# 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
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Database Service Files (Result Handling Fixes)

|
|
|
|
**Note**: Verify all file paths match repository reality as part of CI validation.
|
|
|

## Next Steps
|
|
|
|

|
|
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
