v0.23.1: migration rollback capability

- Add rollbackMigration() function in db/database.js with transaction safety
- Add POST /api/admin/migrations/rollback endpoint (admin-only)
- Rollback SQL for v0.44 (indexes), v0.45 (audit_log table), v0.46 (cycle columns)
- Error codes: NOT_APPLIED (404), ROLLBACK_NOT_SUPPORTED (422)
- Audit logging for rollback events
- Fix duplicate migrationStartTime declaration from v0.23.0 commit
- Fix broken migration completion audit log from v0.23.0 commit
- Fix DB path exposure (uses path.basename() now)

+| Agent | Status | Time | Notes |
+|-------|--------|------|-------|
+| Neo | ❌ FAILED | 21m | Attempted rollback but broke code (syntax errors, no actual implementation) — reverted |
+| Ripley | ✅ COMPLETED | — | Implemented rollback from scratch, fixed v0.23.0 structural bugs |
+| Bishop | ✅ COMPLETED | 4m | Verified build passes, container starts clean |
+| Hudson | ⬜ PENDING | — | Security audit dispatched |
+
+**Files modified:** `db/database.js`, `routes/admin.js`, `client/lib/version.js`, `package.json`, `HISTORY.md`, `FUTURE.md`
+
+**Work Completed:**
+- [x] `db/database.js`: Added `rollbackMigration()` function with transaction support, rollback SQL map for v0.44/v0.45/v0.46
+- [x] `db/database.js`: Fixed duplicate `migrationStartTime` declaration from v0.23.0 commit
+- [x] `db/database.js`: Fixed duplicate else block in runMigrations() from v0.23.0 commit
+- [x] `db/database.js`: Fixed DB path exposure (uses `path.basename()` now)
+- [x] `routes/admin.js`: Added `POST /api/admin/migrations/rollback` endpoint (admin-only)
+- [x] `routes/admin.js`: Imported `rollbackMigration` from database.js
+- [x] Version bumped to 0.23.1
+- [x] Docker build passes, container starts, migrations apply correctly
+- [x] Rollback tested: v0.46 rolled back successfully, v0.40 returns ROLLBACK_NOT_SUPPORTED, v0.99 returns NOT_APPLIED

-**Description:**
-No way to rollback or recover from failed migrations without manual database repairs.
-
-**Rationale:**
-- If a migration fails, no automatic recovery
-- Admin must manually fix database state
-- No rollback scripts to revert breaking changes
-- Risk: extended downtime on production
-
-**Implementation Notes:**
-- Design migrations with rollback functions
-- Store rollback SQL alongside migration
-- Implement `ROLLBACK_LAST_MIGRATION` functionality

 # Bill Tracker — Changelog
 
+## v0.23.1
+
+### Added
+- **Migration Rollback** — New `rollbackMigration()` function in database.js and `POST /api/admin/migrations/rollback` endpoint for admin-only migration rollback
+- Rollback support for v0.44 (performance indexes), v0.45 (audit_log table), v0.46 (cycle columns)
+- Transaction-wrapped rollback with detailed logging (`[rollback]`, `[rollback-error]`)
+- Audit logging for rollback events: `migration.rollback` and `migration.rollback.failure`
+- Error codes: `NOT_APPLIED` (404), `ROLLBACK_NOT_SUPPORTED` (422)
+
+### Fixed
+- **Duplicate migrationStartTime declaration** — Removed duplicate variable declaration causing syntax error
+- **Duplicate else block** — Removed duplicated migration skip branch in `runMigrations()`
+- **DB path exposure** — Changed `Opening DB at:` log to use `path.basename()` instead of full path
+
+### Changed
+- `routes/admin.js`: Added `rollbackMigration` import and `/migrations/rollback` endpoint
+- `db/database.js`: Added `rollbackMigration()` function with transaction support and rollback SQL map

 **Status:** Complete  
 **Last Updated:** 2026-05-10  
 **Owner:** Bishop  
-**Version:** 0.22.3

+

+
+## Version 0.23.1 Update
+
+### Migration Rollback Feature (2026-05-10)
+
+**Added:** Database migration rollback capability with transaction support, rollback SQL definitions, and admin API endpoint.
+
+**Files Modified:**
+- `db/database.js` — Added `rollbackMigration()` function, `ROLLBACK_SQLS` map, `hasRollbackSQL()`, `getRollbackSQL()`
+- `routes/admin.js` — Added `POST /api/admin/migrations/rollback` endpoint
+- `client/lib/version.js` — Version bumped to 0.23.1 with rollback highlights
+- `package.json` — Version bumped to 0.23.1
+
+### New Functions in database.js
+
+**File:** `db/database.js`
+
+#### RollbackSQLS Map
+
+```javascript
+const ROLLBACK_SQLS = {
+  'v0.44': [
+    'DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_bills_due_date',
+    'DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_payments_bill_id',
+    'DROP INDEX IF EXISTS idx_users_email',
+  ],
+  'v0.45': [
+    'DROP TABLE IF EXISTS audit_log',
+  ],
+  'v0.46': [
+    'ALTER TABLE bills DROP COLUMN cycle_start_day',
+    'ALTER TABLE bills DROP COLUMN cycle_end_day',
+  ],
+};
+```
+
+#### rollbackMigration(version) Function
+
+**Signature:** `rollbackMigration(version: string) => { success: boolean, error?: string, message?: string }`
+
+**Description:** Rolls back a previously applied migration by executing its rollback SQL statements within a transaction.
+
+**Error Codes:**
+- `NOT_APPLIED` (404): Migration hasn't been applied to the database
+- `ROLLBACK_NOT_SUPPORTED` (422): No rollback SQL defined for this migration version
+- `NO_ROLLBACK_STATEMENTS`: Migration has empty rollback SQL array
+
+**Audit Events:**
+- `migration.rollback`: Successful rollback with statement count
+- `migration.rollback_failure`: Failed rollback with error details
+
+**Security:** Admin-only endpoint via `requireAuth` + `requireAdmin` middleware
+
+### API Endpoint
+
+**Endpoint:** `POST /api/admin/migrations/rollback`
+
+**Authentication:** Admin-only (`requireAuth` + `requireAdmin`)
+
+**Request Body:**
+```json
+{
+  "version": "v0.46"
+}
+```
+
+**Success Response (200):**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "version": "v0.46",
+  "statements": 2
+}
+```
+
+**Error Responses:**
+
+**NOT_APPLIED (404):**
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "error": "NOT_APPLIED",
+  "message": "Migration v0.46 has not been applied"
+}
+```
+
+**ROLLBACK_NOT_SUPPORTED (422):**
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "error": "ROLLBACK_NOT_SUPPORTED",
+  "message": "Rollback not supported for migration v0.40"
+}
+```
+
+### Supported Rollback Versions
+
+| Version | Description | Rollback SQL | Risk Level |
+|---------|-------------|--------------|------------|
+| v0.44 | Performance indexes | Drop 3 indexes | LOW - Indexes can be recreated |
+| v0.45 | Audit log table | Drop table | MEDIUM - Data loss, but low-impact table |
+| v0.46 | Cycle tracking columns | Drop 2 columns | LOW - Column data lost, but recoverable |
+
+### Testing Rollback
+
+**Docker Test:**
+```bash
+docker exec bill-tracker node -e "
+const {getDb,rollbackMigration}=require('./db/database');
+getDb();
+console.log(JSON.stringify(rollbackMigration('v0.46')));
+"
+```
+
+**Expected Output (v0.46 success):**
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "version": "v0.46",
+  "statements": 2
+}
+```
+
+**Expected Output (v0.40 - no rollback):**
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "error": "ROLLBACK_NOT_SUPPORTED",
+  "message": "Rollback not supported for migration v0.40"
+}
+```
