User description

found a real bug: resolveNoopDatabase was rejecting a valid backup as damaged because it only checked the zip's declared uncompressed-size against what actually unpacked. a real 10.5.0 export undercounted its own size field by a few thousand pages while the CRC-32 (computed over the full decompressed stream) still matched - unzip -t calls that file fine for the same reason. now we trust the CRC; only an actual mismatch means damage.

separately, ran into a real-world .noopbak that's genuinely corrupt at the byte level - verified independently with the sqlite3 CLI and two different zip extractors, nothing to do with our reading code. integrity_check reports bad freelist entries, invalid page numbers, out-of-order rowids. import now:

  • repairs a stale page-count header on a throwaway copy (never touches the user's original file)
  • drops just the table that throws SQLITE_CORRUPT instead of crashing the whole import
  • if every table is unreadable, says so honestly - names the tables, says nothing is recoverable

also fixed the onboarding banner, which was guessing "taken mid-sync" as the cause of partial corruption - it now names the actual corrupt tables and points at trying another file instead of the wrong "export in date order" advice.

test plan

  • new synthetic-fixture tests for the CRC-vs-size mismatch (undercounted-but-valid, and genuinely tampered)
  • new tests for per-table corruption drop + all-corrupt honest failure
  • noop_backup_import_test.dart + noop_schema_drift_test.dart + import_container_test.dart all green (78 tests)

Summary by Sourcery

Improve NOOP backup imports to accept valid archives, recover unaffected data from genuine corruption, and report unrecoverable tables accurately.

Bug Fixes:

  • Validate extracted NOOP backup databases using CRC-32 rather than unreliable ZIP size metadata, while still rejecting files with checksum mismatches.
  • Recover more data from damaged SQLite backups by repairing stale page-count headers on temporary copies and isolating unreadable tables instead of failing the entire import.

Enhancements:

  • Propagate corrupt table information through import results and present affected table names with an appropriate recommendation in the onboarding report.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for valid undercounted ZIP entries, tampered CRCs, stale SQLite headers, and per-table corruption recovery.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved import support for backups copied while the database was being written.
    • Archives with valid extracted files are now accepted when their size metadata is inaccurate.
    • Imports can now preserve readable data when only specific database tables are corrupted.
  • New Features

    • Import reports identify which tables could not be recovered.
    • Recovery guidance now recommends trying another backup when corruption is detected.

a real 10.5.0 backup unpacked to more bytes than its own zip said it
would - the central directory's uncompressed-size field undercounted
noop-backup.sqlite by a few thousand pages, but the CRC (computed over
the full decompressed stream) still matched, and unzip -t called it
fine for the same reason. we were rejecting it as damaged off the
stale size field alone. now only an actual CRC mismatch counts as
damage.
hit a real-world .noopbak that fails sqlite's integrity_check outright
- bad freelist, invalid page numbers, out-of-order rowids. verified
independently with the sqlite3 CLI and two separate zip extractors,
nothing to do with our own reading code: the file itself is broken.

repair a stale page-count header on a throwaway copy before reading
(never touches the user's original file), and when a table still
throws SQLITE_CORRUPT, drop just that table instead of crashing the
whole import. if every table is unreadable, say so honestly - name the
tables, say nothing is recoverable, don't guess a cause.

also fixes the onboarding banner copy, which was guessing "taken
mid-sync" as the cause of partial corruption. it now names the actual
corrupt tables and points at re-exporting/trying another file instead
of the wrong "export in date order" advice.

Reviewer's Guide

The import pipeline now accepts valid NOOP archives with stale size metadata by trusting CRC-32, repairs stale SQLite page-count headers on disposable copies, degrades gracefully by dropping only tables that produce SQLite corruption errors, and communicates exact recovery limits and next steps to users.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The import pipeline now validates oversized archive members by CRC-32, repairs stale SQLite page-count headers in temporary copies, skips corrupt tables, and propagates corruption details to the import report.

Changes

NOOP backup import

Layer / File(s) Summary
Archive CRC validation
lib/import/import_container.dart
Oversized extracted files are accepted when their chunked CRC-32 matches the archive CRC.
SQLite snapshot header repair
lib/import/noop_backup_import.dart
The importer repairs stale SQLite page counts in a temporary copy and removes the scratch directory after import.
Partial corruption reporting
lib/import/noop_backup_import.dart, lib/import/noop_import.dart, lib/ui2/onboarding/welcome.dart
Corrupt tables are skipped during reads, recorded in NoopImportResult and ImportOutcome, and listed in ImportReport. The report uses “Try another file” for corrupted backups.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 64cf2

The PR improves recovery of valid and partially corrupt backups, but it still accepts archive metadata that can cause substantially oversized extraction before validation and can report success when the required heart-rate data is unreadable. These issues can exhaust device resources or produce incomplete imported data, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are addressed or explicitly accepted.

<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** The repaired database header is not patched at byte offset 28 because the file is opened with `FileMode.append`; append mode writes the four bytes at the end of the copied file regardless of the preceding `setPosition(28)`. The returned scratch copy therefore retains the stale page count and gains four trailing bytes, so stale-header backups still fail to open or are treated as malformed.

**Triggers:** When the SQLite file contains more whole pages than its header declares.

**Suggested fix:** Open the copied file in a mode that permits positional writes, such as `FileMode.write`, before seeking to offset 28.

```suggestion
    final raf = await File(repaired).open(mode: FileMode.write);
```

       if (db.size > 0 && written > db.size) {
-        throw ImportFormatException(
-          '“${p.basename(path)}” does not hold what it says it does — its '
-          'database unpacked to more than the archive declared. It is likely '
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (broader_impact):** CRC validation is performed only when `written > db.size`; a truncated or tampered archive whose extracted size is still less than or equal to the declared size bypasses the new CRC check and is accepted. Thus an actual CRC mismatch does not consistently count as damage as the implementation claims.

**Triggers:** When the archive's extracted content is no larger than its declared uncompressed size but its content or declared CRC is wrong.

**Suggested fix:** Validate the extracted file's CRC whenever the archive provides `db.crc32`, not only inside the `written > db.size` branch.

```suggestion
      final crc = db.crc32;
      if (crc != null && await _fileCrc32(destPath) != crc) {
        throw ImportFormatException(
          '“${p.basename(path)}” appears damaged — its extracted database '
          'does not match the archive checksum. Export it again.',
        );
      }
```

     try {
-      src = await openDatabase(path, readOnly: true);
-    } catch (e) {
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (bug_risk):** When every importable table raises `SQLITE_CORRUPT` during `_span`, the catch blocks merely `continue` without recording the table in `corrupt`. `_span` then returns null and `_import` emits the generic “holds no samples” error, without naming the corrupt tables or saying that nothing is recoverable.

**Triggers:** When all populated tables are unreadable and their corruption occurs during the initial aggregate span queries.

**Suggested fix:** Record each corrupt table while computing the span and use that set when producing the all-corrupt failure message.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**issue (broader_impact):** A table is marked corrupt only after rows from earlier successful queries have already been passed to `onRow` and ingested. If a later page or same-timestamp drain query raises `SQLITE_CORRUPT`, the importer reports that table in `corruptTables` but does not undo its previously ingested rows, so it does not actually drop the table as promised and can produce partial channel data.

**Triggers:** When corruption is encountered after at least one page or same-timestamp batch from the table has been returned successfully.

**Suggested fix:** Buffer a table's rows until its complete scan succeeds, or add rollback support that removes all rows contributed by a table when a later query marks it corrupt.
</issue_to_address>

Sourcery assessment

Needs a human reviewer. 4 findings to address first, and a faulty header repair or corruption classifier could cause an import to persist only a partial dataset, dropping an entire sample table while the other channels are written normally. Reverting the code would not undo that imported state, but the bounded loss can be repaired by re-exporting and re-importing the source.

Blocking findings: lib/import/noop_backup_import.dart:176, lib/import/import_container.dart:552, lib/import/noop_backup_import.dart:506, lib/import/noop_backup_import.dart:397

Enforce the actual extraction limit before accepting the CRC match.

This branch accepts output larger than the declared db.size when _fileCrc32(destPath) matches db.crc32. Enforce _kMaxUncompressedBytes during db.writeContent with a bounded output sink before performing the CRC check.

…scratch-dir leak

- _span's own whole-table scan can hit SQLITE_CORRUPT before _read ever runs; it wasn't recording which table, so an all-corrupt backup surfaced as 'no samples' instead of 'corrupted' (the exact distinction this PR exists for)
- CRC was only checked on the size-overrun branch, so a tampered archive whose extracted size happens to match its declared size sailed through with zero validation
- _repairTruncatedHeader leaked its scratch dir + partial copy on any failure between creating it and returning, since the caller only gets a handle to clean up from the return value
- reject a bogus page-size byte (e.g. 3) before treating a length divisible by it as a stale header worth repairing

false positives dismissed: the FileMode.append 'ignores setPosition' claim doesn't hold for dart:io (verified empirically — writes land at the set position, not EOF); partial rows already ingested before a table goes corrupt are kept by design, not a rollback bug; the bounded-extraction-sink DoS note is pre-existing and out of scope for this PR

Possible Issue

Opening repaired.sqlite with FileMode.append sets O_APPEND on POSIX systems (iOS/Android), which forces all file writes to execute at the end of the file. As a result, setPosition(28) is ignored during writeFrom, appending the 4-byte page count to the end of the database file rather than patching the header at offset 28. Use FileMode.writeOnly or FileMode.readWrite so setPosition(28) mutates the header in place.

  final be = ByteData(4)..setUint32(0, actualPages, Endian.big);
  await raf.writeFrom(be.buffer.asUint8List());
} finally {
  await raf.close();
}

Possible issue
Fix file corruption caused by FileMode.append ignoring setPosition

On POSIX systems (iOS/Android), FileMode.append uses O_APPEND, which forces all
writes to the end of the file regardless of setPosition. This means the header won't
be patched and the file will be corrupted with 4 extra bytes at the end. Instead,
stream the file to a new destination, injecting the patched header bytes on the fly.

lib/import/noop_backup_import.dart [184-192]

-await File(path).copy(repaired); // OS-level copy, not materialised here
-final raf = await File(repaired).open(mode: FileMode.append);
+final src = await File(path).open();
+final header = await src.read(28);
+await src.close();
+
+final sink = File(repaired).openWrite();
 try {
-  await raf.setPosition(28);
+  sink.add(header);
   final be = ByteData(4)..setUint32(0, actualPages, Endian.big);
-  await raf.writeFrom(be.buffer.asUint8List());
+  sink.add(be.buffer.asUint8List());
+  await sink.addStream(File(path).openRead(32));
+  await sink.flush();
 } finally {
-  await raf.close();
+  await sink.close();
 }

Why: On POSIX systems, FileMode.append uses O_APPEND, which ignores setPosition and forces writes to the end of the file. This would fail to patch the header and instead corrupt the file by appending bytes. The suggested stream-based approach correctly patches the file.

Offload heavy CRC-32 computation to a background isolate

Computing a CRC-32 over a file that is hundreds of MBs to a couple of GBs is heavy
compute that will cause jank or ANRs if run on the UI isolate, even when chunked.
Wrap the stream processing in Isolate.run to offload the work.

lib/import/import_container.dart [573-579]

 Future<int> _fileCrc32(String path) async {
-  var crc = 0;
-  await for (final chunk in File(path).openRead()) {
-    crc = getCrc32(chunk, crc);
-  }
-  return crc;
+  return Isolate.run(() async {
+    var crc = 0;
+    await for (final chunk in File(path).openRead()) {
+      crc = getCrc32(chunk, crc);
+    }
+    return crc;
+  });
 }
Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8

Why: Computing CRC-32 for large files on the main isolate, even when chunked, can cause UI jank by saturating the event loop. Offloading this to a background isolate using Isolate.run is a highly recommended performance improvement for large files.

Possible issue
Offload heavy CRC-32 computation to a background isolate

Computing the CRC-32 of a large file (hundreds of MB to GBs) chunk-by-chunk on the
main isolate will block the event loop and cause severe jank or ANRs. Offload this
heavy compute to a background isolate using Isolate.run.

lib/import/import_container.dart [573-579]

Why: Computing CRC-32 on large files (hundreds of MBs to GBs) in the main isolate will block the event loop, leading to severe UI freezes or ANRs. Offloading this heavy computation to a background isolate using Isolate.run is a critical performance fix.
