### Managing the LLM (AI) index {#llm-index}
When the [AI features](advanced_usage.md#ai-features) are enabled with an embedding
backend, Paperless-ngx maintains a vector index of your documents used for
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), similar-document retrieval, and document chat. The
index is updated automatically on the schedule set by
[`PAPERLESS_LLM_INDEX_TASK_CRON`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_LLM_INDEX_TASK_CRON), but you
can manage it manually:
```
document_llmindex {rebuild,update,compact,migrate}
```
Specify `rebuild` to build the index from scratch from all documents in the database. Use
this the first time you enable the feature, or after changing the embedding backend or
model.
Specify `update` to incrementally index new and changed documents. This is what the
scheduled task runs.
Specify `compact` to reclaim space and optimize the on-disk vector store.

These commands have no effect unless AI is enabled and an embedding backend is
configured.

## AI features {#ai-features}
Paperless-ngx includes a set of optional features backed by a large language model
(LLM): AI-assisted suggestions, similar-document retrieval, and a document chat. They
are **off by default** and never replace the built-in, non-LLM
[matching and suggestions](#matching).
!!! warning
Enabling these features sends document content (and metadata) to the LLM backend you
configure. If that backend is a remote/hosted provider, your documents leave your
server and may incur usage charges. Consider the privacy implications before enabling,
and prefer a local backend (Ollama, or a self-hosted OpenAI-compatible gateway) if that
matters to you.
All AI settings can be supplied as `PAPERLESS_AI_*` environment variables (see
[configuration](configuration.md#ai)) or set in the admin under
**Settings → Application Configuration**; the database value takes precedence over the
environment.
### Enabling the AI features
At a minimum you need to enable AI and choose an LLM backend:
- [`PAPERLESS_AI_ENABLED`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_ENABLED) — master switch.
- [`PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_BACKEND`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_BACKEND) — `ollama`
(runs locally) or `openai-like` (OpenAI itself or any OpenAI-compatible API).
- [`PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_MODEL`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_MODEL), and for
`openai-like` usually [`PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_API_KEY`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_API_KEY)
and/or [`PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_ENDPOINT`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_ENDPOINT). Ollama
requires `PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_ENDPOINT` pointing at your Ollama server.
See the community-maintained wiki page on
[choosing AI models](https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/wiki/AI-Model-Recommendations)
for suggested generation and embedding models.
### AI-assisted suggestions
With AI enabled, Paperless-ngx can suggest a title, tags, correspondent, document type,
storage path and dates by sending the document to the LLM. This is **opt-in per request**
and surfaces through the "Suggest" control on the document detail page, alongside the
classic classifier-based suggestions — it does not disable them. Suggestions are requested
automatically when you open a document that carries an inbox tag unless "Automatically request
suggestions for inbox documents" under Settings > Documents is disabled. Suggestion output
language can be steered with
[`PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_OUTPUT_LANGUAGE`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_OUTPUT_LANGUAGE)
(otherwise it follows the user's UI language).
### The LLM index (RAG) and similar documents
Setting an embedding backend turns on the **LLM index**, a vector index of your documents
that enables Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). When enabled, suggestions are grounded
in similar existing documents, and the document chat can retrieve relevant context.
Enable it by setting
[`PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_EMBEDDING_BACKEND`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_EMBEDDING_BACKEND)
(`huggingface` for fully-local embeddings, or `ollama` / `openai-like`). By default, the main
LLM API key and endpoint are used, but an optional embedding-specific[API key](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_EMBEDDING_API_KEY)
and [endpoint](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_EMBEDDING_ENDPOINT) can be configured.
The index is only built when AI is enabled **and** an embedding backend is set.
The index is updated automatically on a schedule controlled by
[`PAPERLESS_LLM_INDEX_TASK_CRON`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_LLM_INDEX_TASK_CRON) (daily by
default), and can be rebuilt or compacted manually — see
[Managing the LLM index](administration.md#llm-index).
!!! note
Local embeddings via `huggingface` download the embedding model on first use into the
Paperless data directory. The first run therefore needs network access and some disk
space.
### Document chat
When the LLM index is enabled, the chat control in the top app toolbar answers questions
about your documents. It operates over a single document or across multiple documents
depending on the current view, and its answers include links to the source documents it
drew from.
### AI Security notes
- Document content is passed to the LLM as **untrusted data**.
- By default Paperless-ngx allows AI endpoints that resolve to private/loopback addresses
(for local backends). Set
[`PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_ALLOW_INTERNAL_ENDPOINTS`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_AI_LLM_ALLOW_INTERNAL_ENDPOINTS)
to `false` to block them.

## _Does Paperless-ngx use AI, and is my data private?_
## _What about the Redis licensing change and using one of the open source forks_?
**A:** Paperless-ngx includes optional AI features — LLM-based suggestions, document chat,
and similar-document retrieval — that are **disabled by default**. They only run when you
enable them and configure an LLM backend. The built-in tag/correspondent suggestions use a
local, non-LLM machine-learning model and do not send your data anywhere. If you enable the
LLM features, document content is sent to whichever backend you configure — this can be a
fully local backend (e.g. Ollama) or a remote provider. See
[AI features](advanced_usage.md#ai-features) for details.
Currently (October 2024), forks of Redis such as Valkey or Redirect are not officially supported by our upstream
libraries, so using one of these to replace Redis is not officially supported.
## _Which message broker should I use_?
Paperless-ngx talks to a Redis-compatible message broker, so any broker that
implements the Redis protocol will work. The bundled Docker Compose files
default to [Valkey](https://valkey.io/), the open-source fork created after
Redis' licensing change, but Redis itself and other wire-compatible brokers
(such as Microsoft's Garnet) are equally fine.
Existing installs can switch broker implementations in place: point
[`PAPERLESS_REDIS`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_REDIS) at the new instance and
reuse the same data volume.
However, they do claim to be compatible with the Redis protocol and will likely work, but we will
not be updating from using Redis as the broker officially just yet.

## Minimum CPU Requirements (NumPy Baseline)
Starting with NumPy 2.4.0, official `manylinux` x86_64 wheels are compiled with a minimum
CPU baseline of `x86-64-v2`, which requires SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, POPCNT, and
CMPXCHG16B. This is a [deliberate upstream change](https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/27851)
citing that these instructions have been present in over 99.7% of CPUs since 2008
([Intel](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nehalem_(microarchitecture)>)) or 2011
([AMD](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulldozer_(microarchitecture)>)).
NumPy is a dependency of the document classifier (via scikit-learn), so any CPU that
predates SSE4.2 support will crash with `SIGILL` (illegal instruction) when the classifier
is loaded or trained, regardless of whether AI features are enabled.
This differs from NumPy's optional SIMD dispatch (e.g. AVX2, AVX512), which is detected and
selected safely at runtime - the `x86-64-v2` requirement above is a hard floor baked into the
wheel, with no runtime fallback.
### Affected hardware
CPUs older than roughly 2008 (Intel) or 2011 (AMD) that lack SSE4.2 support. This is more
likely to affect low-power or embedded hardware - e.g. early Atom, Celeron, or pre-Bulldozer
AMD chips - than typical desktop or server hardware from the last decade.
Check for SSE4.2 support with:
```bash
grep -o -m1 sse4_2 /proc/cpuinfo
```
If this prints nothing, your CPU is affected.
### Symptoms
The Celery worker (and potentially the web server) repeatedly crashes and restarts with a
`SIGILL` error, typically visible in `dmesg`/`journalctl` as a `trap invalid opcode` inside
`_multiarray_umath...so`. Because the classifier is trained on a periodic schedule
(hourly, by default), affected instances see intermittent, hard-to-reproduce document
consumption failures whenever that scheduled task runs and takes down the worker process
mid-task.
### Action Required (for affected hardware only)
There is no way to make the classifier itself work on such CPUs - it requires an unofficial
NumPy build with `cpu-baseline=none`, which is not something we can ship. The practical
path forward is to stop the classifier from ever loading or training, which avoids
importing NumPy at all:
```bash
PAPERLESS_TRAIN_TASK_CRON=disable
```
This disables the periodic classifier training task (see
[`PAPERLESS_TRAIN_TASK_CRON`](configuration.md#PAPERLESS_TRAIN_TASK_CRON)). Automatic
matching based on the classifier (suggested correspondents, document types, tags, and
storage paths from trained rules) will no longer be available, but rule-based matching is
unaffected, and document consumption itself will no longer be at risk of crashing the
worker.
## Database Migrations
Some integer fields have been changed to smaller types to reduce database size. If you have any `MailRule` records with a `maximum_age` greater than 32767, they will be clamped to 32767 during the migration to avoid errors during migration.
### Action Required
No user action is required. The migration will automatically clamp any `MailRule.maximum_age` values greater than 32767 to 32767 during the migration process.

# Vector Store Alternatives to LanceDB (issue #12970 research)
Date: 2026-06-10
Trigger: [paperless-ngx#12970](https://github.com/paperless-ngx/paperless-ngx/issues/12970), LanceDB wheels SIGILL at import on non-AVX2 x86_64 CPUs.
Method: deep-research web sweep (22 sources, 25 claims adversarially verified, 21 confirmed / 4 refuted) plus local empirical testing of every candidate wheel under qemu-user CPU emulation, plus a brute-force latency benchmark.
## TL;DR
1. **Waiting on upstream is not a plan.** The AVX2 baseline in LanceDB wheels is a deliberate, maintainer-defended build choice. The compat tracking issue (lance#2195) was closed as Stale / not_planned on 2026-01-22, the runtime-dispatch PR (lance#6630) is unmerged, and `lancedb-compat` on PyPI is a 404.
2. **faiss is no longer a safe fallback either.** The new Meta-published faiss-cpu 1.14.2 wheel ships a single AVX2 binary and SIGILLs on pre-Haswell CPUs (verified empirically). Only the archived community 1.13.2 wheel still carries the generic fallback.
3. **sqlite-vec is the best structural replacement.** Pure C, zero dependencies, plain SQLite file, metadata columns with SQL filtering, passes the pre-AVX2 emulation test, and brute-force search at 100K x 768 dims is ~185 ms/query, faster than LanceDB exact search on the same data.
4. **Recommendation:** short-term, ship a pre-flight CPUID check that disables AI cleanly instead of crashing. Real fix, port `PaperlessLanceVectorStore` to a sqlite-vec backend (the method surface maps almost 1:1 onto SQL); decide then whether sqlite-vec replaces LanceDB outright or serves as the non-AVX2 fallback.
## Constraints a replacement must satisfy
From PR #12944 (the FAISS -> LanceDB switch) and the current `PaperlessLanceVectorStore` surface:
- Embedded / file-based under `LLM_INDEX_DIR`, no extra service container.
- Published wheels must run on pre-Haswell x86_64 (no baked-in AVX2) and on arm64.
- Multi-process: Celery workers + granian web workers; writers already serialized via FileLock, readers must not be blocked.
- Per-document upsert/delete; metadata filtering (EQ / IN on `document_id`).
- Real deletes (not tombstone-forever), not loading the whole index into memory.
- Scale target ~1K-500K chunks of f32 embeddings (384-1536 dims); exact search acceptable below ~100K rows.
- Wrappable behind the existing llama-index `BasePydanticVectorStore` subclass shape.
## Empirical SIGILL matrix (qemu-user 8.2.2)
Each candidate ran a real insert + top-k search workload (50 vectors, 384 dims) natively and under two emulated CPUs. Host: Xeon E5-2683 v4 (Broadwell, AVX2), Python 3.12, manylinux x86_64 wheels as published on PyPI 2026-06-10.
- `Westmere` = SSE4.2, no AVX. Same ISA class as the Atom C3758 from issue #12970.
- `SandyBridge` = AVX, no AVX2. The Sandy/Ivy Bridge users in the upstream reports.
| Package | Version | Native | Westmere | SandyBridge |
| --------------------------- | ------- | ------ | --------------------- | --------------------- |
| lancedb | 0.33.0 | PASS | **SIGILL** | **SIGILL** |
| sqlite-vec | 0.1.9 | PASS | PASS | PASS |
| faiss-cpu (Meta wheel) | 1.14.2 | PASS | **SIGILL** | **SIGILL** |
| faiss-cpu (community wheel) | 1.13.2 | PASS | PASS | PASS |
| usearch | 2.25.3 | PASS | PASS | PASS |
| duckdb | 1.5.3 | PASS | PASS | PASS |
| chromadb | 1.5.9 | PASS | PASS | PASS |
| qdrant-client (local mode) | 1.18.0 | PASS | PASS | PASS |
| voyager | 2.1.0 | PASS | PASS | PASS |
| milvus-lite | 3.0 | PASS | **SIGILL** (via deps) | **SIGILL** (via deps) |
| numpy brute force | 2.4.6 | PASS | PASS | PASS |
The lancedb crash reproduces issue #12970 exactly (SIGILL during import), which validates the harness.
Dependency-level isolation of the failures:
- **pyarrow 24.0.0 passes on both emulated CPUs.** Its runtime dispatch is sound; the lancedb crash is entirely the lance Rust core.
- **pandas 3.0.3 requires AVX**: SIGILL at import on Westmere, passes on SandyBridge. (numpy 2.4.6 alone passes everywhere.)
- **milvus-lite 3.0 itself is pure Python** (the v3.0.0 release, 2026-05-13, is an explicit pure-Python rewrite; the wheel contains no native code). The SIGILLs come from its mandatory dependency stack: pandas kills it at import on Westmere, and on SandyBridge something in the pymilvus client init path (69 loaded C extensions, pandas/pyarrow/grpcio/protobuf) still executes an illegal instruction.
### faiss-cpu wheel forensics
The portability regression is visible in the wheel contents:
- 1.13.2 (community faiss-wheels, now archived): `_swigfaiss.abi3.so` + `_swigfaiss_avx2.abi3.so` + `_swigfaiss_avx512.abi3.so`, with a runtime loader that picks by CPUID. Passes on all emulated CPUs.
- 1.14.2 (first Meta-published wheel): a single `_swigfaiss.abi3.so` (6.1 MB) + `libfaiss.so` (14 MB). No generic variant exists, so the loader has nothing to fall back to. SIGILL on both pre-AVX2 CPUs.
Pinning to 1.13.2 means pinning to an archived repo, a dead end. Worth reporting upstream to facebookresearch/faiss as a packaging regression, but do not build paperless's plan on it.
## Brute-force latency (native, 100K vectors x 768 dims, top-10)
| Store | Insert 100K | Query |
| ----------------------------------------- | ----------- | ---------- |
| sqlite-vec 0.1.9 (file) | 18.0 s | **185 ms** |
| lancedb 0.33.0 exact, no ANN index (file) | 9.1 s | 497 ms |
| numpy in-memory | n/a | 262 ms |
100K x 768 is already a large paperless install (the PR #12944 author's own index was ~40-53 MB, roughly 15-20K chunks). Scaling linearly, 500K rows lands near ~1 s/query for sqlite-vec, slow but usable for suggestions/chat; below 100K it is comfortably interactive. Exact search also means no recall loss, no ANN index builds, and no compaction cycle.
## Per-candidate assessment
### sqlite-vec 0.1.9 — recommended
- **ISA:** pure C with no SIMD baseline assumptions; passed Westmere and SandyBridge. No SIGILL reports found upstream.
- **Fit:** the `vec0` virtual table gives metadata columns (since v0.1.6) and partition keys, so `document_id` EQ/IN filtering is a SQL WHERE clause, the same shape as the current `_build_where()`. Persistence is one SQLite file; the existing FileLock writer serialization plus WAL mode covers Celery + granian (WAL readers do not block on the writer).
- **Method mapping:** `merge_insert` -> DELETE + INSERT in one transaction; `compact()` -> no-op or `PRAGMA incremental_vacuum`; stored model name -> a one-row meta table; `get_modified_times()` -> `SELECT document_id, modified`; `vector_dim()` -> declared column type. Real deletes work (`DELETE FROM t WHERE ...`).
- **Project health (verified 2026-06-10):** commit concentration is real, asg017 has 441 commits and the next contributor 5, and the version is still pre-1.0 (v0.1.9 stable, v0.1.10-alpha.4 of 2026-05-18 current). But the institutional backing is substantial: sqlite-vec is a Mozilla Builders project (Mozilla is the main sponsor, announced June 2024, plus Fly.io / Turso / SQLite Cloud / Shinkai), and **Firefox vendors and ships it**: `third_party/sqlite3/ext/sqlite-vec` in mozilla-central is pinned to v0.1.10-alpha.4 (vendored within days of release), gated by `MOZ_SQLITE_VEC0_EXT` for browser builds, with its own Bugzilla component (Core :: SQLite and Embedded Database Bindings) and vendoring automation. A project on the Firefox release train is unlikely to silently die; Mozilla has both the motive and the means to maintain it.
- **ANN is no longer "never":** the vendored tree and the v0.1.10 alpha commits show IVF (+ k-means, DiskANN, rescore) actively in development (`sqlite-vec-ivf.c`, `sqlite-vec-diskann.c`, "Rename all IVF shadow tables" etc.). The original report claim that ANN never shipped (issue #25) is true for stable releases but stale as a trajectory: the >100K-row story is being built right now, likely Mozilla-driven.
- **Risks:** brute-force only in stable releases today; effectively one code author; pre-1.0 versioning. The vec0 KNN operator support for `IN` on metadata vs partition-key columns should be verified during implementation.
- **Version pin warning (2026-06-10 follow-up audit):** the 0.1.9 wheel is built with no SIMD flags (verified via `vec_debug()` and qemu), but the **0.1.10-alpha.4 wheel bakes in `-mavx` with no runtime dispatch** and can SIGILL on AVX-less CPUs, the same failure mode as LanceDB. Pin `==0.1.9` and audit wheel flags before any bump. Full mapping + risk register: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-10-sqlite-vec-vector-store-design.md`.
- **Deps:** zero. Removes lancedb + pylance (and their ~40 MB of wheels) if it replaces rather than supplements.
### faiss-cpu — was the pre-LanceDB store; now disqualified by packaging
Runtime dispatch worked in the community wheels, but paperless moved off FAISS in PR #12944 for good reasons (no metadata filtering, no real deletes, full in-memory docstore), and the 1.14.2 Meta wheels reintroduce the exact SIGILL this research is trying to escape. Going back is strictly worse than LanceDB today.
### usearch 2.25.3 / voyager 2.1.0 — ISA-safe but structurally poor fits
Both pass emulation (usearch via SimSIMD's compile-everything-dispatch-at-runtime design). Neither stores metadata or payloads: filtering is predicate callbacks (usearch) or absent (voyager), persistence is whole-index save/load files, and node content would need a SQLite sidecar maintained by the wrapper. That is the same integration work as FAISS with less ecosystem support. Only attractive if ANN performance at >500K rows ever becomes the binding constraint.
### ChromaDB 1.5.9 — ISA-safe (new data), blocked on multi-process
Passed both emulated CPUs (the web sweep had no surviving verified claims on Chroma; this is new evidence). But embedded `PersistentClient` does not support concurrent access from multiple processes (Chroma's documented system constraint), which Celery + granian violate immediately; the supported concurrent mode is the Chroma server, i.e. an extra container. Also the heaviest dependency tree of the candidates. Disqualified.
### DuckDB 1.5.3 — ISA-safe, blocked on file locking
Passed both emulated CPUs; `array_distance` over a FLOAT[n] column works fine for exact search and SQL filtering. But a DuckDB file allows either one read-write process or many read-only processes, not both at once, so granian readers would be locked out during Celery writes (today's LanceDB readers are lock-free, and SQLite WAL readers are too). The VSS/HNSW extension's persistence is still marked experimental. Disqualified for this use.
### qdrant-client local mode — ISA-safe, hard multi-process lock
Local mode is numpy-based and passed emulation, but it takes an exclusive portalocker lock on the storage dir; a second process gets `RuntimeError` directing you to the Qdrant server. Maintainer-confirmed as out of scope (qdrant-client#765). Disqualified.
### milvus-lite 3.0 — pure Python now, still disqualified
v3.0.0 (2026-05-13) rewrote Milvus Lite in pure Python (custom LSM-style engine: memtable/WAL/segments/manifest, no native code in the wheel), and the v2-era exclusive-lock behavior is gone: a second process can open the same DB concurrently (verified locally, no lock files created). Two corrections to the web-research-era assessment, in its favor. It still fails for paperless: the mandatory pymilvus dependency stack (pandas 3.x, pyarrow, grpcio, protobuf) SIGILLs on both pre-AVX2 test CPUs, so the portability problem is merely relocated, and the dependency weight is the largest of any candidate. Its concurrent-writer safety through the custom storage engine is also unproven (no documented multi-process write story for the rewrite).
### numpy / llama-index SimpleVectorStore — portable but regressive
Always works, but it is the load-everything-into-RAM model that PR #12944 deliberately left behind. Acceptable only as a last-resort fallback tier.
### SQLite team's Vec1 (evaluated 2026-06-10, post-report; promising later, not now)
The SQLite project's own vector extension (https://sqlite.org/vec1, single `vec1.c`, IVFADC+OPQ ANN plus exact NN/flat modes, L2+cosine, metadata columns with in-index filter pushdown, streaming filtered queries). Why it loses today despite the gold-standard maintainership:
1. **Pre-release**: the project page says "No further features are required before first release. But: Testing is insufficient" and "almost all paths require optimization". No first release has happened.
2. **The same SIGILL trap, documented as the build model**: recommended build is `-mavx2 -mfma`, and the docs state binaries built that way "will not work on systems that lack them". A multi-arch Makefile target exists, but compile-time SIMD selection is the design; shipping it safely for #12970-class CPUs is on the packager.
3. **No distribution**: no PyPI wheels, no package at all; paperless would vendor and compile it for Docker AND ask bare-metal users to do the same.
4. **Filter pushdown has no `IN`**: in-index filtering supports `<, >, =, >=, <=, IS` only. The store's primary query is `document_id IN (...)`; with vec1 that means streaming queries + JOIN post-filtering, with the manual's own documented silently-reduced-K pitfall.
5. Rowid-keyed only (no TEXT pk; node UUIDs need a mapping table) and metadata columns are "optimized for small values (say 8 bytes)", so the node-content JSON needs a sidecar table anyway. ANN mode requires offline `vec1_train()` model training, retraining as data evolves, and rerank discipline; the untrained exact modes are usable but then vec1's distinctive ANN advantage is unused.
Worth re-evaluating after its first release if it grows a packaging story; the store-behind-`BasePydanticVectorStore` design and the migration machinery make a later vec1 backend the same bounded port as this one.
### Vectorlite (dark horse, not tested)
SQLite extension wrapping hnswlib with Google Highway runtime dispatch; v0.2.0 explicitly fixed an AVX2-wheel crash, the exact failure mode at issue. Verification of its arm64 wheels and maintenance health was inconclusive in the web sweep and it was not in the local matrix. Could be revisited if sqlite-vec's lack of ANN ever bites.
## Recommendation
**Step 1 (ship now, fixes #12970):** pre-flight CPU check before any `lancedb` import: read `/proc/cpuinfo` flags (or CPUID via py-cpuinfo) for `avx2`; on failure, disable the AI feature with a clear system-check error / log line instead of crashing celery and granian. This matches the resolution the issue itself suggests and is independent of any store decision. A SIGILL cannot be caught, so the check must gate the import.
**Step 2 (the real fix): port the store to sqlite-vec.** `PaperlessLanceVectorStore` was designed as a thin, self-contained adapter and that pays off here: every method maps directly onto SQL against a `vec0` table plus a small meta table. Two deployment shapes:
- **(a) Full replacement** (my lean): one code path, one store to test, drops the lancedb dependency entirely, plain SQLite file artifact, and the benchmark shows exact search beating LanceDB's exact path at 100K rows. Costs: no ANN above ~100K rows (about ~1 s/query at 500K), and a one-time index rebuild on upgrade (already a routine paperless operation, `document_llmindex rebuild`).
- **(b) Dual backend**: keep LanceDB on AVX2 hosts, sqlite-vec on the rest, selected by the step-1 CPU check. Preserves ANN for very large installs, but doubles the test/maintenance surface and keeps the lancedb dependency for everyone.
Given realistic paperless index sizes (tens of thousands of chunks, not hundreds of thousands) and the cost of maintaining two stores, (a) is the better trade unless telemetry/user reports say otherwise. If lance#6630 eventually merges and lancedb wheels gain runtime dispatch, that decision can be revisited with no architectural debt.
**Migration machinery (PR #12968) carries over.** The in-place LanceDB migration framework in paperless-ngx#12968 (structural migrations vs full re-embed, so users paying for embeddings only re-pay when the vectors themselves change) is needed regardless of store, and its split survives a backend swap intact:
- On sqlite-vec, "structural" migrations are SQL DDL. vec0 virtual tables do not support arbitrary `ALTER TABLE`, so the standard pattern is create-new-table + `INSERT INTO ... SELECT` + drop + rename, which copies vectors without re-embedding, the exact same cost class as LanceDB's `add_columns`/`alter_columns`. A schema version lives in the same meta table as the embedding model name.
- The framework is also the natural vehicle for the store swap itself: on AVX2 hosts, a one-time cross-store migration can read rows out of the existing Lance table and insert them into sqlite-vec with **no re-embedding** (vectors copy as-is). Only non-AVX2 hosts, which today crash outright and therefore have no usable index, need a fresh rebuild.
## Caveats and open questions
- qemu TCG faithfully reproduces CPUID-gated SIGILLs but is not a performance environment; latency numbers are native-host only.
- Westmere lacks AVX entirely, slightly stricter than the Atom C3758 (Goldmont, SSE4.2) in the issue; SandyBridge covers the AVX-but-no-AVX2 reports. Both fail lancedb, so the conclusion is insensitive to the exact tier.
- Chroma multi-process and DuckDB locking conclusions come from documentation and upstream issues, not local tests.
- sqlite-vec: verify `IN` operator support on `vec0` metadata vs partition-key columns during implementation; confirm WAL-mode behavior on the network filesystems some users put `LLM_INDEX_DIR` on (same caveat already applies to SQLite as the main DB).
- faiss-cpu 1.14.2's missing generic build should be reported to facebookresearch/faiss; if Meta restores variant bundling, faiss still would not beat sqlite-vec here (no metadata, no real deletes).

# LanceDB Schema Migration Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Add a schema versioning and migration system to the LanceDB vector store so that structural column changes can be applied in-place without re-embedding documents, avoiding token costs for users on paid embedding APIs.
**Architecture:** A `schema_version.json` file is written alongside the LanceDB data directory and tracks the current applied version. A `Migration` dataclass registry in `vector_store.py` holds ordered, typed migration steps; each migration is classified as `requires_reembed=True/False`. At index update time, structural-only migrations are applied in-place via LanceDB's `add_columns`/`alter_columns`/`drop_columns` APIs; if any pending migration requires re-embedding, the existing model-mismatch rebuild path is reused.
**Tech Stack:** Python 3.11, lancedb 0.33, pyarrow, pytest, pytest-mock, factory-boy

## Task 1: Schema version file helpers
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_ai/vector_store.py`
- Test: `src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
Add a new class at the bottom of `test_vector_store.py`:
```python
class TestSchemaVersioning:
@pytest.fixture
def uri(self, tmp_path: Path) -> str:
return str(tmp_path / "idx")
def test_version_file_written_on_table_creation(self, uri: str) -> None:
from paperless_ai.vector_store import CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
store = PaperlessLanceVectorStore(uri=uri)
store.add([_node("1-0", "1", "text", 0.1)])
version_file = Path(uri) / "schema_version.json"
assert version_file.exists()
assert json.loads(version_file.read_text())["version"] == CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
def test_stored_schema_version_returns_current_when_file_missing(
self, uri: str
) -> None:
from paperless_ai.vector_store import CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
store = PaperlessLanceVectorStore(uri=uri)
store.add([_node("1-0", "1", "text", 0.1)])
(Path(uri) / "schema_version.json").unlink()
reopened = PaperlessLanceVectorStore(uri=uri)
assert reopened.stored_schema_version() == CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
def test_stored_schema_version_persists_after_reopen(self, uri: str) -> None:
from paperless_ai.vector_store import CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
PaperlessLanceVectorStore(uri=uri).add([_node("1-0", "1", "text", 0.1)])
reopened = PaperlessLanceVectorStore(uri=uri)
assert reopened.stored_schema_version() == CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
def test_drop_table_removes_version_file(self, uri: str) -> None:
store = PaperlessLanceVectorStore(uri=uri)
store.add([_node("1-0", "1", "text", 0.1)])
assert (Path(uri) / "schema_version.json").exists()
store.drop_table()
assert not (Path(uri) / "schema_version.json").exists()
def test_version_file_written_on_upsert_creation(self, uri: str) -> None:
from paperless_ai.vector_store import CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
store = PaperlessLanceVectorStore(uri=uri)
store.upsert_document("1", [_node("1-0", "1", "text", 0.1)])
version_file = Path(uri) / "schema_version.json"
assert json.loads(version_file.read_text())["version"] == CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
```
Add `import json` and `import pytest_mock` to the top of `test_vector_store.py`.
- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
```bash
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py::TestSchemaVersioning -v"
```
Expected: all 5 tests fail with `ImportError` or `AttributeError` — `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION` and `stored_schema_version` don't exist yet.
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the schema version helpers in `vector_store.py`**
After the existing imports and before the `DEFAULT_TABLE_NAME` constant, add:
```python
import json
from pathlib import Path
```
After `DEFAULT_TABLE_NAME = "documents"`, add:
```python
CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION: int = 1
```
After the `ANN_PQ_SUB_VECTORS` constant, add nothing yet — version methods go on the class.
Inside `PaperlessLanceVectorStore`, add these methods after `stored_model_name`:
```python
@property
def _schema_version_path(self) -> Path:
return Path(self._uri) / "schema_version.json"
def stored_schema_version(self) -> int:
"""Return the schema version recorded on disk, or CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION if missing.
Missing means either the table predates versioning or was just created and the
write hasn't happened yet — treat conservatively as already current.
"""
try:
return int(json.loads(self._schema_version_path.read_text())["version"])
except (FileNotFoundError, KeyError, ValueError):
return CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
def _write_schema_version(self, version: int) -> None:
self._schema_version_path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
self._schema_version_path.write_text(json.dumps({"version": version}))
```
Modify `_ensure_table` to write the version after creating the table. Replace the current method body:
```python
def _ensure_table(self, rows: list[dict[str, Any]], dim: int) -> bool:
if self._table is not None:
return False
self._table = self._conn.create_table(
self._table_name,
rows,
schema=self._schema(dim, self._embed_model_name),
)
self._write_schema_version(CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION)
return True
```
Modify `drop_table` to also remove the version file:
```python
def drop_table(self) -> None:
if self.table_exists():
self._conn.drop_table(self._table_name)
self._table = None
self._schema_version_path.unlink(missing_ok=True)
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
```bash
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py::TestSchemaVersioning -v"
```
Expected: all 5 tests pass.
- [ ] **Step 5: Verify no regressions**
```bash
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py -v"
```
Expected: all existing tests still pass.
- [ ] **Step 6: Lint**
```bash
ruff check src/paperless_ai/vector_store.py src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py
ruff format src/paperless_ai/vector_store.py src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py

Expected: no errors.

git commit -m "feat(ai): add schema version file tracking to LanceDB vector store"

Expected: all 7 tests fail — `Migration`, `MIGRATIONS`, `pending_migrations`, `requires_reembed_migration` don't exist yet.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add `Migration` dataclass and registry to `vector_store.py`**
Add near the top of the file, after the existing imports:
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass, field
from typing import Callable
```
After the `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION` constant, add:
```python
@dataclass(frozen=True)
class Migration:
version: int
description: str
requires_reembed: bool
apply: Callable[[Any], None] = field(compare=False, hash=False)
```
(`compare=False, hash=False` excludes `apply` from `__eq__` and `__hash__` — equality is driven by `version` alone, which is the natural identity key. This avoids lambda identity issues in tests and makes the API safe for callers that construct `Migration` instances inline.)
# Ordered list of schema migrations. Each entry upgrades the table to `version`.
# Structural migrations (requires_reembed=False) are applied in-place via LanceDB's
# add_columns/alter_columns/drop_columns APIs — no re-embedding needed.
# Migrations with requires_reembed=True cause a full rebuild on next index update,
# exactly like a model-name change does today.
#
# To add a migration:
# 1. Increment CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION.
# 2. Append a Migration entry here with the new version number.
# 3. For structural changes, call table.add_columns/alter_columns/drop_columns in apply().
# 4. For embedding-invalidating changes, set requires_reembed=True; apply() can be a no-op.
MIGRATIONS: list[Migration] = []
````
Inside `PaperlessLanceVectorStore`, add after `requires_reembed_migration` (which we'll add next):
```python
def pending_migrations(self) -> list[Migration]:

if self._table is None:

```bash

```
Expected: all 6 tests fail — `apply_structural_migrations` doesn't exist yet.
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement `apply_structural_migrations` in `vector_store.py`**
Add after `requires_reembed_migration` on the class:

Each applied migration's ``apply`` callable receives the live LanceDB table
object and should call ``add_columns``, ``alter_columns``, or ``drop_columns``
as needed. After all structural migrations run, the version file is updated
to the highest version applied and the in-memory table reference is refreshed.
Migrations with ``requires_reembed=True`` are skipped — the caller is
responsible for detecting them via ``requires_reembed_migration()`` and
triggering a full rebuild.

## Task 4: Wire migrations into `update_llm_index`
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_ai/indexing.py`
- Test: `src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing tests**
Add these two tests to `test_ai_indexing.py`, after the existing `test_update_llm_index_rebuilds_on_model_name_change` test:
```python

# Simulate a new v2 structural migration being introduced after the initial index was built.
m2 = Migration(version=2, description="add extra col", requires_reembed=False, apply=_add_extra)

```
Expected: both tests fail because `update_llm_index` doesn't call migration methods yet.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add migration check inside `update_llm_index` in `indexing.py`**
Inside the `with write_store(embed_model_name=model_name) as store:` block in `update_llm_index`, insert the migration check immediately before the `if rebuild or not store.table_exists():` line:
```python
if not rebuild and store.table_exists():
store.apply_structural_migrations()
if store.requires_reembed_migration():
logger.warning("Schema migration requires re-embedding; forcing LLM index rebuild.")
rebuild = True
```
The relevant section of `update_llm_index` should now look like:
```python
with write_store(embed_model_name=model_name) as store:
if not rebuild and store.table_exists():
store.apply_structural_migrations()
if store.requires_reembed_migration():
logger.warning("Schema migration requires re-embedding; forcing LLM index rebuild.")
rebuild = True
if rebuild or not store.table_exists():
(settings.LLM_INDEX_DIR / "meta.json").unlink(missing_ok=True)
logger.info("Rebuilding LLM index.")
store.drop_table()
...
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run new tests to verify they pass**
```bash
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_update_llm_index_applies_structural_migration_without_rebuild src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_update_llm_index_forces_rebuild_on_reembed_migration -v"

Expected: both tests pass.
- [ ] **Step 5: Full indexing regression check**
```bash
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py -v"
```
Expected: all existing tests still pass.
- [ ] **Step 6: Full AI module test run**
```bash
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/ -v"
```
Expected: all tests pass.
- [ ] **Step 7: Lint**
```bash
ruff check src/paperless_ai/indexing.py src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py
ruff format src/paperless_ai/indexing.py src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py
```
- [ ] **Step 8: Commit**
```bash
git add src/paperless_ai/indexing.py src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py
git commit -m "feat(ai): wire schema migrations into update_llm_index; structural changes avoid re-embed"
```

## How to add a migration (reference for future developers)
When a future schema change is needed:
1. Increment `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION` in `vector_store.py`.
2. Append a `Migration` to `MIGRATIONS` with the new version number.
3. If the change is **structural only** (add/rename/drop a column, no embedding content changed):
- Set `requires_reembed=False`
- In `apply`, call `table.add_columns({"col": "CAST(NULL AS string)"})`, `table.drop_columns(["col"])`, or `table.alter_columns({"path": "col", "rename": "new_name"})` as appropriate.
4. If the change affects **what text gets embedded** (new fields in `build_llm_index_text`, chunk size change baked into schema, etc.):
- Set `requires_reembed=True`
- `apply` can be a no-op (`lambda t: None`) — the framework will trigger a full rebuild.
5. Write tests for the migration in `test_vector_store.py` following the `TestApplyStructuralMigrations` patterns.
Example structural migration adding a `language` column:
```python
CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION: int = 2
MIGRATIONS: list[Migration] = [
Migration(
version=2,
description="Add language column for future locale-aware filtering",
requires_reembed=False,
apply=lambda table: table.add_columns({"language": "CAST(NULL AS string)"}),
),
]
```

# Node Metadata Enrichment Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Move `filename`, `storage_path`, and `archive_serial_number` from the LanceDB embedding text into `node.metadata`, and register a schema migration that triggers an automatic index rebuild on upgrade.
**Architecture:** Three small, independent changes to two source files, tested first. The migration is a no-op `apply` (the rebuild regenerates all nodes with correct metadata). All three tests go red first, then each implementation makes them green.
**Tech Stack:** pytest, pytest-django, pytest-mock, factory_boy, llama_index `MetadataMode`, `feature-lancedb-schema-migrate` branch (must be the base branch for this work).
**Branch base:** `feature-lancedb-schema-migrate`

### Task 1: Fail — embedding text no longer contains the three fields
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_ai/tests/test_embedding.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Update `mock_document` fixture to set an explicit `storage_path`**
The fixture currently doesn't set `storage_path`, so the existing code path (`doc.storage_path.name if doc.storage_path else ''`) would call `.name` on a `MagicMock`. Give it an explicit value so assertions are unambiguous.
Add these two lines to the `mock_document` fixture after `doc.archive_serial_number = "12345"`:
```python
doc.storage_path = MagicMock()
doc.storage_path.name = "Finance/Bills"
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update `test_build_llm_index_text` — flip and add assertions**
The existing test asserts these fields ARE in the result. Change them to assert they are NOT, and add the two missing ones:
```python
# was: assert "Filename: test_file.pdf" in result
assert "Filename: test_file.pdf" not in result
assert "Storage Path: Finance/Bills" not in result
assert "Archive Serial Number: 12345" not in result
```
The assertions for `Notes`, `Content`, and `Custom Field` lines are unchanged — leave them as-is.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the test to confirm it fails**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_embedding.py::test_build_llm_index_text -v"
```
Expected: `FAILED` — `AssertionError: assert 'Filename: test_file.pdf' not in '...'`
---
### Task 2: Pass — remove the three fields from `build_llm_index_text`
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_ai/embedding.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Remove the three lines and the TODO comment**
Current `build_llm_index_text` (lines 114–133). Replace the function body:
```python
def build_llm_index_text(doc: Document) -> str:
lines = [
f"Notes: {','.join([str(c.note) for c in Note.objects.filter(document=doc)])}",
]
for instance in doc.custom_fields.all():
lines.append(f"Custom Field - {instance.field.name}: {instance}")
lines.append("\nContent:\n")
lines.append(doc.content or "")
return _normalize_llm_index_text("\n".join(lines))
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to confirm it passes**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_embedding.py::test_build_llm_index_text -v"
```
Expected: `PASSED`
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the full embedding test module to catch regressions**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_embedding.py -v"
```
Expected: all green.
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add src/paperless_ai/embedding.py src/paperless_ai/tests/test_embedding.py
git commit -m "refactor(ai): remove filename/storage_path/asn from embedding text"
```
---
### Task 3: Fail — `build_document_node` exposes the three fields in metadata
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Extend `test_build_document_node_structured_fields_in_metadata`**
This test already checks for `title`, `tags`, etc. Add the three new keys. The `real_document` fixture creates a document with no storage path set, so `storage_path` will be `None` — the key must still be present.
Replace the existing test body:
```python
@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_build_document_node_structured_fields_in_metadata(
real_document: Document,
) -> None:
"""Structured fields must be in node.metadata so the LLM receives them via metadata prepend."""
nodes = indexing.build_document_node(real_document)
assert len(nodes) > 0
for node in nodes:
assert "title" in node.metadata
assert "tags" in node.metadata
assert "correspondent" in node.metadata
assert "document_type" in node.metadata
assert "created" in node.metadata
assert "added" in node.metadata
assert "modified" in node.metadata
assert "filename" in node.metadata
assert "storage_path" in node.metadata # None is fine; key must exist
assert "archive_serial_number" in node.metadata
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add a test that storage_path carries the name when set**
Add a new test function after `test_build_document_node_structured_fields_in_metadata`:
```python
@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_build_document_node_storage_path_name_in_metadata() -> None:
"""storage_path metadata value is the StoragePath name, not None, when set."""
from documents.tests.factories import DocumentFactory, StoragePathFactory
sp = StoragePathFactory(name="Finance/Bills")
doc = DocumentFactory(storage_path=sp)
nodes = indexing.build_document_node(doc)
assert len(nodes) > 0
for node in nodes:
assert node.metadata["storage_path"] == "Finance/Bills"
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Add a test that all three new fields are in `excluded_embed_metadata_keys`**
Add after the previous test:
```python
@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_build_document_node_new_fields_excluded_from_embedding(
real_document: Document,
) -> None:
"""filename, storage_path, and archive_serial_number must not appear in embedding text."""
from llama_index.core.schema import MetadataMode
nodes = indexing.build_document_node(real_document)
assert len(nodes) > 0
for node in nodes:
assert "filename" in node.excluded_embed_metadata_keys
assert "storage_path" in node.excluded_embed_metadata_keys
assert "archive_serial_number" in node.excluded_embed_metadata_keys
embed_text = node.get_content(metadata_mode=MetadataMode.EMBED)
assert "filename" not in embed_text
assert "storage_path" not in embed_text
assert "archive_serial_number" not in embed_text
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run the new tests to confirm they fail**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_build_document_node_structured_fields_in_metadata src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_build_document_node_storage_path_name_in_metadata src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_build_document_node_new_fields_excluded_from_embedding -v"
```
Expected: all `FAILED` — keys not yet in `node.metadata`.
---
### Task 4: Pass — add the three fields to `build_document_node`
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_ai/indexing.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Update the `metadata` dict in `build_document_node`**
Current metadata dict starts at line 106. Replace it:
```python
metadata = {
"document_id": str(document.id),
"title": document.title,
"filename": document.filename or "",
"storage_path": document.storage_path.name if document.storage_path else None,
"archive_serial_number": document.archive_serial_number,
"tags": [t.name for t in document.tags.all()],
"correspondent": document.correspondent.name
if document.correspondent
else None,
"document_type": document.document_type.name
if document.document_type
else None,
"created": document.created.isoformat() if document.created else None,
"added": document.added.isoformat() if document.added else None,
"modified": document.modified.isoformat(),
}
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Update `excluded_embed_metadata_keys`**
The `LlamaDocument(...)` call currently has:
```python
excluded_embed_metadata_keys=list(metadata.keys()),
```
This already excludes all keys, so no change needed here — the new keys are automatically included since they're in the dict. Verify `excluded_llm_metadata_keys` still only excludes `"document_id"`:
```python
excluded_llm_metadata_keys=["document_id"],
```
No change needed.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the failing tests to confirm they pass**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_build_document_node_structured_fields_in_metadata src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_build_document_node_storage_path_name_in_metadata src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_build_document_node_new_fields_excluded_from_embedding -v"
```
Expected: all `PASSED`.
- [ ] **Step 4: Run the full indexing test module**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py -v"
```
Expected: all green.
- [ ] **Step 5: Commit**
```bash
git add src/paperless_ai/indexing.py src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py
git commit -m "feat(ai): add filename/storage_path/asn to node metadata"
```
---
### Task 5: Fail — migration v2 is registered
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py`
These tests use the real (non-mocked) `MIGRATIONS` list, so they go red until the migration is registered in Task 6.
- [ ] **Step 1: Add a `TestMetadataEnrichmentMigration` class**
Add this class near the end of `test_vector_store.py`, before the final `TestApplyStructuralMigrations`:
```python
class TestMetadataEnrichmentMigration:
def test_current_schema_version_is_2(self) -> None:
from paperless_ai.vector_store import CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION
assert CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION == 2
def test_migration_v2_registered(self) -> None:
from paperless_ai.vector_store import MIGRATIONS
assert len(MIGRATIONS) == 1
assert MIGRATIONS[0].version == 2
assert MIGRATIONS[0].requires_reembed is True
def test_store_at_v1_requires_reembed(self, uri: str) -> None:
store = _store_at_version(uri, 1)
assert store.requires_reembed_migration() is True
def test_store_at_v2_no_pending_migrations(self, uri: str) -> None:
store = _store_at_version(uri, 2)
assert store.pending_migrations() == []
assert store.requires_reembed_migration() is False
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the tests to confirm they fail**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py::TestMetadataEnrichmentMigration -v"
```
Expected: all `FAILED` — `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION` is still 1 and `MIGRATIONS` is still empty.
---
### Task 6: Pass — register migration v2 in `vector_store.py`
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_ai/vector_store.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the migration and bump the version constant**
On the `feature-lancedb-schema-migrate` branch, `vector_store.py` has:
```python
CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION: Final[int] = 1
...
MIGRATIONS: list[Migration] = []
```
Change both:
```python
CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION: Final[int] = 2
MIGRATIONS: list[Migration] = [
Migration(
version=2,
description="move filename/storage_path/asn from embedding text to metadata; rebuild required",
requires_reembed=True,
apply=lambda table: None,
),
]
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the migration tests to confirm they pass**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py::TestMetadataEnrichmentMigration -v"
```
Expected: all `PASSED`.
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the full vector store test module**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py -v"
```
Expected: all green. In particular, `TestSchemaVersioning::test_stored_schema_version_persists_after_reopen` and the `TestMigrationRegistry` tests should still pass — they use `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION` as the baseline.
---
### Task 7: Integration — `update_llm_index` rebuilds when schema version is stale
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing integration test**
Add this test near `test_update_llm_index_rebuilds_on_model_name_change`:
```python
@pytest.mark.django_db
def test_update_llm_index_rebuilds_on_pending_reembed_migration(
temp_llm_index_dir: Path,
real_document: Document,
mock_embed_model: FakeEmbedding,
) -> None:
"""A stale schema version (v1) must trigger a full rebuild on the next index run."""
from paperless_ai.vector_store import PaperlessLanceVectorStore
# Build an initial index and then rewind the schema version to 1 to simulate
# an index created before migration v2 was registered.
indexing.update_llm_index(rebuild=True)
store = indexing.get_vector_store()
store._write_schema_version(1)
# An incremental run (rebuild=False) must detect the stale version and rebuild.
with patch("documents.models.Document.objects.all") as mock_all:
mock_queryset = MagicMock()
mock_queryset.exists.return_value = True
mock_queryset.__iter__.return_value = iter([real_document])
mock_all.return_value = mock_queryset
indexing.update_llm_index(rebuild=False)
# After rebuild the schema version must be current.
reopened = PaperlessLanceVectorStore(uri=str(temp_llm_index_dir))
assert reopened.stored_schema_version() == 2
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to confirm it fails**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_update_llm_index_rebuilds_on_pending_reembed_migration -v"
```
Expected: `FAILED` — schema version stays at 1 because migration v2 isn't registered yet.
_(If it passes already because `update_llm_index` detects a different condition, verify the assertion is actually exercising the migration path and not the model-name path.)_
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the test again now that migration v2 is registered (Task 6)**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py::test_update_llm_index_rebuilds_on_pending_reembed_migration -v"
```
Expected: `PASSED`.
- [ ] **Step 4: Run the full indexing test module**
```
bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py -v"
```
Expected: all green.
- [ ] **Step 5: Final commit**
```bash
git add src/paperless_ai/vector_store.py src/paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py src/paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py
git commit -m "feat(ai): register schema migration v2; triggers rebuild for metadata enrichment"
```

## Self-review checklist
**Spec coverage:**
- ✅ `build_llm_index_text` — three lines removed (Tasks 1–2)
- ✅ `build_document_node` — three fields added to metadata + excluded_embed_metadata_keys (Tasks 3–4)
- ✅ Migration v2 registered with `requires_reembed=True` and no-op apply (Tasks 5–6)
- ✅ `update_llm_index` triggers rebuild on stale schema (Task 7)
- ✅ Tests: `test_embedding.py`, `test_ai_indexing.py`, `test_vector_store.py`

# Unicode NFC Normalization for Filesystem Paths Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Ensure all filesystem paths stored in the database and written to disk use NFC Unicode normalization, preventing "file not found" failures caused by byte-level mismatches between visually identical filenames (e.g., NFD `ü` = `u + combining diaeresis` vs NFC `ü` = single codepoint U+00FC).
**Architecture:** The fix has two layers. The primary fix normalizes the output of `clean_filepath()` in `FilePathTemplate.render()` — this is the single choke point through which all template-rendered filenames pass. Defense-in-depth changes normalize input strings before `pathvalidate.sanitize_filename()` in the context builder functions. A separate fix normalizes mail attachment filenames at the entry point. Existing documents with NFD paths will be transparently migrated to NFC on their next save (the file move logic already handles the case where old and new paths differ).
**Tech Stack:** Python `unicodedata.normalize('NFC', ...)`, `pathvalidate`, Django, Jinja2, pytest
---
## Background: The Bug
`pathvalidate.sanitize_filename()` removes illegal filesystem characters but does **not** normalize Unicode. NFC `ü` (UTF-8: `c3 bc`) and NFD `ü` (UTF-8: `75 cc 88`) are visually identical but produce different byte sequences. On Linux filesystems with no normalization (default ZFS, ext4), these are treated as distinct filenames. If an LLM or OCR engine produces NFD text for a document title, the generated filesystem path contains NFD bytes. If the same title is later regenerated in NFC form (LLM output is non-deterministic), the path lookup fails: `old_source_path.is_file()` returns `False` even though a file with the same visual name exists on disk.
## File Structure
| File | Change |
| ------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `src/documents/templating/filepath.py` | Add NFC normalization in `clean_filepath()` (primary fix) + input normalization in `get_basic_metadata_context()`, `get_tags_context()`, `get_custom_fields_context()` (defense-in-depth) |
| `src/paperless_mail/mail.py` | Normalize attachment filenames before `pathvalidate.sanitize_filename()` |
| `src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py` | Tests for NFC normalization in `generate_filename()` |
| `src/paperless_mail/tests/test_mail.py` | Tests for NFC normalization in mail attachment handling |
---
## Task 1: Normalize `clean_filepath()` output (primary fix)
This is the single choke point. ALL template-rendered paths pass through `clean_filepath()` before being stored in `document.filename`. Fixing this alone prevents the bug for every path generated via the filename format system — including `{{ title }}` (sanitized context), `{{ document.title }}` (raw context), `{{ correspondent }}`, and every other template variable.
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/documents/templating/filepath.py:36-48`
- Test: `src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests**
Add these tests to `src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py`, inside `class TestFileHandling`:
```python
import unicodedata
@override_settings(FILENAME_FORMAT="{{ title }}")
def test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_nfd_title(self) -> None:
"""NFD title (u + combining diaeresis) must produce NFC path bytes."""
nfd_title = unicodedata.normalize("NFD", "Gemüse")
nfc_title = unicodedata.normalize("NFC", "Gemüse")
assert nfd_title != nfc_title # confirm inputs differ at byte level
doc = Document.objects.create(title=nfd_title, mime_type="application/pdf")
result = generate_filename(doc)
assert str(result) == f"{nfc_title}.pdf"
assert str(result).encode() == f"{nfc_title}.pdf".encode()
@override_settings(FILENAME_FORMAT="{{ correspondent }}/{{ title }}")
def test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_nfd_correspondent(self) -> None:
"""NFD correspondent name must produce NFC path component."""
nfd_name = unicodedata.normalize("NFD", "Müller")
nfc_name = unicodedata.normalize("NFC", "Müller")
correspondent = Correspondent.objects.create(name=nfd_name)
doc = Document.objects.create(
title="invoice",
correspondent=correspondent,
mime_type="application/pdf",
)
result = generate_filename(doc)
assert str(result) == f"{nfc_name}/invoice.pdf"
assert str(result).encode() == f"{nfc_name}/invoice.pdf".encode()
@override_settings(FILENAME_FORMAT="{{ document.title }}")
def test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_raw_document_title_in_template(self) -> None:
"""NFD title accessed via document.title (unsanitized context) must also be NFC."""
nfd_title = unicodedata.normalize("NFD", "Café")
nfc_title = unicodedata.normalize("NFC", "Café")
doc = Document.objects.create(title=nfd_title, mime_type="application/pdf")
result = generate_filename(doc)
assert str(result) == f"{nfc_title}.pdf"
assert str(result).encode() == f"{nfc_title}.pdf".encode()
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run tests to verify they fail**
```bash
uv run pytest --override-ini="addopts=" src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py::TestFileHandling::test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_nfd_title src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py::TestFileHandling::test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_nfd_correspondent src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py::TestFileHandling::test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_raw_document_title_in_template -v
```
Expected: all three FAIL (NFD title produces NFD path, assertion fails).
- [ ] **Step 3: Add NFC normalization to `clean_filepath()`**
In `src/documents/templating/filepath.py`, add `import unicodedata` at the top of the file and modify `clean_filepath()`:
```python
import unicodedata # add to top-of-file imports
class FilePathTemplate(Template):
def render(self, *args, **kwargs) -> str:
def clean_filepath(value: str) -> str:
"""
Clean up a filepath by:
1. Normalizing to NFC Unicode form to prevent byte-level mismatches
between visually identical filenames on case-sensitive filesystems
2. Removing newlines and carriage returns
3. Removing extra spaces before and after forward slashes
4. Preserving spaces in other parts of the path
"""
value = unicodedata.normalize("NFC", value)
value = value.replace("\n", "").replace("\r", "")
value = re.sub(r"\s*/\s*", "/", value)
# We remove trailing and leading separators, as these are always relative paths, not absolute, even if the user
# tries
return value.strip().strip(os.sep)
original_render = super().render(*args, **kwargs)
return clean_filepath(original_render)
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**
```bash
uv run pytest --override-ini="addopts=" src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py::TestFileHandling::test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_nfd_title src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py::TestFileHandling::test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_nfd_correspondent src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py::TestFileHandling::test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_raw_document_title_in_template -v
```
Expected: all three PASS.
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the full file-handling test suite to check for regressions**
```bash
uv run pytest --override-ini="addopts=" src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py -v
```
Expected: all existing tests continue to pass (ASCII titles are unaffected by NFC normalization).
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add src/documents/templating/filepath.py src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py
git commit -m "Fix: normalize filesystem paths to NFC Unicode to prevent byte-level mismatches"
```

## Task 2: Defense-in-depth normalization in context builders
`clean_filepath()` (Task 1) fixes the rendered path. These changes normalize the input strings that go into `pathvalidate.sanitize_filename()` within the context builders — belt-and-suspenders so the sanitized shorthand variables (`{{ title }}`, `{{ correspondent }}`, `{{ tag_list }}`, `{{ custom_fields }}`) are also NFC before sanitization. This matters because the sanitized strings could theoretically be compared directly against DB-stored values in other contexts.
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/documents/templating/filepath.py:171-319`
- Test: `src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write failing tests**
Add these tests to `TestFileHandling` in `src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py`:
```python
@override_settings(FILENAME_FORMAT="{{ tag_list }}/{{ title }}")
def test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_nfd_tag_list(self) -> None:
"""NFD tag names must produce NFC path component in tag_list."""
nfd_name = unicodedata.normalize("NFD", "Büro")
nfc_name = unicodedata.normalize("NFC", "Büro")
doc = Document.objects.create(title="doc", mime_type="application/pdf")
doc.tags.create(name=nfd_name)
result = generate_filename(doc)
assert str(result) == f"{nfc_name}/doc.pdf"
assert str(result).encode() == f"{nfc_name}/doc.pdf".encode()
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**
```bash
uv run pytest --override-ini="addopts=" src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py::TestFileHandling::test_generate_filename_nfc_normalizes_nfd_tag_list -v
```
Expected: FAIL. (The tag_list is already caught by `clean_filepath()` from Task 1, but we want a test that directly validates input normalization through the sanitize call.)
Note: this test may already pass after Task 1 due to `clean_filepath()`. If so, keep the test as a regression guard and move straight to the implementation.
- [ ] **Step 3: Normalize inputs in `get_basic_metadata_context()`**
In `src/documents/templating/filepath.py`, update `get_basic_metadata_context()`. The `unicodedata` import was added in Task 1.
```python
def get_basic_metadata_context(
document: Document,
*,
no_value_default: str = NO_VALUE_PLACEHOLDER,
) -> dict[str, str]:
"""
Given a Document, constructs some basic information about it. If certain values are not set,
they will be replaced with the no_value_default.
Regardless of set or not, the values will be sanitized
"""
return {
"title": pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
unicodedata.normalize("NFC", document.title),
replacement_text="-",
),
"correspondent": pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
unicodedata.normalize("NFC", document.correspondent.name),
replacement_text="-",
)
if document.correspondent
else no_value_default,
"document_type": pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
unicodedata.normalize("NFC", document.document_type.name),
replacement_text="-",
)
if document.document_type
else no_value_default,
"asn": str(document.archive_serial_number)
if document.archive_serial_number
else no_value_default,
"owner_username": document.owner.username
if document.owner
else no_value_default,
"original_name": PurePath(document.original_filename).with_suffix("").name
if document.original_filename
else no_value_default,
"doc_pk": f"{document.pk:07}",
}
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Normalize inputs in `get_tags_context()`**
Update `get_tags_context()` in the same file:
```python
def get_tags_context(tags: Iterable[Tag]) -> dict[str, str | list[str]]:
"""
Given an Iterable of tags, constructs some context from them for usage
"""
return {
"tag_list": pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
",".join(
sorted(unicodedata.normalize("NFC", tag.name) for tag in tags),
),
replacement_text="-",
),
# Assumed to be ordered, but a template could loop through to find what they want
"tag_name_list": [unicodedata.normalize("NFC", x.name) for x in tags],
}
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Normalize string-type inputs in `get_custom_fields_context()`**
Update `get_custom_fields_context()` in the same file. Only string-type fields (MONETARY, STRING, URL, LONG_TEXT, SELECT) go through `sanitize_filename()`; the others (dates, numbers, booleans) cannot contain non-ASCII unicode. Also normalize the field name itself.
```python
def get_custom_fields_context(
custom_fields: Iterable[CustomFieldInstance],
) -> dict[str, dict[str, dict[str, str]]]:
"""
Given an Iterable of CustomFieldInstance, builds a dictionary mapping the field name
to its type and value
"""
field_data = {"custom_fields": {}}
for field_instance in custom_fields:
type_ = pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
field_instance.field.data_type,
replacement_text="-",
)
if field_instance.value is None:
value = None
# String types need to be sanitized
elif field_instance.field.data_type in {
CustomField.FieldDataType.MONETARY,
CustomField.FieldDataType.STRING,
CustomField.FieldDataType.URL,
CustomField.FieldDataType.LONG_TEXT,
}:
value = pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
unicodedata.normalize("NFC", field_instance.value),
replacement_text="-",
)
elif (
field_instance.field.data_type == CustomField.FieldDataType.SELECT
and field_instance.field.extra_data["select_options"] is not None
):
options = field_instance.field.extra_data["select_options"]
value = pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
unicodedata.normalize(
"NFC",
next(
option["label"]
for option in options
if option["id"] == field_instance.value
),
),
replacement_text="-",
)
else:
value = field_instance.value
field_data["custom_fields"][
pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
unicodedata.normalize("NFC", field_instance.field.name),
replacement_text="-",
)
] = {
"type": type_,
"value": value,
}
return field_data
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Run the new test and full test suite**
```bash
uv run pytest --override-ini="addopts=" src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py -v
```
Expected: all tests pass, including the new tag test.
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add src/documents/templating/filepath.py src/documents/tests/test_file_handling.py
git commit -m "Fix: normalize context builder inputs to NFC before sanitize_filename (defense-in-depth)"
```

## Task 3: Normalize mail attachment filenames
Email attachment filenames come from MIME headers and can be in any Unicode normalization depending on the sending client. These flow into `document.original_filename` and then into `{{ original_name }}` template context. They also become the temp file name created on disk.
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/paperless_mail/mail.py`
- Test: `src/paperless_mail/tests/test_mail.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Find the exact lines in mail.py**
```bash
grep -n "sanitize_filename" src/paperless_mail/mail.py
```
Expected output (line numbers may vary):
```
NNN: attachment_name = pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(att.filename)
NNN: filename=pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(att.filename),
NNN: filename=pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(f"{message.subject}.eml"),
```
Note the line numbers for the next step.
- [ ] **Step 2: Write a failing test**
Find an existing test in `src/paperless_mail/tests/test_mail.py` that exercises attachment filename handling (search for `sanitize_filename` or `att.filename` in that file to find a good base test to copy). Add a new test that uses an NFD attachment filename.
The following test goes into the appropriate `TestCase` class in `src/paperless_mail/tests/test_mail.py`. Look at the file first to confirm the right class and mock patterns — the test below follows the existing pattern for mocking `MailMessage` and `Attachment` objects:
```python
def test_attachment_filename_nfd_normalized_to_nfc(self) -> None:
"""Mail attachment filenames with NFD encoding must be normalized to NFC."""
import unicodedata
nfd_name = unicodedata.normalize("NFD", "Rechnung März.pdf")
nfc_name = unicodedata.normalize("NFC", "Rechnung März.pdf")
assert nfd_name != nfc_name # confirm inputs differ at byte level
# Use whatever mock/factory pattern exists in this test file for creating
# a fake attachment with a specific filename, then run the mail handler,
# and assert that document.original_filename == nfc_name (not nfd_name).
# Adapt the mock setup to match the test file's existing patterns exactly.
```
To find the right mock pattern: `grep -n "att.filename\|Attachment\|MailMessage\|MagicMock" src/paperless_mail/tests/test_mail.py | head -20`
- [ ] **Step 3: Run the test to verify it fails**
```bash
uv run pytest --override-ini="addopts=" src/paperless_mail/tests/test_mail.py -k "test_attachment_filename_nfd" -v
```
Expected: FAIL.
- [ ] **Step 4: Add `import unicodedata` to mail.py**
At the top of `src/paperless_mail/mail.py`, add:
```python
import unicodedata
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Normalize attachment filenames in mail.py**
At each of the three `pathvalidate.sanitize_filename` call sites found in Step 1, wrap the input string with `unicodedata.normalize("NFC", ...)`:
For the attachment temp file creation:
```python
attachment_name = pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
unicodedata.normalize("NFC", att.filename)
)
```
For the metadata override filename:
```python
filename=pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
unicodedata.normalize("NFC", att.filename)
),
```
For the EML subject filename:
```python
filename=pathvalidate.sanitize_filename(
unicodedata.normalize("NFC", f"{message.subject}.eml")
),
```
- [ ] **Step 6: Run the mail test suite**
```bash
uv run pytest --override-ini="addopts=" src/paperless_mail/tests/test_mail.py -v
```
Expected: all tests pass, including the new NFD normalization test.
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add src/paperless_mail/mail.py src/paperless_mail/tests/test_mail.py
git commit -m "Fix: normalize mail attachment filenames to NFC Unicode"
```

## Self-Review Checklist
### Spec coverage
| Requirement | Covered by |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `clean_filepath()` normalizes all template-rendered paths | Task 1 Step 3 |
| `{{ title }}` (sanitized context) produces NFC output | Task 1 test + Task 2 Step 3 |
| `{{ document.title }}` (raw context) produces NFC output | Task 1 test |
| `{{ correspondent }}` produces NFC output | Task 1 test + Task 2 Step 3 |
| `{{ tag_list }}` and `tag_name_list` produce NFC output | Task 2 Steps 1+4 |
| Custom field string values produce NFC output | Task 2 Step 5 |
| Mail attachment filenames normalized at entry point | Task 3 |
| Existing NFD files auto-migrate to NFC on next save | Handled by existing move logic; no code change needed |
### Notes for implementer
- The `FILENAME_FORMAT` setting accepts old-style `{title}` format strings, which `convert_format_str_to_template_format()` converts to Jinja2 `{{ title }}` before rendering. Tests using `@override_settings(FILENAME_FORMAT="{{ title }}")` use Jinja2 syntax directly.
- Run tests with `--override-ini="addopts="` to disable coverage and parallelism for faster iteration.
- The `unicodedata` module is part of the Python standard library — no new dependency.
- NFC is the right normalization form for filenames: it is the default on macOS (HFS+/APFS) and the form most databases and text processing tools produce. NFD is what macOS HFS+ _internally_ normalizes to when writing (but presents as NFC), and what some OCR/LLM outputs occasionally produce.

# Export Zip Compression Control Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Add `--zip-compression {stored,deflated,bzip2,lzma,zstd}` and `--zip-compression-level N` flags to `document_exporter`, threaded into `ZipExportSink`, with import-side safety for codecs the running Python can't read.
**Architecture:** A new pure-data module `documents/export/compression.py` owns the method↔constant map, per-method level bounds, the runtime availability probe, and a compress-type readability check. `ZipExportSink` gains `compression`/`compresslevel` constructor params. The command validates flags up front (fail-fast `CommandError`) and constructs the sink; the importer pre-checks entry compress types before extracting.
**Tech Stack:** Python ≥3.11 (zstd only on 3.14+), `zipfile`, `compression.zstd` (PEP 784), pytest + pytest-mock + factory-boy. Backend tests run on the Linux VM (Python 3.11 — zstd positive tests are `skipif`-guarded); `ruff` runs locally.
**Spec:** `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-16-export-zip-compression-design.md`
**PREREQUISITE:** The base refactor `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-16-export-sink-architecture.md` MUST be merged first. This plan assumes `src/documents/export/sinks.py` exists with `ZipExportSink(target, zip_name, *, delete=False)` opening its `ZipFile` in `_open()`.
---
## Verified facts (CPython 3.14.3, via `uv run --python 3.14 --no-project`)
- Constants: `ZIP_STORED=0`, `ZIP_DEFLATED=8`, `ZIP_BZIP2=12`, `ZIP_LZMA=14`, `ZIP_ZSTANDARD=93` (zstd added 3.14; absent on < 3.14).
- `ZipFile(file, "w", compression=…, compresslevel=…)` applies both as the default for every `write`/`writestr` — no per-entry args needed (verified).
- Level bounds: `deflated` 0–9, `bzip2` 1–9, `lzma`/`stored` ignore level, `zstd` -131072…22 (`compression.zstd.CompressionParameter.compression_level.bounds() == (-131072, 22)`).
- An invalid level fails at the **first write** (`ValueError: Invalid initialization option` / `compresslevel must be between 1 and 9`), plus GC-time `AttributeError` noise on close — hence up-front validation.
- zstd is backed by `compression.zstd`; `zipfile` raises `RuntimeError` if it's unavailable.
## Conventions for every task
- **Run backend tests on the VM:** `bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "<targets>"` (never locally).
- **Lint locally:** `ruff check <paths> && ruff format <paths>` (global ruff, not `uv run`).
- **Tests are pytest-style:** classes, `@pytest.mark.django_db` on the class only where DB is needed (the `compression.py` and sink tests need no DB), factory-boy, `mocker`, `parametrize`, full type annotations.
- The VM runs Python 3.11, so **zstd positive tests must be `@pytest.mark.skipif(...)`-guarded**; they will simply not run there. zstd _rejection_ tests (the < 3.14 path) DO run on the VM.
## File structure
- **Create** `src/documents/export/compression.py` — method map, CLI choices, level bounds, `compression_available()`, `level_error()`, `compress_type_readable()`, `unreadable_method_names()`. Pure, no Django.
- **Create** `src/documents/tests/export/test_compression.py` — unit tests for the above.
- **Modify** `src/documents/export/sinks.py` — `ZipExportSink.__init__` gains `compression`/`compresslevel`; `_open()` passes them to `ZipFile`.
- **Modify** `src/documents/tests/export/test_sinks.py` — assert the chosen `compress_type` is applied.
- **Modify** `src/documents/management/commands/document_exporter.py` — add the two CLI flags, up-front validation, and pass resolved values to `ZipExportSink`.
- **Modify** `src/documents/tests/test_management_exporter.py` — flag validation + default-unchanged tests.
- **Modify** `src/documents/management/commands/document_importer.py` — pre-extract compress-type check.
- **Modify** `src/documents/tests/test_management_importer.py` — unsupported-codec → `CommandError`.
- **Modify** `docs/administration.md` — document both flags + zstd portability caveat.

## Task 2: `ZipExportSink` accepts compression method + level
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/documents/export/sinks.py`
- Test: `src/documents/tests/export/test_sinks.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
Append to `src/documents/tests/export/test_sinks.py` (the top-of-file block already imports `zipfile`, `Path`, `pytest`, `ZipExportSink`, `StreamingManifestWriter` from the base-refactor plan):
```python
class TestZipExportSinkCompression:
@pytest.fixture()
def source_file(self, tmp_path: Path) -> Path:
src: Path = tmp_path / "src" / "doc.pdf"
src.parent.mkdir(parents=True)
src.write_bytes(b"PDF-CONTENT" * 100)
return src
@pytest.mark.parametrize(
("method", "constant"),
[
("stored", zipfile.ZIP_STORED),
("deflated", zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED),
("bzip2", zipfile.ZIP_BZIP2),
("lzma", zipfile.ZIP_LZMA),
],
)
def test_compression_method_is_applied_to_file_entries(
self,
tmp_path: Path,
source_file: Path,
method: str,
constant: int,
) -> None:
target: Path = tmp_path / "out"
target.mkdir()
with ZipExportSink(
target,
"export",
delete=False,
compression=constant,
) as sink:
sink.add_file(source_file, "doc.pdf")
with zipfile.ZipFile(target / "export.zip") as zf:
info = zf.getinfo("doc.pdf")
assert info.compress_type == constant
def test_compressing_method_beats_stored(
self,
tmp_path: Path,
source_file: Path,
) -> None:
# Robust size invariant: a compressing method must be <= stored on
# compressible content (avoids flaky level-9-vs-level-1 comparisons).
sizes: dict[str, int] = {}
for name, constant in (("stored", zipfile.ZIP_STORED), ("deflated", zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED)):
target: Path = tmp_path / name
target.mkdir()
with ZipExportSink(target, "export", delete=False, compression=constant) as sink:
sink.add_file(source_file, "doc.pdf")
sizes[name] = (target / "export.zip").stat().st_size
assert sizes["deflated"] <= sizes["stored"]
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails**
Run: `bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/documents/tests/export/test_sinks.py::TestZipExportSinkCompression -v"`
Expected: FAIL with `TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'compression'`.
- [ ] **Step 3: Add the params to `ZipExportSink`**
In `src/documents/export/sinks.py`, change `ZipExportSink.__init__` to accept the new keyword-only params and store them, and pass them in `_open()`:
```python
def __init__(
self,
target: Path,
zip_name: str,
*,
delete: bool = False,
compression: int = zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED,
compresslevel: int | None = None,
) -> None:
self._target = target.resolve()
self._zip_path = (self._target / zip_name).with_suffix(".zip")
self._tmp_path = self._zip_path.with_name(self._zip_path.name + ".tmp")
self._delete = delete
self._compression = compression
self._compresslevel = compresslevel
self._zip: zipfile.ZipFile | None = None
self._dirs: set[str] = set()
self._pending_manifest: tuple[Path, str] | None = None
self._stream_open = False
```
And in `_open()`:
```python
def _open(self) -> None:
settings.SCRATCH_DIR.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
self._zip = zipfile.ZipFile(
self._tmp_path,
"w",
compression=self._compression,
compresslevel=self._compresslevel,
allowZip64=True,
)
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Run to verify it passes**
Run: `bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/documents/tests/export/test_sinks.py -v"`
Expected: PASS (all sink tests, including the four method params and the size invariant). `bzip2`/`lzma` are present on the VM's CPython, so those params pass.
- [ ] **Step 5: Lint**
Run: `ruff check src/documents/export/sinks.py && ruff format src/documents/export/sinks.py`
Expected: no errors.
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add src/documents/export/sinks.py src/documents/tests/export/test_sinks.py
git commit -m "Feature: ZipExportSink accepts compression method and level"
```
---
## Task 3: Wire CLI flags + validation into `document_exporter`
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/documents/management/commands/document_exporter.py`
- Test: `src/documents/tests/test_management_exporter.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the argparse flags**
In `document_exporter.py`, add the import near the other `documents.export` import:
```python
from documents.export.compression import COMPRESSION_CHOICES
from documents.export.compression import COMPRESSION_METHODS
from documents.export.compression import compression_available
from documents.export.compression import level_error
from documents.export.compression import ZSTD
```
In `add_arguments`, after the `--zip-name` argument, add:
```python
parser.add_argument(
"--zip-compression",
choices=COMPRESSION_CHOICES,
default=None,
help=(
"Compression method for the export zip (requires --zip). "
"Default: deflated. 'zstd' requires Python 3.14+ on both the "
"exporting and importing machine."
),
)
parser.add_argument(
"--zip-compression-level",
type=int,
default=None,
help=(
"Compression level for the export zip (requires --zip). "
"deflated: 0-9, bzip2: 1-9, zstd: -131072..22; ignored for "
"stored/lzma."
),
)
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Read + validate the flags in `handle()`**
In `handle()`, after the existing `--compare-*` + `--zip` guard, add the compression flag handling. Insert before the sink construction:
```python
zip_compression: str | None = options["zip_compression"]
zip_compression_level: int | None = options["zip_compression_level"]
if not self.zip_export and (
zip_compression is not None or zip_compression_level is not None
):
raise CommandError(
"--zip-compression and --zip-compression-level require --zip",
)
compression_method = zip_compression or "deflated"
if self.zip_export:
if not compression_available(compression_method):
if compression_method == "zstd" and ZSTD is None:
raise CommandError(
"zstd compression requires Python 3.14 or newer",
)
raise CommandError(
f"Compression method '{compression_method}' is not "
f"available on this Python runtime",
)
level_msg = level_error(compression_method, zip_compression_level)
if level_msg is not None:
raise CommandError(level_msg)
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Pass the resolved values into `ZipExportSink`**
Change the `ZipExportSink(...)` construction in `handle()` to:
```python
if self.zip_export:
sink = ZipExportSink(
self.target,
options["zip_name"],
delete=self.delete,
compression=COMPRESSION_METHODS[compression_method],
compresslevel=zip_compression_level,
)
else:
sink = DirectoryExportSink(
self.target,
compare_checksums=self.compare_checksums,
compare_json=self.compare_json,
delete=self.delete,
)
```
- [ ] **Step 4: Write the command-level tests**
Add to the `TestExportImport` class in `src/documents/tests/test_management_exporter.py` (imports `call_command`, `CommandError`, `ZipFile`, `timezone` already present):
```python
def test_compression_flags_require_zip(self) -> None:
for args in (
["--zip-compression", "lzma"],
["--zip-compression-level", "5"],
):
with self.assertRaises(CommandError):
call_command(
"document_exporter",
self.target,
*args,
skip_checks=True,
)
def test_zip_compression_level_out_of_range_raises(self) -> None:
with self.assertRaises(CommandError):
call_command(
"document_exporter",
self.target,
"--zip",
"--zip-compression",
"deflated",
"--zip-compression-level",
"99",
skip_checks=True,
)
def test_zip_compression_level_rejected_for_stored(self) -> None:
with self.assertRaises(CommandError):
call_command(
"document_exporter",
self.target,
"--zip",
"--zip-compression",
"stored",
"--zip-compression-level",
"5",
skip_checks=True,
)
def test_zip_lzma_compression_round_trips(self) -> None:
call_command(
"document_exporter",
self.target,
"--zip",
"--zip-compression",
"lzma",
skip_checks=True,
)
expected = str(
self.target / f"export-{timezone.localdate().isoformat()}.zip",
)
self.assertIsFile(expected)
with ZipFile(expected) as zip_file:
info = zip_file.getinfo("manifest.json")
# manifest.json carries the chosen method; deflated is the default
self.assertEqual(info.compress_type, 14) # ZIP_LZMA
def test_default_zip_uses_deflate(self) -> None:
call_command(
"document_exporter",
self.target,
"--zip",
skip_checks=True,
)
expected = str(
self.target / f"export-{timezone.localdate().isoformat()}.zip",
)
with ZipFile(expected) as zip_file:
info = zip_file.getinfo("manifest.json")
self.assertEqual(info.compress_type, 8) # ZIP_DEFLATED
```
- [ ] **Step 5: Run the tests**
Run: `bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/documents/tests/test_management_exporter.py -v"`
Expected: PASS — the new tests plus all existing exporter tests stay green.
- [ ] **Step 6: Lint**
Run: `ruff check src/documents/management/commands/document_exporter.py src/documents/tests/test_management_exporter.py && ruff format src/documents/management/commands/document_exporter.py src/documents/tests/test_management_exporter.py`
Expected: no errors.
- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
```bash
git add src/documents/management/commands/document_exporter.py src/documents/tests/test_management_exporter.py
git commit -m "Feature: add --zip-compression and --zip-compression-level flags"
```

## Task 4: Importer pre-check for unreadable codecs
**Files:**
- Modify: `src/documents/management/commands/document_importer.py`
- Test: `src/documents/tests/test_management_importer.py`
- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
The importer test file `src/documents/tests/test_management_importer.py` is
`TestCase`-style (`class TestCommandImport(... TestCase)`, `self.assertRaises`,
`DirectoriesMixin` gives `self.dirs.scratch_dir`). Match that style. Add this
method to `TestCommandImport`. It builds a valid zip and patches the readability
probe so the check fires deterministically on any runtime:
```python
def test_import_rejects_unreadable_compression(self) -> None:
"""
GIVEN:
- A zip archive with an entry whose compression this Python can't read
WHEN:
- Import is attempted
THEN:
- A CommandError naming the issue is raised, before extraction
"""
import zipfile
from unittest import mock
archive = Path(self.dirs.scratch_dir) / "export.zip"
with zipfile.ZipFile(archive, "w") as zf:
zf.writestr("manifest.json", "[]")
with mock.patch(
"documents.management.commands.document_importer.compress_type_readable",
return_value=False,
):
with self.assertRaises(CommandError) as e:
call_command(
"document_importer",
str(archive),
"--no-progress-bar",
skip_checks=True,
)
self.assertIn("compression", str(e.exception))
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Run to verify it fails**
Run: `bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/documents/tests/test_management_importer.py -k unreadable_compression -v"`
Expected: FAIL — no pre-check exists yet, so the import proceeds (or fails with a different error).
- [ ] **Step 3: Implement the pre-check**
In `document_importer.py`, add the import:
```python
from documents.export.compression import compress_type_readable
from documents.export.compression import unreadable_method_names
```
Find the zip-handling block (around `document_importer.py:453`):
```python
with ZipFile(self.source) as zf:
zf.extractall(tmp_dir)
```
Replace it with a pre-check before extraction:
```python
with ZipFile(self.source) as zf:
unsupported = {
info.compress_type
for info in zf.infolist()
if not compress_type_readable(info.compress_type)
}
if unsupported:
names = ", ".join(sorted(unreadable_method_names(unsupported)))
raise CommandError(
f"This archive uses compression this Python cannot "
f"read ({names}). zstd archives require Python 3.14+.",
)
zf.extractall(tmp_dir)
```
Confirm `CommandError` is imported in `document_importer.py` (it is used elsewhere; if not, add `from django.core.management.base import CommandError`).
- [ ] **Step 4: Run to verify it passes**
Run: `bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/documents/tests/test_management_importer.py -v"`
Expected: PASS — the new test plus all existing importer tests (normal deflated/stored archives still import).
- [ ] **Step 5: Lint**
Run: `ruff check src/documents/management/commands/document_importer.py src/documents/tests/test_management_importer.py && ruff format src/documents/management/commands/document_importer.py src/documents/tests/test_management_importer.py`
Expected: no errors.
- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
```bash
git add src/documents/management/commands/document_importer.py src/documents/tests/test_management_importer.py
git commit -m "Feature: importer rejects archives with unreadable compression"
```
---
## Task 5: Document the flags
**Files:**
- Modify: `docs/administration.md`
- [ ] **Step 1: Add the flags to the option list**
In `docs/administration.md`, update the usage block (around line 257) to include the new flags:
```
document_exporter target [-c] [-d] [-f] [-na] [-nt] [-p] [-sm] [-z]
optional arguments:
-c, --compare-checksums
-cj, --compare-json
-d, --delete
-f, --use-filename-format
-na, --no-archive
-nt, --no-thumbnail
-p, --use-folder-prefix
-sm, --split-manifest
-z, --zip
-zn, --zip-name
--zip-compression
--zip-compression-level
--data-only
--no-progress-bar
--passphrase
```
- [ ] **Step 2: Add the prose**
After the `-z`/`--zip` paragraph (around line 330), add:
```markdown
The compression method for the zip can be set with `--zip-compression`
(`stored`, `deflated` (default), `bzip2`, `lzma`, or `zstd`) and tuned with
`--zip-compression-level` (deflated: 0–9, bzip2: 1–9, zstd: -131072–22; ignored
for `stored` and `lzma`). Both options require `--zip`.
!!! warning
`zstd` compression requires Python 3.14 or newer on **both** the machine
creating the export and any machine importing it. An archive compressed with
`zstd` (or `lzma`/`bzip2` where those modules are unavailable) cannot be
imported on a runtime that lacks the codec; the importer will refuse it with
a clear error. The default `deflated` is universally readable.
```
- [ ] **Step 3: Verify the docs build is not broken (lint markdown)**
Run: `ruff check docs/ 2>/dev/null; echo "docs are markdown; rely on prettier pre-commit"`
(No code to test. The prettier pre-commit hook will reformat on commit.)
- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add docs/administration.md
git commit -m "Docs: document --zip-compression and --zip-compression-level"
```
---
## Task 6: Final verification
**Files:** none (verification only).
- [ ] **Step 1: Full backend suites on the VM**
Run: `bash /c/Users/tholmes/Documents/Coding/paperless/vmtest.sh "src/documents/tests/export/ src/documents/tests/test_management_exporter.py src/documents/tests/test_management_importer.py -v"`
Expected: PASS, no failures.
- [ ] **Step 2: Spot-check the zstd happy path on Python 3.14 (cannot run under Django on the 3.11 VM)**
The zstd positive round-trip can't run in the 3.11 test env. Confirm the policy module behaves on a real 3.14 interpreter with a standalone check (no Django needed):
Run:
```bash
uv run --python 3.14 --no-project python -c "import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'src'); import django; print('skip')" 2>/dev/null || \
uv run --python 3.14 --no-project python -c "
import zipfile, io
from compression.zstd import CompressionParameter as CP
print('zstd const', zipfile.ZIP_ZSTANDARD, 'bounds', CP.compression_level.bounds())
buf = io.BytesIO()
with zipfile.ZipFile(buf,'w',compression=zipfile.ZIP_ZSTANDARD,compresslevel=19) as zf:
zf.writestr('a.txt','x'*1000)
with zipfile.ZipFile(buf) as zf:
assert zf.getinfo('a.txt').compress_type == zipfile.ZIP_ZSTANDARD
assert zf.read('a.txt') == b'x'*1000
print('zstd round-trip OK')
"
```
Expected: prints `zstd const 93 bounds (-131072, 22)` and `zstd round-trip OK`. This validates the constant, bounds, and that a zstd archive round-trips — the parts the 3.11 CI cannot exercise.
- [ ] **Step 3: Type-check on the VM (pyrefly)**
```bash
tar czf - src pyproject.toml uv.lock .pyrefly-baseline.json | ssh -o BatchMode=yes -p 2244 trenton@localhost 'tar xzf - -C ~/projects/paperless-ngx'
ssh -o BatchMode=yes -p 2244 trenton@localhost 'bash -lc "cd ~/projects/paperless-ngx && uv run pyrefly check"'
```
Expected: no new type errors beyond the baseline. (Note: `import compression.zstd` is guarded behind `importlib.import_module`, so it is never statically resolved on the 3.11 baseline.)
- [ ] **Step 4: Final lint**
Run: `ruff check src/documents/export/ src/documents/management/commands/document_exporter.py src/documents/management/commands/document_importer.py && ruff format --check src/documents/export/ src/documents/management/commands/document_exporter.py src/documents/management/commands/document_importer.py`
Expected: clean.
---
## Notes for the implementer
- **Default behavior is unchanged:** with no flags, the sink is constructed with `compression=ZIP_DEFLATED, compresslevel=None` — byte-method-identical to today (`shutil.make_archive` used `ZIP_DEFLATED` with no level). `test_default_zip_uses_deflate` pins this.
- **zstd availability is gated three ways and never imported statically:** the constant via `getattr`, the codec via `importlib.import_module("compression.zstd")`, and the CLI value rejected with a friendly message on < 3.14. The choices list always contains `zstd` so argparse doesn't hide it.
- **The importer pre-check is the safety net** for portability foot-guns — without it an unreadable entry raises a bare `NotImplementedError` mid-`extractall`. The check runs on `infolist()` (metadata only) before any extraction.
- **Why `--zip-compression` defaults to `None`, not `"deflated"`:** so `handle()` can detect "user passed it without `--zip`" and fail fast. The effective default is resolved as `zip_compression or "deflated"`.

# Interactive Shell Container Environment
**Date:** 2026-05-26
**Branch:** fix-tanvity-index-lock (to be implemented on a new branch)
**Status:** Approved
## Problem
When paperless-ngx users open an interactive shell in the running container via `docker exec -it <container> bash`, they do not see environment variables resolved from `*_FILE` secret injection.
The `init-env-file` s6 init script reads `PAPERLESS_*_FILE` variables (e.g. `PAPERLESS_SECRET_KEY_FILE=/run/secrets/key`), reads the referenced file, and writes the resolved value (e.g. `PAPERLESS_SECRET_KEY=abc123`) to `/run/s6/container_environment/`. All s6-managed services and management command wrappers use the `#!/command/with-contenv` shebang, which reads that directory and injects all vars into the process environment before execution.
`docker exec bash` bypasses s6 entirely. It is a non-login interactive shell launched directly by the Docker daemon, which provides only the original Docker-configured environment (the `*_FILE` paths, not the resolved values). Any manual command a user runs — such as `document_exporter` or `manage.py` calls — will be missing the resolved secrets unless they happen to also be set as plain Docker env vars.
## Approach
Source `/run/s6/container_environment/` in every interactive bash shell opened in the container, mirroring what `with-contenv` does for s6 services.
Two hooks are needed because Debian uses different rc files for different shell types:
- **Non-login interactive** (`docker exec bash`): sources `/etc/bash.bashrc`
- **Login interactive** (`docker exec bash --login`): sources `/etc/profile`, which auto-sources all `/etc/profile.d/*.sh`
## Changes
### 1. `docker/rootfs/etc/profile.d/contenv.sh` (new file)
A POSIX-compatible shell script that exports all files in `/run/s6/container_environment/` as environment variables. Placed here so login shells pick it up automatically.
```sh
#!/bin/sh
# Source s6 container environment for interactive shells.
# Ensures variables resolved from *_FILE secret injection are visible
# when using 'docker exec bash'. Does not affect s6 services (those
# use with-contenv directly). Has no effect in non-container contexts
# because the directory will not exist.
# Note: sh/dash shells opened via 'docker exec sh' are not covered;
# only bash-based sessions benefit from this file.
_pngx_contenv="/run/s6/container_environment"
if [ -d "${_pngx_contenv}" ]; then
for _pngx_f in "${_pngx_contenv}"/*; do
[ -f "${_pngx_f}" ] || continue
_pngx_name=$(basename "${_pngx_f}")
_pngx_val=$(cat "${_pngx_f}")
export "${_pngx_name}=${_pngx_val}"
done
fi
unset _pngx_contenv _pngx_f _pngx_name _pngx_val
```
### 2. Dockerfile `main-app` stage (one line added)
Appends a source line to `/etc/bash.bashrc` so non-login interactive shells also pick up contenv. Added after the runtime package installation block, before the Python dependency installation.
```dockerfile
RUN echo '. /etc/profile.d/contenv.sh' >> /etc/bash.bashrc
```
`/etc/bash.bashrc` is provided by the Debian base image and installed during the apt step, so it exists by the time this `RUN` executes.
## Coverage
| How user gets a shell | Gets contenv? | Mechanism |

## Edge Cases
**Shell opened before `init-env-file` completes:** The directory exists but may not yet contain all resolved vars. The script exports what is present; missing vars are simply absent. No error is produced.
**Variable value contains special characters:** `$(cat file)` strips only trailing newlines (which `init-env-file` already warns about). Other special characters are preserved correctly by the `export "NAME=VALUE"` form.
**Directory does not exist (non-container use):** The `[ -d ]` guard makes the script a no-op. Safe to include in any Debian-based image.
## Testing
No automated test is added. This is container-bootstrap shell plumbing with no Python code path. Manual verification: run the container with a `*_FILE` secret, `docker exec bash`, and confirm the resolved variable is present in the environment.

# LanceDB Node Metadata Enrichment
**Status:** Design
**Date:** 2026-06-09
**Branch target:** `dev`
**Prerequisite for:** AI taxonomy hints (`2026-05-20-ai-taxonomy-hints-design.md`)
**Depends on:** `feature-lancedb-schema-migrate`
## Problem
`build_llm_index_text` currently includes three short structured values in the embedding text:
```python
lines = [
f"Filename: {doc.filename}",
f"Storage Path: {doc.storage_path.name if doc.storage_path else ''}",
f"Archive Serial Number: {doc.archive_serial_number or ''}",
...
]
```
These don't belong in the embedding. The embedding should capture semantic content — the meaning of the document — not structured identifiers. Including them means vectors are partly "polluted" with filing metadata, making similarity search less accurate. The existing TODO in `embedding.py:115` explicitly calls this out.
The right home for structured values is `node.metadata` (excluded from the embedding, but surfaced to the LLM when nodes are retrieved as context). `title`, `tags`, `correspondent`, and `document_type` already follow this pattern.
Notes and custom fields stay in the embedding text — Notes is long free text, custom fields are dynamic and their semantic content belongs in the vector.
## Changes
### `paperless_ai/embedding.py` — `build_llm_index_text`
Remove the three lines and the TODO comment:
```python
# remove:
f"Filename: {doc.filename}",
f"Storage Path: {doc.storage_path.name if doc.storage_path else ''}",
f"Archive Serial Number: {doc.archive_serial_number or ''}",
```
`Notes` and `Custom Fields` lines remain.
### `paperless_ai/indexing.py` — `build_document_node`
Add the three fields to the metadata dict:
```python
metadata = {
"document_id": str(document.id),
"title": document.title,
"filename": document.filename or "",
"storage_path": document.storage_path.name if document.storage_path else None,
"archive_serial_number": document.archive_serial_number,
"tags": [t.name for t in document.tags.all()],
"correspondent": document.correspondent.name if document.correspondent else None,
"document_type": document.document_type.name if document.document_type else None,
"created": document.created.isoformat() if document.created else None,
"added": document.added.isoformat() if document.added else None,
"modified": document.modified.isoformat(),
}
```
All three new keys must also appear in `excluded_embed_metadata_keys` (consistent with all existing keys — none of the metadata is included in the embedding text).
### `paperless_ai/vector_store.py` — schema migration
Register migration version 2 on the `feature-lancedb-schema-migrate` framework. The embedding text changes, so all existing vectors are stale — a full rebuild is required. The migration's `apply` is a no-op; the rebuild handles regenerating all nodes with the correct metadata.
```python
MIGRATIONS: list[Migration] = [
Migration(
version=2,
description="move filename/storage_path/asn from embedding text to metadata",
requires_reembed=True,
apply=lambda table: None,
),
]
CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION: Final[int] = 2
```
On next `update_llm_index` run, `requires_reembed_migration()` returns `True`, triggering a full drop-and-rebuild. All new nodes carry the three metadata fields. No manual intervention required.
## Impact
- Similarity search quality improves slightly — vectors are more purely semantic.
- The LLM receives `filename`, `storage_path`, and `archive_serial_number` as structured metadata alongside retrieved chunks, rather than embedded in the chunk text. Same information, cleaner separation.
- One forced index rebuild on upgrade (beta: acceptable).
- `node.metadata["storage_path"]`, `node.metadata["filename"]`, `node.metadata["archive_serial_number"]` are available on all retrieved nodes after rebuild — unblocks the taxonomy hints feature.
## Testing
All tests use pytest style — grouped under classes, `@pytest.mark.django_db` on the class, `pytest-mock`'s `mocker` fixture, every fixture and test signature type-annotated. Format with `ruff` directly.
### `paperless_ai/tests/test_embedding.py` (modify)
- `class TestBuildLlmIndexText:`
- Assert `"Filename:"` is **not** in the output.
- Assert `"Storage Path:"` is **not** in the output.
- Assert `"Archive Serial Number:"` is **not** in the output.
- Assert Notes and Custom Fields lines are still present (regression guard).
### `paperless_ai/tests/test_ai_indexing.py` (modify)
- `class TestBuildDocumentNode:`
- `filename` is in `node.metadata` and in `excluded_embed_metadata_keys`.
- `storage_path` is in `node.metadata` (name string) and in `excluded_embed_metadata_keys`; `None` when document has no storage path.
- `archive_serial_number` is in `node.metadata` and in `excluded_embed_metadata_keys`; `None` when unset.
- None of the three appear in the embedding text produced for the node.
### `paperless_ai/tests/test_vector_store.py` (modify)
- `class TestSchemaMigrations:`
- `pending_migrations()` returns the v2 migration when stored version is 1.
- `requires_reembed_migration()` returns `True` when stored version is 1.
- `apply_structural_migrations()` stops at the v2 migration (skips reembed entries).

# LLM Index Schema Migrations (second spec)
Date: 2026-06-10
Depends on: `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-10-sqlite-vec-vector-store-design.md` and its implementation plan (`docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-10-sqlite-vec-transition.md`). This spec layers on top of the completed sqlite-vec transition; do not start it before that branch lands.
Supersedes: PR #12968 (in-place LanceDB migrations). The machinery design there is carried over nearly verbatim; only the storage backend specifics change. #12968 should be closed with a pointer here once this ships.
Scope update (user decision, 2026-06-10): the `embedding.py:115` metadata restructure originally drafted as Part 2 of this spec was folded into the transition plan instead (its Task 5), because the transition forces a full rebuild anyway, so the embedded-text change rides along with no extra re-embed cost. This spec is now machinery-only: it ships with an EMPTY migration registry, ready for whatever schema change comes next. Part 2 below is retained as the worked example of how a re-embed migration would be registered, since the next one will not have a free rebuild to piggyback on.
## Part 1: Schema migration machinery (ported from PR #12968)
### What carries over unchanged
The PR's design survives the store swap intact and is adopted as-is:
- `Migration` frozen dataclass: `version: int`, `description: str`, `requires_reembed: bool`, `apply: Callable` (compare/hash-excluded field).
- `MIGRATIONS: list[Migration]` ordered registry + `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION: Final[int]` in `vector_store.py`. To add a migration: bump the constant, append an entry.
- Store surface: `stored_schema_version() -> int` (0 when unrecorded, so pre-versioning tables treat every migration as pending), `pending_migrations()`, `requires_reembed_migration()`, `apply_structural_migrations() -> list[Migration]`.
- The stop-at-first-reembed-boundary rule in `apply_structural_migrations()`: structural migrations are applied in version order only up to the first pending `requires_reembed=True` entry, so the version counter can never jump past a re-embed boundary and silently skip the rebuild. (This was the subtle correctness insight of #12968; preserve the comment.)
- The `update_llm_index()` hook, verbatim from the PR:
```python
with write_store(embed_model_name=model_name) as store:
if not rebuild and store.table_exists():
store.apply_structural_migrations()
if store.requires_reembed_migration():
logger.warning(
"Schema migration requires re-embedding; forcing LLM index rebuild.",
)
rebuild = True
```
- Test approach from the PR: mock `MIGRATIONS`/`CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION` with `mocker.patch`, spy on `drop_table` to distinguish in-place from rebuild, one test per path (structural applied without rebuild; pending re-embed forces rebuild).
### What changes for sqlite-vec
**1. Version storage: `index_meta['schema_version']` instead of `schema_version.json`.**
The Lance store needed a sidecar JSON file because Lance had no convenient mutable metadata. The sqlite-vec store already has the `index_meta` key/value table, which is transactional with the data itself (a migration and its version bump commit atomically, which the file never could). Concretely:
- `_create_table(dim)` additionally writes `schema_version = str(CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION)` (fresh tables are always current).
- `stored_schema_version()` reads the meta key, returns 0 on absence/garbage.
- `drop_table()` already does `DELETE FROM index_meta`, which clears the version with it. No sidecar file, no unlink bookkeeping.
- `apply_structural_migrations()` writes the new version inside the same transaction as the last applied migration.
**2. `apply` receives the store, not a table handle.**
Lance migrations got the raw table for `add_columns`/`alter_columns`. vec0 virtual tables do not support arbitrary `ALTER TABLE`, so structural migrations are SQL against the store's connection. Signature: `apply: Callable[[PaperlessSqliteVecVectorStore], None]`. The store exposes what migrations need: `.client` (connection), `._table_name`, `.vector_dim()`, and the rebuild helper below.
**3. Structural migrations are create+copy+rename, sharing the compact() machinery.**
The sqlite-vec `compact()` already implements the only structural mutation vec0 supports: build a new table, `INSERT INTO ... SELECT` (vectors copied bit-for-bit, no re-embedding), drop old, rename. Factor it into a shared helper on the store:
```python
def rebuild_table(
self,
*,
create_sql: str | None = None,
copy_select: str | None = None,
) -> None:
"""Copy live rows into a freshly created table and swap it in.
Defaults reproduce the current schema (compaction). Structural
migrations pass a modified CREATE statement and a matching SELECT
(e.g. adding a column with a literal default). Runs in one
transaction; VACUUM afterwards.
"""
```
`compact()` becomes a thin caller (threshold check + `rebuild_table()`), and a structural migration like "add a `+page_count` aux column" is:
```python
Migration(
version=2,
description="add page_count auxiliary column",
requires_reembed=False,
apply=lambda store: store.rebuild_table(
create_sql=..., # CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE ... with the new column
copy_select="SELECT id, document_id, modified, node_content, embedding, '' FROM {old}",
),
)
```
A pleasant consequence: every structural migration is also a compaction (the copy drops dead rows), and the file-format risk surface is one helper with one test suite instead of two code paths.
**4. Bootstrap version for the sqlite-vec store is 1.**
The transition plan ships the new store without machinery; tables it creates carry no `schema_version` key and therefore read as 0. This release lands with `CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION = 1` and `MIGRATIONS = []`, so the bootstrap is unconditionally safe: a 0-version table has no pending migrations and `apply_structural_migrations()` simply stamps it to 1. (The metadata restructure having moved into the transition itself is what makes this clean; the registry's first real entry will be v2, written against tables that are all stamped.)
## Part 2 (worked example, IMPLEMENTED IN THE TRANSITION): the metadata TODO as a re-embed migration
This section was implemented as Task 5 of the transition plan and ships with the store swap, not with this spec. It is kept as the reference example of how to register the next re-embed migration.
### The change
`build_llm_index_text()` currently embeds three short structured values in the body text:
```python
f"Filename: {doc.filename}",
f"Storage Path: {doc.storage_path.name if doc.storage_path else ''}",
f"Archive Serial Number: {doc.archive_serial_number or ''}",
```
Per the TODO, move them to `node.metadata` (excluded from embeddings, visible to the LLM via llama-index's metadata prepend), the same treatment title/tags/correspondent/document_type got in PR #12944. Notes and Custom Fields stay in the body (long free text / dynamic count, as the TODO says).
1. `embedding.py build_llm_index_text()`: delete the three lines above (the `lines` list keeps Notes, Custom Fields, and Content). Update the TODO comment to describe only what remains intentional (Notes/Custom Fields stay embedded), or delete it.
2. `indexing.py build_document_node()` metadata dict gains:
```python
"filename": doc.filename,
"storage_path": document.storage_path.name if document.storage_path else None,
"archive_serial_number": document.archive_serial_number,
```
(`None`/int values are fine here: this dict lives in the node-content JSON, not in vec0 metadata columns; only `document_id`/`modified` are columns with the NULL restriction. Matches the existing convention of `correspondent: None`.) 3. `excluded_embed_metadata_keys=list(metadata.keys())` already covers the new keys; `excluded_llm_metadata_keys` stays `["document_id"]` so the LLM sees the new fields.
### Why this class of change needs a migration
Removing the three lines changes the embedded text of every document, so stored vectors no longer match what the current code would embed. Incremental updates only re-embed documents whose `modified` changed, so without a forced rebuild the index would be a mixed old/new-text population indefinitely. This particular change escaped that fate only because the transition's forced rebuild covers it. The next embedded-text change will not have that luxury and gets registered like this:
```python
CURRENT_SCHEMA_VERSION: Final[int] = 2
MIGRATIONS: list[Migration] = [
Migration(
version=2,
description="<what changed about the embedded text>",
requires_reembed=True,
apply=lambda store: None,
),
]
```
On the first `update_llm_index` after upgrade, the hook sees the pending re-embed migration, logs, and rebuilds.
### Test plan
Machinery only (the metadata change is tested in the transition plan's Task 5). Port of the #12968 tests, dedicated file `test_vector_store_migrations.py`: structural migration applies in-place without `drop_table`; pending re-embed forces rebuild; version stamping on create/drop; bootstrap stamping of a pre-machinery 0-version table to 1; stop-at-boundary with a mixed [structural v2, reembed v3, structural v4] registry asserting v4 is NOT applied and the stored version stays at 2; `rebuild_table()` round-trips rows byte-for-byte (shared with compact tests).
### Open questions
- PR #12968 disposition: close with a comment pointing at this spec once the machinery lands (the Lance-specific `add_columns` path has no successor; vec0 cannot do in-place column adds).
- `created`/`added` fields are also candidates for future structural metadata work, but nothing needs them now (YAGNI; noted only so the next reader does not re-derive it).

# sqlite-vec Vector Store Design (replaces PaperlessLanceVectorStore)
Date: 2026-06-10
Context: LanceDB wheels SIGILL on non-AVX2 CPUs (#12970); research in `2026-06-10-vector-store-alternatives-research.md` selected sqlite-vec. This is a beta feature, so a one-time re-embed on upgrade is acceptable. Every claim marked [VERIFIED] below was empirically tested against the actual PyPI wheel (0.1.9, and 0.1.10a4 where noted), either in this repo's scratch harness (`/tmp/vstore-avx-test/explore_sqlitevec*.py`) or by the issues-audit agent.
## Version pin: `sqlite-vec==0.1.9`, and why it is load-bearing
- The 0.1.9 linux x86_64 wheel is built with **no SIMD flags at all** (`vec_debug()` shows empty build flags) and passed our qemu Westmere (SSE4.2, no AVX) and SandyBridge (AVX, no AVX2) emulation tests [VERIFIED]. This is the entire point of the migration.
- The **0.1.10-alpha.4 wheel regresses this**: built with `-mavx -DSQLITE_VEC_ENABLE_AVX` file-wide, no runtime CPU dispatch. It can SIGILL on AVX-less CPUs, including Goldmont Atom/Celeron NAS boxes, exactly the #12970 user base [VERIFIED via vec_debug on the wheel].
- Guardrails: pin `==0.1.9` exactly; log `SELECT vec_version(), vec_debug()` at store init as an AVX canary; before ever bumping to 0.1.10+, re-check the wheel flags (and consider raising the runtime-dispatch issue upstream first).
- arm64: 0.1.9 manylinux aarch64 wheel is a proper ELF64 binary, no NEON flags baked [VERIFIED]. (The broken 32-bit "aarch64" wheel era was 0.1.6, fixed since.)
- No sdist on PyPI (asg017/sqlite-vec#211, open) and no musl wheels; fine for our Debian-based image, blocks Alpine bare-metal installs.
## Schema
One dedicated SQLite database file in `LLM_INDEX_DIR` (e.g. `llmindex.db`), never the Django DB. Connections set `PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL`, `busy_timeout`, `synchronous=NORMAL`.
```sql
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE nodes USING vec0(
id TEXT PRIMARY KEY, -- node_id (uuid)
document_id TEXT, -- METADATA column, deliberately NOT a partition key
modified TEXT, -- ISO timestamp; never NULL (sentinel "")
+node_content TEXT, -- auxiliary column: JSON payload, any size
embedding float[{dim}] distance_metric=cosine
);
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS index_meta (key TEXT PRIMARY KEY, value TEXT);
-- rows: embed_model, dim, schema_version, created_by_vec_version
```
Design decisions, each verified on 0.1.9:
- **`document_id` is a metadata column, not a partition key.** With a partition key, `k` applies per partition: `k=5 AND document_id IN (3 docs)` returns 15 rows (asg017/sqlite-vec#142, open) [VERIFIED]. As a metadata column the same query returns a correct global top-k of exactly 5 [VERIFIED]. `query_similar_documents()` passes permission-scoped `IN` lists, so per-partition semantics would over-fetch k x N(docs). At our scale the partition-pruning speedup is not needed (filtered KNN at 20K x 1024 was _faster_ than unfiltered: 39 ms vs 74 ms).
- **One document column, not two.** The Lance store carried both `doc_id` (ref_doc_id) and `document_id`; in our usage they are always the same value (`str(document.id)`), so the new schema keeps only `document_id`.
- **TEXT primary key works** (insert, UPDATE, DELETE, duplicate rejection) [VERIFIED]. There is no usable rowid mapping with a TEXT pk, which we do not need.
- **Aux column for the payload.** `+node_content` holds the multi-KB JSON; aux columns cannot appear in KNN WHERE clauses (loud error, not silent) [VERIFIED], which we never do, and are selectable in scans and KNN results [VERIFIED].
- **Metadata columns reject NULL** (asg017/sqlite-vec#141, open) [VERIFIED]. `_row()` must keep coercing everything through `str(... or "")` as it already does today.
- **`distance_metric=cosine`**: similarity maps as `1 - distance` (identical vector gives distance 0.0 [VERIFIED]). For unit-norm embeddings the ranking equals today's L2 ranking; for non-normalized models cosine is the safer default, and the beta re-embed makes the behavior change free. (L2 + `1/(1+d)` remains available if exact parity is ever wanted.)
- **Vectors are always bound as float32 BLOBs** (`struct.pack`/`np.tobytes`), never JSON text: bypasses the locale-dependent `strtod` parsing bug (asg017/sqlite-vec#241, open) entirely.
- Limits, all comfortable: dims <= 8192, k <= 4096, chunk_size default 1024 [VERIFIED]. TEXT metadata has no length cap; values > 12 bytes go to a shadow text table with a prefix fast-path, and the one historical bug at that boundary (long-metadata DELETE, #274) is fixed in 0.1.9.
## Method mapping (PaperlessLanceVectorStore -> PaperlessSqliteVecVectorStore)
| Current method | sqlite-vec implementation | Notes |
| --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `__init__(uri, table_name, embed_model_name)` | `sqlite3.connect(path)` + `enable_load_extension` + `sqlite_vec.load()` + PRAGMAs | Same lazy "table may not exist yet" stance |
| `client` property | the `sqlite3.Connection` | |
| `table_exists()` | `SELECT 1 FROM sqlite_master WHERE name='nodes'` | |
| `vector_dim()` | `index_meta['dim']` | Written at table creation; wrong-dim inserts are rejected by vec0 anyway [VERIFIED] |
| `drop_table()` | `DROP TABLE nodes` | Drops all 7 shadow tables with it [VERIFIED]; also clear `index_meta` |
| `stored_model_name()` / `config_mismatch()` | `index_meta['embed_model']` | Same conservative None handling |
| `_schema(dim, model)` | the CREATE statements above | dim from first batch, as today (`_ensure_table`) |
| `_row(node)` | same dict, vector packed to bytes | keep `str(... or "")` coercion (NULL rejection) |
| `add(nodes)` | `executemany(INSERT ...)` inside one transaction | ~3,300 rows/s at 1024 dims measured; batching via transactions |
| `upsert_document(document_id, nodes)` | `BEGIN; DELETE FROM nodes WHERE document_id = ?; executemany(INSERT); COMMIT` | **Not** `INSERT OR REPLACE`: broken on vec0 (asg017/sqlite-vec#259, open). Transaction gives the same no-transient-empty-state guarantee as merge_insert; rollback verified [VERIFIED] |
| `delete(ref_doc_id)` | `DELETE FROM nodes WHERE document_id = ?` | |
| `get_nodes(filters)` | `SELECT id, document_id, node_content, embedding FROM nodes [WHERE ...]` | full scans on vec0 work [VERIFIED]; 45 ms / 20K rows |
| `query(VectorStoreQuery)` | `SELECT id, node_content, embedding, distance FROM nodes WHERE embedding MATCH ? AND k = ? [AND filters]` then Python-slice to `top_k` | `k = ?` is mandatory; `LIMIT` cannot be combined with `k` [VERIFIED]; results arrive distance-sorted [VERIFIED]; similarities = `1 - distance` |
| `_build_where(filters)` | same EQ/IN translation, but emitting `?` placeholders + params list | **Upgrade**: bound parameters replace today's manual `_escape()` string interpolation |
| `get_modified_times()` | `SELECT document_id, modified FROM nodes` + first-seen dedupe in Python | identical logic |
| `ensure_document_id_scalar_index()` | no-op (delete if nothing else needs it) | metadata filters are evaluated in the chunk scan; nothing to create |
| `maybe_create_ann_index()` | no-op on 0.1.9 | ANN (rescore/diskann) is 0.1.10-alpha territory; adopting an ANN index makes the file unreadable by 0.1.9 (one-way door), while flat tables round-trip 0.1.9 <-> 0.1.10a4 cleanly [VERIFIED]. Revisit post-0.1.10-final |
| `compact(retention_seconds)` | **rebuild-based compaction**, see below | replaces Lance MVCC cleanup |
Filter constraint surface (loud errors otherwise, [VERIFIED]): only `=, !=, <, <=, >, >=, IN` on metadata columns in KNN queries. We use only EQ/IN. Never use `NOT IN` (the vtab cannot see it; SQLite post-filters and silently under-delivers below k, asg017/sqlite-vec#116).
## Compaction: the one real behavioral difference
vec0 DELETE only flips a validity bit; space is never reclaimed, and VACUUM recovers only about half (asg017/sqlite-vec#54, #220, open; fix PRs #243/#210 unmerged). Measured: 5 delete+reinsert cycles on 2K rows grew the file 3.32 MB -> 6.56 MB; VACUUM got back to 4.94 MB. Paperless's per-document churn (every document edit is a delete+reinsert) hits this directly.
So `compact()` becomes the maintainer-endorsed rebuild (asg017/sqlite-vec#205):
```sql
CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE nodes_new USING vec0(...);
INSERT INTO nodes_new SELECT id, document_id, modified, node_content, embedding FROM nodes;
DROP TABLE nodes;
ALTER TABLE nodes_new RENAME TO nodes; -- then VACUUM
```
This copies vectors without re-embedding, runs under the existing write FileLock, and slots into the existing `document_llmindex compact` command and the scheduled maintenance task. A cheap trigger heuristic: rebuild when `count(*) in nodes_rowids shadow` (cumulative) exceeds ~2x live rows, or just keep the existing scheduled cadence.
## Concurrency
vec0 is a plain vtab over ordinary shadow tables, so standard SQLite WAL semantics apply, and the existing architecture is already the textbook arrangement: writers serialized by `settings.LLM_INDEX_LOCK` FileLock, readers concurrent via WAL. Verified across processes: a reader during another process's open write transaction does not block and sees a consistent pre-transaction snapshot; post-commit it sees the new rows [VERIFIED]. No sqlite-vec-specific multi-process corruption, locking, or segfault reports exist in the tracker. The 0.1.10a4 cached-statement fix (#295) is a Firefox/mozStorage `sqlite3_close()` issue; CPython's `sqlite3` is unaffected, no Python-side reports.
Same caveat as the main SQLite DB: `LLM_INDEX_DIR` should not be on NFS.
## Performance expectations (measured on the 0.1.9 no-SIMD wheel)
- KNN 20K rows x 1024 dims: ~74 ms plain, ~39 ms with a metadata EQ filter.
- 100K x 768: 185 ms/query (vs 497 ms for LanceDB exact search on identical data).
- Extrapolated 500K x 1024-1536: ~0.9-1.8 s/query; 384 dims roughly 4x faster. Acceptable for suggestions/chat at the extreme tail; typical installs (low tens of thousands of chunks) are tens of ms.
- Insert: ~3,300 rows/s at 1024 dims in a single transaction.
- File size: ~raw vector size (~4.3 KB/row at 1024 dims), no compression; plus the bloat behavior above.
## Migration from the Lance store
Beta policy: re-embed. On startup/first index task: if `LLM_INDEX_DIR` contains a Lance table but no `llmindex.db`, log and queue a full rebuild, then remove the Lance directory. No cross-store vector copy, no lancedb import anywhere in the path (which is what un-breaks #12970 hosts: they currently crash at import, have no usable index, and get a fresh build).
PR #12968's migration machinery maps onto `index_meta['schema_version']`: structural migrations = create-new-table + `INSERT ... SELECT` + rename (vectors copied, no re-embed; same shape as the compaction rebuild); re-embed migrations = drop + full rebuild, jumping straight to the current version.
## Dependency changes
- Add: `sqlite-vec==0.1.9` (one ~100 KB platform wheel, zero Python deps).
- Remove: `lancedb~=0.33.0` (and its pylance/lancedb wheels, ~40 MB). `pyarrow` leaves this module; check whether anything else in the AI stack still needs it before dropping from pyproject.
## Test plan notes
- pytest-style per project convention; the store tests can run against a tmp_path DB file (or `:memory:` for pure-logic tests; extension loading works on uv-managed CPython [VERIFIED]).
- Port the existing `test_vector_store.py` surface; add dedicated tests for: upsert transactionality (no transient empty state mid-upsert from a second connection), NULL-coercion in `_row()`, k-slice behavior, EQ/IN filter correctness, compaction rebuild preserving rows byte-for-byte, vec_debug canary logging.
- The qemu matrix (`/tmp/vstore-avx-test/`) can be re-run against any future sqlite-vec bump: `qemu-x86_64 -cpu Westmere venv/bin/python candidate_test.py sqlite_vec <dir>`.
## Benchmark harness
`src/bench_vector_store.py` -- standalone head-to-head comparison run during the migration window when both `PaperlessLanceVectorStore` and `PaperlessSqliteVecVectorStore` coexist (Task 3 Phase A of the implementation plan). After Phase B replaces `vector_store.py`, the Lance import fails gracefully and only the sqlite-vec half runs (useful for post-migration baseline checks).
```bash
cd src
uv run python bench_vector_store.py # auto-generates bench_data.pkl on first run
uv run python bench_vector_store.py --regenerate # force re-embed

**Phase 1 (data generation, skipped if `bench_data.pkl` exists):** Faker generates `--n-docs` (default 2000) fake documents -- title, body, correspondent, ISO timestamp. Each body is split into `--chunks-per-doc` (default 3) equal-length chunks (~6000 total nodes). A warm-up embed call fires before generation to ensure the model is resident in GPU. All chunk texts are embedded via Ollama `/api/embed` in batches of 32 and saved to `bench_data.pkl`. Faker seed 42 for reproducibility.
**Phase 2 (benchmark):** Each store runs in an isolated `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory()`. Query vectors are drawn reproducibly from the corpus (every 10th node, wrapping).

# Agent prompt: add tracking todo for search Phase 2 (Whoosh→Tantivy date queries)
Paste the block below to the paperless-ngx agent. It is self-contained.
---
**Add a tracking todo for search Phase 2 (Whoosh→Tantivy date queries).**
Context discovered while reviewing the upstream `tantivy-py` library against
`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-14-search-query-translation-design.md`:
- §9 of that spec describes an "upstream tantivy-py contribution" needed before Phase 2:
making Python `datetime` objects work in `Query.range_query` / `Query.term_query` on
`Date` fields.
- **That contribution is already implemented on `tantivy-py` `master`** — it just postdates
the released `0.26.0` wheel the spec was tested against. Two commits close the gap:
**#655** (`feat: support unbounded range queries via None bounds`) and **#666**
(`fix: add_date loses tzinfo`, which added the `PyDateTime → tantivy DateTime` converter
and routed both `range_query` and `term_query` through it). `range_query` with `datetime`
(incl. `None` open bounds) and `term_query`/`term_set_query` with `datetime` on `Date`
fields were all verified working, and regression tests were added upstream.
- So the Phase 2 blocker is **no longer a code contribution** — it is simply **a released
`tantivy-py` version newer than the current `0.26.0` wheel that includes #655 + #666**,
plus the dependency bump on our side.
Please create a tracking todo (in whatever issue/todo system this repo uses) capturing:
1. **Title:** "Unblock search Phase 2: bump tantivy-py once a release includes datetime query
support (#655 + #666)."
2. **Trigger:** A `tantivy-py` release > the current `0.26.0` wheel containing both commits is
published to PyPI.
3. **Action when unblocked:** Bump the `tantivy-py` pin, then execute Phase 2 from the design
doc — replace Phase 1's string-sentinel open bounds (`0001-01-01…Z` / `9999-12-31…Z`) and
degenerate no-match ranges with real `tantivy.Query` objects (`range_query(..., None)` for
open bounds, `empty_query()` for no-match).
4. **Doc update:** Note in §8/§9 of
`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-14-search-query-translation-design.md` that the upstream
code already exists on master and only a release + bump remains.
Do not start Phase 2 implementation now — this is only a tracking todo. Confirm the current
pinned `tantivy-py` version in our dependency files when writing it.

# Design: Whoosh→Tantivy Advanced-Query Translation Layer
**Date:** 2026-06-14
**Status:** Phase 1 implemented on branch `fix/search-query-translation` (string-pipeline translation layer in `_translate.py`/`_dates.py`, wired into `parse_user_query`). Phase 2 (Query objects) remains gated on the tantivy-py release noted in §8/§9. Plan: `docs/superpowers/plans/2026-06-14-search-query-translation.md`.
**Branch context:** `beta`. Search code: `src/documents/search/`.
**Related:** `SEARCH_TANTIVY_WHOOSH_COMPAT.md` (repo root) — full empirical gap matrix and reproduction harnesses. Open branch `fix/scope-comma-expansion` (commit `d8fa97232`) — partial comma fix this design subsumes.
---
## 1. Problem
Paperless migrated full-text search from Whoosh (v2) to Tantivy (v3, commit `aed9abe48`, #12471). A
compatibility layer in `_query.py` rewrites old Whoosh query syntax into Tantivy syntax via a stack of
ordered regex substitutions before calling `tantivy.Index.parse_query`.
That regex stack is piecemeal and has hit its complexity ceiling:
- **No structural awareness.** It runs regex on a flat string, so it cannot distinguish a comma inside
`[...]` from a top-level clause separator, or know whether a `:` is a field prefix or text. This causes
real bugs (e.g. `title:x,created:[2020 TO 2021]` rewrites to malformed `title:x AND title:created:[...]`).
- **Order-dependence.** Six rewriters with implicit ordering contracts (14-digit before 8-digit, year-range
before 8-digit, etc.). Each new date form means reasoning about all interactions again.
The result is a class of v2-valid queries that now return **HTTP 400**. There is no fallback: any syntax
Tantivy rejects raises out of `parse_query`, propagates through `_backend.py` (no try/except), and is caught
by the generic handler in `views.py:2471-2475` → `HttpResponseBadRequest`, with the real error only in logs.
### Confirmed regressions (empirically reproduced; full table in `SEARCH_TANTIVY_WHOOSH_COMPAT.md` §5)
| Class | Example | Today | Whoosh v2 |
| ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------------- |
| Bare date on date field | `created:2020`, `created:202003` | 400 | full-year / full-month span |
| Bracketed absolute range | `created:[20200101 TO 20201231]`, `[2020-01-01 TO 2020-12-31]` | 400 | floor/ceil range |
| Open-ended range | `created:[2020 to]`, `created:[to 2020]` | 400 | `>=` / `<=` range |
| Comma between clauses | `title:x,created:[...]` | 400 (malformed) | AND, both sides |
| Comma value-list scope | `tag:foo,type:bar` | wrong (`tag:type:bar`) | `tag:foo AND type:bar` |
| Invalid date | `created:202023` | 400 | NullQuery (no-match) |
---
## 2. Goals / Non-goals
**Goals**
- Eliminate the date- and comma-class 400s by translating those forms to valid Tantivy syntax.
- Replace the order-dependent regex stack with a structural, context-aware pass.
- Match empirically-verified Whoosh v2 semantics (see §3).
- Additive tests: existing suite stays green during transition.
- **Field-name aliasing for the four renamed Whoosh→Tantivy fields** (added to scope 2026-06-14):
`type`→`document_type`, `type_id`→`document_type_id`, `path`→`storage_path`, `path_id`→`storage_path_id`.
These are the only fields the Tantivy migration renamed; v2 queries using the old names currently 400.
Both old and new spellings work after aliasing (new names pass through verbatim). The alias targets are the
text "name" fields (`document_type` is populated from `document_type.name`), so `type:invoice` →
`document_type:invoice` is correct. Fields with no Tantivy equivalent (`owner`, the `has_*` booleans,
`is_shared`, `custom_field_count`, `custom_fields_id`) are NOT aliased and remain out of scope.
**Non-goals (explicitly out of scope)**
- Full Whoosh query-language parity.
- Other Whoosh divergences: unknown-field-degrades-to-text (`http://x/a,b` → 400 on the `http:` unknown
field), tolerant unbalanced parens, case-insensitive `AND/OR/NOT`. These pass through to Tantivy unchanged
and are recorded as separate, known gaps (§10).
- `>`/`<`/`>=`/`<=` comparison operators — never supported in paperless-Whoosh (no `GtLtPlugin`); adding them
would be a new feature, not a compat fix.
---
## 3. Empirical ground truth (verified, not inferred)
Both engines were run directly; do not regress these without re-checking.
**Whoosh v2** (paperless's exact `MultifieldParser([...]) + DateParserPlugin(basedate=...)` setup):
- `created:2020` → `DateRange(2020-01-01 .. 2020-12-31 23:59:59)`; `created:202003` → March 2020.
- `created:202023` (month 23) → `<_NullQuery>` — **invalid dates match nothing, never error.**
- `created:[202001 TO 202006]` → floor/ceil partial-date bounds; `[2020 to]` / `[to 2020]` → open bounds.
- `created:-1week` → an exact-microsecond `Term` — parsed but matches ~nothing (useless in v2).
- Comma = AND between clauses, both preserved: `created:[r],added:[r]`, `correspondent:acme,created:[...]`,
`invoice,created:2020`.
- Comma value-list **only** for `KEYWORD(commas=True)` fields (`tag`, `tag_id`, `viewer_id`):
`tag:a,b` → `tag:a AND tag:b`. Text-field commas (`correspondent:foo,bar`, `title:10,20`) are split by the
field **analyzer** at parse time, not the comma plugin.
- `title:x,created:[...]` → only the DateRange (Whoosh drops `title:x`) — a v2 free-mode **bug**; the correct
target keeps both sides.
**Tantivy 0.26.0** (`tantivy v0.26.0, index_format v7`):
- Date fields require RFC3339 (`...Z`) literals; rejects bare `2020`, `20200101`, `2020-01-01`, lowercase
open ranges.
- Text-field commas parse fine verbatim (`correspondent:foo,bar`, `title:10,20`, `content:a,b,c`).
- Boolean/paren/phrase structure parses correctly, so a translated date token can sit anywhere:
`created:[...Z TO ...Z] OR foo` and `(created:[...] OR foo)` both parse.
- String date sentinels `0001-01-01T00:00:00Z` and `9999-12-31T23:59:59Z` both parse on a date field.
---
## 4. Architecture (Approach 1: flat tokenizing scanner + single date translator)
The scanner specializes only the date/comma tokens and treats everything else (operators, parens, phrases,
words, wildcards) as opaque passthrough. Tantivy keeps doing boolean/grouping/phrase parsing. A `field:value`
span is locally recognizable regardless of surrounding boolean context, so the scanner needs no understanding
of `AND/OR/NOT`.
### 4.1 Module layout
New module `src/documents/search/_translate.py` — single source of truth:
```
translate_query(raw: str, tz) -> str # top-level: scan → transform → recombine
scan(raw) -> list[Token] # depth-aware char-walk tokenizer
_resolve_commas(tokens) -> list[Token] # comma → AND / value-list / literal
translate_date_value(field, raw, tz) -> str # shape-dispatch date translator
```
Date-boundary math (`_date_only_range`, `_datetime_range`, floor/ceil helpers) **moves** from `_query.py`
into `_translate.py` (or a small shared `_dates.py`) so there is one home. The existing math is reused
verbatim — not rewritten.
### 4.2 Data flow
```
parse_user_query(raw, tz)
→ translate_query(raw, tz) # NEW pipeline
→ index.parse_query(translated, DEFAULT_SEARCH_FIELDS, field_boosts=_FIELD_BOOSTS)
```
### 4.3 Transition (delegate + planned removal)
- `rewrite_natural_date_keywords` and `normalize_query` become thin delegators to `translate_query` (or its
sub-steps) so their existing assertions still pass.
- The plan **explicitly schedules deleting both functions and their string-output tests** once
`test_translate.py` covers them. Single source of truth, no lingering dead code.
### 4.4 Safety net
`parse_user_query` wraps `translate_query` in try/except. On any unexpected scanner error it falls back to the
**raw** query string (today's behavior) and logs a warning. The new layer can never regress below current
behavior; worst case equals the status quo.
---
## 5. Scanner token model
`scan()` is a single left-to-right char walk tracking **quote state** and **`[]`/`{}` bracket depth**. Token
kinds:
- **`FieldValue(field, value)`** — `field:value`, value a single bare token (no brackets). Recognized when,
outside quotes/brackets, it sees `\w+:` followed by a non-bracket value. Value runs until whitespace, a
resolved clause-comma, `)`, or end (may itself be quoted: `correspondent:"A B"`).
- **`FieldValueList(field, [v1, v2, …])`** — value-list, **only** for `field ∈ {tag, tag_id, viewer_id}`. A
`FieldValue` whose value is immediately followed by `,term` runs with **no spaces and no colon** in the
continuation terms. The no-colon rule fixes `tag:foo,type:bar` (the `type:bar` is not swallowed).
- **`FieldRange(field, open, lo, hi, close)`** — `field:[lo TO hi]` / `{…}`. Split on case-insensitive
`TO`; `lo`/`hi` may be empty (open). Consumed to the matching close bracket.
- **`Comma`** — emitted only when a depth-0 comma resolves to a clause separator (see §7).
- **`Passthrough(raw)`** — everything else, byte-for-byte: operators (`AND OR NOT + -`), parens, bare words,
wildcards, phrases/quoted spans, whitespace.
**Key properties**
- `field:value` is recognized at any paren depth but **never inside `[]`/`{}` or quotes** — so
`(created:2020 OR foo)` still finds the date token, and commas inside `[2020 TO 2021]` or `"a,b"` are never
clause separators.
- Only date fields (`created`, `modified`, `added`) trigger date translation. Every other `field:value` /
`field:range` (`tag:`, `asn:`, unknown fields) and every `Passthrough` is re-emitted verbatim — preserving
queries Tantivy already handles.
- Multi-valued set is exactly `{tag, tag_id, viewer_id}`. `custom_fields` is now a JSON structure in the index
(Whoosh smashed it into a comma-keyword field; the JSON path handles it better) and is **not** comma-split.
---
## 6. `translate_date_value` — shape dispatch
One entry point per token type, both emitting `field:[<ISO-Z> TO <ISO-Z>]`. `created` uses date-only
(UTC-midnight) boundaries; `added`/`modified` use local-tz-midnight→UTC. All boundary math reuses the
existing tested helpers.
### Scalar value (`FieldValue` on a date field)
| Shape | Example | Result | Status |
| ----------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| Keyword (opt. quoted) | `created:today`, `"previous week"` | existing keyword ranges | works today |
| 4-digit `YYYY` | `created:2020` | full-year span, emitted as `[2020-01-01T…Z TO 2021-01-01T…Z]` | NEW |
| 6-digit `YYYYMM` | `created:202003` | month span | NEW |
| 8-digit `YYYYMMDD` | `created:20200101` | day span | works today |
| 14-digit | `…120000` | exact-second point `[t TO t]` | works today |
| ISO dashed | `created:2020-01`, `2020-01-01` | strip separators → digit-precision span | NEW |
| Bare relative `-N unit` | `created:-1week` | `[t TO t]` instant (effectively no-match, matches v2) | NEW (P3) |
| Invalid / unparsable | `created:202023` | **no-match clause, never 400** | NEW |
### Range (`FieldRange`)
Parse each bound with the same shape parser, then `floor(lo)` / `ceil(hi)`:
- Partial / ISO / 8-digit / 14-digit bounds: `[202001 TO 202006]`, `[2020-01-01 TO 2020-12-31]` — NEW.
- `now` bound: `[20200101 TO now]` — NEW.
- Open bound (empty side): `[2020 to]`, `[to 2020]` → sentinel far-past floor / far-future ceil (§8) — NEW.
- Relative bound: generalize existing `[-N unit to now]` so `-N unit` works on either side.
- Reversed (`lo>hi`): swap (existing year-range `min/max` + Whoosh `disambiguated` behavior).
- Bare year range `[2005 to 2009]`: unchanged (works today).
**Boundary convention:** keep the existing "ceil = start of next period, inclusive bracket" (e.g.
`[2005-01-01 .. 2010-01-01]`) that current tests encode. Do not switch to Whoosh's `23:59:59.999999`; document
the one-instant boundary difference.
---
## 7. Comma resolution
A depth-0 comma is resolved three ways (this single rule set subsumes both `fix/scope-comma-expansion` and
the unstaged `]`/`"` fix, and fixes Gap E):
1. **Value-list** — preceding token is a `FieldValue`/`FieldValueList` on `{tag, tag_id, viewer_id}` and the
following continuation is a bare, colon-free term → repeat the field: `tag:a,b,c` → `tag:a AND tag:b AND tag:c`.
2. **Clause separator → `AND`** — fires only at a structured boundary:
- (a) the comma is preceded by a closing `]` or `"` (`created:[r],added:[r]`, `correspondent:"A B",created:[r]`), or
- (b) the comma is followed by a **known schema** `field:` (`title:foo,created:[r]`, `correspondent:foo,created:[r]`).
Requiring a _known_ field for (b) prevents `http://x,…`-style misfires.
3. **Literal** — anything else (a comma followed by a bare term on a non-multivalue field) stays in place:
`correspondent:foo,bar`, `title:10,20`, URLs. Tantivy's analyzer tokenizes these on punctuation, matching
Whoosh's analyzer behavior.
---
## 8. Open-range handling & the two phases
**Phase 1 (this work) — string output, no tantivy change.**
Open bounds use verified string sentinels: lower-open → `0001-01-01T00:00:00Z`, upper-open → `9999-12-31T23:59:59Z`
(both confirmed to parse on a date field in 0.26.0). No-match (invalid date) uses a degenerate date range
(exact representation flagged for verification in §11).
**Phase 2 (stretch) — build `tantivy.Query` objects for date clauses.**
`Query.range_query(..., lower_bound=None/upper_bound=None)` gives true open bounds and `empty_query()` gives a
real no-match, eliminating all string hacks. **Gated only on a released `tantivy-py` > 0.26.0 that includes
#655 + #666 — the code already exists on `tantivy-py` `master`, it just postdates the `0.26.0` wheel we pin
(`pyproject.toml`: `tantivy~=0.26.0`); see §9.** Splicing a Query object into an otherwise-string boolean query
is non-trivial, so Phase 2 is a separate, later effort; Phase 1 ships independently.
Phase 2 also folds in the deferred Phase-1 cleanup (maintainer decision, 2026-06-15):
- Replace the `NO_MATCH` degenerate-range sentinel with `Query.empty_query()` (this also retires the cosmetic
issue that `NO_MATCH` always names the `created` field regardless of the queried field).
- Replace `OPEN_LO`/`OPEN_HI` string sentinels with `range_query(..., None)` open bounds.
- Retire the now-dead `_rewrite_*` helpers and the `rewrite_natural_date_keywords`/`normalize_query` delegation
shims in `_query.py` (~160 lines left from the Phase-1 transition), and migrate their string-output tests in
`test_query.py` (replace the direct `_rewrite_compact_date` test with a `translate_scalar` test).

> (`pyproject.toml`: `tantivy~=0.26.0`). The PR-ready detail below is retained as the historical record of
> the gap as observed against `0.26.0`.
**Repo:** `quickwit-oss/tantivy-py`. **Observed version:** `0.26.0` (`tantivy v0.26.0, index_format v7`).
**Gap.** Python `datetime` objects cannot be passed to _any_ Query constructor for a `Date` field. Both
`Query.range_query` and `Query.term_query` reject them:
```
Expected DateTime type for field created, got datetime.datetime(2020, 1, 1, 0, 0, tzinfo=datetime.timezone.utc)
```
Int timestamps (seconds and nanoseconds) are also rejected, and there is no exposed/constructible
`tantivy.DateTime` (`hasattr(tantivy, "DateTime") is False`). Consequently **all** date querying in paperless
goes through `parse_query` strings; every object-mode `term_query` in the codebase is on integer fields
(`id`, `owner_id`, `viewer_id`).
**Context.** PR #655 (merged 2026-04-27) added unbounded (`None`) bounds to `range_query`. That solved open
_bounds_ but left the date _value_ path unusable from Python, so the open-range feature can't actually be used
on date fields from Python yet.
**Reproduction** (against installed 0.26.0):
```python
import tantivy
from datetime import datetime, UTC
schema = build_schema() # any schema with a date field "created"
dt1, dt2 = datetime(2020,1,1,tzinfo=UTC), datetime(2021,1,1,tzinfo=UTC)
tantivy.Query.range_query(schema, "created", tantivy.FieldType.Date, lower_bound=dt1, upper_bound=dt2)
# -> ValueError: Expected DateTime type for field created, got datetime.datetime(...)
tantivy.Query.range_query(schema, "created", tantivy.FieldType.Date, lower_bound=dt1, upper_bound=None)
# -> same error (open bound is fine; the date VALUE is the problem)
tantivy.Query.term_query(schema, "created", dt1)
# -> same error
```
**Proposed fix (preferred):** in the Rust binding, when the target field is `Date`, accept a Python
`datetime` and convert internally to `tantivy::DateTime` (e.g. `DateTime::from_timestamp_nanos(...)`), mirroring
the conversion the indexing path already performs when adding date values to a document (document add-date
already accepts `PyDateTime`). This makes `range_query`/`term_query` consistent with indexing. The value-coercion
lives in the Query-construction value handling (the term/bound extraction in the query bindings, e.g.
`src/query.rs`); reuse the existing `PyDateTime → tantivy DateTime` converter from the document bindings rather
than adding a new one. Confirm exact locations against the tantivy-py source at PR time.
**Alternative:** expose a constructible `tantivy.DateTime` (from a Python `datetime` or an epoch-nanos int) and
accept it in `range_query`/`term_query`. Less ergonomic; only do this if reusing the indexing converter proves
awkward.
**Validation for the PR:**
- `range_query` on a `Date` field with two `datetime` bounds builds and returns expected hits.
- `range_query` with one `datetime` bound and one `None` (open) works on a `Date` field.
- `term_query` on a `Date` field with a `datetime` builds and matches.
- Round-trip: index a doc with a known date, query it back via both closed and open ranges.
When this lands and we bump tantivy-py to the release containing it, Phase 2 (§8) becomes unblocked.
---
## 10. Out of scope / known separate gaps
- **Unknown-field 400.** `http://example.com/a,b` → `Field does not exist: 'http'`. Tantivy treats `http:` as
a field; Whoosh's `remove_unknown=True` degraded unknown fields to text. This is the unknown-field divergence,
not a comma or date issue. Recorded, not fixed here.
- `>`/`<`/`>=`/`<=` comparisons — never supported in paperless-Whoosh.
- Bare relative scalar (`created:-1week`) is P3: it "worked" in v2 but matched nothing. We only guarantee
no-400.
---
## 11. Items to verify during implementation
- Exact RFC3339 **open-bound sentinels** to standardize on (`0001-01-01T00:00:00Z` / `9999-12-31T23:59:59Z`
both parse; confirm they also behave in actual searches, not just parsing).
- The **no-match clause** string representation for a date field (a degenerate/empty range that parses but
matches nothing). In Phase 2 this becomes `empty_query()`.
- ISO-dashed precision handling parity with Whoosh's separator-stripping (`-`, `.`, space).
- Coordination with `fix/scope-comma-expansion`: either land this after that branch merges and delete its
now-redundant regex, or absorb its narrowing directly. Do not ship both comma implementations.
---
## 12. Test plan (additive)
- **`test_translate.py` (new):**
- `scan()` token-sequence tests: quotes, brackets, parens, URLs, value-lists, mixed clauses.
- `translate_date_value` shape table: every §6 row (scalar + range), all three date fields,
UTC/Eastern/Auckland timezones (reuse existing tz test patterns).
- comma resolution: value-list (`tag`/`tag_id`/`viewer_id`), clause-sep (after `]`/`"`, before known
`field:`), literal (text fields, URLs, `title:10,20`).
- `translate_query()` golden cases: the full §3 / report-§5b ground-truth matrix.
- **Parse-acceptance guardrail (current tests lack this):** for every golden case assert
`index.parse_query(translate_query(q))` does not raise, against a real index.
- **End-to-end:** a `views.py` search test asserting previously-400 v2 queries (`created:2020`,
`created:[20200101 TO 20201231]`, `title:x,created:[…]`) now return 200.
- Existing tests stay green via delegation; on removal of the old functions, migrate any unique assertions
into `test_translate.py`.

## 13. Verification harnesses (keep for regression / ground-truth regeneration)
**Tantivy side** (does a translated string parse?):
```bash
cd src && PAPERLESS_SECRET_KEY=x uv run python -c "
import django, os, tempfile
os.environ.setdefault('DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE','paperless.settings'); django.setup()
import tantivy
from documents.search._schema import build_schema
from documents.search._tokenizer import register_tokenizers
from documents.search._query import DEFAULT_SEARCH_FIELDS, _FIELD_BOOSTS
idx = tantivy.Index(build_schema(), path=tempfile.mkdtemp()); register_tokenizers(idx,'english')
idx.parse_query('<translated string>', DEFAULT_SEARCH_FIELDS, field_boosts=_FIELD_BOOSTS)
"
```
**Whoosh side** (what did v2 do? — ground truth):
```bash
uv run --with cached_property python3 -W ignore -c "
import sys; sys.path.insert(0,'whoosh/src')
from datetime import datetime
from whoosh.fields import Schema, TEXT, DATETIME, KEYWORD
from whoosh.qparser import MultifieldParser
from whoosh.qparser.dateparse import DateParserPlugin
schema = Schema(title=TEXT(), content=TEXT(), correspondent=TEXT(),
tag=KEYWORD(commas=True, lowercase=True), tag_id=KEYWORD(commas=True), viewer_id=KEYWORD(commas=True),
type=TEXT(), created=DATETIME(), added=DATETIME(), modified=DATETIME(), notes=TEXT(), custom_fields=TEXT())
qp = MultifieldParser(['content','title','correspondent','tag','type','notes','custom_fields'], schema)
qp.add_plugin(DateParserPlugin(basedate=datetime(2026,6,14,14,0,0)))
print(qp.parse('<query>'))
"
```

## 14. Phased summary
- **Phase 1 (now):** `_translate.py` scanner + `translate_date_value`, string output, sentinel open bounds,
delegation shims, additive tests, parse-acceptance guardrail, end-to-end 400→200 tests. Ships on tantivy
0.26.0, no upstream dependency. Subsumes `fix/scope-comma-expansion`.
- **Phase 2 (later, gated on §9 upstream):** build `tantivy.Query` objects for date clauses — true open ranges
via `range_query(None)`, real no-match via `empty_query()`, no string sentinels. Requires the tantivy-py
date-value contribution and a version bump.
