Two entries sat side by side on the coverage register, described as "the
same shape of loss". They are not the same shape at all, and the
difference is worth writing down.
ReminderPhaseConfig hangs off a medication, one row per drug, nested
inside something that already travels. It needed nothing new and it
travels now. The round trip tunes all four thresholds away from their
defaults and puts one of them in PERCENT rather than MINUTES, because a
restore that quietly fell back to the schema defaults would hand back
four plausible numbers and change when the drug turns orange.
NotificationPreference cannot travel, and the register was wrong to
imply it was merely unbuilt. A preference addresses ONE notification
channel by a hard foreign key. The channel model is deliberately
excluded from every backup because it carries channel secrets, and the
restore deletes every channel it finds. A carried preference would point
at a row that cannot exist: the same constraint violation the custom
mood categories were causing, waiting for somebody to implement it in
good faith.
So it moves to the deliberate exclusions with a reason that names the
dependency instead of the symptom. Re-applying somebody's tuning to a
channel they add after a restore is a feature about channel types, not a
backup contract about rows, and it should be argued for on its own
terms rather than smuggled in as debt repayment.
An account that ever created its own mood category could not be restored
at all. Not partially, not with a gap: the restore violated
mood_tags_category_id_fkey and rolled the whole file back, so the
operator got a 500 naming a constraint and an empty account.
The coverage register described this as custom tags landing in a
grouping that no longer exists, which reads like a cosmetic loss.
Measured, it is the same shape the retired-catalogue-key work already
removed once: one row nobody thought about taking down everything else
with it.
MoodTag.categoryId is a real foreign key. Seeded categories belong to
the instance and are deliberately still not carried, but a category the
person made is theirs, cascades away with them, and has to travel. It
now does, and it is written before the tags that point at it.
The hidden set travels by key rather than id, because what people hide
is almost always a seeded tag whose id differs on every instance. A key
this instance no longer knows costs one hidden row and is reported: a
silent drop would un-hide a factor somebody had deliberately taken out
of their mood editor, and they would have no way to know why it came
back.
Found by experiment rather than by reading: seeding a user-owned
category into the round trip turned it red with the constraint name, and
the same test is green now.
A restored account reported no supply at all. Every pack was gone, and
with it every low-stock reminder, on a feature that became first-class
when medication moved to one stock per drug.
The two travel together because the register itself paired them: without
the events the count "cannot be rebuilt even in principle", and without
the packs the events are a list of deltas against nothing.
The count comes back exactly as recorded, not recalculated from the
ledger. It is the value the server had resolved and the person was
shown, and every reminder already sent was computed from it. The fixture
makes the difference visible on purpose: thirty in, eight consumed, and
a remaining count of twenty-one, because somebody dropped one without
recording it. A restore that "corrected" that to twenty-two would
disagree with the account's own history and look like a bug fix while
doing it.
Both decimal columns cross the wire as strings. Half tablets are a real
prescription and a JSON number would round them.
The note follows the contract the side effects and dose changes beside
it already use, and the packs nest inside their drug, so a portable
restore minting fresh ids needs no remap.
Verified by breaking it: recomputing the remaining count from the ledger
fails the round trip with twenty-one against twenty-two.
The transcript came back in the previous change; what the Coach keeps
BETWEEN threads did not. A restored account had every word of every
conversation and a Coach that has to be told its own history again — the
register said as much for all three: "a restore makes the account
re-tell its history", "keeps the talk and loses the commitment", "a
restored account silently stops sending them".
Tombstones ride only in a disaster-recovery file. All three soft-delete,
and a deleted fact is hidden from injection while kept for audit — a
distinction only the owning instance can act on. A portable file
carrying them would hand a person rows their own app refuses to show
them, and a restore that resurrected one would put a fact back into the
Coach's mouth that the person had deliberately taken out of it.
Neither reference here is a foreign key. sourceConversationId, on all
three, and relatedPlanId on the reminder are bare id columns, so nothing
in the database refuses a value pointing at nothing. That makes them
more dangerous than a real key rather than less: a dangling reference
costs no error, it just quietly stops meaning anything while the row
goes on looking complete. The restore resolves both against what it
actually wrote, nulls what it cannot resolve, and reports the count.
Nulling rather than dropping is the point. A live reminder must not be
lost because the plan it mentions was tombstoned out of a portable file.
The reminder is still the person's and it still fires; what it loses is
a pointer that was already going nowhere.
Order follows from that: threads, then plans, then reminders. Running
the memory before the transcript would cut every fact loose from the
conversation it came out of and still report success.
Verified by breaking it: making the conversation lookup always return
null fails the round trip on the fact's own source field.
A restored account got a Coach that had never spoken to it. The
conversations, every turn in them, and the record of which vault
documents a thread was grounded in were all classified as backed up and
travelled with nothing. The register's own entry for the messages called
them the largest volume of free text an account owns after its
documents.
The three travel together because two of them mean nothing alone: a turn
without its thread has nowhere to hang, and an attachment names a
pairing rather than a thing.
documentScoped is the field that makes this more than lost history. It
is a permanent fence — set when a conversation is created through the
fenced endpoint or gets its first document, and lowered by no code path
anywhere, not by detaching every document and not by deleting one. A
restore that let it default to false would hand the tool loop back to
precisely the conversations the fence exists to keep away from it, and
nothing in the interface would look wrong afterwards. So it is carried
verbatim, restored verbatim, and asserted per thread rather than in
aggregate: a restore that wrote false everywhere would still return both
threads and every turn and satisfy every count.
Prose follows the contract the rest of the payload already uses. A
disaster-recovery file carries the stored ciphertext; a portable file
carries the text, because a portable export exists to be readable by the
person who owns it, exactly as it already decrypts medication notes,
mood notes and document summaries. A single row under a key the instance
no longer holds is named rather than thrown, so one unreadable turn
cannot cost someone the rest of the transcript.
Ids ride in both modes, as the reminders do, so an attachment resolves
and the facts, plans and reminders still owed have something real to
point at. The restore runs after the documents for the same reason, and
an attachment naming a document the file does not carry is dropped and
reported instead of failing the whole file over one link.
Verified by breaking it: forcing documentScoped to false on the way back
fails the round trip on that field by name.
The titration history was classified as backed up and travelled with
nothing. An account restored from a backup showed the current dose and
no record of how it got there: the ramp, the reductions, the note the
prescriber gave for each step. For a long-running drug that history is
often the more clinically interesting half.
Export writes the rows nested inside their drug, ordered by
effectiveFrom, so a portable restore that mints fresh ids needs no
remap. The note follows the contract the side effects already use: a
portable export decrypts it for a human reader, a disaster-recovery
export carries the ciphertext verbatim, and a restore never writes it
into the legacy plaintext column.
Order is the content here, not decoration. Two rows on the same drug in
the same unit, 5 mg then 10 mg, describe a ramp; the same two rows
returned in the other order describe a taper. Counting them back cannot
tell those apart, so the round-trip test asserts the sequence and the
values, not the count.
MedicationDoseChange moves from the coverage-pending register into the
two-ended list, which makes the round-trip registry incomplete until a
row is seeded and counted. That is a compile error, not a review note.
`MedicationPauseEra` was classified as backed up and travelled nowhere. The
spans where a drug was deliberately paused are the difference between "stopped
taking it" and "was told to stop taking it", and nothing else in the payload can
reconstruct them: an era is a decision, not an observation, and no intake row
records its own absence.
Without them the compliance recomputation reads a deliberate pause as missed
doses, so a restored account looks non-adherent for a stretch during which it
did exactly what it was told.
Both ends land together. The eras ride nested inside their medication, like the
schedules and side effects beside them, so a portable file that mints fresh
medication ids needs no remap — Prisma binds each child to whatever id the
parent actually got.
## The open era is the point
`resumedAt` is nullable end to end and the writer always emits it. An open era
means the drug is paused right now, and readers run it to the present. The
restore passes the null through rather than closing it at restore time: a pause
that was still running when the backup was taken is still running afterwards,
and closing it would silently turn an ongoing decision into a historical one.
Counting alone cannot catch that — a restore that closed the era would still
hand back two rows. So the round-trip test seeds one closed era and one open
one and asserts both field by field.
## What is proven and what is not
Moving the model out of `COVERAGE_PENDING` and onto `TWO_ENDED_MODELS` makes
the round-trip test's registry incomplete, which is a compile error. Verified
by watching `tsc` fail with TS2741 before the count-back was written: the
coupling the plan's comment describes does hold.
The round-trip test itself needs Postgres via testcontainers and has not been
run here. Typecheck, lint, format and the 21458-test unit suite are green; the
integration proof comes from CI.
The reminder cadences were the oldest entry on the coverage-pending
register: carried in name, restored never — an account came back silent
until every reminder was rebuilt by hand. Both models are two-ended now,
in the house shape (both ends in one file, reminders-backup.ts): every
column travels, nextDueAt verbatim rather than recomputed, the completion
ledger beside it, tombstones in disaster recovery only, and a portable
export omits a tombstoned reminder together with its ledger rows.
Encounter.reminderId and VaccinationRecord.reminderId stop being dropped
on restore: both remap against the restored reminders and fall to NULL
with a skip report only when the file genuinely lacks the row. The wipe
plan names the ledger child-before-parent; the classification guard,
completeness guards and the integration round trip all demand the new
coverage (proven failing with the section removed).
Refs #223
- The restore summary counts practitioners, encounters, the three link
tables, and vaccinations — restored in full since 08-01 but absent
from the report, so a file carrying visits or an Impfpass read as if
those sections were empty.
- A portable export that cannot open a field's ciphertext still nulls it
fail-soft, but now names the loss in the file's own decryptFailures
manifest — an export with a lost emergency note is no longer
byte-identical to one where the note was never written.
- A timezone change enqueues the medication-compliance re-fold: the
rollup keys its rows by the local day minted under the OLD zone, and
the coverage probe compares counts, not keys, so nothing else could
notice the stale bucketing.
The schedule exporter enumerates columns, so the new per-schedule
units-per-dose needs adding by hand: export it as a Decimal string in
the disaster-recovery payload, accept it in the wire schema, and write
it back on restore (NULL stays NULL to inherit). Extend the round-trip
test to prove a half-tablet slot survives export and re-import.
- a new backup section reads the dose and its document link through
their own delegates and writes both ends in one file, the arrangement
the visit section already uses
- the practitioner and the visit remap to the rows the same restore put
back; the booster reminder never travels, so its reference resolves to
null and the drop is reported rather than swallowed
- the antigen slug restores verbatim: a slug the catalogue has since
dropped still says what a person was given
- the round trip seeds a dose with every optional column filled and
reads each one back, so a returning row count cannot stand in for a
returning record
A person's whole 'which doctor' history was one free-text column on a
reminder: they typed the practice name once and could reach nothing else
that happened there. This turns that string into a record.
Five tables in migration 0320, all additive: an encounter that happened
or is booked, the account's own address book of practitioners, and three
links from a visit to the documents, lab results and conditions it
produced. The encounter is slim on purpose — the diagnosis stays on the
linked condition, the address on the linked practitioner, and the reason
each field was kept or cut is written at the model. No module gate, and
the schema says why rather than leaving the absence to be read as an
oversight.
Every carrier lands with the tables rather than after them. All five are
classified as travelling both ways and are proven doing it: a seeded row
of each goes out through the real export builder, the account is deleted
so the schema's cascade decides what survives, and the rows are counted
back through the real restore route. Two references deliberately do not
survive and are named instead of dropped quietly — the reminder a visit
points at is not in the backup, and a link whose far side a portable
export does not carry cannot resolve. The wipe plan deletes the links
before the lab results and documents they hang off, or the audit row
would report zero for rows that existed. The three encrypted columns are
registered for key rotation, without which dropping a legacy key would
make those notes permanently unreadable.
Widening the reminder origin enum is a type error at the reminder DTO,
which is the right outcome: the mapper now refuses an appointment row
outright rather than relabelling it as a checkup.
The disaster-recovery payload dropped the free-text note, the row's
timezone and the last-writer-wins counter, and the tag-link read filtered
`rating: { not: null }` — which is the definition of a BINARY link, so
every present/absent tag a person picked was missing from the file too.
Both arms now mirror the measurement pair: the recovery arm carries the
note ciphertext verbatim plus `tz`, `syncedAt`, `syncVersion`, `createdAt`
and `updatedAt`; the portable arm carries the decrypted note, `tz` and no
ciphertext.
BINARY keys ride in their own `structuredTags` array rather than as a
nullable rating inside `factors`, because a restore resolves `factors`
against RATED tags and names what it cannot resolve — a rating-less entry
there would collide with both. Absent means empty, so a file written
before this parses and restores exactly as it did.
The two link arms partition the links exhaustively: a malformed link comes
back named as unresolvable instead of falling between them.
The mood read was an inline `include`, so nothing could compare it to the
model the way `measurement-backup-completeness.test.ts` compares the
measurement select. Name it — `MOOD_ENTRY_BACKUP_SELECT` and
`MOOD_ENTRY_TAG_LINK_SELECT` — and add the sibling guard that binds both
to `prisma/schema.prisma`.
The mapper's parameter is spelled `moodEntry` rather than `e` because the
guard proves a column reaches a payload by matching `: moodEntry.`, and `e`
is also the intake-event mapper's parameter one section above: a matcher on
`: e.` would match across both and could never fail.
The guard is red as it stands, and names the defect: `note`,
`noteEncrypted`, `tz`, `syncedAt`, `syncVersion`, `createdAt` and
`updatedAt` are selected and written to no payload. The fix follows.
MedicationSideEffect was classified as backed up and was not carried: the
export wrote nothing and the restore had nothing to read, so a restored
account kept the drug and lost the reason someone may have stopped taking it.
Delegated write access sharpens that — a side effect is one of the things a
second person can contribute, and it was the contribution a restore dropped.
The rows ride inside their medication, like the schedules beside them. A
top-level array would have to carry `medicationId` and survive a restore that
mints a fresh id for a portable file, which is the remap the intake events
already work around by drug name; a nested create has no id to remap, because
Prisma binds the child to whatever id the parent row actually got.
The note follows the measurement contract for the same dual-column
arrangement: a portable export carries the decrypted note and no ciphertext, a
disaster-recovery payload carries the ciphertext verbatim, and the restore
re-encrypts a legacy plaintext row rather than writing plaintext back into the
column.
Move the model from COVERAGE_PENDING to TWO_ENDED_MODELS, and settle the claim
where a written verdict cannot: the round trip seeds a side effect, exports
through the real builder, empties the account and reads the row back out of
the real restore route with its category, entry, severity and note intact.
Both halves were excised to check the test can fail — the restore branch turns
the count red, the payload turns the field values red.
Four suites hand-roll a Prisma stand-in for the backup builder, so a new
section reaches them as an undefined delegate rather than as an empty
result. Each gains the delegate, and the admin restore round trip gains an
assertion that the day comes back with its composition and per-pillar
scores, not just its headline: a row restored without those looks restored
and answers nothing.
The admin panel offered a toggle for the Health-Score explainer and
described it as the ? next to the delta line. That ? had already been
taken off the insights surface a release earlier, and the caption that
replaced it went away entirely when the health score was replaced by
the reference composite. Since then an operator could turn the switch
off, get a saved confirmation, and change absolutely nothing.
The toggle, its wording in all six languages, its place in the flag
matrix the app and the iOS client both read, and its column on
app_settings are all gone. Nothing is left to promise a control that
does not exist.
A guard goes in with it: every remaining assistant sub-flag has to be
read by some surface, and the panel and the plumbing that carry all of
them by construction do not count as proof.
`IntradayCumulativeProfile` shipped classified as backed up and carried by
nothing. The drain folds the per-sample rows into twenty-four running totals
and deletes the originals in the same transaction, so past the grace window
the table is the only copy of a day's curve: a restore rebuilt the account
without it, reported success, and left the same-time baseline reading "still
learning" for a fortnight.
Builder and restore sit together in one file, the way the profile and cycle
pairs do, because the restore route delegates and a grep of the route alone
lies. The section spreads into the payload rather than being copied key by
key. Two curves for the same metric and day, or a curve that is not a whole
day, throw naming the day instead of writing a row every reader drops.
The pair is proven end to end rather than at each end: the round-trip suite
builds a real payload from a populated account, serialises it, parses it back
through the real parser, drives the real restore, and asserts on the rows
written. Remove the read and it goes red.
Both were classified as backed up when the backup plan was written and carried
by nothing. The custom metric is live data loss: a series the account defined
itself is the one kind no integration can re-sync, so a restore rebuilt the
account without the metric and every one of its readings, and reported success.
Builder and restore live in one file beside each other, the way the cycle pair
does — a grep of the restore route alone does not find either, because the route
delegates to both.
Readings nest inside the metric that owns them rather than referencing it by
name, so the restore has no parent to look up and no lookup to miss. A duplicate
metric name and an undecodable ciphertext field both throw and name the value.
Intake events whose medication did not restore now throw with the unresolved
reference instead of being filtered away into a dose history that comes back
short while the restore reports success.
The restore resolves a mood entry's rated factors by key and asks only for the
seeded catalogue. A tag the user created is not in it, so the lookup came up
short and the whole restore threw 'Unknown mood factor keys'. The file was
complete; it simply could not be read back.
That is the same cause as the cycle symptoms two commits ago, with the
opposite ending. There, an unresolvable key was filtered out and the loss was
silent. Here it stopped everything. One shape of missing definition, two
answers, neither of them the right one.
The account's own tag definitions travel now, get written before the factors
resolve, and the lookup accepts the seeded catalogue or the owner's own. The
seeded rows stay out of the file for the same reason as before: a restore must
not rewrite another instance's reference data.
Four more test mocks needed the new delegate, which is again the compiler and
the suite naming the call sites rather than me hunting for them.
The disaster-recovery backup selected every Measurement scalar except the
aggregation fields, so a restore brought every `stats:` aggregate back with no
provenance and the Apple Health authority ladder came back flat: an export.xml
source-day estimate could then overwrite a native HealthKit statistic.
`aggregationProvenance` now rides the select, the disaster-recovery
serialization, the payload schema and the restore mapping, following
`externalSourceVersion` exactly — including staying out of the reduced
portable shape, which carries the human-readable subset only. The schema field
is optional, so every backup written before this parses unchanged.
Restoring one of those older backups no longer recreates the ambiguity
migration 0263 repaired: an Apple Health row under a `stats:` identity with no
provenance comes back as LEGACY_UNKNOWN, the sentinel the cumulative drain
already writes in that situation, so a native sync or archive reprocess can
repair it. The gate is scoped as 0263 scoped its backfill — other providers
mint `stats:` identities for their cumulative dailies and have never carried
provenance, and ordinary point rows keep NULL.
Mood has been a first-class module here for a long time, with entries,
structured tags, rated factors and notes. The bridge to the external moodLog
service had nothing left to add, and its Settings card was withdrawn in
a56e6fe61 on the promise of a dedicated removal. This delivers it.
Removed: the hourly `moodlog-sync` queue, cron and handler binding; the
inbound webhook and its shared-secret handling; the reverse push and its four
call sites; the pull-sync module; the per-user credential routes and the
instance-wide toggle; the entry on the `/api/integrations/status` envelope,
the `IntegrationKey` union, the cadence map and the display-name table; the
boot-time secret rotation pass; 22 message keys per locale.
Migration 0271 drops the five `users` credential columns and
`app_settings.mood_log_global`, clears the ledger row for the provider, and
deletes the retired pg-boss schedule so no cron keeps enqueuing work no
handler drains.
Mood data is untouched. `mood_entries` is not named anywhere in the migration
and cannot be reached from it: the dropped columns carry no index, constraint
or foreign key, and `mood_entries.user_id` references `users(id)`, not any of
them. Rows the bridge imported keep `source = 'MOODLOG'`, and every read path
- list filter, source badge, exports, backups - still resolves that value.
`src/lib/validations/moodlog.ts` held the native mood-entry schemas alongside
the bridge's own; it is now `validations/mood.ts` and carries only the former.
Merge the eight reviewed audit fixes that were cut a week ago and never
landed. Main has moved on since, so each fix was re-checked against the
current tree and each of the five conflicts resolved by understanding
both sides.
Kept, still open on main:
- Proxy early exits now carry the transport security header subset via a
shared helper. Reconciled with main's /api/health worker-only carve-out.
- Batch measurement ingest bounds the entry instant so a future-dated row
can no longer win "latest reading" or poison the rollup buckets.
- Web Push dials through the pinned safeFetch dispatcher with
requirePublicHost, closing the last user-controlled-host egress.
- Mood bulk upsert and its tag/factor links run in one transaction, so a
rejected rating rolls the mood row back instead of leaving a tagless row.
- Full backup carries NutrientIntakeDay with its unit and source. Folded
into main's portable-export / disaster-recovery split.
- Live daily-series fallback restores the min/max spread band the tiered
read already emitted.
- Coach stream aborts its in-flight reader on unmount and resets send state
on a conversation switch.
- Manual water writes share the day-bound helper, nutrient add clamps after
the increment, and the thiamin cap drops to a real supplement ceiling.
- Compliance point window widens symmetrically instead of wrapping overnight.
- Oura, Polar and Fitbit token helpers classify an empty or non-JSON 2xx
body as a handled transient error.
- WebAuthn relying-party fallback to localhost is gated to development.
- Chart-token strip list is derived from the allowlist and pinned by a test.
- Regression tests pin the snapshot-cache tenant key, the GlitchTip
path-secret redaction and the Withings credentials delete.
Superseded by main, tests re-pointed at the current shape:
- The intake CSV import was rewritten on main to run through a background
job with a single-active-job admission gate. The future-date bound is
re-applied at request validation and the per-user limiter is kept for
parity with the bulk twin; the old synchronous-write test is replaced.
The full-backup export (plaintext + passphrase-encrypted, and the weekly
auto-backup) only ever covered measurements, medications, mood, and cycle
data. Labs, illness episodes, allergies, family history, and workouts were
silently missing, and the export UI implied "everything" was included.
Adds a shared records-backup section (src/lib/export/records-backup.ts) that
both the on-demand export routes and the weekly data-backup worker read from:
lab results + the biomarker catalog, illness episodes (including flares via
parentConditionId) with their day-logs, allergies, family history, and
workout summaries. Every read is owner-scoped and soft-delete-filtered;
encrypted free-text columns decrypt fail-soft so one bad row never aborts
the whole backup.
Document original files and workout GPS/per-sample time series stay
deliberately out of the JSON payload (size). The payload now carries an
explicit manifest disclosing exactly that, and the export UI states it in
plain text instead of implying completeness. These new domains are
export-only for now — admin restore still only recreates the original
measurements/medications/mood/cycle domains; the payload validates and
reports counts for the rest, but restoring a snapshot does not yet recreate
them.
Also fixes the admin backup-upload total to count every domain, not just
the original four.
Add an opt-in to download the full backup as an encrypted archive instead
of a plaintext JSON file. The user supplies a passphrase over the request;
the server derives a 256-bit key with Argon2id and seals the export bytes
with AES-256-GCM into a self-describing HLX1 archive (magic, version, KDF
params, salt, iv, tag, ciphertext), mirroring the off-host backup envelope.
POST /api/export/encrypted returns the binary archive and is step-up gated
for accounts with a second factor; single-factor accounts use a normal
session. The passphrase is never stored and never logged, and there is no
server-side recovery — the UI states this. A standalone decryptor
(scripts/decrypt-export.ts) opens the archive with the passphrase outside
the app. The plaintext full-backup route now shares one payload builder so
both variants emit the same restore-compatible shape.
