- Consolidate preload script with secure IPC bridge and channel validation
- Ensure single initialization path in main process
- Add robust error handling and user feedback
- Fix race conditions in window creation and SQLite ready signal
Current state:
- SQLite initializes successfully in main process
- IPC bridge is established and events are transmitted
- Window creation and loading sequence is correct
- Renderer receives ready signal and mounts app
- Database operations still fail in renderer due to connection issues
Known issues:
- SQLite proxy not properly initialized in renderer
- Database connection not established in renderer
- Error logging attempts to use database before ready
- Connection state management needs improvement
This commit represents a stable point where IPC communication
is working but database operations need to be fixed.
- Add comprehensive logging for database operations
- Implement proper database path handling and permissions
- Set up WAL journal mode and PRAGMA configurations
- Create initial database schema with tables and triggers
- Add retry logic for database operations
- Implement proper error handling and state management
Current state:
- Database initialization works in main process
- Connection creation succeeds with proper permissions
- Schema creation and table setup complete
- Logging system fully implemented
- Known issue: Property name mismatch between main process and renderer
causing read-only mode conflicts (to be fixed in next commit)
Technical details:
- Uses WAL journal mode for better concurrency
- Implements proper file permissions checking
- Sets up foreign key constraints
- Creates tables: users, time_entries, time_goals, time_goal_entries
- Adds automatic timestamp triggers
- Implements proper connection lifecycle management
Security:
- Proper file permissions (755 for directory)
- No hardcoded credentials
- Proper error handling and logging
- Safe file path handling

Changes to sqlite-init.ts:
- Standardized connection options format between main and renderer processes
- Added explicit mode: 'rwc' to force read-write-create mode
- Added connection registration verification
- Added detailed logging of actual file paths
- Added journal mode verification to detect read-only state
- Removed redundant PRAGMA settings (now handled in main process)
- Added more detailed error reporting for connection failures
Security:
- Ensures consistent read-write permissions across processes
- Verifies database is not opened in read-only mode
- Maintains proper file permissions (644) and directory permissions (755)
Testing:
- Verified connection creation in both main and renderer processes
- Confirmed journal mode is set correctly
- Validated connection registration
- Tested error handling for invalid states
