Legacy DB migration CLI

This package migrates the long-lived parts of a restored or still-readable ref MariaDB database into the core2026 PostgreSQL schemas. It is CLI-only; no HTTP or administrator route invokes it. run-plan is the normal operator entrypoint: it validates every configured connection first, then runs Gateway followed by the enabled game profiles in the official order.

The default mode is a read-only dry-run. --apply is required before any target write. PostgreSQL advisory locks prevent two applies for the same target. Gateway writes are transactional. Game archive writes and their completed legacy_archive.import_run record are transactional. Both paths record an import run and durable per-table checkpoints. Stable legacy keys make completed or interrupted runs repeatable.

Source restore

Restore each compressed table dump into a private MariaDB database before running this tool. Do not expose that database on a public interface. The dump directory is intentionally Git-ignored.

gzip -cd /path/to/db_dumps/root/member.sql.gz | mariadb root_dump
gzip -cd /path/to/db_dumps/che/ng_games.sql.gz | mariadb che_dump

Restore all tables defined by ref even though the CLI intentionally projects only long-lived tables. This lets the dry-run verify the source inventory and keeps the original dump as the recovery source.

Database URLs belong in a Git-ignored environment file or injected process environment. They are deliberately not accepted as command-line flags.

Ordered migration plan

Copy migration-plan.example.json to the Git-ignored migration-plan.json. Set its mode to 0600, then enter the MariaDB host, port, database and user for Gateway and each game profile. A password can come from a separate mode-0600 file (recommended), an environment variable, or directly from the mode-0600 plan. Target PostgreSQL URLs remain in the named environment variables.

mkdir -p tools/legacy-db-migration/secrets
chmod 700 tools/legacy-db-migration/secrets
cp tools/legacy-db-migration/migration-plan.example.json \
  tools/legacy-db-migration/migration-plan.json
chmod 600 tools/legacy-db-migration/migration-plan.json
chmod 600 tools/legacy-db-migration/secrets/*

pnpm migrate:legacy -- check-plan \
  --config tools/legacy-db-migration/migration-plan.json
pnpm migrate:legacy -- run-plan \
  --config tools/legacy-db-migration/migration-plan.json --mode full
pnpm migrate:legacy -- run-plan \
  --config tools/legacy-db-migration/migration-plan.json --mode full --apply

check-plan opens every source and target without writing. run-plan also preflights every stage before the first import, is a dry-run without --apply, and stops at the first failed stage. Completed earlier stages remain committed; rerunning is safe because the Gateway and each profile have independent locks, transactions and run records. The JSON output never includes a connection URL or password.

For a later delta, keep the same sourceSet, connection identity and source databases, restore or expose the newer snapshot, then run:

pnpm migrate:legacy -- run-plan \
  --config tools/legacy-db-migration/migration-plan.json --mode incremental
pnpm migrate:legacy -- run-plan \
  --config tools/legacy-db-migration/migration-plan.json --mode incremental --apply

Incremental mode refuses to start without checkpoints from a completed full apply. It also refuses a changed host/database/user identity or a source table whose maximum ID moved behind its checkpoint. Password rotation does not change the source fingerprint.

Source data Incremental policy
member_log Read only IDs after the committed high-water mark.
game archive/event-history tables Read only IDs after the profile checkpoint.
member, root/game storage, system, bans Rescan and idempotently upsert because old rows are mutable.
ng_games Rescan because a season row can gain its final winner after creation.

The append policy assumes Ref primary keys are never reused and completed archive rows are immutable. Incremental mode does not mirror source deletions. If either assumption is false, take a new reviewed backup and run full mode; do not edit checkpoint rows by hand.

The command reads MariaDB only. Ref logs/preserved/<season>/ directories are heterogeneous filesystem archives (old general/battle text, tournament text, SQLite API logs, and operational logs), not an incremental database feed. ng_old_generals.data.history and ng_history carry the supported long-lived history. Do not point this CLI at, copy, or infer database rows from preserved log files; a file-log archive needs a separate reviewed migration contract.

Commands

LEGACY_ROOT_DATABASE_URL=... pnpm --filter @sammo-ts/legacy-db-migration migrate gateway
LEGACY_GAME_DATABASE_URL=... pnpm --filter @sammo-ts/legacy-db-migration migrate game --profile che

After reviewing the JSON counts and excluded-table reasons, add GATEWAY_DATABASE_URL or GAME_DATABASE_URL and repeat with --apply.

For game archives, GAME_DATABASE_URL points at that profile's Core schema. The importer writes completed-history data to the shared legacy_archive PostgreSQL schema and writes only inheritance projections to the selected current profile schema. Accepted profiles are che,kwe,pwe,twe,nya,pya,hwe; run them separately against the same PostgreSQL database.

The individual commands also accept --mode incremental and --source-key. Use the ordered plan for production so every configured connection is checked before the Gateway stage starts.

Isolated current-season comparison fixture

current-season-fixture is separate from the long-lived archive migration. It replaces the running-season tables of an isolated Core test schema with a Ref MariaDB season so both implementations can be compared from the same persisted world. Never run it against a production or shared development schema.

Start from a cloned Core database whose scenario, year and month already match the Ref source. Dry-run verifies that contract and reports the planned counts:

LEGACY_GAME_DATABASE_URL=... GAME_DATABASE_URL=... \
  pnpm --filter @sammo-ts/legacy-db-migration migrate current-season-fixture \
  --profile hwe --expected-scenario 2601 --expected-year 186 --expected-month 1

Applying requires both destructive flags so an ordinary archive command cannot replace a running season accidentally:

LEGACY_GAME_DATABASE_URL=... GAME_DATABASE_URL=... \
  pnpm --filter @sammo-ts/legacy-db-migration migrate current-season-fixture \
  --profile hwe --expected-scenario 2601 --expected-year 186 --expected-month 1 \
  --replace-current-season --apply

The importer preserves the Core template's static city geometry and connection metadata, then imports Ref cities, nations, generals, queues, diplomacy, troops, ranks, messages, logs, events, markets, yearbook rows, current storage values and world clock in one PostgreSQL transaction. Ref message target keys are converted to the typed Core message payload. CURRENT_SEASON_CAPTURE_USER_ID may bind one Ref owner selected by CURRENT_SEASON_CAPTURE_SOURCE_OWNER to an existing Core test account; other positive owners receive deterministic legacy UUIDs.

Process locks, selection tokens, Redis-owned tournament brackets, legacy annual aggregate text and diplomatic-letter workflow are deliberately excluded and are listed in the JSON result. This fixture is evidence for persisted-state and GUI comparison, not proof that the two engines consume RNG identically after the next turn.

Kakao members retain their OAuth ID, email, and OAuth metadata. Only a row with a non-empty OAuth ID receives kakao_verified_at. kakao_grace_started_at is set to the migration time. The existing token_valid_until is copied to kakao_talk_verified_until for Kakao rows so a still-current “send to me” proof remains current after cutover. Imported 128-hex password hashes are marked for reset. They can be upgraded to Argon2id after the first successful login only when the DB-external GATEWAY_LEGACY_PASSWORD_GLOBAL_SALT is safely recovered. Otherwise, a verified Kakao flow requires a new password before session issuance. A non-Kakao account uses the CLI reset below. Reapplying a dump preserves the target account's current credential, OAuth, identity, roles, sanctions, consent, and login state.

Only tables present in the checked ref schemas are eligible. Extra tables found in a dump, such as an old root config table, are left in the recovery dump and are not silently imported.

For an isolated test account, put a temporary password in a mode-0600 file and run:

GATEWAY_DATABASE_URL=... pnpm --filter @sammo-ts/legacy-db-migration migrate \
  reset-password --login-id test-user --password-file /secure/path/password --apply

The password value is never accepted on the command line or printed.
