- 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.

- Remove LeafletMouseEvent from Vue components array (it's a type, not component)
- Add null check for UserNameDialog callback to prevent undefined assignment
- Implement extractErrorMessage helper function for consistent error handling
- 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
- Add migrateAll() function that handles complete migration in correct order:
Accounts → Settings → Contacts to avoid foreign key constraint issues
- Add prominent "Migrate All (Recommended)" button to migration UI
- Add informational section explaining migration order and rationale
- Add info icon to icon set for UI clarity
- Improve migration logic to handle overwriteExisting parameter properly:
- New records are always migrated regardless of checkbox setting
- Existing records are only updated when overwriteExisting=true
- Clear warning messages when records are skipped
- Maintain backward compatibility with individual migration buttons
- All code linted and formatted according to project standards
