duckdb-board-cache-rebuild-json-columns
The solution is written and validated. Here's a summary:
~/SOLUTION.mdNote on environment: The hermes-canopy project files (board.db, JSONL logs, the two stock scripts) are not present in this workspace, so I couldn't run against the live cache — column names/types were derived from your problem description. The normalization logic is functionally verified below.
Three independent failure modes, all from heterogeneous rows across time (JSONL is authoritative, board.db is a throwaway untracked cache):
KeyError: 'timestamp' — legacy rows lack timestamp; bare row["timestamp"] indexing dies.ConversionException INTEGER→VARCHAR[] — legacy rows store files_changed/capability_tags as int (not lists); DuckDB won't bind an int into a VARCHAR[].Malformed JSON — JSON-typed columns (model_used, api_calls, blocked_reason, …) need a serialized JSON string, not a Python dict/list.The events table rebuilds cleanly because it never varied across generations.
One self-contained tolerant_board_rebuild.py that: DELETEs tasks, builds an explicit programmatic column list (existing schema ∈ JSONL keys, ALTER TABLE-extended), coerces list columns to list[str] (wrapping legacy ints/scalars) for VARCHAR[], json.dumps JSON columns, backfills timestamp from aliases (created_at/ts/…), and reads every record via .get(col, None) so nothing can KeyError. Plus a DuckDB/SQL verification + row-count/checksum parity probe.
py3.14).int → ['2'] for VARCHAR[], timestamp backfilled from created_at/0, dict/list → valid JSON strings — all asserts pass.The JSON columns actually come out as {"name": "gpt"} etc. (values that include "timestamp" chain) — the fix handles both the absence of timestamp and the ALTER TABLE fallback when JSONL gains new columns.
