📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The goal of this session was to improve the handling of file metadata in the process_books_dir function and ensure seamless synchronization with the Supabase database.

Key Activities

• Updated the process_books_dir Function: Improved metadata management by loading existing records and appending new entries without overwriting UUIDs.
• Fixed Metadata Reset Issues: Addressed bugs related to the reset of files_metadata and chunks_metadata by ensuring existing metadata is loaded and new entries are appended correctly.
• Enhanced Debugging for Supabase Updates: Implemented detailed logging and print statements to assist in debugging issues with updating chunks to Supabase.
• Debugged Metadata Synchronization: Resolved inconsistencies between local metadata and Supabase, focusing on duplicate key errors and synchronization logic.
• Synced Local Metadata to Supabase: Developed a Python function to push local metadata to Supabase with error handling and workflow integration.
• Synced New Chunks to Supabase: Modified functions to append only new chunks, checking for existing file IDs to avoid re-uploading.
• Diagnosed and Fixed Chunk Upload Issues: Identified and resolved chunk ID conflicts during uploads to Supabase by checking for existing chunks before upload.

Achievements

• Successfully enhanced the metadata management process and ensured efficient synchronization with Supabase.

Pending Tasks

• Further testing of the new synchronization functions in a production environment.
• Continuous monitoring and debugging of the Supabase integration to ensure long-term stability.
