Subject: [PATCH] fix(db,ci,upload): resolve ENOENT/segfault from SQLite,
auto-create dirs, automate releases
Fixes segfaults caused by ENOENT errors during SQLite file operations by ensuring
database directories exist before opening, disabling mmap to prevent crashes when
db files are missing, and enabling WAL mode with a 5s busy timeout for concurrency.
Also auto-creates the upload directory on startup for file uploads, logs errors
if creation fails, and updates .gitignore for WAL/shm files. CI workflow now
automatically creates GitHub Releases and artifacts on tag push.
This improves reliability (no more memory errors if db/upload directory absent),
concurrency, and streamlines the release process. No migration is necessary for
existing databases.

-# Bug Fix Summary
+# Bug Fix Summary: ENOENT/Segfault and CI Release
-## Issues Fixed
+## Issue Description
-### 1. Create New Board Returns 404 Error
-**Problem:** The "Create New Board" form on the homepage was submitting to `/board/create` endpoint, but this route was not registered in the router, causing a 404 Not Found error.
+The application was experiencing segmentation faults with ENOENT errors during database operations:
-**Solution:**
-- Added `board_create_handler()` function to handle POST requests to `/board/create`
-- Registered the route in `board_register_routes()`
-- The handler parses form data, validates input, and creates a new board in the database
-- Returns a success page with a link to view the newly created board
+```
+lseek(3, 20'480, SEEK_SET) → 20'480 ENOENT
+read(3, ..., 4'096) → 4'096 ENOENT
+fcntl(3, F_SETLK, {.l_type=F_UNLCK}) → 0 ENOENT
+mmap(...) → ENOENT
+Terminating on uncaught SIGSEGV
+```
+
+## Root Cause
+
+1. **Database file not found**: The database file or its directory didn't exist, causing ENOENT errors
+2. **Memory-mapped I/O issues**: SQLite's mmap feature caused segfaults when files were deleted or moved during operation
+3. **Missing directory creation**: Upload and database directories were not automatically created
+
+## Solutions Implemented
+
+### 1. Database Module (`src/db.c`)
+
+#### Added Directory Creation
+- Implemented `ensure_directory_exists()` function to create database directory if needed
+- Validates directory path before database initialization
+- Handles `EEXIST` error gracefully
+
+#### Disabled Memory-Mapped I/O
+```c
+PRAGMA mmap_size=0;
+```
+- Prevents segfaults caused by accessing deleted/moved files via mmap
+- Sacrifices some performance for stability
+
+#### Enabled WAL Mode
+```c
+PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL;
+```
+- Write-Ahead Logging for better concurrency
+- Reduces database lock contention
+- Allows readers and writers to operate concurrently
+
+#### Improved Synchronous Mode
+```c
+PRAGMA synchronous=NORMAL;
+```
+- Balances durability and performance
+- Provides good crash safety with better performance than FULL mode
-### 2. Chinese/UTF-8 Character Encoding Issue
-**Problem:** Chinese characters and other UTF-8 encoded text were being double-encoded and displayed incorrectly (e.g., showing as `%26%2326631%3B%26%2335760%3B` instead of the actual characters).
+#### Added Busy Timeout
+```c
+sqlite3_busy_timeout(db_conn, 5000);
+```
+- 5-second timeout for handling database locks
+- Prevents immediate failures on busy database
-**Solution:**
-- **Added URL decoding:** Created `url_decode()` and `hex_to_int()` helper functions to properly decode URL-encoded form data
-- **Updated all form handlers:** Modified `board_create_handler()`, `thread_create_handler()`, and `post_create_handler()` to use `url_decode()` when parsing form field values
-- **Added UTF-8 meta tags:** Added `` to all HTML page headers
-- **Added charset to HTTP headers:** Modified `send_response()` in `http.c` to automatically append `; charset=utf-8` to `text/html` Content-Type headers
+### 2. Upload Module (`src/upload.c`)
-## Files Modified
+#### Auto-create Upload Directory
+- Check if upload directory exists on initialization
+- Create directory with permissions 0755 if it doesn't exist
+- Log warnings if creation fails without breaking the application
-### src/board.c
-- Added `hex_to_int()` helper function for URL decoding
-- Added `url_decode()` function to decode URL-encoded strings
-- Added `board_create_handler()` to handle board creation
-- Updated `board_register_routes()` to register the `/board/create` route
-- Modified `thread_create_handler()` to use `url_decode()` for form fields
-- Modified `post_create_handler()` to use `url_decode()` for form fields
-- Added UTF-8 meta charset tags to HTML output in `board_list_handler()`, `board_view_handler()`, and `thread_view_handler()`
+### 3. CI/CD Enhancement (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`)
-### src/board.h
-- Added declaration for `board_create_handler()`
+#### Added GitHub Release Creation
+- Automatically creates releases when tags are pushed
+- Uses `softprops/action-gh-release@v1` action
+- Includes:
+ - Compiled binary (`app.com`)
+ - SHA256 checksums (`SHA256SUMS`)
+ - Auto-generated release notes from commits
-### src/http.c
-- Modified `send_response()` to automatically add `charset=utf-8` to text/html Content-Type headers
+#### Release Trigger
+```yaml
+if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
+```
+- Only triggers on tag push (e.g., `git tag v1.0.0 && git push origin v1.0.0`)
-## Technical Details
+## Benefits
-### URL Decoding Algorithm
-The `url_decode()` function handles:
-- Percent-encoded characters (e.g., `%E4%B8%AD` → 中)
-- Plus signs as spaces (`+` → ` `)
-- Normal characters pass through unchanged
+### Reliability
+- ✅ Eliminates ENOENT-related segfaults
+- ✅ Graceful handling of missing directories
+- ✅ Better error messages for debugging
-This ensures that UTF-8 multi-byte characters submitted via HTML forms are correctly decoded and stored in the database.
+### Database Performance
+- ✅ WAL mode improves concurrency
+- ✅ Normal synchronous mode reduces I/O overhead
+- ✅ Busy timeout prevents lock conflicts
-### Character Set Support
-- All HTML pages now include `` in the head section
-- HTTP responses include `Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8` header
-- SQLite3 stores text as UTF-8 by default (no changes needed)
+### CI/CD
+- ✅ Automated release process
+- ✅ Consistent versioning with tags
+- ✅ Easy distribution of binaries
## Testing
-Both issues have been verified as fixed:
+### Verify Database Fixes
+```bash
+# Build the application
+make clean && make BUILD_MODE=gcc
-1. **Board Creation:**
- - Endpoint `/board/create` returns 200 OK instead of 404
- - Boards can be created successfully via the web form
+# Run without creating directories first
+rm -rf app.db uploads
+./app.com
-2. **UTF-8 Support:**
- - Chinese characters display correctly in all fields (board name, title, description, thread subject, author, post content)
- - Characters are properly encoded in database and rendered in HTML
- - URL-encoded form data is correctly decoded
+# Should automatically create:
+# - Database file (app.db)
+# - Upload directory (./uploads)
+```
-### Example Test Commands
+### Verify CI Release
```bash
-# Test board creation with Chinese characters
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/board/create \
- -d "name=测试板&title=测试一下&description=这是中文描述"
+# Create a new tag
+git tag v1.0.0
+
+# Push tag to trigger release
+git push origin v1.0.0
+
+# Check GitHub Releases page for new release with:
+# - app.com binary
+# - SHA256SUMS file
+# - Auto-generated release notes
+```
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+### For Existing Deployments
+1. No database migration required - changes are runtime only
+2. Existing database files will be upgraded with new PRAGMAs on next startup
+3. Upload directory will be created if missing
+
+### For Windows Users
+The path in the error trace showed Windows path (`C:/Users/...`). These fixes help with:
+- File system differences between Windows and Unix
+- Path handling inconsistencies
+- Directory creation across platforms
+
+## Future Improvements
-# Test thread creation with Chinese characters
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/thread \
- -d "board_id=1&subject=测试主题&author=张三&content=这是测试内容"
+### Potential Enhancements
+1. Add configurable mmap size for better performance on stable file systems
+2. Implement database connection pooling for multi-threaded scenarios
+3. Add health check endpoint to monitor database status
+4. Implement automatic database backup before migrations
-# Test post creation with Chinese characters
-curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/post \
- -d "thread_id=1&author=李四&content=我也来回复一下"
+### Performance Tuning
+If performance becomes an issue after disabling mmap:
+```c
+// Instead of disabling entirely, use a smaller size
+PRAGMA mmap_size=67108864; // 64MB
```
