fix: treat bare version constraints as exact match

When resolving dependencies like certifi@2025.10.5, the bare version
string "2025.10.5" was being rejected as an invalid SpecifierSet and
falling back to wildcard, which fetched the latest version instead.

Now bare versions starting with a digit are automatically prefixed
with "==" to create an exact match constraint.

 ## [Unreleased]
 ### Added
+- Added auto-fetch capability to dependency resolution endpoint
+  - `GET /api/v1/project/{project}/{package}/+/{ref}/resolve?auto_fetch=true` fetches missing dependencies from upstream registries
+  - PyPI registry client queries PyPI JSON API to resolve version constraints
+  - Fetched artifacts are cached and included in response `fetched` field
+  - Missing dependencies show `fetch_attempted` and `fetch_error` status
+  - Configurable max fetch depth via `ORCHARD_AUTO_FETCH_MAX_DEPTH` (default: 3)
+- Added `backend/app/registry_client.py` with extensible registry client abstraction
+  - `RegistryClient` ABC for implementing upstream registry clients
+  - `PyPIRegistryClient` implementation using PyPI JSON API
+  - `get_registry_client()` factory function for future npm/maven support
+- Added `fetch_and_cache_pypi_package()` reusable function for PyPI package fetching
+- Added HTTP connection pooling infrastructure for improved PyPI proxy performance
+  - `HttpClientManager` with configurable pool size, timeouts, and thread pool executor
+  - Eliminates per-request connection overhead (~100-500ms → ~5ms)
+- Added Redis caching layer with category-aware TTL for hermetic builds
+  - `CacheService` with graceful fallback when Redis unavailable
+  - Immutable data (artifact metadata, dependencies) cached forever
+  - Mutable data (package index, versions) uses configurable TTL
+- Added `ArtifactRepository` for batch database operations
+  - `batch_upsert_dependencies()` reduces N+1 queries to single INSERT
+  - `get_or_create_artifact()` uses atomic ON CONFLICT upsert
+- Added infrastructure status to health endpoint (`/health`)
+  - Reports HTTP pool size and worker threads
+  - Reports Redis cache connection status
+- Added new configuration settings for HTTP client, Redis, and cache TTL
+  - `ORCHARD_HTTP_MAX_CONNECTIONS`, `ORCHARD_HTTP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT`, etc.
+  - `ORCHARD_REDIS_HOST`, `ORCHARD_REDIS_PORT`, `ORCHARD_REDIS_ENABLED`
+  - `ORCHARD_CACHE_TTL_INDEX`, `ORCHARD_CACHE_TTL_VERSIONS`, etc.
 - Added transparent PyPI proxy implementing PEP 503 Simple API (#108)
   - `GET /pypi/simple/` - package index (proxied from upstream)
   - `GET /pypi/simple/{package}/` - version list with rewritten download links
@@ -16,6 +44,13 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0

 ### Changed
+- Removed Usage section from Package page (curl command examples)
+- PyPI proxy now uses shared HTTP connection pool instead of per-request clients
+- PyPI proxy now caches upstream source configuration in Redis
+- Dependency storage now uses batch INSERT instead of individual queries
+- Increased default database pool size from 5 to 20 connections
+- Increased default database max overflow from 10 to 30 connections
+- Enabled Redis in Helm chart values for dev, stage, and prod environments
 - Upstream sources table text is now centered under column headers (#108)
 - ENV badge now appears inline with source name instead of separate column (#108)
 - Test and Edit buttons now have more prominent button styling (#108)

+# PyPI Proxy Performance & Multi-Protocol Architecture Design
+
+**Date:** 2026-02-04
+**Status:** Approved
+**Branch:** fix/pypi-proxy-timeout
+
+## Overview
+
+Comprehensive infrastructure overhaul to address latency, throughput, and resource consumption issues in the PyPI proxy, while establishing a foundation for npm, Maven, and other package protocols.
+
+## Goals
+
+1. **Reduce latency** - Eliminate per-request connection overhead, cache aggressively
+2. **Increase throughput** - Handle hundreds of concurrent requests without degradation
+3. **Lower resource usage** - Connection pooling, efficient DB queries, proper async I/O
+4. **Enable multi-protocol** - Abstract base class ready for npm/Maven/etc.
+5. **Maintain hermetic builds** - Immutable artifact content and metadata, mutable discovery data
+
+## Architecture

+
+## Components
+
+### 1. HttpClientManager
+
+Manages httpx.AsyncClient pools with FastAPI lifespan integration.
+
+**Features:**
+- Default pool for general requests
+- Per-upstream pools for sources needing specific config/auth
+- Graceful shutdown drains in-flight requests
+- Dedicated thread pool for blocking operations
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+ORCHARD_HTTP_MAX_CONNECTIONS=100      # Default pool size
+ORCHARD_HTTP_KEEPALIVE_CONNECTIONS=20 # Keep-alive connections
+ORCHARD_HTTP_CONNECT_TIMEOUT=30       # Connection timeout (seconds)
+ORCHARD_HTTP_READ_TIMEOUT=60          # Read timeout (seconds)
+ORCHARD_HTTP_WORKER_THREADS=32        # Thread pool size
+```
+
+**File:** `backend/app/http_client.py`
+
+### 2. CacheService (Redis Layer)
+
+Redis-backed caching with category-aware TTL and invalidation.
+
+**Cache Categories:**
+
+| Category | TTL | Invalidation | Purpose |
+|----------|-----|--------------|---------|
+| ARTIFACT_METADATA | Forever | Never (immutable) | Artifact info by SHA256 |
+| ARTIFACT_DEPENDENCIES | Forever | Never (immutable) | Extracted deps by SHA256 |
+| DEPENDENCY_RESOLUTION | Forever | Manual/refresh param | Resolution results |
+| UPSTREAM_SOURCES | 1 hour | On DB change | Upstream config |
+| PACKAGE_INDEX | 5 min | TTL only | PyPI/npm index pages |
+| PACKAGE_VERSIONS | 5 min | TTL only | Version listings |
+
+**Key format:** `orchard:{category}:{protocol}:{identifier}`
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+ORCHARD_REDIS_HOST=redis
+ORCHARD_REDIS_PORT=6379
+ORCHARD_REDIS_DB=0
+ORCHARD_CACHE_TTL_INDEX=300           # Package index: 5 minutes
+ORCHARD_CACHE_TTL_VERSIONS=300        # Version listings: 5 minutes
+ORCHARD_CACHE_TTL_UPSTREAM=3600       # Upstream config: 1 hour
+```
+
+**File:** `backend/app/cache_service.py`
+
+### 3. PackageProxyBase
+
+Abstract base class defining the cache→fetch→store→serve flow.
+
+**Abstract methods (protocol-specific):**
+- `get_protocol_name()` - Return 'pypi', 'npm', 'maven'
+- `get_system_project_name()` - Return '_pypi', '_npm'
+- `rewrite_index_html()` - Rewrite upstream index to Orchard URLs
+- `extract_metadata()` - Extract deps from package file
+- `parse_package_url()` - Parse URL into package/version/filename
+
+**Concrete methods (shared):**
+- `serve_index()` - Serve package index with caching
+- `serve_artifact()` - Full cache→fetch→store→serve flow
+
+**File:** `backend/app/proxy_base.py`
+
+### 4. ArtifactRepository (DB Optimization)
+
+Optimized database operations eliminating N+1 queries.
+
+**Key methods:**
+- `get_or_create_artifact()` - Atomic upsert via ON CONFLICT
+- `batch_upsert_dependencies()` - Single INSERT for all deps
+- `get_cached_url_with_artifact()` - Joined query for cache lookup
+
+**Query reduction:**
+
+| Operation | Before | After |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| Cache hit check | 2 queries | 1 query (joined) |
+| Store artifact | 3-4 queries | 1 query (upsert) |
+| Store 50 deps | 50+ queries | 1 query (batch) |
+
+**Configuration:**
+```bash
+ORCHARD_DATABASE_POOL_SIZE=20         # Base connections (up from 5)
+ORCHARD_DATABASE_MAX_OVERFLOW=30      # Burst capacity (up from 10)
+ORCHARD_DATABASE_POOL_TIMEOUT=30      # Wait timeout
+ORCHARD_DATABASE_POOL_PRE_PING=false  # Disable in prod for performance
+```
+
+**File:** `backend/app/db_utils.py`
+
+### 5. Dependency Resolution Caching
+
+Cache resolution results for ensure files and API queries.
+
+**Cache key:** Hash of (artifact_id, max_depth, include_optional)
+
+**Invalidation:** Manual only (immutable artifact deps mean cached resolutions stay valid)
+
+**Refresh:** `?refresh=true` parameter forces fresh resolution
+
+**File:** Updates to `backend/app/dependencies.py`
+
+### 6. FastAPI Integration
+
+Lifespan-managed infrastructure with dependency injection.
+
+**Startup:**
+1. Initialize HttpClientManager (connection pools)
+2. Initialize CacheService (Redis connection)
+3. Load upstream source configs
+
+**Shutdown:**
+1. Drain in-flight HTTP requests
+2. Close Redis connections
+3. Shutdown thread pool
+
+**Health endpoint additions:**
+- Database connection status
+- Redis ping
+- HTTP pool active/max connections
+- Thread pool active/max workers
+
+**File:** Updates to `backend/app/main.py`
+
+## Files Summary
+
+**New files:**
+- `backend/app/http_client.py` - HttpClientManager
+- `backend/app/cache_service.py` - CacheService
+- `backend/app/proxy_base.py` - PackageProxyBase
+- `backend/app/db_utils.py` - ArtifactRepository
+
+**Modified files:**
+- `backend/app/config.py` - New settings
+- `backend/app/main.py` - Lifespan integration
+- `backend/app/pypi_proxy.py` - Refactor to use base class
+- `backend/app/dependencies.py` - Resolution caching
+- `backend/app/routes.py` - Health endpoint, DI
+
+## Hermetic Build Guarantees
+
+**Immutable (cached forever):**
+- Artifact content (by SHA256)
+- Extracted dependencies for a specific artifact
+- Dependency resolution results
+
+**Mutable (TTL + event invalidation):**
+- Package index listings
+- Version discovery
+- Upstream source configuration
+
+Once an artifact is cached with SHA256 `abc123` and dependencies extracted, that data never changes.
+
+## Performance Expectations
+
+| Metric | Before | After |
+|--------|--------|-------|
+| HTTP connection setup | Per request (~100-500ms) | Pooled (~5ms) |
+| Cache hit (index page) | N/A | ~5ms (Redis) |
+| Store 50 dependencies | ~500ms (50 queries) | ~10ms (1 query) |
+| Dependency resolution (cached) | N/A | ~5ms |
+| Concurrent request capacity | ~15 (DB pool) | ~50 (configurable) |
+
+## Testing Requirements
+
+- Unit tests for each new component
+- Integration tests for full proxy flow
+- Load tests to verify pool sizing
+- Cache hit/miss verification tests
