3. Handles edge cases where schema exists but isn't recorded
4. Provides detailed integrity checking of database structure
5. Eliminates SQL errors from duplicate table/column creation attempts
Migration tracking is now working correctly with both migrations properly recorded.

- Fixed parameter binding in Capacitor platform service migration functions
- Added detailed debugging to track SQL execution and parameter passing
- Reverted migrations back to proper form (without IF NOT EXISTS workarounds)
- Enhanced extractMigrationNames to handle Capacitor SQLite result format
The migration system should now properly track applied migrations and avoid
re-running them on subsequent app starts.

This resolves issues where migrations would fail with 'table already exists' or
'duplicate column' errors when the database schema was already properly set up.
The enhanced logging makes it clear to users when migrations are being skipped
vs. applied, improving the debugging experience in Electron.
- Enhanced migration service error handling and logging
- Added better recovery mechanisms for failed migrations
- Improved database state validation before migration execution

Fixes database initialization issues when switching between platforms
(web, mobile, electron) that may have different migration states.
Code formatting improvements across multiple files:
1. databaseUtil.ts:
- Convert single quotes to double quotes for string literals
- Maintain consistency with project style guidelines
2. CapacitorPlatformService.ts:
- Convert single quotes to double quotes for string literals
- Align with TypeScript formatting standards
3. NewEditProjectView.vue:
- Improve code formatting for error handling lambda
- Better readability with proper line breaks and indentation
These changes improve code consistency and readability without
affecting functionality. All changes follow project style guidelines.
- Add parameter conversion in CapacitorPlatformService.queueOperation()
- Convert booleans to integers (0/1) for SQLite compatibility
- Convert objects/arrays to JSON strings for database storage
- Handle null/undefined values properly
- Ensure all SQL parameters are SQLite-compatible before queuing
This should resolve the 'SQLite3 can only bind numbers, strings, bigints, buffers, and null'
error by converting all parameters at the platform service level before they reach SQLite.
- Fix generateInsertStatement to convert all values to SQLite-compatible types
- Fix generateUpdateStatement to handle object and boolean conversion
- Manually mark existing migrations as completed to prevent duplicate execution
- Ensure all SQL parameters are converted to supported types: numbers, strings, bigints, buffers, or null
- Convert objects/arrays to JSON strings and booleans to integers (0/1)
This resolves the 'SQLite3 can only bind numbers, strings, bigints, buffers, and null' error
and prevents 'duplicate column name: iViewContent' migration conflicts.

- Update router to remove database-migration route
The migration system now properly handles database schema evolution
across app versions, while the IndexedDB to SQLite migration service
has been removed as it was specific to that one-time migration.
The DatabaseMigration view has been updated to properly handle both live
comparison data and exported JSON format, fixing count mismatches and
field name differences.
Changes:
- Added helper methods in DatabaseMigration.vue to handle both data formats:
- getSettingDisplayName() for settings with type/did or activeDid/accountDid
- getAccountHasIdentity() and getAccountHasMnemonic() for boolean fields
- Updated template to use new helper methods for consistent display
- Added exportComparison() method to handle JSON export format
- Fixed settings count display to match actual data state
Technical Details:
- Settings now handle both 'type'/'did' (JSON) and 'activeDid'/'accountDid' (live)
- Account display properly shows boolean values from either format
- Export functionality preserves data structure while maintaining readability
Resolves count mismatch between UI (showing 1 SQLite setting) and JSON data
(showing 0 SQLite settings).
Testing:
- Verified UI displays correct counts from both live and exported data
- Confirmed settings display works with both data formats
- Validated account boolean fields display correctly
- Update settings migration to maintain separate master and account records
- Use activeDid/accountDid pattern to differentiate between settings types:
* Master settings: activeDid set, accountDid empty
* Account settings: accountDid set, activeDid empty
- Add detailed logging for settings migration process
- Focus on migrating key fields: firstName, isRegistered, profileImageUrl,
showShortcutBvc, and searchBoxes
- Fix issue where settings were being incorrectly merged into a single record
This change ensures the SQLite database maintains the same settings structure
as Dexie, which is required by the existing codebase.
- Enhanced migration service to filter empty/default records from comparisons
- Updated comparison output to exclude records without meaningful data
- Improved UI display with better visual hierarchy and count indicators
- Added security improvements to prevent sensitive data exposure
- Fixed settings migration to properly handle MASTER_SETTINGS_KEY vs account DIDs
- Updated verification display to show filtered counts and detailed differences
- Improved data formatting for contacts, settings, and accounts sections
- Added proper filtering for missing records to avoid counting empty entries
Changes:
- Filter SQLite records to only include those with actual DIDs/data
- Update comparison counts to reflect meaningful differences only
- Enhance UI with count indicators and better visual organization
- Replace sensitive data display with boolean flags (hasIdentity, hasMnemonic)
- Fix settings migration logic for proper DID field handling
- Improve verification message to show detailed breakdown by type
- Add proper filtering for missing records in all data types
Security: Prevents exposure of mnemonics, private keys, and identity data
UI/UX: Cleaner display with better information hierarchy and counts
Migration: More accurate comparison results and better debugging visibility
