Conversation
…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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

--limit and --path did not reach the renumber phase, so a scoped trial run --
the first thing anyone sensibly tries -- rewrote every chunked item in the
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.

Avoid unchecked temporary continuation paths.
renumber_item first moves rows to {base_path}-renumbering-{suffix}. A regular Content row can already use that path. The update then fails on the unique path constraint before the final collision checks can help.
Update continuations directly in ascending suffix order. Each target is lower than its source and is free or has already been vacated. Alternatively, preflight collision-free temporary paths.

Do not require renumbering in a retype-only run.
A --phases retype --yes run preserves existing continuation suffixes at Line 565. verify_retype then reports valid -2 suffixes as errors. The command exits with status 1 although retyping succeeded.

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.dbonto the shared Brotli dictionary that #1677'sWebServernow 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.

image/gifinherits that type'scompression = 'none', so phase 3'scompression = 'brotli'selection stops seeing it. No exclusion list needed.Why it is safe to run incrementally
WebServertries 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

The real fix is transcoding indocdb-studio.--only-if-smallerstays 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
