fix(mediadb): preserve the corrupt database as one forensic set - #1370
Conversation
- Drive the indexing write path (staging, tag-link reconcile, batch commit) on a file-backed database, copy the on-disk files to stand in for what storage preserved, damage the copy where a failure would, and reopen it the way production does. - Cases: a commit survives without a checkpoint; dirty pages spilled to the WAL before commit are never recovered; a torn WAL tail (mid-frame, missing commit frame, corrupted checksum) drops exactly the last commit and nothing before it; a checkpoint interrupted after one, half or all frames replays the WAL to the committed state; a checkpointed database stands alone without its sidecars; cancellation mid-reconcile rolls back the rows, the staged set and the fingerprint. - Every case asserts PRAGMA integrity_check passes on the recovered file. Refs #1279
- Recreate(keepBackup) preserved the database and WAL but deliberately dropped the SHM; preserve all three after Close(), matching the user database's recovery, so a post-mortem gets the files exactly as the process last saw them. - Correct the Recreate doc comment, which still described preservation happening before Close() and including the SHM. - Log each preserved file's backup path and size at warn level, next to the rest of the recovery trail, so a corruption report can point at it. - Add a test that holds a read-only connection through the recreate so the WAL and SHM survive Close(), then reassembles the three preserved files under one name and checks the WAL-only row is there and the file passes integrity_check. Refs #1279
The test asserted only that a -wal sidecar existed, which says nothing about where the committed row lives. Copy the main database on its own before Recreate and show it cannot answer for the row, so the test fails if the row is ever checkpointed before the set is preserved. Skip on Windows: the scenario deliberately holds a second connection open across Recreate, and Windows will not rename a database file while any handle on it is still open.
The skip was added on unverified reasoning about Windows file locking. PR CI is Ubuntu-only, so the push and nightly matrix is what will actually answer whether an open SQLite handle blocks the rename here.
Truncate deletes Tags and TagTypes but left the vocabulary stamp behind, so sqlSeedCanonicalTags short-circuited on the next index run and never re-seeded the now-empty tables. invalidateCanonicalTagVocabStampIfDeleted already applies the same reasoning after an orphan-tag cleanup. The crash-consistency snapshots also move to the media driver: main now carries an index collated with ZAPAROO_TITLE_V1, and a bare sqlite3 connection cannot run integrity_check against that schema at all.

Release the holder before calling Recreate.
Windows CI runs the full Go test suite. holder keeps the database, WAL, and shared-memory files open while Recreate(true) calls PreserveCorruptFile. Windows can reject those renames, so the backups may not exist when require.FileExists runs. Release holder before Recreate.

The holder connection opened a production-schema file through the bare sqlite3
driver, which does not register ZAPAROO_TITLE_V1. That connection cannot run
integrity_check at all against this schema ("no such collation sequence"), and
only survives here because a plain COUNT happens not to resolve the collation.
Use sqliteMediaDriver, as openSnapshot in this package already documents, so
the connection stays valid if the query or the schema moves.

The safety half of #1353, without the reconcile-skip work. Nothing here touches the indexing path.
Forensic set
Recreate(keepBackup)now preserves the database, its WAL and its SHM together afterClose(), and logs each preserved file's path and size. It previously dropped the SHM, and its doc comment still described renaming before the close. A corruption post-mortem needs the three files as one consistent set — #1279 asks for exactly this.A test reassembles the preserved trio under a single name and checks a row that only ever reached the WAL survives, proving the set is genuinely reassemblable rather than just present.
Crash consistency
New coverage drives the staging, tag-link and commit path on a file database, snapshots the files, damages the copy and reopens: commit without checkpoint, spilled uncommitted frames, torn WAL tail (three variants), checkpoint interrupted after one, half and all frames, a checkpointed database without sidecars, and cancellation mid-reconcile. Every case runs
integrity_checkon the recovered file.This is the deterministic fault-injection coverage #1279's validation section asks for.
Truncate
TruncatedeletedTagsandTagTypesbut left the canonical tag vocabulary stamp behind, sosqlSeedCanonicalTagsshort-circuited on the next index run and never re-seeded the now-empty tables.invalidateCanonicalTagVocabStampIfDeletedalready applies the same reasoning after an orphan-tag cleanup; truncate simply missed it.Note on the snapshot driver
The crash tests open snapshots with the media driver rather than a bare
sqlite3one. Since #1356 landed, the schema carries an index collated withZAPAROO_TITLE_V1, and a connection without that collation cannot runintegrity_checkagainst it at all.Not included
The reconcile fingerprint and skip work from #1353 is deliberately left out. Measured on a 229k-item MiSTer library, the two digest passes cost +690s of reconcile per run (
fingerprint+351s,store fingerprint+295s, everything else within noise), which lands on every first index and every changed system. See #1317.Summary by CodeRabbit
