## What Was Done
### Problems Identified
1. **Empty Content Records**: 20 memories with NULL or empty content (2.3%)
2. **Duplicate Records**: 696 duplicate memories across 75 groups (79.5%)
### Actions Taken
1. ✅ Created backup: `memories_backup_20251014` (875 records)
2. ✅ Deleted 20 empty content records
3. ✅ Deleted 696 duplicate records (kept oldest in each group)
4. ✅ Verified all data quality checks passed
### Results
- **Before**: 875 records (18.2% valid data)
- **After**: 159 records (100% valid data)
- **Removed**: 716 corrupted/duplicate records (81.8%)
- **Preserved**: 159 unique memories (100% of valuable data)
- **Data Loss**: Zero unique memories lost

## Rollback Procedure
**Backup Table**: `memories_backup_20251014`
**Retention Period**: Until October 21, 2025 (7 days)
If rollback is needed:
```sql
DELETE FROM memories;
INSERT INTO memories SELECT * FROM memories_backup_20251014;
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM memories; -- Should show 875
```
After confirming database is stable (after 7 days):
```sql
DROP TABLE memories_backup_20251014;
```

## Preventive Measures
### Validation
- Implement content validation at memory creation
- Reject empty content submissions
- Validate minimum content length
### Deduplication
- Add unique constraint on (user_id + content_hash)
- Implement duplicate detection before insertion
- Use content hashing for efficient duplicate checks
### Test Data Management
- Use separate test database/namespace
- Implement test data cleanup procedures
- Tag test data for easy identification
### Monitoring
- Track data quality metrics
- Monitor duplicate creation rate
- Alert on content validation failures
- Schedule periodic data quality audits
