A disaster-recovery snapshot carries the singleton `app_settings` row —
registration, the MFA requirement, the default locale and timezone, module
availability, the notification and AI configuration, the document size cap and
quota — and the restore wrote it back as a side effect of restoring one
account. An operator putting a single record back on Wednesday reconfigured the
whole host from Monday's file, silently, with nothing on screen saying so.
Rebuilding a host from a snapshot is a real case, so the write stays: it is now
`restoreInstanceSettings: true` on the request and a checkbox beside the typed
gate, off unless the operator ticks it. Restoring an account and reconfiguring
the installation are two decisions, so they are two answers.
The 422 confirmation sentence and the dialog copy drop the instance-wide claim;
the opt-in carries it instead, in all seven catalogues. Integration coverage
runs both arms: without the flag the settings row keeps its own values, with it
the file's values land.
The off-host job was said to benefit from the streaming work the weekly
in-database backup got, and it did not. Only the payload builder was
shared: `runOffhostBackup` called `buildFullBackupJson` for the whole
document, `gzipSync` over that whole string, a whole-buffer
`createCipheriv` pass over the result, and handed the finished buffer to
a single `PutObject`. Four full copies of the record alive at once, on
the same arithmetic the weekly pass had already been fixed for.
Configuring an S3 target on a long-lived record therefore restarted the
container. On an account of 445 000 measurements the JSON alone is
242 MB, and against a 1 GB container's 524 MB heap the run died of heap
exhaustion seventeen seconds in — taking every signed-in session with
it, because the job shares the app process.
The write path is a stream end to end now: `streamFullBackupJson`
produces the document a page at a time, gzip and an incremental
AES-256-GCM writer consume it as it arrives, and `@aws-sdk/lib-storage`
puts it up in two 8 MB parts. What the process holds is fixed by the
pipeline's shape rather than by the record. Measured on that same
445 000-measurement account under `--max-old-space-size=450`, with the
heap pre-loaded to what a warm server holds: the old path dies with
`Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit`, the new one finishes with a
peak 79 MB above its baseline and writes a 9.1 MB object.
The stored envelope gains version 3, which moves the GCM tag from in
front of the ciphertext to the end. That is the only change the stream
required — the tag exists only once the last block is in, so a leading
one means the whole object must exist before its first byte can be sent.
Nothing about the authentication moves: the tag still covers every
ciphertext byte and is verified before a byte of plaintext comes back.
Versions 1 and 2 still read, so every object already in a bucket
restores through the same reader with no flag to tell them apart.
The incremental writer is the crypto module's, split into its byte-level
half so the base64 form the in-database blob uses and the raw form an
object needs are one implementation under two framings. The off-host key
handling is unchanged: a separate `BACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY`, 64 hex or
32-byte base64, passed in rather than looked up.
A run that uploaded nothing for anybody is a failed job now, not
`ok: true` with an empty bucket behind it. Wrong credentials, a missing
bucket and an unreachable endpoint all fail every account rather than
one, and the target's own sentence rides out as the cause. A run where
some account got a copy still succeeds; retrying the whole cohort over
one object would re-upload everybody's.
The one ceiling left is structural rather than a memory bound, and it is
counted rather than discovered: a multipart upload carries 10 000 parts,
so an object past 80 GB is refused for that account with a clear message
instead of failing halfway through with an SDK error about part numbers.
`tests/integration/offhost-backup-streaming-memory.test.ts` pins the
budget from both sides — what the streaming uploader holds, and that the
materialising path does not fit the same budget on the same fixture in
the same process, so the number cannot pass by measuring nothing.
MedicationSideEffect was classified as backed up and was not carried: the
export wrote nothing and the restore had nothing to read, so a restored
account kept the drug and lost the reason someone may have stopped taking it.
Delegated write access sharpens that — a side effect is one of the things a
second person can contribute, and it was the contribution a restore dropped.
The rows ride inside their medication, like the schedules beside them. A
top-level array would have to carry `medicationId` and survive a restore that
mints a fresh id for a portable file, which is the remap the intake events
already work around by drug name; a nested create has no id to remap, because
Prisma binds the child to whatever id the parent row actually got.
The note follows the measurement contract for the same dual-column
arrangement: a portable export carries the decrypted note and no ciphertext, a
disaster-recovery payload carries the ciphertext verbatim, and the restore
re-encrypts a legacy plaintext row rather than writing plaintext back into the
column.
Move the model from COVERAGE_PENDING to TWO_ENDED_MODELS, and settle the claim
where a written verdict cannot: the round trip seeds a side effect, exports
through the real builder, empties the account and reads the row back out of
the real restore route with its category, entry, severity and note intact.
Both halves were excised to check the test can fail — the restore branch turns
the count red, the payload turns the field values red.
Three of the restore's lookups resolve a key against a seeded catalogue:
cycle symptoms, illness symptoms, mood factors. Each threw on a key it
could not resolve, inside the one transaction that wipes and rebuilds the
account. So a single renamed symptom rolled everything back and answered
500. No measurements, no doses, no notes, nothing. A year-old backup read
by a newer instance is the ordinary case for a backup, and the catalogue
drifts between those two dates by design.
The unresolvable link is dropped and named now. What it costs is one
association between a row and a symptom; the day-log, the mood entry, the
flow, the temperature and the encrypted note all come back. The count and
the exact keys ride the response, the audit row and the wide event, and
the admin surface shows them in a panel that stays put instead of a toast
that leaves. A quiet drop would be the older failure of this same seam
wearing a success message.
A dangling `cycleId` or a dose recorded against a medication the file
never carried still throws. Those name rows the file was supposed to hold,
so a missing one means the file contradicts itself. A catalogue key names
a row the instance owns, which is why it gets the other answer.
`IllnessSymptom` carries no owner column at all, so a key that will not
resolve there can only ever be drift; the file was never able to supply it.
The restore does not mint the missing catalogue row back. That would
preserve the link at the price of reference data colliding with whatever
the next migration seeds under that key, and a label nothing can translate.
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.
The disaster-recovery backup selected every Measurement scalar except the
aggregation fields, so a restore brought every `stats:` aggregate back with no
provenance and the Apple Health authority ladder came back flat: an export.xml
source-day estimate could then overwrite a native HealthKit statistic.
`aggregationProvenance` now rides the select, the disaster-recovery
serialization, the payload schema and the restore mapping, following
`externalSourceVersion` exactly — including staying out of the reduced
portable shape, which carries the human-readable subset only. The schema field
is optional, so every backup written before this parses unchanged.
Restoring one of those older backups no longer recreates the ambiguity
migration 0263 repaired: an Apple Health row under a `stats:` identity with no
provenance comes back as LEGACY_UNKNOWN, the sentinel the cumulative drain
already writes in that situation, so a native sync or archive reprocess can
repair it. The gate is scoped as 0263 scoped its backfill — other providers
mint `stats:` identities for their cumulative dailies and have never carried
provenance, and ordinary point rows keep NULL.
Mood has been a first-class module here for a long time, with entries,
structured tags, rated factors and notes. The bridge to the external moodLog
service had nothing left to add, and its Settings card was withdrawn in
a56e6fe61 on the promise of a dedicated removal. This delivers it.
Removed: the hourly `moodlog-sync` queue, cron and handler binding; the
inbound webhook and its shared-secret handling; the reverse push and its four
call sites; the pull-sync module; the per-user credential routes and the
instance-wide toggle; the entry on the `/api/integrations/status` envelope,
the `IntegrationKey` union, the cadence map and the display-name table; the
boot-time secret rotation pass; 22 message keys per locale.
Migration 0271 drops the five `users` credential columns and
`app_settings.mood_log_global`, clears the ledger row for the provider, and
deletes the retired pg-boss schedule so no cron keeps enqueuing work no
handler drains.
Mood data is untouched. `mood_entries` is not named anywhere in the migration
and cannot be reached from it: the dropped columns carry no index, constraint
or foreign key, and `mood_entries.user_id` references `users(id)`, not any of
them. Rows the bridge imported keep `source = 'MOODLOG'`, and every read path
- list filter, source badge, exports, backups - still resolves that value.
`src/lib/validations/moodlog.ts` held the native mood-entry schemas alongside
the bridge's own; it is now `validations/mood.ts` and carries only the former.
