fix(server): V2 copies V1 again when its earlier copy was never used#23599

Problem

V2 copies V1's state.sqlite into statev2.sqlite once, then reuses that file on every later start. If the copy came from a preview build, a nightly run once, a rolled-back server update, or a channel switch back to V1, everything the user did in V1 afterwards never shows up in V2. Missing items include new projects, threads and messages. Restarting does not help and nothing is logged.

Repro on main (8d3b061121), with real apps sharing one T3 home:

t3@0.0.45 (V1) with --auto-bootstrap-project-from-cwd projA creates project A and its thread.
Main starts and seeds statev2.sqlite.
t3@0.0.45 runs again from projB and creates project B and its thread.
Main restarts: V1 has 2 projects and 2 threads, V2 still has 1 of each, and no warning is logged.

Change

The server now replaces a stale copy when two things are both true:

V1 has newer data: V1 has a project or thread that the copy lacks, or one with a later updated_at.
Nobody has worked in the V2 copy yet.

When both hold, the server moves the copy aside to statev2.sqlite.stale and copies V1 again.

What counts as V2 work. Work is judged by content, not by events, because the server writes its own events within a minute of starting (auto-settle, PR sync). Any of these counts:
- a thread, message, project or scheduled task that did not come from V1;
- a session or pairing link that was revoked or consumed in V2 but is still open in V1. This keeps a revocation made in V2 from being undone.
If V2 holds work, it is kept and the server logs a warning.
Where it runs. Only the server does this, right after it takes the T3-home ownership lock (replaceStaleV2Database in server.ts). CLI processes that open persistence, such as t3 pair and t3 project, keep main's seed-only-when-missing behaviour, so they never move a database another process has open.
How the copy is moved. The server checkpoints the WAL into the copy, then renames the main file. Any failure logs a warning and keeps the existing database, so a locked file never blocks startup. Exactly one backup is kept.
state.sqlite is only ever opened read-only.
The user and internal migration docs now describe when V2 copies V1 again and what that copy replaces.

Scope and approval

Fixes #15017

Triaged bug via the automated issue flow. Four more reporters on the issue hit the same trap on stable 0.1.0 and on nightlies, through previews, rollbacks, channel switches and rolled-back server updates.

Verification

vp test run apps/server/src/persistence/initializeV2Database.test.ts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/legacy/: 16 passed.
- The reproduction test re-seeds a migration-only V2 store when V1 gained threads after the copy failed on main with expected [ 'thread-a' ] to deeply equal [ 'thread-a', 'thread-b' ] and passes now. It also covers visit and server auto-settle events not counting as work, the single backup, and a silent second start.
- Re-seed when V1 only updated an existing thread.
- A table of keep cases: a V2 thread without messages, a V2 message, a V2 scheduled task, a V2 project, a session revoked in V2, and a pairing link consumed in V2. I removed the revocation and consumption checks one at a time, and each made only its own row fail.
vp lint on the touched files is clean. The apps/server typecheck (tsc --noEmit) exits 0.

Runtime transcript: the same real-app sequence as the repro, with this branch at step 4.

1	WARN: The V2 database predates newer V1 data and holds no V2 work; moved it aside and copied V1 again { backupPath: '…/userdata/statev2.sqlite.stale' }
2	INFO: Imported legacy v1 thread shells { importedThreadCount: 2, importedMessageCount: 0 }

V2 now lists both threads, c4672dfd… (project B) and f56663e5…. A second start logs nothing and leaves only statev2.sqlite.stale. Running node apps/server/src/bin.ts pair against a stale home leaves statev2.sqlite in place.

Server-only change with no UI, so there are no before/after captures.
Not checked: a real Windows run. The rename-failure path is only read in code: it logs and keeps the existing database.

Approvability

Verdict: Needs Human Approval

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Startup now automatically recopies newer V1 data over qualifying V2 databases, retaining a backup but replacing some V2 edits and device pairings. Human judgment is needed on this changed default and the user state it may overwrite.

Re the scheduled-task finding: not applicable. No V1 release has a scheduled_tasks table (none in v0.0.45). The table is created only by the V2 migration Migrations/OrchestrationV2/ScheduledTasks.ts. So there are no "imported V1 tasks": when V1 lacks the table, hasIdsBeyond counts every V2 task row as V2 work. A task disabled in V2 therefore keeps the store, and a task deleted in V2 cannot be restored from V1, which never had it.

Walkthrough

During server startup, the server checks whether an existing V2 database is stale. If V1 has newer project or thread data and the V2 copy has no detected V2-only work, the server backs up the copy and recopies V1.

Changes: V2 database refresh

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Classify the V2 database copy `apps/server/src/persistence/initializeV2Database.ts`	Compare project and thread shells in V1 and V2. The inspection classifies copies as current, stale, or diverged based on newer V1 data and detected V2-only work.
Replace stale copies and test outcomes `apps/server/src/persistence/initializeV2Database.ts`, `apps/server/src/persistence/initializeV2Database.test.ts`	For stale copies, retain a `.stale` backup and recopy V1 using SQLite backup. Tests cover stale-copy replacement, backup contents and cleanup, V2 work that prevents replacement, and a session revocation during copy removal.
Wire startup and document migration `apps/server/src/server.ts`, `docs/internals/legacy-orchestration-migration.md`, `docs/user/thread-migration.md`	Run the check after the server acquires ownership. Update migration guidance to describe conditional recopy and the retained backup.

Merge Risk: External image Moderate · up to 54a92

If V1 is newer, a V2 copy holding only edits to imported threads, such as renames, pins, archives, or deletions, can be replaced by V1 data. The prior state is kept as statev2.sqlite.stale, so it can be recovered, but the edits are lost from the live database. Fix the detection before merging. A docs formatting nit is also still open.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #15017 requires current V1 data to replace or clearly identify a stale preview-seeded V2 database, while preserving V2-only work. The PR adds replaceStaleV2Database and calls it in the server after ownership acquisition. The code compares V1 project and thread shells, recopies stale V1 data, keeps a .stale backup, and logs warnings for replacement, divergence, and copy failure. It preserves V2-only threads, messages, projects, scheduled tasks, and V2 revocations or consumed pairing links. CLI initialization remains seed-only. The added tests cover newer and updated V1 data, server-generated events, V2 work categories, race protection, backup cleanup, and repeated startup.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within issue #15017. The server integration implements stale V1-to-V2 migration handling. The persistence tests verify replacement and preservation rules. The migration documents describe the new replacement behavior and its limits. No unrelated product or UI behavior is shown.

Log inspection failures before keeping the V2 copy.

An inspection failure does not prove that the V2 copy is stale, so retaining it is a safe fallback. However, the current fallback is silent. If the copy is stale, newer V1 projects, threads, messages, or status changes can remain unavailable until a later inspection succeeds. This is an operational data-freshness risk, not only a logging cleanup.

Document authentication state as V2 work.

The current guard preserves V2-revoked sessions and revoked or consumed pairing links. The paragraph’s exhaustive-looking V2 work list omits this security invariant. Without it, a maintainer may remove the guard as unnecessary. This is a documentation-contract violation and a future security-regression risk, not a current authorization bypass.

Preserve V2 edits to imported threads before recopying.

If V1 has a newer shell and no other work check matches, hasV2Work misses edits that retain an imported thread’s ID. A pin, rename, archive, or deletion can then be lost from the live database; the old state remains in the .stale backup.

Detect user changes to imported threads before classifying the copy as stale. Preserve the existing handling of automatic V2 events.

The scenario runner was not used because its project/thread helpers create V2 state and cannot construct the required V1/V2/V1 startup history.
