Paul Nothaft 80e238f0ad fix(usage): let a withdrawal win against an activation that is still starting
The last open item from the #1304 review.

/disable overlapping an in-flight /enable was silently lost. While
activation generates its identity and writes its binding file the row
still reads `disabled`, so disable()'s conditional update matched no
rows, and the lease conflict raised by its tick() was swallowed as
expected noise. The admin was told participation was off; the activation
then completed and left it on. An opt-out that does nothing is the one
failure this feature cannot have.

disable() now records cancel_requested first and unconditionally —
before the case-by-case work — and enable() claims its state with a
single conditional UPDATE that tests the flag alongside the status.
Re-reading the flag and then updating would only have moved the window;
making the claim itself carry the condition closes it, so whichever of
the two lands first wins outright and the loser writes nothing.

Nothing is registered when the claim fails, so there is also nothing to
delete remotely — the cancelled activation leaves no identity behind.
The flag is cleared at the start of enable(), so a cancellation from an
earlier participation cannot veto a later deliberate opt-in.

The column is migration 202 rather than an edit to 201. 201 already
shipped on this branch and knex records it as applied, so folding the
column in would have skipped every database that had already run it and
the first /disable would have failed on a missing column. Verified both
ways: a fresh install gets the column from 201+202, and a database
migrated before 202 existed gains it when 202 arrives.

Three tests. With the condition dropped from the claim, the race case
fails and the other two pass.

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.
