Nothing recomputes an answer. The module map they produced survives on the
account row, but the map says what is switched on, not that the person told the
flow they take medication daily and have a visit next month — so a restore
without the row opens a blank questionnaire for somebody who already answered
it, and leaves the checklist ordering itself from nothing.
Both ends live in one file, the arrangement the visits and the score already
use, because a reader who greps only the restore route gets a false negative
when the route delegates.
`modulesDerivedAt` is the field that makes this more than history and it is
asserted rather than defaulted: it is the once-only latch on the module
derivation, so a restore that let it default to null would hand the next confirm
permission to re-apply the questionnaire over every module decision taken since,
silently. The round trip seeds it non-null and reads it back.
The file's schema validates the three answer objects loosely and the restore
narrows them through the same fail-soft readers the account payload uses. Being
stricter there would refuse a whole account's restore over one retired chip.
The wipe takes the row for the reason the reset already takes the wizard's own
columns: the record the answers were about is gone, so the answers describe
nothing.
A `DataBackup` row that fails to decrypt answered 500 on the restore, the
download and the preview. It is not a server fault: either the key that wrote
the copy is no longer in `ENCRYPTION_KEYS` — a rotation that dropped the legacy
entry before the script reported zero rows, the case the rotation runbook warns
about — or the stored bytes are not the ones that were written. Every other
bad-input arm on those routes already answers 4xx, and the 500 also paged the
error reporter as if the process had broken.
All three now answer 422 with `meta.errorCode = backup.payload.undecryptable`
and one shared sentence, so the three routes cannot drift into three wordings
for one condition. The download's second 500 stays: a payload this instance
wrote and cannot parse really is a fault here.
The two routes that open a stored copy move from the unpublished list into the
contract, because the refusal is now a promise an operator can look up rather
than whatever the handler happened to answer. The restore publishes its
`Idempotency-Key` header with them.
Nothing calls it any more: the weekly pass and the off-host job both
walk the payload through the streaming writer. Keeping an exported
function that builds the entire record as one string invites the next
caller to reintroduce the memory profile this branch removes.
The per-user date order reached the entry form and nothing else. A
reporter switched away from MM/DD/YYYY, the date picker followed, and
the dashboard chart axes and the measurements list kept the old order.
`makeFormatters` took `timeFormat` and `dateFormat` as optional
parameters defaulting to "AUTO", so six of the seven constructions in
the tree silently rendered the locale default and nothing anywhere
said the setting had been dropped. Drop both defaults. The compiler
then names every caller: the chart bucket labels, the legacy
`@/lib/format` helpers the measurements list renders through, the
medication compliance and efficacy charts, the doctor-report PDF and
the clinician share view.
Thread the preference:
- `makeBucketLabelFormatters` takes the order; the health and mood
charts read `useDateFormatPreference()`. The UTC pin decides which
day the label names, the preference decides how it is spelled, and
the two are separate questions.
- `format.ts` reads `readStoredDateFormat()` beside the timezone and
hour-cycle mirrors it already read.
- The PDF takes `dateFormat` as a required render option, alongside
`timeFormat`, which was optional for the same reason.
- The clinician share view spells the OWNER's dates the owner's way.
It also picked up the owner's hour cycle, which it had been ignoring
while the PDF route beside it already honoured it. Both resolve
through the new `resolveUserFormatPreferences`, the counterpart to
`resolveUserTimezone`.
Textual months stay on the UI locale. The preference pins numeric
field order by rendering through de-DE / en-US / en-CA, and a textual
month through those would change the month name's language.
Add `date-order-explicit-formatter-guard`: a raw numeric date renderer
must take its locale from the preference or carry a written reason,
and a formatter construction may not hard-code "AUTO" for the order.
Its allowlist holds thirteen calendar-day key builders, each with the
reason it has no order to get wrong. The sibling timezone guard passes
every one of them, because naming a calendar says nothing about
spelling a date.
Refs #922
The writer added in v1.38.6 compared the process's live heap usage against
80 % of V8's heap limit and aborted above it. That reading is not the
backup's footprint; it is the whole process's, garbage included. A
long-running app sits at 400 MB of largely collectable heap, so on a 1 GB
container (a 419 MB budget) the weekly pass aborted the first flush of every
account: four out of four in seven seconds, the smallest of them a demo
record whose entire stored copy is 1.2 MB, each told its record was too large
and its operator to buy memory.
Drop the gauge. What the writer holds is bounded by its shape and needs no
reading to prove: the three unbounded tables are pulled a page at a time,
every other section is released as soon as its JSON is in the sink, and at
most one flush of text is pending. The one copy that does grow with the
record is the stored blob, so the bound moves there — counted in the
ciphertext bytes actually produced, against a fifth of this process's heap
limit, which is what two copies of the answer plus a live set have to fit
inside. The message names both numbers.
A pass that wrote nothing for anybody now fails its job instead of reporting
`ok: true` with `backed: 0`, so the failing-queue panel and the backups page
read the same thing an operator would. A pass where some accounts were
written keeps passing with the failures as counts.
Measured under --max-old-space-size=450 from a heap deliberately dirtied
first: 445 000 measurements peak at 28 MB held by the backup, a one-row
record at under 1 MB.
The compression that landed last release was real and was measured in the
wrong place. On a development machine with a multi-gigabyte heap the pass
finished; the container the job runs in is capped at 1 GB, which gives V8
a 524 MB limit, and there the same pass died of memory about fifteen
seconds in. Because the job shares the application process, that was not
one failed backup — it was a restart, and every signed-in session on the
host went with it.
Reproduced before touching anything, under `--max-old-space-size=450`
against a seeded account of 445 000 measurements, 30 000 mood entries and
60 000 intake events: `FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit` at 34 s. The same
fixture doubled to 890 000 measurements now completes inside a 296 MB
limit, holding 16 MB of live heap where the old writer held 168 MB.
The document is written incrementally now. `buildFullBackupPayload` takes
a `deferBulk` mode that declares the three unbounded tables instead of
reading them, and `streamFullBackupJson` walks the payload in key order,
pulls those tables through page by page, and releases every other section
as soon as its JSON reaches the sink. `packBackupBlobStreaming` feeds that
into gzip and an AES-256-GCM stream, so nothing between the database rows
and the stored value ever exists whole. Both writers go through the same
per-row serialisers, and the round-trip suite pins their output byte for
byte rather than trusting that they agree.
The intake and mood reads are ordered totally now. A keyset cursor needs
it, and a partial order also let two exports of one account differ over a
tie, which every multi-dose day has.
The streamed ciphertext is a new shape at rest, because GCM only produces
its tag once the last block is in and a leading tag is what makes the old
layout unstreamable. It carries a marker no older writer can produce, so
the two families are disjoint by construction rather than by sniffing.
All three stored shapes — plain, compressed, streamed — restore, proved
both ways.
The writer also watches its own live heap and stops at 80 % of V8's
limit. An account too large for its host is now one failed backup,
counted in the run's meta, instead of a restart for everybody on it.
The stored column is the ceiling that is left: `data_backups.data` is a
single `text` value, so the finished artifact has to exist as one string,
and that is the only part of the job still growing with the record. The
operator runbook says so, with the number at which it starts to matter.
The export was its only user, and the export now reads through a helper that
marks an undecryptable note instead of blanking it. Nothing else wanted the
silent null: the list DTO never carries the note at all, only `hasNote`, and
the single-resource GET has always used the throwing decrypt so a key gap
surfaces there.
Deleted rather than kept behind a dead-code exemption. A fail-soft twin
sitting unused next to a strict one is the exact shape this branch has been
clearing out — the next person writing an export reaches for whatever is
nearest, and the whole point was that the nearest thing should not silently
swallow a row. It had no test of its own, so none was removed; the three
comments that pointed at it are rewritten to say what is true now.
The weekly pass built the whole account in memory, serialised it whole,
encrypted the string whole, and handed the result to the database whole.
That is four full copies of the record at the same moment — the object
graph, the JSON, the base64 ciphertext at 1.33x the JSON, and the copy the
driver makes of that parameter. Measured against a seeded account of
445 000 readings, the JSON alone is 242 MB and the run dies of heap
exhaustion; under a modest heap it never reaches the insert. The pass was
not slow, it could not finish.
A health record's JSON is extremely repetitive, so gzip takes that 242 MB
to 14 MB and every copy after it shrinks with it. The same run completes
in about twenty seconds with a peak heap of 434 MB and a stored row of
25 MB instead of 322 MB — which also matters because the copy lives inside
the database it would be needed to restore. Both backup jobs now hand the
serialised form back from a frame of its own, so the payload graph is
released before the compress step allocates anything.
The marker sits inside the ciphertext, so the stored column keeps the one
shape `decrypt()` already understands and rows written before this still
restore. The off-host object gets the same treatment through the version
byte its envelope always carried; version 1 objects still read back, which
both the restore drill and the restore script depend on.
The obvious saving — dropping soft-deleted readings, four rows in five on
a real record — is not taken, and the round-trip test now seeds a
tombstone and asserts it makes the journey. A tombstone inside the
retention window is what tells a synced client the row is gone and what
makes a re-sent sample a no-op; a restore without them brings back every
measurement the account ever deleted on the next device sync.
A lab note or a biomarker context written under a key this instance no
longer holds came out of a portable export as `null` — byte-identical to a
column that was never written. The restore importer then wrote nothing, so
the text was gone and nothing said it had ever been there. The whole loss
fit inside a fail-soft `catch` written for a list view, where returning null
is the right answer.
Both now export a short marker naming what happened, and the marker survives
a restore. The Coach transcript already did this with a placeholder sentence
and the doctor report with a rendered flag; the marker is now one constant
the transcript shares, and its comment says why an empty string will not do.
The unit test that required `note: null` here pinned the loss. It keeps the
half that matters — one bad row must never abort the export — and asserts
the marker instead. The round trip is proven end to end against a real
restore.
The comprehensive-briefing cache (User.insightsCachedText) is one slot
per account with no record of the language it was written in. Every
reader served whatever was there, so a German-language account whose
nightly warm had written English kept seeing English on the dashboard
lead and the Today briefing. The request path only replaced it once the
row was a day old and the provider answered, which with a provider at
its usage limit was never.
Add User.insightsCachedLocale (migration 0335). Both writers store the
locale they generated in; the timestamp-only refresh on an unchanged
snapshot tags the row too, since the fingerprint covers the generation
locale. Every reset that nulls the text nulls the tag.
The snapshot briefing lift and GET /api/insights/generate treat a tag
that differs from the reader's locale as an empty cache: no prose, no
timestamp, the preparing / no-provider state, and the out-of-band warm
enqueued in the reader's locale through the existing path. The
generator's own short-circuit and the POST short-circuit refuse to call
a foreign-language row fresh. A NULL tag (rows written before this
change) is served as before until the next write tags it. The Today
digest derives from the snapshot and follows.
Covered by unit tests on the lift, the route and the generator, and an
integration test that writes the row through Prisma and reads the
snapshot for a reader in another language.
A restore's first act is to delete the class of records it is about to
rebuild, so a payload whose documents section is simply absent did not
"restore everything else". It emptied the vault, reported success, and left
the operator to find the hole later.
The whole file is refused instead, above the transaction that wipes the
account, and the refusal names the section and says nothing was changed —
an operator holding the only copy of an account cannot act on "restore
failed". The sections ride the error envelope as meta.errorCode
backup.section.missing, and the admin console holds them in a panel beside
the skip report rather than a toast that outlives nothing.
The manifest is the discriminator, and only the manifest. A portable export
leaves the mental-health screeners and the consent receipts out on purpose
and declares both as omitted; those files still restore. So does a file
whose section is present and empty, which is what an account with no
documents honestly writes, and so does every backup written before the
manifest existed. The integration test proves the distinction with the same
builder and the same deleted keys, differing only in what the manifest said.
The route is deliberately outside the published contract — requireAdmin is
cookie-only — so the OpenAPI document is unchanged.
The register said a restored medication keeps today's schedule and loses
the record of when the dose or the timing moved. Measured, it costs more
than a record: the band minter reads each past day against the schedule
that was live THEN, so an account that came back without its eras had its
own compliance history rewritten against a plan it was never on.
The hard part was supersededByRevisionId, the pointer from a corrected
ARCHIVED era to the MANUAL row that replaced it. Three things about it
had to be settled.
It is a bare id column with no relation, so nothing in the database
refuses a value that points at nothing. That makes losing it quieter and
worse than a broken foreign key would be: every era consumer SKIPS a row
that carries the pointer, so a corrected era whose link came back null
goes live again beside its own correction, and the timeline shows one
window twice with past days minted against whichever the query read
first.
A portable restore mints fresh ids, so the pointer cannot travel as one.
It travels as a POSITION in the drug's own ordered era list. That list is
the only address space both ends share: the builder sorts it totally
(validFrom, then createdAt, then id) so two eras sharing an instant
cannot swap places between two exports of the same account, and the
pointer never crosses a drug, because every route that writes it scopes
the update to one medication. The same mechanism serves both purposes
rather than one carrying ids and the other positions.
Writing it needs two passes, because the row a link addresses is as often
written after the row addressing it as before. Pass one creates every era
with the link null; pass two patches the links once every position has an
id.
A hand-edited file that names a position out of range, or an era's own
position, gets the era and not the pointer, and the position is reported
as scheduleRevisionLink with the JSON path into the file. Refusing the
file would cost an operator every era of every drug over one bad integer,
and writing the link would point a correction at whatever row happened to
be there. A row that supersedes itself is treated the same way: every
consumer would skip it, so the era would vanish from the timeline while
still sitting in the table.
The round trip seeds three eras with one supersede among them and asserts
the shape of the chain, then asserts that exactly two are live. Three
rows with every link null satisfies any count and has thrown away the
only thing the pointer says.
The register said the drug comes back with no statement of what it was
for, which is exactly what a pinned efficacy target is: a row exists ONLY
where the person overrode the derived ATC / name resolution, so it is a
decision and never a computation. Nothing recomputes it after a restore
because there is nothing to recompute it from.
The lab arm travels as a biomarker NAME rather than an id, the way a lab
result's cross-reference already does. A portable restore mints a fresh
catalogue id, and `Biomarker` is unique on `(userId, name)`, so the name
is the only end of the reference that survives the trip.
The obstacle was ordering, not machinery: the remap map already existed,
but the drugs are rebuilt several hundred lines before the analytes are.
The targets are collected against the id each drug actually got and
written in a second pass once the biomarkers exist.
The alternative was hoisting the biomarker restore above the medications,
and it loses on two counts. `biomarkerByName` and `restoredBiomarkerIds`
are read by the lab-result loop immediately below the block, so moving it
would separate a map from its only other consumer and leave a later edit
free to re-order them back with nothing noticing. And the dependency
would read backwards: a pinned target is a leaf of the medication tree,
and letting a leaf dictate where the clinical record gets rebuilt inverts
what the file is about. The second pass states the constraint where it
applies instead of hiding it in a line order.
A named analyte the restore did not put back is dropped and reported as
medicationTarget rather than written. `biomarkerId` is a real foreign
key, so a dangling value would fail the constraint and cost the whole
account over one override. Dropping beats nulling here because the
override IS the reference: a row with neither arm set is what the
resolver already reads as "no override", so keeping it would restore
something that means nothing while still holding the primary slot.
The round trip asserts the restored target points at the biomarker the
restore itself wrote, resolved from the database rather than remembered
from the fixture. Counting would have passed on a row whose biomarkerId
came back null, and nothing else would have complained: the resolver
falls back to deriving a target and the page still renders.
The register said the originating device may still hold them. That holds
for about as long as the phone beside the watch does, and not at all once
a Withings connection is revoked: the signal id stops resolving with it.
So a self-hoster who exported and wiped had a file with no traces in it
and a restore that reported success.
Both ends live in src/lib/export/ecg-backup.ts, the arrangement the
reminders, visits and Coach sections already use.
Three things needed deciding.
The waveform follows the note contract: ciphertext verbatim in a
disaster-recovery payload, the micro-volt samples decrypted in a portable
one. There is no placeholder for a strip that will not decrypt the way
the Coach has one for a turn, because waveformEncrypted is a required
column. Such a recording is left out of a portable file with a warning on
the wide event, so the number of strips in the file is the number of
strips that can be shown.
measurementId is a REAL foreign key against the event row a strip was
filed with, unlike the Coach references next door. A value that will not
resolve does not dangle quietly here, it violates the constraint and
rolls the whole restore back over one cross-reference. A portable export
omits soft-deleted measurements, so that case is reachable rather than
theoretical. The reference is resolved against the measurements the
restore wrote, nulled when it cannot be, and reported as ecgReference.
The strips are wiped and rewritten by the section itself. The wipe at the
top of the restore never reached them: a recording hangs off the account,
not off a measurement, so deleting the measurements only nulled the
pointer and left the row behind.
The round trip asserts the row column by column rather than counting it.
A recording is three things at once and each is the whole value of the
row on its own: a strip with no rhythm verdict is a squiggle nobody has
read, a strip with no recordedAt belongs to no day, and a strip with no
samples is a claim that an ECG exists which nothing can draw.
Four models leave the coverage-pending register with both ends and a
round-trip proof: PersonalRecord, UserAchievement, EnvironmentContext and
EnvironmentTravelLocation. Two new section modules hold reader and restore
beside each other, the arrangement the visits, vaccinations, reminders and
Coach sections already use.
The register understated two of them. The bests are "recomputable in
principle", which is true and does not help: nothing recomputes them, and a
recomputation over a restored history would find different rows, because
sample series and GPS routes never travel, a portable file omits deleted
readings, and a record set in a reading that has since been corrected cannot
be found twice. The badge's unlock date is worse. The evaluator prefers a
persisted date over a derived one, and several of the dates it can still
derive come from counters no backup carries, so a dropped row does not relock
the badge, it re-earns it today.
PersonalRecord.sourceMeasurementId is the reference that needed care, and it
is the dangerous kind. The schema declares no relation for it; migration 0054
created the column as a real foreign key against measurements. Writing it
blind is not a dangling pointer, it is a constraint violation that rolls the
whole restore back and hands the operator an empty account. Measured, with the
resolution removed: "Foreign key constraint violated on the constraint:
personal_records_source_measurement_id_fkey", HTTP 500, nothing restored. So
the restore runs after the measurements, resolves the pointer against the rows
it actually wrote, nulls what it cannot resolve and reports it under a new
personalRecordReference skip kind.
An unlocked badge names a definition in the code catalogue, which drifts
between the release that writes a file and the one that reads it. The id is
carried and written back verbatim rather than judged, the same answer the
vaccination restore gives an antigen slug it cannot resolve.
The readings and the location periods travel as a pair because carrying the
readings alone is worse than losing them. The environment resolver reads the
periods live, so with them gone the nightly seven-day lookback re-resolves
every trip day to the home location and upserts over the row: an account would
come back with a fortnight abroad and then have it quietly rewritten as a
fortnight at home, days after a restore that reported success. Day keys stay
strings end to end, and fetchedAt is restored verbatim so a two-year-old
provisional reading does not claim it was confirmed today.
The round trip seeds bests that share a metric type and an instant and differ
only in the sport slot, two badges earned years apart (one of them under an id
this build no longer defines), and a trip day beside a home day, then reads
each back column by column. Counting alone passes every one of the failures
worth fearing here: slots dropped so a 5 km best is presented as a 10 km best,
unlock dates stamped at restore time, a trip day re-attributed to the home
city, a location period whose bounds no longer cover the reading it explains.
Each of those was applied on purpose and each failed on its own assertion.
Two schema comments claimed no read path selects a column that this backup now
selects; both say what reads it instead of staying wrong.
`DocumentConditionLink` and `ExtractedFact` were classified as backed up and
came back from no restore. The register said a restored vault is unsorted and
that the facts are re-derivable by re-running the extraction. The first is
right; the second understates it. What a re-run cannot produce is the REVIEW
DECISION on each fact, and every column holding one defaults to "nobody has
looked at this yet". `POST /api/documents/inbound/[id]/confirm` acts only on a
PENDING fact and commits it into the structured store, so a restore that let
those columns default would offer an already-committed reading for approval a
second time and write a second lab result behind it.
Both ends live in `src/lib/export/document-filing-backup.ts`, beside each other
like the Coach, reminder and vaccination sections. `status`, `needsReview`,
`confidence` and the commitment pair are carried and restored verbatim, and the
wire schema requires the first three rather than defaulting them.
Ordering: the section runs after the documents, the condition episodes, the lab
results and the medications. The first two are real foreign keys, unlike the
Coach's bare id columns, so an unresolvable value there does not cost one edge,
it aborts the transaction and the operator gets none of the account back. The
last two are what `committedRecordId` resolves against. The builder therefore
carries a filing or a fact only when both of its ends are carried, and the
restore still checks and drops what a hand-edited file leaves unresolvable.
`committedRecordId` is nulled together with its type, because a type with no id
claims a commitment the row cannot name.
The round trip seeds a second condition and files the page under it, so a
restore that kept the count and lost the pairing fails rather than handing back
a lab report filed under a head cold. A third case breaks both references in a
saved file to prove the drop path runs and still answers 200.
Three new skip catalogues arrive with it, and with them labels for the three
that had none: a dropped Coach attachment had been reaching the operator's
screen labelled "mood factor" since it was added. The label chain is exhaustive
now, so the next catalogue without one stops the build.
Two models come off the coverage register together, and neither is an
ordering or an id-remap problem. Both hang off the account and nothing
else. What kept them off was a question the code never wrote down, so
this change writes it down.
The screeners hold completed WHO-5, PHQ and GAD administrations, and for
PHQ-9 the encrypted blob contains item 9, the question about thoughts of
being better off dead. The application already draws a line around that
blob: it keeps a coarse item9Flagged boolean so the history view can
re-surface crisis resources without decrypting anything. The intent here
was to follow that line and carry the administration while leaving the
answers encrypted. The schema settles it more firmly. responsesEncrypted
is Bytes and NOT NULL, so there is no half-row to write and the choice
is the whole thing or none of it. A plaintext export in a downloads
folder is the wrong home for that answer, so the row rides in a
disaster-recovery file only.
The consent receipts are not sensitive in that way. Their problem is
that a consent is given to an operator. A receipt restored onto a
different instance asserts an agreement that operator never obtained,
with a signature timestamp to make it look settled. A disaster-recovery
file goes back to the same instance, so it travels there and not in a
portable one.
In both cases the portable file SAYS so in its own manifest rather than
reporting an account that has neither. The manifest is merged rather
than added beside the records one, because two keys of the same name
would shadow each other depending on spread order.
item9Flagged is restored from the file rather than recomputed.
Recomputing would mean decrypting every administration during a restore,
which is the handling this data is kept away from, and the stored flag
is what the history view has been reading all along.
Verified by breaking it: dropping revokedAt on the way back fails the
round trip with a withdrawn consent coming back as an active one.
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 entries gained a soft-delete this release; both backup ends follow in
the same one. A portable export omits tombstoned readings so a restore
cannot resurrect them; a disaster-recovery payload carries the tombstone
and the restore writes it back, so the account returns exactly as it
stood — undo affordance included.
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.
A content-index attempt that failed (raster failure, a scan with no
text layer, a provider error) recorded its reason only in the server's
observability stream. In the vault, hasContentIndex false looked
identical for a document nobody ever tried and one that failed three
times, and the detail sheet had nothing to say about either.
Apply the summaryState pattern to the index. Two additive columns on
InboundDocument (migration 0333) record when the last attempt finished
and why it produced no index, as a closed reason set: local-empty,
local-unsupported, decrypt-error, raster-failed, provider-error,
pdf-needs-anthropic, empty-transcription. The writer sits at the choke
point the auto job and the corpus backfill share, and in the manual
index route; a success clears the reason. The provider path's specific
failure now survives the local fallback, since "no text" is less
actionable than "the PDF would not render". rasterizePdf names its
failure class so a build that cannot rasterize at all is distinguished
from a PDF that would not render. New guard in both index paths: an
empty provider transcription never becomes a successful empty index.
The detail sheet renders the reason in plain words (muted, six
locales). The DTO and OpenAPI carry the two fields; the disaster
recovery backup and restore carry them verbatim like their summary
siblings.
Refs #776
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.
Register the three encrypted emergency columns in the rotation registry
and the key-rotation script so a legacy-key drop cannot strand them.
Carry all six new columns through the profile backup builder and restore
(the enums by value, the free text as ciphertext in a DR payload or
decrypted plaintext in a portable export) and extend the wire schema.
The full-backup round-trip integration test seeds the six columns and
asserts each survives an export and restore.
The visit stage's second half landed while this was in flight and both
touched the same three places. Resolved as one set: the link facade
carries the reverse document-to-visit direction and the new dose pair
side by side, the sharing literals hold both sets of admissions with the
count re-added on top, and the language bundles take the shorter module
description the trunk settled on.
- 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
- both models are backed up and claimed two-ended: an immunization
history has no other copy once the paper Pass has been transcribed
- the document link is wiped ahead of the dose, and the dose ahead of
the practitioner it points at with SetNull, so the audit row's
per-model counts stay truthful
- the dose note joins ENCRYPTED_COLUMNS and the rotation walk; the batch
code and the other structured columns stay queryable plaintext
Review of the visit work found the appointment arm leaking in both
directions: rows the visit routes could strand, and a reminder surface
that would act on one as though it were a checkup.
An edit could orphan a live reminder. Pointing a still-booked visit at
the checkup it closed walked the foreign key off the visit's own
reminder, and the next reschedule then minted a second one, because the
re-anchor path asked the key what the visit owned instead of asking the
engine. An orphan fires: the cron reads the reminder table, not the
visit list, so it pushed for an appointment nobody could see, edit or
cancel, and deleting the visit did not reach it. The edit arm now
refuses the contradiction the create arm already refused, ownership is
resolved through the relation, deletion retires the row it owns rather
than the row it points at, and a sweep at the end of every visit write
retires anything left armed that no visit claims -- so the state is
unreachable rather than merely unlikely.
The by-id reminder routes never excluded appointments, and that was the
larger hole. Marking one done committed the satisfy and THEN failed on
the mapper, so every appointment push a person acknowledged answered 500
after the write had landed. An edit could give a spent one-shot a
cadence and turn it into a permanent nudge that appears in no list, or
switch a cancelled one back on. The delete is a hard delete, so somebody
holding only the measurements domain could destroy a row belonging to a
visit in the health background. All five refuse in the lookup now -- an
appointment is not addressable there at all -- and the chat buttons that
mark a reminder done or postpone it refuse it the same way. Nor is an
appointment satisfied by a lab result: the auto-satisfy matcher used to
resolve any free-text reminder from any panel, which would have marked
next month's cardiology appointment attended.
A visit is a seam between four domains, and names were crossing it. The
values never did, but the title of a discharge letter is itself the
sensitive part, and a grant that opened only the health background was
never consent for it. Link labels and dates now follow the target's own
domain; the link is still listed, so a delegate learns the visit
produced a lab result without learning which analyte. Closing a checkup
follows the same rule: it re-anchors a preventive-care cadence, which is
a measurements write, so a health-background delegate files the visit
and the closure is reported as skipped rather than performed in silence.
Three smaller repairs. A checkup now closes at the visit's own instant
rather than at the moment it was typed in, which anchors a backdated
entry correctly and makes correcting a mis-filed visit the no-op it
should always have been. A window ending before today no longer widens
back out to today. And the fallback in a push notification was the raw
enum constant, so a lock screen could read a schema value; it reads the
record owner's own language now, in all six.
`MoodPrediction` holds the expected value of a day beside the day's own
rating: one row per account per local day, with a band and the number of
days the fit used. Two tables rather than four columns on the entry,
because the point of the second value is that the person cannot correct
it into agreement with the first — the distance between them is the
finding, and a value the edit form can write is not a second reading.
The table stays out of the disaster-recovery backup and the reason is
written where the completeness guard reads it: every row is recomputable
from the entries, the contexts and the linked modules, and carrying one
would restore a forecast made by a model version that may no longer
exist against data the restore has just moved. It is in the wipe plan,
because a derived row is still a day-by-day statement about somebody.
The write-surface guard lands red on purpose and names what is missing:
`lib/jobs/mood-prognosis-refresh.ts` does not exist yet, so the writer
set is empty where it should hold exactly that one file. The job closes
it. The rest of the guard is green now — no route, page or component
writes the table, and the matcher proves itself against a call broken
across lines, an aliased client, a read and a different model.
- the wipe plan names it before its parent, so the confirmation screen's count
is the number of rows that existed rather than zero
- the backup plan classifies it as carried and two-ended, and the round-trip
registry seeds one, which is what makes that claim provable
- the sharing surface admits the linked-day read with the reason it may answer
- CHANGELOG for the release
- the completeness guard now binds a third model, MoodContext, to a named
select; the four omitted columns each carry the reason the backup is right
to drop them
- the disaster-recovery arm carries the ciphertext, the portable arm the plain
text, and every other column rides in both
- the restore rebuilds the context after its entry, inside the same
transaction, and a file written before contexts existed restores without one
- the round trip asserts the restored row by value, zero included
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 backup select and the payload carry all five, on both the portable
and the disaster-recovery arm
- the restore writes what the file holds and nothing else: a file from
before these columns restores them empty rather than deriving them
- the CSV appends them after the existing columns so nothing shifts under
a spreadsheet, and an unanswered value is an empty cell rather than a
zero, which is a real answer on this scale
- the round trip asserts each of the five by value, including a zero
A lab runs its own method on its own device, so the window a physician
evaluates a value against is the one printed next to it on that report,
not a catalog band averaged over every lab. Reading a report pulled the
value and dropped that range: the extraction asked for it, the commit
handed it to the biomarker resolver, and the resolver only uses it when
it mints a NEW marker. For every analyte the user already had — the
normal case after a first panel — the printed range was read and then
thrown away.
Add `sourceReferenceLow` / `sourceReferenceHigh` / `sourceReferenceText`
to `LabResult` and carry the range from the report to the reading. The
text is stored whether or not numbers can be read out of it, because
"bis 5,0" and "negativ" state a window too; a range that could not be
parsed is kept verbatim, never replaced with invented bounds.
`resolveEffectiveReferenceRange` is the one place the precedence lives:
the source window wins for that single reading, and the catalog stays
the net for readings without one. A printed string with no derivable
bound does not displace the catalog. Every surface that judges a
reading routes through it — the API verdict, the doctor report, the
insights blocks and per-marker assessment, the coach snapshot, the MCP
read and the FHIR `referenceRange` — so a value cannot read in range on
one surface and out on another.
The API keeps `referenceLow` / `referenceHigh` as the window in force,
so a client that reads only those two renders the right range and the
right verdict with no change of its own; the catalog band, the source
window, its origin and a divergence flag ride alongside for clients
that want to show both.
Read side: the chart draws the source window as a second, visually
distinct band with the reading it came from named beneath it, the
reading rows name the printed range and the catalog band where the two
disagree, and the doctor-report PDF prints the report's own string with
a footnote naming the saved range. Entry side: one optional field on
the lab form, folded away until asked for, and the printed range is
editable on the scan review screen.
The range parser covers the notations German and English reports
actually print — two-sided, one-sided, comma or dot decimals, thousands
separators, trailing units — reads units without ever converting them,
and refuses to guess on anything ambiguous.
`moodEntrySchema` gains `note`, `noteEncrypted`, `tz`, `syncedAt`,
`syncVersion`, `createdAt`, `updatedAt` and `structuredTags`; every one of
them optional or defaulted, so a backup file written before this parses
unchanged and restores exactly as it did.
The restore writes them. The note follows the measurement pair: ciphertext
verbatim when the file carries it, a portable file's plaintext re-encrypted
on the way in, legacy column null either way. `tz` absent still means the
legacy Europe/Berlin reading, which is what those rows meant. `syncVersion`
comes back at the value the file recorded — restoring at the default handed
the next round to any paired device holding a higher number, and the device
would then overwrite the recovered entry with what it had.
The link rebuild re-creates both arms: rated factors from `factors`, ticked
tags from `structuredTags` with a NULL rating. An unresolvable tag key is
reported under its own `moodTag` family, beside the rated one, because an
operator needs to know which of the two an entry lost.
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.
