Key rotation re-sealed a single-value backup in place, which holds the stored string, its bytes, the plaintext and the new ciphertext at once; a copy can be over a hundred megabytes and the in-app rotation walked 25 of them per page, enough to run a 1 GB container out of memory. Rotation now converts each such copy into pieces under the active key instead, one row at a time. The ~hlgcm1. stream of v1.38.6 to v1.39.1 is read a megabyte at a time with its tag checked at the end, inside one transaction, so a copy that fails the check is left untouched; the copy keeps its date. The scan reads only the first characters of each value. Measured on a copy of a 2.6 million-reading account (126 MB stored): converted in 25 s with the heap flat at 57 MB under a 200 MB limit, where re-sealing in place ran out of heap. The weekly and manual backup leave an account alone while a restore of its current copy is queued or running, and count it as skipped, not failed. A reader whose copy is replaced mid-read answers 409 backup_changed, "replaced by a newer one while it was being read", rather than the undecryptable error; a restore rolls back with the same code. Pieces are sealed with a fixed associated-data label, so a value the same key sealed for another purpose never opens as a piece; rotation re-seals under the same label. A row holding both a single value and pieces, which only an older release writing after a downgrade produces, is refused with a message saying so, and the next weekly run replaces it. Rotation treats a row deleted between its read and its write as gone rather than an error.
HealthLog API Spec
openapi.yaml is the OpenAPI 3.1 description for the HealthLog
Next.js API and the source of truth for the native iOS client's DTO
codegen. The file is generated: pnpm openapi:generate emits it
from the Zod registry under src/lib/openapi/ (registry.ts plus the
route modules in src/lib/openapi/routes/). Do not edit the YAML by
hand; the next generation overwrites it, and CI (openapi:check)
fails the build when the committed YAML drifts from the registry.
The MCP server is documented separately — it is a distinct contract over JSON-RPC, not part of the REST OpenAPI spec:
mcp-capabilities.md— the tool, resource, and prompt catalogue, the grounding contract, and the write model.mcp-skills.md— building a connector or skill on top of it.../self-hosting/mcp.md— enabling and connecting the surface (operator guide).

The spec is expected to be lint-clean (errors = 0). Warnings such as
no-server-example.com for the localhost dev server are tolerated;
re-run the lint to see what it produces against the current file
before treating a warning as a regression.

Conventions
- Successful responses use the envelope
{ data, error: null }. - Error responses use the envelope
{ data: null, error: '<message>' }. - Pagination uses
limit+offsetquery parameters and ameta: { total, limit, offset }block on the response. - All timestamps are ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 (
format: date-time) in UTC. - IDs are CUIDs (opaque strings).
Updating the spec
When adding or changing routes:
- Update the relevant route handler under
src/app/api/**/route.ts. - Change the Zod schemas and their
.meta()registrations undersrc/lib/openapi/(registry entry plus the matching module insrc/lib/openapi/routes/). KeepoperationIdcamelCase and stable; the iOS codegen keys off it. - Run
pnpm openapi:generateand commit the regeneratedopenapi.yamlalongside the schema change. CI'sopenapi:checkfails on drift. - Never edit the YAML directly and never bump
info.versionby hand; the version followspackage.jsonat generation time.
