Database Module

apps/server/db/ — SQLite database via better-sqlite3 + Drizzle ORM with hexagonal architecture.

Architecture

• Schema: apps/server/db/schema.ts — all tables, columns, relations
• Ports (interfaces): apps/server/db/repositories/*.ts — 10 repository interfaces
• Adapters (implementations): apps/server/db/repositories/drizzle/*.ts — 10 Drizzle adapters
• Barrel exports: apps/server/db/index.ts re-exports everything

All adapters use nanoid() for IDs, auto-manage timestamps, and use Drizzle's .returning() for atomic reads after writes.

Tables

Repository Interfaces

11 repositories, each with standard CRUD plus domain-specific methods:

Repository	Key Methods
InitiativeRepository	create, findById, findAll, findByStatus, update, delete
PhaseRepository	+ createDependency, getDependencies, getDependents, findByInitiativeId
TaskRepository	+ findByParentTaskId, findByPhaseId, findPendingApproval, createDependency
AgentRepository	+ findByName, findByTaskId, findBySessionId, findByStatus
MessageRepository	+ findPendingForUser, findRequiringResponse, findReplies
PageRepository	+ findRootPage, getOrCreateRootPage, findByParentPageId
ProjectRepository	+ junction ops: setInitiativeProjects (diff-based), findProjectsByInitiativeId
AccountRepository	+ findNextAvailable (round-robin), markExhausted, clearExpiredExhaustion
ProposalRepository	+ findByAgentIdAndStatus, updateManyByAgentId, countByAgentIdAndStatus
LogChunkRepository	insertChunk, findByAgentId, deleteByAgentId, getSessionCount
ConversationRepository	create, findById, findPendingForAgent, answer

Migrations

Located in drizzle/. Applied via ensureSchema() on startup using Drizzle's migrate().

Key rules:

• Never use raw SQL for schema initialization
• Run npx drizzle-kit generate to create migrations
• See database-migrations.md for full workflow
• Snapshots stale after 0008; migrations 0008+ are hand-written

Current migrations: 0000 through 0026 (27 total).
