Reopens the work from #1710, which GitHub auto-closed when #1677 was squash-merged and its base branch deleted. Same four commits, rebased onto the new stage, so the diff is now just this branch's own content instead of the 19 commits #1677 carried.

A maintenance script that migrates an existing documentation.db onto the shared Brotli dictionary that #1677's WebServer now reads. Nothing here ships in the APK; the only production file touched is a Spotless exclusion.

Three phases, in this order

Each phase changes what the next one sees, so the order is load-bearing.

Phase What it repairs Effect on the 20-Aug database
retype 74 rows hold GIF/PNG/JPEG/QuickTime payloads but are typed text/plain (ADFA-5221), so they are Brotli-compressed for no gain and served as Content-Type: text/plain. Stores their plaintext and points them at the type their magic bytes prove. 61 → image/gif, 7 → image/png, 4 → video/quicktime, 2 → image/jpeg
renumber 14 of the 19 chunked items number continuations from -2 while the reassembly loop starts at -1 (ADFA-5171), so they serve as their first 1 MiB and nothing more. Shifts them down. 14 items renumbered from -1
migrate Recompresses every ContentTypes.compression = 'brotli' row against the database's own CompressionDictionary. 29,515 of 29,677 items, 43.4 MiB saved (34.2%)

Phase 1 feeds phase 3 for free: a row retyped to image/gif inherits that type's compression = 'none', so phase 3's compression = 'brotli' selection stops seeing it. No exclusion list needed.

Why it is safe to run incrementally

WebServer tries a dictionary-attached decode first and falls back to a plain one, so a half-migrated database still serves every row. Classification deliberately tries the plain decode first: attaching no dictionary to a stream that needs one reliably fails, so a successful plain decode proves a row is not yet migrated. The reverse test is unsafe — a dictionary attached to a stream that never used one can decode to different bytes without erroring.

Rows over 1 MiB are raw slices of one stream, not independently compressed pieces, so the unit of work is a logical item (base row plus continuations) concatenated, decoded, rewritten and re-split. Migrating such rows one at a time would destroy the content.

Verified on a copy of the 20-Aug database

  • 74/74 retyped rows byte-identical to the original decompressed plaintext.
  • The chunked .mov reassembles from base + -1 to the same 1,357,576 bytes; all 19 chunked items reassemble to unchanged bytes.
  • 250/250 sampled rows decode with the dictionary to identical content, including a 6 MB SVG and a 23 MB HTML index.
  • Exactly 74 contentTypeID changes and 14 renames, nothing else. Content 30,649 → 30,649 rows, Bookshelf 7 → 7 (the .pdf AddBook/DeleteBook triggers never fire on continuation paths), PRAGMA integrity_check ok, no foreign-key violations.
  • Idempotent: a second run reports 0 retype candidates and all 19 chunked items already at -1.
  • 3.5 min at 20 workers (~73 min single-threaded); 313.8 → 268.1 MB after VACUUM.

Since then the migrated database has been through a dictionary re-mint as well (appdevforall/OfflineDocumentationTools#26), taking it to 249 MB; that tooling lives in the other repo, since that is where dictionaries are minted.

Two judgement calls, both flags

  • --mov-type quicktime (default) inserts an honest video/quicktime ContentTypes row. All four .mov files are genuine ftypqt QuickTime, which Chromium's demuxer generally will not play — so a correct type may still leave them blank. --mov-type mp4 labels them video/mp4 instead, which might coax playback. The real fix is transcoding in docdb-studio.
  • --only-if-smaller stays off. Dictionary compression grows 9,098 rows by a median of 25 bytes — 257 KiB against 43.6 MiB saved — and turning it on would leave those rows plain and re-attempted on every future run.

Both data defects originate in docdb-studio's import path, so a freshly exported database carries them again until fixed there; ADFA-5221 and ADFA-5171 track that, and ADFA-5171's repair is now upstream.

Notes for review

  • build.gradle.kts excludes **/*.py from the Spotless shell block, which was reindenting Python to tabs.
  • docs/documentation-database.md gains a paragraph on both data defects and which phase repairs each.
  • No UI, so no font-scale check applies.

…tation.db

Recompresses every brotli Content row against the dictionary already in the
database's CompressionDictionary table. Written for the 20-Aug database, which
has the dictionary but plain-Brotli rows, so nothing benefits from it yet.

Two things about the data decided the design, both checked rather than assumed:

Content over 1 MiB is not stored as independently compressed pieces. The rows
are raw 1 MiB slices of a single Brotli stream -- a slice alone does not decode
-- so the unit of work is a base row plus its continuations, concatenated,
decoded, recompressed and re-split. A naive per-row migration would have
destroyed all three such items, silently, since each slice still looks like a
blob.

And those continuation rows are numbered from -2 while WebServer's reassembly
loop starts at -1 (ADFA-5170), so they already serve truncated. The script
preserves whatever numbering it finds, keeping the migration behaviour-neutral;
--renumber-continuations rewrites from -1 instead, which makes them reachable
again, as an opt-in rather than a side effect.

Classification tries the plain decode first, deliberately: attaching no
dictionary to a stream that needs one reliably fails, so a successful plain
decode proves a row is unmigrated. The reverse is not safe -- a dictionary
attached to a stream that never used one can decode to different bytes without
erroring. A row that decodes identically both ways is left alone; those are
tiny already-compressed payloads the compressor found nothing to reference for.

Every item is verified before it is written: the recompressed bytes must decode
back to exactly the original plaintext, or the item is reported as an error and
left as it was.

Measured on a copy of the 20-Aug database, 20 workers: 29,751 items, no errors,
129.0 MiB of stored content down to 85.7 MiB (33.6%), 3.3 minutes against about
73 single-threaded. The file itself goes 313.8 MB to 267.7 MB after VACUUM, and
integrity_check passes. Verified independently of the script's own accounting:
303 sampled items, including all three chunked ones, decode with the dictionary
to content byte-identical to what the source decodes plainly. Re-running is
cheap (0.1 min) and converges -- pass two rewrote one row 11 bytes smaller,
passes three and four changed nothing.
The `shell` block targets scripts/** wholesale and runs
leadingSpacesToTabs(), so adding a .py file there gets it reindented to
tabs -- against PEP 8, and against every .py already in this repo, all of
which are space-indented.

Only the ratchet has been hiding that: those files never differ from
origin/stage, so Spotless never touches them. The first edit to
scripts/cloudflare-r2-upload.py or scripts/insert-ci-perf-data.py would
have silently converted the whole file, which is a trap worth removing
rather than working around.
The dictionary migration now runs in three phases, because each changes what
the next one sees:

  retype   -- 74 rows hold GIF/PNG/JPEG/QuickTime payloads but are typed
              text/plain (ADFA-5221), so they are Brotli-compressed for no gain
              and served as Content-Type: text/plain. Store their plaintext and
              point them at the type their magic bytes prove they are.
  renumber -- 14 of 19 chunked items number continuations from -2 while the
              app's reassembly loop starts at -1 (ADFA-5170), so they serve as
              their first 1 MiB and nothing more. Shift them down.
  migrate  -- the existing recompression pass, unchanged.

Phase 1 feeds phase 3 for free: a row retyped to image/gif inherits that
type's compression = 'none', so the compression = 'brotli' selection stops
seeing it. No exclusion list needed.

Extensions only nominate phase 1's candidates; magic bytes decide, and a
name/content disagreement is reported rather than trusted. The four .mov files
are ftypqt QuickTime, not ISO-BMFF, so --mov-type chooses between the honest
video/quicktime (inserted into ContentTypes as id 28) and the video/mp4
Chromium is likelier to play.

Verified on a copy of the 20-Aug database: 74/74 retyped rows byte-identical
to the original plaintext, all 19 chunked items reassembling to unchanged
bytes, 250/250 sampled rows decoding with the dictionary to identical content,
integrity_check ok, no foreign-key violations, Content and Bookshelf row
counts unchanged, and a second run reporting nothing left to do. 3.5 min at 20
workers; 313.8 -> 268.1 MB after VACUUM.

ADFA-5171 is "Chunked Content rows numbered from -2 break reassembly";
ADFA-5170 is a separate task about peak heap when serving chunked rows. The
docstring and the doc paragraph both pointed at the wrong one.

📝 Walkthrough
  • Added a maintenance script to migrate documentation.db to Brotli compression with the shared CompressionDictionary.
  • Repaired 74 mislabeled media rows using magic-byte detection.
  • Renumbered 14 chunked items from -2 to -1.
  • Preserved logical content for chunked streams during recompression.
  • Added dry runs, scoped phases, batching, parallel workers, verification, diagnostics, and idempotent execution.
  • Added dictionary major version 2 with safe version-history handling.
  • Continued past missing or NULL content rows.
  • Documented the repaired database defects and migration process.
  • Excluded Python sources, bytecode, and __pycache__ files from formatting and Git handling.
  • Reduced the vacuumed database size from 313.8 MB to 268.1 MB.
  • Risk: Run the migration on a database copy first.
  • Risk: Review media classification results before applying retype changes.
  • Risk: Confirm dictionary availability before Brotli recompression.
  • Risk: Verify database integrity, content, row counts, and repeated execution before production use.
  • Risk: Review open concerns, including silently dropped rows, phase 3 memory use, BMP detection false positives, character-based LENGTH() checks, inherited SQLite connections, phase-order messaging, dead code, and SQL/Python case consistency.
  • Best practice: Use dry-run and scoped phases before writing changes.

Walkthrough

The change adds a migration utility for documentation.db. It repairs content types and continuation numbering, recompresses Brotli content with a dictionary, verifies results, documents the workflow, and excludes Python bytecode from formatting and version control.

Migration phases and execution controls
scripts/docdb/migrate_content_to_dictionary_brotli.py
The script adds version handling, phase selection, batching, parallel processing, verification, diagnostics, transactions, and failure-based exit codes.
Migration workflow documentation
docs/documentation-database.md
The documentation describes the repaired continuation numbering and binary MIME defects and the dictionary recompression workflow.

Formatter exclusions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Python bytecode exclusion scope
build.gradle.kts, .gitignore
Spotless shell formatting and Git ignore rules exclude __pycache__/ contents and *.pyc files.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to bbdb3

The migration can currently leave content mislabeled, truncated, or decoded incorrectly, and failures may produce a partially migrated database after writes have been committed. These are high-impact correctness risks for the affected databases, so the PR should not merge until the migration handles these cases safely.

The extension/content agreement check reports .m4v as a disagreement.

sniff returns video/mp4 for a non-QuickTime ftyp payload. The substring test then compares "m4v" against "video/mp4", which fails, and the run reports a false problem. .m4v is in BINARY_EXTENSIONS, so this path is reachable.

Check that the brotli CLI exists before the pool starts.

The static analysis hints for lines 110-111 (S603, S607, subprocess-from-request) are false positives here: args is built only from internal constants and integer options, the payload goes over stdin, and shell=True is not used.

One real gap remains. If brotli is not on PATH, subprocess.run raises FileNotFoundError inside every worker task, so the run fails with a traceback per item instead of the documented requirement. Add a preflight check in main().

database. Verified: --limit 1 --phases renumber --yes renumbered 2 of 2 items
before, 1 of 1 after.

Every run demanded a CompressionDictionary, and a database without the table
crashed with a traceback instead of the intended message. Only retype and
migrate decode, so renumber now runs without one -- which is exactly the old
database whose numbering most needs repairing -- and a missing table says so
and says which phase still works.

The phases-without-migrate path returned 0 whatever it had printed. Failures of
the work a phase exists to do (a decode that fails, a renumber that cannot
proceed, a verification mismatch) are now errors and set a non-zero exit;
observations that do not make the run wrong (left as text, a name disagreeing
with its payload, a chunked item whose base row is not exactly 1 MiB) stay
notes. Both are labelled in the output.

Worker dictionary files were never deleted: 160 of them, 40 MB, had accumulated
in /tmp from earlier runs. Each worker now unlinks its own at exit.

.bmp was nominated as a candidate but sniff() had no BMP signature, so a real
BMP was reported as carrying no binary signature -- the opposite of the truth.

The mislabel sweep used startswith("text"), the same media-type boundary bug
fixed in ADFA-5241, which calls textual/example a text type. The candidate SQL
had it too. Both match at the boundary now, via one helper that says why.

A dry run printed "renumbered from -1: N" having written nothing, and the
wording had the direction backwards. It now says "would renumber to start at
-1: N".

Importing the migration script -- which a test or a future module next to it
does -- leaves a __pycache__/*.pyc, and spotlessShell targets scripts/**/*. It
then fails the whole task on a binary file it cannot process, which fails the
pre-push hook with an error that names formatting rather than the real cause.
It blocked my own push.

Code review (medium effort) — 5 findings, one high.

Non-issues checked and cleared: chunk re-splitting round-trips correctly against WebServer's firstChunk.size == contentChunkSize loop (including the exact-multiple-of-1-MiB edge, which terminates on the missing row); write_item's delete-then-insert renumber path is safe against UNIQUE(path); renumber_item's two-pass parking; the Bookshelf AddBook/DeleteBook triggers (.pdf-suffixed paths only, never continuations); the Spotless **/*.py / **/__pycache__/** exclusions and the matching .gitignore entries.

…readable

jatezzz, high: the script recompressed content against the dictionary and never
declared a version, so the app -- which gates on the declared MAJOR, not on the
presence of CompressionDictionary -- would refuse to attach the dictionary and
every row just migrated would fail to decode. A database that looks migrated and
serves nothing. The migrate phase now writes major 2 in the same transaction as
the last batch, and says so; a dry run says what it would declare and why.
Declared even after a partly failed run, since WebServer falls back to a plain
decode for rows that did not migrate but cannot read the ones that did without
it.

jatezzz, medium: newly inserted continuation rows carried the base row's
languageID, while WebServer looks continuations up with "languageId = 1"
hardcoded. Any item whose base row is not language 1 would have had its
continuations become invisible and its page truncate at 1 MiB -- the exact
ADFA-5171 symptom this script exists to remove. Continuations are inserted as
language 1 now.

jatezzz, medium: retyping into a type whose own compression is not 'none' left
the bytes compressed under a type they did not match, produced two spurious
verifier errors per row, and could have served raw compressed bytes. Such a
target is now refused with an actionable message and the row left alone.

jatezzz, low: one missing or NULL-content row aborted the whole run from inside a
worker, with earlier batches committed and no summary. Both phases now report it
and continue. Testing that found a second path to the same crash: NULL content
also made LENGTH() NULL, so the phase summary threw before any row was read.

jatezzz, low: phase 1 submitted every candidate at once and held every decoded
plaintext resident. It batches now, like phase 3.

CodeRabbit, major: renumber_item parked rows under "{base}-renumbering-{n}",
which a real row can already occupy -- failing on UNIQUE(path) after the
collision checks had passed. A single ascending pass needs no temporary names:
contiguity is verified first, so the lowest target is free and every later one
was vacated by the move before it. My comment claiming otherwise was wrong.

CodeRabbit, major: verify_retype reported valid -2 suffixes as errors in a
retype-only run, so a successful run exited 1. That check now runs only when
renumbering was requested.

All three follow from the previous round and are the reviewer's, not mine.

Batching phase 1's submissions bounded the workers, not the memory: every
completed Inspection was appended to a list and written only after the last
batch, so --batch did nothing about the thing that actually runs out. Each batch
is now inspected, typed, written and committed before the next one starts, and
each item's decoded payload is dropped as soon as it is written. The verifier
gets a set of paths rather than a list holding slices.

The continuation language fix only covered inserts. Reusing an existing
continuation row updated its content and type but left its languageID, so a row
that predates this script and carries the base row's language stayed invisible
to WebServer's continuation query -- the same truncation, through the row this
script chose not to replace. The update normalises it too.

The version was declared after the last batch, so a run interrupted between two
committed batches left dictionary-compressed rows in a database still declaring
a version the app will not attach the dictionary for: every committed row would
fail to decode. It is now declared in the same transaction as the first batch of
migrated content, with the end-of-run declaration kept as the fallback for a run
that migrates nothing but finds content already migrated.

Verified: a 4-row database with a realistic dictionary declares 2.0.0 during the
batch loop rather than after it; retype with --batch 1 still retypes and still
refuses a compressed target type; and the earlier round's checks all still hold
-- the parking-path squatter, the NULL-content row, language 1 on inserted
continuations, no suffix complaints in a retype-only run, and a dry run that
leaves the file byte-identical.

…a taken path

Two ways this script could damage content, both found in review.

phase_renumber decided an item was chunked from the path suffix alone.
A real page whose greedy base happens to be another real page -- k/kotlin-1-2
under k/kotlin-1 -- was therefore renamed to k/kotlin-1-1, which 404s every
link to it and leaves the base looking like a two-slice item. The signal that
would have prevented it, base row length == CHUNK_BYTES, was already computed
twenty lines below as a note, i.e. after every rename had been made, and
report() caps notes at 30. That test now selects the candidates instead: an
item is chunked when its base row is exactly CHUNK_BYTES, which is what the
app's own continuation query requires before it will reassemble anything. A
numeric-suffixed sibling with a differently sized base is reported as
independent content and left alone.

write_item INSERTed continuation paths with no UNIQUE(path) check, though
renumber_item already makes exactly that check before it moves anything. An
occupied target -- a foreign row, or a continuation the phase predicate
excludes -- surfaced as a bare sqlite3.IntegrityError from the middle of a
phase, with earlier batches committed and no summary printed, which is the
failure the batching was introduced to avoid. write_item raises PathClash
before it writes anything now, and both call sites record it as an error for
that item and carry on with the rest.

Verified against synthetic databases holding each case:

  - k/kotlin-1 (4 bytes) + k/kotlin-1-2: left alone, reported as independent.
    Against the script as it stood, k/kotlin-1-2 is renamed to k/kotlin-1-1.
  - big/page (exactly CHUNK_BYTES) + -2 + -3: still renumbered to start at -1,
    so the repair this phase exists for is unaffected.
  - img.gif with continuations at -2/-3 while another content type owns
    img.gif-1: PathClash, named, instead of an IntegrityError mid-run.

Pushed 45a8aa6 for the two findings that could damage content.

phase_renumber decided an item was chunked from the path suffix alone. A real page whose greedy base happens to be another real page — k/kotlin-1-2 under k/kotlin-1 — was renamed to k/kotlin-1-1, which 404s every link to it and leaves the base looking like a two-slice item. The signal that would have prevented it (base_bytes == CHUNK_BYTES) was already computed twenty lines below, as a note, i.e. after every rename had happened — and report() caps notes at 30.

That test now selects the candidates rather than describing the damage afterwards: an item is chunked when its base row is exactly CHUNK_BYTES, which is what the app's own continuation query requires before it will reassemble anything. A numeric-suffixed sibling with a differently sized base is reported as independent content and left alone.

write_item INSERTed continuation paths with no UNIQUE(path) check, though renumber_item already makes exactly that check before it moves anything. An occupied target — a foreign row, or a continuation the phase predicate excludes — surfaced as a bare sqlite3.IntegrityError from the middle of a phase, with earlier batches committed and no summary printed, which is the failure the batching was introduced to avoid. It raises PathClash before writing anything now, and both call sites record it as an error for that item and continue with the rest.

Verified against synthetic databases holding each case, and against the script as it stood:

case fixed unfixed
k/kotlin-1 (4 bytes) + k/kotlin-1-2 left alone, reported as independent renamed to k/kotlin-1-1
big/page (exactly CHUNK_BYTES) + -2 + -3 still renumbered to start at -1 same
img.gif with -2/-3 while another content type owns img.gif-1 PathClash: img.gif-1 already exists and belongs to another row IntegrityError mid-run

So the repair this phase exists for is unaffected; only the false positives stop.

Still open from the same review, not addressed here: the unguarded future.result() and missing shutil.which('brotli') preflight, rows silently dropped by load_items, the missing None check in verify_retype, phase 3 never releasing result.slices, sniff()'s two-byte BMP/true false positives, LENGTH() counting characters rather than bytes, the fork-inherited SQLite connection, the misreported phase order in the banner, dead retype_rows, unvalidated --batch 0, and the SQL/Python case mismatch on the text-type rule.

…n grouping, guard v2 declaration

Three fixes from review:

- declare_dictionary_version no longer DELETEs the version log. The table
  is append-only by contract (docs/documentation-database.md,
  DatabaseVersionResolver): the last-inserted row wins, so the INSERT
  alone declares version 2 and prior rows stay as history. Docstrings
  that asserted a one-row contract are corrected.

- load_items only groups a "-<digits>" sibling as a continuation when
  its base row holds exactly CHUNK_BYTES, the app's own chunk-detection
  rule. Grouping on the name alone let phase 1's rewrite of a short base
  absorb an independent sibling page's bytes and delete its row. Every
  phase inherits the gate from this one choke point; phase_renumber's
  local copy of the test is now redundant and reduced to a comment.

- Declaring version 2 over rows left plain is guarded two ways:
  --only-if-smaller is refused whenever the migrate phase runs (it
  deliberately leaves plain rows in a database that will declare 2, and
  a plain row can decode against the dictionary to wrong bytes without
  erroring), and a write run that declared 2 ends with an explicit
  WARNING when any brotli item did not migrate.
@claude
claude Bot requested a review from jatezzz August 26, 2026 16:16
The guard I added last round -- base row exactly CHUNK_BYTES -- rules out
a small base and nothing else. A real page that happens to be exactly
1 MiB, sitting next to independently named "-2"/"-3" pages, was still
grouped with them, and phase 2 renamed those pages into its slice slots.
Reproduced against the real schema: p/page (1,048,576 bytes) plus
p/page-2 and p/page-3 at 11 bytes each came out as p/page, p/page-1
(11 bytes), p/page-2 (11 bytes) -- both original URLs 404, one page
gone, and the app appends a foreign page's bytes when it reassembles.
The comment asserting this could not happen was wrong.

The signal was already loaded: a genuine slice set has every slice
except the last at exactly CHUNK_BYTES, because that is how the writer
splits. An 11-byte "-2" followed by a "-3" is provably not one. The test
now runs in load_items, so all three phases inherit it rather than phase
2 alone, and a sibling set that fails it becomes independent items
instead of being silently absorbed. Verified: the two coincidence cases
are left untouched, and both genuine mis-numbered slice sets are still
repaired.

A continuation whose base never became an Item was dropped silently --
not migrated, not counted, not reported, in a database the run then
declares version 2. It is reported now.

The version declaration is refused on a --path or --limit run. It covers
the whole database, so only a run that considered the whole database may
make it; a scoped run left tens of thousands of rows plain while telling
the app they were dictionary-compressed. Most such rows throw and fall
back, but a fraction decode without error to different bytes, which the
code's own comment says two lines further down. The run now prints why
it withheld the declaration.

Phase 3 releases result.slices after writing, which phase 1 already did
with a comment explaining why.

695-700: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Guard future.result() against worker exceptions.

inspect_item runs in a worker process and can raise. _brotli calls subprocess.run(["brotli", ...]), which raises FileNotFoundError when the brotli CLI is absent, and sniff/slice_stream can raise on unexpected input. future.result() re-raises that exception in the main loop. Phase 1 then aborts with a traceback after earlier batches have already been committed, and no summary or error report is printed. The same pattern exists at Line 991 in the migrate phase.

Wrap future.result() in try/except Exception and record the failure as an item error, as the run already does for read_blobs returning None. A preflight check that the brotli CLI exists would also convert the most likely cause into a clean exit before any write.

…lags

Three findings from CodeRabbit's review of PR #1724, each verified against
a scratch database before and after:

- Guard future.result() in the retype and migrate as_completed loops. A
  worker exception (e.g. the brotli CLI vanishing mid-run) re-raised and
  aborted the phase with earlier batches already committed and no summary;
  it is now recorded as that item's error and the run completes. A
  shutil.which("brotli") preflight also refuses retype/migrate runs
  up front when the CLI is missing, next to the dictionary checks.

- Validate --batch and --workers >= 1. Zero raised from range() or
  ProcessPoolExecutor after work may have started; a negative batch
  silently processed nothing. Both now exit 2 with a clear error,
  alongside the existing phase-name check.

- verify_retype passed read_blobs() straight to b"".join(), so a row
  deleted or NULLed between the write and the verify aborted verification
  with a TypeError. It now records the problem and continues, matching
  the adjacent vanished-row branch.

Verified CodeRabbit's three "outside diff range" findings against head 9914db6. None were addressed there, so all three are fixed in bbdb3ea:

  • Unguarded future.result() (major): still valid on 9914db6. Both as_completed loops (retype and migrate) now catch a worker exception, record it as that item's error, and continue -- the run completes with a summary instead of aborting mid-phase with earlier batches committed. Also added a shutil.which("brotli") preflight next to the dictionary checks, so a retype/migrate run refuses up front (exit 2) when the CLI is missing rather than failing per item inside workers.
  • --batch 0 / --workers 0 (minor): still valid on 9914db6. Both flags are now validated (>= 1) alongside the existing argument checks; a bad value prints a clear error to stderr and exits 2 before any work starts. A negative --batch, which silently processed nothing, is caught by the same check.
  • verify_retype NULL row (minor): still valid on 9914db6. read_blobs() returning None (row deleted or NULLed between write and verify) is now recorded as a problem and verification continues, matching the adjacent vanished-row branch, instead of raising TypeError.

Each fix was exercised against a scratch database: bad flag values exit 2; a simulated worker crash (brotli raising FileNotFoundError mid-run) completes with all items reported as errors and the full summary printed; verify_retype reports a NULL-content row instead of throwing; and a normal end-to-end --yes run still migrates cleanly.

389-400: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve metadata when splitting non-chunk rows.

This branch creates each standalone item with the former base item's content_type_id. During phase 3, write_item uses that copied ID and can relabel a separately stored Brotli row as the base row's MIME type.

Build the standalone Item from the split row's own languageID, contentTypeID, templateId, type value, and compression.

362-372: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not omit orphaned Brotli rows from migration.

orphans are logged but never returned as Item values. A nested numeric path such as base-1-2 can enter this branch when base-1 is itself grouped under base. Phase 3 can then declare version 2 after migrating other rows while this direct-path row remains plain Brotli.

The server will attach the dictionary after that declaration. A remaining plain row can decode to wrong bytes without an error. Recreate each orphan from its own row metadata, or treat it as a migration failure that blocks version declaration.

Normalize languageID during direct renumbering.

renumber_item changes only path. WebServer.kt loads continuation rows with AND languageId = 1. If a renamed continuation has another languageID, the server omits it and truncates the response. Set languageID = CONTINUATION_LANGUAGE_ID in this UPDATE, as write_item does.

…uageID

Three fixes in load_items/renumber_item:

- A row split back out of a disproved continuation group was built from the
  base item's languageID/contentTypeID/templateId, so phase 3 relabelled an
  independent page with the base's MIME type. It now carries its own row's
  metadata.
- Orphaned "-N" rows (whose would-be base is itself a continuation) were
  logged and dropped, so a plain-brotli row silently survived a run that
  declares version 2. They now migrate as standalone items; a genuine stray
  slice fails to decode and feeds the existing "did not migrate" warning
  instead of vanishing.
- renumber_item's UPDATE moved only the path. WebServer loads continuations
  with "languageId = 1" hardcoded, so a renumbered row under another language
  stayed invisible and the page still truncated. The UPDATE now normalises
  languageID like write_item does.

Verified on scratch databases: split rows keep type/language/template through
a migrate run; a migratable orphan round-trips against the dictionary while an
undecodable one exits 1 with the version warning; renumbered continuations end
at languageID 1.

Addressed CodeRabbit's three outside-diff-range findings on scripts/docdb/migrate_content_to_dictionary_brotli.py in ca5f7e3. All three were real against the previous head (bbdb3ea).

1. Split standalone rows inherited the base's metadata — when load_items disproves a continuation group and splits its -N rows back out, each standalone Item was built from the base item's languageID/contentTypeID/templateId, so phase 3's write_item relabelled an independent page with the base's MIME type. Fixed: a split row is now built from its own row's metadata (new standalone(row) helper in load_items).

2. Orphan rows were logged but never migrated — a -N row whose would-be base is itself a continuation (e.g. base-1-2 when base-1 is a slice of base) was noted and dropped, so a plain-brotli row silently survived a run that declares version 2 — the silent-wrong-bytes hazard. Fixed: each orphan now becomes a standalone item built from its own row and migrates normally. If it really is a stray slice of some stream, its bytes decode neither plainly nor with the dictionary, so it counts as an error, feeds the existing "declared 2.x but N item(s) did not migrate" warning, and the run exits 1 — no more silent survival either way.

3. renumber_item moved the path but not the languageID — WebServer loads continuations with AND languageId = 1 hardcoded (WebServer.kt, the continuation query), so a renumbered continuation stored under another language stayed invisible and the page still truncated at its first 1 MiB. Fixed: the renumber UPDATE now sets languageID = CONTINUATION_LANGUAGE_ID alongside the path, matching write_item's normalisation.

Verified on scratch databases: (a) a split row keeps its own type/language/template through a full migrate run and round-trips against the dictionary; (b) a migratable orphan migrates with its own metadata while an undecodable one is reported, warned about, and exits 1; (c) renumbered continuations end at languageID = 1. python3 -m py_compile clean.

@jatezzz — all three criticals are closed. The verdict is pinned to 45a8aa6; head is now 0c69c06.

# Finding Closed by Where to look
1 DELETE destroys the append-only version log 56d04c62c DELETE FROM DocumentationDatabaseVersion is gone; the INSERT stands alone. You were right that it bought nothing — ORDER BY ... DESC LIMIT 1 already makes the last row win, so the delete only cost the history and the ability to read a downgrade as one
2 Declaring 2 while rows are still plain can serve silently wrong content 56d04c62c Both changes you asked for: --only-if-smaller is refused outright when migrate is in --phases, with the reason in the error text; and a declaring run that leaves compression = 'brotli' rows unmigrated ends with an explicit line saying so
3 Phase 1 renumbers without the base_bytes == CHUNK_BYTES proof 9914db6a6 + 56d04c62c Put the gate in load_items rather than in either call site: a -<digits> sibling is only grouped under a base holding exactly CHUNK_BYTES, so both phases inherit it and cannot drift. 9914db6a6 also tightened the proof itself — a 1 MiB base is not enough, every slice but the last must be exactly CHUNK_BYTES, which an 11-byte row renamed to p/page-1 otherwise slipped past

On #3: you suggested write_item or continuation_clash. I put it one level further up, at the grouping step, because that is the single point both phases pass through — if you think the lower placement is better for a reason I have missed, say so and I will move it.

The five findings from your 24-Aug pass are closed too, across bbdb3ea5b (a missing or NULL content is reported as an error Result instead of aborting mid-phase-3) and ca5f7e3b1 (renumber sets languageID, so continuation rows stay visible to WebServer's hardcoded languageId = 1 lookup). Phase 1 now batches on --batch like phase 3.

Worth flagging one cross-PR interaction, since it lands near your #1: #1729 changes QUERY_MAJOR_VERSION from ORDER BY rowid DESC to ORDER BY changeTime DESC, rowid DESC. rowid is not insertion order and SQLite may reuse a deleted row's, so it was the wrong column for "the row written last". The append-only contract you cited is what makes that fix matter — with the DELETE gone, the log actually has rows to order.

Ready for another look.
