SECURITY AUDIT CHECKLIST:
- [x] No sensitive data exposed in logs
- [x] Database schema and code now consistent for secrets/logs/settings
- [x] No direct client exposure of secrets
- [x] Logging disabled to prevent error amplification
- [x] All changes reviewed for privacy and data integrity
- Add detailed file-level documentation with architecture overview and usage examples
- Document all interfaces, classes, and methods with JSDoc comments
- Include migration philosophy, best practices, and schema evolution guidelines
- Add extensive inline documentation for database schema and table purposes
- Document privacy and security considerations in database design
- Provide troubleshooting guidance and logging explanations
- Add template and examples for future migration development
- Include platform-specific documentation for Capacitor SQLite integration
- Document validation and integrity checking processes with detailed steps
The migration system is now thoroughly documented for maintainability and
onboarding of new developers to the codebase.
- Add multi-layered migration validation strategy with schema detection
- Implement database integrity checker that validates all core tables and columns
- Add schema-based migration skipping to prevent re-running applied migrations
- Enhanced error handling for duplicate table/column scenarios with validation
- Add comprehensive logging for migration tracking and database state verification
- Include final validation step to ensure all migrations are properly recorded
The system now properly:
1. Checks if migrations are recorded in the migrations table
2. Validates actual schema exists before attempting to apply migrations
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.
- Root cause: Migration names were not being properly inserted into migrations table
- 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.
- Add comprehensive console logging for Electron with emojis for better visibility
- Use CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS and INSERT OR IGNORE to prevent duplicate creation errors
- Add specialized column existence checking for ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN operations
- Improve migration tracking with detailed status reporting (applied/skipped counts)
- Add proper error handling for existing schema scenarios
- Enhanced documentation and type safety for migration system
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
- Added comprehensive error reporting in migration service
- Updated HomeView to handle migration errors gracefully
- Fixed database initialization sequence to prevent constraint violations
This addresses UNIQUE constraint failed errors during app startup
and provides better user feedback during database migration issues.
- Enhanced migration service to handle duplicate column errors gracefully
- Added detection for 'duplicate column' and 'already exists' errors
- Migration service now marks partially applied migrations as complete
- Prevents Electron app crashes due to cross-platform database conflicts
- Improved robustness for database schema migrations
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.
- Updated migration 001_initial to use INSERT OR IGNORE for secret and settings tables
- Prevents unique constraint failures when database already exists from previous runs
- Allows clean migration process without requiring database deletion
- Database initialization now works properly in development environment
Fixes:
- UNIQUE constraint failed: secret.id error resolved
- Migration process now handles existing data gracefully
- Fresh database creation works without conflicts
- Electron app now starts successfully with working database
All major Electron issues resolved:
✅ TypeScript compilation working
✅ SQLite plugin properly configured
✅ UI assets loading correctly
✅ Database migrations successful
✅ App startup and initialization working

This enables building TimeSafari as a native desktop application
using Capacitor's Electron platform while maintaining existing
mobile and web functionality.
