# Phase 8 Plan 01: Derived Link/Tag Store + Maintenance Job Summary

**A new `internal/graph` package: SQLite `page_links`/`page_tags` derived-cache tables, a `KindGraph` job (upsert/delete/rebuild) cloning `search.KindIndex`, and `RebuildGraph` from on-disk `.md` files — reusing `okf.FindLinks` and the sequence-aware tag reader so deleting both tables and rebuilding reproduces byte-identical adjacency (LINK-01 derived-only invariant), proven `-race` clean.**

## Performance

- **Duration:** ~22 min
- **Tasks:** 3
- **Files created:** 10 (1 migration, 4 package files, 5 test files)

## Accomplishments
- Migration 0009: `page_links(src_path,dst_path)`, `page_tags(page_path,tag)`, `graph_meta(key,value)`, plus `idx_page_links_dst` (backlinks) and `idx_page_tags_tag` (shared-tag join) — all `IF NOT EXISTS`, idempotent.
- `internal/graph.Store` cloning `search.Index`'s constructor/setter shape (`OpenStore`/`SetRepo`/`SetGit`) and `search.meta`'s `readMeta`/`writeMeta`/`StoreHead`/`DriftCheck` against `graph_meta` (key `last_graphed_head`). Package does NOT import `internal/search` (verified via `go list -deps`).
- Edge + tag extraction reusing existing parsers: `outboundLinks` calls `okf.FindLinks` and resolves with `path.Clean(path.Join(path.Dir(src),dest))` mirroring `okf.RewriteLinks` (skips external/absolute/dangling/self/non-`.md`, dedupes, code-block links inherited-skipped); `pageTags` re-implements `search.readTags`'s sequence-aware `yaml.Node` walk (output parity verified against the real `readTags`).
- `KindGraph` job: `GraphHandler` with `defer recover()` + op dispatch (upsert/delete/rebuild), the three payload builders, `upsertPage` (per-page atomic replace; missing file ⇒ no-op delete), `deletePage` (inbound `OR` outbound edges + tag rows), and `RebuildGraph` (Tree walk skipping dirs/non-`.md`/trashed, one-tx rewrite of both tables, `StoreHead` last).
- The hard LINK-01 invariant test passes: delete both tables + `RebuildGraph` reproduces byte-identical `page_links`+`page_tags`. The CR-01-analog concurrency test passes under `-race`.

## Task Commits

1. **Task 1: Migration 0009 + graph Store skeleton** - `05fe2eb` (feat)
2. **Task 2: Edge + tag extraction (okf.FindLinks + tag parity)** - `4a54de6` (feat)
3. **Task 3: KindGraph job + RebuildGraph (TDD)** - `c55018c` (test, RED) → `70518ce` (feat, GREEN)

**Plan metadata:** committed separately with STATE.md + ROADMAP.md update.

## Files Created/Modified
- `internal/store/migrations/0009_graph.sql` - derived-cache tables + indexes + graph_meta
- `internal/graph/store.go` - Store type, meta/drift bookkeeping (graph_meta)
- `internal/graph/extract.go` - outboundLinks (okf.FindLinks reuse), pageTags (readTags parity), local splitFragment/isAbsoluteOrExternal/topMapping
- `internal/graph/graphjob.go` - KindGraph, payload builders, GraphHandler, upsertPage, deletePage
- `internal/graph/rebuild.go` - RebuildGraph from-files walk, trash skip, one-tx table rewrite
- `internal/graph/harness_test.go` - temp repo + migrated SQLite + gitstore harness (clones search harness)
- `internal/graph/store_test.go` - tables/inserts, migration idempotency, drift toggle
- `internal/graph/extract_test.go` - link resolution/code-block-skip/relative, tag shapes
- `internal/graph/rebuild_test.go` - derived-only invariant, incremental==rebuild, per-page upsert/delete scope, handler dispatch/recover
- `internal/graph/concurrency_test.go` - CR-01-analog -race test

## Decisions Made
- **Tag parity is enforced, not assumed:** ran the real `search.readTags` against the same doc bytes as `pageTags` in a throwaway test under the search package; outputs were identical for flow-sequence, block-list, single-scalar, no-tags (nil), empty-`[]` (`[]string{}`), and blank-item-skipped cases. (Throwaway test removed; not committed.)
- **Rebuild/incremental agreement on dangling edges:** `RebuildGraph` resolves link targets against the live-page set the walk produced; incremental `upsertPage` uses `repo.Exists`. Both are the same on-disk `.md` set, so a from-scratch rebuild and a sequence of incremental upserts produce identical rows (asserted by `TestIncrementalEqualsRebuild`).
- **Per-page upsert scope:** an upsert replaces only the target page's `src_path`/`page_path` rows; it does not resurrect an inbound edge owned by a different page. Documented in `TestGraphHandler_Dispatch`/`TestUpsertReplacesOnlyPageRows`.

## Deviations from Plan

### Adjusted test expectation (not a code deviation)

**1. [Rule 1 - Test correctness] Fixed an over-strict assertion in TestGraphHandler_Dispatch**
- **Found during:** Task 3 (GREEN)
- **Issue:** The initial test asserted that after `delete(a.md)` then re-`upsert(a.md)` the link count returns to 4. That is wrong: `delete(a)` removes the inbound edge `c->a` (owned by page c), and re-upserting `a` only restores a's *outbound* edges (a->b, a->c) — it cannot restore c->a. The implementation behaved correctly (per-page scope); the test's expectation was wrong.
- **Fix:** Asserted the correct 3-edge result `[a.md|b.md, a.md|c.md, b.md|c.md]` with a comment explaining per-page scope.
- **Files modified:** internal/graph/rebuild_test.go
- **Verification:** full suite + -race green
- **Committed in:** `70518ce` (Task 3 GREEN commit)

The plan's literal symbol assumptions all matched the real code (search.IndexHandler shape, okf.FindLinks/RewriteLinks resolution, search.readTags walk, store.Migrate/DB(), gitstore.HeadSHA, repo.Tree/Read/Exists), so no symbol-signature deviation was needed.

---

**Total deviations:** 1 test-expectation correction. **Impact:** None on shipped code; implementation matched the plan's per-page-replace intent. No scope creep.

## Issues Encountered
None beyond the test-expectation correction above.

## Self-Check Verification (actual command output)

```
### go build (CGO-free) ###            CGO_ENABLED=0 go build ./...   → exit=0
### go test ./internal/graph/ ###      ok  internal/graph  2.127s
### go test -race ###                  CGO_ENABLED=1 go test -race -run 'TestGraph_Concurrent|TestRebuildGraph|TestUpsert|TestDelete|TestDerivedOnly'  → ok  3.353s
### go vet ###                         go vet ./internal/graph/  → exit=0
### import guard ###                   go list -deps ./internal/graph | grep internal/search  → OK no search import
```

All verification + success criteria from the plan pass, including the hard derived-only rebuild-equivalence invariant and the `-race` concurrency test.

## User Setup Required
None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness
- **08-02 (mutation wiring)** can now enqueue `graph.UpsertPagePayload(path)` / `graph.DeletePagePayload(path)` on `graph.KindGraph` from the page save/delete/rename mutation hooks, and register `graph.GraphHandler(store, repo)` on the existing jobs worker (fire-and-forget `Enqueue`, never `EnqueueAndWait`).
- **08-03 (admin endpoint)** can enqueue `graph.RebuildPayload()` and use `(*Store).DriftCheck`/`StoreHead` for startup drift recovery, mirroring the search wiring.
- The exact exported names 08-02/08-03 wire against: `graph.OpenStore`, `graph.KindGraph`, `graph.GraphHandler`, `graph.UpsertPagePayload`, `graph.DeletePagePayload`, `graph.RebuildPayload`, `(*Store).RebuildGraph`, `(*Store).StoreHead`, `(*Store).DriftCheck`, `(*Store).SetRepo`, `(*Store).SetGit`.

## Self-Check: PASSED

All 10 created files exist on disk; all 4 task commits (`05fe2eb`, `4a54de6`, `c55018c`, `70518ce`) are present in `git log`.
