🏷️ Labels: Metadata, Supabase, Python, Debugging, File Processing, Automation
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The session aimed to enhance the process_books_dir function for better metadata management and to resolve synchronization issues with Supabase.

Key Activities:

• Updated the process_books_dir function to handle local file metadata more effectively by loading existing records, appending new entries, and preventing UUID overwrites.
• Fixed a bug in metadata management that prevented the reset of files_metadata and chunks_metadata by ensuring existing metadata was loaded and new entries appended without overwriting.
• Enhanced debugging for Supabase updates by adding detailed logging and print statements to the script.
• Diagnosed and addressed metadata synchronization issues between local files and Supabase, focusing on duplicate key errors and chunk processing logic.
• Developed a Python function to push local metadata to Supabase, incorporating checks for existing entries and error handling.
• Modified a function to append only new chunks to Supabase, checking for existing file IDs to skip already uploaded chunks.
• Diagnosed and fixed chunk upload issues by addressing chunk ID conflicts and preventing duplicate key errors.

Achievements:

• Improved metadata management in the process_books_dir function.
• Enhanced logging and debugging for Supabase updates.
• Resolved synchronization issues with Supabase, ensuring efficient data sync and chunk management.

Pending Tasks:

• Further testing of the new metadata synchronization process with Supabase to ensure robustness in various scenarios.
• Integration of the updated functions into the broader workflow for seamless operation.
