Five accounts, each writing its selection through the real PATCH route
and reading the flag back off the dashboard snapshot, the daily digest
and the derived-metric payload. Nothing is hand-built between the ends:
a builder that forgets to carry the field returns undefined and the
assertions fail.
The four negatives are the ways an account reaches the default
composition without having authored it, including one that kept every
pillar (hasSelection is true, the flag is not) and one that took out a
pillar its modules had already withdrawn. A sixth case walks the same
account through a save and an undo, so a value cached under a key that
does not include the recipe cannot pass.
The named failure now has a test that drives the whole chain a request
takes: fixture rows through the real reader, the real score record
write, the real dashboard snapshot, the real verdict rung, and the real
digest that gives the morning push its sentence. Only the IO around that
chain is faked. A version built on a hand-written snapshot literal would
have stayed green through a release where the assembly between the two
ends dropped the field, which has happened here before.
Every case runs twice on the same data. Once with the recipe changed
three days ago, once with it changed a month ago. The second run is what
proves the fixture really does produce an eleven-point fall, so the first
run's silence is the guard working rather than an account with nothing
to say. The decline is gradual on purpose: a cliff would raise each
pillar's own noise floor and the delta would be suppressed for a reason
that has nothing to do with the recipe.
Beside it, the boundary's edges, the notice key's two dimensions and the
seam's shape, each with a case proving the guard stays quiet on innocent
data. Against real Postgres, a row now has to come back carrying the
recipe version and change date the account's stored configuration
supplied.
A new user-scoped table is outside all three by default, and the two
structural guards said so the moment the model landed: the wipe plan and
the backup verdict list both named it as unclassified. It now joins the
wipe list, rides the backup payload as its own spread section, and comes
back through the restore route.
The classification guards only prove a helper exists in a declared file, so
they would pass an unreferenced restore helper. The integration round trip
goes through the real admin restore route instead, with the table emptied
first so a restore that carries nothing cannot pass by leaving what was
already there.
The grader returns the score and its basis together and the pillar builder
copies both across, and each of those ends already had its own test. Neither
sees what happens between them: the envelope hand-off, the reader's narrowing,
the pillar list, the JSON that finally goes out. A field can be produced
correctly, consumed correctly, and never reach anyone, which is exactly how a
payload field shipped earlier this month and carried nothing on the wire.
These tests read the assembled response and assert the basis that arrives, so a
future hand-picked key list on that path fails here rather than in someone's
browser.
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.
A cycle symptom can be recorded with a 1-4 intensity. The log-day sheet
writes it, the day-log reads it back, and the backup never carried it:
the file held the symptom keys and nothing else. Export a day recorded
as "cramps, and they were a 4", restore it, and you get "cramps". The
symptom is there, the number is gone, and nothing fails, which is why
nobody noticed.
The file now carries `symptomSeverities` alongside `symptomKeys` — one
entry per symptom that was actually rated. `symptomKeys` still decides
which symptoms a day had, so a release that only knows that field reads
every symptom out of a new file unchanged, and the two lists can never
disagree about presence. A link nobody rated is simply not listed: no
entry means never rated, which is not the same as rated zero.
A file written before this restores exactly as it did, with every
intensity absent rather than invented. An intensity outside 1-4, from a
hand-edited file or some later scale, costs that one number and leaves
the symptom and the rest of the restore alone.
Five assertions slept a fixed 100 ms and then read the audit ledger. The write is
fire-and-forget, so on a busy runner the read lands first and the assertion fails
with "expected [] to include 'consumed'" — which reads as a broken refusal when
the refusal worked and only its breadcrumb was still in flight. CI failed on
exactly that while nothing in the branch touches step-up or MFA.
Replaced with a poll that returns the moment the reason appears and, on timeout,
asserts against the real list so a genuine regression still says what WAS
written rather than reporting a bare timeout.
GET /api/nutrients now looks up the most recent nutrient.batch.ingest
audit row when the window is genuinely empty, and surfaces it as
lastAttempt only when that call landed nothing (inserted === 0 &&
updated === 0). A real success elsewhere is left alone, so an empty
window for an unrelated reason never gets reframed as a failure.
The lookup runs on the zero-rows path only, never on the happy path,
and stays counts-and-reason-codes only - no user-typed content, no
per-entry health values. The reason code never reaches the page as
text: each of the four closed skip reasons maps to its own human
sentence, and the two that have no useful action for the account
holder (unit_mismatch, upsert_failed) say plainly that the entries
couldn't be stored rather than inventing advice. day_invalid is the
one case worth naming a real cause for - a clock or time zone mismatch
on the sending side - without claiming it was a phone, since any
token holder can call this route.
This depends on AuditLog retention: cleanupOldAuditLogs prunes rows
past 365 days by default, so a dormant account's last failed attempt
can age out and the explanation silently reverts to the plain empty
state. Documented at the lookup for whoever next touches that job.
nutrient.batch.ingest only reached the durable AuditLog table when
inserted + updated > 0, so a batch where every entry was rejected
(unit mismatch, out-of-range value, invalid day, a write failure) left
the exact same empty trail as a phone that never called the endpoint
at all. That made an empty nutrient_intake_days table unanswerable
from the durable record - the question this surface exists to answer.
Record the call unconditionally, the same shape measurement.batch.ingest
and workout.batch.ingest already use (counts only, no per-entry health
values, no user-typed content), plus an aggregate skip-reason breakdown
so an operator can tell, from the row alone, that the phone posted and
why nothing landed.
HTTP status and the per-entry response shape are unchanged - a batch
endpoint returning 200 with per-entry outcomes on a partial failure is
the correct, documented contract and native clients already decode it.
- execute the operator CLI against real PostgreSQL credential tables
- require complete target revocation and unrelated-admin isolation
- force a mid-transaction database failure to prove rollback
- require fresh existing-factor proof on both cookie-only legs
- bind registration challenges to user, purpose, session, expiry and one use
- cover bearer, ambient-cookie, stale, foreign and replay attacks
Both ends of this defect had passing tests for the whole time it was broken.
The section builder returned the symptoms, the wire schema declared them, the
restore read them, and each of those three was covered on its own. Nothing
covered the object literal in between, which copied section keys out one at a
time and never listed `customSymptoms`.
So the test spans the seam and asserts on rows. It populates an account with a
symptom of its own on a day-log, builds the file through the real
`buildFullBackupPayload`, serialises it, parses it back through the real
`parseBackupPayload`, and drives the real admin restore. Asserting that the
payload carries the field would only re-test the writer that was already green.
Deleting the symptom row before the restore is the case the field exists for,
not a contrivance: `restoreCycleData` clears day-logs, cycles, and the profile
but never the symptom catalogue, so a restore onto the same instance still
finds the row sitting there. That is why the older round-trip test stayed green
through the whole thing.
Mutation check: hand-pick the cycle section's keys again and the restore
answers 500 on `Unknown cycle symptom keys: custom:sacroiliac-ache`, which is
the production failure verbatim.
Covers what the required parameters now make impossible to forget: the
scorer takes the band whole and never widens it, a missing target scores
the bare trend, the resolved yardstick rides the weight component, the
shared builder refuses the reference band that sits under an override,
the snapshot gates its mood pillar on the module map, an explicit target
reaches both the score and the dashboard bands, and weight/BMI record
direction follows the user's own goal.
F1 adds the golden the score has never had: the rollup read branch and
the live read branch scored against one series encoded both ways. On the
canonical one-weigh-in-a-day cadence they agree exactly. On an uneven
cadence they part company, and the test pins that the whole difference is
the per-day mean collapse - the rollup branch equals the live branch fed
those same daily means - with a companion assertion proving the fixture
is not a no-op.
A migration container starts empty, so applying 0281 there proves the
statements parse and nothing else — the backfill's WHERE matches no rows and a
broken expression passes green. Every self-hoster runs it against rows that do
carry a leg, and those are the only rows it exists for.
Seed the pre-migration shape, run the migration's own UPDATE read out of the
committed file, and assert an attributed row comes out still knowing which leg
broke, an unattributed one is left alone, and a second run does not nest the
array.
The batch route has accepted a `syncTrigger` since v1.32.8 and put it on the
wide event, where no human reads it. Half of what was promised got built: the
value is written and appears in three places in the codebase, none of which is
a screen anyone looks at.
Persist it on the account, alongside the instant of the most recent batch that
arrived without the app being opened, and publish both from
`GET /api/integrations/healthkit`. The card now names how the last sync arrived
and when data last came in on its own. `healthKitLastSyncedAt` alone reads
identically whether the phone delivers by itself or only while someone has the
app open, which is why "is background delivery working" could not be settled
from either side.
A batch that declares no trigger writes null rather than leaving the previous
one standing — the field describes this sync, and an older client's silence is
not evidence about it. A foreground batch leaves the background timestamp
alone; overwriting it would erase the only answer the card has.
Also here: WHOOP, Fitbit and Google Health join the workout-freshness table.
All three write workouts, and without an entry their cards could report every
measurement type fresh while the workout leg had been silent for weeks. And the
status pill drops a generic `aria-label` that replaced its own accessible name,
so a screen reader announced the same words for a healthy connection as for a
broken one.
The unit suite mocks Prisma, so it proves the discriminant and nothing about the
query underneath it — a wrong column would have left every test green and every
account answering no_data_unconfirmed in production. Seeds the reported case and
the four other shapes: an empty record, another account's rows, tombstoned rows,
and a history that mixes units.
Rounds the out-of-window mean to one decimal, like every other mean the snapshot
surfaces, and annotates a failed manifest probe rather than letting it degrade in
silence.
The comparison now includes `updated_at`, so a second application that
rewrites an already-correct row is visible even when the value it writes is
identical. Without it the assertion passed whether or not the guard that
skips untouched rows was there.
The first pass of migration 0276 restored the rows the in-use clock had
already flipped, but every clock-less container still IN_USE carried the same
clock-derived `expires_at`, most of them with the deadline still ahead. The
daily expire scan would have worked through them over the following weeks and
reproduced the whole defect one row at a time.
A clock-less container's `expires_at` is now set from its printed expiry —
usually nothing, which is how it stays out of that scan. Pens and ampoules
keep theirs; their clock is real.
Migration 0276 reverses the rows that reached EXPIRED only through the
post-opening clock on a container that never had one. It moves a row back to
IN_USE when an opening date is recorded and ACTIVE when none is, and sets
`expires_at` from the printed expiry — which for these rows is usually
nothing at all, because they recorded none.
The predicate is exact rather than approximate: nothing but the printed
expiry and the in-use clock can write EXPIRED, so a clock-less container
whose printed expiry is absent or still ahead can only have got there through
the clock. Pens and ampoules keep their EXPIRED, so does anything whose
printed date genuinely lapsed, and so does a drained container. No date is
invented and no printed expiry is fabricated.
The integration test seeds the before-state, applies the migration SQL from
disk, and asserts both what moves and what stays — the testcontainer starts
empty, so the migration running at boot proves nothing on its own.
The seven documented statuses are four kinds of thing, so they get four
rulings instead of one.
Taken and Skipped state a decision about a dose and each maps onto something
already recorded here — a row with a take time, and a row marked skipped. That
second mapping was checked rather than assumed: skipped is documented as a
deliberate skip and held apart from autoMissed, which is the marker for a dose
nobody ever acted on, and the compliance re-fold counts a skipped slot in its
own column and never as taken. So a deliberate skip arrives as one.
Not Interacted, Not Logged and Unspecified are absences rather than
statements. Written as taken they would invent a dose; written as skipped they
would invent a decision, because not answering a notification is not choosing
not to take something; written as pending they would put outstanding doses
from years ago in front of someone today. Snoozed describes what happened to a
reminder. Notification Not Sent is about the software. None of the five
becomes a row.
All five are refused, but each under its own name, because "the file says
nothing about this dose" and "this row is about a reminder" are different
things and a person acts on them differently. Three reasons where there was
one, each with its own sentence in six locales.
An inactive medication's history imports and the medication stays inactive.
Preserving what happened and putting a medication back on the active list are
two acts, and only the first belongs to an import.
The fixture is the export a self-hoster attached, de-identified as it
arrived: 3,395 rows, sixteen medications, three and a half years, two UTC
offsets, three statuses, two units, blank cells in four columns. A
hand-built fixture would have carried one status and one offset and proved
nothing about the file that prompted the work.
The integration pass runs it through the real derivation into a real
Postgres, because the claim is about rows: 3,387 land, 8 are refused because
the file records no decision about them, and imported plus refused equals
every row read. 2,799 of the doses were taken after they were due, which is
the fact that survives only because the scheduled slot and the take are two
columns.
Structural cover so the verdicts cannot rot: every column of both shapes has
exactly one ruling, and every parse-time refusal is spelled the same as a job
skip reason — a reason that exists in only one vocabulary renders as "reason
not recorded", which is a refusal nobody can act on.
The intake importer took a hand-written list of dates and times for one
medication. A self-hoster with a ten-column export covering sixteen
medications and years of history was left translating it by hand, which is
where the scheduled time and the time a dose was actually taken get
flattened into one — the distinction the record wants most.
The export keeps them as two columns, so read the file's own shape.
`MedicationIntakeEvent` already models that pair as `scheduledFor` +
`takenAt`; an imported dose now populates both instead of anchoring itself
on the take. `Skipped` becomes a deliberate skip with no take time, which is
how every other skip path writes it. A dose whose actual amount differs from
the amount the schedule expected carries the difference as a per-dose
override; an unremarkable amount stays absent, which is what absent means
there.
Timestamps carry their own UTC offset (`+1030` and `+0930` on adjacent rows
of one file) and it is read literally: the epoch is computed from the stated
offset rather than handed to the platform's lenient date parser, and a value
without an offset is refused instead of assumed to be the server's zone.
An export covers a whole regimen, so the job is account-wide and each
payload entry names its own medication — migration 0276 widens
`medication_intake_import_jobs.medication_id` to nullable for it. The
per-medication route is unchanged and keeps naming its medication on the job
row. A medication is never created from an import file; unmatched names come
back verbatim so they can be added properly and the file re-run.
Every column gets a verdict, and `?dryRun=1` returns the whole one before
anything is written.
The intake import built its replay key from the row's optional `zaehler`
field. That reads as a per-row counter — the documented example showed one —
but nothing required it to be unique and nothing checked. A reported export
carried the dose quantity there instead: 1 tablet, on all 28 rows. Every entry
queued under the same key, one dose reached the ledger, and the other 27 came
back reported as duplicates of a dose they had nothing to do with.
The key is the instant now, and `zaehler` is out of the contract rather than
accepted-and-ignored. Nothing is lost by dropping it: the live-row unique on
`(user_id, medication_id, scheduled_for, source)` already makes an imported
dose unique per instant, so a re-import of a file first imported under the old
key still dedups.
The telling is the other half. Two different facts were counted as one number:
entries of a submission that collide with each other, and doses the ledger
already holds. They are separate reasons now, grouped with a count, and the
dialog renders them through the same classifier and the same outcome line as
the CSV and JSON import cards — so an import that wrote nothing can no longer
answer in success tone. That rule shipped for the settings import panel and
this surface was not part of it; the guard now lists every import surface by
path, so a fourth one has to be added deliberately. `skippedInvalid` is gone:
it was hardcoded to zero on every path and reported a capability the importer
never had.
Alongside it, the other half of the environment report — a scheduled job that
fails every run has to say so. `recordError()` increments one unnamed counter,
so the admin status page could show a number and not which queue produced it,
and the module's own screen showed a zero day count with nothing to
distinguish "nothing stored yet" from "every run failed". pg-boss has held the
answer the whole time: a job that exhausts its retries keeps its queue name,
its error and its timestamp. The admin status now names the failing queues
with counts and the last error, the environment overview reports its own
account's failed runs, and neither needed a change at any of the thirty
`recordError()` call sites — a visibility fix that has to be remembered per
call site is the same failure one level up.

Migration 0217 created the type as `environment_location_source`; the
datamodel declared `EnvironmentLocationSource` with no `@@map`, so the client
compiled every write against `public."EnvironmentLocationSource"`. Postgres
answered 42704, the upsert rolled the transaction back, and the module sat at
"0 days recorded" from the day it shipped — one enum out of forty-nine, and the
only one without a map.
No migration follows. `prisma migrate diff` against a database built from the
committed migrations reports the enum rename and the `environment_contexts.source`
column rebuild before the map and nothing after it: the database was never the
side that drifted, and renaming a live type to match a datamodel typo would be
the wrong direction.
Two guards, because the two questions are different. The unit guard replays
CREATE TYPE / ALTER TYPE RENAME / DROP TYPE across the migration set and holds
every enum to a type that survives it. The integration guard compares all three
name classes Prisma emits — enum type, table, column — against a real migrated
Postgres, which is the only place a name mismatch is observable at all: it
survives generation, typecheck, and every mocked test untouched.
Refs #646
A sync failure the classifier bucketed as `transient` had no exit. The park
test read `kind === "persistent"` and the persistent streak anchor was only
ever stamped by a persistent failure, so a streak could run for a thousand
attempts with the persistent counter at zero, the state frozen at
`error_transient`, and no ladder it could climb. `transient` is a hypothesis
about retryability, and the classifier defaults every timeout, 429, 5xx and
unrecognised response to it precisely because the wire cannot tell a reboot
from a permanent break. That default is right for one attempt and wrong for a
thousand: an unbroken streak retried hourly for a full day has refuted it by
experiment. Record it as `persistent` from there, which feeds the park ladder
that already exists — 48 h of unbroken failure end to end before an
integration stops attempting.
The counters could not accumulate anyway. `IntegrationStatus` is keyed
(user, integration) while Withings runs four legs on four crons and WHOOP four
resources on four more, and a success cleared the error, every bucket, the
streak anchor and the state whatever leg had recorded them. The ECG tick at
:41 wiped what the sleep tick recorded at :15 — including a reauth park — so
the strike ladder was reset several times an hour and the card painted a green
"connected · 12 minutes ago" over a data class that had stopped arriving. A
success now clears only what it is entitled to clear.
Two columns carry it: `failing_since_at` dates the streak, `failing_leg` names
its owner. The migration backfills the anchor for rows already in an error
state so a connection broken for weeks escalates on its next attempt rather
than restarting its clock.
