# Database schema

PostgreSQL 16 with `pgvector`. Image `pgvector/pgvector:pg16`, data in the
`pgdata` volume. Connection pool: 20 max, 30 s idle timeout, 5 s connect
timeout.

Schema is managed in two layers:

1. **Baseline init** — `src/db/database.js`. Idempotent
   `CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS` + `ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN IF NOT EXISTS`.
   Runs on every boot. Represents everything that predated the migration tool.
2. **Versioned migrations** — `migrations/` via `node-pg-migrate`. All new
   schema changes go here. See `docs/migrations.md`.

## Extensions

```sql
CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS vector;
```

## Indexes

Core btree indexes — see `database.js` for the full list.

- `users(email)` — **`COLLATE "C"`** (lookup-critical auth path)
- `user_sessions(token_hash)` — **`COLLATE "C"`**
- `audit_log(user_id)`, `audit_log(timestamp)`, `audit_log(action)`, `audit_log(category)`
- `api_log(user_id)`, `api_log(timestamp)`, `api_log(endpoint)`
- `access_log(user_id)`, `access_log(timestamp)`
- `saved_encounters(user_id)`, `saved_encounters(expires_at)`, `saved_encounters(idempotency_key)`
- `user_memories(user_id, category)`
- `audio_backups(user_id)`, `audio_backups(expires_at)`
- `user_documents(user_id)`
- `learning_content(category_id)`
- `learning_progress(user_id, content_id)`
- `developmental_milestones(age_group, domain)`

The `COLLATE "C"` indexes are immune to ICU library version changes between
Postgres image upgrades — silent index corruption from libc / ICU drift
cannot affect auth lookups.

## Collation drift handling

On startup, `src/db/database.js` compares `pg_database.datcollversion` with
`pg_database_collation_actual_version()`. On mismatch it runs
`REINDEX DATABASE` + `ALTER DATABASE … REFRESH COLLATION VERSION` and logs
the event. `npm run maint:reindex` runs the same operation manually.

## Auto-cleanup

Hourly job (plus 10 s after startup):

```sql
DELETE FROM saved_encounters WHERE expires_at < NOW();
DELETE FROM audio_backups    WHERE expires_at < NOW();
DELETE FROM user_sessions    WHERE last_activity < NOW() - INTERVAL '30 days';
```

(The session cleanup is optional safety — the idle middleware deletes stale
rows eagerly.)

## PHI at rest

| Column | Protection |
|---|---|
| `users.nextcloud_token` | AES-256-GCM via `src/utils/crypto.js`, prefix `enc1:` |
| `audio_backups.audio_data` | Gzip → AES-256-GCM, 0x01 version prefix |
| `audit_log.details` | Redacted (SSN, phone, email, DoB regex; 500-char cap; note-body heuristic truncation) |
| Error responses | Generic `'Request failed'` on 500s; full detail stays in `logger.error` / Loki |
