# Active Identity Upgrade Plan
**Author**: Matthew Raymer
**Date**: 2025-09-11
**Status**: 🎯 **PLANNING** - Database migration and active identity system upgrade
## Overview
Comprehensive upgrade to the active identity system, addressing architectural issues and implementing enhanced database constraints. Includes database migration enhancements and settings table cleanup based on team feedback.
## Implementation Status
**✅ COMPLETED**: Migration structure updated according to team member feedback
### Implemented Changes
1. **✅ Migration 003**: `003_add_hasBackedUpSeed_to_settings` - Adds `hasBackedUpSeed` column to settings (assumes master deployment)
2. **✅ Migration 004**: `004_active_identity_and_seed_backup` - Creates `active_identity` table with data migration
3. **✅ Migration Service**: Updated validation and schema detection logic for new migration structure
4. **✅ TypeScript**: Fixed type compatibility issues
### Migration Structure Now Follows Team Guidance
- **Migration 003**: `003_add_hasBackedUpSeed_to_settings` (assumes master code deployed)
- **Migration 004**: `004_active_identity_and_seed_backup` (creates active_identity table)
- **All migrations are additional** - no editing of previous migrations
- **Data migration logic** preserves existing `activeDid` from settings
- **iOS/Android compatibility** confirmed with SQLCipher 4.9.0 (SQLite 3.44.2)
## Educational Context
### Why This Upgrade Matters
The active identity system is **critical infrastructure** affecting every user interaction:
1. **Data Integrity**: Current `ON DELETE SET NULL` allows accidental deletion of active accounts
2. **Manual Maintenance**: Timestamps require manual updates, creating inconsistency opportunities
3. **Architectural Clarity**: Separating active identity from user settings improves maintainability
### What This Upgrade Achieves
- **Prevents Data Loss**: `ON DELETE RESTRICT` prevents accidental account deletion
- **Automatic Consistency**: Database triggers ensure timestamps are always current
- **Cleaner Architecture**: Complete separation of identity management from user preferences
- **Better Performance**: Optimized indexes for faster account selection
## Current State Analysis
### Existing Migration Structure
- **Migration 003**: `003_add_hasBackedUpSeed_to_settings` - Adds `hasBackedUpSeed` column to settings (already deployed in master)
- **Migration 004**: `004_active_identity_and_seed_backup` - Creates `active_identity` table with data migration
- **Foreign Key**: `ON DELETE SET NULL` constraint
- **Data Migration**: Copies existing `activeDid` from settings to `active_identity` table
- **Bootstrapping**: Auto-selects first account if `activeDid` is null/empty
**Important**: All migrations are **additional** - no editing of previous migrations since master code has been deployed.
### Current Schema (Migration 004) - IMPLEMENTED
```sql
-- Migration 004: active_identity_and_seed_backup
-- Assumes master code deployed with migration 003
PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_accounts_did_unique ON accounts(did);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS active_identity (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY CHECK (id = 1),
activeDid TEXT DEFAULT NULL,
lastUpdated TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
FOREIGN KEY (activeDid) REFERENCES accounts(did) ON DELETE SET NULL
);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_active_identity_single_record ON active_identity(id);
-- Seed singleton row
INSERT INTO active_identity (id, activeDid, lastUpdated)
SELECT 1, NULL, datetime('now')
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM active_identity WHERE id = 1);
-- MIGRATE EXISTING DATA: Copy activeDid from settings
UPDATE active_identity
SET activeDid = (SELECT activeDid FROM settings WHERE id = 1),
lastUpdated = datetime('now')
WHERE id = 1
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM settings WHERE id = 1 AND activeDid IS NOT NULL AND activeDid != '');
```
## Current Implementation Details
### PlatformServiceMixin.ts Implementation
The current `$getActiveIdentity()` method in `src/utils/PlatformServiceMixin.ts`:
```typescript
async $getActiveIdentity(): Promise<{ activeDid: string }> {
try {
const result = await this.$dbQuery("SELECT activeDid FROM active_identity WHERE id = 1");
if (!result?.values?.length) {
logger.warn("[PlatformServiceMixin] Active identity table is empty - migration issue");
return { activeDid: "" };
}
const activeDid = result.values[0][0] as string | null;
// Handle null activeDid - auto-select first account
if (activeDid === null) {
const firstAccount = await this.$dbQuery("SELECT did FROM accounts ORDER BY dateCreated, did LIMIT 1");
if (firstAccount?.values?.length) {
const firstAccountDid = firstAccount.values[0][0] as string;
await this.$dbExec("UPDATE active_identity SET activeDid = ?, lastUpdated = datetime('now') WHERE id = 1", [firstAccountDid]);
return { activeDid: firstAccountDid };
}
logger.warn("[PlatformServiceMixin] No accounts available for auto-selection");
return { activeDid: "" };
}
// Validate activeDid exists in accounts
const accountExists = await this.$dbQuery("SELECT did FROM accounts WHERE did = ?", [activeDid]);
if (accountExists?.values?.length) {
return { activeDid };
}
// Clear corrupted activeDid and return empty
logger.warn("[PlatformServiceMixin] Active identity not found in accounts, clearing");
await this.$dbExec("UPDATE active_identity SET activeDid = NULL, lastUpdated = datetime('now') WHERE id = 1");
return { activeDid: "" };
} catch (error) {
logger.error("[PlatformServiceMixin] Error getting active identity:", error);
return { activeDid: "" };
}
}
```
### Key Implementation Notes
1. **Null Handling**: Auto-selects first account when `activeDid` is null
2. **Corruption Detection**: Clears invalid `activeDid` values
3. **Manual Timestamps**: Updates `lastUpdated` manually in code
4. **Error Handling**: Returns empty string on any error with appropriate logging
## Proposed Changes Impact
### 1. Foreign Key Constraint Change
**Current**: `ON DELETE SET NULL`**Proposed**: `ON DELETE RESTRICT`
- **Data Safety**: Prevents accidental deletion of active account
- **New Migration**: Add migration 005 to update constraint
### 2. Automatic Timestamp Updates
**Current**: Manual `lastUpdated` updates → **Proposed**: Database trigger
- **Code Simplification**: Remove manual timestamp updates from `PlatformServiceMixin`
- **Consistency**: Ensures `lastUpdated` is always current
### 3. Enhanced Indexing
**Current**: Single unique index on `id`**Proposed**: Additional index on `accounts(dateCreated, did)`
- **Performance Improvement**: Faster account selection queries
- **Minimal Risk**: Additive change only
## Implementation Strategy
### Add Migration 005
Since the `active_identity` table already exists and is working, we can add a new migration to enhance it:
```sql
{
name: "005_active_identity_enhancements",
sql: `
PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;
-- Recreate table with ON DELETE RESTRICT constraint
CREATE TABLE active_identity_new (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY CHECK (id = 1),
activeDid TEXT REFERENCES accounts(did) ON DELETE RESTRICT,
lastUpdated TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
);
-- Copy existing data
INSERT INTO active_identity_new (id, activeDid, lastUpdated)
SELECT id, activeDid, lastUpdated FROM active_identity;
-- Replace old table
DROP TABLE active_identity;
ALTER TABLE active_identity_new RENAME TO active_identity;
-- Add performance indexes
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_accounts_pick ON accounts(dateCreated, did);
-- Create automatic timestamp trigger
CREATE TRIGGER IF NOT EXISTS trg_active_identity_touch
AFTER UPDATE ON active_identity
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
UPDATE active_identity
SET lastUpdated = datetime('now')
WHERE id = 1;
END;
`
}
```
## Migration Service Updates Required
### Enhanced Validation Logic
**File**: `src/services/migrationService.ts`
**Migration 004 validation**:
- **Table existence**: `SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type='table' AND name='active_identity'`
- **Column structure**: `SELECT id, activeDid, lastUpdated FROM active_identity LIMIT 1`
- **Schema detection**: Uses `isSchemaAlreadyPresent()` to check if migration was already applied
**Migration 005 validation**:
- **Trigger existence**: `trg_active_identity_touch`
- **Performance index**: `idx_accounts_pick`
- **Foreign key constraint**: `ON DELETE RESTRICT`
- **Table recreation**: Verify table was successfully recreated
### Enhanced Schema Detection
**Migration 004 verification**:
- **Table structure**: Checks `active_identity` table exists and has correct columns
- **Data integrity**: Validates that the table can be queried successfully
- **Migration tracking**: Uses `isSchemaAlreadyPresent()` to avoid re-applying migrations
**Migration 005 verification**:
- **Table structure**: Enhanced constraints with `ON DELETE RESTRICT`
- **Trigger presence**: Automatic timestamp updates
- **Index presence**: Performance optimization
- **Data integrity**: Existing data was preserved during table recreation
## Risk Assessment
### Low Risk Changes
- **Performance Index**: Additive only, no data changes
- **Trigger Creation**: Additive only, improves consistency
- **New Migration**: Clean implementation, no modification of existing migrations
### Medium Risk Changes
- **Foreign Key Change**: `ON DELETE RESTRICT` is more restrictive
- **Table Recreation**: Requires careful data preservation
- **Validation Updates**: Need to test enhanced validation logic
### Mitigation Strategies
1. **Comprehensive Testing**: Test migration on various database states
2. **Data Preservation**: Verify existing data is copied correctly
3. **Clean Implementation**: New migration with all enhancements
4. **Validation Coverage**: Enhanced validation ensures correctness
5. **Rollback Plan**: Can drop new table and restore original if needed
## Implementation Timeline
### Phase 1: Migration Enhancement
- [ ] Add migration 005 with enhanced constraints
- [ ] Add enhanced validation logic
- [ ] Add enhanced schema detection logic
- [ ] Test migration on clean database
### Phase 2: Testing
- [ ] Test migration on existing databases
- [ ] Validate foreign key constraints work correctly
- [ ] Test trigger functionality
- [ ] Test performance improvements
- [ ] Verify data preservation during table recreation
### Phase 3: Deployment
- [ ] Deploy enhanced migration to development
- [ ] Monitor migration success rates
- [ ] Deploy to production
- [ ] Monitor for any issues
### Phase 4: Settings Table Cleanup
- [ ] Create migration 006 to clean up settings table
- [ ] Remove orphaned settings records (accountDid is null)
- [ ] Clear any remaining activeDid values in settings
- [ ] Consider removing activeDid column entirely (future task)
## Settings Table Cleanup Strategy
### Current State Analysis
The settings table currently contains:
- **Legacy activeDid column**: Still present from original design
- **Orphaned records**: Settings with `accountDid = null` that may be obsolete
- **Redundant data**: Some settings may have been copied unnecessarily
Based on team feedback, the cleanup should include:
1. **Remove orphaned settings records**:
```sql
DELETE FROM settings WHERE accountDid IS NULL;
```
2. **Clear any remaining activeDid values**:
```sql
UPDATE settings SET activeDid = NULL;
```
3. **Future consideration**: Remove the activeDid column entirely from settings table
### Migration 006: Settings Cleanup
```sql
{
name: "006_settings_cleanup",
sql: `
-- Remove orphaned settings records (accountDid is null)
DELETE FROM settings WHERE accountDid IS NULL;
-- Clear any remaining activeDid values in settings
UPDATE settings SET activeDid = NULL;
-- Optional: Consider removing the activeDid column entirely
-- ALTER TABLE settings DROP COLUMN activeDid;
`
}
```
### Benefits of Settings Cleanup
- **Reduced confusion**: Eliminates dual-purpose columns
- **Cleaner architecture**: Settings table focuses only on user preferences
- **Reduced storage**: Removes unnecessary data
- **Clearer separation**: Active identity vs. user settings are distinct concerns
### Risk Assessment: LOW
- **Data safety**: Only removes orphaned/obsolete records
- **Backward compatibility**: Maintains existing column structure
- **Rollback**: Easy to restore if needed
- **Testing**: Can be validated with existing data
## Code Changes Required
### Files to Modify
1. **`src/db-sql/migration.ts`** - Add migration 005 with enhanced constraints
2. **`src/db-sql/migration.ts`** - Add migration 006 for settings cleanup
3. **`src/services/migrationService.ts`** - Add enhanced validation and detection logic
4. **`src/utils/PlatformServiceMixin.ts`** - Remove manual timestamp updates
### Estimated Impact
- **Migration File**: ~25 lines added (migration 005) + ~15 lines added (migration 006)
- **Migration Service**: ~50 lines added (enhanced validation)
- **PlatformServiceMixin**: ~20 lines removed (manual timestamps)
- **Total**: ~90 lines changed
## Conclusion
**✅ IMPLEMENTATION COMPLETE**: The active identity upgrade plan has been successfully applied to the current project.
### Successfully Implemented
**✅ Migration Structure Updated**:
- **Migration 003**: `003_add_hasBackedUpSeed_to_settings` (assumes master deployment)
- **Migration 004**: `004_active_identity_and_seed_backup` (creates active_identity table)
- **All migrations are additional** - follows team member feedback exactly
**✅ Technical Implementation**:
- **Data Migration**: Preserves existing `activeDid` from settings table
- **Foreign Key Constraints**: `ON DELETE SET NULL` for data safety
- **iOS/Android Compatibility**: Confirmed with SQLCipher 4.9.0 (SQLite 3.44.2)
- **Migration Service**: Updated validation and schema detection logic
**✅ Code Quality**:
- **TypeScript**: All type errors resolved
- **Linting**: No linting errors
- **Team Guidance**: Follows "additional migrations only" requirement
### Next Steps (Future Enhancements)
The foundation is now in place for future enhancements:
1. **Migration 005**: `005_active_identity_enhancements` (ON DELETE RESTRICT, triggers, indexes)
2. **Migration 006**: `006_settings_cleanup` (remove orphaned settings, clear legacy activeDid)
3. **Code Simplification**: Remove manual timestamp updates from PlatformServiceMixin
### Current Status
**Migration 004 is ready for deployment** and will:
- ✅ Create `active_identity` table with proper constraints
- ✅ Migrate existing `activeDid` data from settings
- ✅ Work identically on iOS and Android
- ✅ Follow team member feedback for additional migrations only
**Key Point**: All migrations are **additional** - no editing of previous migrations since master code has been deployed. This ensures compatibility and proper testing.

# Engineering Directive v2 — Active Pointer + Smart Deletion Pattern (hardened)
**Author**: Matthew Raymer
**Date**: 2025-01-27
**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Production-grade engineering directive for implementing smart deletion patterns
## Overview
This supersedes the previous draft and is **copy-pasteable** for any `<model>`. It keeps UX smooth, guarantees data integrity, and adds production-grade safeguards (bootstrapping, races, soft deletes, bulk ops, and testability). Built on your prior pattern.
## 0) Objectives (non-negotiable)
1. Exactly **one active `<model>`** pointer (or `NULL` during first-run).
2. **Block deletion** when it would leave **zero** `<models>`.
3. If deleting the **active** item, **atomically re-point** to a deterministic **next** item **before** delete.
4. Enforce with **app logic** + **FK `RESTRICT`** (and `ON UPDATE CASCADE` if `ref` can change).
---
## 1) Schema / Migration (SQLite)
```sql
-- <timestamp>__active_<model>.sql
PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;
-- Stable external key on <models> (e.g., did/slug/uuid)
-- ALTER TABLE <models> ADD COLUMN ref TEXT UNIQUE NOT NULL; -- if missing
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS active_<model> (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY CHECK (id = 1),
activeRef TEXT UNIQUE, -- allow NULL on first run
lastUpdated TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
FOREIGN KEY (activeRef) REFERENCES <models>(ref)
ON UPDATE CASCADE
ON DELETE RESTRICT
);
-- Seed singleton row (idempotent)
INSERT INTO active_<model> (id, activeRef)
SELECT 1, NULL
WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM active_<model> WHERE id = 1);
```
**Rules**
* **Never** default `activeRef` to `''`—use `NULL` for "no selection yet".
* Ensure `PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON` for **every connection**.
---
## 2) Data Access API (TypeScript)
```ts
// Required DAL
async function getAllRefs(): Promise<string[]> { /* SELECT ref FROM <models> ORDER BY created_at, ref */ }
async function getRefById(id: number): Promise<string> { /* SELECT ref FROM <models> WHERE id=? */ }
async function getActiveRef(): Promise<string|null> { /* SELECT activeRef FROM active_<model> WHERE id=1 */ }
async function setActiveRef(ref: string|null): Promise<void> { /* UPDATE active_<model> SET activeRef=?, lastUpdated=datetime('now') WHERE id=1 */ }
async function deleteById(id: number): Promise<void> { /* DELETE FROM <models> WHERE id=? */ }
async function countModels(): Promise<number> { /* SELECT COUNT(*) FROM <models> */ }
// Deterministic "next"
function pickNextRef(all: string[], current?: string): string {
const sorted = [...all].sort();
if (!current) return sorted[0];
const i = sorted.indexOf(current);
return sorted[(i + 1) % sorted.length];
}
```
---
## 3) Smart Delete (Atomic, Race-safe)
```ts
async function smartDeleteModelById(id: number, notify: (m: string) => void) {
await db.transaction(async trx => {
const total = await countModels();
if (total <= 1) {
notify("Cannot delete the last item. Keep at least one.");
throw new Error("blocked:last-item");
}
const refToDelete = await getRefById(id);
const activeRef = await getActiveRef();
if (activeRef === refToDelete) {
const all = (await getAllRefs()).filter(r => r !== refToDelete);
const next = pickNextRef(all, refToDelete);
await setActiveRef(next);
notify(`Switched active to ${next} before deletion.`);
}
await deleteById(id); // RESTRICT prevents orphaning if we forgot to switch
});
// Post-tx: emit events / refresh UI
}
```
---
## 4) Bootstrapping & Repair
```ts
async function ensureActiveSelected() {
const active = await getActiveRef();
const all = await getAllRefs();
if (active === null && all.length > 0) {
await setActiveRef(pickNextRef(all)); // first stable choice
}
}
```
Invoke after migrations and after bulk imports.
---
## 5) Concurrency & Crash Safety
* **Always** wrap "switch → delete" inside a **single transaction**.
* Treat any FK violation as a **logic regression**; surface telemetry (`fk:restrict`).
---
## 6) Soft Deletes (if applicable)
If `<models>` uses `deleted_at`:
* Replace `DELETE` with `UPDATE <models> SET deleted_at = datetime('now') WHERE id=?`.
* Add a **partial uniqueness** strategy for `ref`:
* SQLite workaround: make `ref` unique globally and never reuse; or maintain a shadow `refs` ledger to prevent reuse.
* Adjust `getAllRefs()` to filter `WHERE deleted_at IS NULL`.
---
## 7) Bulk Ops & Imports
* For batch deletes:
1. Compute survivors.
2. If a batch would remove **all** survivors → **refuse**.
3. If the **active** is included, precompute a deterministic **new active** and set it **once** before deleting.
* After imports, run `ensureActiveSelected()`.
---
## 8) Multi-Scope Actives (optional)
To support **one active per workspace/tenant**:
* Replace singleton with scoped pointer:
```sql
CREATE TABLE active_<model> (
scope TEXT NOT NULL, -- e.g., workspace_id
activeRef TEXT,
lastUpdated TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
PRIMARY KEY (scope),
FOREIGN KEY (activeRef) REFERENCES <models>(ref) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT
);
```
* All APIs gain `scope` parameter; transactions remain unchanged in spirit.
---
## 9) UX Contract
* Delete confirmation must state:
* Deleting the **active** item will **auto-switch**.
* Deleting the **last** item is **not allowed**.
* Keep list ordering aligned with `pickNextRef` strategy for predictability.
---
## 10) Observability
* Log categories:
* `blocked:last-item`
* `fk:restrict`
* `repair:auto-selected-active`
* `active:switch:pre-delete`
* Emit metrics counters; attach `<model>` and (if used) `scope`.
---
## 11) Test Matrix (must pass)
1. **Non-active delete** (≥2): deleted; active unchanged.
2. **Active delete** (≥2): active switches deterministically, then delete succeeds.
3. **Last item delete** (==1): blocked with message.
4. **First-run**: 0 items → `activeRef` stays `NULL`; add first → `ensureActiveSelected()` selects it.
5. **Ref update** (if allowed): `activeRef` follows via `ON UPDATE CASCADE`.
6. **Soft delete** mode: filters respected; invariants preserved.
7. **Bulk delete** that includes active but not all: pre-switch then delete set.
8. **Foreign keys disabled** (fault injection): tests must fail to surface missing PRAGMA.
---
## 12) Rollout & Rollback
* **Feature-flag** the new deletion path.
* Migrations are **idempotent**; ship `ensureActiveSelected()` with them.
* Keep a pre-migration backup for `<models>` on first rollout.
* Rollback leaves `active_<model>` table harmlessly present.
---
## 13) Replace-Me Cheatsheet
* `<model>` → singular (e.g., `project`)
* `<models>` → plural table (e.g., `projects`)
* `ref` → stable external key (`did` | `slug` | `uuid`)
---
**Outcome:** You get **predictable UX**, **atomic state changes**, and **hard integrity guarantees** across single- or multi-scope actives, with clear tests and telemetry to keep it honest.

-- Migration 005: Fix foreign key constraint to ON DELETE RESTRICT
{
name: "005_active_identity_constraint_fix",
sql: `
PRAGMA foreign_keys = ON;
-- Recreate table with ON DELETE RESTRICT constraint (SECURITY FIX)
CREATE TABLE active_identity_new (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY CHECK (id = 1),
activeDid TEXT REFERENCES accounts(did) ON DELETE RESTRICT,
lastUpdated TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now'))
);
-- Copy existing data
INSERT INTO active_identity_new (id, activeDid, lastUpdated)
SELECT id, activeDid, lastUpdated FROM active_identity;
-- Replace old table
DROP TABLE active_identity;
ALTER TABLE active_identity_new RENAME TO active_identity;
-- Recreate indexes
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_active_identity_single_record ON active_identity(id);
`
}
```
### Updated Implementation Plan

# ActiveDid Migration Plan - Implementation Guide
**Author**: Matthew Raymer
**Date**: 2025-09-03T06:40:54Z
**Status**: 🚀 **ACTIVE MIGRATION** - API Layer Complete, Component Updates Complete ✅
## Objective
Move the `activeDid` field from the `settings` table to a dedicated `active_identity` table to improve database architecture, prevent data corruption, and separate identity selection from user preferences.
## Result
This document provides the specific implementation steps required to complete the ActiveDid migration with all necessary code changes.
## Use/Run
Follow this implementation checklist step-by-step to complete the migration.
## Context & Scope
- **In scope**: Database migration, API updates, component updates, testing
- **Out of scope**: UI changes, authentication flow changes, MASTER_SETTINGS_KEY elimination (future improvement)
## Critical Vue Reactivity Bug Discovery
### Issue
During testing of the ActiveDid migration, a critical Vue reactivity bug was discovered:
**Problem**: The `newDirectOffersActivityNumber` element in HomeView.vue fails to render correctly without a watcher on `numNewOffersToUser`.
**Symptoms**:
- Element not found in DOM even when `numNewOffersToUser` has correct value
- Test failures with "element not found" errors
- Inconsistent rendering behavior
**Root Cause**: Unknown Vue reactivity issue where property changes don't trigger proper template updates
**Workaround**: A watcher on `numNewOffersToUser` with debug logging is required:
```typescript
@Watch("numNewOffersToUser")
onNumNewOffersToUserChange(newValue: number, oldValue: number) {
logger.debug("[HomeView] numNewOffersToUser changed", {
oldValue,
newValue,
willRender: !!newValue,
timestamp: new Date().toISOString()
});
}
```
**Impact**: This watcher must remain in the codebase until the underlying Vue reactivity issue is resolved.
**Files Affected**: `src/views/HomeView.vue`
### Investigation Needed
- [ ] Investigate why Vue reactivity is not working correctly
- [ ] Check for race conditions in component lifecycle
- [ ] Verify if this affects other components
- [ ] Consider Vue version upgrade or configuration changes

## Required Code Changes
### 1. Database Migration ✅ COMPLETE
```typescript
// Already added to MIGRATIONS array in src/db-sql/migration.ts
{
name: "003_active_did_separate_table",
sql: `
-- Create new active_identity table with proper constraints
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS active_identity (
id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY CHECK (id = 1),
activeDid TEXT NOT NULL,
lastUpdated TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT (datetime('now')),
FOREIGN KEY (activeDid) REFERENCES accounts(did) ON DELETE CASCADE
);
-- Add performance indexes
CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_active_identity_activeDid ON active_identity(activeDid);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_active_identity_single_record ON active_identity(id);
-- Insert default record (will be updated during migration)
INSERT OR IGNORE INTO active_identity (id, activeDid, lastUpdated) VALUES (1, '', datetime('now'));
-- MIGRATE EXISTING DATA: Copy activeDid from settings to active_identity
-- This prevents data loss when migration runs on existing databases
UPDATE active_identity
SET activeDid = (SELECT activeDid FROM settings WHERE id = 1),
lastUpdated = datetime('now')
WHERE id = 1
AND EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM settings WHERE id = 1 AND activeDid IS NOT NULL AND activeDid != '');
`,
},
```
### 2. $getActiveIdentity() Method ✅ EXISTS
```typescript
// Already exists in PlatformServiceMixin.ts with correct return type
async $getActiveIdentity(): Promise<{ activeDid: string }> {
try {
const result = await this.$dbQuery(
"SELECT activeDid FROM active_identity WHERE id = 1"
);
if (result?.values?.length) {
const activeDid = result.values[0][0] as string;
// Validate activeDid exists in accounts
if (activeDid) {
const accountExists = await this.$dbQuery(
"SELECT did FROM accounts WHERE did = ?",
[activeDid]
);
if (accountExists?.values?.length) {
return { activeDid };
} else {
// Clear corrupted activeDid
await this.$dbExec(
"UPDATE active_identity SET activeDid = '', lastUpdated = datetime('now') WHERE id = 1"
);
return { activeDid: "" };
}
}
}
return { activeDid: "" };
} catch (error) {
logger.error("[PlatformServiceMixin] Error getting active identity:", error);
return { activeDid: "" };
}
}
```
### 3. Update $accountSettings Method
```typescript
// Update in PlatformServiceMixin.ts
async $accountSettings(did?: string, defaults: Settings = {}): Promise<Settings> {
try {
// Get settings without activeDid (unchanged logic)
const settings = await this.$getMasterSettings(defaults);
if (!settings) {
return defaults;
}
// Get activeDid from new table (new logic)
const activeIdentity = await this.$getActiveIdentity();
// Return combined result (maintains backward compatibility)
return { ...settings, activeDid: activeIdentity.activeDid };
} catch (error) {
logger.error("[Settings Trace] ❌ Error in $accountSettings:", error);
return defaults;
}
}
```
### 4. Update $updateActiveDid Method
```typescript
// Update in PlatformServiceMixin.ts
async $updateActiveDid(newDid: string | null): Promise<boolean> {
try {
if (newDid === null) {
// Clear active identity in both tables
await this.$dbExec(
"UPDATE active_identity SET activeDid = '', lastUpdated = datetime('now') WHERE id = 1"
);
// Keep legacy field in sync (backward compatibility)
await this.$dbExec(
"UPDATE settings SET activeDid = '' WHERE id = ?",
[MASTER_SETTINGS_KEY]
);
} else {
// Validate DID exists before setting
const accountExists = await this.$dbQuery(
"SELECT did FROM accounts WHERE did = ?",
[newDid]
);
if (!accountExists?.values?.length) {
logger.error(`[PlatformServiceMixin] Cannot set activeDid to non-existent DID: ${newDid}`);
return false;
}
// Update active identity in new table
await this.$dbExec(
"UPDATE active_identity SET activeDid = ?, lastUpdated = datetime('now') WHERE id = 1",
[newDid]
);
// Keep legacy field in sync (backward compatibility)
await this.$dbExec(
"UPDATE settings SET activeDid = ? WHERE id = ?",
[newDid, MASTER_SETTINGS_KEY]
);
}
// Update internal tracking
await this._updateInternalActiveDid(newDid);
return true;
} catch (error) {
logger.error("[PlatformServiceMixin] Error updating activeDid:", error);
return false;
}
}
```
### 5. Component Updates Required
**35 components need this pattern change:**
```typescript
// CURRENT PATTERN (replace in all components):
this.activeDid = settings.activeDid || "";
// NEW PATTERN (use in all components):
// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-explicit-any
const activeIdentity = await (this as any).$getActiveIdentity();
this.activeDid = activeIdentity.activeDid || "";
```
**Components requiring updates:**
#### Views (28 components)

- `src/components/OnboardingDialog.vue` (line 272)
- `src/components/ImageMethodDialog.vue` (line 502)
- `src/components/FeedFilters.vue` (line 89)
**Implementation Strategy:**
1. **Systematic Replacement**: Use grep search to find all instances
2. **Pattern Matching**: Replace `this.activeDid = settings.activeDid` with new pattern
3. **Error Handling**: Ensure proper error handling in each component
4. **Testing**: Test each component individually after update
**Example Component Update:**
```typescript
// BEFORE (in any component):
private async initializeSettings() {
const settings = await this.$accountSettings();
this.activeDid = settings.activeDid || "";
this.apiServer = settings.apiServer || "";
}
// AFTER (in any component):
private async initializeSettings() {
const settings = await this.$accountSettings();
const activeIdentity = await this.$getActiveIdentity();
this.activeDid = activeIdentity.activeDid || "";
this.apiServer = settings.apiServer || "";
}
```
**Alternative Pattern (if settings still needed):**
```typescript
// If component needs both settings and activeDid:
private async initializeSettings() {
const settings = await this.$accountSettings();
const activeIdentity = await this.$getActiveIdentity();
// Use activeDid from new table
this.activeDid = activeIdentity.activeDid || "";
// Use other settings from settings table
this.apiServer = settings.apiServer || "";
this.partnerApiServer = settings.partnerApiServer || "";
// ... other settings
}
```
## What Works (Evidence)

## Risks, Limits, Assumptions
- **Data Loss Risk**: Migration failure could lose activeDid values
- **Breaking Changes**: API updates required in PlatformServiceMixin
- **Testing Overhead**: All platforms must be tested with new structure
- **Component Updates**: 35+ components need individual updates and testing
## Rollback Strategy
### Schema Rollback
```sql
-- If migration fails, restore original schema
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS active_identity;
```
### Data Rollback
```typescript
// Rollback function to restore activeDid to settings table
async function rollbackActiveDidMigration(): Promise<boolean> {
try {
const activeIdentityResult = await dbQuery(
"SELECT activeDid FROM active_identity WHERE id = 1"
);
if (activeIdentityResult?.values?.length) {
const activeDid = activeIdentityResult.values[0][0] as string;
await dbExec(
"UPDATE settings SET activeDid = ? WHERE id = ?",
[activeDid, MASTER_SETTINGS_KEY]
);
return true;
}
return false;
} catch (error) {
logger.error("[Rollback] Failed to restore activeDid:", error);
return false;
}
}
```
## Next Steps
| Task | Exit Criteria | Priority |
|------|---------------|----------|
| **Update $accountSettings() method** | Method calls $getActiveIdentity and combines with settings | ✅ COMPLETE |
| **Implement $updateActiveDid() dual-write** | Method updates both active_identity and settings tables | ✅ COMPLETE |
| **Start application in browser** | Application loads and initializes IndexedDB database | ✅ COMPLETE |
| **Inspect IndexedDB via DevTools** | Verify active_identity table exists and contains data | ✅ COMPLETE |
| **Update first component** | One component successfully uses new API pattern | ✅ COMPLETE (HomeView.vue) |
| **Systematic component updates** | All 26 remaining components use new API pattern (with test:web after each) | 🟢 HIGH |
| **Test all platforms** | Web, Electron, iOS, Android platforms verified working | 🟡 MEDIUM |
| **Performance optimization** | Reduce excessive $getActiveIdentity() calls | 🟡 MEDIUM |
**Critical Blocker**: API layer complete. Ready to proceed with component updates.
## Migration Execution Rule
### **One Component + Test Pattern**
**Rule**: After migrating each component, run `npm run test:web` and `npm run lint-fix` to verify the change doesn't break existing functionality and meets code standards.
**Workflow**:
1. **Migrate one component** - Update to use `$getActiveIdentity()` pattern
2. **Run lint-fix** - Ensure code meets project standards
3. **Run test:web** - Verify no regressions introduced
4. **Commit if passing** - Only commit after tests and linting pass
5. **Repeat** - Move to next component
**Benefits**:
- Catch issues immediately after each change
- Maintain code quality throughout migration
- Easy rollback if problems arise
- Systematic progress tracking
**Exit Criteria**: All 26 components migrated with passing tests
## Performance Observations
### Excessive API Calls Detected
The console log shows `$getActiveIdentity()` being called very frequently (multiple times per component mount). This suggests:
- Components may be calling the API more than necessary
- Could be optimized for better performance
- Not a blocker, but worth monitoring during component updates
### Recommended Optimization Strategy
1. **Audit component lifecycle** - Ensure API calls happen only when needed
2. **Implement caching** - Consider short-term caching of activeDid values
3. **Batch updates** - Group related API calls where possible
4. **Monitor performance** - Track API call frequency during component updates
## Future Improvement: MASTER_SETTINGS_KEY Elimination
**Not critical for this task** but logged for future improvement:
```typescript
// Current: WHERE id = "1"
// Future: WHERE accountDid IS NULL
// This eliminates the confusing concept of "master" settings
// and uses a cleaner pattern for default settings
```

# 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
**Objective**: Establish single source of truth for migration SQL
**Actions**:
- ✅ Remove `statements` array from migration 004 definition
- ✅ Keep only the single `sql` field as the authoritative source
- ✅ Remove all recovery logic that duplicates SQL statements
- ✅ Ensure migration SQL is self-contained and atomic
**Deliverables**:
- ✅ Clean migration definition with single SQL source
- ✅ Removed duplicate SQL definitions
- ✅ Eliminated recovery logic complexity
### Phase 2: Fix Database Result Handling ✅ COMPLETED
**Objective**: Make result handling database-agnostic
**Actions**:
- ✅ Remove DatabaseResult type assumptions from migration code
- ✅ Implement proper result extraction based on actual database service
- ✅ Use the `extractMigrationNames` function pattern consistently
- ✅ Make result handling work with any database service implementation
- ✅ Normalize results from AbsurdSqlDatabaseService and CapacitorPlatformService into shared internal format
**Deliverables**:
- ✅ Database-agnostic result handling
- ✅ Consistent result extraction across all database services
- ✅ Removed type casting assumptions
- ✅ Shared internal result format for all database services
### Phase 3: Ensure Atomic Execution ✅ COMPLETED
**Objective**: Guarantee migration succeeds completely or fails completely
**Actions**:
- ✅ Modify migration service to execute single SQL block only
- ✅ Remove individual statement execution logic
- ✅ Implement proper error handling that prevents partial execution
- ✅ Ensure migration tracking is accurate
- ✅ Provide explicit rollback/restore instructions for migration failures
- ✅ Ensure migration logs indicate failure cause and required operator action
**Deliverables**:
- ✅ Atomic migration execution
- ✅ Proper error handling
- ✅ Accurate migration tracking
- ✅ Clear recovery procedures
### Phase 4: Remove Excessive Debugging ✅ COMPLETED
**Objective**: Eliminate performance overhead from debugging code
**Actions**:
- ✅ Remove detailed logging that slows startup
- ✅ Keep only essential error logging
- ✅ Remove complex validation logic that runs on every startup
- ✅ Move debugging code to test page or development-only mode
**Deliverables**:
- ✅ Faster application startup
- ✅ Cleaner production code
- ✅ Debugging available only when needed
### Phase 5: Testing & Validation
**Objective**: Ensure simplified migration works correctly
**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
- No duplicate execution
- Proper error handling
- Data integrity maintained
- Validated recovery procedures
- Edge case coverage confirmed
- Documented test results as artifacts for future regression testing
## 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.
## Success Criteria
- [ ] Migration 004 SQL defined in single location only
- [ ] Migration executes atomically (all-or-nothing)
- [ ] Database result handling works with all database services
- [ ] No duplicate statement execution possible
- [ ] Startup time reduced by at least 20% compared to pre-fix baseline (measured via cold app start profiling logs)
- [ ] Migration tracking is accurate and reliable
- [ ] Error handling is clear and actionable
## 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
- Seed datasets or controlled test states for reproducible validation
- Snapshot/restore utilities for rollback testing
## 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

# TimeSafari Identity Verification Party System Plan
## Objectives
* Maintain strict conformity with TimeSafari's existing **DID, contact, and identity management**.
* Ensure **offline-first reliability** with background sync and retry logic.
* Provide **minimal, mobile-first UX** with single-tap core actions and QR-driven flows.
## Architecture
* Use a **single atomic migration** (`005_verification_party_system.sql`) following `registerMigration()` + `MIGRATIONS` array pattern.
* Standardize timestamps (`dateCreated`, `dateVerified`) in **ISO-8601 UTC**.
* Add `verification_session_logs` for audit trail and debugging.
## Workflow
* **Pre-Party**: Enforce RSVP via DID signing challenge; cache DID QR locally.
* **In-Party**: Dual-mode verification (Fast Scan + Deep Verify) with **trust presets**.
* **Post-Party**: Queue verifications for delayed sync; issue signed receipts; auto-create verified contacts.
## Services
* `VerificationPartyService`: Monolithic class aligned with existing service pattern.
* `DidVerificationService`: Pluggable methods (QR, NFC, manual, photo ID).
* `TrustNetworkService`: Add caching + **trust decay** unless renewed.
## Security
* Store **hashes of evidence** only (not raw PII).
* Encrypt data with **per-user derived keys**.
* Provide **per-verification sharing controls** (private, party-only, global).
## UI/UX
* Single-tap flows for RSVP, scan, verify.
* Embed **trust level criteria** in UI to reduce inconsistency.
* Optimize QR scanning and trust graph for **battery savings**.
* Follow existing **i18n service** for multi-language support.
## Priorities
1. Migration + offline queue
2. Dual-mode verification UI
3. Trust graph caching + decay
4. Privacy-hardened evidence handling
5. Notification constants + helper integration

`
}
```

## TypeScript Interfaces
### Required Interface Definitions
Add to `src/interfaces/verification-party.ts`:
```typescript
/**
* Verification Party entity interface
*/
export interface VerificationParty {
id: number;
partyId: string;
organizerDid: string;
name: string;
description?: string;
location?: string;
scheduledDate?: string;
maxParticipants: number;
status: 'planned' | 'active' | 'completed' | 'cancelled';
dateCreated: string;
}
/**
* Party Participant entity interface
*/
export interface PartyParticipant {
id: number;
partyId: string;
participantDid: string;
status: 'invited' | 'confirmed' | 'attended' | 'verified';
verificationCount: number;
rsvpDate?: string;
checkInDate?: string;
dateCreated: string;
}
/**
* DID Verification entity interface
*/
export interface DidVerification {
id: number;
verifierDid: string;
verifiedDid: string;
partyId?: string;
verificationMethod: 'qr_scan' | 'manual_entry' | 'photo_id' | 'nfc';
verificationNotes?: string;
verificationLevel: number; // 1-5 trust level
verificationEvidenceHash?: string; // Hash of verification evidence
dateVerified: string;
}
/**
* Verification Session Log entity interface
*/
export interface VerificationSessionLog {
id: number;
partyId: string;
sessionAction: 'party_started' | 'participant_joined' | 'verification_completed' | 'sync_attempted';
participantDid?: string;
actionData?: string; // JSON blob of action-specific data
dateCreated: string;
}
```
---
## PlatformServiceMixin Integration
### Required Methods
Add to `PlatformServiceMixin`:
```typescript
// Add to PlatformServiceMixin methods
async $insertVerificationParty(party: Partial<VerificationParty>): Promise<boolean> {
return this.$insertEntity('verification_parties', party, [
'partyId', 'organizerDid', 'name', 'description', 'location',
'scheduledDate', 'maxParticipants', 'status', 'dateCreated'
]);
}
async $insertPartyParticipant(participant: Partial<PartyParticipant>): Promise<boolean> {
return this.$insertEntity('party_participants', participant, [
'partyId', 'participantDid', 'status', 'verificationCount',
'rsvpDate', 'checkInDate', 'dateCreated'
]);
}
async $insertDidVerification(verification: Partial<DidVerification>): Promise<boolean> {
return this.$insertEntity('did_verifications', verification, [
'verifierDid', 'verifiedDid', 'partyId', 'verificationMethod',
'verificationNotes', 'verificationLevel', 'verificationEvidenceHash', 'dateVerified'
]);
}
async $getVerificationParties(): Promise<VerificationParty[]> {
const results = await this.$dbQuery('SELECT * FROM verification_parties ORDER BY dateCreated DESC');
return this.$mapResults(results, (row) => ({
id: row[0] as number,
partyId: row[1] as string,
organizerDid: row[2] as string,
name: row[3] as string,
description: row[4] as string,
location: row[5] as string,
scheduledDate: row[6] as string,
maxParticipants: row[7] as number,
status: row[8] as VerificationParty['status'],
dateCreated: row[9] as string,
}));
}
async $getPartyParticipants(partyId: string): Promise<PartyParticipant[]> {
const results = await this.$dbQuery(
'SELECT * FROM party_participants WHERE partyId = ? ORDER BY dateCreated DESC',
[partyId]
);
return this.$mapResults(results, (row) => ({
id: row[0] as number,
partyId: row[1] as string,
participantDid: row[2] as string,
status: row[3] as PartyParticipant['status'],
verificationCount: row[4] as number,
rsvpDate: row[5] as string,
checkInDate: row[6] as string,
dateCreated: row[7] as string,
}));
}
```
---
## Notification Constants
### Required Notification Constants
Add to `src/constants/notifications.ts`:
```typescript
// Used in: VerificationPartyCreateView.vue (createParty method)
export const NOTIFY_PARTY_CREATED = {
title: "Verification Party Created",
message: "Your verification party has been created successfully."
};
// Used in: VerificationPartyJoinView.vue (joinParty method)
export const NOTIFY_PARTY_JOINED = {
title: "Party Joined",
message: "You have successfully joined the verification party."
};
// Used in: VerificationPartyActiveView.vue (submitManualVerification method)
export const NOTIFY_VERIFICATION_COMPLETED = {
title: "Identity Verified",
message: "You have successfully verified this person's identity."
};
// Used in: VerificationPartyService.ts (syncVerifications method)
export const NOTIFY_VERIFICATION_SYNCED = {
title: "Verifications Synced",
message: "Your verification data has been synchronized successfully."
};
// Used in: VerificationPartyActiveView.vue (error handling)
export const NOTIFY_VERIFICATION_FAILED = {
title: "Verification Failed",
message: "There was an error completing the verification. Please try again."
};
```
### Notification Helper Integration
Use existing `createNotifyHelpers()` pattern in components:
```typescript
// In VerificationPartyCreateView.vue
const { success, error } = createNotifyHelpers(this.$notify);
// Usage
success("Party created successfully!");
error("Failed to create party. Please try again.");
```
---
## Component Implementation Pattern
### VerificationPartyCreateView.vue Structure
```typescript
@Component({
name: "VerificationPartyCreateView",
components: {
QuickNav,
TopMessage,
EntityIcon,
},
mixins: [PlatformServiceMixin],
})
export default class VerificationPartyCreateView extends Vue {
// Use PlatformServiceMixin methods
async createParty(): Promise<void> {
const partyData: Partial<VerificationParty> = {
partyId: `party_${Date.now()}_${Math.random().toString(36).substr(2, 9)}`,
organizerDid: (await this.$getActiveIdentity()).activeDid,
name: this.partyForm.name,
description: this.partyForm.description,
location: this.partyForm.location,
scheduledDate: this.partyForm.scheduledDate,
maxParticipants: this.partyForm.maxParticipants,
status: 'planned',
dateCreated: new Date().toISOString(),
};
const success = await this.$insertVerificationParty(partyData);
if (success) {
this.$notify(NOTIFY_PARTY_CREATED);
this.$router.push(`/verification-party/${partyData.partyId}`);
} else {
this.$notify(NOTIFY_VERIFICATION_FAILED);
}
}
}
```
