📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates repository guidance and plugin setup documentation. Backend changes add device and event pagination, optimize device tile counts, parameterize GUID lookups with supporting indexes, and normalize CurrentScan MAC values. Tests cover these behaviors.

Changes

Documentation and repository guidance

Layer / File(s) Summary
PRD performance and traceability guidance
.claude/skills/prd-writing/SKILL.md, .gemini/skills/prd-writing/SKILL.md, .github/skills/prd-writing/SKILL.md
PRD guidance now requires detailed prior-document review, complete index checks, realistic query-plan validation, and explicit test infrastructure assessment.
Research document hygiene rules
.claude/skills/skill-hygiene/SKILL.md, .gemini/skills/skill-hygiene/SKILL.md, .gemini/skills/skills-index/SKILL.md, .github/skills/skill-hygiene/SKILL.md, .github/skills/skills-overview/SKILL.md, .gitignore
Skill hygiene rules now cover research and audit documents, including removal or archival of resolved findings. The archive directory is ignored except for .gitkeep.
Plugin setup documentation
docs/PLUGINS_DEV_QUICK_START.md
The setup command renames the copied template file to script.py.

Backend behavior changes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Device and event pagination
server/api_server/openapi/schemas.py, server/api_server/api_server_start.py, server/models/device_instance.py, server/models/event_instance.py, test/api_endpoints/*
The /devices and /events endpoints accept validated limit and offset parameters. Model queries apply ordering and pagination, including deterministic event ordering and offset-only requests. Tests cover paging and validation errors.
Single-pass device tile aggregation
server/db/db_helper.py, test/db/test_devices_tiles.py
Device tile counts now use conditional aggregation over one DevicesView pass. Empty results return zero. Tests verify counts and query-plan behavior.
Parameterized indexed GUID lookup
server/workflows/triggers.py, server/db/db_upgrade.py, server/db/schema/app.sql, test/backend/test_workflows.py
Trigger GUID lookup now uses a bound SQL parameter. Devices.devGUID and Plugins_Objects.objectGuid receive indexes. Tests cover quoted GUIDs, lookup results, and index usage.
CurrentScan MAC normalization
server/plugin.py, test/db_test_helpers.py, test/scan/test_currentscan_mac_normalization.py
Non-empty mapped scanMac and scanParentMAC values are normalized before insertion. Tests cover uppercase and empty values.

This update mainly touches internal contributor guidance and a backend test file; no new functional, security, or data-integrity issues were found in this round. Two previously flagged documentation-guidance gaps (about index-inventory completeness and research-document hygiene scope) remain unresolved but are minor and do not block merging; they can be addressed as a follow-up.

In @.claude/skills/prd-writing/SKILL.md:
- Line 31: Update the performance-check guidance to inventory every SQLite
index, including unique indexes and indexes created by table constraints, rather
than relying only on CREATE INDEX searches. Require using PRAGMA index_list and
PRAGMA index_info or an equivalent complete inspection, and apply the same
guidance consistently in all three prd-writing skill documents.

In @.claude/skills/skill-hygiene/SKILL.md:
- Line 44: Update the hygiene sweep guidance around the existing three skill
directories to also include .gemini/internal-docs/research/, and replace
skill-specific history wording with document-neutral wording. Apply the same
change to the corresponding skill-hygiene instructions in each mirrored
location.

In `@server/db/db_helper.py`:
- Line 100: Update both aggregation paths in the tile-count query builder around
the visible SUM(CASE...) expression to wrap the SUM with COALESCE(..., 0),
ensuring every count including my_devices returns integer zero when DevicesView
is empty. Add a regression test for an empty database that verifies all tile
counts are zero.

In `@server/models/event_instance.py`:
- Around line 154-161: Update both event query ORDER BY clauses in the event
retrieval method to use a deterministic unique secondary key, such as rowid DESC
alongside eveDateTime DESC, before applying pagination. Extend
test_get_events_pagination with multiple events sharing one explicit event_time
and assert that concatenated pages reproduce the complete ordered result without
omissions or duplicates.

In `@test/backend/test_workflows.py`:
- Line 503: Before calling ensure_Indexes in the affected test setup, create
minimal Plugins_Objects and Plugins_History tables so every index target exists.
Keep the existing make_db flow and query-plan assertion unchanged.
- Line 474: Move the test-local imports of SimpleNamespace, Trigger, and
ensure_Indexes to module scope in test_workflows.py, removing the corresponding
imports from the test methods while leaving test behavior unchanged.

Included review availability: Your plan provides up to 8 included reviews per hour; 7 remain after this review.

7. **Write the test plan as part of the PRD, not after.** Concrete test cases — naming real functions/queries, not "add tests for X" — force you to notice design gaps you'd otherwise miss; the moment you try to write "assert Y happens" and realize the current design can't produce Y is often the first time the gap becomes visible. Check the repo for an existing test pattern for this shape of change before inventing a new one (e.g. a prior presence-logic bug fixed via `test/db_test_helpers.py` fixtures is the template for the next one, not a reason to build new test infrastructure).
8. **Ask explicitly whether validating this needs real end-to-end infrastructure** (a new or modified plugin, a UI click-through) or whether synthetic unit-level fixtures suffice — don't assume either way. Check whether the functions under test take a DB connection/dict/list as a parameter (testable in isolation, no real plugin needed) or require a real file on disk (harder to fake, may need one).
9. **Check performance against the real schema and real scale, not assumptions.** For every new or changed query: does it use an existing index, or add an unindexed lookup, a new join, or a correlated subquery? Grep `CREATE INDEX` — don't assume a column is indexed just because it looks like a key (check `server/db/db_upgrade.py`/`server/db/schema/app.sql`). Then weigh cost by how often the query runs (once is nothing; every few minutes forever is a standing cost) and by real scale — **production users run 10,000+ devices**, not a homelab handful. A `CurrentScan` with 2-5 rows per device (one per contributing plugin) is routinely 20,000-50,000+ rows in one cycle; reason about that number, not a smaller hopeful one. A correlated `EXISTS`/subquery re-evaluated per outer row is fine *if* the correlated column is indexed — e.g. `current_scan_presence_condition()` (`server/scan/presence.py`) is exactly this shape against `CurrentScan.scanMac`, covered by `idx_currentscan_scanmac`. The real risk is an unindexed correlated lookup: an accidental self-join scanning the full inner table per outer row, which looks fine and passes tests at small scale but isn't at production scale. Check with `EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN` at a realistic row count rather than assuming either way; if it comes back unindexed, a `GROUP BY` aggregate is the usual fix.
9. **Check performance against the real schema and real scale, not assumptions.** For every new or changed query: does it use an existing index, or add an unindexed lookup, a new join, or a correlated subquery? Grep `CREATE INDEX` for *every* index on the tables involved, not just the first one you find — a column can have both a plain index and a separate expression index (e.g. `idx_eve_mac_date_type ON Events(eveMac, ...)` alongside `idx_eve_lower_mac_date_type ON Events(LOWER(eveMac), ...)`), and missing the second one produces a wrong verdict. Then weigh cost by how often the query runs (once is nothing; every few minutes forever is a standing cost) and by real scale — **production users run 10,000+ devices**, not a homelab handful. A `CurrentScan` with 2-5 rows per device (one per contributing plugin) is routinely 20,000-50,000+ rows in one cycle; reason about that number, not a smaller hopeful one. A correlated `EXISTS`/subquery re-evaluated per outer row is fine *if* the correlated column is indexed — e.g. `current_scan_presence_condition()` (`server/scan/presence.py`) is exactly this shape against `CurrentScan.scanMac`, covered by `idx_currentscan_scanmac`. The real risk is an unindexed correlated lookup: an accidental self-join scanning the full inner table per outer row, which looks fine and passes tests at small scale but isn't at production scale. Check with `EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN` at a realistic row count, built against the *complete* real index set (copy every `CREATE INDEX` for the table, or run it against an actual `app.db`) rather than a hand-picked subset — a partial index set produces a misleading plan in either direction, not just "looks worse than it is." If it comes back unindexed for real, a `GROUP BY` aggregate is the usual fix.

Include all SQLite index forms in the index inventory.

The literal CREATE INDEX search misses unique indexes and indexes created by table constraints. An incomplete index set can produce a false EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN result.

  • .claude/skills/prd-writing/SKILL.md#L31-L31: Use PRAGMA index_list and PRAGMA index_info, or cover all index forms explicitly.

Update the hygiene sweep for research documents.

The new section broadens the rule to research documents, but Lines 34-37 still define a sweep over only the three skill directories. The text also refers only to the skill's history.
