Luca 192d2cbc06 feat(workflows): crash recovery — resume runs orphaned mid-flow
Closes the crash-safety gap: a run left in running/pending by a crash had
nothing to resume it (the scheduler only wakes 'waiting'). Adds a heartbeat
(workflow_runs.updated_at, stamped on every node advance + start/resume) and a
recoverStaleRuns() sweep that re-enters runs whose heartbeat has gone stale
(>10 min) from their persisted node. Runs on the scheduler tick AND the boot
tick, so a restart catches anything stranded during downtime.

Re-entry is at-least-once (the current node may re-execute) — loop counters +
the late-fee math are idempotent, so the only residual risk is a duplicate
reminder email. An attempts counter (migration 145, cap 5) marks a run failed
instead of recovering a node that reliably crashes the process (crash-loop
backstop). Flag-gated. Tests: orphan-resume + crash-loop cap.

Database Migrations

This directory contains database migrations for the PicPeak photo sharing platform.

Directory Structure

/core

Essential migrations that are always run for new deployments. These include:

  • init.js - Initial database schema creation
  • Backup service tables (029-035)
  • Gallery feedback tables (033)
  • Pre-generated watermarks (061)

/legacy

Migrations needed only when upgrading from older versions. New deployments can skip these as the core schema already includes all necessary tables and columns.

For New Deployments

If you're deploying this application for the first time:

  1. The initializeDatabase() function in src/database/db.js will create all necessary tables
  2. Only migrations in the /core directory will be run
  3. This ensures a clean, optimized database schema

For Existing Deployments

If you're upgrading from an older version:

  1. All migrations (both core and legacy) will be run in sequence
  2. The migration system tracks which migrations have been applied
  3. Only new migrations will be executed

Running Migrations

# Development
npm run migrate

# Production
npm run migrate:prod

Note on Duplicate Migration Numbers

The legacy directory contains renamed duplicates:

  • 014_add_host_name_to_events_duplicate.js (was duplicate of 014)
  • 027_add_rate_limit_settings_duplicate.js (was duplicate of 027)

These have been renamed to avoid conflicts while preserving the migration history.
