From b7a180e7caa40e17929d1d1ae0b7e19ec59dc20c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John McLear Date: Mon, 20 Apr 2026 09:28:52 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] feat(pad): compactHistory() + compactPad CLI for DB-size reclaim MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixes #6194. Long-lived pads with heavy edit history dominate the DB — the issue describes a ~400 MB Postgres after two months with ~100 users. Etherpad keeps every revision forever, and removing arbitrary middle revisions is unsafe because state is reconstructed by composing forward from key revisions. What's safe: collapse the full history into a single base revision that reproduces the current atext. The existing `copyPadWithoutHistory` already does this for a new pad ID — this PR lifts that same changeset pattern into an in-place operation and wires up an admin CLI. - `Pad.compactHistory(authorId?)` (src/node/db/Pad.ts): composes the current atext into one base changeset, deletes all existing rev records, clears saved-revision bookmarks, and appends the new rev 0. Text, attributes, and chat history are preserved; saved-revision pointers are cleared. Returns the number of revisions removed. - `API.compactPad(padID, authorId?)` (src/node/db/API.ts): public-API wrapper around compactHistory. Reports `{removed}` so callers can log savings. - `APIHandler.ts`: register `compactPad` under a new `1.3.1` version, bump `latestApiVersion`. - `bin/compactPad.ts`: admin CLI. Reports the current revision count, calls compactPad via the HTTP API, and prints how many revisions were dropped. - `src/tests/backend/specs/compactPad.ts`: four backend tests cover the empty-pad no-op, the text-preservation + head=0 contract, saved-revision cleanup, and that subsequent edits continue to append cleanly on top of the collapsed base. The operation is destructive so admins must opt in explicitly; the CLI prints the before-count, and the recommended pre-flight is an `.etherpad` export (backup).

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The initial compactHistory() implementation built a custom base changeset and re-ran appendRevision against a reset atext — but the changeset was packed with oldLength=2 (matching copyPadWithoutHistory's dest-pad init state) while the reset atext was only length 1, so applyToText tripped its "mismatched apply: 1 / 2" assertion and every test failed with a Changeset corruption error. Switch to the tested path instead: copy the pad via copyPadWithoutHistory to a uniquely-named temp pad (inherits all its attribute/pool/changeset correctness), read the temp pad's rev records back, delete the old ones under our pad's ID, write the new records in their place, update in-memory state to match, and remove the temp pad. Errors at any step fall through with a best-effort temp-pad cleanup. Contract shifts slightly: the collapsed pad is head<=1 rather than head=0, matching the shape of a freshly-imported pad (seed rev 0 + content rev 1). Tests updated to assert that invariant plus text-preservation, saved-revision cleanup, and append-after-compact.

The admin-settings UI wires these up but neither is exposed on the public API, and there's no CLI for operators who want to run compaction outside the web UI. That's the gap this PR now fills. Changes from the prior revision of this PR: - Drop `pad.compactHistory()` — it re-implemented what `Cleanup.deleteAllRevisions` already does. Remove the duplicate. - `API.compactPad(padID, keepRevisions?)` now delegates to Cleanup: • keepRevisions null/undefined → deleteAllRevisions (full collapse) • keepRevisions >= 0 → deleteRevisions(N) (keep last N) Returns {ok, mode: 'all' | 'keepLast', keepRevisions?}. - APIHandler `1.3.1`: signature updated to take `keepRevisions` instead of `authorId`. - `bin/compactPad.ts`: accepts `--keep N` for the keep-last mode, shows before/after revision counts so operators see concrete savings. - Backend tests rewritten around the public API surface (mode reporting, text preservation, input validation) rather than internal method plumbing that no longer exists. Net: strictly a thin public-API and CLI veneer over already-tested Cleanup helpers. No new low-level logic.

APIHandler.handle dispatches by URL field name, so the previous wiring silently dropped `keepRevisions` and never ran the keep-last branch over HTTP. - Register `['padID', 'keepRevisions']` so the handler forwards the CLI/HTTP arg into the API function. - Add HTTP-level dispatch tests that hit `/api/1.3.1/compactPad` with and without `keepRevisions`. The direct `api.compactPad()` tests bypass the handler and would have missed this regression. - Document compactPad in `doc/api/http_api.md` and `http_api.adoc`, and bump the documented latest version from 1.3.0 to 1.3.1 to match `latestApiVersion`.

For "reclaim space across the whole instance," composing `listAllPads` + `compactPad` yourself is annoying; this script does it. - Walks every pad on the instance and compacts it (full collapse, or `--keep N` keep-last). - Per-pad failures don't abort the run — they're logged, counted, and the script exits 1 if any failed. - `--dry-run` lists pads + revision counts without writing anything, so operators can scope impact before committing. - Reports `before → after` per pad and a total reclaimed count. Deliberately not adding a `compactAllPads` HTTP API: bulk compaction over a single HTTP request means one giant response and a long-held connection. Operators who want this should run it locally, where they can see progress and kill it cleanly. Staleness gating ("only pads older than X days") is tracked separately as a follow-up. Also registers `compactPad` and `compactAllPads` script aliases in `bin/package.json` so they show up next to the other admin CLIs.

The loop itself — error tolerance, dry-run gating, keep-last passthrough, the empty-instance and listAllPads-failure paths — had no automated coverage. - Refactor compactAllPads.ts to export `runCompactAll(api, opts, logger)` and `parseArgs(argv)`. The CLI shell wires them up to axios+APIKEY for production; tests use an in-memory `CompactAllApi` so we don't need to stand up the apikey-auth path in mocha. - Add 9 specs covering: arg parsing, full-collapse iteration, --keep N passthrough, --dry-run skipping writes, single-pad failure not aborting the run, pre-flight count failure tolerated, a listAllPads failure short-circuiting cleanly, the empty-instance no-op, and a final end-to-end test that runs `runCompactAll` against the real `/api/1.3.1/compactPad` handler over supertest+JWT to catch contract drift between the CompactAllApi shape and the HTTP endpoints.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three valid concerns from the Qodo review on 75a08a13: 1. **cleanup.enabled gate.** The admin/Cleanup-socket path checks `settings.cleanup.enabled` before doing anything destructive; the public API was bypassing that gate. Now `compactPad` mirrors the admin path's check and returns a clear apierror when disabled, so exposing the API doesn't accidentally widen the cleanup-opt-in surface. 2. **Number.isFinite → Number.isInteger.** `2.5` was finite and non-negative, so the old check let it through into `Cleanup.deleteRevisions`, which does revision-index arithmetic that assumes integer math. Reject at the API boundary instead of silently misbehaving. 3. **SSL-aware baseURL in the bin scripts.** Other bin scripts hardcode `http://`, but the rest of the codebase uses `settings.ssl ? 'https' : 'http'`. The compact CLIs now do the same, so they work against HTTPS deployments. (Other bin scripts carry the same bug but fixing them is out of scope for this PR.) Tests: - New spec: `rejects fractional keepRevisions` (2.5 with the old check passed; the new one rejects). - New spec: `refuses to run when cleanup.enabled is false`. The existing API tests opt in via a before-hook + restore, so they still cover the success path under the new gate. - API docs (`http_api.md` + `http_api.adoc`) document the gate and the new error message. Skipped Qodo concerns: - "Wrong compactPad parameters" — already fixed in 26e12ff7 (the param map now correctly says `keepRevisions`, not `authorId`). - "Unbounded revision deletions" / "No session eviction" / changeset base-length / padCreate hook — these all targeted the earlier on-Pad implementation that was refactored away. The current code wraps `Cleanup.deleteAllRevisions` / `deleteRevisions`, which already handle concurrency, locking, and hook semantics.
