## 🎯 Change Summary
### What Changed
- **Component**: vibe-mcp (MCP Server for Claude Code)
- **Change Type**: Feature Addition
- **Impact Level**: Critical (affects core messaging functionality)
### Files Modified
1. `store/sqlite.js` - NEW (370 lines)
- SQLite persistence module
- Matches Tauri app schema exactly
- Shared database: `~/.vibecodings/sessions.db`
2. `store/api.js` - MODIFIED
- `sendMessage()` - Now saves to SQLite + API
- `getInbox()` - Hybrid SQLite + API
- `getThread()` - Hybrid SQLite + API
3. `package.json` - MODIFIED
- Added dependency: `better-sqlite3@^11.0.0`
---
## 🔄 System Integration Points
### 1. **Shared Database**
- **Location**: `~/.vibecodings/sessions.db`
- **Shared By**:
- Vibe Terminal app (Tauri/Rust)
- MCP Server (Node.js)
- **Concurrency**: WAL mode enabled for multi-process access
- **Schema**: Identical (messages table matches Tauri LocalMessage struct)
### 2. **Backend API**
- **Endpoint**: `https://www.slashvibe.dev/api/messages`
- **Role**: Source of truth for message sync
- **Impact**: None (API unchanged, just added SQLite layer)
### 3. **Vibe Terminal App**
- **Impact**: Positive (will now see CLI messages in app)
- **Changes Required**: None (app already has SQLite support)
- **Testing**: Verify messages from CLI appear in app
---
## ⚠️ Deployment Considerations
### Pre-Deployment Checks
- [x] Code review complete
- [x] Dependencies installed (`npm install` successful)
- [x] Schema matches Tauri app exactly
- [x] Error handling in place (graceful degradation)
- [x] Posted to The Wire for coordination
- [ ] **TODO**: Test with real messages
- [ ] **TODO**: Verify SQLite WAL mode compatibility
- [ ] **TODO**: Check database file permissions
### Potential Risks
1. **SQLite Lock Contention**
- Risk: App and MCP both writing simultaneously
- Mitigation: WAL mode enabled, 5s busy timeout
- Monitor: Watch for SQLITE_BUSY errors
2. **Schema Drift**
- Risk: App updates schema, MCP doesn't match
- Mitigation: Schema is stable, both use same version
- Monitor: Check for write errors
3. **Database Size**
- Risk: Database grows unbounded
- Mitigation: Users can manage their own database
- Monitor: Check `~/.vibecodings/sessions.db` size
4. **Permission Issues**
- Risk: MCP can't access database file
- Mitigation: Error handling with graceful fallback
- Monitor: Check for permission denied errors

## 🧪 Testing Plan
### Phase 1: Local Testing (5 min)
```bash
# 1. Send message from terminal
/vibe dm @seth "test MCP sqlite integration"
# 2. Verify SQLite
sqlite3 ~/.vibecodings/sessions.db \
"SELECT * FROM messages WHERE content LIKE '%test MCP%';"
# 3. Open Vibe Terminal app
# Expected: Message appears in DM with @seth
```
### Phase 2: Cross-Session Testing (5 min)
```bash
# Terminal A: Send message
/vibe dm @bob "session A test"
# Terminal B: Check thread
/vibe open @bob
# Expected: "session A test" appears
```
### Phase 3: App Integration Testing (5 min)
```bash
# 1. Open app, send message to @alice
# 2. Close app
# 3. Terminal: /vibe open @alice
# Expected: App message appears in terminal
```

## 📊 Success Metrics
### Immediate (Day 1)
- [ ] MCP server starts without SQLite errors
- [ ] Messages save to database (0 errors)
- [ ] Messages appear in Vibe Terminal app
- [ ] No SQLITE_BUSY errors
- [ ] Performance < 10ms for SQLite reads
### Short-term (Week 1)
- [ ] No database corruption reports
- [ ] Message persistence works across restarts
- [ ] No memory leaks
- [ ] Database size growth is reasonable
### Long-term (Month 1)
- [ ] Users report improved messaging reliability
- [ ] No rollback needed
- [ ] System is stable
---
## 🔙 Rollback Plan
If issues occur:
### Quick Rollback (< 5 min)
```bash
cd ~/Projects/vibe-mcp
git revert HEAD
npm install
# Restart MCP server
```
### Fallback Behavior
- MCP server has graceful degradation
- If SQLite fails, falls back to API-only mode
- No data loss (API is source of truth)
---
## 📞 Coordination with Other Agents
### Current Wire Status
Checked `https://www.slashvibe.dev/api/team-sync`:
- ✅ `vibeanalytics` - Launch ready, metrics tracking active
- ✅ `claude_code_mac_studio` - MCP SQLite integration posted
- No conflicts detected
### Coordination Needed
1. **Vibe Terminal App**: None (compatible out of box)
2. **Backend API**: None (unchanged)
3. **Analytics**: May see increase in message persistence metrics
4. **Other MCP Users**: Will get update when they pull latest

## 🚀 Deployment Steps
### 1. Commit Changes
```bash
cd ~/Projects/vibe-mcp
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: Add SQLite persistence for v2 messaging
- Messages now persist to local SQLite database
- Shared database with Vibe Terminal app (~/.vibecodings/sessions.db)
- Hybrid approach: SQLite (fast) + API (sync)
- Offline support via local cache
- Fixes terminal→app and app→terminal messaging persistence
Files:
- store/sqlite.js (NEW) - SQLite persistence module
- store/api.js - sendMessage(), getInbox(), getThread() now use SQLite
- package.json - Added better-sqlite3 dependency
Wire: Posted to team-sync (mcp_sqlite_integration)
Coordination: Ready for deployment, no conflicts"
```
### 2. Push to Remote
```bash
git push origin main
```
### 3. Deploy to NPM (if published)
```bash
npm version patch
npm publish
```
### 4. Notify Users
- Post update to Discord/Slack
- Update README with new features
- Document SQLite behavior
### 5. Monitor
- Watch for SQLite errors in logs
- Check database file size
- Monitor performance
- Gather user feedback

## 📝 Notes for Seth
- ✅ Wire communication complete
- ✅ All changes documented
- ✅ Dependencies installed
- ⏳ Ready to test and deploy
- 📍 Database location: `~/.vibecodings/sessions.db`
- 🔍 Test with: `/vibe dm @seth "test message"`
