Intent

Retire onboardingChecklistDismissed as a user value. Dismissal is a platform UI flag and belongs on users, so leftover values (operator plus several other accounts) can drop without a user action.

Summary

  • Add nullable users.onboarding_checklist_dismissed_at.
  • Migration 0015 backfills from leftover user-scope onboardingChecklistDismissed rows and deletes only those entries (session/app leftovers stay put).
  • Onboarding reads the column first, copies any leftover value onto the column, and writes the column only.
  • Update the users test schema and onboarding node tests, including leftover-value copy and a migration regression for non-user leftovers.

Testing

  • npx vitest run --project node-unit packages/worker/src/mcp/onboarding-checklist.node.test.ts packages/worker/src/mcp/onboarding-checklist-migration.node.test.ts (5 passed).
  • npm run migrations:check (ok).

System changes

System recap — extends existing primitives (medium risk)

Mode: recap · Base: main @ 313e1de2 · Head: e0fb8f7e

Classification: extends — dismissal persistence moves from leftover values onto a new users column, and MCP onboarding read/write follow that contract.

Primitives touched

Primitive Group Impact
d1-app-db storage extends — new users.onboarding_checklist_dismissed_at, user-scope backfill, delete leftover user-scope value rows
mcp-server surfaces extends — onboarding dismiss reads/writes the column; leftover values copy on read

Change flow

Onboarding dismiss now lands on users instead of a leftover value row.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds users.onboarding_checklist_dismissed_at, migrates existing dismissal values, reads legacy values during transition, and writes new timestamps directly to the users table. Tests cover timestamp persistence and legacy-value migration.

Changes

Onboarding dismissal migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Column and data migration
packages/worker/migrations/0015-users-onboarding-checklist-dismissed-at.sql, packages/worker/src/users-test-schema.ts, tools/migration-ledger.json, docs/contributing/architecture/values-retirement-runbook.md
Migration 0015 adds the nullable dismissal column, backfills it from user-scoped legacy values, and deletes those rows. The test schema, migration ledger, and runbook describe the column and migration.
Runtime persistence and compatibility
packages/worker/src/mcp/onboarding-checklist.ts, packages/worker/src/mcp/tools/search-onboarding-notice.ts
Reads check the users column first and migrate legacy values when needed. New dismissals write ISO timestamps to the column.
Persistence and compatibility tests
packages/worker/src/mcp/onboarding-checklist.node.test.ts
Tests seed users, verify persisted timestamps, and validate legacy-value migration during checklist reads.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 91d82

The migration can irreversibly delete same-named session or app data without backfilling it. Merge should wait until cleanup is limited to user-scoped values and preservation of non-user entries is verified.

Scope the cleanup to user-scoped buckets.

value_buckets.scope permits session, app, and user, but the DELETE removes the matching name from every scope. Add an EXISTS condition requiring vb.scope = 'user', and add a test that preserves a same-named non-user entry.

Source: Coding guidelines

Migration 0015 already backfilled from user buckets; the DELETE now matches that scope so session/app leftovers stay put.

Preview manual test on https://kody-pr-1540.kody-a99.workers.dev (e0fb8f7e):

Scripted (seeded user-me):

  • POST /onboarding/checklist-dismiss.json → { ok: true }
  • GET /onboarding.json → checklist.dismissed === true
  • Dismiss writes the users column only — no leftover onboardingChecklistDismissed is created
  • A leftover value can still be saved; checklist stays dismissed (dual-read / leftover copy)

UI pass:

  • Signed in as me@kentcdodds.com
  • No onboarding checklist banner after dismiss
  • Account nav has no Values item (Overview through Email)
  • /account/values still loads with the leftover-config lede

CI on this head is green (Static, Node, Workers, MCP, E2E, Validate, CLA, Bugbot). CodeRabbit was rate-limited with no new comments after the user-scope DELETE constraint.
