Migrations 0402 to 0410: AI usage levels, biomarker aliases and merges,
medication ingredients (with the supplement label run kind), life
circumstance fact kinds, AI sections and AUDIT-C, Dawarich context, the
pulse day-mean method, intraday hour buckets, the readable location drop
and five relation link tables. Every new column carries its reader or a
pending-consumer marker.
0409 refuses to run while any home, location period or stored day still
holds a readable location, and names the counts. Locations are read from
the sealed copy only; the encryption backfill no longer handles them, and
the demo seed writes sealed locations only.
The new tables are backed up and wiped, the new sealed columns are in the
rotation registry with labels of their own, the AI usage level and the
life-circumstance confirmations travel with the backup, and the wellbeing
score reads the mental-health screeners only.
A portable file carries no removed doses, so a restored medication with
automatic recording on had the pass fill a dose the person deleted in
the days before the export. The restored floor is now the later of the
file's value and the restore.
The lab unit conversion moves to the next release, so its note string
leaves all seven bundles and the i18n pending list. The three columns
that hold the conversion provenance stay (migration 0385, nothing writes
them yet); the backup now carries them both ways, so the round-trip
pending list is empty too and the conversion needs no backup change when
it lands.
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.
Fetch the Open-Meteo air-quality feed (CAMS, domains=auto) with the weather:
17 hourly variables folded into local days by fixed rules (means and maxima
only with 18 of 24 hours, ozone as the highest 8-hour running mean, UV only
with the midday hours), a value the feed did not cover stored as null, never
as zero. Requests are cut into 90-day chunks, newest first, and chunks before
mid 2022 ask for the eight pollutant and index variables only. An air-quality
failure never costs the weather row; the day stays unfetched and the nightly
gap fill (up to 90 days per account, newest first) asks for it again.
Every Open-Meteo request asks an instance-wide budget kept in Postgres first
(500 a minute, 4000 an hour, 8000 a day, weighted by the hosted pricing
rule). A refused request is not sent and the run ends as done with
budget_blocked. OPENMETEO_AIR_QUALITY_URL and ENVIRONMENT_AIR_QUALITY_DISABLED
are honoured; the account switch lives on PATCH /api/environment/preferences.
The home, each dated location period and each stored day keep their coarse
location sealed as one value under healthlog/environment-location/v1. The
writers write the sealed value only, the readers open it and fall back to the
readable columns for rows the free-text encryption backfill has not reached,
and the backfill now seals all three and clears the readable columns. The
backup carries the location readable in a portable file and sealed in a
disaster-recovery file; a restore seals either under the receiving key.
Three correlation channels join the environment family (PM2.5, the ozone
8-hour high, the day's highest pollen count), read through the averaged
same-day window and left empty while air quality is off. The Coach and MCP
gain get_environment: module-gated, clamped to the lookback limit, no
coordinate or place name anywhere, with provenance and the attribution
lines. The settings section gets the switch, the coverage and the newest
day's values; the dashboard shows a quiet chip on a day with high pollen,
a warm night or very poor air. Copernicus and Open-Meteo are credited next
to the values.
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.
Add the shared contract the reasoning release builds on, with no change
to how a turn runs today.
- Schema: operator reasoning controls on app_settings (0376), the
encrypted trail text on coach_messages (0377), and source,
last_used_at and source_message_id on coach_facts (0378).
- Provider contract: CompletionParams.reasoning and onReasoning,
CompletionResult.reasoning and providerState, AiMessage.providerState.
- Reasoning levels, thinking budgets and the background-job table in
src/lib/ai/reasoning/levels.ts; coachPrefsJson.reasoning, absent
meaning medium, salvaged field by field like every other pref.
- Stream: activity, memoryNote and planProposal frames, done.stop and
done.withheldResults, result.interim, a compare chart kind, eight
table refs, three more clarification kinds with an assumed choice,
the change_assumption chip, and assumptions, activity, stop,
memoryNote and planProposal on the provenance. Zod mirror, type
parity and the native-client key rule cover every new frame.
- Chat request: memoryDecision and planDecision, parsed and not yet
acted on.
- Stub contracts for the memory functions and the activity recorder,
inert until their implementations land.
- Backup, restore and rotation carry the new columns; a fact's message
reference is resolved against the restored messages like its
conversation reference.
- Message keys for the trail, memory, plans, assumptions, replies,
interim tables, comparison charts and reasoning settings in all seven
locales, each reachable from a catalog and checked both ways.
Taking the weekly preview from the writer dropped the schema check the
old scanner ran at the end, so a copy that violates the schema was
described as restorable. The collector now checks each section in its
JSON form as the writer shows it, an array section and a bulk table one
element at a time, plus the schema's one whole-document rule (a
canonical copy names every measurement by id). A copy that fails gets
no stored preview, and the preview route reads the copy itself, as it
did before. Nothing is kept beyond one element.
Measured on the preview memory test under --max-old-space-size=524:
held after the producer 3 MB with and without the check, raw peak
heapUsed 293 MB with it (335 MB without). The test now loads the
backup schema before its baseline: a module loaded once per process,
not memory that grows with the record.
backupPayloadSchema is built when validations/backup.ts is evaluated and
holds about 12 MB of heap. The restore job, the stored-backup readers and
the export writer import that module, and they sit on the boot path, so
every server process built the schema at start whether or not it ever
touched a backup.
The schema version, the compatibility check and the per-section summary
move to validations/backup-summary.ts, which never builds the schema. The
call sites that validate a file (upload, restore, the summary and download
routes, and the streamed reader's element check) load backup.ts with a
dynamic import at that moment; everything else takes only types. The
OpenAPI registry keeps its static import, since only the spec generator
loads it.
After warm-up on a production build under --max-old-space-size=524, the
used heap drops by about 29 MB, and the schema no longer appears in a heap
snapshot. A structural test refuses a new static value import of the
module outside the registry.
Since v1.39.6 the preview scanner parsed the JSON on its way into the
pieces, kept every section but the three bulk tables, and validated the
whole document at the end: a second copy of the record beside the
writer's own, inside the weekly job. On an account with a document vault
that is most of the record.
The writer now shows each section and each bulk row to an observer just
before writing it. The preview collects key uses from that and takes its
counts from the writer's own FullBackupCounts; nothing is parsed or kept.
An upload hands over the summary and key uses it has already validated.
The round trip pins the writer's counts and key uses to a full read of
the copy on an account with a row in every model, and a memory test holds
what the pass keeps once the producer is done.
Measured on 70,000 measurements, 3,000 mood entries and 40 one-megabyte
documents under --max-old-space-size=524: held after the producer
56 MB before, 3 MB after; peak heapUsed 398 MB before, 334 MB after.
With every sealed column filled, the column round trip now also builds
the portable file of the same account and fails on any section that
carries a sealed column as stored ciphertext, unless the section is named
with a reason. The disaster-recovery file of the same account is the
floor, so a matcher that finds nothing cannot pass the check.
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 certificate of incapacity for work (in Germany the
Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung) is now its own document kind,
SICK_NOTE, instead of Other. The enum value rides migration 0370.
Uploads, edits, the kind filter, bulk edits, the import script and the
backup format accept it; the vault files it with a thermometer glyph
between prescriptions and referrals; the filing suggestion can propose
it and names the words a sick note carries. The extraction's own kind
field keeps its three values.
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.
The round-trip fixture deleted its measurement on a fixed date. The restore
drops a measurement tombstone older than TOMBSTONE_RETENTION_DAYS (75) on
purpose, so on 2026-10-03 the fixture aged out and the suite failed on main
and on every open branch. The deletion is now ten days before the run.
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.
The round-trip test proved that a row of each two-ended model comes back,
not that it comes back whole. A restore that writes the row with a column
defaulted returns the right count and loses the value; the medication
category went missing that way.
The new case lists each model's columns from the client's data model,
with optional/default/key attributes from schema.prisma (the two field
lists must agree). Columns the fixture left empty get a value that cannot
pass for a default, one column at a time so a refused value names its
column. Then it exports, deletes the account, restores, and compares each
column as a multiset of values: sealed columns by their plaintext, a
legacy plaintext column together with its sealed twin, declared foreign
keys by presence, primary keys, owner and @updatedAt excluded by rule.
A column added tomorrow is compared automatically: it comes back, or it
is named in COLUMN_EXCLUSIONS with a reason. Entries naming a column that
no longer exists fail. A pure case shows the comparison catches a column
it was never told about, and the run asserts at least 620 columns
compared (632 today). Removing the workout source marker, a schedule
label, the folded-cycle pointer or the nutrient createdAt from either end
each fails the run naming that column.
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.
Each later piece of the dialog gets its own module, answering nothing for
now: the step builder, the table projection and chart choice, the result
ref marks, the follow-up derivation, sentinel, resolution and continue
chip, the reuse turn, the clarification parse and answer, the method line,
and the four prompt addenda. The turn pipeline calls them where they
belong, so the frames go out in the documented order (step, token,
provenance, result, cards, clarification, followUps, done) and a blocked
turn drops its tables, chips and clarification. With every piece empty
the stream and the prompt stay byte for byte as before.
The home location of the environment module was rounded to 2 decimals,
about 1 km, which places a home in a neighbourhood rather than the town the
schema comment promised. The weather archive it feeds is gridded at 9 to
25 km, so the extra precision bought nothing.
Every stored coordinate of the module now goes through the same 1-decimal
rounding (about 11 km north-south, 7 km east-west at 50° N): the home, the
travel periods, the geocoder's results, the per-day weather rows, and a
restore of a file written with finer values. Migration 0361 rounds the
existing users, travel periods and per-day rows; running it twice changes
nothing more. The answers keep their shape, plain numbers. The API
descriptions and the schema comment say 1 decimal now.
A new nullable column, coach_messages.results_encrypted, holds the tables
of values a turn read as AES-GCM ciphertext; only their metadata rides the
plaintext provenance. readMessageResults serves them to the owner, each
table whole or withheld with a reason. The provenance restore learns the
steps, method, table metadata, chips, clarification and the forced-answer
marker, entry by entry against the wire schema.
The column is registered for key rotation, carried through both backup
formats (ciphertext in a disaster-recovery file, readable JSON in a
portable one) and goes with its row on conversation delete and wipe.
The title of a Coach conversation is the first 80 characters of the
opening message, and the note on a custom-metric reading is free text;
both were stored readable while every other note was encrypted.
Migration 0357 adds coach_conversations.title_encrypted and
custom_metric_entries.note_encrypted (the title loses its NOT NULL) plus
partial indexes on the backfill's discovery predicate. Every writer now
stores ciphertext only: conversation create, proactive nudge, reminder
surfacing, rename, entry create and edit, and both restore formats.
Readers prefer the ciphertext and fall back to the old column for rows
not yet migrated; a ciphertext that does not open throws instead of
falling back. The history title search decrypts in memory, since SQL can
no longer match the title.
free-text-encryption-backfill is a boot-time, idempotent pg-boss job
(staggered past the startup storm, daily discovery tick) that seals each
remaining readable value and nulls it in one transaction per row. A pass
that sees a row twice stops with an error instead of looping.
Both columns are registered for key rotation (registry, CLI script, and
the in-app rotation that walks the registry). A disaster-recovery backup
carries ciphertext only, sealing a not-yet-migrated row on the way out;
a portable export carries readable text. The old columns are marked for
removal in a later release.
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.

A condition (illness episode) can carry where on the body it sits, in the
person's own words and encrypted at rest, plus an optional side (LEFT,
RIGHT, BOTH). Same enum, codec and reasoning as the procedure's site.
- migration 0354: two nullable columns on illness_episodes, reusing the
laterality type from 0349
- create and edit accept bodySite and laterality; on PATCH an absent key
keeps the stored value, so an edit from the shipped iPhone app, which
never sends either field, leaves them untouched
- GET /api/body-sites: the sites the record holds across visits and
conditions, folded after the decrypt and bounded per kind; with site
(and laterality) the visits and conditions there, one hop to their
documents, lab results and visits. Read in the profile section;
conditions only under an illness grant with the module on, and links
into ungranted sections come back as unlabelled placeholders
- the link service reads document and visit links from the condition's
end of the two existing tables
- /checkups gains a Body sites tab; the visit and condition forms share
one body-site field pair that suggests sites already used; a
condition's page links its site into the view
- the doctor report, the clinician page and the MCP doctor-visit summary
name the site on conditions; the Coach illness block carries it
sanitised, and MCP get_illness_recovery returns it fenced
- backup and restore carry both fields in both file kinds; the site is
registered as ciphertext and rotates with the key
- i18n in all seven locales, OpenAPI regenerated

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.
A portable export left the medication's creation instant out, so a restore
stamped the restore time instead. The creation instant is where a
medication's expected doses start, so the whole restored history then read
as predating the medication: its missed doses dropped out of every
adherence rate. The portable file now carries the creation instant as the
disaster-recovery file already did, and the restore, which already honoured
it, brings it back. A round trip pins both file purposes.
Refs #1028
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 compression that landed last release was real and was measured in the
wrong place. On a development machine with a multi-gigabyte heap the pass
finished; the container the job runs in is capped at 1 GB, which gives V8
a 524 MB limit, and there the same pass died of memory about fifteen
seconds in. Because the job shares the application process, that was not
one failed backup — it was a restart, and every signed-in session on the
host went with it.
Reproduced before touching anything, under `--max-old-space-size=450`
against a seeded account of 445 000 measurements, 30 000 mood entries and
60 000 intake events: `FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit` at 34 s. The same
fixture doubled to 890 000 measurements now completes inside a 296 MB
limit, holding 16 MB of live heap where the old writer held 168 MB.
The document is written incrementally now. `buildFullBackupPayload` takes
a `deferBulk` mode that declares the three unbounded tables instead of
reading them, and `streamFullBackupJson` walks the payload in key order,
pulls those tables through page by page, and releases every other section
as soon as its JSON reaches the sink. `packBackupBlobStreaming` feeds that
into gzip and an AES-256-GCM stream, so nothing between the database rows
and the stored value ever exists whole. Both writers go through the same
per-row serialisers, and the round-trip suite pins their output byte for
byte rather than trusting that they agree.
The intake and mood reads are ordered totally now. A keyset cursor needs
it, and a partial order also let two exports of one account differ over a
tie, which every multi-dose day has.
The streamed ciphertext is a new shape at rest, because GCM only produces
its tag once the last block is in and a leading tag is what makes the old
layout unstreamable. It carries a marker no older writer can produce, so
the two families are disjoint by construction rather than by sniffing.
All three stored shapes — plain, compressed, streamed — restore, proved
both ways.
The writer also watches its own live heap and stops at 80 % of V8's
limit. An account too large for its host is now one failed backup,
counted in the run's meta, instead of a restart for everybody on it.
The stored column is the ceiling that is left: `data_backups.data` is a
single `text` value, so the finished artifact has to exist as one string,
and that is the only part of the job still growing with the record. The
operator runbook says so, with the number at which it starts to matter.
The export was its only user, and the export now reads through a helper that
marks an undecryptable note instead of blanking it. Nothing else wanted the
silent null: the list DTO never carries the note at all, only `hasNote`, and
the single-resource GET has always used the throwing decrypt so a key gap
surfaces there.
Deleted rather than kept behind a dead-code exemption. A fail-soft twin
sitting unused next to a strict one is the exact shape this branch has been
clearing out — the next person writing an export reaches for whatever is
nearest, and the whole point was that the nearest thing should not silently
swallow a row. It had no test of its own, so none was removed; the three
comments that pointed at it are rewritten to say what is true now.
The weekly pass built the whole account in memory, serialised it whole,
encrypted the string whole, and handed the result to the database whole.
That is four full copies of the record at the same moment — the object
graph, the JSON, the base64 ciphertext at 1.33x the JSON, and the copy the
driver makes of that parameter. Measured against a seeded account of
445 000 readings, the JSON alone is 242 MB and the run dies of heap
exhaustion; under a modest heap it never reaches the insert. The pass was
not slow, it could not finish.
A health record's JSON is extremely repetitive, so gzip takes that 242 MB
to 14 MB and every copy after it shrinks with it. The same run completes
in about twenty seconds with a peak heap of 434 MB and a stored row of
25 MB instead of 322 MB — which also matters because the copy lives inside
the database it would be needed to restore. Both backup jobs now hand the
serialised form back from a frame of its own, so the payload graph is
released before the compress step allocates anything.
The marker sits inside the ciphertext, so the stored column keeps the one
shape `decrypt()` already understands and rows written before this still
restore. The off-host object gets the same treatment through the version
byte its envelope always carried; version 1 objects still read back, which
both the restore drill and the restore script depend on.
The obvious saving — dropping soft-deleted readings, four rows in five on
a real record — is not taken, and the round-trip test now seeds a
tombstone and asserts it makes the journey. A tombstone inside the
retention window is what tells a synced client the row is gone and what
makes a re-sent sample a no-op; a restore without them brings back every
measurement the account ever deleted on the next device sync.
A lab note or a biomarker context written under a key this instance no
longer holds came out of a portable export as `null` — byte-identical to a
column that was never written. The restore importer then wrote nothing, so
the text was gone and nothing said it had ever been there. The whole loss
fit inside a fail-soft `catch` written for a list view, where returning null
is the right answer.
Both now export a short marker naming what happened, and the marker survives
a restore. The Coach transcript already did this with a placeholder sentence
and the doctor report with a rendered flag; the marker is now one constant
the transcript shares, and its comment says why an empty string will not do.
The unit test that required `note: null` here pinned the loss. It keeps the
half that matters — one bad row must never abort the export — and asserts
the marker instead. The round trip is proven end to end against a real
restore.
The 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.
