# StarPunk v1.1.0 Implementation Validation & Search UI Design **Date**: 2025-11-25 **Architect**: Claude (StarPunk Architect Agent) **Status**: Review Complete ## Executive Summary The v1.1.0 implementation by the developer is **APPROVED** with minor suggestions. All four completed components meet architectural requirements and maintain backward compatibility. The deferred Search UI components have been fully specified below for implementation. ## Part 1: Implementation Validation ### 1. RSS Feed Fix **Status**: ✅ **Approved** **Review Findings**: - Line 97 in `starpunk/feed.py` correctly applies `reversed()` to compensate for feedgen's internal ordering - Regression test `test_generate_feed_newest_first()` adequately verifies correct ordering - Test creates 3 notes with distinct timestamps and verifies both database and feed ordering - Clear comment explains the feedgen behavior requiring the fix **Code Quality**: - Minimal change (single line with `reversed()`) - Well-documented with explanatory comment - Comprehensive regression test prevents future issues **Approval**: Ready as-is. The fix is elegant and properly tested. ### 2. Migration System Redesign **Status**: ✅ **Approved** **Review Findings**: - `SCHEMA_SQL` renamed to `INITIAL_SCHEMA_SQL` in `database.py` (line 13) - Clear documentation: "DO NOT MODIFY - This represents the v1.0.0 schema state" - Comment properly directs future changes to migration files - No functional changes, purely documentation improvement **Architecture Alignment**: - Follows ADR-033's philosophy of frozen baseline schema - Makes intent clear for future developers - Prevents accidental modifications to baseline **Approval**: Ready as-is. The rename clarifies intent without breaking changes. ### 3. Full-Text Search (Core) **Status**: ✅ **Approved with minor suggestions** **Review Findings**: **Migration (005_add_fts5_search.sql)**: - FTS5 virtual table schema is correct - Porter stemming and Unicode61 tokenizer appropriate for international support - DELETE trigger correctly handles cleanup - Good documentation explaining why INSERT/UPDATE triggers aren't used **Search Module (search.py)**: - Well-structured with clear separation of concerns - `check_fts5_support()`: Properly tests FTS5 availability - `update_fts_index()`: Correctly extracts title and updates index - `search_notes()`: Implements ranking and snippet generation - `rebuild_fts_index()`: Provides recovery mechanism - Graceful degradation implemented throughout **Integration (notes.py)**: - Lines 299-307: FTS update after create with proper error handling - Lines 699-708: FTS update after content change with proper error handling - Graceful degradation ensures note operations succeed even if FTS fails **Minor Suggestions**: 1. Consider adding a config flag `ENABLE_FTS` to allow disabling FTS entirely 2. The 100-character title truncation (line 94 in search.py) could be configurable 3. Consider logging FTS rebuild progress for large datasets **Approval**: Approved. Core functionality is solid with excellent error handling. ### 4. Custom Slugs **Status**: ✅ **Approved** **Review Findings**: **Slug Utils Module (slug_utils.py)**: - Comprehensive `RESERVED_SLUGS` list protects application routes - `sanitize_slug()`: Properly converts to valid format - `validate_slug()`: Strong validation with regex pattern - `make_slug_unique_with_suffix()`: Sequential numbering is predictable and clean - `validate_and_sanitize_custom_slug()`: Full validation pipeline **Security**: - Path traversal prevented by rejecting `/` in slugs - Reserved slugs protect application routes - Max length enforced (200 chars) - Proper sanitization prevents injection attacks **Integration**: - Notes.py (lines 217-223): Proper custom slug handling - Micropub.py (lines 300-304): Correct mp-slug extraction - Error messages are clear and actionable **Architecture Alignment**: - Sequential suffixes (-2, -3) are predictable for users - Hierarchical slugs properly deferred to v1.2.0 - Maintains backward compatibility with auto-generation **Approval**: Ready as-is. Implementation is secure and well-designed. ### 5. Testing & Overall Quality **Test Coverage**: 556 tests passing (1 flaky timing test unrelated to v1.1.0) **Version Management**: - Version correctly bumped to 1.1.0 in `__init__.py` - CHANGELOG.md properly documents all changes - Semantic versioning followed correctly **Backward Compatibility**: 100% maintained - Existing notes work unchanged - Micropub clients need no modifications - Database migrations handle all upgrade paths ## Part 2: Search UI Design Specification ### A. Search API Endpoint **File**: Create new `starpunk/routes/search.py` ```python # Route Definition @app.route('/api/search', methods=['GET']) def api_search(): """ Search API endpoint Query Parameters: q (required): Search query string limit (optional): Results limit, default 20, max 100 offset (optional): Pagination offset, default 0 Returns: JSON response with search results Status Codes: 200: Success (even with 0 results) 400: Bad request (empty query) 503: Service unavailable (FTS5 not available) """ ``` **Request Validation**: ```python # Extract and validate parameters query = request.args.get('q', '').strip() if not query: return jsonify({ 'error': 'Missing required parameter: q', 'message': 'Search query cannot be empty' }), 400 # Parse limit with bounds checking try: limit = min(int(request.args.get('limit', 20)), 100) if limit < 1: limit = 20 except ValueError: limit = 20 # Parse offset try: offset = max(int(request.args.get('offset', 0)), 0) except ValueError: offset = 0 ``` **Authentication Consideration**: ```python # Check if user is authenticated (for unpublished notes) from starpunk.auth import get_current_user user = get_current_user() published_only = (user is None) # Anonymous users see only published ``` **Search Execution**: ```python from starpunk.search import search_notes, has_fts_table from pathlib import Path db_path = Path(app.config['DATABASE_PATH']) # Check FTS availability if not has_fts_table(db_path): return jsonify({ 'error': 'Search unavailable', 'message': 'Full-text search is not configured on this server' }), 503 try: results = search_notes( query=query, db_path=db_path, published_only=published_only, limit=limit, offset=offset ) except Exception as e: app.logger.error(f"Search failed: {e}") return jsonify({ 'error': 'Search failed', 'message': 'An error occurred during search' }), 500 ``` **Response Format**: ```python # Format response response = { 'query': query, 'count': len(results), 'limit': limit, 'offset': offset, 'results': [ { 'slug': r['slug'], 'title': r['title'] or f"Note from {r['created_at'][:10]}", 'excerpt': r['snippet'], # Already has tags 'published_at': r['created_at'], 'url': f"/notes/{r['slug']}" } for r in results ] } return jsonify(response), 200 ``` ### B. Search Box UI Component **File to Modify**: `templates/base.html` **Location**: In the navigation bar, after the existing nav links **HTML Structure**: ```html ``` **Behavior**: - Form submission (full page load, no AJAX for v1.1.0) - Minimum query length: 2 characters (HTML5 validation) - Maximum query length: 100 characters - Preserves query in search box when on search results page ### C. Search Results Page **File**: Create new `templates/search.html` ```html {% extends "base.html" %} {% block title %}Search{% if query %}: {{ query }}{% endif %} - {{ config.SITE_NAME }}{% endblock %} {% block content %}

Search Results

{% if query %}

Found {{ results|length }} result{{ 's' if results|length != 1 else '' }} for "{{ query }}"

{% endif %}
{% if query %} {% if results %}
{% for result in results %} {% endfor %}
{% if results|length == limit %} {% endif %} {% else %} {% endif %} {% else %}

Enter search terms above to find notes

{% endif %} {% if error %} {% endif %}
{% endblock %} ``` **Route Handler**: Add to `starpunk/routes/search.py` ```python @app.route('/search') def search_page(): """ Search results HTML page """ query = request.args.get('q', '').strip() limit = 20 # Fixed for HTML view offset = 0 try: offset = max(int(request.args.get('offset', 0)), 0) except ValueError: offset = 0 # Check authentication for unpublished notes from starpunk.auth import get_current_user user = get_current_user() published_only = (user is None) results = [] error = None if query: from starpunk.search import search_notes, has_fts_table from pathlib import Path db_path = Path(app.config['DATABASE_PATH']) if not has_fts_table(db_path): error = "Full-text search is not configured on this server" else: try: results = search_notes( query=query, db_path=db_path, published_only=published_only, limit=limit, offset=offset ) except Exception as e: app.logger.error(f"Search failed: {e}") error = "An error occurred during search" return render_template( 'search.html', query=query, results=results, error=error, limit=limit, offset=offset ) ``` ### D. Integration Points 1. **Route Registration**: In `starpunk/routes/__init__.py`, add: ```python from starpunk.routes.search import register_search_routes register_search_routes(app) ``` 2. **Template Filter**: Add to `starpunk/app.py` or template filters: ```python @app.template_filter('format_date') def format_date(date_string): """Format ISO date for display""" from datetime import datetime try: dt = datetime.fromisoformat(date_string.replace('Z', '+00:00')) return dt.strftime('%B %d, %Y') except: return date_string ``` 3. **App Startup FTS Index**: Add to `create_app()` after database init: ```python # Initialize FTS index if needed from starpunk.search import has_fts_table, rebuild_fts_index from pathlib import Path db_path = Path(app.config['DATABASE_PATH']) data_path = Path(app.config['DATA_PATH']) if has_fts_table(db_path): # Check if index is empty (fresh migration) import sqlite3 conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path) count = conn.execute("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM notes_fts").fetchone()[0] conn.close() if count == 0: app.logger.info("Populating FTS index on first run...") try: rebuild_fts_index(db_path, data_path) except Exception as e: app.logger.error(f"Failed to populate FTS index: {e}") ``` ### E. Testing Requirements **Unit Tests** (`tests/test_search_api.py`): ```python def test_search_api_requires_query() def test_search_api_validates_limit() def test_search_api_returns_results() def test_search_api_handles_no_results() def test_search_api_respects_authentication() def test_search_api_handles_fts_unavailable() ``` **Integration Tests** (`tests/test_search_integration.py`): ```python def test_search_page_renders() def test_search_page_displays_results() def test_search_page_handles_no_results() def test_search_page_pagination() def test_search_box_in_navigation() ``` **Security Tests**: ```python def test_search_prevents_xss_in_query() def test_search_prevents_sql_injection() def test_search_escapes_html_in_results() def test_search_respects_published_status() ``` ## Implementation Recommendations ### Priority Order 1. Implement `/api/search` endpoint first (enables programmatic access) 2. Add search box to base.html navigation 3. Create search results page template 4. Add FTS index population on startup 5. Write comprehensive tests ### Estimated Effort - API Endpoint: 1 hour - Search UI (box + results page): 1.5 hours - FTS startup population: 0.5 hours - Testing: 1 hour - **Total: 4 hours** ### Performance Considerations 1. FTS5 queries are fast but consider caching frequent searches 2. Limit default results to 20 for HTML view 3. Add index on `notes_fts(rank)` if performance issues arise 4. Consider async FTS index updates for large notes ### Security Notes 1. Always escape user input in templates 2. Use `|safe` filter only for our controlled `` tags 3. Validate query length to prevent DoS 4. Rate limiting recommended for production (not required for v1.1.0) ## Conclusion The v1.1.0 implementation is **APPROVED** for release pending Search UI completion. The developer has delivered high-quality, well-tested code that maintains architectural principles and backward compatibility. The Search UI specifications provided above are complete and ready for implementation. Following these specifications will result in a fully functional search feature that integrates seamlessly with the existing FTS5 implementation. ### Next Steps 1. Developer implements Search UI per specifications (4 hours) 2. Run full test suite including new search tests 3. Update version and CHANGELOG if needed 4. Create v1.1.0-rc.1 release candidate 5. Deploy and test in staging environment 6. Release v1.1.0 --- **Architect Sign-off**: ✅ Approved **Date**: 2025-11-25 **StarPunk Architect Agent**
