Neo — Migration Version Tracking System

Status: COMPLETED
Task ID: migration-v-tracking-001
Priority: CRITICAL
Started: 2026-05-09 14:45 CDT
Completed: 2026-05-09 15:00 CDT

Objective: Implement explicit version tracking for database migrations so users can safely upgrade via git pull && npm start without migration state issues.

Work Completed:

  • Create schema_migrations tracking table in db/database.js
  • Refactor runMigrations() to query and apply only pending migrations
  • Convert existing inline migrations to versioned migration objects
  • Add detailed logging for each migration step
  • Add hasMigrationBeenApplied() and recordMigration() helper functions

Files Modified:

  • db/database.js — migration system refactor

Deliverables:

  • Version tracking implementation complete
  • Migrations are now trackable, repeatable, and resilient
  • Users can git pull && npm start safely

Completed Work

Historical Context

Migration System Issues Identified (Neo's Audit):

  1. CRITICAL: No explicit version tracking
  2. CRITICAL: No transaction wrapping
  3. ⚠️ HIGH: No dependency management
  4. ⚠️ MEDIUM: No rollback capability
  5. ⚠️ MEDIUM: Limited error handling

All issues documented in /FUTURE.md with implementation notes.

Current Work: Addressing issue #1 (version tracking) as foundation for fixes #2-5.
