# AirCoding Session DB Schema V1

Date: 2026-05-26
Status: Canonical schema baseline for V1.0.0 Alpha skeleton

This document defines the first implementation-facing SQLite schema for per-session state.

Session DB path:

```text
<project>/.air/local/sessions/<session-id>/session.db
```

Project-level DBs remain outside this session schema:

```text
<project>/.air/local/debug-records.db
<project>/.air/local/learned-memory.db
```

## 1. SQLite Runtime Settings

```sql
PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL;
PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL;
PRAGMA foreign_keys = OFF;
```

Rationale:

- WAL supports concurrent read/write patterns needed by runtime and TUI projection.
- `NORMAL` is sufficient for local session state and faster than `FULL`.
- Foreign keys are disabled in MVP to reduce migration/recovery complexity. Application-level consistency checks handle references. This can be revisited after schema stabilizes.

Transaction rules:

- A durable event insert and its corresponding domain table update must be in the same transaction.
- Artifact file writes use temp file → atomic rename → DB record.
- `ui_state` is flushed periodically and on normal exit.

## 2. schema_meta

```sql
CREATE TABLE schema_meta (
  key TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  value TEXT NOT NULL
);
```

Initial keys:

```text
schema_version = 1
created_by = aircoding
created_at = <ISO time>
aircoding_version_created = <version>
aircoding_version_last_opened = <version>
```

## 3. sessions

```sql
CREATE TABLE sessions (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  project_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  project_root TEXT NOT NULL,
  title TEXT,
  status TEXT NOT NULL,
  created_at TEXT NOT NULL,
  updated_at TEXT NOT NULL,
  exited_at TEXT,
  model_provider_id TEXT,
  model_id TEXT,
  metadata_json TEXT
);
```

Status values:

```text
active | archived | deleted
```

## 4. messages

```sql
CREATE TABLE messages (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  session_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  role TEXT NOT NULL,
  canonical_format TEXT NOT NULL,
  content_json TEXT NOT NULL,
  parent_message_id TEXT,
  route_json TEXT,
  created_at TEXT NOT NULL,
  token_estimate INTEGER,
  metadata_json TEXT
);

CREATE INDEX idx_messages_session_created
ON messages(session_id, created_at);
```

`canonical_format` is `anthropic` in V1.

## 5. message_drafts

```sql
CREATE TABLE message_drafts (
  message_id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  session_id TEXT NOT NULL,
  role TEXT NOT NULL,
  canonical_format TEXT NOT NULL,

  created_at TEXT NOT NULL,
  updated_at TEXT NOT NULL,
  metadata_json TEXT
);

CREATE INDEX idx_drafts_session_status
ON message_drafts(session_id, status);
```

Drafts are deleted after the completed message is written to `messages`.

Status values:

```text
streaming | interrupted | error
```

);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_ui_state_session_scope_key

`ui_state` is not a source of truth for runtime state. It stores route, active panel, layout, scroll, collapse state, selected tab, and HUD preset.

## 19. V1 Summary

Frozen decisions:

1. Session DB is project-local and per-session.
2. WAL + synchronous NORMAL + foreign_keys OFF.
3. No `message_parts` source-of-truth table in V1.0.0 Alpha.
4. Canonical messages are Anthropic content JSON.
5. Draft messages exist only during streaming/incomplete assistant output.
6. Domain tables are scheduling/recovery/query source of truth.
7. JSON columns preserve full object fidelity; frequently queried relationships are extracted into columns and indexes.
8. Durable event + domain update must be transactional.
9. Artifact files are written temp → rename → DB record.
10. UI state is flushed periodically and on normal exit.

## 20. Project-Level DBs

Two project-level databases live under `<project>/.air/local/`:

### 20.1 debug-records.db

```sql
PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL;
PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL;
PRAGMA foreign_keys = OFF;

CREATE TABLE debug_records (

  summary TEXT NOT NULL,
  root_cause TEXT,
  fix_ref TEXT,
  evidence_json TEXT,
  verification_json TEXT,
  created_at TEXT NOT NULL,
  updated_at TEXT NOT NULL,
  metadata_json TEXT
);

CREATE INDEX idx_debug_records_signature
ON debug_records(failure_signature);

CREATE INDEX idx_debug_records_task
ON debug_records(task_id);
```

### 20.2 learned-memory.db

```sql
PRAGMA journal_mode = WAL;
PRAGMA synchronous = NORMAL;
PRAGMA foreign_keys = OFF;

CREATE TABLE learned_memories (
  id TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
  memory_type TEXT NOT NULL,
  summary TEXT NOT NULL,
  content TEXT,
  source_entity_type TEXT,
  source_entity_id TEXT,

CREATE INDEX idx_learned_memories_status
ON learned_memories(status);
```
