Problem

BirdMessenger's recipient picker can take several minutes to open. MailRecipientDirectory.refreshMissingTexturesAsync fetched every directory entry without a cached skin, one request at a time with an 8 s timeout. Lookups that failed or found no base skin were never remembered, so each mailbox use repeated all of them, and overlapping calls ran side by side.

Changes

  • A call made while a refresh is running waits for that refresh instead of starting another. All waiting callbacks run on the main thread when it finishes.
  • A character's lookup isn't retried for 10 minutes after an attempt. Online players still get their skin cached through the normal wardrobe pull.
  • remove also clears the character's retry record.

The public RPCharacters.refreshMailTargetTexturesAsync API is unchanged. The companion BirdMessenger PR stops the picker waiting on this refresh, and either PR can be merged first.

Testing

  • New MailRecipientDirectoryTest case: two overlapping calls make one lookup and both callbacks run; a third call straight away makes no new lookup and still runs its callback. It fails on main and passes here.
  • mvn verify passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Texture refresh requests for the same character now share an in-progress lookup and avoid repeated attempts for 10 minutes, including after a failed lookup.
    • Characters added while a refresh is in progress are checked in a follow-up pass.
    • Completion callbacks run after refresh processing finishes, and an error in one callback no longer prevents other callbacks from running.

refreshMissingTexturesAsync fetched every directory entry without a
cached skin on each call, one request at a time with an 8 s timeout.
Lookups that failed or found no base skin were never remembered, so
every mailbox use repeated them, and overlapping calls ran in parallel.

Let a call made during a running refresh wait for that refresh, and do
not retry a character's lookup for 10 minutes after an attempt.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Texture refreshes skip lookups attempted within the previous ten minutes and coalesce overlapping requests. A request during an active refresh can trigger a follow-up pass. Queued callbacks run on the server scheduler after refresh processing finishes.

Texture Refresh Coordination

Layer / File(s) Summary
Retry tracking and request coordination
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/mail/MailRecipientDirectory.java
The directory records per-character texture lookup attempts, skips attempts made within ten minutes, queues callbacks for active refreshes, and clears attempt times when a character is removed.
Async completion and callback dispatch
src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/mail/MailRecipientDirectory.java, src/test/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/mail/MailRecipientDirectoryTest.java
Refresh completion starts a requested follow-up pass or schedules queued callbacks. Tests cover shared lookups, retry suppression after a failed lookup, follow-up passes, and callback exceptions.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1aca6

Re-adding a character during a refresh can delay its mail texture lookup for ten minutes. This is a narrow, recoverable issue, but the retry state should be tied to the entry before merging.

- Around line 165-166: When upsert adds an eligible character during an active
texture refresh, the queued callback can run before that character’s texture is
fetched. Update the refresh flow around textureRefreshRunning to include newly
eligible entries in the active batch or start a follow-up refresh before
runWaiters dispatches callbacks.
- Line 205: Update the scheduled callback dispatch in MailRecipientDirectory so
each waiter runs independently: catch and log a RuntimeException from an
individual callback, then continue invoking the remaining callbacks.

A call made while a refresh is running now marks a follow-up pass, so a
character added in the meantime is looked up before the waiting
callbacks run. A callback that throws is logged and the rest still run.

🟡 Minor · Bind retry timestamps to the snapshotted Entry. · MailRecipientDirectory.java:148-203

src/main/java/net/tfminecraft/rpcharacters/mail/MailRecipientDirectory.java:148-203
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Bind retry timestamps to the snapshotted Entry.

runTexturePass() stores retry timestamps only by characterId, although missing contains specific Entry objects. During an asynchronous follow-up, remove(String) can clear the timestamp after the pass collects missing and before it records the attempt. Re-adding the character creates a new entry, but the stale timestamp can suppress its lookup for ten minutes.

The fetch itself does not write the timestamp after removal. The race is between entry collection and timestamp marking.

Suggested fix
-	private static final Map<String, Long> TEXTURE_ATTEMPTS = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
+	private static final Map<String, TextureAttempt> TEXTURE_ATTEMPTS = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
 	private static final List<Runnable> TEXTURE_WAITERS = new ArrayList<>();
 	private static boolean textureRefreshRunning;
 	private static boolean textureRefreshAgain;
 
+	private record TextureAttempt(Entry entry, long attemptedAt) {}
+
...
-			Long attempted = TEXTURE_ATTEMPTS.get(entry.characterId);
-			if (attempted != null && now - attempted < TEXTURE_RETRY_MILLIS) {

+			if (attempted != null
+					&& attempted.entry() == entry
+					&& now - attempted.attemptedAt() < TEXTURE_RETRY_MILLIS) {
 				continue;
 			}

-			TEXTURE_ATTEMPTS.put(entry.characterId, now);

around lines 148 - 203:
Update runTexturePass and TEXTURE_ATTEMPTS so each retry timestamp is associated
with the specific Entry instance, and apply the retry delay only when the stored
attempt belongs to that same entry. This lets a newly added Entry for the same
characterId proceed without being suppressed by a stale attempt.
