ADFA-5212: Add a corrected docdb script for the Dynamic Bookshelf

[davidschachterADFA]

Replaces the three prototype scripts attached to ADFA-5212 with one that runs.

Why the prototypes don't

Both table scripts write CREATE TABLE <name> IF NOT EXISTS — SQLite wants that clause before the name, so each is a parse error — and the template script has no IF NOT EXISTS at all, so CREATE TABLE Templates fails against any real database.

Worse than failing, they half-apply. The sqlite3 CLI reports each error, carries on, and reaches COMMIT. Running all three against a copy of the 14-Aug database left 22 Bookshelf rows — the 7 good books stacked on top of the 15 broken ones from ADFA-5204 — and refreshed none of the existing category descriptions, because ids 1–5 collided on the primary key and were skipped.

What this one does differently

• .bail on, so an error aborts and rolls back instead of persisting partial work.
• Idempotent. Categories are inserted if missing and their descriptions refreshed, never re-keyed — Bookshelf.bookCategoryID points at those ids, so INSERT OR REPLACE would quietly break the join. Books are rebuilt. The template is updated in place if present.
• No hard-coded Content.id. The prototype's own comment warned they'd be wrong elsewhere: they're AUTOINCREMENT values assigned at import, and its 53507–53514 match neither my copy (77433–77445, 92643–92644) nor anything stable. Books resolve by Content.path, which survives a rebuild and fails safe — a missing path inserts nothing rather than attaching a book to whatever row now holds that id.
• Verification that names what broke. SQLite prohibits subqueries in CHECK, so violations are collected into a temp table, printed, then gated on a CHECK that fails the transaction.

The template blob is the revision verified on device on 19 Aug: 1,261 bytes, debug output removed (it was most of the rendered page), category names matching the seed data.

Testing

Against a copy of the 14-Aug database:

	result
Clean run	5 categories / 15 unusable rows / no template → 6 / 7 / installed, all 7 books joining to a category
Two further runs	unchanged, exit 0 — and category ids preserved
A seeded book path missing from Content	prints these seeded book paths are missing from Content: …/PebbleTemplateGuide.pdf, plus the row-count and join-count mismatches, then rolls back — the 15 original rows untouched
Template blob truncated by two hex chars	prints expected one bookshelf template of 1261 bytes, found 1 row(s) of 1260 bytes, rolls back
Database with no Content table	aborts before creating anything

Two lessons went into docs/documentation-database.md alongside the existing ADFA-5088 ones: never hard-code a Content.id, and how to write a row-counting invariant when CHECK can't hold a subquery — including the HAVING COUNT(*) > 0 that stops an aggregate check from firing on a clean run (an aggregate with no GROUP BY returns one row even when nothing matched, so GROUP_CONCAT is NULL and a NOT NULL column fails).

Scope

This is a patch script, which is the same shape as ADFA-5088's. The ticket's actual ask is that docdb-studio emit these tables, so this is the stopgap that makes a correct database reachable today and a reference for what the generator should produce — not a substitute for it.

📝 Walkthrough

• Replaced three prototype Dynamic Bookshelf scripts with one idempotent SQLite patch.
• Preserved existing category IDs and refreshed category descriptions.
• Rebuilt bookshelf rows and updated the existing bookshelf template in place.
• Resolved books by stable Content.path values instead of hard-coded Content.id values.
• Added transactional failure handling, row-count checks, join validation, and template-size validation.
• Added guidance for stable content lookup and SQLite row-count invariants.
• Verified installation, repeated execution, missing content, truncated templates, and missing Content table scenarios against a copy of the 14-Aug database.
• Risk: the patch rebuilds bookshelf rows. Run it only against the intended database and retain a backup.
• Risk: the patch depends on the expected Content.path values and the verified 1,261-byte template blob. Changes to either can cause rollback or installation failure.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds an idempotent SQLite migration for the dynamic bookshelf. It creates and seeds bookshelf data, resolves content by path, updates the Pebble template, validates invariants transactionally, and documents path-based ID resolution and temporary-table checks.

Changes

Dynamic bookshelf

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Schema and seed data docs/docdb/ADFA-5212-dynamic-bookshelf.sql	The script enables foreign keys and rollback behavior. It creates BookCategories and Bookshelf when absent. It defines six categories and seven seeded books.
Bookshelf population and template docs/docdb/ADFA-5212-dynamic-bookshelf.sql	The script preserves category IDs, rebuilds bookshelf rows from Content.path matches, and inserts or updates the bookshelf Pebble template.
Transactional validation and guidance docs/docdb/ADFA-5212-dynamic-bookshelf.sql, docs/documentation-database.md	The script validates paths, counts, joins, categories, and template size before commit. The documentation describes path-based ID resolution and temporary-table validation patterns.

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

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to cfc1a

The script currently deletes every Bookshelf row and validates only its seven seeded rows, so it can commit while removing books managed by other ingestion paths; it also does not ensure the documented cleanup behavior when Content rows are deleted. This is a high merge-readiness risk that should be fixed or explicitly guarded before merge.

Poem

A rabbit checks each book by path,
Seeds six shelves along the path.
The template hops into place,
Checks keep errors from the trace.
Commit when every row is right—
Then nibble carrots by moonlight.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Do not delete books that this migration does not own.

Line 150 deletes every Bookshelf row. The documentation states that plugin ingestion can add non-PDF books to this catalog. This migration will remove those rows and commit successfully because the checks at Lines 205-207 run after the deletion and expect only the seven seed rows. Define an exclusive ownership contract for this table, or scope deletion and validation to the seeded paths.
