# Migration 004 Complexity Resolution Plan |
||||
|
|
||||
|
**Document Version**: 1.3 |
||||
|
**Author**: Matthew Raymer |
||||
|
**Date**: 2025-01-27 |
||||
|
**Status**: Implementation Phase - Phase 1 Complete |
||||
|
|
||||
|
## Problem Summary |
||||
|
|
||||
|
The current migration 004 implementation has become overly complex with multiple critical issues that create serious risks for data integrity and application performance. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Four Most Critical Issues |
||||
|
|
||||
|
1. **Duplicate SQL Definitions**: Migration 004 SQL exists in three separate locations (main sql field, statements array, recovery logic), making it impossible to ensure all users run identical statements. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
2. **Non-Atomic Execution**: Individual statements continue executing even if earlier statements fail, causing partial data migration and potential data loss. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
3. **Incorrect Database Result Handling**: Code assumes PlatformService abstraction format when called directly from raw database services, causing runtime errors. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
4. **Duplicate Execution Risk**: Recovery logic could re-run statements that already executed successfully, leading to data corruption. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
## Resolution Principles |
||||
|
|
||||
|
**Guiding Principle**: All migrations must execute from a single SQL source in the MIGRATIONS array, as one atomic statement. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
- **Single Source of Truth**: Only one place defines migration SQL |
||||
|
- **Atomic Operations**: Migration succeeds completely or fails completely |
||||
|
- **Database Agnostic**: Result handling works with any database service |
||||
|
- **Minimal Overhead**: No unnecessary logging or validation |
||||
|
- **Simple Recovery**: If migration fails, it should be obvious and fixable |
||||
|
|
||||
|
## Implementation Phases |
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Phase 1: Simplify Migration Definition ✅ COMPLETED |
||||

||||
|
**Actions**: |
||||
|
- Test migration execution with different database services |
||||
|
- Verify no duplicate execution occurs |
||||
|
- Confirm proper error handling |
||||
|
- Validate data integrity after migration |
||||
|
- Test rollback/restore scenarios to confirm system recovery paths |
||||
|
- Test edge cases: empty database, partially migrated database, already-migrated database |
||||
|
- Test concurrency scenarios (multiple app instances/migrations starting simultaneously) |
||||
|
- Test cross-platform/device differences (SQLite, AbsurdSQL, Capacitor DB adapters) |
||||
|
|
||||
|
**Deliverables**: |
||||
|
- Working migration system |
||||

||||
|
|
||||
|
## Performance & Debugging |
||||
|
|
||||
|
**Current Issue**: Excessive logging and validation code runs on every app startup, slowing application performance. |
||||
|
|
||||
|
**Solution**: |
||||
|
- Debugging/logging is acceptable in development/test environments |
||||
|
- Production startup must not be slowed by migration debugging |
||||
|
- Move complex validation to test page or development-only mode |
||||
|
- Keep only essential error logging for production |
||||
|
|
||||
|
## Rollback & Recovery Procedures |
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Manual Rollback Steps |
||||
|
1. **Stop Application**: Ensure no active database connections |
||||
|
2. **Restore Database**: Use snapshot/backup to restore pre-migration state |
||||
|
3. **Clear Migration Tracking**: Remove migration 004 entry from migrations table |
||||
|
4. **Verify State**: Confirm active_identity table is removed and settings.activeDid is restored |
||||
|
5. **Restart Application**: Test normal operation |
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Automated Rollback |
||||
|
- **Automated Detection**: Migration service detects failure and triggers rollback |
||||
|
- **Database Restore**: Automated restoration from pre-migration snapshot |
||||
|
- **Logging**: Detailed rollback logs with failure cause and recovery actions |
||||
|
- **Validation**: Automated verification of rollback success |
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Recovery Validation |
||||
|
- **Data Integrity Check**: Verify all data is consistent with pre-migration state |
||||
|
- **Migration Status**: Confirm migration tracking reflects correct state |
||||
|
- **Application Functionality**: Test core features work correctly |
||||
|
- **Performance Baseline**: Confirm startup performance matches pre-migration levels |
||||
|
|
||||
|
## Files Requiring Changes |
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Core Migration Files (Primary Changes) |
||||
|
- `src/db-sql/migration.ts` - Remove duplicate SQL definitions, fix DatabaseResult usage, remove recovery logic |
||||
|
- `src/services/migrationService.ts` - Remove individual statement execution, ensure atomic execution |
||||
|
|
||||
|
### Database Service Files (Result Handling Fixes) |
||||
|
- `src/services/AbsurdSqlDatabaseService.ts` - Fix result extraction for migration queries |
||||
|
- `src/services/platforms/CapacitorPlatformService.ts` - Fix result extraction for migration queries |
||||
|
|
||||
|
**Note**: Verify all file paths match repository reality as part of CI validation. |
||||
|
|
||||
|

|
## Next Steps |
||||
|
|
||||
|
1. **Review and Approve Plan**: Get stakeholder approval for this approach |
||||
|
2. **Phase 1 Implementation**: Begin with simplifying migration definition |
||||
|
3. **Testing**: Validate each phase before proceeding |
||||
|
4. **Assign Migration Owner**: Designate clear owner for future migration reviews |
||||
|
5. **Create Review Checklist**: Define lightweight checklist (SQL duplication, atomicity, error handling) to prevent recurrence |
||||
|
|
||||
|
## Dependencies |
||||
|
|
||||
|
- Migration service architecture |
||||
|
- Database service implementations |
||||
|
- Testing infrastructure |
||||
|
- Documentation system |
||||
|

|
## Lessons Learned |
||||
|
|
||||
|
**Process Improvement Note**: This migration complexity highlights the importance of closer review and consolidation of AI-generated code. Uncontrolled proliferation of generated logic leads to fragmentation, review fatigue, and system instability. Future development should prioritize: |
||||
|
|
||||
|
- Single source of truth for all critical logic |
||||
|
- Atomic operations over complex multi-step processes |
||||
|
- Regular consolidation and simplification of generated code |
||||
|
- Clear ownership and review processes for migration logic |
