python script files must always have a blank line
remove whitespace at the end of lines
never git commit automatically. always preview commit message to user allow copy and paste by the user
use system date command to timestamp all interactions with accurate date and time
✅ Preferred Commit Message Format
Short summary in the first line (concise and high-level).
Avoid long commit bodies unless truly necessary.
✅ Valued Content in Commit Messages
Specific fixes or features.
Symptoms or problems that were fixed.
Notes about tests passing or TS/linting errors being resolved (briefly).
❌ Avoid in Commit Messages
Vague terms: “improved”, “enhanced”, “better” — especially from AI.
Minor changes: small doc tweaks, one-liners, cleanup, or lint fixes.
Redundant blurbs: repeated across files or too generic.
Multiple overlapping purposes in a single commit — prefer narrow, focused commits.
Long explanations of what can be deduced from good in-line code comments.
Guiding Principle
Let code and inline documentation speak for themselves. Use commits to highlight what isn't obvious from reading the code.

/**
* TimeSafari Database Migration Definitions
*
* This module defines all database schema migrations for the TimeSafari application.
* Each migration represents a specific version of the database schema and contains
* the SQL statements needed to upgrade from the previous version.
*
* ## Migration Philosophy
*
* TimeSafari follows a structured approach to database migrations:
*
* 1. **Sequential Numbering**: Migrations are numbered sequentially (001, 002, etc.)
* 2. **Descriptive Names**: Each migration has a clear, descriptive name
* 3. **Single Purpose**: Each migration focuses on one logical schema change
* 4. **Forward-Only**: Migrations are designed to move the schema forward
* 5. **Idempotent Design**: The migration system handles re-runs gracefully
*
* ## Migration Structure
*
* Each migration follows this pattern:
* ```typescript
* {
* name: "XXX_descriptive_name",
* sql: "SQL statements to execute"
* }
* ```
*
* ## Database Architecture
*
* TimeSafari uses SQLite for local data storage with the following core tables:
*
* - **accounts**: User identity and cryptographic keys
* - **secret**: Encrypted application secrets
* - **settings**: Application configuration and preferences
* - **contacts**: User's contact network and trust relationships
* - **logs**: Application event logging and debugging
* - **temp**: Temporary data storage for operations
*
* ## Privacy and Security
*
* The database schema is designed with privacy-first principles:
* - User identifiers (DIDs) are kept separate from personal data
* - Cryptographic keys are stored securely
* - Contact visibility is user-controlled
* - All sensitive data can be encrypted at rest
*
* ## Usage
*
* This file is automatically loaded during application startup. The migrations
* are registered with the migration service and applied as needed based on the
* current database state.
*
* @author Matthew Raymer
* @version 1.0.0
* @since 2025-06-30

// Generate a random secret for the secret table
// It's not really secure to maintain the secret next to the user's data.
// However, until we have better hooks into a real wallet or reliable secure
// storage, we'll do this for user convenience. As they sign more records
// and integrate with more people, they'll value it more and want to be more
// secure, so we'll prompt them to take steps to back it up, properly encrypt,
// etc. At the beginning, we'll prompt for a password, then we'll prompt for a
// PWA so it's not in a browser... and then we hope to be integrated with a
// real wallet or something else more secure.
// One might ask: why encrypt at all? We figure a basic encryption is better
// than none. Plus, we expect to support their own password or keystore or
// external wallet as better signing options in the future, so it's gonna be
// important to have the structure where each account access might require
// user action.
// (Once upon a time we stored the secret in localStorage, but it frequently
// got erased, even though the IndexedDB still had the identity data. This
// ended up throwing lots of errors to the user... and they'd end up in a state
// where they couldn't take action because they couldn't unlock that identity.)
/**
* Generate a cryptographically secure random secret for the secret table

* Note: This approach stores the secret alongside user data for convenience.
* In a production environment with hardware security modules or dedicated

* their trust networks and sign more records, they should migrate to more
* secure key management solutions.

/**
* Migration 001: Initial Database Schema
*
* This migration creates the foundational database schema for TimeSafari.
* It establishes the core tables needed for user identity management,
* contact networks, application settings, and operational logging.
*
* ## Tables Created:
*
* ### accounts
* Stores user identities and cryptographic key pairs. Each account represents
* a unique user identity with associated cryptographic capabilities.
*
* - `id`: Primary key for internal references
* - `did`: Decentralized Identifier (unique across the network)
* - `privateKeyHex`: Private key for signing and encryption (hex-encoded)
* - `publicKeyHex`: Public key for verification and encryption (hex-encoded)
* - `derivationPath`: BIP44 derivation path for hierarchical key generation
* - `mnemonic`: BIP39 mnemonic phrase for key recovery
*
* ### secret
* Stores encrypted application secrets and sensitive configuration data.
* This table contains cryptographic material needed for secure operations.
*
* - `id`: Primary key (always 1 for singleton pattern)
* - `hex`: Encrypted secret data in hexadecimal format
*
* ### settings
* Application-wide configuration and user preferences. This table stores
* both system settings and user-customizable preferences.
*
* - `name`: Setting name/key (unique identifier)
* - `value`: Setting value (JSON-serializable data)
*
* ### contacts
* User's contact network and trust relationships. This table manages the
* social graph and trust network that enables TimeSafari's collaborative features.
*
* - `did`: Contact's Decentralized Identifier (primary key)
* - `name`: Display name for the contact
* - `publicKeyHex`: Contact's public key for verification
* - `endorserApiServer`: API server URL for this contact's endorsements
* - `registered`: Timestamp when contact was first added
* - `lastViewedClaimId`: Last claim/activity viewed from this contact
* - `seenWelcomeScreen`: Whether contact has completed onboarding
*
* ### logs
* Application event logging for debugging and audit trails. This table
* captures important application events for troubleshooting and monitoring.
*
* - `id`: Auto-incrementing log entry ID
* - `message`: Log message content
* - `level`: Log level (error, warn, info, debug)
* - `timestamp`: When the log entry was created
* - `context`: Additional context data (JSON format)
*
* ### temp
* Temporary data storage for multi-step operations. This table provides
* transient storage for operations that span multiple user interactions.
*
* - `id`: Unique identifier for the temporary data
* - `data`: JSON-serialized temporary data
* - `created`: Timestamp when data was stored
* - `expires`: Optional expiration timestamp
*
* ## Initial Data
*
* The migration also populates initial configuration:
* - Default endorser API server URL
* - Application database secret
* - Welcome screen tracking

/**
* Migration 002: Add Content Visibility Control to Contacts
*
* This migration enhances the contacts table with privacy controls, allowing
* users to manage what content they want to see from each contact. This supports
* TimeSafari's privacy-first approach by giving users granular control over
* their information exposure.
*
* ## Changes Made:
*
* ### contacts.iViewContent
* New boolean column that controls whether the user wants to see content
* (activities, projects, offers) from this contact in their feeds and views.
*
* - `TRUE` (default): User sees all content from this contact
* - `FALSE`: User's interface filters out content from this contact
*
* ## Use Cases:
*
* 1. **Privacy Management**: Users can maintain contacts for trust/verification
* purposes while limiting information exposure
*
* 2. **Feed Curation**: Users can curate their activity feeds by selectively
* hiding content from certain contacts
*
* 3. **Professional Separation**: Users can separate professional and personal
* networks while maintaining cryptographic trust relationships
*
* 4. **Graduated Privacy**: Users can add contacts with limited visibility
* initially, then expand access as trust develops
*
* ## Privacy Architecture:
*
* This column works in conjunction with TimeSafari's broader privacy model:
* - Contact relationships are still maintained for verification
* - Cryptographic trust is preserved regardless of content visibility
* - Users can change visibility settings at any time
* - The setting only affects the local user's view, not the contact's capabilities
*
* ## Default Behavior:
*
* All existing contacts default to `TRUE` (visible) to maintain current
* user experience. New contacts will also default to visible, with users
* able to adjust visibility as needed.

-- Add content visibility control to contacts table
-- This allows users to manage what content they see from each contact
-- while maintaining the cryptographic trust relationship

/**
* Template for Future Migrations
*
* When adding new migrations, follow this pattern:
*
* ```typescript
* registerMigration({
* name: "003_descriptive_name",
* sql: `
* -- Clear comment explaining what this migration does
* -- and why it's needed
*
* ALTER TABLE existing_table ADD COLUMN new_column TYPE DEFAULT value;
*
* -- Or create new tables:
* CREATE TABLE new_table (
* id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
* -- ... other columns with comments
* );
*
* -- Initialize any required data
* INSERT INTO new_table (column) VALUES ('initial_value');
* `,
* });
* ```
*
* ## Migration Best Practices:
*
* 1. **Clear Naming**: Use descriptive names that explain the change
* 2. **Documentation**: Document the purpose and impact of each change
* 3. **Backward Compatibility**: Consider how changes affect existing data
* 4. **Default Values**: Provide sensible defaults for new columns
* 5. **Data Migration**: Include any necessary data transformation
* 6. **Testing**: Test migrations on representative data sets
* 7. **Performance**: Consider the impact on large datasets
*
* ## Schema Evolution Guidelines:
*
* - **Additive Changes**: Prefer adding new tables/columns over modifying existing ones
* - **Nullable Columns**: New columns should be nullable or have defaults
* - **Index Creation**: Add indexes for new query patterns
* - **Data Integrity**: Maintain referential integrity and constraints
* - **Privacy Preservation**: Ensure new schema respects privacy principles
