the documented worst-case sim count MAX_PATH_CANDIDATES * GET_DEFAULT_MAX_HOPS * (17 + 2*2*17). BestExecutionMeta (line ~39) carries paths_considered, lcd_hybrid_queries, degraded, any_book_leg — all surfaced on the response.
The CPU-bound path enumeration was already moved off the async executor via tokio::task::spawn_blocking in enumerate_path_candidates (line ~94, #286); the per-candidate work after it is still serial.

Cache key

indexer/src/api/route_solver.rs — hybrid_cache_key (line ~532) builds "{SOLVER_VERSION}|{token_in}|{token_out}|{amount_bucket}|{max_maker_fills}|{trader_key}|t{discount_tier}". trader_key is the raw lowercased trader address or "none" (line ~540); max_maker_fills goes in verbatim.
The per-hop grid is already a fixed compile-time const (GRID_POINTS = 17, hybrid_route_opt.rs:48), not caller-controllable — so #279 item-3's "grid size bounded" clause is already satisfied in code; this issue only adds the candidate-count cap + truncation flag.
discount_tier is resolved via resolve_discount_tier (line ~517) from traders.tier_id and is already part of the key per #283 — keep it. The unit test hybrid_cache_key_distinguishes_discount_tier (line ~857) pins both tier isolation and same-tier sharing; must stay green.
amount_cache_key (line ~502) already buckets amount_in by AMOUNT_CACHE_BUCKET = 1_000_000 (line 35) before keying, so the amount dimension is mostly handled — re-check the bucket is coarse enough that normal-range amount variation reuses entries.
Callers default max_maker_fills to 8 when omitted (solve_route_best line ~660, solve_route line ~698) and clamp to >= 1 via max_makers = max_maker_fills.max(1) in execute_hybrid_route_solve (line ~601). The cache key sees the post-clamp value.
Cache plumbing: route_hybrid_cache (line ~497), cache_get / cache_put with ROUTE_CACHE_TTL = 12s and ROUTE_CACHE_MAX_ENTRIES = 512.

Concurrency precedents / tooling

No buffered-concurrency helper exists in the indexer today, and futures / futures-util is not a direct dependency (indexer/Cargo.toml). tokio is on features = ["full"], so tokio::task::JoinSet is available without a new crate; futures::stream::iter(...).buffer_unordered(n) would require adding futures.
Background loops (oracle::run_oracle_loop, trader_tracker::run_tier_sync_loop, both spawned in indexer/src/indexer/poller.rs) are the snapshot/loop precedents for Phase 1b, not for in-request fan-out — they're sequential sleep-driven loops, so they're not a concurrency template here. The fan-out pattern is new to this issue.

Why this is needed

Latency. With 5 candidates the solver pays 5× the per-candidate cost in wall-clock even though the candidates are independent. Once 1c makes each candidate a cheap DB sim, a bounded concurrent fan-out collapses that to ~1× the slowest candidate, which is the whole point of doing the work in-process instead of over LCD.
Cache effectiveness / abuse. Keying on raw max_maker_fills and raw trader address means the cache fragments under perfectly honest traffic and is bypassed by trivially varying either field — the same amplification concern #279 raises, one layer up from LCD. Clamping max_maker_fills to a few discrete values and bucketing the trader dimension restores real hit rates while #283's tier key still prevents cross-tier quote leakage.
No silent degrade. If a concurrency cap ever truncates the candidate set (e.g. a future change raises MAX_PATH_CANDIDATES above the cap), the response must say so. Today nothing would flag a partially-searched result, and #279's whole theme is honest labeling over optimistic quotes.

Constraints and guardrails

Order: land after #319 (Phase 1c). Concurrency is over DB sims, not LCD fanout — do not parallelize per-grid hybrid_simulation LCD calls. If 1c is not merged when this is picked up, hold.
Do not touch #283 tier keying. discount_tier stays in hybrid_cache_key exactly as shipped in MR !751; hybrid_cache_key_distinguishes_discount_tier and hybrid_cache_key_includes_trader_or_none must still pass (the latter may need updating if trader bucketing changes its semantics — update it deliberately, don't delete the tier assertions).
Bounded concurrency. Use an explicit cap (e.g. a const SOLVE_CONCURRENCY or reuse MAX_PATH_CANDIDATES), not unbounded join_all over an arbitrary candidate count. Prefer tokio::task::JoinSet (already available) over adding the futures crate unless buffer_unordered is clearly cleaner — call the choice out in the MR.
Deterministic winner. The concurrent merge must pick the same winner as the serial loop for any fixed input: max by router estimated_amount_out, with a stable tie-break (the serial loop keeps the first-seen max via out_u > *prev_out). Preserve that ordering so results don't flap between requests.
Metadata still correct. paths_considered, lcd_hybrid_queries / db_hybrid_queries, degraded, any_book_leg must aggregate correctly across the concurrent set (sum the query counts, OR the degraded flags) — same values the serial path would produce.
Per-candidate error handling. The serial loop bubbles the first optimize/simulate error out of the whole request (? on lcd_gateway_err / maybe_simulate). Decide and document: fail-fast on first candidate error (preserve current behavior) vs. drop the failed candidate and continue. Don't silently swallow a sim failure into a degraded best.
max_maker_fills clamping. Clamp to a small discrete set (the on-chain meaningful range / a handful of buckets) rather than dropping it entirely if distinct fill caps can produce materially different quotes — verify against the pair query_hybrid_simulation semantics before deciding drop vs. clamp. Keep the existing >= 1 floor.
Trader bucketing. Bucket the trader dimension so two honest same-tier wallets share an entry. The cleanest path given #283 is to drop the raw trader address from the key and rely on discount_tier (since the only quote-affecting property of trader/sender is the resolved tier) — confirm no other trader-dependent branch exists in the solve before removing it.
Cap truncation surfaced. If a cap truncates the candidate search, set a flag on BestExecutionMeta and reflect it in hybrid_notes / a response field — never return a truncated search as if it were complete.

Recommended direction

Refactor the loop body in solve_global_best_execution into an async fn evaluate_candidate(state, cand, …) -> Result<(RouteSolveResponse, u128, BestExecutionMeta), (StatusCode, String)> that does the optimize + apply_hybrid_by_hop + maybe_simulate for one candidate and returns its scored result + per-candidate meta.
Fan out over candidates with a bounded JoinSet (or buffer_unordered(cap) if futures is added), cap = MAX_PATH_CANDIDATES (or a dedicated SOLVE_CONCURRENCY). Collect results, then reduce: pick max out_u with the existing first-seen tie-break, sum query counts, OR the degraded flags.
Cache key: in hybrid_cache_key, replace the raw max_maker_fills segment with a clamped/bucketed value (clamp_maker_fills(max_maker_fills)), and drop trader_key in favor of the already-present discount_tier (or bucket it). Keep SOLVER_VERSION, amount_bucket, and discount_tier. Phase 3 inherits the SOLVER_VERSION bump #319 ships; bump again only if this issue changes the key shape post-1c (dropping trader_key / clamping max_maker_fills), so stale pre-Phase-3 cache entries don't serve under the new keying.
Truncation flag: add search_truncated: bool (or similar) to BestExecutionMeta, set it when the candidate count exceeds the concurrency cap and not all were evaluated, and thread it into hybrid_notes_for_global / the response.
Keep maybe_simulate exactly once per candidate as today; this issue does not change the fidelity guard (#319's job).

Acceptance criteria

solve_global_best_execution evaluates path candidates concurrently under a bounded cap; for N independent candidates of comparable cost, measured request latency is ~max(candidate) not ~sum(candidate) (assert via a timed test with an artificially delayed per-candidate sim mock).
The concurrent solver returns the same winning path / splits / estimated_amount_out as the serial implementation for a fixed seeded input (golden/differential test), including the first-seen tie-break on equal outputs.
paths_considered, query-count, degraded, and any_book_leg metadata aggregate to the same values the serial path produced.
hybrid_cache_key: requests differing only in max_maker_fills within the normal range map to the same cache key (clamped/bucketed); a unit test asserts e.g. 7 and 8 share a key while an out-of-range/distinct bucket does not.
hybrid_cache_key: two distinct same-tier trader addresses map to the same key; the #283 cross-tier isolation test (hybrid_cache_key_distinguishes_discount_tier) still passes unchanged.
When a concurrency/candidate cap truncates the search, the response carries an explicit truncation flag (meta field + hybrid_notes); no truncated result is returned as complete.
Per-candidate error policy (fail-fast vs. drop-and-continue) is implemented as documented and covered by a test where one candidate's sim errors.
No new direct futures dependency unless justified in the MR; if JoinSet is used, no extra crate added.
cargo test route-solve + cache-key tests green; make lint / indexer lib tests green.

Test plan

#	Scenario	Setup	Expected
1	Concurrency latency	Mock per-candidate sim with a fixed delay d; 5 candidates	Total solve ≈ d (+ overhead), not ≈ 5d
2	Winner parity vs serial	Seed deterministic candidates; compare against serial reference	Identical winning path, splits, `estimated_amount_out`
3	Tie-break stability	Two candidates with equal output	First-seen candidate wins, stable across runs
4	Meta aggregation	Candidates with mixed degraded/book-leg states	`degraded` OR'd, query counts summed, `paths_considered` correct
5	`max_maker_fills` cache hit	Request `mmf=7` then `mmf=8`	Second is a cache hit (same key)
6	`max_maker_fills` distinct bucket	Request at two clearly different fill buckets (if buckets kept)	Distinct keys, no false share
7	Same-tier trader cache hit	Two distinct addresses, both tier 0 (or same tier)	Same cache key, second served from cache
8	Cross-tier isolation (#283)	Same addresses, tiers 0 vs 5	Distinct keys, no cross-tier quote leak (existing test)
9	Cap truncation	Force candidate count > concurrency cap	Truncation flag set; `hybrid_notes` warns; result not labeled complete
10	Candidate sim error	One candidate's `maybe_simulate` returns 500	Per documented policy (fail-fast 400/502 or dropped); never silently degraded best
11	Amount bucketing regression	Micro-vary `amount_in` within one bucket	Same key (existing `AMOUNT_CACHE_BUCKET` behavior preserved)

#279 — parent: 0-LCD hybrid solver program (this is Phase 3: original performance items 1 + 3)
#319 — Phase 1c (db_orderbook_sim + solver rewire); hard dependency — concurrency runs over DB sims, not LCD
#283 / MR !751 — discount-tier cache keying, already shipped, must be preserved (not redone here)
#306 — HTTP cache tier-isolation test (separate)
#286 — route DFS path-candidate budget (re-check any future 4-hop / candidate-count bump against the concurrency cap here)

## Summary Phase **3** of the 0-LCD hybrid route-solver program ([#279](https://gitlab.com/PlasticDigits/cl8y-dex-terraclassic/-/issues/279) parent). Two of the original #279 performance items that did not land in the schema (1a) or solver-rewire (1c) increments: 1. **Concurrent candidate evaluation.** `solve_global_best_execution` walks the (up to) 5 path candidates in a **serial** `for` loop, `await`-ing each candidate's optimize + simulate before starting the next. End-to-end latency is therefore the **sum** of all candidates. Run the per-candidate `optimize + maybe_simulate` work **concurrently** under a sane concurrency cap so request latency tracks the **slowest** candidate, not the sum. 2. **Cache-key robustness.** `hybrid_cache_key` keys on the **raw** `max_maker_fills` value and the **raw normalized trader address**. Honest variation in either (a caller passing `max_maker_fills=7` vs `8`, or two distinct wallets on the same tier) produces a cache miss and forces a full re-solve, so the cache barely helps real traffic and is trivially bypassed. Drop/clamp `max_maker_fills` and bucket the trader dimension so honest variation still hits the cache — **without** weakening the #283 discount-tier isolation. Per Plastik this lands **after Phase 1c** ([#319](https://gitlab.com/PlasticDigits/cl8y-dex-terraclassic/-/issues/319)): concurrency should be over **DB-backed** sims (cheap, CPU/Postgres-bound), not the current per-grid LCD fanout.

#324 verified — checked on current main (merged commit 864e072). Indexer-layer: source + unit + Postgres-backed route/cache integration tests, including the ones the agent marked skipped. Suites green, gate script verify-issue-324.sh is 3/3. I also did the serial-vs-concurrent parity check by hand — the serial loop was removed in this MR, so I pulled it out of git (864e072^) and compared against the new merge; they produce identical results.

Acceptance criteria:

Concurrent under a bounded cap: run_concurrent_candidate_evaluations fans out with a tokio JoinSet capped at SOLVE_CONCURRENCY (= MAX_PATH_CANDIDATES = 5), refilling as tasks finish. concurrent_fanout_latency_tracks_max_not_sum times 5x80ms tasks through that pattern and asserts elapsed < 400ms (serial floor) and >= 80ms. Honest caveat: that timing test exercises the JoinSet pattern with sleep tasks, not a delayed sim mock wired through solve_global_best_execution — so ~max-not-~sum is proven for the fan-out primitive the production path uses, not by a wired timed solve.
Same winner/splits/estimated_amount_out as serial (incl first-seen tie-break): confirmed by direct comparison — the removed serial loop kept the first-seen max via out_u > prev_out and surfaced the winner's snapshotted meta; merge_candidate_evaluations does the same. merge_picks_max_output_with_first_seen_tie_break + merge_equal_output_keeps_first_seen_candidate pin it.
Metadata same as serial: also confirmed against the old loop — serial's final meta was the winner's snapshot (degraded/any_book_leg = winner's; lcd/db queries = running total at the winner's iteration = cumulative-through-winner; paths_considered = candidate count). The merge reproduces exactly that (best_execution.rs:296-309); merge_winner_at_end_uses_cumulative_queries + merge_picks_max_output assert it.
max_maker_fills clamp (7 & 8 share; distinct buckets don't): cache_key_maker_fills maps <=8->8, <=16->16, else 30; hybrid_cache_key_same_tier_traders_share_key asserts key(mmf=7)==key(mmf=8); hybrid_cache_key_maker_fills_distinct_buckets keeps 8/16/30 distinct.
same-tier share + #283 cross-tier isolation: trader address dropped from the key (hybrid_cache_key_same_tier_traders_share_key); hybrid_cache_key_distinguishes_discount_bps + integration route_solve_get_cache_tier_isolation / _same_tier_reuses_lcd keep cross-tier isolation. Heads-up: the #283 unit test was renamed hybrid_cache_key_distinguishes_discount_tier -> ..._discount_bps (now keys on the resolved discount bps, the actual quote-affecting value) and hybrid_cache_key_includes_trader_or_none was dropped since trader is no longer keyed. Tier isolation itself survives — flagging the rename so it's a deliberate change, not a silent one.
truncation flag on meta + hybrid_notes: merge_sets_search_truncated_flag (sets search_truncated + paths_considered) + hybrid_notes_warn_when_search_truncated (notes contain "truncated").
per-candidate error policy + sim error test: fail-fast (matches the serial loop bubbling the first error); concurrent_eval_fail_fast_aborts_remaining_tasks asserts the first error propagates and remaining tasks abort.
no new futures crate: JoinSet is tokio::task::JoinSet; Cargo.toml has no futures* dep.
cargo route/cache + lint green: api_route_solve 23/23, db_hybrid 3/3, lib 131/0, verify-issue-324 3/3; make lint clean.

Net: 8 of 9 fully covered + serial parity confirmed by hand; the one soft spot is the concurrency timing — proven on the fan-out primitive, not a wired delayed-sim timed solve. Your call whether that's enough to close or you'd want a wired timed test on solve_global_best_execution first. #319 dep is merged so the gate's satisfied. @PlasticDigits

We dont need a wired timed test. Agent can verify without that

Acceptance criteria

#	Criterion	Result	Evidence
1	Concurrent candidate eval under bounded cap; latency ~max not ~sum	PASS	`run_concurrent_candidate_evaluations` uses `tokio::task::JoinSet` capped at `SOLVE_CONCURRENCY` (= `MAX_PATH_CANDIDATES` = 5). `concurrent_fanout_latency_tracks_max_not_sum` asserts elapsed < 400ms for 5×80ms tasks (serial floor) and ≥ 80ms. Per maintainer note: fan-out primitive timing is sufficient; wired delayed-sim solve test not required.
2	Same winner/splits/`estimated_amount_out` as serial (incl. first-seen tie-break)	PASS	`merge_candidate_evaluations` mirrors removed serial loop (`out_u > prev_out` tie-break). `merge_picks_max_output_with_first_seen_tie_break`, `merge_equal_output_keeps_first_seen_candidate`.
3	Metadata aggregates match serial (`paths_considered`, query counts, `degraded`, `any_book_leg`)	PASS	`merge_winner_at_end_uses_cumulative_queries`, `merge_picks_max_output_with_first_seen_tie_break`; merge logic at `best_execution.rs:296-309`.
4	`max_maker_fills` clamped/bucketed (7 & 8 share key; distinct buckets differ)	PASS	`cache_key_maker_fills`: ≤8→8, ≤16→16, else 30. `hybrid_cache_key_same_tier_traders_share_key`, `hybrid_cache_key_maker_fills_distinct_buckets`.
5	Same-tier traders share key; #283 cross-tier isolation preserved	PASS	Trader address dropped from key; tier isolation via `discount_bps` segment (`d{bps}`). `hybrid_cache_key_distinguishes_discount_bps`. Integration: `route_solve_get_cache_tier_isolation`, `route_solve_get_cache_same_tier_reuses_lcd`.
6	Truncation flag on meta + `hybrid_notes` when cap truncates search	PASS	`search_truncated` on `BestExecutionMeta` + `RouteSolveResponse`. `merge_sets_search_truncated_flag`, `hybrid_notes_warn_when_search_truncated`.
7	Per-candidate error policy documented + tested	PASS	Fail-fast (matches serial `?` behavior). `concurrent_eval_fail_fast_aborts_remaining_tasks`.
8	No new direct `futures` dependency	PASS	`indexer/Cargo.toml` has no `futures*` direct dep; uses `tokio::task::JoinSet`.
9	Route-solve + cache-key tests + lint green	PASS	See commands above.

Dependency #319 (Phase 1c)

PASS — route_solver_db_hybrid config + SOLVER_VERSION_DB (global_v4) present; DB hybrid integration tests (api_route_solve_db_hybrid) green. Concurrency runs over DB-backed sims, not per-grid LCD fanout.

Test plan mapping (11 scenarios)

#	Scenario	Result
1	Concurrency latency	PASS (`concurrent_fanout_latency_tracks_max_not_sum`)
2	Winner parity vs serial	PASS (merge unit tests)
3	Tie-break stability	PASS (`merge_equal_output_keeps_first_seen_candidate`)
4	Meta aggregation	PASS (`merge_winner_at_end_uses_cumulative_queries`, etc.)
5	`max_maker_fills` cache hit (7 vs 8)	PASS (`hybrid_cache_key_same_tier_traders_share_key`)
6	Distinct fill buckets	PASS (`hybrid_cache_key_maker_fills_distinct_buckets`)
7	Same-tier trader cache hit	PASS (trader dropped; tier via `discount_bps`)
8	Cross-tier isolation (#283)	PASS (`hybrid_cache_key_distinguishes_discount_bps` + HTTP integration)
9	Cap truncation	PASS (`merge_sets_search_truncated_flag`, `hybrid_notes_warn_when_search_truncated`)
10	Candidate sim error	PASS (`concurrent_eval_fail_fast_aborts_remaining_tasks`)
