Oura's current authorization server enforces scopes per collection.
daily_spo2 needs spo2; vO2_max, daily_cardiovascular_age and
daily_resilience need heart_health. The authorize request now asks for
both.
A grant issued before keeps answering 401 on those four collections
while every other one succeeds. Such a 401 next to a success is now
recorded as a scope gap rather than a failure: it no longer counts
toward the reconnect threshold, it no longer forces a token refresh once
known, and the Oura card asks for one reconnect instead. The Withings
card names the readings the account's API plan withholds.
A background job fetches air quality, pollen and UV for every earlier
local day with a reading, mood entry, dose, symptom or workout: after the
update (boot and nightly discovery), when the home is set and when air
quality is switched on. A day with a weather row gets its air quality; a
day without one gets both, at the covering location period or else at the
home, also before the home was set. Days the source does not reach (before
2013 in Europe, before August 2022 elsewhere) stay empty and are not
counted.
Pending days are grouped by coarse location and cut into ranges of up to
90 days, joining days at most 14 apart, newest first. A run holds itself to
300 of the account's 400 daily calls and half of each instance window,
stores its progress on the user (migration 0391) and sends a follow-up while
it makes progress; a budget stop waits for the next discovery. The
Location & weather card shows the progress.
The air-quality client now asks pollen and dust from 2021 and skips the
request outside Europe before CAMS global starts.
The daily-mean consolidation and the dense hourly fold cut at
`now - threshold` instead of a local day boundary. A day was folded in two
runs and the second run overwrote the stored mean with the mean of the
later part alone: every mean-type day, and the boundary hour of every
heart-rate, HRV and SpO2 day, plus the derived resting figure and the DAY
rollup of such a day. The Health Connect importer split its raw window at
the same unaligned instant.
- Fold up to the start of the account's local day the threshold ends in
(`foldBoundary`), for every consolidation pass and the Health Connect
importer's raw/hourly split.
- A window that already has a live `stats:` row is refolded from every
sample of it, live rows plus the fold's own tombstones; with none left
the stored mean stays.
- `folded_window` refuses a raw sample only when its local day lies before
the aligned boundary and a live `stats:` row of its source covers it,
also within reach of the sample after a timezone change.
- A deletion inside a day the fold had not finished is class B.
- Add a one-time, resumable fold repair per account that recomputes each
hourly and daily mean from its remaining samples and writes only values
that differ, recorded in `measurement_fold_repairs` (migration 0389).
- The compaction-tombstone purge waits for the repair per account, and the
boot sends no purge run before one account is repaired.
- The restore keys live `stats:` ids by source, and writes compaction
tombstones back from a file older than the account's repair, resetting
the repair.
The wrench beside Upload opens Settings, Appearance, Documents, the way
the illness journal offers its display options: preview cards or a
compact list, and months stacked as blocks or flowing across the full
width with the month name inline above the document that opens it. The
choice is stored per account in `users.documents_layout_json` behind
GET/PUT /api/documents/inbound/layout (preserve-when-absent, module
gated, the read delegable like the rest of the vault), carried in the
account-settings backup and cleared by the data wipe.
Deleting from the vault now always asks first. The bulk bar's Delete and
a focused card's Delete key both go through one confirmation on the page,
and the detail sheet's Delete opens its own; before, all three deleted on
the spot with only an undo toast behind them.
The selection bar is two tight lines: the count with an X at its right
edge, then one action row with Delete alone at the right in the
destructive style. Below 1024 px the verbs are icon-only at the 44 px tap
floor, so the row stays one line at 360 px. The bar carries the
selection-bar slot the Coach launcher already steps aside for.
Land every file the day view, the timeline and life events share before
any of them is built, so the server, the day view and the timeline can be
built side by side without editing the same file (#613).
Schema and migration 0387: LifeEvent with a short category list, calendar
start and end dates, a day/month/year precision, encrypted title and note,
a soft-delete tombstone and an index for the per-user live list. Every new
column is annotated for the column-reader sweep. Life events travel in both
backup purposes with their two ends in one file, are wiped with the
account, and are registered for key rotation.
src/lib/day/contract.ts carries the constants and wire types for
GET /api/day/{date}, /api/day/index, /api/timeline, /api/timeline/readiness
and the life-event routes, free of Zod so the navigation chrome can import
it; the schemas beside it feed the routes and the published contract. The
Coach and MCP tool name get_day is reserved there, and life events are
listed as the one section no model ever sees.
The opt-in timeline module, its navigation entry, the day-section and
timeline-lane surfaces, the day and timeline query keys (evicted by every
record data bundle), and stub routes that answer 501 behind their
admissions. The four cross-section reads declare the whole record for now;
the life-event list is a profile read, and life events join the profile
sharing domain and its consent copy in all seven locales. The day,
timeline and lifeEvents message namespaces carry their base copy as
release-pending keys.
The aggregate bundle cap moves to 4400: the branch already measured 4365
against 4335, and the new copy adds 10 KB.
A dose can now name a vaccine the catalogue does not list. The person
defines it once (a name, the diseases it protects against from the
catalogue's antigen list, the series length and the booster interval) and
logs doses against it; such a dose counts into each listed antigen's
series, settles a booster reminder keyed to one of them and offers a
booster, the way a catalogue combination does.
One resolver (resolve-vaccine-entry.ts) now answers for every consumer
that asked the catalogue directly: the series, the satisfy matcher, the
booster mint, the dose DTO, the doctor report, document links, the
upload suggestion, MCP search and the client's info sentences and
booster offer. The catalogue wins when a dose carries both.
The custom routes resolve the record through requireRecordAuth (list at
READ, create at WRITE with the actor-keyed write bucket, edit and remove
at MANAGE with the C4 overwrite audit) and join the sharing guard, the
MANAGE matrix and the activity feed. Removing a definition tombstones it
and lets go of its doses, each keeping a name. Definitions travel in the
backup and restore before the doses that name them; the dose form picks
them, adds one without leaving the form, and the page lists them for
editing. With the last contract stub implemented, the 501 helper and the
not_implemented code leave the tree.
Land every file the v1.42 work shares before any of it is built, so the
parts built side by side never edit the same file.
Schema and migrations 0379-0386: the HEALTH_CONNECT measurement source,
ImportJob.kind, the air-quality columns and the per-user switch on the
environment tables, sealed environment locations with nullable plaintext,
managed-profile handover links, the per-type HealthKit arrival ledger, lab
unit-conversion provenance, and user-defined vaccines. Every new column is
annotated for the column-reader sweep.
HEALTH_CONNECT reaches every exhaustive list: the source labels, the
read enum (not the write allowlist), the source-priority ladder cap, now
the number of sources rather than a fixed eight, and the write-path smoke
test. RMSSD gets its own priority class and a 300 ms ceiling. The batch
syncTrigger gains `manual`, with its label on the Apple Health card.
Queues for the Health Connect import, the compaction-tombstone purge and
the measurement-table maintenance are registered with stub handlers;
host-metric sampling moves to every five minutes. Environment and work_mem
variables reach the compose whitelist, the production example and the
manifest. The proxy admits the handover link and redirects it at the edge,
and the Health Connect upload bypasses the proxy body limit.
The new routes answer 501 behind their final authentication and are
published in the contract; backup, wipe and key rotation classify the new
models and columns; the seven message bundles carry the base copy. Guards
that list release-pending keys and columns fail once an entry is wired, so
those lists empty themselves before the tag.
Also re-anchor a login-throttle fixture to the wall clock, where its
expiry is compared, and re-base the aggregate bundle cap on a measured
12 KB of new locale strings.
A document whose preview render fails for good (a PDF whose first page
renders blank) was queued by the boot-time backfill, refused, and queued
again at the next boot, without end.
The thumbnail job now keeps the failure with the document
(document_thumbnail_failures, migration 0374): the reason, the attempts
since the last success and when the newest failed. The backfill, both the
boot discovery and the per-account pass, leaves a document out after one
deterministic refusal (raster-failed, empty-render, pixel-cap) or three of
any other kind, until the document changes. A direct enqueue still renders
it, and a preview that is made clears the record.
A weekly or nightly backup job whose process died (a restart, a
container out of memory) stayed active until its two- or four-hour
expiry, and its retry walked the accounts in the same order: the account
that killed it has the oldest copy, so it led again, and every account
after it went without a copy for as long as that record stayed too
large.
Both passes now send with a five-minute pg-boss heartbeat, so a dead run
fails within minutes and its retry picks it up. Each pass records when it
started and finished every account (backup_pass_attempts, migration
0373); an account whose last attempt never finished goes behind all the
others. The backups page shows when the run in progress started and names
an account a run died under, for the weekly and the off-host card, and a
heartbeat timeout reads as what it means.
A medication taken now and then (#1024) keeps one row and gains course
rows: calendar spans, both ends inclusive, an optional encrypted note, no
schedule or dose of their own. Courses never overlap and every course but
the latest has ended, so the latest course is always the one the
medication's startsOn/endsOn project. src/lib/medications/courses.ts is
the only writer of those two columns for a medication with courses; it
writes under a per-medication advisory lock and re-projects in the same
transaction, so reminders, the next-due line and intakeActionable keep
reading the columns and stay right.
- Migration 0368 adds medication_courses and backfills one course per
medication window (an end-only window starts on the creation day, or
on its end day when that lies earlier); a medication without a window
stays course-less. Idempotent, data-preserving.
- GET/POST /api/medications/{id}/courses and PATCH/DELETE
.../courses/{courseId} (owner-only); create seeds the first course
from a window; the medication PUT edits the latest course and refuses
a window that would break the rules (medications.course.*).
- List, detail, create and update carry courses, courseCount,
previousCourseEndedOn and canStartCourse, resolved on the server.
- Compliance expands over the span of all courses and drops the slots
between them; every compliance read selects the courses. A rolling
cadence is not anchored by an intake from a previous course.
- The card names the last course's end and the running course's number;
the detail Lifecycle group lists the courses with start, edit and
delete. The Coach compliance block, the MCP resource, the doctor
report window and table, the clinician view and FHIR (one
MedicationStatement per course with effectivePeriod and status) read
the courses.
- Backup carries courses per medication and the restore writes them and
re-projects; an older file derives the one course its window
describes. Wipe plan, encrypted columns, rotation and OpenAPI follow.
A medication can be filed under a category the person named, next to the
built-in ones (#1041). The labels live in medication_category_labels,
encrypted at rest, capped at 20 per account; a medication filed under one
carries its custom:<uuid> key in the category column.
- GET/POST /api/medications/categories (POST idempotent, 30/min per actor,
admitted at MANAGE like the cycle symptom vocabulary) and owner-only
PATCH/DELETE /api/medications/categories/{key}. DELETE moves every
medication filed under the category to OTHER in the same transaction
and answers movedCount.
- category is widened to a built-in value or custom:<uuid> on the wire,
the create and update bodies refuse a key that is not the caller's
(422 medications.category.unknown), and list, detail, the insights
medication tiles and the MCP medications resource carry categoryLabel.
A key with no owned label reads as OTHER and is counted on the event.
- The wizard's class step lists the person's categories under the
built-in rows with an inline add row; the list page gains a category
filter (session only) and a manage sheet for rename, hide and delete.
- Backup carries customMedicationCategories (decrypted labels) and the
restore writes them before the medications; wipe plan, encrypted
column registry, rotation script, sharing guards and OpenAPI follow.
A symptom of one's own ("aura", "headache") is a definition with an
encrypted name and an icon from the cycle custom-symptom allowlist; each
occurrence carries a time, a 0-10 intensity (the pain score's scale), an
optional encrypted note and an optional link to one of the record's open
illness episodes. Both ride the illness module: every route answers
illness.disabled when it is off.
- Migration 0369 (idempotent): symptom_definitions and symptom_events,
intensity CHECK 0-10, episode link ON DELETE SET NULL.
- /api/symptoms/definitions{,/[id]} and /api/symptoms/events{,/[id]}:
eight active definitions per record (a hidden one frees its slot,
showing it again re-checks), hide or purge, events create/list/edit/
delete, a new link must name an open episode of the same record
(422 symptoms.episode.notOpen). Error group symptoms.*.
- Sharing: reads at READ, logging an occurrence at WRITE, defining and
editing at MANAGE; C1/C3/C4 audit details; frozen lists, the handler
matrix and the activity verbs updated.
- Both encrypted columns registered and rotated; both models in the wipe
plan; both carried at both backup ends with occurrences nested in their
definition, plaintext in a portable file and ciphertext in a recovery
file, and a link to an episode the file lacks dropped and named
(symptomEpisodeReference).
- OpenAPI regenerated.
The clinical category lived in a side table the app created at runtime,
after migration 0004 had dropped it as orphaned. It is now the
MedicationCategoryAssignment model. Migration 0368 creates the table
IF NOT EXISTS with the runtime DDL, so an existing table converges with
its rows untouched (verified with prisma migrate diff against a database
holding the runtime table and against a fresh one).
The helpers keep their names and run on the Prisma delegate; the runtime
CREATE TABLE and the pre-transaction ensure call in the restore are gone.
The backup plan judges the table as a schema model (backed up, two-ended,
seeded in the round trip) instead of under RAW_SQL_TABLES, which is now
empty; its guard proves its matcher on a fixture string instead.
"Read with AI" and the lab scan used to run their model calls inside the
request. At the default response time a read of three calls outlasted the
100 s a proxy in front of the server commonly allows, and the person saw a
cut connection for a read the server was still doing.
Both now run as a background run (`DocumentAiRun`, migration 0366):
- `POST /api/documents/inbound/{id}/index` with `Prefer: respond-async`
answers 202 with a run id once every quick refusal has passed. Without
the header it answers exactly as before, which the iPhone app relies on.
A second request while a read of the same document is queued or running
attaches to that run.
- `POST /api/labs/ocr/extract` always answers 202. Only the web client
calls it.
- `GET /api/ai-runs/{id}` serves the run: the same body the synchronous
route answers with, or the failure code and status it would have given.
Scoped to the caller; another account's run is a 404.
The worker (`document-ai-run`, a long queue with a one-hour expiry, one
job per run under `lockedPass`) claims the run, asks the capability again
for the record and re-checks the wire for the provider it picks, sets the
run's deadline from the person's AI response time and refuses a read that
cannot fit the job's expiry. Sync route and worker run one body per kind,
so the two paths cannot drift. Budget is reserved at enqueue and settled
once by whoever ends the run.
Input and result are sealed with labelled AES-256-GCM, registered for key
rotation; the input is dropped when the run ends. A five-minute reaper
fails a run no worker took within fifteen minutes (and hands its
reservation back), fails a run past its deadline, and deletes a finished
run after an hour. Runs are outside backups and inside the data wipe.
The web client polls through the query-key factory and says, calmly, that
the read continues in the background, and when no worker has picked it up.
The insight claim row is now the daily-cap ledger. Its workout_id is
nullable with ON DELETE SET NULL (migration 0367), so deleting a workout
no longer frees the day's slot. The cap counts claims that reached the
provider plus live leases, and drops the separate count of insight rows.
A daily workout-insight-claim-cleanup queue removes claim rows untouched
for seven days.
Fill every User column on the source account, export through the streaming
writer, recreate the account with credentials of its own, restore through the
route, and compare: each setting column must come back with the value it left
with, and every identity, credential and bookkeeping column must still hold
the target's value. The section in the file is checked to carry nothing but
setting columns.
Every column of the account row now has a backup verdict in
USER_COLUMN_BACKUP_CLASS: SETTING, CREDENTIAL, IDENTITY or OPERATIONAL. A
schema-derived guard fails on an unclassified column, and the setting columns
each get a codec in account-settings-backup.ts, so a column classified as a
setting without a way to travel does not compile.
The restore end checks each value the way the settings route that writes it
does: AI endpoints against this host's private-origin policy, languages, units
and time zones against the known vocabularies, threshold bands against their
bounds, the avatar against the upload's sniff and limits. A refused value is
left out and named; credentials, identity and the host's own cursors are never
admitted.
The clinical category a person picks for a medication lives in a side table
created at runtime, outside the schema. The backup builder and the restore
only walk schema models, so no backup ever carried it: after a restore every
medication read as "Other".
Both backup formats now carry the category inside its medication, and the
restore writes it back in the same transaction as the medication. A file
from before this change restores as before; a category this server does not
know reads as Other instead of refusing the file.
The backup plan gains a list for tables created with raw SQL, and a check
that every such table in the source either maps to a schema model or has a
verdict there, so the next one cannot drop out of backups unnoticed.
A person stores one connection per system (base address, Papra
organization id, API token encrypted at rest) and can search it by
document name with tag and date filters, then import picked documents
one per request through the same ingest path as an upload: source-key
answer before any download, content dedup, deleted stays deleted, quota,
provenance, and the person's own AI reading setting. An import can link
the document to the visit, condition or vaccination it was picked for.
The operator lists the instances in DOCUMENT_SOURCE_ORIGINS; unset, the
feature is off. Only listed origins are contacted, through safeFetch with
the origin pinned, redirects refused, timeouts and byte caps. The routes
are cookie-only and owner-only. The token is registered for rotation,
removed by Delete all data, and not carried in backups.
A stored backup was one value in data_backups.data. v1.39.1 wrote it a
piece at a time but still joined the pieces into that one value, and one
value has to pass through the app whole, so a copy was capped at a fifth of
the heap: 105 MB in the default 1 GB container. An account with 1.75
million readings is past that and could not be backed up at all (#1031).
A copy is now kept as ordered pieces of about a megabyte in the new
data_backup_chunks table (migration 0352). Each piece is sealed on its own
with AES-256-GCM, and its sealed header names the copy (a random stream id
kept on the row), its position and whether it is the last. A reader checks
every piece before it releases a byte, so a piece that is missing, moved,
altered, taken from another copy, or a copy cut short is refused with
backup.payload.undecryptable before a restore deletes anything, and the
second read during the restore checks each piece again.
The write is one transaction, so the previous copy stays whole and readable
until the new one commits. Pieces are written through the model API: a raw
query with a large parameter is kept alive by Prisma's query plan cache,
which left 160 MB of heap behind per hundred one-megabyte inserts.
Restore, preview, download, the restore job and the admin list read both
forms; copies written before this change keep their single value and still
restore. The heap-derived limit is gone. The one limit left is on storage,
BACKUP_MAX_STORED_MB (default 2048), and its message names the setting. Key
rotation covers the pieces, the wipe and account deletion take them with
their backup, and the backup plan lists the table as not carried.
Measured on an account of 2.6 million readings in a 1 GB container with web
and worker in one process: backup 87 s, 97 MiB in 96 pieces, preview 20 s,
download 25 s, restore 264 s with every reading back exactly, peak 567 MiB,
no restart.
A keyed upload that matched a stored document by its bytes never recorded
its key, so deleting that document let the next import run store it again.
Such keys are now kept as aliases of the document, the source-key check
reads them, and the purge carries them into the ledger with the row's own.
A source key may ride the query string and is then answered before the
body is read or the hourly allowance charged; an upload answered as a
duplicate hands its slot back. GET /api/documents/inbound/source answers
whether a key is held, under the same documents:write scope, so an
importer can skip a download.
aiRead=defer is stored on the row. The summary catch-up, the summary job
and lab auto-staging skip such documents until an explicit Read with AI
or Generate summary clears the marker; backup and restore carry it.
A documents:write caller no longer sees the quota figures on a full vault.
Refs #1038
A narrow `documents:write` token, minted cookie-only at
`POST /api/tokens/documents` and accepted by the vault upload route alone.
A scoped caller draws on its own hourly bucket per token
(`DOCUMENT_UPLOAD_LIMIT_PER_HOUR`, default 120) and gets a receipt
`{ id, duplicate }` instead of the stored row.
Uploads take optional `sourceSystem` / `sourceId` fields. The source key is
unique per account across live and deleted documents, and the tombstone
purge carries it to a small ledger, so re-sending a document the owner
deleted answers 200 `deleted: true` and stores nothing. `aiRead=defer`
indexes locally and skips the summary and lab staging.
The detail sheet shows where an imported document came from; backup and
restore carry both fields; Delete All Data clears the ledger.
Refs #1038, #938
Restoring a large account was one request: 94 s for 1.25 million readings.
A reverse proxy that cuts a request at 60 s (nginx's default) showed the
operator an error for a restore that went on to finish on the server.
The restore request now checks the typed confirmation, that the backup
exists and that its stored copy opens, admits one job for the account and
answers 202 with its id. The `backup-restore` queue runs the restore and
records its phase, counts and outcome on a `backup_restore_jobs` row
(migration 0347), which `GET /api/admin/backups/restores` and
`GET /api/admin/backups/restores/{id}` read back.
What a restore checks and writes is unchanged. The body moved from the
route into `restoreBackup` (src/lib/export/restore-backup.ts): every
refusal still happens before the first delete and the replacement is still
one transaction, so a failure part-way leaves the account as it was. While
it runs the account keeps showing its current data, and other writes are
neither refused nor held, as before.
- One restore per account: a partial unique index admits one queued or
running job, and a second request gets 409 `backup.restore.active` naming
the running job. A per-account advisory lock inside the transaction holds
even if a worker thought gone is still writing.
- Time budget: the job's expiry is two hours and a file whose transaction
limit would run past three quarters of it is refused before anything is
deleted (`jobDeadline`, beside `jobBudget`).
- Resuming: the job writes a heartbeat every two seconds. A boot sweep
queues a job whose worker stopped again from the start, at most twice,
then fails it as interrupted. The admission check releases an abandoned
job so it never holds the account's slot.
- The staged file is the stored `DataBackup` row, already encrypted at
rest. It stays whatever the outcome, so a retry needs no new upload. The
job records a digest of the copy and refuses one that was replaced while
it waited.
- Failures carry a stable code and a sentence that says what to do.
- The console follows the job: phase and counts while it runs, the outcome
after, and after a reload it finds the job again from the server. A poll
that fails on the network is never shown as a failed restore. A web
process separate from the worker evicts the account's caches when it
first reports the restore finished. The success line goes through the
outcome module, so an empty file is not drawn as a tick.
The model is registered in the backup plan (not carried) and the wipe plan
(wiped with the account); the queue in the maintenance registrar, the
subsystem surface and the job-fact allowlist; the new code in the error
catalogue; the routes in the OpenAPI contract. The tests that pin restore
semantics now drive the real route and the real job through one helper, and
`backup-restore-job.test.ts` pins the asynchronous contract itself.
Status notes (the per-metric text a model writes) move out of audit_logs
into InsightStatusCache: one row per user, metric and locale, the note
encrypted at rest, upserted in place, with the input and snapshot
fingerprints and a separate negative-cache window.
Migration 0344 creates the table and deletes every audit_logs row whose
action matches insights.%-status.%. The notes are a regenerable cache and
the old rows are plaintext, so nothing is copied; the first nightly run
after the upgrade writes them again. Take a backup before applying.
The table is registered for key rotation, excluded from backups as a
regenerable cache, and deleted by Delete All Data.
Refs #975
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.
The nightly off-host job reports counts — uploaded, failed, total — and a
count cannot name the account it is failing for. A cohort where one object
has been refused every night for a month reads as "99 uploaded, 1 failed"
each time, which looks like weather rather than like an account with no
disaster-recovery copy at all.
The worker now writes a ledger row when an object lands (account, instant,
size), and Admin → Backups gains a second card that rates every account
against the nightly schedule: fresh inside one run, due when one run
produced nothing, stale when two did not, never when no object has ever
landed. On a host without BACKUP_S3_* the card says off-host backup is not
configured and stops there.
The verdicts are computed from the ledger, never from a bucket listing: the
worker's grant is deliberately PutObject + GetObject, and an admin page must
not put the operator's credentials on its render path to state a number the
database already holds.
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 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 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
