Summary

  • join active stop schedules with GTFS frequency rows in the existing query
  • return exact_times=0 service through scheduleFrequencies
  • expand exact_times=1 service into first-stop-relative virtual stop times
  • preserve route/direction grouping, block-boundary flags, headsign weighting, and deterministic ordering
  • validate malformed frequency data and make large expansions cancellation-aware
  • add focused unit and HTTP integration coverage for both frequency modes

Root cause

The schedule-for-stop query did not read the frequencies table, so the endpoint always returned an empty scheduleFrequencies array and omitted frequency-defined service.

Spec notes

  • The wiki does not define a distinct response matrix for exact_times=1. This implementation follows the explicit clarification in schedule-for-stop: Frequency-based service is completely missing #1031 and expands deterministic frequency service into virtual scheduleStopTimes.
  • The corrected ScheduleFrequency model includes stopHeadsign, arrivalEnabled, and departureEnabled, while the current OpenAPI schema documents only the other six fields. These legacy fields are additive and existing OpenAPI conformance checks pass.

Scope note

This exceeds the preferred 200-line PR size because the query, generated sqlc row, handler classification, exact-time expansion, and coverage are tightly coupled parts of the same issue. Most of the diff is generated query code and tests; splitting it would leave an intermediate implementation without complete behavior or validation.

Validation

  • go fmt ./...
  • go vet -tags "sqlite_fts5 sqlite_math_functions" ./...
  • go vet -tags "purego" ./...
  • make test
  • make test-pure
  • make check-openapi
  • git diff --check

Closes #1031

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

GetScheduleForStopOnDate now returns first-stop departure and frequency metadata. The schedule-for-stop handler groups fixed and frequency service, expands exact-time frequencies, validates timing data, and emits sorted schedule results with weighted headsigns.

Changes

Schedule frequency support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Query frequency data
gtfsdb/query.sql, gtfsdb/query.sql.go
The query and generated row type now include first departure and optional frequency fields.
Frequency-aware schedule grouping
internal/restapi/schedule_for_stop_handler.go
The handler separates fixed and frequency rows, validates frequency windows, expands exact-time rows, handles cancellation and overflow, sorts results, and selects weighted headsigns.
Frequency behavior validation
internal/restapi/schedule_for_stop_handler_test.go
Tests cover approximate frequencies, exact-time expansion, ordering, grouping, weighted headsigns, invalid headways, and canceled contexts.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fa10f

The PR adds frequency-based schedule expansion and changes schedule grouping and ordering. At the current head, short frequency windows can omit headsign weighting, identical-headsign direction groups can be returned in nondeterministic order, and unbounded exact-time expansion can create excessively large responses; the new tests also leave shared frequency data behind, making validation order-dependent. These bounded correctness, availability, and test-isolation issues should be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

190-209: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Direction schedules order nondeterministically when two directions share a headsign.

The loop iterates directionMap, which is a Go map, so the append order varies between requests. slices.SortStableFunc at Line 207 only orders by TripHeadsign, so two directions with the same headsign keep the arbitrary map order. The same request can then return direction groups in different orders.

Iterate the direction keys in sorted order to make the output deterministic.

Code review

Found 1 issue:

  1. This duplicates work already in flight in open PR Feat: GTFS Frequencies Phase 3 - API Integration & Handlers #1348 ("GTFS Frequencies Phase 3"). That PR touches the same two files and implements the same schedule-for-stop behavior: exact_times=0 routed to scheduleFrequencies with run-count-weighted headsign voting and start-time sorting, and exact_times=1 expanded in memory into scheduleStopTimes relative to the trip's first stop departure. The two approaches are incompatible and will conflict: this PR adds the frequency columns to the hot GetScheduleForStopOnDate query (plus a stop_times self-join with a correlated MIN(stop_sequence) subquery to get the trip's first departure), while Feat: GTFS Frequencies Phase 3 - API Integration & Handlers #1348 leaves that query alone and batch-fetches via the existing GetFrequenciesForTrips. Only one of these should land for schedule_for_stop_handler.go; the rest of Feat: GTFS Frequencies Phase 3 - API Integration & Handlers #1348 (trip-details, trips-for-route, arrivals-and-departures) is genuinely additional scope. Worth deciding which implementation wins before either merges, rather than resolving it as a merge conflict.

This is careful work and I want to be clear up front that I'm not bouncing it
for a defect — I went looking and didn't find a correctness bug worth blocking
on. The frequencyInstanceCount arithmetic and the expansion loop's break
condition are mutually consistent in nanosecond units throughout, the
first_st self-join is exactly-one-row given stop_times' (trip_id, stop_sequence) primary key so it can't drop or duplicate rows, the generated
query.sql.go is consistent with a real make models run, and leaving
startTime/endTime unshifted for mid-route exact_times=0 stops matches
legacy OBA. You also correctly left internal/models/frequency.go alone rather
than fixing a pre-existing deviation in passing.

The problem is collision, and that's a coordination failure on my side, not
yours.

PR #1348 ("GTFS Frequencies Phase 3", @3rabiii) rewrites the same file —
internal/restapi/schedule_for_stop_handler.go, +250/-65 against your +259/-73 —
implementing the same feature: exact_times=0scheduleFrequencies entries,
exact_times=1 → in-memory expansion relative to the trip's first stop. Two
different mechanisms for one outcome, and only one can land.

I'm going to give that file to #1348, for two reasons:

  1. It's the next step in a sequence that's already partly on main#1333
    ("Split Frequency model into clear types") merged, and
    GetFrequenciesForTrips already exists in query.sql specifically to serve
    this. #1348 uses that batch query; this PR instead extends
    GetScheduleForStopOnDate with a LEFT JOIN frequencies plus a stop_times
    self-join. Given we already have a purpose-built batch query, growing the hot
    schedule query is the larger blast radius for the same result.
  2. #1348 covers the whole surface consistently — arrivals-and-departures,
    trip-details, trip-for-vehicle, trips-for-location, trips-for-route — where
    this is scoped to schedule-for-stop. Frequencies showing up on one endpoint
    and not its neighbours is exactly the kind of inconsistency that's painful to
    unpick later.

Neither of those is a knock on your implementation. You had no way to see #1348
coming, and I should have flagged the overlap when this opened rather than
letting you build it out. Sorry about that.

What I'd suggest. Two pieces here are independently useful and don't collide
with #1348 at all:

  • nulls.ValidInt64Count and its test — small, general, and belongs in the
    package regardless of who implements the handler.
  • The test suite. Your schedule_for_stop_handler_test.go coverage is more
    thorough than #1348's on this endpoint (~491 added lines vs ~131). Once #1348
    lands, porting your cases onto its implementation would be a genuinely valuable
    PR, and I'd review it quickly.

If you'd rather make the case that this approach should win over #1348's, I'll
hear it — I've asked for changes there too, so it isn't a done deal. But I'd want
that argument made before either of you writes more code, not after.

For the record, a few smaller things I noticed, useful whichever way this goes:

  • buildScheduleFrequency takes a row parameter it never reads.
  • Exceeding the 10,000-instance maxExpandedScheduleStopTimes budget returns a
    500 for the entire stop schedule rather than truncating. A valid feed with
    short exact_times=1 headways would get an error instead of a partial
    schedule, and the message always cites 10000 even when the remaining budget was
    smaller.
  • The new unexported helpers (getScheduleDirectionGroup,
    parseScheduleFrequencyRow, expandExactScheduleStopTimes, bestHeadsign,
    and the two new types) have no doc comments, where every pre-existing helper in
    that file does.
  • At +817/-101 this is 4x CONTRIBUTING's ~200-line target. I saw your scope note
    and the coupling argument is reasonable, but the SQL change, the nulls
    helper, and the handler rework were three separable commits' worth of PR.

Closing per the discussion above — this collides with #1348, which is taking over schedule_for_stop_handler.go. Extracted the reusable piece into #1364 (nulls.ValidInt64Count + test). Will look at porting this PR's test coverage onto #1348's implementation once that lands.
